Funny, but it seems to me most of the world's problems center around one extreem or the other. Religeous beliefs or lack thereof & conflict seem to have gone hand in hand throughout the ages.
One person's fantasy is another person's reality. I would think those who believe in some of the ideals described see them as real as you see them as false. Who's to say what is and isn't possible. After all, who would have believed 200 years ago a future with some of the technology we have today. I guess if we had theorized or believed in those possibilities they would have been look upon as false, fanciful or derived from deception.
I suppose we'll all find out or not when we kick the bucket. In the mean time, I don't think it's wrong or invalid for those who believe to believe as they wish just as others are free to not believe.
I was a father just before I turned 19. It was tough at times but I really, really enjoyed it. Given a chance to go back in time and do it all again, I would but now that I'm 45 I don't think I want to do it all again.
Ofcourse I'm still game for practicing making babies.
In your case you are being upfront and honest about your status. To my knowledge you are not the only one on here that is at least semi attached and there are several others who are in even deeper relationships yet they're still here.
To me, it's the people who lie about their status that cause problems. You are clearly not one of those and I personally see no reason why you would have to stop having your friends here. Besides, you make some pretty damn good posts.
We must have posted at the same time. Now, since I have stopped using the Zyban I just chew a lot of gum but even that has taperd off.
The only real bad side affect was weight gain. 15lbs in 3 weeks but I've now taken that back off. Also, the smoking was causing my rosecia to flare up and now it's under control. Not good to be 45, single and having acne..
If you really try and are motivated you will succeed regardless of the method you use. Good luck if you try Beverly.
I wish you luck. I think the key for me is that I was truly sick of it and I was beginning to feel it. I started with Zyban but after two weeks I had to stop. Way too many nightmares.
I went to Turkey a few years back. I stayed in Istanbul at the Yashil Ev (Green House) Visited the Blue Mosque and other tourist sites, took a cruise and walked all over the city. I loved it all. Nice people, easy to get around. I am trying to visit again late this summer on my way back to the states. This time for the beaches.

Well stated Opal.Funny, but it seems to me most of the world's problems center around one extreem or the other. Religeous beliefs or lack thereof & conflict seem to have gone hand in hand throughout the ages.
