Mmmmmm! So who hasn't "researched" their info before posting?
Me thinks you must be meaning "nos autres" which would translate word for word as "our others" but would only make sense in a sentence in French. Or was it "nous autres" which means "the rest of us" Or was it "entre nous" which means "between us" or "between ourselves"
Let me think...... Nos = our Outre = 1. a goatskin flask 2. beyond
Mmmmmmm May you got the words right and may be they meant to say "our goatskin flasks" or "our beyond"
Homer you are so romantic! I'm sure your flower and mail box are gonna be jammed packed after such a subtle invitation! Mind hopefully they won't mind seeing your picture upsidedown!
I urgently needed a few days off work, but I knew the Boss would not allow me to take a leave. I thought that maybe if I acted "CRAZY" then he would tell me to take a few days off. So I hung upside down on the ceiling and made funny noises. My co-worker (who's blonde) asked me what I was doing? I told her that I was pretending to be a light bulb so that the Boss would think I was "CRAZY" and give me a few days off. A few minutes later the Boss came into the office and asked "What are you doing ?" I told him I was a light bulb. He said "You are clearly stressed out. Go home and recuperate for a couple of days". I jumped down and walked out of the office. When my co-worker (the blonde) followed me, the Boss asked her "And where do you think you're going?"
She said, "I'm going home too, I can't work in the dark!"
wedward were I to complain to the moderator or stop posting in my own thread would imply that whatever you have to say carries such weight that I would be to you. You are not that important!
It's the way that you were "writing" about me whislt addressing someone else instead of me directly that was rude and patronising (and so were the assumptions you made). You who projects yourself as the perfect gentleman would I am sure understand that. As for the advice angle that is sometimes one of the masks that one wears to better kid ourselves how so very nice we are and so we could not possibly be wrong. You think that the fact you were trying to be helpful makes it ok for you to be rude? You care that much you want to give me advice then speak to me directly!
No trained counsellor Smoky. Just the training of life: Personnal growth: my own Trauma counselling: some of my friends and some relatives Suicide intervention: my last husband
I could add quite a few you haven't mentionned but will choose to keep them private.
The whole thing coupled with sensitivity and empathy adding up to a pretty amazing pool of experiences that serve far more for one's own personnal developmentand/growth than a life time of "artificial training".
HA HA! We are all mature students Wedward! Students of life...
I don't think I have read a thread or a post on CS that has made me feel angry until this post from you Wedward. You patronising condenscending beeeep beeeeep beeeep! What you write is pretty rich coming from a guy who starts threads asking people to post their artisctic ideas to serve as inpiration for his own work! And we all know that we view and judge everything around us from our own stand point! Nice way of getting something for nothing? More beeeep! beeeep! beeeeep! Everything that is written on the threads is for EVERYONE to get something out of - on all the different facets of the humand mind.
For your information Wedward simply thanked people for their contributions because several members had obviously taken time and effort to think about the question and share their thoughts. I have to say that in this thread you have shown a different facet of yourself. Never before had I witnessed you being quite so patronising and condescending hidden under the guise of "well meaning advice".
Wedward is this your way finding a common ground for you and Smoky to communicate without being at one another's throat?
For everyone's information: I am NO trained counsellor nor indeed a mature student. May be I missed my vocation! And should look into it, become a mature student studying counselling! Or may be I shouldn't bother and start my own counselling business staight off since I project such a good image of being good at it Roll in the ££££££££££££!
I say of myself that I am spiritual and one thing I am very sure of is : "I am very sure why" and I practise daily (healing prayer, meditation/quiet time to reflect and connect with beautiful energies) I am also very sure that I am not religious as I was brought a catholic and I no longer practise that religion or support it's teachings. Mostly because I don't agree with it's history of violence or it's "narrow minded" and dictatorial approach to "life". God is surely a lot "Grander" than that.

Or were you talking about your new perspective?
