Love all the heartfelt, heart warming stories. They are like fairyland to me tho. Sorry I'm the "downer" here. I married because I was basically "told" to. Have been married almost 24 years now and none have been pleasant that I can recall. I bet there are others "out there" that don't have the "fairy land tale" also.

I was around when the 4th Corps did their "marriage circle" and only one or two are still together that I know of.

I left my husband for 5 years (the man VP told me to marry). We went back together after 5 years because of "promises"...and now 7 years later...tis the same. Iknow there are happy marriages from TWI..but there are also reget marriages.

People will probably post the happy ones...so I'm the odd ball.

I didn't know she was even still around. She was a wonderful heart-felt woman. She did a lot for me back in the 70's. Very kind-hearted.

Gilbert died...and she married someone a couples later is what I heard

Why does anyone care about John Lynn? He introduced me to his "girlfriend" that he was going to marry after he and Pat split. But really who cares????? And if you CARE so much.............why?????

If he's ....#d up, he's ....#d up. If he's out in the cyber space woods, so be it. Pray for the dude if you care. If you don't let your brain go elsewhere.

I knew him way back when....when he and Pat were married and with their daughter. People change...and they were under pressure then. Pat was a Jack Daniels junkey and he was a bottled water junkie. Pat spent all her time with Harvey Platig.

But SO WHAT. She taught me how to fold sheets in a class...sheets that are fittied. That's all I give her credit for. She was basically an all bitch then and probably still is...but she taught the "corps" how to fold fitted sheets.

I "KNOW" John's background.................do YOU....probably NO.

His parents own E-Lie Lilly (mis-spelled it). They own the eli lilly corporation so John has never had to work and never would hold an actual job in his life. He lives off the the principle of the E-lie lilly corp. That corp destributes drugs and researches them. BUt his dad was the founder of the company so that's where he gets his bucks and his pass into never working or holding a job. He used to joke about never having to work. He was born with a silver spoon and still sucks it.

I'm still socially retarded.

Panic? I know job panic. Prayers are with you. Tis not easy I know.

I know. And if you add "ed" to the definitions you get the same for "tainted" as "taint." I just didn't want that "word" to over-rule the post. Didn't mean to be offensive to you. Just didn't want a spin-off on "taint" or "taintED". :)

TAINT isn't like AIN'T. TAINT means: spoil, stain, contaminate, dirty, infect, ruin, pollute, defile.....should I go on???? I'm very aware of English usage of words.

But I "figured"...."taint" would be the focus...that's why I said what I said above.

I once said goodby also and told people I was leaving...because I had been so hurt by comments I made that were from my heart and just an honest open exposure of myself. I was still stung and came back and read post but didn't respond to any for a long time because the hurt was very deep. But when I said goodbye and was upfront about leaving (as I believe Johnny is)...I had PM's from people and responses that made me consider whether to leave or not. I chose to come and read but not post until I could personally handle the hurt and attacks. I DONT see ANYTHING wrong with someone saying they are leaving.

1) Maybe letting them know their posts count help

2) Maybe just saying goodbye helps because it shows SOMEONE cares (we all would like SOMEONE to care and in cyberspace...who knows)

3) Maybe something someone "says" answers a question for them that will disuade them from leaving

Who knows.....but I don't think it's wrong to say goodbye. I think it's more upfront than to just disappear and become inactive.

I'm FOR Johnny not to leave and to come back because he's a great person, with a lot of insight that doesn't seem to be tainted. (Ok so now someone will take off on "tainted".....go for it...but that wasn't what was ment and you know it.)

Hope your future is as wonderful as you seem to be as a person Johnny. You go for it!!

Oak.....so what if Johnny wanted to share his success with us? If something important, cool, prosperous happened to me I'd want to share it. That doesn't make a person bad or looking down on someone else or others. I was happy when I read Johnny's post and happy for him and his family for the prosperity. I think it's cool and congrats Johnny! Hope you have more tremendous prosperity!

I don't think it can be so easily defined. I don't think it fits in one category or another because you have "people" involved...then you have to take into account ages and who was mature and who was immature. I just don't think it can be defined so easily. There are all different kinds of "rape" categorized these days...and who said, she said, he said....etc. I just don't think it's a line anymore that's cut and dry.

