Are you being sarcastic? I don't know you well enough to tell. :)

I look at her and the visual of her trying to exercise or dress herself (bending over to tie shoes, for example) or do anything other than breathing and sitting is sadly comical. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing.

~*~ The Importance Of A Helmet ~*~


Just wanted to share a news piece.
It is a little long but very important.

The cops were traveling down the highway at around 1 o'clock
in the morning near Tulsa, Oklahoma.

They found this on the road.

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/born2bdiffrient/UNBELIEV1.jpg

Another patrol car stopped a truck some miles down the
highway and were struck with the following image.

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/born2bdiffrient/UNBELIEV2.jpg

The Truck Driver said he thought he felt the impact, but it took
him almost 4 miles down the road before he thought he'd better
pull over and check out his rig.

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/born2bdiffrient/UNBELIEV3.jpg

Notice the driver has no shoes on from the impact or from
being drug all that distance. Ouch!

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/born2bdiffrient/UNBELIEV4.jpg

Side view of Motorcycle Driver caught up in the trailer of the semi.

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h184/born2bdiffrient/UNBELIEV5.jpg

Witnesses and State Police say the Motorcyclist was traveling at 120 mph when he ran into the back of the moving semi-truck.

It pays to have a good quality helmet when riding a motorcycle,

Now for the rest of the story!

THIS GUY SURVIVED.

:::Smiles::: Gemme, I'm serious. I don't know if she paid for them or grew them but she either 1. Got born with them and left it at that or 2. Wanted to have extra jumbo melons.

Either way, they are hers and that makes them perfect. I've yet to run across a pair of breasts that I couldn't really- really enjoy. One way or another. I know exactly what I'd do with those big bad gurls.

i have a pal right here in Hippieville carrying around some some 38HH's. she's barely 5'2" and she's uncomfortable most of the time. she recently had surgery to fix damage to her spine done by the weight of her breasts. at 51 years old she's finally got proof for her insurance company that breast reduction is "medically necessary".

the sammich thingy is gross. the human being is not.

my daughter had a similar thing happen to her, BBM. She started dating the music director. (I wont go into the age difference...but I will say I think he played/preyed on her emotionally.) She loved that church, found such a sense of fellowship there. Well, it was an ugly break up (gee...he was married!) (oh and he had ANOTHER GF!) and now, my daughter who use to sing in the choir, do solos at all the main celebrations, and was a Sunday School teacher, now cant go back to the church she so loves. It even affected her relationship with her step mom and step dad. Neither of them will talk to her because of him. She somehow, became the enemy instead of the victim.

Its really not a good thing to mix relationships, especially early ones, with your place of worship and your family (especially kids). I am hoping as my daughter heals, she will find a new church. Her situation is so much more involved than yours, BBM, but it has the same effect.

If I were in your shoes I would go back to the church...and ignore her.

As for my daughter, she is graduating from college right now and doesnt need additional stress on her. But after May 15th, Momma is gonna go sit in that churches pews...right behind him... :asswhip:

On my mind :

I had met a girl that I introduced to my church. Since she really wanted to find a church home. After a few dates she becamse obsessed with me I wasnt interested anymore. She continues to go to that church. I love that church. Wondering if I will ever be able to go there again. Kinda disappointed about not being able to go for months now. I detest drama. And dont want it there when Im trying to worship.

She is planning on reduction surgery as soon as she can afford the time off from work. She is a nurse to boot...so imagine carrying those things around for 13 hours a day....

Cardinal Bertone (the Vatican's Secretary of State) said the following:

"Many psychologists and psychiatrists have demonstrated that there is no relation between celibacy and pedophilia. But many others have demonstrated, I have been told recently, that there is a relation between homosexuality and pedophilia. That is true," said Bertone. "That is the problem."

So you disagree with the quality of her breasts. I get that. Did you agree or disagree with my other subtle points about publicly ridiculing what some women may be born with? That being really large breasts. That was point one I was making.

Point two was if she was compelled to purchase those breasts, it would be somewhat irrelevent since she now has them.

Point three was my theme: Ain't none of us air brushed beauties in reality.

I agree that people are regularly ridiculed for the way they are born. Our community here knows more about that than most, I believe.

Yes, it's true that it's too late for any difference to be made by anyone else if she's happy with her boob job. And, yes, you are correct. No one is perfect.

