  okay, i think i'm crazy; and i think i need therapy.

  well here's a rundown of my life: .

  born; molested by cousin; best friend murdered by her father; eating disorder; abusive boyfriends; betrayed by best friend of 15 years; disfellowshipped; married after 6 months of dating; disowned by family; moved cross-country where i don't know anyone (this is only a partial list of course).

  Heya Stinky-

  I am sorry to hear life is down in the dumps for you. Many who've responded have offered some great suggestions. When life has gotten me down, I usually go to the library to hunt up self-help books. I'm a HUGE self help junkie. Have you ever thought about joining any online communities in your new city to meet people in person? That might help if you are feeling lonely. Thought about taking up a new hobby? And you always have a friend here in Denver Colorado if you need a break from Florida!

  i have two great friends who seem to have major issues in their relationships.

  lately it seems they can only discuss their on again/off again relationships.

  both of these friends have literally broken up with their boyfriends and gotten back together three times in the past 3 months.

I am trying to be supportive and help them get through this time, but am honestly sick of hearing about it every night and need some positives in my life. Am I a horrible friend to feel this way? Any of you sometimes get bogged down with other people's troubles?

  Ug, telemarketers give me irritable bowel syndrome. I heard it was some dumb-assed judge here in Colorado who felt it was wrong and unconstitutional to have a do not call list. That boogar should have his house called everynight in the evening when he's relaxing from a days work and listen to someone try and sell him a new mortgage.

  Yes, I would vote for Arnold. All of us have done dumb shit in our lives..it's just stupid politics to bring it up at election time. I loved the interview with Arnold and Maria on Oprah.

  aborting all the baby girls

  by plmkrzy in

  60 minutes tonight, special on aborting all the baby girls in india, it has become an epidemic so severe they have placed a ban on tests that predetermine the childs sex.

  now women are going underground to find out the sex of the child and abort it if it is a female.

  this has caused an imbalance in the population and men are having a difficult time finding wives.

  I am aware of this and it is appalling. My parents adopted three orphan girls from China. I was able to visit an orphange. It would break your heart to see those adorable faces rejected because they are girls. One of my sisters was abandoned in next to the toilets in a government building at 2 months old. It's still hard for me to imagine discarding human life like that. Another issue with India (and the middle east) is female circumcison (sp). Grrrrr that makes me furious.

  i feel so down.

  i am beginning to think i am the kind of person that just walks away from their problems, instead of confronting them.

  when people hurt me, i will hardly ever show it, voice my feelings or anything.

  Overt Use Of Certain Words.

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do you get hung up on certain words, so that you tend to use them more than other's do?.

  my latest word hang up (other than overt) is rumbustious.

  it has such a nice raspberry sound to it and almost describes itself by it's very sound.

  A favorite word JW's were ALL over was: glean. There was one elder who was simply incapable of using any other word to describe learning or understanding certain points.
