I joined this forum I think about 3 years ago and left because it got way to intense and I was taking everything to personal. I came back I hope older and wiser. I hope this time will be different.

Share one or two interesting things about you we probably didn't know

we have such an interesting group of people from around the world on this board.

it might be interesting to have a thread where you discuss a hobby, something interesting that happened in the past, somewhere you've been, etc.. not deep, dark confessions - just interesting stuff.. .

* i have travelled into all 48 american states that are not named alaska or hawaii.. * for the past few years, i have had a slight walking impairment due to a form of arthritis known as ankylosing spondylitis.

This is a fascinating thread. I realized that nothing about me is interesting except my family. They are interesting.

My biological dad is a Sax player in Cajun French Bands and was asked to play with George Strait once.

I have a brother named Cannon.

My husband is a comic book / Science Fiction/Fantasy Cover artist. We go to Sci Fi Conventions around the United States to talk to authors.

I had Epilepsy that mysteriously went away over night, and never came back. The doctors have no idea why.

Your favorite Sunday breakfast

since i am about to partake (*smile*) in my favorite sunday breakfast, i thought it would be fun for everyone to describe their favorite breakfast here.. sunday breakfast was always a big deal for my family and growing up, it was the one day and time that we actually sat together had breakfast and talked about our week and sat for a good hour or so just catching up with each other.. for over 20 years, this breakfast consisted of bacon, sausage (kielbasa or italian), biscuits, eggs (cheese or plain), and grits.

to this day, i still feel it's a special nice time.. do share, i thought it would be fun to see other people's traditions on sunday breakfast....

this is just a post to see if anyone else feels how i do.

have any of you ever in response to a situation you didnt' feel you could control just feel like packing a bag and taking off without telling anyone where you are going and starting over completely fresh and away from your past?

it is so tempting.

Avishi - That would be so cool, a place we could pick out everything new about ourselves

Cog -Thanks again, I'm a "fixer" so I will look into those books and try to learn something new.

Thanks for all the responses I will really listen and consider the advice.

Thanks cog, I"m going to check out that book. The one thing that keeps me here is that I"m afraid I'd run away and make exactly the same mistakes over again because I didn't learn anything. I'm programed to make the same screw ups till I fix myself.

I'm guess I"m embarrassed that I don't feel I have the strength to make the changes necessary. I need to reach deep and stand up and change things. But my one thought is, if I win, will I like what I've won? Is it really worth it?

It is so tempting. I have a husband I love, a father that needs me, but a life that I don't feel that I can change in any good way. It would hurt to leave everything, but it would solve a lot of problems. Just think about it. Starting completely over. Even changing your name, in a place you've never been before. Tempting?

Smoking = Disfellowshiping is it justified?? Do you do it now?

by Witness 007 in

isn't smoking just as bad as "defiling the body our temple" with alcohol or drugs legal or illegal?

if i have glucoma will i be disfellowshiped if i smoke pot, since it is a doctor perscribed treatment?

those who smoke how do you justify ruining your health and finances?.

yumbby

I don't understand it. My dad was a witness for about 28 years, left, married a worldly woman and started smoking at 52. I think that is just crazy. Course he started smoking in response to her death... I guess that could explain it. But now he's 62 and a chain smoker.
