  Political Discussions

  by Heatmiser in

  i have been reading the previous posts today and have noticed some pretty heated depates on politcs with, rightfully so, locked threads.. all of us on this board come from many different countries with different forms of goverments and benifits.

  everybody thinks that they have the best and are willing to defend that view.

  i would hate to see any of us lose "friendships" on this forum over debates that have no winners.. i enjoy posts from everybody that is involved in these discussions and would hate to loose the insights they provide on every other issue besides politics.

  I guess having no talent means you have to boost your career in all sorts of tabloid grabbing kinds of ways...

  Miss Eyegirl and I have been spending a lot of time together. Probably too much for the safety of the human race. We have come to share a lobe (no, not liver lobes--besides that rat slippy already claimed dibs on all her liver lobes). It's good to find people on the same page as you. It's pretty rare.

  Case in point. After my dear albino sister went home I was watching a movie with my mom. A scene in the movie shows the main characters taking a boat ride and looking into the tree they see two owls on a branch. So I bellered and I quote, "HOOTERS!" as any red blooded American would. At this point Eyegirl usually spits her champagne all over herself while laughing at me. Instead, I was greeted with a deep silence from my mothers direction. I'm sure she's counting the days until my graduation. I giggled on the inside because damnit it was funny! And thought to myself, "No one gets me."

  I feel very lucky to know miss Eyegirl. As I am sure most of you long time posters know, she is my siamese twin who I was never conjoined to, who was born in different year, in a different part of the state, to different parents.

  I guess the older I get the more I realize finding people who get you, and I mean REALLY get you is tough. Especailly leaving such a wacky religion as many of us did. Finding people who can realate to tough family rules, no holidays, no traditions, fanatical biblical adhearance, and everything that goes along with that is tough. Not impossible just tough.

  Places like this help.

  But even more than that. It's even harder to find people who think like you. Who you know how they will react when you say something. Who know what your limits are. Someone you feel comfortable with.

  For a long time after I left the JW's I was convinced I would never find life-long friends like I had when I was a JW. I thought I was too old. People who have best friends have had them since they were little. I thought for sure there would never be anyone I could relate to again. I had condemned myself to a life of mere acquaintances.

  Lucky for me I have met people who I do bond with. Several here too. You people know who you are, and you do get me. I dunno if it's because I am feeling old, feeling hormonal, or it's the champagne remnants talking, but I have realized how valuable friends are. Good ones. Who get you.

  So my dear posters of JWD. I lift my glass to you and say Cheers!

  Have a wonderful new year filled with many friends who do get you.

  i'm absolutely stunned by this.. a bunch of girls - well, 30-somethings anyway - down the pub have admitted to rubbing hemorrhoid cream around their eyes so as to look younger.. apparently, the salve's shrinking properties is great to reduce eye-bags and crows feet better than anything on the market.

  it's also extremely cheap compared to facial creams.. anusol rules!.

  Of course there are patterns in things. I just have a problem when people assign random meaning to things...

  One of my college professors did the same thing with Miltons Paradise lost, but as he said it just became overwheleming and realized how stupid it was. Still he made some interesting insights into that text, but what are they worth?
