Since Naomi will not give me the ****ing key I have decided to follow Jesus and be a Christian just like Theland. I am ashamed of my past history here so I'm going to devote the time I used to spend on ab to reading the Bible. No question really because I no longer care about what people think. I'll get all my answers from God from now on thank you.

....... and tonight I feel like I am on a high! Is that strange or what? I wish this mood would last. I haven't felt so lighthearted in God knows how long. Totally weird when most days, I'm like a Leonard Cohen record!
(But I really do love Leonard Cohen. Suzanne, Sisters Of Mercy, two of my favourites.)

Oh good! I am pleased you did it, I really think it's a good start. I don't think they'll be too worried about your mental health history and frankly, have you seen some of the staff that work there? You're very likely to be considered one of the more happy go lucky members! Or at least you might have an idea of what an avocardo is... I'm not kidding, I had to tell someone at the till what it was.
I'm not too sure about your example, it has nothing to do with what I'm saying. Yes, you can weather storms and all that sort of thing in a relationship but I think I'm saying that to get to that stage (and age), that kind of love is based on loving yourself as well as the other person. It's only through that that you can appreciate that you deserve the love you're getting and indeed give the love back.
Yes to the drug question. And I have no regrets or shame about it. I had a really good time, a few great experiences and grew out of it. I didn't have any mind boggling revelations and I don't think I experienced or learnt anything that I wouldn't have been able to figure out myself but like I said, I had a nice time. I still on occasion and in the correct social settiing do indulge in the odd joint and enjoy it. To me it's much the same as having a drink.
I'll keep an eye on it and if it gets worse I'll go to the quacks.

Theland, The way things are goin' there may be
some other records broken here before this is thru.
You don�t need to splain to me about love that defies reason. That�s the kind that has lead me more than once to near death experiences and why my devotion to reason is more than a hobby with me.
Off the top of my head I can think of a cause as well as an effect of the inexplicable �self-sacrifice� you qualify as love.
1. You are hiding from yourself the underlying justification for your �sacrificial offering of love�, (you are in da Nile about the vary valid reasons you have for doing what you do, describing as sacrifice what is actually providing a mutually beneficial result if you think about it).
Let me make clear that I do not consider obtaining the satisfaction one deserves for owning up to their responsibilities, a sacrifice.
2. Your offering of love goes unappreciated in which case it is indeed a sacrifice of love on the alter of indifference, (which is often the case when we attempt to accrue points with �the great score keeper above�) This is as much a sin of the one making the sacrifice as of the indifference of the one to whom the sacrifice is being made. Make no mistake about it!
These are only two examples of what is simply pretzel logic leading to a twisted view of reality. There�s probably little point in me offering you pretzel sticks at this point because you are obviously head over hills in love with the heart shaped variety.
My heart goes out to you Theland, it really does because the benefits produced by the hard work you have done is an honorable gift which can only be appreciated by and should only be given to others like yourself who have earned it.

Mibs, I am quickly running out of energy and resources to keep my family ticking over. Thay can all have whatever I have got, whether it be time or money, (quicly diminishing), but it is not enough.
Fate has dealt my family a crap hand, and despite hard work and enterprise, (only me and my disabled son receive benefits), we are all having a hard time, and I search for hope, and only find it in my belief in God.
I don't think those I help are indifferent, in fact they are rather proud, and don't come running for help willy nilly.

Tonight I made sandwiches for my daughter, to take to nursing college, as I learned that today she had nothing to eat there. That upsets me. I sent money and some food also, and tomorrow morning I will be baby sitting to allow her and her husband to get about their business, trying to earn a living and being ripped off by high rent from an unscrupulous landlord, and it creases me.
No, they are not indifferent, but like a drowning man, they clutch at even a straw, but I am fast running out of straws to throw them.
And what about my three grandkids, (and another on the way), who know nothing about earning anything, (ages six, four and one), who only recognise their own needs and look to their parents, and me, to meet those needs?
The world does not owe me or my family a living, and we don't take unnecessary handouts, (I hope to be working again soon), but I fail to see how I obtain a "mutually beneficient result," from the sacrifices I and my wife make.
In fact, it upsets me that at least one of my favourite charities, is devoid of my contribution, as I no longer have anything to give. (and they keep writing to me to try and save another babys' life, so I have THAT guilt to live with.)
Am I a bad person?
I try not to be, but sometimes my beliefs are held as responsible for all manner of the worlds' evils. I do try NOT to contribute to the worlds' evils, although in the past, I have certainly hurt many many people much to my regret.

I do not try to, "accrue points with the great score keeper above," but simply got through my life with the terrible knowledge that if I had more, I could do more, but what little I have to give has to be spread so thin, that there is always a need for more that I cannot fulfill.
I talk by e mail to a person I met on AB who is in dire straits.
Oh how I would love to help this suffering person, both materially and psychologically, but I lack the resource to do either, apart from offering a kind word and the promise of hope in the future. That person is not indifferent, but appreciates me taking the time and trouble to listen and offer a kind word, and I do try.
(I wouldn't mind inviting this person doen here to the crypt for a bit of therapy from China Doll, she always seems to hit the right tone, and of course we both love her ....).
