Reply to Just More Boring Stuff in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Man, I can't begin to imagine what kind of pain you must have been in! Really am sorry about it. I realize you were'nt hinting about the money thing, I just reallly felt touched by your situation and wanted to help. The hardest part for me with not driving, for a living, was that I made the mistake of my job becoming my identity. That's who I was, Katy the busdriver, so I was messed up, with feeling like I was worthless, (it almost de

Reply to Just a smile... in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

Gee....I think most people smile at others out of human friendliness, a smile from a stranger can be another way of greeting someone. If someone is looking at me and thinking I got what I deserved, chances are they're sneering at me! But then....how would I know just what they're thinking?? just because they're sneering??? maybe they have a mosquito up their nose! Seriously though, where I come from, people ARE nice, and usually do say h

Danny: I tried to hi-lite your response to # 8, but couldn't make it work.... My older sister had told me onetime to "write my stories", and she kept nagging and nagging.... I finally got disgusted and just plain said "what for? who cares? who'll read them, I doubt if even my son that loves me dearly will bother" To which she wisely replied, " you don't get to choose who reads them or know who reads them" and so it goes....you

Reply to What are your favorite TV show theme songs? in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

One of my all-time faves is Bonanaz. Also Cheers brings back memories of working days and Friday nights out after getting paid.. Mash theme brings tears as my daughter was a baby then and hearing the theme starts the memories flowing. The theme from taxi of course really fits my family as we were in the taxi business in the 80's. Btw, if you type Bonanza into Goggle, there's

Reply to Flying Cows and Floating Rocks in Misc JoeUser Forums

The best lesson I took out of this presentation is that I need to be real and genuine. I love to be myself because I am a really happy person and love to smile and I think that makes other people happy too. You're darn tooting right on this! People can sense a phony a mile away, and being genuine brings out the best in others. Being happy truly does infuse others' with your mood and is a gift to them from you. Way to go.

Nicky: Just the way you so wonderfully describe all of her assets tells me you love her deeply and she'll know and feel that too. Your love for her will guide you in getting through this. As smart as she is it's probably frustrating to her to have a weaker area, and hence her calling herself stupid. My son felt really bad when a socialworker one day referred to him as disabled, and I just told him that all of us, everyone has a
