Apart from that I've had a few things happening which I haven't shared with the board but which have been totally awful (deaths basically, plus health concerns for me)
Sirona,
You know we are all here to listen if you want to elaborate. I'm sorry you are having a bad time.
I think that everything does happen for a reason which is not very comforting if we don't know where our path is leading us. When things are going bad for me, it is usually many things at one time in a big lump of terribleness. Each time, after the smoke clears, I have changed into a better person, having a crash course in life's lessons. Hope you have a better day...
Love Nancy

Dear Sirona
Just for you and also
You have been one of the biggest reasons my skeptic side has been kept at bay. Your openness and honesty about the different paths you have taken and were opened to you after you decided to leave the borg. All the things you have experienced..especially the unexplained makes me wonder and hope that there really is something else. Guess what..sometimes without that little bit of hope the prospect of going on isn't that great. Some of the history you have shared reveals a woman who has endured more at your tender young age than what many endure in a lifetime...or two for you non skeptics. To see you accomplish what you have gives me and others hope that somehow we can muddle through the messed up times in our lives as well. This past spring and early summer you had so many wonderful things happening for you...pull out those photo albums...those days will come again.
There is a song which gets airtime on the radio here in Canada right now, Two shots of happy, One shot of Sad.....sometimes it seems more like Two shots of Sad and one shot of Happy.
To answer your original question...sometimes problem after problem arises because of the decisions we make, we try our best and that's all we can do. I don't believe there is a cosmic conspiracy to even out the good with the bad or a force trying to make us stronger by giving us adversity..unless you consider fast food joints a conspiracy united in raising cholesterol...may they rot in sheol (disclaimer..sheol is term used to describe the common grave of all mankind).
Things could be alot worse Sirona, as you look through those photo albums you'll see Valis...imagine being born with a mug like that.
Hope your feeling alittle better in a day or two.

So how do fastfood joints rot in "the common grave of all mankind"?
Now if you're telling me that common folks are very grave when smoking a rotten joint, you may well have a point... -
