False hope gives you comfort for better hope? True or false?
walklightly comments on Feb 11, 2018:
my honest-to-goodness answer? hope is faith, once removed, & as such too close in comfort to belief, which i understand is a kind of lullaby. i despise all three of them: the un-wholey trinity :D

I believe that you can heal...you may never forget, but the abuse can loose it's bite and ofcourse there is work to be done in order to accomplish this. It is like 'rebuilding' of a person.
Can a homosexual attraction occur in a person who defines themselves as heterosexual?
Firelander comments on Feb 10, 2018:
It must. Never really thought about it until my wife announced to me she changed her sexuality. Produced the most confusing thing I have ever had to comprehend. After 10 years together, had no clue. It has turned our divorce into an inconprehesible mess.
Freedompath replies on Feb 10, 2018:
I have known women who left their husbands in midlife for women. Their lesbian state of being seemed natural, when I met them. They had children, from their marriages, too!

I just found out today that someone I used to be very close to died from cancer.
DJ_Blaser comments on Feb 8, 2018:
I found out three years after the fact that an exgirlfriend I dated while in the military had died of breast cancer before she was even 30. It hurt because we had parted under unresolved feelings for each other. I have since found a great love, yet I can not help but feel I failed her some how.
Freedompath replies on Feb 8, 2018:
I would think that you had many mixed feelings about your ex. Even i, felt a stab of hurt for such a woman so young to have died of breast cancer. And, that you only found out much later, another hurt factor. Life just happens, in spite of us! Our hurt, at least indicates we care deeply.

I agree completely. And happily so. I hope to think of a way to rid myself of my body ahead of time so that my children won't pay for a funeral. Got some ideas but none set in stone. Could camp out with the bears or fall off a boat in the ocean. I'm still thinking.

I'm not good at it either. If someone is interested in me, I need for them to just tell me straight-up. I suck at mind-reading.

Don't you think that after a person has been hurt by 'love'...they become hyper alert against rejection? The problem is that the 'rejection syndrome' went underground, so you can forget it is still a driving force?

This doesn't terrify me as much as the one-third of America who are convinced that Trump is the best president in America's history, that everything he is doing is working, and the only problem is that he is not being allowed to do everything he wants to do.
Freedompath replies on Feb 8, 2018:
...I know, that makes me want to scream...are they in the same universe as I am? Forget 'fake news' are they keeping up with trump's own words and actions, that are being played out daily, on the 'BIG SCREEN?' And, I bet Amarosa, knows more 'stuff!'

BitFlipper comments on Feb 8, 2018:
Sometimes I find myself feeling that a woman friend is special. I notice myself looking forward to seeing her with excitement. I'll find myself thinking about her when she's not around. Women apparently find this disturbing. It never happens in reverse.
Freedompath replies on Feb 8, 2018:
BitFlipper...I am surprised to see that you (or any man) believes that having special feelings about someone doesn't agree with a woman. I can't quiet get my mind around your assertion! I have special feelings about lots of people and men of all sorts! Some are married and out of reach to me. Some are just ordinary men. But, they are special in my eyes! Now, I may not always express that much emotion to them...it will be more like subtle regard. Maybe I do this, because not everyone can 'read' motives between men and women and I don't wish my admiration to be misinterpreted! Who wouldn"t be delighted to know that they are thought of with tenderness? I enjoy it.

I wonder why 75? This brought to mind, my 95 yr old neighbor...her Doc was cking to see if she wanted to be resuscitated and she reported back to me...that she told him, 'yes, I love living!' And she meant it! She is wearing down, though...

Freedompath replies on Feb 8, 2018:
@Hugh I know this is strange...but I do not see myself at such a point. If I am given the 'word' in time, that I am dying...I will inform my children, actually I will keep them up to date with my 'comings and goings!' I am making my plans to be 'living' as long as I am still breathing! I am also seeing to it, that I have connections to other people! I will ask for help, should I need something. I am not isolating myself, by no means!

I have found on the 'whole,' Christians do not like to think deeply. One of my daughter's has told me for most of her adult life (40yr), that I 'put to much into everything!' And so far as I can see, not one thing I have said or done has changed her Evangelical mind!
Freedompath replies on Feb 8, 2018:

El-loco comments on Feb 7, 2018:
Inability to spell is related to a lack of comprehension. Learning a foreign language or two will help enormously. Basically, you are trying to remember the correct letters that go to make the 'word' you want to say without thinking about what that word means. That might mean that you don't ...
Freedompath replies on Feb 7, 2018:
Yes, I have had much difficulty in learning any foreign language, even though I hear dialects quiet well! My spelling seems worse writing in this small space, than I do writing on the computer! Kinda funny! What you say makes sense...as I find a breakdown in finding the words to express my ideas! And, i am worse in this small space! No history with Alzheimer, but I am not waiting to be a first, either!