My issue...and if you are going to work to procure breasts that large and then go on a talk show (Stern, right?), then you need to be ready for criticism whether it be positive or negative anyway....was solely regarding her quality of LIFE.

As a free grown woman, she's free to do that to her body if she sees fit to, but how does she LIVE? How does she do the day to day functions without an enormous amount of pain due to the stress put on her neck, shoulders, back and spine by those extra jumbo melons'? I physically hurt at the idea of that.

I've been thinking a lot about my little boy, Charlie.
I lost my little black boy two years ago, and I miss that little booger more than anything. He was my first all-black cat, and he was the sweetest, gentlest, even tempered puss ever. He had his mischievous moments, but he had a personality that even most humans could learn from. *sigh*

At some point, we're going to adopt kittens.

Top Ten Reasons to Adopt a Black Cat

9. You can always find them in the snow.
8. Holding a black cat is very slimming.
7. Black cats will match any decor.
6. A lint brush isn't required for a black-tie affair.
5. When you love a black cat, luck is on your side.
4. Black cats are like onyx, a beautiful gem.
3. Hey, they don't care what color you are!
2. Love knows no color.

Black cats are the sweetest! I think they're little panthers in disguise. :)

I did have another black kitty for a short while before I adopted Charlie - her name was Ebony (although, she had some white on her chest and paws, and was more like a tuxedo and not completely black) - I didn't have her with me very long - :( ..... but ..... she was another one with an amazing personality. She was the first cat to ever expose me to "cat-fetch". I find black cats to be much more intelligent than given credit for.

It's one of those words in which the meaning can change with the usage. For example...those onions were hella hot...or those onions were hella good....or those onions were hella nasty. You'll have to read the rest of the post to determine context.

Actually, I am back at the trailer staying the night. My back is out again...and I am on pain meds and my friend Jean is coming by to look in on me and take the dog for walks. My family came and moved alot of my outdoor stuff tonight. Tomorrow they will hopefully get the furniture in the house too. I am medicated and comfortable and there is an end to this problematic day coming soon. The good of it all is that I am almost moved into the lovely Rose Cottage and I have found out i have wonderful family and friends who are there to help me when I need them. I am not so anxious anymore.

I loved your idea...I wll try a hot shower tonight...I cant lay down in the tub with my back like this...but the hot steam of a hard shower will do my back muscles wonderfully well. Thanks for the kind suggestion...

Do you have time for a nice warm bath? It would help ease the tension some.

What is on my mind right now...

A mix of emotions. My brother is being released from prison today, after almost 8 months. He has been an addict for his entire adult life (20+ years hardcore). In my heart I know that him being locked up this time, saved his life.

Part of me is happy that he is starting over with a fresh, clean slate. But the other part of me worries that he is going to relapse. Worrying about his lying, stealing, & keeping my parents in constant fear, are some of the many things that I can't seem to shake off. Not to mention, the fear of losing him forever to his addiction.

All I can do is try my best to think positive and say a little prayer.

This is so healthy, babygirl, to keep it in perspective like this. Remember that whole "things that you can change, things you can't, and knowing the difference...."
Addiction is a scary thing and I hope for him and for your family that he can stay on the road to sobriety.

Much love.

Sweetie..

Let me tell you about my baby brother..

He is 38 yrs old and since he was 13 he has been in and out of trouble..

He has done state time twice and been in local lock up more times that I can remember..

He has a history of rage and violence.. and unfortunately is a big boy who has never lost a fight.. (well.. except the time he knocked me over a chair and I came back at him with 3inch nails.. I say I won that one, cause I only had a lil black eye and he had nail marks from his cheek to his chest.. in august... in missouri... sweat much?)

He stole,lied,wrecked EVERY car my mother has had, made my parents life a hell.. (My dad still hides his wallet, and my mom keeps her purse next to her always)

He's an alcoholic and a drug addict.. I wrote him off because I will not submit myself to his behavior...

Two years ago he came in drunk and hit my 87 lb mother.. Hit her so hard that she hit the wall... He didn't remember any of it..

That was the last drink he had... He's clean two years... No more trouble with the law.. He is working pretty damn hard to change habits of a life time... He still is pretty much of an imature asshole in my mind.. but he is trying..

One interesting fact is... about 8 months ago he was diagnosed as Bi-Polar.. He says that the meds his is on make the world a different place...

Anyway.. The entire reason I'm telling you this is... Change can happen.. I understand the fear, the distrust, the disbelieving... I can also understand that hope that this time it's going to be different..

