She is. Please take pity on her. She must deal with me ALL THE TIME!
I wonder why she always asks for overtime?
She does not have an avatar yet. Maybe we can give her some suggestions. She is thinking of a photo of herself. Personally I hope she uses a pic of Olive Oyl.

I am going to persevere.

adj - Proud of a scar on your body, an autograph signed to you by a world grateful for your continued willingness to play with her, even when you don’t feel like it.
This is important to me because I have scars, physical, mental and emotional, that bring back good and bad memories that are significant in my life; like a road map of who I was and how I got to where I am now.

Yes. He is a fellow Mainer, or Maniac which is my preference. A great writer and person.
Since King is a big baseball fan (Boston Red Sox), what is your favorite sport?

I'm thinking maybe you need to drop in on Roland, if he isn't too far away...
You are always welcome and please bring a date and a Mountain Dew for me.

Tonight I am planning a special dinner for my wife.
A tossed salad with fresh lettuce, baby tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers and sprinkled with cheddar cheese (yes really).
Then baked salmon, hot potato with chives and melted butter, and fresh green beans with a bit of lemon zest and garlic (a specialty of mine).
I am finishing it off with a German Chocolate cake I am secretly baking at my daughter's house.
I hope she loves it.

I wear florescent orange, pink or yellow shoe laces everywhere.

I remember watching Liza Minnelli live in NC when I was 14. I was working as an usher at the coliseum and we got to stand in the walk ways during the concerts. She was by far the most charismatic performer I ever saw.

No. Without pain there can be no growth. I want to keep growing, both emotionally and spiritually.

today i was in town and decided i wanted some pizza so i pulled into pizza hut. as i entered i saw a man on the curb holding a sign saying "will work for work", normally i just ignore these because they are usually druggies or drunks looking for their next fix but as i gazed into his eyes while passing i saw a sadness unlike anything I'd ever seen. as i ate i couldn't get that look out of my head so as i left i drove up close to him and asked if he was truly hungry or just wanted money for a drink. he replied, " maam i am starved". i invited him into my car, did a U-turn and invited him to get the pizza of his choice. he chose the cheapest pizza, a small, cheese pizza but i chose a large, 3 meat pizza. as we talked i learned he was a viet nam vet and had learned to be a television repairman but as tv got cheapr,finall lost his shop and ended up on the road. still a few years away from social security he was now homeless. seeing how hungry he was i ordered him another one, i was floored when he could save this one for his wife. i was honered when he said god bless
God bless you. As a fellow vet and advocate towards making homeless veterans a thing of the past, I applaud your kindness and charity. I pray it will be returned to you three fold.
Sorry, I did not do anything nice unless you include watching the premiere of the new season of Game of Thrones. I just wanted to say something about what Ginger did.

I grew up reading Dr. Seuss. I read him to my sons and grandchidren. His books and The Hobbit are the only book I know of that has stretched across three generations of my family and his writings still amuse us all.

Almost anything I like. I almost never like those thing that people call normal. I am weirdness personified.
I am a Christian and very spiritual. I believe in the loving, caring and inclusiveness that Christianity stands for, but not the hateful, bigotry or exclusiveness that many people have brought to the church. I do not flee in discuss, as many have, I stay and fight to win back the church to what it should be.
What is your view of God?

I'm tired of everyone seeing the mask I wear and not the fact I'm broken on the inside. I'm tired of being able to hide it so well most don't even notice. I am tired of having to put up walls so I can heal myself. I'm tired of feeling isolated either by others or myself. I'm just tired.
Most people do see it, but do not want to show that they do. Then they might get dragged into it. Remember that we are all broken and flawed in some way. In reality it is the only thing that everyone has in common.
I wish I could help you without seeming condescending or judgmental. I am always willing to listen. You are extraordinary and very special, but you still have flaws and imperfections that will tend to eat at your happiness.
Do not give up. You can overcome them, but unfortunately new ones will appear.
Remember this is actually a good thing. Without pain there is no growth. We all need to grow to become the person we want to be.

Many times I've tried to tell you
Many times I've cried alone
Always I'm surprised how well you
Cut my feelings to the bone
Don't wanna leave you really
I've invested too much time
To give you up that easy
To the doubts that complicate your mind
We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We belong, we belong
We belong together
Maybe it's a sign of weakness
When I don't know what to say
Maybe I just wouldn't know
What to do with my strength anyway
Have we become a habit?
Do we distort the facts?
Now, there's no looking forward
Now, there's no turning back
When you say
We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We belong, we belong
We belong together
Close your eyes and try to sleep now
Close your eyes and try to dream
Clear your mind and do your best
To try and wash the palette clean
We can't begin to know it
How much we really care
I hear your voice inside me
I see your face everywhere
Still you say
We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We belong, we belong
We belong together

Hell yes, but I understand why many members wish to remain anonymous.
How would you like to be forced into a mental ward 'for your own good?'

It really pisses me off when they bring you your check at a restaurant and it already has a gratuity included. When questioned they say it is required. In Dictionary.com, one of the definitions is 'something given without claim or demand.'
In other words not required. What they are actually asking for is a service charge.
I tell them to remove it or I will never return. It has been removed every time.
BTW my tip is always larger than they asked for. They never do it a second time.
