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.

Anyway Mibs, I've rambled on enough, and, yes, I confess that my thoughts are probably not quite ordered, but I just spoke from the heart.
I quite like it down here, and really appreciate your sustaining this thread, and putting up with my oftentimes rather zany sense of humour, which is not always everybodys' cup of tea.
And as we talk, Naomi and Waldo are running around starkers on some nudist beach near to Brighton, and their only problem is making sure that their candyfloss doesn't become entangled in anything ........ that resembles candyfloss!

Well... considering I always imagine Waldo as a frog for some reasons that has raised an interesting mental image!
Theland, you can not take responsibility for the whole world and by trying to what you do is take away fromt he fact that your own wellbeiing is suffering and by ignoring that you weaken the one thing in your life which you need to repair before you can even think of aiding anyone else.
Charity begins at home. Whether you like it or not that is the truth. Home is usually what you see looking in the mirror. You need to work on making that habitable before you try and save the world. And even Jesus couldn't save the world and wanted to know why his father had deserted him.
Look to yourself and then to your own. Everyone else can wait.

I watched a film called the spectre which involved drinking three cups of tea and now I'm a bit antsy so not settled yet.
My uncles aren't muscians, repectively they're a painter and decorator and a professor of law at a university but they both happen to love their music and have something of a colourful past, (what with them and my dad I never question whether I'm adopted!) Anyway, one of them (the painter) is friends with Townsend's (sp?) brother (used Townsends air miles to fly to Florida for his 50th birthday which I tought was pretty cool). He's also got him and my cousin back stage at quite a few gigs so this will be why he was bragging about sitting around chatting with Kasabian Kaiser Chiefs and Razorlight. All this does is make me sick with jealousy as he's old and had his time and I may still be able to pull a rock star and thus be an official groupie!
The other uncle (the lawyer) is a blagger who loves music and has a habbit being able to get in anywhere even if they've sold out. He's also got a bit of a nose for a band and he loves his music so sometimes before a band gets big he gets to see them at smaller gigs. He looses some coolness credentials for liking Genesis. (I like them too but I wouldn't admit it!)
Both get me drunk on a regular basis as they've very cool to sit and chat with over a bottle or several of vino but by virture of the fact they're both several years older than me, slightly pickled and a6ft plus I end up the worse for wear.
My mum used to go to a club where Rick Wakeman (a comedian I think) was popular and dated Jim Diamond (or whichever one wrote hi ho silver which was on the Boon series) and a guitarist from queen (before they were famous) but I don't know which one although I do know it wasn't the one that everyone knows. My dad and one of his brothers used to box with Liam Neeson (actor from Shindlers List).
I'm really quite boring by comparrison!

China, Your eagerness to don that hat of your own volition as though to wear it as a badge of honour is precisely why I am reticent to let you have it and in spite of how smart it looks on you I don't think I could pry it away from Theland if my life depended on it. In fact it seems that my attempts to coax it away from him with reason only act as glue. I suspect it may actually work as an impenetrable shield against the most erudite of rational arguments. Liberating him from that hat it seems would constitute the requirement of a revision of every law of physics, now known or ever to be known.
Theland, Have you ever taken a moment to read your unhappy woeful tales before submitting them? If so I am at a loss as to how you can get through them without saying to yourself, "Well, what do you know; that explains everything!" I could not dream up a better example of why I have chosen the path of reason and looked ahead before leaping to the inevitable consequences of your choices. The WWW owes a great debt to you for sharing your story and speaking for myself, I thank you for reminding me of the reason I chose reason rather than faith to guide my choices, even if to some you make me look like an insensitive clod for saying so by virtue of the extent to which you have victimized your self. As relentless as I may appear to some, you Theland have consistently demonstrated to those seeking to understand why, that you are by far, the master. You have given me cause to venture into previously uncharted territory in the refusal to close my eyes to the painful truth of the consequences of evasion.
I'm not thru yet . . .