And sometimes.. sometimes... this time is different..

Tonya,

My older sister is an addict. She learned, like all addicts do, how to lie, cheat, and steal for a hit. But at some point they hit rock bottom and change or something or someone comes into their life and they want to change for the better. I am hoping and praying that your brother changed while in prison. My sister...no. She is playing a game with a therapist now. Her husband & kids know it. I think when she looses everything, that is when reality will hit her in the face. But then again, who knows. I just pray for her. That is all I can do. If I can be of any comfort or support to you, please pm me. I understand.

Peace be with you,
Andrew

sometimes this thread just opens up my internal thought valves.

my mind lately is always on 10 or 12 different things.

i am thinking about my work. i love my job, but i know i need to go back to school to keep going. i am very quickly leaning towards a degree in special education. there is so much i can do, such an impact to be made on these amazing children. but then the question becomes school. i cant go to school here. there isn't a college within commuting distance that offers the programs needed. if i move, i have two choices. leave my children here with their grandparents, or try and do it all on my own. a single mother working full time, going to school full time and trying to raise two children, one with autism. that just doesn't seem fair to them, not if i have any other options. i hate to leave them again though. i let their father take them when i was in school before. i got the credits needed to start working at the schools and got them back. can i really do that again? go back to being a weekend mom? its a lot to think about, and i have about a year to decide.

next is money, of course, money is always there. i have a ticket to pay off. that is becoming my number one priority as of my next paycheck. no more extras. pay the bills, cover the kids, buy my morning coffee. no more. period. i need my license back and my car up and running. being able to dive where i want, when i want has become increasingly more important. there are certain things in my life that i can not leave at the mercy of others. small and important people that i need to be able to see much more often.

my music is there, and also weighing heavy on my mind. i am writing again. and i have learned a few things about myself. the first one is i have really not given myself credit enough for my talent. i really can sit down and write a song in a week. im a lyricist. i write words and melodies. the second thing i learned is that i am a project writer. i have been very hard on myself in the past for the dry spells i sometimes go through. but i realized this last week its not that i cant write, its just that i didn't have a reason. when someone comes to me out of the blue and asks for my help, armed with their ideas, i can write anything.

also on my mind right now is friendship. i listen to people define friendship to me. each persons definition is different. and i hold each of my friends accountable to their own personal ideas of friendship. however, i have one friend in particular right now who i feel is not meeting their own expectations of being my friend. i know how important friends are to this person. i know many of their friends, and some of them i hope, consider me a friend as well. why then is it that i am being so neglected? they haven't finished a conversation with me in a week, they seldom answer my txts and have not answered my phone calls. when i gauge this behavior with what they have told me about friendship, i am very sadly forced to admit that maybe possibly, they don't want to be my friend at all. that hurts. more then everything else that has happened, that hurts me. i hope this is not the case, and that something else is going on, but whatever is going on, a friends who swore they did not want to cause me any more pain, is doing just that. hurting me even worse then in the past by ignoring and neglecting our friendship.

You can adopt ho-mance for yourself, but it's been in action for a very long time already. Think The Hills, Desperate Housewives, most reality TV shows with girls with more plastic in them than principles, and of course, the movie that began it all, Pretty Woman. :blink:

Today is the 15th anniversary of the Murrah Federal Building bombing in Oklahoma City. I lived in OK at the time. I remember being in class that morning when the blast happened. The streets were eerily vacant in Norman, OK, just a few miles south of OKC. Little did I know at the time until I saw a tv how tragic it was. It was beyond my comprehension what had occurred that day. Remember the 168 men, women, and children who died that day.

If the person could do that to you, then they never really knew how to be a friend in the first place BBM. I spent years dealing with my oldest brother's homophobia that when my mom died, it gave me the perfect opportunity to stop talking to him. That was almost 10 years ago and it doesn't bother me at all. I learned I first have to be true to me and not worry what others think.

One thing that's been on my mind for the longest is that I wish internet dating/personals sites were more specific - along the lines of eHarmony (which does't accept queers, btw).

Today I subscribed to Yahoo! Personals, and while perusing the 'eligibles', noticed that most of the women they match me up with are very feminine-looking. Butches are a scarcity on these sites - one has to look long and hard to find someone that 'remotely' sounds like they're butch.

