Heavenletter #5069 Moods Are Moody. Go by God.

Posted September 6th, 2014 by Luus

Dear Gloria,

I can't find "slippery-slidey" in the thefreedictionary.com, and especially "slidey"

There is no need for you to cooperate with moods. They are chameleons. They simply cannot be taken at their word. Moods are slippery-slidey things.

When searching for "slidey" the Urban dictionary gives the following explanation:
slidey

Thanks.
Luus

Some years back Paul Simon had a song called "Slip Sliding Away". His lyrics don't always make logical sense but the line was something like "the nearer your destination, the more you're slip sliding away." Gloria's solution is a good one.
