Pinedale Pudding

This post is past due - it should have been posted by Tuesday of last, but it didn't make it.

I was hooked on someone - have had an attraction with a fella that appears to be successful.*  It appears that he is just a player, at the moment.**

And in the middle of Tuesday, reeling backwards after realizing that Pudding has no life, thanks to a discussion with my best girlfriend, something another friend once said, came across my mind "If God SHUT the door, LEAVE IT SHUT."

When in my reeling, my best girlfriend said, "Ya, you have a problem with that door.  You get out your hammer and start taking out nails and then remember that God SHUT the door so tightly He put nails in it. You need to stop that."

*I then said, I don't even know if Pinedale is what he says he is.  People (and I should have learned this BY NOW) say all sorts of things online and are they really true?  One guy "smokes occassionally" turned into pretty much regularly; his social drinking really is "I get drunk and turn into an asshole." 

I have another person in my life right now that appears "successful" on the outside, however their life really is a mess.  They are very co-dependent.

I went on to say that as far as I know, he is just a pretty picture.

She responded with "That is what I just said.  A man is lucky if you give him attention.  You are complete.  A man simply gives you the chance to save another of God's creatures...lol...just kidding.  We are human and humans need to be around other humans.  However we can survive just fine on our own."

 She went onto say "the proof is in the pudding and right now he is just the pretty box the pudding comes in.  Don't even know if the box is empty." (LOL)

**And until he makes much MUCH more of an attempt to get my attention, he's stuck in the box.