My gripe is that they should be more tailored so one can convey exactly what one is looking for. It seems a given, but duh...no, seems they don't think there's a problem. If you're a woman, well ANY person born with a vagina is a prospective match. Well, perhaps that's true in some circles, and that's fine - I'm not making judgements here. But, golly, gee-wiz, all they care about is making money - not so much so in matching compatibles...

Ok, maybe this is the wrong thread for this - the 'rant' thread perhaps? Anyway, I just wanted to put this out and see if there are others who feel the same way. It's been my hope that maybe the Planet could start a dating service for our community. We, most of us, I'm sure know what we want/desire/need in a relationship. I would think that would be the next - admins, what say you? I'm sure most of us would be happy to pay a reasonable subs fee for this service. But I'm speaking for myself, obviously. I'm wondering how many others would be in favor of such a service, tailored along the lines of eHarmony? Let your voices/opinions be heard - whether nay, or yay.

If you're interested in the recipe, let me know. It's super easy, and so satisfying when you make it from 'scratch' (well, sort of - I cheated on the crust - bought frozen Pillsbury pie crust.) :)

Lol, not in this case, but I'll be happy to share the recipe.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
1 9" glass, or metal pie pan

Rustic Apple Tart

Ingredients
2 large apples - 1 tart (Granny Smith), & 1 sweet (Golden Delicious) cored, peeled, and thinly sliced

1/2 cup of washed, shucked, sliced strawberries (or a ripe but firm peach, or pear, whichever you like)

1/2 cup of raisins

Juice of one fresh lemon (don't use that bottled stuff, it sucks!) - remove seeds

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup of lt. brown sugar

1/2 cup of flour

1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

1/4 cup (1/2 a stick) of softened sweet butter (don't try softening it in the microwave - leave on counter overnight to soften)

Pillsbury frozen pie crust - get the kind that comes in sheets rolled up. Defrost by putting in lowest shelf of fridge overnight.

Prep
Toss together fruit, lemon, granulated sugar. Set aside.

Place all remaining ingredients except pie crust in mixer bowl. Mix with electric mixer (or by hand) until mix is crumbly. Set aside.

Roll pastry out flat. Transfer to pie plate, leaving about a 2" overlap. (The overlap will be folded over the fruit later.)

Gently mound fruit mixture onto pie crust, leaving a 2" border on all sides.

Sprinkle crumb mixture on top of fruit. Fold pastry up over filling, pleating as necessary to fit snugly around fruit. Gently press dough to filling, reinforcing shape.

Brush pastry with egg wash: beat one egg & 2 tablespoons of milk together. Brush this mixture on dough only.

Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes - keep an eye on it.

Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool. Can be served warm w/ice cream...

Give this recipe a try. It sounds more complicated then it really is, and you'll love the results - enjoy!! If you do try this, I'd love to hear your comments.

She has a beef against this person because of bad blood... They broke off a relationship with one of her friends... She told me their opinions and I that she didn't think this person was a very good person. I said thank you for her opinion and that I would be cautious, but that we were only talking right now.

I have been friends with her for almost three years, and I am appalled at what happened next. My friend confronted the person I am talking to and threatened them, then continued to badger me about this person. Insisting that no matter what this person was only out to hurt me.

I have a right to form my own opinions about people, and no matter what you "know" about someone elses relationship and breakup... You DO NOT have all the facts and it probably didn't play out how you think.

This friend is not the person I thought she was if she is really willing to alienate me for befriending someone else. Wow... how can people be so.... just wow.

Bolivia president under fire for linking chicken to deviance
(http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5h7pjHV8-yvgHW_zKQ1lmSIYIT75w)

COCHABAMBA, Bolivia — Bolivian President Evo Morales was under fire on Wednesday for suggesting that eating hormone-injected chicken could provoke male deviance at a global climate change summit.

Bolivia's opposition and homosexual groups criticized comments made by Morales at the first "people's conference" on climate change the previous day, in which he said that chicken producers inject birds with female hormones and "when men eat those chickens, they experience deviances in being men."

The Bolivian president also suggested that the European diet made men go bald.

Spain's National Federation of Lesbians, Gays, Transsexuals and Bisexuals sent a protest letter to the Bolivian embassy of Madrid, calling Morales remarks "homophobic."

The president of Argentina's homosexual community, Cesar Cigliutti, said: "It's an absurdity to think that eating hormone-containing chicken can change the sexual orientation of a person."

