Again, I'll comment here instead of a `reply` below to _ KylaraKuhn.

IF we were Stuck with asking for one or the other; Simple, true honesty... or `Honoring ones Privacy` (and keeping ones mouth shut)

Brittany U. J. .... Either we share of ourselves, And then get judged for it, or, we Choose to keep something private, And, well, whats that all called?

First, I believe (well, I'll believe it anyway) I can lay some of this at my sister's feet, as she Still has a history of not editing what she says, like If something happened or not. Like if its a truth or fabrication. Some of the whoppers she has told... I digress.

Ally and Lisa took months of time online to connect, to learn, to accept. With us?? All I remember is that Last date. It was a festival on the other side of the state. I got us home, I got out, went to her door and let her out. All under a nice, warm, sunny afternoon, all the while thinking 'good step, hitman'.

Damn, just realized what I'm seeing on the screen, and that name. Well, SFC Gerlach stuck me with that when I was stationed out at Schofield Barracks way back when.

So, I'm thinking I've shared of myself something we could come to use as something more......

And she stops... turns to look up at me.... "I'd prefer to not see you again. I just don't see us together, at all. Goodbye."

And she went inside.

I got in the car and left. I had been dismissed, yes? so what else was supposed to happen?

I also didn't look back. That was 14 Sept, 2002.

I debated whether or not to write something like this under `10/10 would solo again!`, but the 4 other times coming across it there (and at the end of `no more petals...`) I just got up and walked around the place for a bit.

I really wonder what will hurt More?; rereading through to the end of V4, and Ally finding the note, or when I finally have V5 In Hand, and I hit That Grand Canyon, and Ally has kicked her out?