@diabhal ..."last reply i'm going to make'...it makes no difference to me one way or the other, how many replys you make! You are more focused on getting the upper hand on me, than you are about the issue...that we originally started out with! 'If you (that would be me) can't see that what you have been doing is racial sterotyping then there's not much point in discussing it futher.' You are telling me that you have become an authority ON ME and if I can't see the error of my ways, you're done! AND SIR... what is the difference between. 'I repeat that i never accused you of being a racist but i do think you are spouting racial hatred,' you are saying one thing about me in the first part of the sentance and the very same thing in the last half!? Yes, I do speak of the Mexicans and I say 'Mexicans.' I have a Mexican neighbor not 50 ft from my front door and when all her very professional realitives come to visit, we speak of Mexicans if need be! In New Mexico, we speak of Mexicans (of which there are many) and we say Mexicans! And until I ran across you no one, has ever accused me of sterotyping or being racist! You spent a big portion of your text on trying to support your assertion that I am being racist and sterotyping! I WASN'T THERE! I have no idea where you are coming from, but I WILL NOT accept your emotional baggage put onto me! I understand clearly there are racial disparities and degradation for the "blacks" in S Africa, the same as what we have right here in the south. But, we weren't discussing that...we were discussing the drought in S AFRICA, and the "black people' in S A (on the whole) do not have the skills to run plantations...(Sociology 101)...even that is another discussion! I don't recalI if i have ever run into a person that is so determined to prove that I am sterotyping and being racist on paper or even in person!!! WHY?

@diabhal ...to quote...'YOU seem to be conflating'...'and spouting racial hatred as espoused by the current right wing element of SA' ...these are your exact words! You even lumped me in with some element, that i know nothing about! I was reporting what I have read, viewed in the news and personal experience with people I know! And, I never discussed that the land was taken from the 'black people' before it was taken from the 'white people' I was discussing the NOW! AND NO I AM NOT BEING SATIRICAL! I am as serious as a heart attack! I believe it might be helpful to you, to find out what racial hatred look like...when written in words! I didn't say "colored people', simple because that is a color too! Black and white is used to name people's color, not their race, especially since there are many different races in Africa! And, I would take the word, of someone who grew up in SA and still has realitives there, than I would a stranger!

@diabhal I believe that you should do more research before you put other people down... because I for one...don't appreciate it! Plus you are way off the mark! If you can't tell the difference between someone being 'racist,'' and just words needed to discribe a situation or event...you are creating more DISCORD in the world!

Freedompath replies on Feb 2, 2018:
@diabhal sir, I referred to the blacks, as 'black people' as a description, because the plantations were taken from the 'white people'...that is the way it came down!. And, it seemed to me, you were doing a 'one-up-on' me...to say that I should feel 'shame,' for describing something, when those words are the only way to explain this situation. I am most confident that my friend who comes (now) from S Africa would never mislead me and she is not racest either! Plus, I remembered on PBS, there was a documentary on this very issue...this has been going on for 20 years in that part of the world! I do not know how many countries are involved now, but I do know about S AFRICA, just now.

@Irishathiest I would not want to mislead you...but I know for fact, plantations were reallocated...another friend from England had a brother that lived in S Africa into his 80s, his land and his possessions were taken from him and he had to escape back to England, with nothing! My friend from S Africa told me same thing and I also read about it way in the past...just can't recall source! S Africa.has since had food shortage because the blacks did not have the skills to run these large plantations, which employed lots of people!

Freedompath replies on Feb 2, 2018:
@Irishathiest this has been going on for several years! I am not sure what part you are disagreeting on...the plantations were taken back from the white people, do you agree? The fields went fallow which caused another problem with food shortage. The growing of crops helped with rain...it is all dead now! Where do you see error?
I have just read some GREAT news.

Yeah, I hear you bud. I lost my wife several years ago to cancer. I've been raising our kids ever since. Time heals, but it does take a while. I had two kids to raise, so that gives you laser focus right quick. The kids were so young when they lost their mother. I've never seen them so scared....

I had to chuckle a little when I read about your 2 pugs...I am not a fan of pugs...I like medium size dogs. But, my friend in Vietnam has one and she sent me all these pics and told me, if you ever have a pug, you would 'love them to death!'

Freedompath replies on Feb 2, 2018:
The main reason for the water disaster in South Africa, is the plantations were taken over by the 'blacks,' but the blacks lacked the skills to run them, so they were allowed to disintegrate...that cut down on rainfall, thus causing a major drought over the last several years..and the government is impotent (mostly appointed family members) ...which may prevent his getting assistance!

@TheMiddleWay I have to somewhat agree with you...society does seem to have gone overboard with their attachment to their pets! They may have transferred their attention to their pet, because that love want be challeging... the rescue was different in a way...a dog want make it after being a pet. It was an act of mercy...most rescues like this are put down, as there is not enough money to care for all the unwanted dogs.