I cannot, however, bring myself to twist the knife by saying with complete honesty and sincerity, �To the extent that you make it possible for me to do so, I do love you.� As for you, China, I have reason to believe you are intelligent enough to have a fairly good idea of how much that statement applies to you as well, that it goes without saying, although in your case you may well deserve much more than I could possibly give you. On that one point, if none other, I anticipate complete (if not unanimous) agreement.
Theland, Do not think for a moment that I believe I am any better than you. Although I might, I believe even more so that the complexities of life make such comparisons, on the whole, if not impossible to validate than nonetheless irrelevant. Nevertheless, I live by the motto, judge and prepare to be judged and to hold and be held accountable. Your candor is most admirable if not over the top!

Theland, Although I doubt that you are seeking it, I want you to know I do not feel sorry for you in the least. For one thing, I consider pity the ultimate form of insult. Whether it be from the giver or to the receiver, pity only digs a deeper pit from which escape is made only more difficult. For another, if you were to die tomorrow or yesterday in my estimation you have lived a wonderful life. But if you should choose to tell me to take my estimation and go to hell with it I would completely understand. Regardless, I hope you have a wonderful day!
Good morning Mibs, and once again thank you for taking the time and the trouble to write such an interesting and comprehensive post.
Regarding your final point, no, I would not tell you to take your estimation and go to hell with it, as I value your estimations and opinions, even if at times I feel a bit like Miss Havershams' adapted daughter, (can't remember her name), as Pip rips down the dusty curtains to let the light in.
Yes, maybe a weakness in my character is to sit in the gloom and reject the daylight. I'm taking pills for it.

However, there is a contradiction between reason and feelings, so that a conclusion, arrived at rationally, does not automatically negate the feelings and emotions I feel, however painful at times.
I don't for one minute think that you are cold, or that you really consider yourself personally to be superior in any way, although I do believe that you understand your beliefs to be superior to mine, but that's O.K. as wouldn't life be odious is if we were all the same?

I don't think I have victimised myself, but I do see myself sometimes as a victim of circumstances over which I have no control.
Put simply, I do wish I had more weapons in my armoury with which to do battle, this battle we call, "Life."
There are many casualties in this battle as you know right well, and that has spurred many great men and women to enter the fray and fight on behalf of others, in the battlefields of politics, emancipation, health, education, charity, etc etc, but some of the victims I see are nearer home, and are victims of circumstances, past mistakes, unscrupulous immoral and unethical behaviour from others, and I am not a General in the army, just a private soldier, who is fast running out of bullets.

If I kept a diary, (which I don't), I would maybe confine my ramblings to that, rather than on here, but then this is similar to a diary I suppose, but one that talks back. (I think Pepys would have loved it!)
I suppose that is why I am a bit too candid, or as you say, a bit over the top.
However, it serves a purpose in letting me blow off a bit of steam, like a safety valve, and I do confess to finding AB a bit therapeutic more often than not.
I am not looking for pity, and appreciate you not offering it, but I have written to the best of my limited ability, in such a way to make various points, and by way of illustration.
If my command of English was better, maybe I could write in a more theoretical way, and not feel the need to wear my heart on my sleeve so often, but alas, "what you see is what you get," regrettably at times I suppose, but then that is me, the person, my character if you like.

To the extent that do wear my heart on my sleeve, then what does that say about me?
I think that considering this fact, I am at one extreme completely fearless, and the other, completely stupid, but I think that the truth lies somewhere in between, as although I harbour many fears in my life, allowing people to know more about me is not one of them, I don't think.
I wonder if this is the cyber eqivalent of the psychiatrists couch?

I love talking to you Mibs, and I suspect, that I may be in the rather fortunate position of being in receipt of your respect, despite our obvious differences of opinion in so many areas. I do hope that is the case.
You said you hoped that I would have a wonderful day, and so far, it has been, and I hope it continues to be so even after the pesky postman has been, like blind Pew with his black spot, (but not today I hope!)
And, it's Saint Georges' Day! Now what difference will that make I wonder?
