I think that the fact that you are even able to function in any way at all is miraculous.
The fact that you are such a kind, caring, smart, well-spoken person despite what you've been through is wonderful. You deserve a medal - a wonderful medal made of lovely colourful, sparkley chrystals covered with magic flowers & butterflies, that are always fresh & happy.

it's an effort I tell ya, but I know there's all types of tough experiences we all live through

thanks kath, but it might not fit with my cynical and generally pessimistic demeanor ;-) I'd love to exorcise some demons (so to speak). Funny though, I wear medals kind of...but they are just symbols of what I need, courage, serenity etc.
thanks Kath :-)

yes, there is something good sometimes about detachment
if you know it will suck you in you just have to leave it alone

> You know, actually, it makes me angry. I think that other people can do a better job of keeping their venom in check.
It's great that you don't want others to get hurt. And posting that you're angry is fine. But could you please not post anything that could lead others to feel accused? Snakes have venom...
But please don't take this personally, either, this doesn't mean I don't like you or think you're a bad person, and I'm sorry if this hurts you.
More information about posting policies and tips on alternative ways to express oneself are in the FAQ:

http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#enforceFollow-ups regarding these issues, as well as replies to the above post, should of course themselves be civil.
Thanks,
Bob

Snakes eat rats.
Cats eat spiders.Snakes are friends of farmers.
And so are cats.

Wild, but true! I'll post a video of a cat hunting and eating a spider on social.
Your pup's smart, Phillipa - worms are high in protein. Hmmm...dried worm jerky. :)Ava

it slithered into class and right under that table we all sat around
I climbed underneath and gently put it into a bucket and brought it outside......but I digress
I apologize. I suppose the venom/snake metaphor is a poor one.
I just can't take the hostility, coming from no one person in particular, but from many different people.

> I just can't take the hostility, coming from no one person in particular, but from many different people.I wish there were less hostility, too. But hostility is part of life. But apologizing afterwards like you just did can at least temper its impact. Thanks,
Bob

LOL!My apologies to Bob and Obsidian for laughing as I mean no disrespect, but that is so funny!!
Imagine tweeting that...people might think it's from a Discovery Channel forum.
Thanks for pointing that out! LOL! I have an off-beat sense of humor...

LOL!And there are so many different kinds of snakes - depending on one's point of view.
Fill in the blanks from any point of view, and it's all still very funny...LOL!!
I can't stop laughing about it. LOL!!! I think the heat's finally gotten to me.
G*d, I'm in dire need of shredding down the slopes.

I certainly don't think so sid.
I was shocked to hear you ask that & couldn't for the life of me figure out why you would ask that!
((you))
luv, Kath
PS - have people told you you're weird?

In reply to am I weird?............ tell the truth, posted by obsidian on July 27, 2009, at 18:34:45
What brought this up?
To tell the truth, I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would say such a thing. You are, of course, unique. What is the definition of weird, anyway? Is it possible that some people are uncomfortable with your uniqueness? If they are, I am sure they represent a minority of people intolerant of people who are different.
Do you feel that you are different?
In what ways?

Sid,I'm going to be completely honest with you.
I think you are a sweet genuine person. And I appreciate your openness and honesty in all of your posts.
You are not weird...and if my laughing over the above posts have made you question this...I'm sorry :)
If anyone's weird - Well, that would be me. And I'm proud of it! Just ask my hot new therapist...poor guy's
already got his hands full! We can't get through a session without me cracking-up on the floor over the
irony and the madness of it all!I just happen to have a twisted sense of humor and find most everything funny. It's not what you wrote, but
how the threads happened to line up! LOL!I've always thought you would be just the sort of person I would enjoy hanging out with! ((Sid))

yeah, they do, but generally it seems to be in a likeable way, some people though, I really don't think they like me.

People laughing, I mean I know it's a weird post, but more than anything it just doesn't make a lot of sense

in the ways that I think, sort of vaguely and loosely sometimes
