no, but i wrote my name on the bottom of my[/i] old portable sony trinitron have you known the phone was going to ring 1 second before it actually does? More than once?

By the grace of my Higher Power and the loving, but firm arms of my fellows in AA, my duckies were finally lining up. I was now sober (dry) a little over seven years. I had worked the Steps (somewhat), gotten out of a bad marriage (mostly of my own making), and was living my life as a single...

LOL, thinking about contemporary life will do that ardour:D I wish i had the vision to see how things will shake out ultimately... then again, i don't really... might be even MORE depressing then i can envision:(

I could not agree more Ldoc. My feelings exactly, i couldn't add a thing that would sum things up more succinctly. Sometimes i feel the human race has no right to go on doing to itself and our Mother Earth what it does, and should just phase out of existence. What i'm also seeing is an inane and...

hi xclavian- There are many ways other than speech that would allow you to communicate. Some philosophers have even claimed language falls far short of expressing the human experience. You are still very young so i would ask if you have explored avenues such as playing music, visual...

If you are like me, or other Lone Wolves i've encountered, you are a Lone Wolf by nature, and would be one by choice if not by nature. I see it as a matter of choosing to not be a "follower" and having no need or desire to be a "leader". I could never feel completely aligned with the group and...

To my experience, having been both child and parent, one of the most common paradoxes of human relationships is the parent's insistence they are doing the right thing for their child and the child's perception that their parents are intrusive and clueless to their(child's) needs. I think because...

I saw a video of a chipmunk attacking a house cat...don't get me wrong, i hate violence, but the suprize on the cat's face was too much.

Thanks for the welcome guys. It's hard for me to see through the crap too 9006. I'm heartbroken as well as without a home right now. That complicates and sharpens the fear i'm feeling also. There are not many options for seniors on fixed incomes in my area. I may have to move to another state...
