Fear is but something to be overcome.
IJWTS if only my cowardness could be at a "neutral" phase...I suppose if I went to like an all-mens event or real church or something, lol.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

IJWTS-Mine is at neutral stage because now my hatred for this is blowing its lid because its the new year and I am not spending another year like this. Something will change...either way. Either it reconciles by a cooperation, or there will be no hope for 365 days. No hope is so much better than stalemated hope.

I think the culture will soon change and that may give me the opening I need to get something done....safe to say I now know the root of all my problems, but at the same time I feel like I'm powerless to do anything about it.

We'll see how my solution reacts because when I'm like this...I'm not known my 'lightness' or my ability to be 'amicable'. I'm just trying to restrain my colorful way of 'explaining' the situation.

IJWTS-Maybe in the end...doing nothing is best. I think it is time to turn in, finish my beer, eat some more chex mix and go to sleep. Looking forward to getting back to work after the holiday break.

IJWTS - sometimes my attitude borders on being uber disrespectful/scornful
or not
I dunno
So I'm at the animal welfare centre today, donating heaps and heaps of clothes (they were my former wifes - seriously about 20 hefty bags worth)
An immense, gargantuan woman sees little regard in blocking my path while she shops. No biggie...I just waited.
Then she badgers the little, frail old lady that's running the op shop to help her get a pram down...she wasn't nice about it - like a resentful "are you going to help??".
At this point I'm starting to wonder if my choice of charitable venue is apt. Not that any of the clothes would fit that woman...but I wondered if I really want someone like this woman getting them for super cheap prices.
This woman was carrying a little infant. I was thinking "what a cow(her size, her attitude)...who would impregnate this woman???"
*Sigh*...The one encouraging thought I had is that I knew this was the perfect place to give away clothing...all the proceeds go to help injured/stray animals - which is what Carolyn would have wanted.

If Carolyn wanted that, I think you should have looked passed what the woman did and just brushed it off. People have bad days, and good days, and if she did that one moment doesn't means she is that kind of a person. Calling someone a cow is not a nice thing to say Strav.

IJWTS: Some people are too thoughful for their own good. My sister's husband only told me today that my sister had a miscariage on 1 January. Says he didn't want to spoil my holidays ...
Continued prayers.

Ok guys, enough about this sorry for me stuff already.
I've talked to my sister several times now and she says she is now fine. I just wish her husband had told us in time so we could have been with her. I guess he meant well since I was having the holidays with the parents but I still think he should at least have told me and then I'd have been the judge of whether to tell the parents then or not. He is not usually this thoughtless but I guess he was also going through a tough time and so I should probably forgive his misjudgement.
Actually explaining things out like this is helping me see the picture better ...
But yes, enough with the sorrys, unless you are female and are offering hugs
