Sometimes I have a tendency not to respond to people who are from other non-english speaking countries, in large part because the language barrier can just be so frustrating.

Oooh, the DMV drives me crazy! I had that same problem when I tried to get my name changed- they wanted my social security card changed, and they wanted my marriage license, and they wanted a utility bill or bank statement with my name on and my home address.

Well...first problem, getting the SS card changed to my new name. Second problem, no utilities were in my name, we didn't even use a bank account, and all our mail went to our PO box anyway.

And so...it took me six years to get my name changed on my license (ok, well, it shouldn't have taken that long even with all the hoops I had to jump through, but still...)
I promise it won't be six years as the DMV really doesn't want me to go all postal on them....lol......After all my current drivers license has the name Roy on it and they are the ones that put it there.....evidently they don't read much..... Next week I will be in a social security office somewhere if I have to camp there until they give me a new card.....I am over this already....lol

yeah I got them prescribed to me, but I think my depression/mood swings was drug and alcohol induced and I don't do that stuff anymore, I haven't seen the doctor in a while only to get refills on my meds, my mother takes the same thing.

I confess that it's past midnight...

On a similarly true but more serious note... I'm about to be overseas. My grandfather is dying of cancer, and my immediate family is going over to South Africa to see/spend time with/minister to him (and the rest of our extended family). Prayers are always appreciated.


also must admit... You're awesome, and God is why!

Then it is better to stay on them until the Doctor says it's o.k. to go off. Chemicals in our brains can do weird things I know this first hand so better to consult with your doctor first then make your decision. There is nothing wrong with taking meds to stay in a good frame of mind when under a doctors care.

Dear Father In Heaven

Please be with our brother AsifinPassing and his family as they go to be with his Grandfather. It is always a sad time when a family member is sick and suffering. Please bring peace to this family and help the Grandfather not to suffer much longer. We long for the day when we live with You Father and there will be no more suffering, sickness or death so I pray you bring comfort to this family and love as they go to minister to their Grandfather. Please also give them safe travels and go with them and dwell in their hearts make Your presence known to them I pray in Jesus Name Amen.

It's 11:46 pm, which is close enough to midnight, right?

I confess I'm stalking a certain person's threads, because they usually end up being some of the most hilarious threads on here.

I also confess that I got a new washer and dryer today.

I have been known to do this many times at well. So it's not nearly as bad as you might think.

A new washer and dryer? It's like Christmas coming early. I've been doing my own laundry for years and I still don't know what I am doing. I confess that I have a problem separating my whites. Using Bounce dryer sheets makes the clothes smell acceptable.

Sounds close enough to me. The washer and Dryer essentially was our Christmas present to us, because we needed them and we can't afford anything else. My husband worked Holiday Overtime over Thanksgiving for us to be able to pay for them.

Christmas came early for me this year as God has blessed me with the most wonderful woman who is now my wife. She has spent a considerable amount of time buying presents for needy children and sending out cards with a letter of the events of the past year. A couple days ago she set up this little tree on a stand. She has Christmas spirit. I confess that I have been humbug, haunted by the ghosts of Christmas past. Perhaps I can make some cookies.

But then the question becomes.. how do you know that you're 100% certain?

Copied from When is it right to say I love you? Thread
So many years I wondered why? Why are those people in love? When I saw different couples and watched people together and sometimes they really looked like they didn't match up? I would say to myself why or how did they find each other and I am still alone? What is it that they have that I don't have? What is wrong with me that I am still alone after all these years? Am I that independent that no man wants me? Am I not a Barbie doll enough, am I not weak enough? What is my problem?

35 years of mistakes choosing wrong being chosen wrong and finally just giving up and throwing in the towel, resolving myself to being alone and living alone probably dying alone and I had accepted that fact, because I felt I was not acceptable somehow by the opposite gender. So I stopped looking, flirting, trying at all and put on blinders to what was going on around me.

I decided I was afraid of commitment and really didn't know how to love and that I had put men in an idol position and so I told God I didn't know what to pray for in a man or a relationship because I really didn't know what to ask for or how to ask for it.

So a couple of times I just said - For once I would like to do a relationship right. Where the man would put God first and I would put God first and that he would love me for who I am and I would not have to change to suit or to fit the mold I was suppose to be but what I wasn't to the point of not recognizing who I was anymore.... no more game playing - Just loving God and being me the real me.

Then tourist came along and the rest is CC history. I did resist telling him I loved him because I couldn't believe after so many years that someone could love me for me....all I can say is God does things in His timing and I did finally give in and believe that I could really love someone again..... myself after giving up all hope of ever loving someone again or that someone could really love me again.

So Zero you just know it when it is right and with God involved in the process you do know when it is right.

For me finding love again was very unexpected but very right.

The US is a non-english speaking country then? That makes sense...

This is a morning confession. I have not always been the man that God has meant me to be. There are still flaws in me that need to be addressed. God has given me the opportunity to finally be happy and I pray that I make the most of it and see the true beauty in His creation and in myself. I am going to look in the mirror now and see what there is to see. I think that I will comb my hair too.
