who/what/where did you go away to?

by nowisee in

if exjw, who/what/where did you go away to?

what was greatest factor in your decision?

if jw, what are you seeking?

First of all.... I have never met a more kind group of people in any one place or time, than I have found here... I am starting to feel really guilty for the length and content of some of my posts. I have never known what a sense of belonging to anything other than my wife felt like. You have all made me feel very welcome and relaxed.... so if I tend to babble sometimes... please consider me just some guy sitting in your living room, or on the corner of your bed, making conversation. I never mean to push myself or my opinion on anyone.

Tex, I am afraid some would consider me far from keeping my sanity. If I am not painting or with my wife, you will often find me fifty or sixty feet in the air. Sitting in the treetops, listening to the birds, and contemplating our existence. I have always sort of been a watcher of the world, My wife knows when she cannot find me... to just wander in the woods, and look up. It is almost funny to watch her far below........

I dont think I could ever be bitter at the world.... I Dont know why exactly... I guess its just not in me to hate. Hate is a waste of energy, and that is something I have always had to use sparingly.(although I really do hate prunes.... gross)

As an artist I do murals, with acrylics mostly. Usually the smallest picture I will paint is four feet by four feet... a half sheet of ply wood. But I have toyed with smaller ones. I will paint anything. If you need a seven foot tall Pope John Paul, standing naked next to a purple bunny rabbit... I will do it for the right price. But I do alot of stuff just for the heck of it. Mostly the human condition..... My favorite subject is motherhood. Dont know why... fascinated by the female of the species.

I sculpt... dig my own georgia red clay right out of the woods.

I also work with an ad agency designing logos for restaraunts and businesses.... that is only in the last few years... my stuff is on business cards, menu covers, t shirts, and ink pens, ... but that stuff is still kinda new to me. ........ ummm play the flute... piano...

and that is about the extent of my personality.... in short.... I havent got one.

Will gladly e mail, a photo of a painting, or two... I have some good ones that I would like to share with certain members of this site...but the dangers of posting email addresses run rampant. Mine is in several of my posts.. so if I can ever help anyone... or if for some reason you are coming to georgia, and are in some kind of really bad bind.... just let me know. I am not rich... I am an artist... you have to die to be rich.... but I am rescourceful (sp?)... I will do what I can.

Ok.. I am shutting up... just feel a need to express gratitude to alot of people here....

Nowisee....hugs, and good health.

Just so you guys know... something happened that isnt worth talking about, but Tex is a really good guy, and I wish he and his family the best of health and happiness.

in september 2001, i had a brief relationship with a coworker.

nothing came of it, we weren't a match.

but i was attracted to her, and i still am somewhat disappointed that more didn't come of it.

Kat Newmas thinks silently...."I wouldn't mention the fundamentalist, control religous nut thing"

Ummm save that for the next time you are on trial for capital murder or something. no use in wasting a perfectly good insanity plea..... on the wrong woman.

*****kat newmas means no disrespect to women, but this one sounds like she just isnt the one.

kat_newmas

nowisee.... I am not awesome... I am a spewing, long winded, moronic, maybe phsyco, mentally disturbed, overly-sensitive, emotional, un-founded, (takes a deep breathe) arrogant, willful, stubborn but determined, nerve wrecking, pain in the you know what.

Did I mention also, never on time, unfocused, flighty, nervous, opinionated, and ignorant.

and... long haired, underweight, and barefoot most of the time.

I CAN type fast though.... my only redeeming quality.. . .

Hi Everyone! I'm homeless now!

i just arrived there yesterday afternoon where my bro-in-law dropped me off.

my first night's sleep wasn't exactly eventful since there is no beds available and i have to sleep on the pews which my body doesn't exactly agree with hard wood and no cushion on it.

so i didn't sleep very well.

kat_newmas

I am on my way to work ( my part-time cushy job, in a mini-storage facility) I do nothing for five hours a day, but watch t.v. and rent storage units & office-spaces.

I do have the benefit there of being able to call (free) anywhere in the world (as part of my job is to call and remind these idiots to pay their rent.... I am a baby-sitter really) LOL

My friend has put me in touch with some people from the Salvation Army, so I may be able to take advantage of some free phone time today.

