The misunderstanding option works by way of a let-it-go when I was also a total fricking jerk.

(I'm not sure a puppy email would be entirely sufficient. But in most normal situations, it'd go a long way.)

[pjthompson]

Sad puppies are pretty hard to resist. :-)

[pjthompson]

Yeah, the forgiveness thing is golden.

When is a lame duck not a lame duck? When he/she/it's a goose!

[pjthompson]

Very true!

I don't understand why there's any option for the first question. Surely bloodletting is all that's necessary. Reasonable minds could not disagree on this point.

When is a lame duck not a lame duck?

When he's the Son of Satan.

[pjthompson]

Reasonable minds could not disagree on this point.

Not everyone is as reasonable as you and I. I left off the thumb screws and the rack because I thought it might make folks too squeamish.

When he's the Son of Satan.

I didn't realize George Herbert Walker was Satan. Or is Barbara more interesting than I thought?

The first one-- the apology-- without "I'll never do it again." Never being a jerk again is beyond the abilities of any of us mere mortals, and I'd think something was pretty wrong with the S.O. or with the relationship if it were promised.

[pjthompson]

Okay.

[handworn.livejournal.com]

I wasn't accusing you of thinking you weren't one of us mere mortals, by the way. Just thought I should clarify. :-)

[pjthompson]

No, I didn't think that.

Under "other", as a significant apology, I'd have to go for "huge alimony check". ;)

[pjthompson]

Yes! Maybe that's covered under lawyers?

My 'other' for the second question is "When Congress still acts like he has clout."

[pjthompson]

They aren't particularly, but he's still acting like he has it. And he still does control the Armed Forces. That scares the peewaddle out of me.

[kmkibble75.livejournal.com]

I think you're right in regard to the House, but the 'pubs in the Senate are still falling in line as asked. That makes me question their collective intellect.

The Armed Forces thing definitely scares the crap out of me. I've never thought I'd actually look forward to a coup if necessary...

[pjthompson]

It scares the crap out of most of the military, too, I think.
