What does she mean when she says

[freescorfr]

in reply to my post answering her question, "Are you happy, really happy?" - which I answered from the heart and in fair detail as to my present state of contentment,

"Big problems with the seedlings. Do I leave them out and risk the cats and the frost or do I leave them in the greenhouse? What a lovely problem."

I'm not kidding, I pour out my heart and that's her response.

What do you make of it? - I can't ask her she's away for a week.

In such cases, I think the only proper response is to get into the non sequitur spirit of things and reply:

"I know exactly what you mean, my dear. Eclipses of the sun and moon occur far too often for me, as well."

I'm more tempted, knowing the context, which is a very old love of my early years - partially re-ingited after not seeing each other for 28 years, all our adult life - to treat it as a metaphor.

Are we talking about the offspring here?

I reckon she's asking your opinion on whether to wear a bra or not.

I hadn't seen that myself, foxinsox. I suppose women know these things. Well, what do you think? Shall I reply, "As regards your lovely problem, keep the buds uncovered."

She'd understand that wouldn't she?

Unfortunately not Riff. This is not my wife - it's someone else's.

I'm afraid she may be talking horticulture here.

I'd reply:

"Whip 'em out and shake 'em for me, baby."

But that's just me

She may just need process time.

Sometimes when I read something where someone is pouring out their heart, I don't have an immediate response. Especially when it is in writing.

I am not one the people who will give you a hug (( )) or say "Oh, I will pray for you!" I don't like trite phrases like, "Hang in there," "I know how you feel," on and on.

I have read it. I can process the information I have been given and it will add a new dimension in my understanding of a person. I try to keep to my own life experiences when replying to people. I try not to give advice, although sometimes that is difficult. I feel if I can tell them how I can relate to their experience, I am acknowledging them, too.

She has the information, watch and see how she might relate to you differently now that she has it.

There is the advice I try not to give.

April, baby, you must understand... this is a very low cut dress. If I shake 'em, why, they'll fall out altogether.

And we can't have that, now, can we?

I'm ready for fallout.........

Oh my goodness....there's an image to wake up to. I'm glad I started with this post.

Then why are you wearing such a low-cut dress? Is that, too, a metaphor?

Seedlongs... hmmm.you don't think she may mean your 3 piece ensemble, do you?

Maybe you should take those out and shake them around...

(that would be my answer)

Another metaphor or dandruff.


But notice as soon as there's a hint of infidelity how the girls hi-jack the thread.

I acknowledge your words regarding your feelings of infidelity. Seems it is something you need to explore and doesn't seem to me like you are not being faithful to your present situation. Has read like you and your wife have been connecting more lately, also. Sometimes it seems when we open to someone on the net we also open more to those in our 3D world.

See? This is not what I would normally reply, but is what I would be thinking...
