As for me -- thinking is about all I do anymore, in my poor, little, pathetic cloister. Maybe the thinkers are the ones worse off. "Ignorance is bliss" and all that. Better to have a life lived than a life thought.... *SIGH* Somewhere in there is a balance I'm on one side of and most of the world is on t'other. <
i'm so glad you liked them, sally. i agree with your choices of faves, too. hehe. especially the stepmother one. hehe mig XX
You mean you don't really care? *SNIFF-SNIFF* oh, come now, smartaz. of course you aren't included in that statement. By the way, I keep meaning to start a greet
quote: "comparing a slur to even the most abombinable non-slur is never valid nor logical because at bottom line, none of us chooses the racial or ethnic group into which were born" king, you again have my admiration for your compassionate handling of a loaded issue. you are exactly right - i wish you could shout it from the rooftops - using descriminatory weapons in any battle says much more about the person making the slur than any si
excuse my lateness replying, muggy. i just wanted to thank you for sharing such insightful and hopeful thoughts at a time when they're most needed. long may you blog mig XX
Its like some people never use chop sticks because they have forks!!! exactly. thanks muggy mig XX
your metaphor really suited my mood today, j. i liked this mig XX
television greenfarie, do you hate the influx of reality tv ? No, my answer is money. If i were given more time i would use it working to pay for my daily expenses, but i
there are so many people who dream (often in vain) of having a situation like the one these two are so blithely discarding king, again you show the exact attributes you so kindly credit me with. i feel so well understood by you that i'd be spooked if you weren't so obviously magnificent <img src="../im
i despise greeting card verses. they assume that i am hoping to express my undying, lifelong respect and utter admiration for the recipient, when all i am actually doing is mailing something because it is expected ... despite the fact that everybody knows how meaningless i think that is. i would like to say something to the greeting card verse "auth
damn, this modern world is busy . loud . bright . it seems purpose built for people who require constant aural and visual distractions (assaults ?). it seems the more insular people themselves become, the more aggressive the garish, busy world becomes. nobody has any free mental space anymore. everywhere you go, your mind and ears and eyes an
Hey Mignuna aka crazy girl, right? *makes sure nobody else is looking* right !!!! mig XX
so make sure to only help horny old men i appreciate your smut-tinged concern, jesse my sweet. but selecting specifically horny old men would remove the "random" portion of the "random acts of kindness", no ? ...yet, i don't particularly want to get knifed by a 10yo, either. looks like i have t
phoenixboi, excuse my slightly late reply. but i just read this and really wanted to share something with you. i am a 35yo married woman. despite my sometimes overactive imagination, trying to imagine how a hiv-positive man a generation younger than i am might feel is like trying to tie my arm in a knot !!!! but i just read your article, and you know what ?. madpoet is right, you
as an australian, to know that the aids virus has claimed the lives of the equivalent of our entire living population is horrifying. those numbers are so immense, so terrible, that i was hoping i had misread. to put it another way, the aids virus has killed about as many people as chinas' population expands by each year. despite these alarming facts (i won't call them statistics, because they are facts), aids research seems to have taken a back burner

little_whip, it is very different here, you're right. we pay income tax, but monies are allocated on a state and then local level, and so on. employers are required to contribute around 7% of the average workers' salary into a superannuation fund to be preserved until retirement age 65, but no contributions are made towards any type of unemployment insurance. there isn't any set amount of time that unemployment benefits can be collected for, but of cou
Btw, after reading your article, I was left wondering were you laid the greatest 'blame' (if that's the right word), with your dad or with your step-mum? dune, i still can't say for sure. she is an educated and intelligent woman, so i assume she is aware of her actions. but my father doesn't seem to und
sally, king, oleteach, dune & muggaz ... i felt like the lowest worm alive for writing that article. i am an almost pathological peacekeeper, and for me to admit defeat takes an extreme situation. i expected to be misunderstood for my use of the word "hate" - and here i am almost overcome by the amount of genuine understanding i have have received from all of you. i can only say thankyou for helping me to find my way through the most damaging
my stepmother is a horrible woman. i know i shouldn’t say that, but i don’t care. it happens to be true. if this woman dropped dead tomorrow, my only regret would be that she got an easy “out” from the mess she’s made of my family. for the first time in my life, i actually hate someone, and it’s a terrible feeling. hate is my “court of last resort”. i
sally, thankyou so much for being so kind about my blog, your comments are always insightful and most welcome. i do visit you, but i have such a paranoia about over-commenting that it makes it look like i don't read much of anybody else's stuff !.there are blogs i read regularly - and yours is one of them when i first started on ju, i read a nasty article or comment ab
However, they also said i had "no good reason" to quit the OTHER job, the one that i worked 2 days at, and my claim was disallowed because of that little_whip, if there is anyone out there who still thinks that welfare recipients have it easy, or have a choice , i recommend they go see for themsel
I can't believe this...I tried to stop and fix the "n" and make it an "m" and of course it was too late. Talk about seeming to be a conversation crasher. I apologise for using this up for my stupid mistakes it's ok, illusivedreamer. i have done this before. the compulsion to correct oneself can be very
I think I may be too old and forgetful hehe join the club, illusivedreamer. (& never mind. i enjoyed your comment anyway) mig XX
