CPUGuy1:
Brun, Clinton, Elliot - these three are prone to hinder each other into a relationship.  But I'm sure they will be happy with someone, one day.

ouch ... I am sorry for your loss

bhtooefr:
My condolences, Jeph, on your loss.

Tormuse:
I just dropped by to express condolences for your loss, Jeph.  Rest in peace, Shelby.  You were a good doggy.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 05 Apr 2018, 23:20 ---The reason why I say that is because I think that there is a lot of subtext to Brun's innocuous statement: "Clinton... is nice." You could probably write an essay about it but I'll settle for this: That pause makes me think that Brun was struggling to find the right words to express her feelings without saying something that she is worried might be offensive to one of Clinton's family. As the word she eventually used was 'nice', I imagine she was rejecting something like 'attractive' or even 'desirable' (meaning the whole Clinton Augustus package, nobility, honesty and the way he tries to work on her terms as well as being physically attractive to her too).

I didn’t get the impression that she’s thinking about whether she’s being offensive. I get the impression that Brun quite often has trouble putting words in the right order or thinking of the correct word to use. I suspect that’s a big part of the reason she stops talking at all when she gets overly stressed or angry. The words are constantly in disarray in her mind, and the more stressed she is, the harder it is to sort out the mess and spit out a coherent sentence. I have experienced the same problem myself, but for me it was a temporary issue.


She may have been trying to find a word that is so much more descriptive - telling exactly how Clinton is nice (chivalrous, noble, honorable, trustworthy, gracious, generous, caring, etc.) - but couldn’t come up with the one she wanted, so after thinking for a second, she simply settled for “nice”.

It's just pining for the fjords!



My sympathies to Jeph for the loss of Shelby. Losing a member of the family is always hard.
