On this post you like something I wrote. It came from a workshop I did based on the book - Loving What Is by Byron Katie. She is tough on people taking responsibility for how they are feeling. Don’t try and blame it on what someone else did to you. Here is a link to her website. I thought it could be helpful for your friend. http://help.com/account/read-notice-2…
I do think his answer to the pastor was a little pathetic. I don’t think he should have put himself in that situation in the first place. But since he did, why isn’t he complaining (or having others complain) vehemently about the “cone of silence” thing?! I agree with the article that he must not be overly polite! Although I really appreciate that about him … He has the danger of being Kerry-esque.
Hmmm, intriguing. Email away! I’m leaving right now for lunch though …
I think friendship in general is more important than war. :)
Later, Ames … I still love your avatar. It’s so 50s-ish. Did you know I’m a graphic designer too?
Oh God, it’s all too amazing. Yes McCain was cute - then – but so what? That doesn’t make him a hero, and neither does being a POW. Have you read this? http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2…
I know I’ll never change Fizz’s mind, and I’m vowing to never try again. I got riled up there!
I’m glad you and Maximina appreciate some of my posts.
Happily ever afters are inspiring! :) We all deserve one of those. Yes things are a little hetic and about to get worse, but all is still good. A certian guy asked me out, but we are going to wait a few weeks. I talked with him for about two hours tonight. There is something absolutely adorable about him. I just hope the chemistry we have over the phone translates into something in person. Talking to him is so comfortable and we could talk for hours and hours.
Most of the week I had sleep issues, so I can relate. I don’t think I will get much sleep tonight. The wedding you went to sounds absolutely beautiful.
:D Hello Ames! I have to actually get up very early and go to work. Yikes. I need to do laundry and finish a project, but instead of doing these things I am here. How are you?
I am sooooo glad your day was blessed, that your heart was moved, that your tears were joy. The hand of God my friend, is in everything. He resides in us!
Sometimes floaters are a sign of migraines. Do you feel any other symptoms?
He was only 18. He was seriously mentally ill. He was one of the sweetest guys you could ever meet. He was so loved and cared for by his mother and grandmother. My heart aches for them. He was in a lot of pain and always thought someone was out to get him, but at the same time he was an extremely friendly and intelligent young man.
The internet guy is driving me crazy, because I have no idea what he thought of our conversation. He said he would call me when I get back from New York.
No I heard that one of the students who I was close to last year died. It is pretty devasating, but I am ok. He was an amazing guy. His poor family. I don’t know the details, except he died in his sleep of what looks like a drug overdose.
The sweet guy was great. We talked for over an hour.
hehehehehe… that is true… laughter gets me through… im doing ok.. a bit tired. a little sore.. but ill be ok… the moving is finally done.. nothing left to do.. thank god.. lol.. great big hugs..
I think you should stick with the humor-ish cartoony theme. I think it is fitting for your personality. When you are finished with that you can make another one that shows off your retro style. You just need to take a couple days to yourself to finish it.
Hahahaha! We have been sharing shouts for ever, probably for almost a year, but I never thought you were a guy. I once made a post to make sure people knew I was female.
I would love to see one of those self portraits. How cool!
His voice makes him less a concept and more a person. I actually am so silly, I had my sister and sister-in-law listen. The both thought it was cute because he sounded a little nervous. If he only knew I was talking to my friends online about him. Luckily he thinks I am a confident woman and not some person who is obsessing about him. I asked him in an email on Friday what he was thinking about the situation. His response in an email yesterday was that everyday he checks his email hoping there is something from me. I am just worried because now I feel that my expectations are rising and my heart is in it.
It sounds like you are having a nice evening! My whole week has been crazy busy and I don’t think it is going to stop being that way for a while.
Hearing his voice makes him human, so I am very glad I sent him my number. We will see how my conversation goes with him tomorrow. He did sound adorable, so I am quite nervous!
I am looking forward to hearing your responses to my email, especially because I was so honest. I am hoping you don’t think I am insane now. It may have been the most open an honest email I have ever written.
BTW, you should read my shout trail with Florie. We were just talking about you.
Congrats! I am glad you can breath and feel proud of yourself. I am doing good. That guy called me earlier, so I have at least heard his voice, but I didn’t talk to him. I just got a message. I had a crazy busy, but good day.
Hehe no, other people know the candidates better than I do. But I am pro-Obama, and as usual there are a lot of fighting with misinformation and irrelevant info in those posts.
Well, things will sort out.
Though I made my decision, I think. The job is nice, but I need another owner. Failing to get that, I look for something else.
I guess you may be right about stress and airplanes too. I’ll be OK.
Yes, I fully agree.
But the thing is that I got the job through Manpower exec recruiters, and I did not even know that they owned it by extension until later on. And they did not know that I applied, because that process was kept in this company and not in their.
But once they learned that I was here, he started to intervene in the day-to-day decisions. It affects the operations badly, and my personnel is complaining about it. I need them to trust me, but I am compromised by this relation.
Hehe, on top of the whole thing I developed pneumonia today. It started by ear blocking, then sneezyness and sinus problems, and now I am coughing up stuff I would rather not describe. A bit of fever crowns the thing.
It is not a good day…
I am basically fine, but I think I’ll quit my job. It is a pity, because the job itself is very funny.
But I am a relative to the owner (well, the owner of the company which owns this company), and he is putting his nose into things he does not understand and tries to steer in ways I don’t believe in.
It gives me an impossible situation, because I don’t want to work with things I do not believe in.
He is in for the quick bucks in a more increasing speed now when he is approaching pensionist age, and that hurts the quality image of our company. Sweden have higher production costs than most of our competitors have to face, so our niche must be our quality.
But we will see what I am doing six months from now…
Hehe, if you have any idea, give me a shout!
I think I wrote you a novel. It might be the longest email I ever wrote. :) I am only here a few minutes, because I had a very long day and my 10 year old niece from Idaho is staying with me for a couple days.
I know, it’s useless to even bring it up. It’s amazing what has happened to our Constitution, our culture (hah!), our society & our world (although somehow I think it’s mainly America, among the so-called “first world” countries, that is so lame and getting lamer). Aaarg, I’m in a black mood. I’ve gotta get a grip.
