Occam’s Razor Burn

LOL!!
yep, I like Keep It Simple, Stud. Don’t know how well that would work for me. Oh, I know: Keep It Simple Sister. Yep, that works.

I like your list. People maintain their lives every day. Wash dishes, do laundry, make the bed.

But wait! Even fairly successful people don’t always keep up with that stuff. I almost never make my bed. I figure Why bother? I’m just going to get in it again. I’ll make it when I wash the sheets, but rarely any other time. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m not always good about keeping my dishes or laundry house cleaning in good order. But overall I’m ok.

And you have done a lot today. Hang on to that.

Er, call me crazy, but I could have sworn it was just “Keep it Simple.” Ain’t no reason to add the “stupid,” any more that it is to qualify emotional statments as “dumb.” When I hear “if I go out, I’ll never come back” what I hear is someone trying to create a boundary, to warn himself that the stakes are very high, that to pick up could mean his life. I think it’s a far healthier observation than the one is which someone rationalizes picking up by saying “I can always get sober again.” That might be true, but it’s far dumber, because it treats a very serious disease cavalierly.

Ok, I’m laughing out loud. Yes, you can have keep it simple, studly — but only if you do my dishes, take out my trash and do my laundry!

Having a heathy relationship with yoursef is so much more rewarding than having a relationship with someone else Chris. All the time and energy you put into that, blah, blah, blah, your own crap is so much more rewarding. Can you tell I’m feeling a bit hostile toward relationsahips outside ones self? Changing your sheets and hopping into that crisp clean bed, my god is there anything better than that!!!! To me that is like heaven on earth with a 400 count thread sheet!!!! (A bit lonely sometimes, but rewarding non the less.) So I’ll tell you what, you have enough. You have exactly what you need for you right now. You have a life within your walls. So keep it simple, I won’t say “stupid”. Simplisity is a good thing! Or as Garth would say, stupid is as stupid does, or something like that!

In my dailey affirmations for “acco” I read, “I know where I’m going and I put my energy to good use. I focus my attention on what needs to be done now, and I do it well, rather than indulging in a varity of activities and doing nothing well.
Balance and self discpline are the key words today.

I’m all for the new KISS - my BF will love it too!

I guess I read it a certain way in conjunction with the “Dumbest Things I’ve Heard in Meetings.” One’s affectionate, one, not so much.
