We had a really good conversation on the call about our personal rules - implicit, explicit, evolving. It would be great if you would join us for the next call on September 13th, 11am PDT. Holler if you need the info. Grace knows it too. I deeply appreciate people different than me with whom I can discuss difficult things. I'm realizing that I do expect them to help me and maybe I need to do more of that enabling myself. In other words, having strategies for those without three rules. In my ideal world, we would grant each other that gift. Alas, we aren't there yet. Thanks for sharing your rules.

However, I will snatch them up as I, a woman of a certain age, must grab the accolades where I can. You will be missed during the call, but please be assured that I will present your Three General Rules. I'm a big believer in criteria, bullet pointed items, checklists, mnemonics to keep in mind during discussions/debates. Clearly it worked like a charm with you and the Corporal. Perhaps during these teleconferences a blogger's pledge for civilized discourse can be drafted and proposed to the larger community. Kind Readers of The Shack, feel free to join in on the teleconference. Just follow the links in this post to my blog. Once there, you'll find yourself in Liberal Land, but not only do I not bite or snarl, you can pull up a chair and I'll get the pot...of coffee going. Sorry. Couldn't resist.