"By following that reasoning, if we put male hormones in a chicken and we make a homosexual eat it, he will transform into a heterosexual," he added, in online comments.

Right-wing Bolivian deputy Andres Ortega criticized Morales for recounting "urban legends" at the conference which sought to draft new proposals for the next UN climate talks in Mexico at the end of the year.

"I thought it was a place to talk about science and real and positive things about preserving the environment," Ortega said.

Thousands of environmental activists, indigenous leaders and ecologists were taking part in the three-day summit focusing on the world's poorest, whom they say were largely ignored at official UN-sponsored climate talks in Copenhagen last December.

Morales on Wednesday announced the creation of an international movement to protect the Earth which would promote a world tribunal for climate issues and a global referendum on environmental choices.

Developing nations have resisted a legally binding climate treaty, arguing that wealthy nations must bear the primary responsibility for climate change.

A Personal Story Concerning LGBT National Silence Day.

My grandaughters movement on that day. She is almost 15 and this is her story.


http://outbeatyouth.org/index/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/dayofsilence.jpg



Throughout this school year she has had many harrassing moments in her school towards her. One in which 2 boys tagged her locker with lesbo signs and such. Another where a girl was bullying her because of being lesbian. And a couple which involved teachers. One teacher even saying," Your a HOMO! And I don't agree with anything you do!"

With all this happening to her in the school. She decided to use National Silence Day to act upon all she has had happen. A peaceful way to present her issues.

In her school there were aproximately 30 LGBT students and 50 students who supported LGBT students who participated.

They wore signs saying,
"TODAY IS LGBT NATIONAL SILENCE DAY FOR HARRASSMENT,BULLYING AND ABUSE!
We are in silence for all thos who have been or will be harrassed or battered as a result to the bullying and wrong actions against us and others. For our choice to be who we are!
Under those words was a big question mark
?????
If you are wondering why we are silent ...JUST ASK!

Then they would had out a card instead of speaking which expalined the movement.

Well throughout the day...This one girl had harrassed and bullied my grandaughter all day. Even pushing her at one point and spinning her around saying..YOUR A LESBIAN..YOU WON'T HIT ME!"
This went on a few times and then out of the blue...When my grandaughter wasn't aware she was right by her...This girl sucker punched her in the face very hard. My grandaughter feels awful about that but she had to defend herself and knocked the girl out in one punch! Of course this is being addressed. It was all seen on the monitors so my grandaughter was not in trouble for it as well. But what symbol as to the day.

I am very proud of her for trying to handle things in a non abusive manner...And it saddened me that she wound up having to use physical force to protect herself. It really hurt her heart that she had to.

As a result of this happening, I have decided to take on that day to help the youth of LGBT students. On April 16th from here on out...I will be at the schools to help keep order first of all. Second, I am going to unite with our LGBT Center and raise awareness of this day in advance so it will make a much stroger impact in my community.

To bring it to light so to speak...Before the day...so those wanting to support or be a part will remember the day. And will also be able to support our little ones who are just wanting to be themselves.

Any ideas on what could do this that I might not have thought of?
I am doing:
BANNERS
SIGNS
Even talks if this applies.

Below is a little description of what this day is for and it's impact Nation wide:

It was orriginally started by a family member of someone who was gay bashed is 1996..And it is a very important day to keep our children safe in the schools and community.

Day of Silence 2010: Silent Protest on behalf of LGBT is celebrated as The National Day of Silence to protest against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) harassment in schools.

The question will remain open that if observance of Day of Silence can end anti-LGBT harassment in society especially in schools? LGBT bullying has given birth to many tragic stories in the nation, so the need to end this bullying was felt and first National Day of Silence was observed in 1996.

The need for observance of such a day was first felt by students of Virginia University who organized the first Day of Silence.

The Day of Silence has now become a popular movement throughout the world and students of all ages have joined the protest against bullying and harassment of LGBT.

Day of Silence 2010 is being observed on 16 April, 2010

The first annual Day of Silence was aimed to create better relationship between the gay and straight students.


On 16 April in observance of Day of Silence 2010, the students will remain silent throughout the day but at the same time not hindering the educational process. Some areas choose to observe it on April 15th as well. They would try to refrain from speaking in their free time such as at lunch, recess but they will carry all the other instructional activities by speaking when necessary.

The Day of Silence campaign is getting momentum day by day and today at 14th Day of Silence we have thousands of students participating in the campaign in order to spread awareness about the dangers of bullying the LGBT.

