Reply to What's my problem stupid? in Misc JoeUser Forums

Neilly, You are way too hard on yourself, girl. You are the most earnest person I know, and the fact that you recognize that you are letting those thoughts or behaviors back in is monumental. You are not going through life half asleep like most of us. You see changes that need to be made, and you make them. You are such a strong, beautiful, and courageous person, and yet you are very hard on yourself. Life is full of much painf

Reply to I have pink hair! in Misc JoeUser Forums

Very cool. I did purple in high school and it was so fun. I'm not cool like that anymore, though. In fact, I drive a minivan. Many times I wonder, where did my cool go? If you happen to find it, would you please send it back my way?

So funny! I know an evil doer that deserves our attention: "Numbtoes" - a neighbor who didn't deploy due to a serious medical condition (two numb toes). His evil powers include the ability to mercilessly curse out a child who has the audacity to not finish an apple (we all know how very expensive those are!) and poor judgment of monumental proportions that drive him to dump his three

How sad. I think someone who hates lizards or tiny reptiles would have a difficult time living here. You cannot keep them out of your house. Unfortunately, you can't keep them from getting themselves killed, either. Thanks for the comment.

Reply to Gay WHAT??? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I posted a scripture a few posts up that, I feel, addresses the issue of public prayer (Matthew 6 : 5 - 6). It is important to note that God does not require or request prayers be made in a conspicious way. Public prayer can often turn into a "look at me, I'm so holy" type of thing or an opportunity for someone to give a sermon disguised as a prayer. No one can take away your right to pray. This is impossible. I have a Christi

. . . and this is why I haven't had a haircut in over a year. I don't trust the people off the base, and I fear the ones on the base. I feel your pain.

Reply to Terrible, horribly bad sermons in Religion JoeUser Forums

Here's my little "bad sermon" antecdote. I worship with a very, very small church, and much of it is military. With the exception of the minister and an elder, most of the men are gone. We wives are towing our children to church with our husbands in the middle east. Another woman is going through an unexpected and painful divorce. What I'm getting at is, out of all of us, we have TWO married couples in regular attendance who ar

Ravenblack: Thanks so much. Can't get enough of that good 'ol encouragement! Kingbee: It's nice to hear that I am not the only wretched human being who has been responsible for the slaughter of an innocent reptile. Maybe there is a support group we can join. Thanks for your comments.

Just as a side note, I thought I might mention that I received a strong reprimand from my 7 year old for writing this article. He felt that it was in poor taste to write about killing an animal (animals have feelings!) and he did not approve of my use of the word "ass". So for these things, I apologize.

mignuna: Thanks. I appreciate it. Tenille: Thank you. You know I just get in the mood to feel sorry for myself from time to time. It feels good to put into writing some of the emotions I am experiencing and the thoughts that go through my head. I am so glad to have your care and love. Dharmagrl: I

I just saw a tiny baby gecko scaling the wall from the bottom of the stairs to my bedroom upstairs. I hang my head sadly and wonder, when will they learn? Poor Daddy Gecko. He had a warning encounter, but he just kept coming back for more. <B

Reply to get him a dress in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

I enjoyed your post. So cute. It's a bit like little kids - only their mommies (and sometimes daddies) know what they are saying. My three year old talks pretty well now, but I used always have to translate everything he said. It all made perfect sense to he and I, though.

I'm in. I can be InsanelyUncoordinated-Girl and I can confuse evil doers with my pig latin and then accidentally trip over them until they are beaten into submission. And I think I'll have a pink cape. Sound good?

Reply to I can't stand it anymore! in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Some people enjoy making other people feel small and will take advantage of every opportunity to do so. Other people enjoy debate and discussion and want nothing more than learn and grow and help others to do the same. You should feel bright and confident, knowing that you belong to the latter group. It is good to question your beliefs. If they are solid, you will come out of it believing in them more strongly. If they don't stand up to the test,

Reply to My Beef with Beef in Misc JoeUser Forums

Dharmagrl: Sounds both fun and disgusting. I just have a personal grudge against snails. I don't know if I could eat if I ever traveled abroad. My parents used to lie about what was in things to get me to eat them (which is a whole 'nother story entirely) and tend to be generally mistrustful in regards to strange or new foods.

I understand your enthusiasm completely. Sonic is a delicous way to clog your arteries. I love their Cheddar Peppers and a number 2 burger minus the patty really hits the spot. And what's not to love about a giganitic Cherry Vanilla Coke (Diet if I'm being good that day). Unfortunately, Sonic does not exist here in paradise. Oh, they tease with commercials designed for their west c
