  Walking down the deserted street, the abandoned dry goods store Grandpa once owned took me down memory lane.

  Thanks, my dear friends, for your concern!

  I'm all right, but wishing recovery were faster. My heart was damaged, so it's taking time. Not that I'm complaining!

  Love to you and yours.

  Verbs in English can be in the indicative, imperative, or subjunctive mood. We use the indicative mood when we state a fact, opinion, or question; most sentences will be in the indicative mood. We use the imperative mood for commands and the subjunctive mood when explicitly referring to an unreal or hypothetical situation or when expressing doubt.

  Thanks, GrreatTeacher and Hairtrigger, for your replies.

  Hope the above information helps, GT. The subjunctive -- expressing desire, uncertainty, importance, etc. -- is less employed today, certainly in conversation. Re: the hypothetical scenarios you referred to, I will look further. Did you read specifically about hypothetical situations and non-use of that verb form? Use of the subjunctive indicates what may be contrary to fact [hypothetical?], nevertheless, wished for by the protagonist. I insist that you not worry!!!

  You're quite a match for Nancy, HT!

  Thanks again.

  "in" Family driving me crazy on social media

  by freemindfade in

  does any other fader who maintains a minimal connection to preserve family ties have this issue:.

  i post something on ig, facebook whatever.

  and from my super zealous family i get preachy posts.

  Yes, freemindfade, I understand. 

  I usually say nothing, but when there are judgmental attitudes, I kick in, putting my "correction" in WT terminology that the most die-hard JW cannot refute (especially when an uber-JW spouts 'sinner so-and-so had his chance and I know Jehovah's mind on this!'). 

  Also, I like to quote from publications on lame assertions that are based on the current mindless, ever-vacillating theology. 

  If you want to comment at all -- and that's a big WANT TO -- you have to use their bases of reference and understand where they are coming from. A left-handed version of theocratic warfare, I guess.

  I do feel your pain!

  If you are single and have married friends, . . .

  is your sense of loneliness (if you are lonely) heightened when you see what they share?

  how do cope (if you are coping) with a sense of isolation, of not having a significant other?.

  i know some single persons who are very happy as they are.

  Thank you, my friends, for answering my questions, often in detail! I don't feel so alone now.

  Loneliness doesn't necessarily mean sadness. Singleness can be a choice. Married couples often are miserable . . .

  Love,

  Thank you, Magwitch, Holden and Stan, for your perspective: enlightening, to say the very least.

  I'm already seeing that my own situation has hardly been intolerable. I manage on all levels, and I acknowledge your comments on the difficulty inherent in relationships, even when there is good compatibility.

  Gratefully,

  Thank you, Doc.

  I, personally, can relate to what you have written. Some have not tried again, however.

  Hope springs eternal?

  I know some single persons who are very happy as they are. Likewise, I know some miserable couples. We all know what the apostle Paul said on this subject so I'll skip that!

  Your thoughts and personal experience are welcome, whether YOU are a couple or you are single.

  Thanks.
