  Once again, a belated posting.

  Any comments would be welcomed, particularly regarding the apparent lack of magnification of Jesus' garment as viewed through the crystal orb.

  Greetings, Jayk:

  Wishing you success with your new "life."

  Of course you feel like something is missing, you just lost your family because of the religion, a job isn't going to replace that, even for an introvert. -- LisaRose

  Yesterday, and quite by accident, I ran into a relative by marriage (Thanksgiving, USA). He has recently lost his family (my family by blood) and said there is no closure, given the circumstances. It is not about religion. He's really broken up yet told me about his new friends, some of whom I met (street people).

  Like him, I've had to make new "family" because mine have abandoned me. Weird but good, having dinner last night with new friends, all their family there, loving and hugging and sharing. My relative and I have that in common . . . and you, too, now . . . making new family.

  Hang in there.

  i am comforted by the realization that my little life has not been lived totally in vain.

  there's been a lot of good stuff come my way.

  most of my mistakes were not life altering.

  Just returned from uptown; mission was aborted because the sale item a friend sent me for doesn't go half price till 6:00 p.m. (pre-Black Friday). Sure as heck ain't going to brave the frenzied crowds on Friday!

  So, a little put out, I wandered the streets -- all the shops were closed -- and "shopped for windows." Some dude wheeling a cart yelled out to me. It was my nephew. He had a sad story to tell (one in which I was long involved). We were on a thoroughfare busy with street people.

  It was pretty enlightening to hear how they manage their state of homelessness/reduced opportunities. We had a great interchange, and I learned they were all cared for re: food -- some four local T'giving meals in the offing. They were all mostly upbeat. I'm old enough to be their grandpa, and, of course, I shared a bit of grandfatherly wisdom!

  I couldn't fix their problems, but we all acknowledged most of us are having a rough ride. Still, the weak are helping the weaker . . .

  . . . ignoring collecting boxes in shops because 'Jehovah will take care of that'. Ordinary people took care of it, people who put me to shame. -- Xanthippe

  Thank you, X, for that reminder of where many of us once stood. Now, we try to make up for opportunities lost.
  

  Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! -- LV101

  Likewise, to you, LV, and everyone else!
  

  Those are certainly words to live by aren't they? -- Closer to Fine

  We're all working on that, CtF! Thanks.

  Live long and prosper -- zeb

  You, too, Z! May your day be free of incident.
  

  Blessings and Peace, dear friends!

  my eyes, fixed steadily upon cheerful passersby on the street below, peer through dark curtains.

  in contrast to my placid self, these happy souls are at peace with the world.

  not so long ago, i was a companion to all, democratic in the society i kept.
