DR RonP, I have a feeling that if you talk to this woman you will hurt her feelings. She is probably sensitive and I think she will be hurt.

I sort of liked the idea about having another co-worker casually mention that you've talked to them many times about how you like your walks alone to reflect. Maybe they could even add an "but i'll bet he's too nice to say anything to you."

I suppose there is no way that you would consider walking with her occasionally. That might be a lot easier for her (if you mentioned that you would be happy to walk with her once or twice a week but that the rest of the time you use to think/reflect).

Or perhaps you could mention that you powerwalk and hope it won't be too fast for her.

Good luck.

Yeah, what HE said!

You can fart and belch and vomit on the ground.

That'll show her!  :)

Yes, as does anyone familiar with the logic behind the 50's Duck and Cover drills.

Dear BK,

Which of the CDs has Guy Haines singing "I Love Fish" on it? Would you reserve one of those for me?

I wish I could buy lots of CDs, but the house repair bills... oy!

Just had a nicer than nice conversation with muse Margaret.  She loved the pages, and only had three little comments, all of which are easy as pie to do - I have to add a couple of lines in one section, change one verb, and add one little detail and that's that.  She liked my first ending (as did I) rather than the alternate, so that's done, too.

VERY happy!

Think maybe some of that bone crunching in CANNIBAL contributed to your problem?

That's entirely possible. ::)

Did your video of Anna Russell ever arrive from Amazon?

Yes...but I've not yet watched it.

What to do?  What to do?  

I find myself in a curious situation.  One of my co-workers has decided that she is going to be part of my daily walks around the lake.

I've not invited her to join me.  I've not voiced any interest in being accompanied.  I've not blessed her vocalizations on the topic in any way.

Today she let me know she has brought in her "walking shoes" in anticipation of "our" walks.  She has even gone so far as to establish a set time for each walk.

However do I tell her I don't wish to walk with her?  This co-worker has a history of trying to ingratiate herself to folks and insertig herself into facets of their lives.  

I don't want to hurt any feelings, but....NO!

Ron, maybe you could write to Dear Abby, and if your letter is printed, clip it out of the paper or print it from the website and give it to your co-worker when she isn't looking. :D

I think Ron already established her reputation for being pushy.

Why should we be concerned that speaking frankly might hurt her feelings - maybe they need some waking up!

And the "walk with her sometimes" is a complete wimp-out!

I will now return to my job advising Karl on Foreign Policy.

Posting an edited version of these posts might help ;D

After reading some of our more genteel suggestions, she might greet Ron's polite "Thank-you, no" with relief.

If someone has the AUDACITY to inflict themselves on your personal time without invitation, they DESERVE to have their feelings hurt. I really try to be respectful of people's feelings, but when you're being put upon through no fault of your own, I think you can say "no thanks" kindly, and if that hurts someone's feelings, well, they asked for it.

I spent the time fixing and eating lunch watching the remainder of EASTER PARADE and then restarted the movie to hear the comentary between Garland expert John Fricke and Ava Astaire. I'd heard it before, but I had forgotten portions of it, and it was pleasurable hearing it again. I got about halfway through the film for the second time before I switched to something else.

DR Musicguy and BK, I remain open on the 24th as well.

I believe that DR Adriana Patti and DR Cason will be in attendance as well....I wonder if DR Karen has decided to join us? What a partay that would be!

I'm working on it, so hope to make the West Coast singdaw, I mean, shindig (all those Naomi musings today just made the letters transpose in my mind...)...
