Earlier today, I started thinking about a family fight that happened several years ago. It made me mad how my Christian mom sided with wrongdoing. All because she was so worried about a bratty family member not getting her way and the brat threatening to never speaking to my mom again. And then my mom had the nerve to falsely accuse me of something because I spoke the truth! It hurt so much.
I'm really sorry to hear that. I will keep you in prayer.

I don't like long posts. If they are longer then the length of my phone i don't read them. Most people can get there post across with few words. Sermons i don't mind because i love the subject.:)

In other news, I was inquiring recently about getting myself a class ring from when I completed my diploma program in 2019. I contacted the point woman from the bookstore and gave her the details and obtained my size from a local jeweler as these were online classes taken from a university from well out of town. I was dismayed when the cost came to some eight hundred bucks with taxes and shipping costs included. :( I could probably come up with that kind of money, but I don't know how justifiable it is as an expenditure for something that would be mostly a keepsake. I had to back out, but I still find myself wanting it anyway. :(
I'd be willing to contribute to that cause. You worked so hard and long with little appreciation and you're such a nice person. I am sure there are many of us that would like to sponsor your ring to celebrate your accomplishments. Seriously, i hope someone can figure out how to pu it together. I don't have the brains for it but will be glad to open my wallet. Keep going strong:)

Holidays can bring sadness to those that are alone sometimes especially with no family. Some how they need to be reminded they are loved. If you feel that way know that there is always someone that cares.

@Mikhael I was serious. I was thinking PayPal or one of those but it would have to keep your identity private. If you think of s way to transfer money let me know..

I do believe you were serious. But my problem isn't so much a lack of money so much as it is what the money would be used for. I'm wanting the ring mostly as a keepsake of my time in that program, not something I plan to wear on a regular basis. I just think the eight hundred bucks could be better spent than for one very expensive souvenir, if you get my drift. If it were like a wedding ring that would get worn every day, the money would be more justifiable, imo. I do thank you for your offer, though. That was very nice of you. :)

I am a pariah still, and am isolated, mostly from my choices as I have things I should still do and would not die just yet as far as I can help it, still with COPD that I would die from, though never a smoker, so I don't go where many people will be, I no longer go anywhere to work, I don't drive still, just writing where I am, and not going to church anymore, and seeing anything just online. I have hardly any money anymore, and things put in storage that I can't bring out now is draining me because of high increase of the fee for that in recent times, more than double what I was paying under the terms at the start. I don't see how I will go with these things.

I don't really like myself that much. I wish I was a better person. :(:(

Some days I am able to like myself, but other days I just wish I could be like the Female Characters I create. They are righteous, loving, and have beautiful hearts.
