]]> Comment on Happy Marriage? by Yana Turner http://mindyandmax.com/2010/08/15/happy-marriage/#comment-186 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 03:36:47 +0000 http://mindyandmax.wordpress.com/?p=350#comment-186 I could not agree with you more. I am not sure why people choose to stay where they do given their unhappiness. Everyone in that relationship feels the unhappiness including the children and so the parents are doing their kids a disservice because they will follow in their footsteps. Most likely taking on a relationship of their own and repeating their parents loveless steps without even realizing it.

It’s the hardest thing I have ever done. Twice. I do agree with you though, I was not ready the first time either and it ruthlessly sucks when kids are involved but the way I see it, when you are miserable and depressed in a relationship, you are no good to anyone, even your children. Going through the motions gets real old after awhile. Its better to be happy and single because when you are miserable everyone around you is miserable. God has a plan for us all. Have faith.

I am going to read back posts now to see what else you’ve written about the search. But how cool to discover a brother! It’s like a fairy tale.

One of my old roommates, Sarah (mentioned in the book) is adopted and wrote a great memoir in 1998 called “Ithaka: A daughter’s journey of being found” about her birth family locating her, contacting her, and the feelings and discoveries that it all brought up. She discovered 3 full siblings! I can’t wait to hear how knowing Chris enriches your already rich heart.

The force is totally with you.

]]> Comment on Funeral For A Friend Indeed! Toot! Toot! by Mary Poole http://mindyandmax.com/2010/07/01/funeral-for-a-friend-indeed-toot-toot/#comment-160 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 02:49:53 +0000 http://mindyandmax.wordpress.com/?p=293#comment-160 THAT I TOTALLY linked to my facebook page. Fabulous story, fabulously written as always Mindy. And kudos to you for taking your kid to funerals so he knows how this routine goes. I know moms who won’t take their kids to burials because they think it’s “too much for them” so the kids grow up and can’t handle death and then people wonder why! You have obviously raised Max to be a healthy happy and grown up little– I mean big– boy.

]]> Comment on Guppy Killer, Qu’est Que C’est? by Mary Poole http://mindyandmax.com/2010/02/15/guppy-killer-quest-que-cest/#comment-159 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 02:37:41 +0000 http://mindyandmax.wordpress.com/?p=216#comment-159 Oh Mindy mindy mindy. You are not as dorky as all that. My husband has N I N E, (count them NINE) fish tanks. One 28gallon. one 6ft tall octogonal tank. One couch-sized tank. The list goes on and one. Our apartment’s electric bill ( thanks to light/heat for our coral) is the same as the bill for our friend’s 3 story house. Don’t ask me how I tolerate this addiction of Phil’s. I must be an enabler.

But anyway, next time you have questions about your fish consider joining Reef Central online. It’s apparently a great forum that helps Phil support his habit. They talked him through issues with his pregnant clown fish and other nonsense. He says it’s not just for ocean water fish so somebody could probably give you guppy advice.

P.S. Sorry to hear about the fish TB!
