I won’t listen to it from you, either!!!
walks away grumbling “40, my ass. 140, maybe!”
Well, I hope you are wrong, Falcon. Everyone deserves love in their lives.
When in such moods I search through quote sites myself. I find it somewhat comforting to look at my problem and finding a quote by Socrates. Means I’m not in it alone. So here are a few I found. Hope they provoke some thought or life some spirits.
Love is like pi – natural, irrational, and very important.
~ Lisa Hoffman ~
No winter lasts forever; no spring skips it’s turn.
~ Hal Borland ~
In order to have great happiness, you have to have great pain and unhappiness-otherwise how would you know when you’re happy?
~ Leslie Caron ~
We should be careful to get out of an experience only the
wisdom that is in it – and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again – and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one any more. --Mark Twain
And a big <hug> to you all.
Thank you, TruePisces!
- Humph Let me tell you something lurkernomore, I’m closing in on 40 and I’m not giving up on anything!
[sub]The Significantly Younger Lover thinks he’s not getting enough sleep now. Just wait![/sub]
Oh, and Hi, Verrain! Welcome to the boards 
[sub]But you knew I’d say something[/sub]
Arden,
Closed in on it year before last, myself. That was a dig at me. And you don’t HAVE to give up, just you can.
You can give it to SYL as much as you want.Oh, I do, believe me. 
Like Racer, I overspent, and now I’m -$77 in my checking account. Actually, my car payment went through before my paycheck did, but they’ll still fine me out the ass.
And this guy of mine, I’ve been seeing him but not really for about 2 years now. We don’t have a serious relationship (more of friends with benfits), but when we’re bored and/or horny, we hook up. He’s getting engaged. Everytime I hear it, my heart just drops. It’s just too much to grasp.
And Betsy’s pregnant. She’s only 16!! I’ve known her for years, since she was 14, and she’s always been like a little sister to me. And now she’s 6 months pregnant? Damn.
Rashad’s falling deeper into his depression, which scares me. He feels he’s a failure, especially since FSU refused his tryout. His last 3 girlfriends didn’t last, and every time I talk to him, he’s worse than before. I can’t even talk about anything happy in my life to him anymore, he takes it like I’m rubbng it in his face. I’m terrified one of these rejections will be the last straw, and he’ll lose it altogether.

Sounds like you do have a lot on your mind right now. I wish I could do more than just give hugs… wish I could fix it all. They’re all tough situations. (Though, my thought when I read about the overdraft was try going down to the bank manager and talking about it, and kinda start crying while you do. Worked for me once, though it wasn’t my intention when I started. I’m just overly emotional sometimes!) The others… Lots more hugs! It sounds like a lot of trying to help others, in at least half of it. And that’s hard, I know. But if you need to vent further, or just want to talk it out, my mailbox is open. I may not have answers, but I can try!

Blackclaw stumbles in, a thousand yard stare in his eyes. He begins to mumble.
Mind numbing project at work. Developer reduced to no longer programming, just typing. A trained, blind, one armed monkey with an artificial lung could do my job. Company starts laying off folks tomorrow. Wife has endometrioses. She’s feeling better, but no kids for us. Doing tax forms. They suck. And you people. You people don’t seem to think I exist. Didn’t even get one reply in give me a sig thread. Sure I was hijacking someone else’s request for a thread. But if I’d started my own would I have gotten responses… no. Cause I’m not all pretty and charming. I didn’t even get yelled at for the attempted hijack. No Nothing. Nada. I don’t exist. I don’t mean any of this of course. Excuse me, I have to go now. Aliens have stolen my brain.
Blackclaw stumbles back out…
Blackclaw, I’m sorry. 
I’ll be honest. I didn’t even read the thread that you hijacked (I don’t think I did anyway… I don’t remember what I’ve read and what I haven’t read) If I could think of a really cool sig, I’d give you one right now. But I can’t think of really cool sigs. (That’s why mine suck) Let me think about it for a few days and get back to you, ok? I’ll find something good. (Or at least I’ll try!!!)
I wish I could do something about the rest. Taxes DO suck, and so do layoffs. And the endometriosis… I had a friend with it at my last job. I’m sorry. But I’m glad she’s feeling better.
And let me at those aliens. I’ll get them to give you your brain back!
well… This has to be one of the shittiest years of my life. my sister moved out (which IMPROVED our relationship) my parents are getting divorced, and it’s the NASTIEST divorce I’ve ever heard of, my mom fucked my neighbor (who was my best friend (42y/o) and hunting and fishing buddy) and school sucks royal ass because my teachers are pricks.
I think I need a hug?
Most definitely!
{{{Ad Noctum}}}
More on demand!
That really does suck, Blackclaw. I feel your pain. Taxes - bad. Medical problems - bad. People ignoring you on here? Real bad. You have my sympathies.
I’m sure if you had posted such a thread, all the ladies would have been all over ya. I haven’t fit in here yet either, but I think the way to go is flirt, flirt, flirt, and worry about other stuff later. (Like sounding intelligent. Someday I’ll do that, but not today.)
////Everyone else\\
I hope life improves for everyone.
Spider Woman, let me just say that you are totally awesome and wonderful and such a great hug giver! Even without needing it in particular this morning, this has just brightened up my day!
Thank you!!!
Thanks folks.
TruePisces is that my brain you have there? Funny I remember it being larger. It still fits! Those aliens won’t be messing with me anymore!
Blackclaw, might I suggest the following favorite quotes as possible .sig potential. If nothing else it might get a chuckle out of some of you, so it still fits.
<Hugs> to you all.
“Using words to describe magic is like using a screwdriver to cut roast beef.”
–Tom Robbins
“What I look forward to is continued immaturity followed by death.”
–Dave Barry
“The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds the most discoveries, is not ‘Eureka!’, but ‘That’s funny…’.”
–Isaac Asimov
I’m reading this great book:
How to Catch a Tiger by Claude Bauls
Self Denistry by Ima Driller
Home Eye Exams by Dr. I.M. Blurd
–Verrain
Verrain,
Thanks for the suggestions. I really like you own sig the best actually. I think I’m going to have to stop trying to push my sig responsibility off on others and step up to the plate and steal my own.
Well you are more than welcome to steal my .sig. That’s how I got it.
And now the prerequiste thing to make this on topic, a joke.
A lawyer’s dog, running about unleashed, b-lines for
the local butcher shop and steals a roast off the
counter. The butcher goes to the lawyer’s office and
asks, “if a dog, running unleashed, steals a piece
of meat from my store, do I have a right to demand
payment for the meat from the dog’s owner?”
“Absolutely,” the lawyer responded.
The butcher immediately shot back, “Good! You owe me
$7.99 for the roast your dog stole from me this
morning.”
The lawyer, without a word, writes the butcher a
check for $7.99. A few days later, the butcher,
browsing through his mail, finds an envelope from the
lawyer.
The contents read “Bill for consultation: $25.00.”
Thank you, TruePisces, for putting so eloquently all of my thoughts about this truly wonderful young lady…
[sub]I’d have quoted the entire post, but that tends to piss a lot of people off.[/sub]
TP, you are fast becoming one of my favorite posters here.
Only what’s the truth. But I’m glad to see more people think it. Now if we can just get FALCON to realize it too!
[sub]Are you listening, my friend?[/sub]
blush But I’m not doing anything!
