While I readily admit that I don't understand much of "believing"; only that Faith is by nature incomprehensible and therefore difficult for many to embrace, I DO embrace it myself in spite of reservation and doubt....One thing I know for sure, and it can be found in this adage"
"If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything"
It isn't usual for me to make politically based comments, however, I want to point out something and this is as good a place (forum) as any:
One cannot work in social services (AFS, Hospitals, Rehabilitation Centers, Nursing Homes, Group Homes, Vocational Support Shops, etc...) even as a janitor/housekeeper/kitchen help, unless he or she is able to pass a police background check. This includes substantiated criminal activity that rises above misdemeanor levels. So, by what token could someone with so many multiple criminal offenses --that surely surpass misdemeanor, be allowed to vie for the highest social service (President) with such a checkered background audit????? Is ANYONE minding the store in America???-- ????? At some point, the very policies that control classified staff from working in these environments should also apply to political office!!
"....there is always someone, for each of us, they say and you will be my someone, forever and a day-- I could search the world over, until my life is through-- but I know I'll never find another you......"
{lovely, lilting melody to this song...sorry, this was the only part I could readily remember....}
Rocky Road Ice Cream is SOOOOOO darn good! Have you ever tried "Moose Tracks" Ice Cream?? Freddies (Fred Meyer/Kroger/Fry's) carries it. I'll do a quick search and see if it's available near you...hold on. (It'll be worth the wait..)
I'm a bit torn, but I think warm pecan pie with very cold French Vanilla Ice Cream--two helpings, please......I also like a French pastry/cake called "Trifle"--a little like that Italian layered creamy cake (gee, I forgot, it's Tirasmu or something..)
Morning--good enough argument for meeting folks the old fashioned way--church, club, square dance, pub/restaurant.....Although I have met a couple of people from online over the years, I fairly old school in wanting to meet in person. Perhaps a victim of my own antiquity...but have yet to be screwed up by this AI thing-a-ma-jig. Thanks for putting this out there. We need to stop being dependent on technology and use it for a tool, not an "everything".
I choose Animal Welfare--whatever as long as the foundation is transparent and open about where and how the funds are spent. My reasoning is that all life shares the Earth, and people have to be the voice for animals, both wild and domestic, because they cannot do it themselves. Hint: the actual dollar amount that goes directly to the aid of the (whatever you choose) should be at LEAST 75% of the gross.
I also like St. Jude's (Marlo Thomas, Chair) because there is no cost to the child's family whatsoever. Now, THAT'S giving.......
As I read through this, I internalized a bit because I've thought about things I might have changed. My career, for instance, city of dwelling, etc...However, realistically, although a completely valid and interesting question, the bottom line is: You can't. So develop a persona that celebrates those jobs/careers, living situations, et al, because that is what WAS and IS, and really, it's what you have to work with. Can't change the past. Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda, never made it to the finish line. So, I celebrate my achievements, continue to learn from past "Shoulda's", etc...because no one can look back successfully. The road only goes forward.
Some people marry in haste--"love at first sight", and it works a lifetime for them. Some people do as much due diligence as is humanly possible, thinking, re-thinking, pre-marriage counseling, great communication, the whole nine yards, and it fails later. No one can say there is a right way or a wrong way or whatever. I suppose you must trust that your love for one another is deeper than any problem that can come your way.....that is, not to say one should tolerate abuse. If the couple has a contract of sorts, where they PROMISE to communicate sagely and fairly, and re-visit their feelings and goals at least once a week, that might be beneficial. Can't hurt....Anyway, I admit I'm really out of the loop--and away from the "danger zone" because I love and embrace my single life.
I am not judgmental about a parting. Sometimes it just doesn't work out, and a new beginning for each is equitable.
By the same token: I worked in the medical field for many years. Every living human being, sterile room doctor, celebrity, skid row derelect, is CRAWLING with fauna all over their bodies--tiny mites that live in the eyelash pores, mites so small five thousand could fit on the nose of Lincoln on a penny--all writhing about all of the time--if people could "see" these, many would run down the street screaming .......Many cultures eat bugs. Why, we eat a "bug" when we have lobster or crayfish. Same thing......
Just wondering: Would YOU make a great boyfriend? What do YOU bring to the relationship that will entice a potential partner? (It's helpful to know where an OP stands on the questions he/she asks...)
