I always enjoyed his contributions to our community here and will miss his participation...as has been said already, he is out of the pain but continuing his journey, just not here with us
I agree whole heartedly with Jean...even the decision of starting to look for another employer will put the control back in your court. The feeling of being at loose ends will dissipate with even the smallest effort. Not a comfortable time for anyone in your position but the discomfort lies in the indecision. Good luck Morgen.
We share the same birthday but I've had it 22 years longer that you LOL. You are in your prime so enjoy, it just keeps getting better. Hope you had a great day.
When your passion turns to your anger...anger is the wind that blows out all reason. It is also the sign of a weaker position in the discussion. With some it is win at all costs when a true discussion is both enlightening and educational. Good question
As you have learned, wisdom comes with experience not age. As one who learns better first hand, I agree with your conclusion. To travel unencumbered with material things leaves much more room in your "suitcase" for experiences and spiritual growth. Many years ago when I sobered up from my alcoholism and lived a much more simple life, I found that having only one key (the key to my little apartment) put me in a wonderful space of freedom. It seems that with the accumulation of material things, the keys on my keyring have multiplied to where I now have so many sets of keys that I have trouble remembering what they are all for. Along with the keys come attachments and attachments bind our spirit and I look forward to the day when I am free again. If I ever endevour to place a tattoo on my body it will probably read "just passin' thru".
The best formula for success in life that I have found is to work on making yourself happy through your interests (hobbies) and personal growth and then share that happiness with another (your mate). If you both use this formula then you aren't relying on each other for your happiness but are both bringing happiness into the relationship to share. No one else is responsible for my happiness but me (just don't do it at another's emotional expense). To put the responsibility for your happiness on another is inviting disappointment as no one knows what will make you happy but you.
My understanding of this saying goes like this...Top of the mornin' to ya...(RESPONSE) and the rest of the day to you, may the sidewalks rise up to meet ya, may the wind always be at your back and may ya be in Heaven half an hour before the Devil knows you're dead
Unfortunately Parti, karma can take lifetimes to balance the scales (depending on the karmic debt load of the individual). As has been already advised rainbow, seek out the services of an impartial lawyer. Unless you want to lose money then it is good money spent. Good luck
Great topic Elmo I too fear our individual greed (moreso the Corporate greed) will have a negative effect on this pristine area. However to truly believe that we are the cause of the ice melting is arrogance on a universal scale. The cyclical history of our planet is responsible and although we should clean up our act, we have very little to do with the warming of our planet. It's just another info spin to generate money for the already too rich corporations. I applaud global consciousness in all areas that we can control but let's get a hat with a real tight head band here...we are miniscule in comparison to mother nature. She will let us go so far and then bring on another ice age to scour her planet clean and begin again. Let's all hope that we learn as we go.
Good on you Ami...I bet you made a lot of women happy with the flowers you sold. You helped a friend and made a little profit for yourself I hope I got my sweetheart a card and some chocolates and a heart charm for her charm bracelet. As we work opposing shifts, I got up early to see her off to work and exchange gifts. She bought me a card, chocolates and the new book by Jean Auel (Land of painted caves) which I have been waiting to read for a lonnnnng time. Love that lady to bits
Sorry you've been misled and feel trapped but better days lie ahead. I understand the fear of trading financial security for ??? but you are the only one that knows your needs around your children. I hate it when I have to switch around from afternoons to days too quickly. Happy Valentines Day DW
There was a very beautiful woman who took acting dumb to a whole new level. Her name was Carol Wayne and she was Johnny Carson's (the tonight show) card girl for some of his comedy routines. A gorgeous woman with an iq that was off the charts. If you can get "acting dumb" to work for you then have at it but I agree with you, it's far healthier to have good self esteem so that no one can rock your boat.
If you really wanted to stay then why let go or walk away...that is playing head games. If you don't play games you may find the person you need will be there. You aren't alone in your thinking, there are many who play this game.
Hello Equiya...brrr a sudden taste of winter in the GTA
I think the problem lies in the fact that you both have a similar email addy listed and if she used your computer to sign up an account in her name then you have the same ip address. CS doesn't allow multiple profiles using that kind of criteria. Either way I enjoy your contributions to the forums and would miss your smiling face if you left. Hopefully you can get this ironed out and stay.
RE: Unconditional love
What is the definition of "unconditional love" to you? I know what it is for me and it is a rare thing to find.
