Heh heh. Well, that wasn't exactly the idea.. I'm normally the laughing boy around here.. can't let everybody get into a rut or anything.. :D At worst, I'll have somewhat of a solution this winter: Frugal boss plus little used furnace plus three or four space heaters equals, heat, at last.. :) The only worry though: old wiring.. :unsure:

No problem, I needed a little humor.. humor always seems to help me, friend.

But its not all negative.. I do have internet access, and can come visit here between jobs and stuff.. I don't THINK I'll get in trouble.. unless boss reads the darn posts here..

So the victster could be just another one of the "in crowd"..

Outandabout, I think they'd die first.. :D

Yep.. no greasespotters involved.. Frustration sometimes.. I guess it wouldn't hurt to say something here about it.. Dealing with a situation where the department here doesn't get what it needs to produce, but still has to somehow turn a profit.. I think I need another job.. and I have been seeking. It was good here once. Depressing before, today I just got stinking mad.. Sorry to take it out on you guys. Maybe we oughta delete it..

Oh, I'm not mad now, either..

No no no.. just having a bad day here at work today.. it really is nice to be able to get mad about stuff anymore.. I dealt with it here, and things are lots better. Before, I would have let it brew for a whole stinking week.. Thought I'd get moderated for extensive cussing or something.. :D

Crap.. can't even curse like I'd like to here..

Jeeze.. with Smikeol, at least you know where you stand..

And that's all I can say, here. And I don't CARE how much trouble it might get me in.. ptooie. I'd say more, but it would only get me moderated out of existence here..

Abi, if nobody claims it, we'll just have to ship it off to the island of misfit chairs..

Thanks Lorna.. no, I haven't given up on HIM. Today I feel a heck of a lot better.. and I think people's prayers have helped a lot.. a lot of bitter old baggage finally came up..and I just need to make sure I've dealt with it, and not just buried it again. In a lot of ways, socially, my growth has been stunted by years of involvement in the ministry. All of the suggestions, even silly ones have helped. Horseshoes, with a handicap! I guess even a carp can throw horse shoes if it tries hard enough.. I think the group of friends here have helped me more than anything though.. at least to this point in my life.

Nice site Belle! Now.. so many many things to choose from..

Welcome, Just Say No! I think that is quite an apt description.. I met somebody that sported one of those ankle "thingies"- and "they" certainly do NOT let you forget that you are under arrest.. The phone calls.. dealing with prison authorities.. dealing with the same demeaning attitudes- I observed to be the same for the individual as being in the stinking joint.. I think the only reason it is so, is because it is CHEAPER. I think you're right.. for the motivation, follow the money, or lack thereof..

I probably still practice SOMETHING I learned there. hmmm.. give me a few minutes to find it... umm.. I'll get back to you on that.. :D

I thought the big announcement was that due to budget constraints, the annual BOD meeting was going to be in the Cayman Islands, instead of Cancun..

Seems like EVERYTHING he did.. got some kind of "fight"..but why attribute to Satan? Cripe.. just another dodge from reality.. Perhaps reality is too shocking.. remove Satan from the equation, and you just may find that you are your own worst enemy.. Personally, I found that kind of belief rather enticing.. God forbid that I should be wrong about anything.. Other words, well, lets not have lemons, let's have some lemonaide. No sugar, of course.. "I cast aside the benefits of any kind of ministerial association, alienated my congregation and higher ups, but let's look at the positive side.. at least I can do what I want to now.." My translation:"after leaving my calling with reckless abandon, I needed a dozen or so people to support me in my time of crisis. Hmmm, lessee.. twelve incomes, and ten percent or more for each at that.." "Despite constant brow-beating, and appeals for 'love', 'my' people somehow still managed to see my efforts as being the half-baked scheme that it indeed was". Ah, the birth pangs of PFAL.. "I bore you son.. and don't you forget it..""I was in labor for TWELVE STINKING DAYS!!!!!" Jeeze.. I dunno.. "I didn't want to make such a big scene and make myself a large enough embarrassment that I would never be able to recover myself" No pay at that.. except Rhoda maybe.. Even back then he was developing his army of slave labor..

Temple Lady, I dunno.. looks like they need a smaller and smaller boat, all the time..

Well.. rascal looked exactly like I thought she would..

Well.. the secret to their success is the secrecy of their moves.. or something like that.. Just SLOWLY move the dear little mushrooms to market in a nice dark trailer.. don't want to bother them or anything..

Most of them, their on line personalities that I perceived fit their personal personalities.. quite a few fit the mind picture I had of them. Others, well.. Sure can't bat a hundred percent!

All kidding aside.. going to this wienie roast helped me in ways you guys may never know..

It must be because I'm strange, but I liked it! :lol:

Well.. sports, sports... hmmm. From one with the athletic prowess of a carp, I don't know how well that would work out.. both of my kids are atheletes.. no idea where it came from.. Karate is a good idea perhaps.. Rascal, after seeing you in person, I can see you in a dojo wearing the conventional karate dress.. kind of strange in a way, but it somehow would fit..
