July 01, 2003Doing Yourself A Favor®I wrote a few weeks ago about Helping Folks Out ©. Now, because of Helping A Girl Out©, I am compelled to Do Myself A Favor®. What is this new technique you ask? It is a matter of self-preservation. Even given Ben Franklin’s sage advice and the tendency of an older woman as a mistress to keep things discreet (#4), I am going to have to stop Helping TGR Out ©. Something I have failed to mention in this space was this one aside from TGR from the initial Helping Out © session. “You know if my ex-husband finds out about this, he’s gonna try to kill you. When we were separated there was a guy I went out with a couple of times and he tried to kill him.” I shrugged it off at the time because I was certain that the secret was safe. However, an aside like that does not go away. It has nagged at me since then. In our most recent session of Helping Each Other Out ©, I brought it up. Continue reading to see how I handled the delicate issue-- A: You know you kind of freaked me out when you said you’re ex would try to kill me if he ever found out about us. T: He will. He’s pretty crazy, shot at that other guy with a 9 mm. A: And did you go as far with that guy as we have? T: Oh no, it was nothing like what we have. A: …. A: Where did you say he was? T: Well, he’s in Brussels right now on some job. I’m not sure when he’ll be back, but I’m pretty sure he’s shacked up with some girl. A: (quickly calculating the travel time from Brussels to my locale) Oh, okay. T: Do you want some more wine? A: Make it a double. Later, after T has had more wine— T: You know I’ve got to tell you something—I hope you don’t take it the wrong way. A: What is it, darlin’? T: I just love you. A: …. T: You know? I can’t help it. I love you to pieces. A: That is so sweet of you. I really haven’t earned that or deserve it, but thank you. T: Oh yes, you do. A: Darlin? T: Yes? A: Kiss me.
So, now we have a new concept—Doing Yourself A Favor®. Doing Yourself A Favor® is a direct outcrop from system crashes of the Helping Folks Out © method. I will Do Myself A Favor® and cease Helping T Out ©. Further, I will extend my Doing Myself A Favor® to getting serious about my impending move to Atlanta and try to expedite it. To any gentle readers who ever have a system crash of the Helping Folks Out © system, please be sure to install the Doing Yourself A Favor® patch as soon as humanly possible. (Side note: whenever confronted with protestations of love when Helping Folks Out © and you can honestly reciprocate the feeling, by all means do so. If you cannot always employ the Kiss Me technique for maintaining the momentum of the moment.)