A 13 year old has sex with a 21 year old...yea, sure the 21 was more mature of course and the 13 was just probably entering puberty and sexually inquesitive. A 16 year old and an 18 year old...dunno....both know the sexual boundries but the law is always there.

I just don't think you can easily define it unless it is more in the category of a sexual preditor type of thing. Can define from personal opinion, but I really think the "teen" areas....from 13 to 19 are person opinions in many ways.

I'm not saying at all it's "right"....I'm just saying I don't think you can actually "define" it.

I just re-read back as I skipped some...maybe my post is either out of line, or not on topic. If so, apologize.

I understand your question Starbird.....I have wondered too. I have wondered about that and the "abiss".

Johnny would like her eyes to follow..........LMAO.

Yea, but only if you Johnny.....LOL.

You type, it talks.

Anyone between Tipp City and St. Marys / Wapak area that can doggie sit two doggies for me while I house/apartment hunt in mid-February? Know it's a lot to ask. Just trying all options as all the ones down here have failed thus far. Can't afford to board them.

I was on staff for years before I went into the Corps..I was "supposed" to go in the 6th corps but I backed out. I actually had all the "uppers" of New Knoxville" as my sponsers( meaning the townspeople...the townspeople sponsered my Corps)..........but that's a diff story. Why the Corps? Thought it was a "step up."

This question is for everyone, but if you did it why?

I have been looking at the 6th corp website by John Richardson and a few older threads

to see pics of old friends.

There were a lot of people in the way corp. It seemed like hundreds.

What was the attraction?

My Question is why?

Was it four years long like now?

I know it was a diffrent time in the 70's and 80's and mabye collage was not a big deal to get a high paying job?

Could you give up a few years in your mind and then do what you wanted and go to collage or

get a job?

Was it a feel good thing, making a diffrence in life, changing the world with the word?

Please do not take this question as picking on or judging any one for what they did.

I look at the old photos and there were so many people willing to give up there life for this program

and now I do not think they can graduate 10 way corp a year if that many.

I know the rules changed for the way corp and most are evil people now. What was the attraction long ago?

copenhagen

Same reason I'm going back to Ohio CK.......family :). Good for you. (Course the "tan" in FL helps ;) ). My brother lives in Tampa and my friend that's been helping me with the renovation of the house is going to college in Orlando in March.

Why are you moving to Florida?

(IMO)......GOd is just. God gave freedom of will to chose. If you choose to leave your cabinets open, that's your choice. I don't think God hurts people, but I think people hurt themselves...many times, too, in the name of God.

IMO............. it's a spiritual battle so you can't look at it in the physical. It's two powers that fight and people are the pawn. I don't think God hurts anyone but when they turn their back they reap the consiquences. There's only so much HE can do.

I think He gave them freewill to chose in everything. Adam and Eve had a choice...and they chose. We always have a choice and choose. If it blows up in our face it's not HIS fault, it's ours.

If you own a dog that becomes rabid you have the tell-tail signs. Why would you let it out the door??? Rabid dogs show signs that are very apparent. The dog would probably bite you before you ever let it out.

Thanks Ex...but I'm talking about other chat rooms....not this one. This one I usually get into ok.

have you tried going in from the forums ? while you are in here ?

go to the top almost the very top and there's a blue little box (sorta box, like a rectangle) you can click on. it's to the right of the word "gallery"

it says "Live Chat" and to its right is calendar

it's right above those little ads and right below the main title greasespot thingy

Checked.....all were already enabled.

Don't understand how GANGS got to people's skins...like I said rabbit trails. If the topic is GANGS....talk about gangs, and gangs in your area, etc. Gangs are NOT a skin color. If you're area is jeprodized, talk about THAT...not who YOU think did it.

SOOOOO....the thread is GANGS...not color, creed, etc. Do we get back to that or do we just keep throwing mud???? YOUR CHOICE. If ya'll want to throw mud....I have a very LARGE backyard you can do it in. BUT if want to talk about the original topic GET BACK TO IT.

If ya'll have a "debate" on color creed, why don't you just IM each other and leave everyone else out of it.

TOPIC: GANGS................get it?

There is white trash, African American trash, Indian trash, etc. Gangs was the topic...............didn't think color was the issue..... But your response EX shows it's not a COLOR thing. Like I said...topic was GANGS........not a rabbit trail.
