The thread truly is conceived from a desire to know how people feel about it. I'm really pleased about some of the discussion that it's sparked. I think this is valuable stuff, especially for those who are in the pendulum period of having become "unwired" from the borg.
Ross......I'm so glad that I didn't offend you! Although, I couldn't imagine how what I said would, I was worried that I'd somehow managed it! Sometimes I rush in where angels absolutely fear to tread. I kept checking in to see if you had replied. LOL........it figures that you are doing your bit of healing/therapy for the benefit of others, and I just want you to know how Sagittarian that is!!! LOL! I'm sure you do know how to handle yourself. Anyone who has the........ahem........cojones to wear a kilt should. Also you did mention you've been a waiter, and dealt with situations in that capacity. As far as my own situation, I have no shame in sharing. I figure if my life experiences can help others, something positive has come from going thru them. As one of my therapists used to say "life is a journey, not an event" and alot happens on that journey in life, and I don't like to label them good or bad anymore, they just are.
Smooches,
Terri
