welcome

Txmomof2, since I am newbie, how might one 'chime-in' to welcome another newbie, or should I leave it to the 'the masters', youself & 'luv'?

well hun you can just say welcome or add your own flair to it.

Sometimes I do a simple welcome.

Other times I add my own 2 cents to whatever the are talking about.


And sometimes I welcome them to the insanity of Mingleland. And warn them of all the wards.

OK, so (here goes)

"WELCOME!"

Be sure to watch out for the "Hot Beer" ward,
and the "Live Girls" ward,
and (the ward I'm in) the "Terminally Sane" (and forced to deal with it)
ward.
Oh, yeah, I almost forgot--it seems everyone around here is a little bit Psycho, but I don't want to offend anyone with the "little bit" qualifier...
(Saw-right? txmomof2)

Aren't we all just a little bit insane?

Aye....there's the nugget, isn't there?

Is that fact that I'm a little insane, make me more sane than the next?

Or is it the fact that Reality is for those who can't handle insanity?

Or maybe even, the most sane of us must be the most insane, by definition?

I prefer just to strip off, and not deal with it.
That way, I have no chafing (or chafing thoughts),
and a lot of breathing room (usually).

And I'll never be one to share my deepest insane thoughts with
anyone else.
Unless, of course, they are a member...

Or, perhaps a weblog buddy...

Well I do share but no one seems to understand what I'm talking about

LOL!!!



Yes, I know the feeling. Oh, do I.
But, then, if they knew what you were talking about,
would that not put you in a category with
other people, and mess-with the definition
of insanity (or at least your particular version thereof?)

Well truth be told someone is always putting people in categories with others. There is no such thing as individuality anymore. Everyone judges everyone by someone else's standards. Normal? Who is to say what normal is? Some dude with a phd sitting in a lab somewhere? I think not. Normal is what we want to be.

P.S. Don't you dare tell anyone else I have a deep side. Or that I can actually think for myself.

Abby Normal?

WHY?????

Why not?

1. You are now officially 'in my confidence'
2. Never, will I tell.
3. I complete agree about the categorization, thing.

For, nay should any man judge another, as that is not
in the purview of man --
Reason: At the time a man (or woman) makes a split second
decision, they are faced with a multitude of simultaneous
inputs, and more data than they can process in the time allowed.
Thus, they are (by definition) forced to make a decision
based on the (likely incomplete) information they have at that instant.
(and, the information may change an instant later, may it not?)
Thus,
for some "Other" man/woman/judge(hah!)(what gave them the right?)
to come back (later) and review the decisions made by another,
(having not Lived through that critical time, with the
coincident information available)(yet, having other
(often BIASED) testimony available),
the "Judge" is burden with....WHAT---
Making a "Decision" -- The SAME EXACT THING the person
being 'judged' was faced with, back at the time they
made their decision.....
So -- if the "judge" decides that the 'decision-maker' was
WRONG -- (for the split-second decision they made, under
circumstances the "judge" may have never, and may never
"be forced" to face....) well, to ME, that's just
WRONG WRONG WRONG.
How can any man/woman make a decision about another person's decision,
without having been: (at least)
A: Raised in similar (if not the same) environmental circumstance
B: Faced with a similar (if not the same) predicament, forcing
a split second-decision (after all, the "judge" gets to take his time....)

So, to me "judgement" is a very slippery slope....and not in the
purview of Man.
And, yet, it is forced (and foisted) upon us in the name
of "civilization", and remains as corrupt, and vulnerable
to nepotism/etc as it always has been...
Whew...I'm sorry...
What just happened...
It's almost like I took a big mental d*mp....

BTW: I love that.

Glad you got that off your chest.

What?

Woe woe woe!!

So we got two guys new to the hood, eh
