My personal favourite: “It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England. It took the Americans only three hours to get home. This seems unfair.”

Losingit,
I went through an awful, awful time once. It lasted for a few years. Very emotionally traumatic. I'm quite amazed I survived it. At times, all I could do is to remind myself "just breathe." Some days, putting one foot in front of the other seemed near impossible. So..."Just breathe" worked -- I focused on that.
Also, when things would get quite difficult, I would have a cup of tea. It may not have made anything any better but the way I look at it, it couldn't hurt any.
If you find yourself teetering, perhaps have that cup of tea. It may not make anything better, but at least you will have had a cup of tea.

by Hortensia inrode over to the farmer's market with a couple of neighbors, nice women, seem sensible.
the driver stopped in the middle of a block and stared at the coca-cola truck that was parked there.
she said, "do you see the round tower?

Hortens,
She sounds interesting, and fun to hang around! A lot more fun than your average, dull as dishwater person who complains regularly of being bored. At least she has towers and gypsies to busy herself.

Losingit,
Go into survival mode. What must you do to survive? Paperwork is essential to your family's future? Get it done whether you want to or not, whether you can bare the thought of it or not. Don't focus on what you want or don't to do right now. Do what must be done, however unpleasant or seemingly impossible.
Hugs to you.

Demons in a coffee shop? How would you react?
by laverite ini just saw this very short two minute video -- brilliant.
it's gone "viral" on the interwebs/nets.
i couldn't help but imagine that if a jw had been in this coffee shop, s/he would have been screaming "jehovah!

Hello to my favourite Outlaw/Laughing Doggie! It really IS messed up. I couldn't help thinking that if I had been there when this went down when I was a JW, I'd have fainted right on the spot. I was terrified of demons and constantly worried about being attacked. I wouldn't have had the strength to scream "Jehovah!" I am sure. I'd just have lost consciousness due to fear. As a JW, I was a drama queen especially in regard to anything to do with demons. Now, I am just a gay superhero so I've lost that particular fear.
