So, here is my issue. When mail is delivered to my home, the mail carrier delivers it to my door because my box is at the door. Subsequently, over the years, I developed a name basis relationship with my now "former" mail carrier before he was reassigned. He is an extremely nice guy, very personable and chatty, and always has been towards me and I suspect towards most everyone else on his mail route. Over time, I have learned bits about him -- such as -- he is married, he has one teenage son, he likes to run, blah blah blah.
He has not been my mail carrier for the last two years or so. However, recently, he has stopped by on four different ocassions, after work on his way home. On each of these occasions, he stayed for about an hour each time, pleasantly talking about random stuff, nothing suggestive. The last time he was here which was right before Christmas, he invited me to go running with him someday and spontaneously hugged me before he left. Hmmmm ....
If that's all that is going on here, just pleasant friendly discussion, I'm cool with him stopping in to talk. I don't want to assume anything other than he is simply being nice and enjoys talking to me (as apparently does my ex ex boyfriend), but I feel uncertain if this is his only intention. Am I being naive or presumptuous? My instinct has kicked up a question which I can't answer.
What say ye wise men?

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you. Rita Mae
I thought about it, it's not me :)
BTW: That's me with my hand on the girl wearing the pink sweater.

Surrealville ...
How do you know you are really over your ex ex boyfriend.
When he asks you, if you mind if he stops by your house, so that he can get ready to go out to dinner with his new girlfriend, and you say, "no problem," and you mean it. That's probably a really good sign that you are over your ex ex boyfriend.
He comes, he chats, he chats, he chats, and I say, "You really should get ready and go." He says, "But I really enjoy talking to you." I say, "Of course, you do, who doesn't (joking), but you are going to be late, and you can chat with me later." Me, caring that his new girlfriend may be kept waiting. What kind of crazy person am I? A FREE ONE! Yeah!! I am free of those feelings for him! I love when that happens and you can transition to the other side.
He finally stopped chatting and got ready to go out to dinner. Then he plopped himself down beside me on my groovy mid century TV sofa and chatted some more. I was like, "Dude, you really need to go." He said, "This may sound terrible and I know it does, because I am about to go out on a date with someone else, but you and I are going to get back together." I was like, "Whatever boy, no we aren't." He said, "Yes, we are. We get along too well not to be together." I was like, "I get along well with lots of people, and I'm not dating them, so you can get over that idea." He just gave me that smile and I booted him out -- to his dinner date.
How surreal is that?

Just another day in the hood
My ex ex boyfriend just left. He stopped in to help me with an item on my friend's honey do list. The only favors I ever ask of him, are for other people. He is a total sweetie. He was lamenting his present girlfriend woes to me. I am nothing but encouraging and hopeful that his girlfriend's mystery illness is all that is keeping her from responding to him like a girlfriend should. I certainly know how he feels, I am not very needy, but I detest being ignored. If I call my boyfriend (any of the previous ones and the future ones), I really don't expect an extended delay in communication whether that communication be by text, phone, IM, email, body language, smoke signals, or courier pigeon. I'm just sensitive like that, and apparently so is my ex ex boyfriend. He is struggling to be understanding. He is struggling harder not to take her silence personally. I tell him ... she could be working, she could be busy, she could be sleeping, she could be feeling ill (she has some medical issues going on). He logically knows all this, but he says it feels like being on a roller coaster. One week she is all about him, and the next week, she practically falls off the radar screen. I think it helps him deal knowing that her best friend who happens to be a guy, told my ex ex boyfriend, that she has been ignoring his calls and texts as well this week. She probably does have a very good reason for her behavior, but it certainly is hard for my ex ex boyfriend not knowing where he stands. I personally think she could be more sensitive about his feelings. I mean, granted she may be sick, but she entered into this relationship with that issue, and she could at least quickly pick up the phone and tell him she isn't feeling well, or whatever her reason is. But hey, that's just my humble and emphasizing opinion. Did I mention, that I hate being ignored by someone who says they love me?

These ominous words standing on their own WITHOUT fail annoy the snot out of me:
"Can you do me a favor, a BIG favor?"
What the *@%$ ? Seriously, are they hoping to hear, "OMG, I WOULD LOVE TO DO YOU A BIG FAVOR, NO MATTER WHAT IT IS."

The Universe, "Hey, I tried to push her over the edge with that new drum set next door, but she found some crazy Mantra to help her through that annoyance. So, I had to push another button that I know will jerk her chain. I know she hates litter almost as much as she hates public speaking, so I made sure her whole street was perfectly free of debris except for one trickster! I placed a perfectly jaunty tin can (emptied of its Vienna sausages) directly in the street in front of her beautiful brick walkway just to greet her good morning and watch the smoke come out of her ears! She's right, the litter is always right in front of her house, simply because I like to push her buttons... heh heh. It's so fun to watch, she's such an easy target. She turns a bright shade of red and she spits nails! It's great!"