(close your eyes simon)

A smart person may be able to go online, look for the Macon Telegraph (newspaper) web-site (central georgia) there is currently an ad under : office space rentals. My office number should be listed there....If you can have someone call me collect, with any helpful info.... I can maybe get farther with this. ( you must make this call Person to Person, collect) My first name is Timmy. I will be in the office from 12:30 to 6:00pm.

As for Yahoo driving directions.... there are hundreds of similliar sites all over the net.... However there are tons of ways to find local directions.

**** If there is concern, for my safety here or stupidity here... dont be alarmed folks... I been through this, dont worry... Got this covered.

Try and see it this way if you think Yiz may be a con-artist.... IF these are merely excuses... then I am shooting them down one at a time. I dont mind helping those who help themselves. I am the kind of person that when someone says " I am in this position, and here is the reason why". . . Well then let's fix that reason, the rest will be up to Yiz.

1. cant make phone calls..............I gotcha covered.

2. don't know where to go.............. simple solution.

I wont send money ... but I will send postage stamps, letters of reference, letters of contact. I will do research on the web, and gladly e-mail you all that I find.

I wont do it forever. You are going to have to do a lot of hard work here. Nobody is going to hand you a job. IT may not be politically correct to say.... but disability or NOT... people will only hire you if you can prove you have something to offer to them. It will take you much walking in the cold, and much determination..... If you dont have that... then you have wasted much time and consideration of those on this website. I am not a charity organization, but my dealings with JW's have not made me a hard hearted person. I am willing to help you in anyway that I can. If you have lied to people here, and myself... then you must face your own concience. I am very protective of my family, and wont allow this in any way to interfere or harm them.

Yiz... I grew up on the streets... to the point of not knowing how to fit in with society.. BUT nobody really ever helped me because I didnt ask..... I was always dressed and carrying a bag. trying to impersonate a college student. I did not let day-walkers know that I was homeless. A matter of pride I suppose. I got off the streets, because I worked hard. I have never slept in a mission. There were nights after work, that I would sneak out the back door, climb on the roof and fall asleep. I would wash in public bathrooms, and eat what others threw away. I have stolen food, but only from large stores, that could spare it. .. . . and only when starvation was my only other option.

I was a child... I never weighed more than 110 pounds till long after I turned 25. There are valid excuses for becoming homeless...... but not for remaining that way. I am constantly running homeless teenagers back and forth to medical exams and job interviews. I can offer you advice that most on this site will never even have to think about... I am not a know it all.... but this is one area that I know just about everything about... so if this is a con... I will see through it eventually. Dont let this scare you from asking me for help... but know that I am not a fool.

Yiz........I e-mailed you.. but yahoo is losing alot of mail... so just in case......

It is one 1:16 am, (middle of the night) tues night. I have called all night, and no one seems to be able to give me directions. I even called a police station there....and a cab stand(they were buttheads)

Suggestion......get the address from the phone book.... go to a computer... go to yahoo driving directions.... type in the address to the mission or shelter, and type in the address to the store... it should plot you the fastest way, and even give you a map...with turn by turn directions.

If all else fails, and you have a little cash, call a cab.... they will have to know where to take you.

No cash? Salvation Army should be able to get you a voucher for the cab ride. I had to be very resourcefull in my youth.... I am sure they will help you. I will call them if you need me to, but it would be cheaper on me, if you could get the number locally.... and post it here. I wont be home till six thirty Georgia time tomorrow... but I will check here, as soon as i hit the pewter.

A pastor friend of mine is attempting to get me that number though, if he does, I will go ahead and call them.

Women..... a precious gift.

To admire their beauty, is our nature.

We must listen to them anytime they say, "I feel........."

We must respect them.... always.

We must treat them as equal, but different in all things.

BUT...We must never ..... ever..... attempt to make believe that we fully understand them.

It will only make you crazy man.

i lived through the ice storm of january 97 in quebec.

i spent 1 complete day without electricity.

it was about 25f (-5c) outside, and i had no heating.

kat_newmas

Actually for me, I love "roughing" it.... alot of things to do and learn, when one is not busy watching t.v. and playing video games. So as far as I am concerned, I dont care if they throw the proverbial switch tomorrow....

..... wait a minute.... that was before I found this site... I am so addicted to the loving atmosphere in here, that my @$$ is actually numb from sitting in front of this computer during my three day weekend. So I guess I didnt mean the first statement.... really.... hey, it got dark in here..... I DIDNT MEAN IT...
