I miss andrew too..he is such a dear person.
I do think that as in real life, we have to make people, as our own family does..Take stock. We need to say ...."hey you are being a shit..cut it out. You are disturbing the
harmony." We couldnt let that happen in our home. We cant afford to let it happen here either... If my husband came in every night having a fit, or pushing the family around...
It would be up to me to point out to him....To cease and desist...its just how relationships and families work...if they work.. If you allow the two year old child to continually throw fits, and cause disruption, you have to put a stop to that as well. It has to be handled. Same here...people have to mellow out. For the good of all.

I know, some of those people who mosed on, Celeste, Andrew, yeah I miss their presence, but they seem like they were doing well, they moved on because they had something else to demand their attention and that is preferable to leaving because your possed about something.

I talked to Andrew just a couple of weeks ago.
I miss his presence.

I'm not sure I ever knew Andrew although I have seen his name. He may have left before I arrived. As far as staying in the middle I actually try to do that too in the sense that I want to try and understand others thoughts and actions. I do agree that too much friction can cause an unhappy household. But I do want BetterMost to be a place where people are not afraid to express themselves. I do think it is that type of place now and I think the moderators here are trying to keep it that way.

A statement by Artiste made me think of something. That statement was, "Everyone touches us, even for a moment." This statement is so true, but yet so many of us never think about it or even realize it. Everyone you come into contact with has some type of impact on you and in some ways builds the person you are or the person you will become. Some of course have stronger impacts, but it doesn't really matter how long the contact was for. Someone can make a huge impact on you even if you only knew them for a very short time. In some ways I think of a mind as something like a CD, tracks are written to it each and every moment and the impacts of some things create longer tracks. I can see images in my mind of people who I only knew for short periods of time and that time may be long ago, but it will never go away. Suddenly something can bring that thought back to you such as a song or something similar. So I end this thought with some lyrics from a song called "Closing Time" by Semisonic.
"Closing time
Time for you to go out to the places you will be from
Closing time
This room won't be open till your brothers or your
sisters come
So gather up your jackets, move it to the exits
I hope you have found a friend
Closing time
Every new beginning comes from some other
beginning's end"