Here are just a couple sites describing this movement.

My boss has been super stressed out lately from, I suspect, things at home. Yesterday she lashed out at me about pulling her files for the upcoming week. I do this every week and have since day one. Never was I told to always have them pulled 2 weeks in advance until yesterday. I assure you if she told me this a year ago I would have been doing it for the past year.

Her calendar is not a secret and she downloads it to her iPhone. I seem to end up on the receiving end of this when she leaves something for the last minute or forgets something or, like a couple weeks ago, goes to the courthouse across the street instead of one in a neighboring county (even though it is in all caps on her calendar and on the docket sheet I attached to the file).

I am not taking this personally. It's just the Universe demonstrating the practical application of Newton's Third Law.

Everytime something positive happens (Wednesday she took me to lunch for Admin Day), something like this follows shortly thereafter.

Guess I better contact Hogwarts and register for their online mindreading class...

I wanted a pig and R said no, but I said, the ladies at 4H said pigs will eat the johnson grass (weeds)...What do you think she'll say if I tell her the goat is more eco friendly than the lawn mower?

Mare says, get the goat, say nothing, then tell R the goat followed you home. :) "You didn't have the heart to turn it away...." Just think - it'll mow your lawn AND provide fertilizer for your garden. How much more eco-friendly can you get???

Mind you, around here, this tactic will only work when Mare does it.
I was just informed to "not get any ideas".

I recently posted a comment that a few people thought was offensive or racist. I did not intend to sound like it did, and thus apologized for my comment. But, it seems that a few more people have joined the bandwagon, and have to depict and degrade me even more, regardless of my apology. I have only been a member a few weeks, and I am disheartened to know that this community is not as forgiving as I thought they would be. No one really knows me, my race, my background and yet they refuse to let it die and forgive me of a statement I regret making. I thought of all people, my community of gay commrades would see I am truly sorry for that statement and let it die. But NO, this site is like highschool, in that they have clicks, one makes a statement, and they all come to the rescue to support their fellow bashers. I picketed for gay rights, prop 8 etc. and now I am fighting for the same people who are so desperately unforgiving, bashing me for my one statement, and refusing to move on! And the sad part, is that others "Thank" them for the post!! I know what it is like to be a minority, the discrimination, etc. and I refuse to tolerate that in a website of supposedly "family". Yes, you win(and you know who you are), but the battle is not with me, it is within yourself! If you cannot be forgiving here, I can only imagine what you are like in your day to day life and feel sorry for you. I believe in God, and I can forgive someone, because we all make mistakes. It is sad, that we reach out to be around fellow gay people for support and help, and they are the ones who turn their back on you, and are the first to judge and be non-forgiving. I choose not to be a part of this website anymore, as it is the "choosen few" who destroy the content/meaning of a gay supposedly friendly website. Thank you for showing me no tolerance. Thank you for being so opinionated that you fail to find your human side. Thank you for showing me, that it does not matter whether you are gay or straight, human kindness does not flow through your veins. I made my apologies, I've said my piece, and now I choose to no longer to be a member of this site. So, THANK YOU very much for showing me the true meaning of discrimination and tolerance!! May the karma you bestow on others, reap it's benefits upon you.
For the few people who did show their kindness, thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I wish you good health, good luck and tons of happiness.

What's on my mind tonight?

Sometimes I feel emotionally a bit like that fish at the end of the faith no more video.

_AMS3XNK9CU

But it's better to feel something than nothing, and I've learned how to feel calm even when there is anguish. The calm will last, the anguish won't.

Somebody told me recently that I embarrass myself and it's hard to watch. Maybe I do. Certainly I have. I don't always keep a lid on the things I should keep a lid on. I'm not always so discreet or modest or grown-up. I make a lot of mistakes. I have made a whole lot of them.

But life goes on, and I am aiming for something greater.

This is the banter I miss from friendships I have lost. You two gave me a wonderful gift today. A smile that will remain no matter what else happens, because all day I am gonna be hearing Love Muffin and Pookie Bear attached to what everyone says.

Talked with an ex today about someone new I am talking to, about the fears I am having. We talked about everything about this new individual and hy helped me see how really good this could be. Funny, finding someone new and talking to hym about her... was exactly the closure I needed to keep a friend in this person.

The fates work in strange ways sometimes, but if I can just listen... They always seem to have best interest in mind.
