I actually look forward to my forties and fifties... and sixties and seventies... and...

(I don't look forward to the physical ailments that go with, mind you, but the experience and peace that come with greater knowledge, yes - also, my husband mellows out a little more each year)

Hey Sylvia..

I found some pigtails after you mentioned them..

They were good!..Yum..

I told ya!

I used to get off the school bus after the long, long ride from school and race home to a feast of pig tails, pinto beans, sweet potatoes, and cornbread.

That was as close to Paradise as it gets!

OK, back to MLE.

You wear khakis? Duh!

That could be a contributing factor to your jitters - mixed-up identity.

White men wear khakis.

UC, I'm being honest I just can't imagine being any older than I already am. Call me shortsighted I don't know, maybe its the JW upbringing influencing me. Maybe it is boredom from the job, it is pretty repetative. I never understood the humor in the film Office Space until I started working here.

Hey LostGen, thanks for your thoughts. Maybe it is conscience man, I don't know. I mean with the exception of this forum, the relgion really wasn't on my mind today. I'm glad you said it happens a few times a year to you too. Not that I'm glad you go through that, but glad this isn't rare.

Blondie, I'm trying to get a positive attitude in life. You sound like my father, he says I can be overly negative at times. My outlook can be pretty crappy at times. This is different though, because there's nothing specific on my mind. Its like a void.

Tec, I'll try that. Right now I feel a lot better, but I had to say something to somebody before it passed. I just had to analyze this with somebody elses input.

Syl, whats wrong with brothas wearing khakis? I bet Denzel wears them!!!!

Outlaw, I have to say out of all the comments yours scared me the most. Being honest, it frightens me to see the years go by. I never thought I'd be in my thirties. I just can't fathom it. Now that I'm in my thirties, I don't know where I'm going, where I headed to, if I'm in the right or wrong direction, or what. Life has a sick way of reminding you how little you can be at times.

It sounds like you're just having an "off" day. I get those all the time! I don't mean to be the preacher of the group, but the cure all for my "off" days is a thankful prayer and reading some of God's word. It never fails

*Yes, I hear all the groans from the audience. But you guys love me because I'm honest*

I couldn't find any pictures of him wearing khakis.

Seriously, though, it's probably the cognitive dissonance kicking in high gear.

I used to feel that way on Thursdays (meeting night).

The best to you, Breh.

Amen.

Especially the psalms.

David and Asaph really take it to the house.

I think the years do go by in the Borg and you look back and think 'well what the flickerty flack have I achieved.'

Week in, week out it's the same old thing, the same old routine, just the same old same old.

Pity you can't hop off the Borg bus.........maybe one day ay!

Hi, miseryloveselders. If this episode bothered you enough to write about it on the board, then something is stirring under the surface. Like one of the posters mentioned, I think you may be having very mild panic attacks. Changes, disenchantment and boredom, uncertainties and worries, and hormones (even men) can rear up in your consciousness suddenly and make you feel all out of whack. I, too, believe in prayer, but not the way the JWs taught me.
