BTW - in a matter of speaking, flying cars do exist today ( in the form of really small planes ) -- and, the cure for cancer actually did exist in 1965 - and, still exists today. Every human being has it in their body. It is part of their natural immune system. It is "activated" by eating all of the right things and none of the wrong things - in order to maintain a "slightly" alkaline blood chemistry. Cancer cannot live in an alkaline environment. It is "aided" by anything that "oxygenates" the cells of your body. If you can maintain the proper blood chemistry, you will not get cancer. If you have it, it will go away.

Ugh.

The whole PB&J thing was blown up from a school principal's statement, taken waaaaay out of context and elaborated on ad nauseum. The original comment made by the school principal had nothing to do with racism at all.

Unfortunately Fox "News" and other news outlets that crave sensationalism love to snag onto this stuff and ride it for all it is worth, so we can expect this to be around about as long as the "scientists say bumblebees shouldn't be able to fly" thing.
Exactly. And, as a people, we allow it - and, allow ourselves to get caught up in it.

It will only change for the better to the extent that more-and-more people can be educated on how they themselves are merely "reacting" to the psychology of it -- which is very deliberate and works against them - in order to "dumb them down" - and, turn them into a non-thinking spoon-fed 'idiot' who does not even realize that they are a slave to the system...

Winerose who told you that? Don't listen to them. My gosh Winerose is the youngest one here. ������������������
One of the things she is saying Sonia is that you should not allow "life" to make you "too serious" too quickly. ( i.e. - "enjoy your youth while you can" )

Whether or not you "are taken seriously" is a different thing altogether. ;)

The main reason for the continued perpetration and perpetuation of the majority of evil-doing in this world rests in the every-day people's refusal to believe that such evil actually exists in the world. And, the average Christian's refusal to believe that Satan really is that evil.

You cannot do anything about it until you first believe that it actually exists.

You strike me as a serious guy.
You are the way you are for a reason.
Apparently, my lot in life is to exist solely for the purpose of raising awareness in others concerning the true nature of the reality they live in.

And, of course, to get them to see that the only real answer and workable solution for any of it is Almighty God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

You seem too analytic...
I have heard statements like this all my life. I guess I cannot escape it...

I am very "detail-oriented" -- and, am able to "scrutinize" the 'data' in / of a situation with precision and clarity.

My picture hangs in the "hall of fame" of my high-school for having achieved 'excellence' in math and physics.

If I have the necessary equipment and schematics, I can troubleshoot almost anything electrical or electronic.

( Not so much in recent years as in years past; I am growing so weary and tired of this world that I don't really care to do it any more. )

I am able to "think in 3D" --- my spatial awareness and reasoning ability seems to be well-above-the-average. ( Albeit, the previous line in parentheses applies here too. )

Back when I was in high school, it was suggested to me that my IQ "surely must be at least 140"...

Yet --- I seem to be unable to "find my place in the world" in a way that is sufficiently edifying to me or of worthwhile service to others.

What a waste - huh?

I suppose that I will never know what it is like to be truly loved by a woman -- unless I can find a woman who can appreciate the [ unusual? ] kind of 'characteristics' that I possess.

"Oh, well..." :rolleyes:


All I have ever wanted -- all I have really ever asked God for -- was to have a really good relationship with [ just one ] really good woman -- a "life" partner and companion who I could trust - and love.

Back in high school -- every guy in school just wanted to get laid -- I wanted "the whole enchilada" - "the whole woman" - not just her body. I was trying to do things God's way even back then. Nonetheless, God did not see fit to put me together with any of the women in my life. Or, I lost out because I was a bit too shy...?

But I learned something very valuable along the way about 'sincerity'. And, I am no longer "afraid" -- I am not nearly as 'shy' as I used to be.

Why? Because I know a lot more now about "how to love"...


Why do I not have a degree?

Because, I dropped out of school.

Want to know why I dropped out of school?

No "life" -- only hard work. Got "burned out"...

Distraction. No woman in my life to love.


It always seems to come back to the woman.

No matter how I slice it, dice it, or figure it -- it always seems to come back to the woman.

I have lived a life of hard work - and distraction -- and, all I really care about is finding the right kind of woman - to love...


What about just a nice smile...
The reason it is hard for me to take a good photograph - with a smile - is because I have lived such an unhappy life that my face has simply "molded itself" to a more 'neutral' facial arrangement. It does not mean that I never smile. I do. Only, it takes more physical effort by way of laughing, etc. to move the proper muscles, etc. in a way to make the smile appear.

Folks -- please don't misunderstand -- I am not having a "pity-party" -- I am only volunteering some information about my life to help you understand what-I-am-all-about and some of the reasons why I am the way I am.

I have good intentions -- even if I fail to achieve the right and proper results all the time.

And, this is only part of the picture / story. Please remember this before you become a critic.

GaryA you are wonderful just the way you are and some lady will benefit greatly from getting to know you for you and not some falsified persona of you. It's a shame that some don't and will not understand and they are missing out on spending time with a great guy and it's only hurting them in the long run

We need to meet up.

I'm in Houston. I've gotten some PMs here asking if I was okay. I just wanted y'all to know that I am doing fine. I feel better personally but I'm in pain for all the people here. I came with my church for the long weekend. We are making hots meals, donated things the church helped gather, and going around praying for people. There are so many people out of their homes but there are a lot of organizations here helping. God is good.

Gary. I am sorry. I came out too harsh. I hate pics....and hate even more to be taken picures of. Just look at my stupid avatar. I look all sheepish. And it was funny. I had to check your avatar twice to see if I had imagined it all. Anyway. I am sorry
What r u talking about? :eek: It looks neither stupid nor sheepish.

I am sorry to hear this. You have really analyzed every sentence. I am sorry I was critical. But didn't you ask?

Life can be hard. I was leaving lower secondary school (junior high) with the best grades of my year. But yet I was never good enough. My sister did even better. I have 2.5 bachelor degrees and now, at 45 i try to go back to get a master's. Does it make me happy? Yeah. Academics does. Don't like writing a thesis on "the" and "a/an" in Victorian English. I need to take the social linguistic approach. And I think I have found my "thing".

Life has been hard to me, too. Very hard. Disability, violent husband, depression, rejection, son with Aspergers, violent son with Aspergers, son that is now thinking he is a daughter. I could make the list longer. Yet. I smile by God's grace. I love the people around me. I often feel lonely. But it is getting better. What I wrote wasn't meant as criticisim. Just an honest answer.

I wrote to you "you are who you are for a reason". Thank you for sharing this reason. And God will use you for who you are, because God created you. I wish you had more love and laughter in your life. And one day be blessed with a woman by your side. Who am I to talk? A person that yesterday was rejected by the person I believed God sent me to be the one... God sent him another message, it seems.

So. I am God's bulldozer. If I hit the wall enough times and enough hard it will surely fall down. Or will it?

God bless, Gary. You are a good guy. Please relax and don't take me so seriously serious, ok?
