i used to live with many regrets, thinking that i'd screwed up.
recently, i've been thinking that regretting past actions is not constructive.
sure, we should base our current actions by assessing the results of our former actions, but regretting decisions we've made is, in effect, yearning to change the person we are now or rejecting ourselves.
I don't think I would.
I'm not happy with some of my life choices, but I don't really regret anything. Hell things could be worse.
I'm happy with myself and have learned to love myself.
If I had not made the chioces I did I would not be where I am today, and I'm happy with my life right now.
Plus I wouldn't have the two beautiful children I have today, they were worth all the heart ache and pain I've been through. And I would be prepared to go through it all again just 4 them.
found a long lost friend here on jwd?
i am happy to say i did.
it turns out one of our new posters here was my best friend when we were little.
no old friends but made lots of new ones.
here in quebec, ordinary unleaded is 94.4 cents a litre.
(that's the cheapest gas!!!).
there are 3.78 liters per american gallon, so this would give $3.57 a us gallon..... what's the price of gas in your area?
here it's about $1.12 a litre
by the end of the year they reckon it could be up to $2, yuck.
Might have to get my bike out of the shed.
Can only just afford to run my car now!!!!!!

was wondering what everybodies ideas were on cyber relationships and cyber sex.. are they safe, when is the right time to meet face to face and do they work.. have been having a close friendship with another poster on this board for a while, and was looking for input.
if he wishes to identify himself that's fine with me.. i know that a few marriages have occured from people meeting on this baord and was seeking their input too..
Thanks Jim,
Don't worry about the negativity, it's the reality of the situation and I'm enough of a realist to understand all that you said.
The same thought have been going through my mind as well.
I have no intention of trying to move my kids out of the country and have no intention of leaving them. It's not fair on them or their father, plus I love Australia too much to leave it.
As far as them moving here, we'll come to that rurdle when we get to it. Both of us do want to get remarried but are not about to jump into things with out eyes closed.
Australia is just about to ease it's immigration laws again as they have a need for skilled workers, so hopefully that will go in out favour. He's also from a country that Australia is happy to have people immigrate from, so that's a plus for us too.
Thanks for your thoughts and I will check up on those forums when the time comes, for now it's real early days, were just enjoying the close friendship for the time.
Thanks
Lehaa.
"but, but, i'm an atheist!
ah, another one.
i laughed the first thousand or so times i heard it, but it's gotten old.
I loved it, was fantastic, more more!!!!
Post some more if you want or pm them to me, would love to read some more.
i guess i will have to get used to that happening.
one of them was a black man that i played with when i was about 7 years old while my grandma studied with his grandma and mother.
they became jws.
I'm sorry for you losses. I agree mortality does suck.
My grandmother had a hard time watching her friends and neighbours die, it was hard for her.
I knew her neighbours quite well, she lived in a retirement village. When she died I went in to visit all her neighbours a few times and took the kids, took them all photos of her and little momentoes like that.
It just made it easier for them to cope, and it was very therapudic for me too

thanks evilforce.
a tease and a bitch he say's. We can all be one of those, isn't that what attracts a lot of men.
Badger, I totally agree, relationships grow and change all the time. I ;m a flexible and easy going kind of person who is not affraid of change at all. I love all stages of a relationship, exactly the same was that I adore each stage of my childrens life. I'm happy just to sit back and enjoy the ride.
look what i won!!!!!!!!!!!.

the journey being life, what have you discovered that you never expected to... could be a musician, actor, a movie, a type of food, a thought, a realisation, a religion, a thing about your personality or an emotion, a particular song... it could be anything really.... what have you discovered?
That I can survive outside
the family I gave up so much for are not willing to return the favour, and i don't really care
those that you thought would be there for you were the ones to run first
Those that you though would run have stuck around
and that true freedom and happiness does not lie in the org but outside.
and most importantly. Trust and believe in yourself. Do what you think is right, not what others think.
when i was df i decided to use the time wisely and read the insight books which is how i came across this
the armies of pagan nations often raped the women of conquered cities, but not so the victorious soldiers of israel.
nor were they permitted for a month to marry a captive woman.
Shaving her head and cutting her nails (by today's standards = getting rid of DNA evidence!)
funny i had exactly the same thought
tijkmo
is not rape and forced sex one in the same
