do you agree with that last statement?  i think in general that if more people asked for what they want in a relationship, they’d probably actually get it.  as i’ve learned though, there’s this chicken and the eggs dilemma.  if you ask for it, does it still mean as much?  or because you had to ask for it, now it doesn’t count?  i think i’ll acknowledge that it may not mean as much, but surely it still means something, otherwise, why did you want it to begin with?!  logically, i would think having something (even though it didn’t mean as much as you thought) is better than having nothing at all.

apparently that first panel was a lot tougher than i thought.  i guess i need to re-double my effort in paying attention to the details and really establishing that setting shot.  i’m just saying, in retrospect and getting some feedback, i could’ve done more than just have a sales counter.  there’s always next time!
