invisible~~ we are human & have emotions. Not all of them are "pretty".
But they are in us for a reason. It is difficult to be diplomatic when
you feel you are being attacked for having your own thoughts. As you
know, I can relate to that all too well. Just this morning I was very
upset over something that had happened & you, along with a few others
made me really think & reconsider not posting anymore. I thank you for
that!!

Thanx Cat~~~


Long time no chat~~~how are things in your little corner of the world?
How are the furry babies? Mine are all doing well & into everything, as
usual!

Why can't everyone respect & accept each other for what & who they are?
We are all different in many ways, including our religious/philosophical
beliefs. Is it really nessisary to be rude, condescending & judgemental
of others? There is an old saying, "You can catch more flies with honey
than you can with vinegar." The way to win friends & influence enemies
is not by acting like you know everything about everything & that
everyone is wrong if they don't think or believe the way you think they
should. It is by listening & respecting everyone's right to be themself
& have their own thoughts. We are not all meant to walk the same path.
Everyone has the right to choose for themselves & just because we do not
choose another's path does not mean we are going to "hell", "heaven",
"purgatory" or any other mythical place. Tolerance & acceptance of
others seems to be lost in this forum & that is really a shame.

jean~~~Thanx~~~I think it may be the haircut~~~

Thank you Trizar, but I just don't see it. Funny thing, I just see me!!
But I guess there could have been enough chlorine in my gene pool. Looks
as if you had your share as well. You are a fine looking man!!

I work 3 jobs, so as long as I don't look as old as I feel on some days,
I think I am ahead of the "game".




Sexy? Me? I don't think I am.
A b*tch? Not a b*tch, THE b*tch, if need be!

Yes, I still love him very much, although I am not "in love" with him
anymore. We were married for over 20 years & it is impossible for me to
be indifferent toward him. I wish him the best of everything & hope that
he will find happiness someday.

I need more coffee.....

Genesis 9:3

Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to
you, as I gave the green plant.

EVERY moving thing?? That includes a lot of creepy crawlies, not to
mention our human beings.

The thought makes me kind of

Care? Not really, just giggled a bit at the thought!!

Ice cream party!!!
Everyone help yourself!!

My sincere sympathies on the loss of your friend. I have lost too many
loved ones in my life. It is never easy.
I know that the dead do communicate with us on many levels. I have had
so many personal experiences, too many to detail here. I realize that
many do not believe they can & respect them for that, but I, personally
know better. And I have never encountered anything "evil". A few that
were not happy campers, but never "evil".


**waiting to have my head chopped off for this one**

No nuts for invisible....flakes for all & lots of hot fudge!!
The Breakfast of Champions!!!!!




**wonders what someone will think of their thread, if they decide to
come back**

Chocolate banana it is!!
Whipped cream?
Hot fudge?
Nuts? {there are a lot of those in here}

Jess....of course.....want some hot fudge on that too? It is really
HOT!! I do appreciate that block feature & use it more often that I
would like, especially lately!!!!

I do know what my life philosophies are & that they do not co-exist well
with many people's beliefs. I have never claimed, nor will I ever think,
I know it all either. To me when a person assumes they know it all, the
cease to learn. I love to learn & I am rather disappointed if I don't
learn something every day. I ran across this saying the other day &
thought it was very true & to the point.

When one arrives at a conclusion they stop thinking.

My reply to those who tell me I am going to "hell" is the following
{sarcastic & rather smarty tookas}, especially since I do not believe in
the concept.

Fantastic!! I have a great job when I get there....driving the ice cream
truck!!

It was Mother's Day & I miss mine more than words can ever say

.

Thanks so much red & invisible. My head is always held high. I bow to
nothing. But I also do not like to be burned at the virtual-stake for my
opinions. I really understand why who are people like me tend to remain
in the preverbial shadows & keep to their own. Being misunderstood &
judged gets old, fast. Especially by people who's hat size rivals their
I.Q..





I think it's coffee time. Anyone want some? I grind my own beans!!

Invisible;
Thank you very much for your kind words. I really appreciate it. I am
rather upset & confused right now, after receiving too many horrible
emails. I do not understand why anyone would go out of their way to be
so hateful. I would never consider such a thing. I just feel as if I am
placing my own head in the guillotine every time I post in this forum. I
realize that my philosophies are not that of, from what I have seen,
anyone else. Which is fine. There are many Christians in here that are
not judgemental & do not attempt to "save" me. I truly appreciate that.
I do not post in attempt to sway anyone to my way of thinking, just to
state my opinion, which is just that.
Thanx again for your words of wisdom. I value your opinion & truly
respect everyone who deserves it.

I tend to agree. I have decided to do my best to keep my opinions to
myself. I will continue to read some of the threads in here, but I doubt
I post much from now on. I find too many people are beyond judgemental &
feel that if others don't see things their way, those people are wrong,
not seeing the "truth", need "salvation" or whatever that moment calls
for. It seems as if each time I post my opinion about a topic, too much
is read into it. It is just my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. I
have a right to that. I also have been recieving some horrible emails.
Those users have been blocked. My philosophy is mine. I do not care who
agrees or disagrees with it & I am not here to explain or defend it. I
place very little importance in emails that are hate-filled,
judgemental, condescending & just plain ignorant. Ignorance not to be
confused with stupidity. I would never even consider emailing someone &
telling them some of the things that have been said to me. It is a shame
that people cannot accept others for what they are. But to go out of
your way to be rude, hateful & much more is unacceptable. I will not
tolerate it from anyone. Especially someone who can only type in caps,
cannot spell & has the nerve to refer to me as "stupid". Some adults
need to grow up & realize that all of us do not have to be just like
them. We all have our own path to walk. I prefer to walk mine in peace &
understanding.
