Really!
How often do we really get out to lunch (with a cocktail)??
I find on those occasions that I order every course offered and take home food for three days...
Give me a Puca! <up high, down low>
And now I want a stuffed shrimp on a skewer... I'll have what BunnyMom is having - make it a double wine!! Heh!! Puca |

I know this is part of the Soap Opera, but I keep thinking Pat is
just a doofus not to see through the 'Delia Show'.
For cripes sake, can't he take a pill or control his body
part (brain?), he's a doctor with full access to the IKEA drug
cabinet;0
Puca;)

Pat's suffering from an excess of empathy for Delia mixed with the attraction. It may be a soap, but he is hardly the only man, or woman for that matter, to be determined to save an attractive neurotic. Pat sees what is wrong, but instead of getting away from Dee he feels compelled to help her. There is no pill for that.

No, unfortunately, Empathic Excess has no cure, and Pat has quite possibly the worst case known to mankind. He needs an EE support group before it's too late.

I don't have an Oxford English on hand, but my dictionary lists empathic and empathetic as correct.

Well, I'm taking the compliment. Thanks, Debbie! I can always count on my friends here to give me a kind word after an especially trying day. As far as I'm concerned, you saved the day for me. :0)
I love the idea of "People Who Love Too Much." I can see Pat's face on the cover of the book he would write about his experiences. Faith could do the introduction. I wonder if he would use real names or come up with pseudonyms to protect the innocent. Hmmm......I'll have to think about that.

He could go on Oprah and Dr. Phil. He could get a home makeover from Nate because of what he has been through. He could be a TV movie. Or a soap opera story line. ::)LOL.

He might even become the hero of his own line of romance novels. The Irish Rogue. The Dancing Doctor. The Irish Bumblebee. Celtic Curls.

Kate Mulgrew played the compromised Irish matriarch in the last <3> episodes.
Didn't KM play another (challenged), strong damsel on a recent critically acclaimed, yet cancelled TV series? |

I don't have an Oxford English on hand, but my dictionary lists empathic and empathetic as correct.
I'm not swayed, by the way, by the argument that once the definition has been changed, the original "right" and "wrong" don't matter anymore. I'm sure that all of us, in our fields, have experience with eroding standards, and I doubt that we salute them. We may have to put up with them, but we don't salute them.
My field is language, and I salute those who use it correctly. I saluted Forte, and will take the opportunity to do so again. Well done! |
