Streams of Consciousness & Thoughts~~~

[iTOREtheSKY]

Thanks to all who have responded to my posts about my daughter, and who have been praying. You guys have brought me to tears several times recently. I can't thank you enough.

I didn't mean to make it sound like this was new to me or anything. To clear up matters:

She's been seeing a therapist for this for a while and is currently on medication. As her mother is a school teacher and has a similar schedule to my daughter, her mom takes her to these appointments, and sometimes they talk, though my daughter says she would prefer not to talk to her mother about any of this either. The other night was particularly bad. Bad thoughts during the night is one of the things she is dealing with, so she called her mom to pick her up and left me a note explaining that to find in the morning.

Keeping you in & her in my prayers big time dude!!! You will pass through this & I am looking forward to hearing awesome news one day. I honestly believe this for you my friend. We love you to bits,bro!!!!

It's not the nail polish fumes you should worry about, it's that horrid acetone in the remover!! Blech, that stuff smells awful. So awful you can almost taste it. lol

But I'd LOVE to do both!

If I had marketing savvy,or a passion for peoples nails I would so open up a virtual nail salon on CC right this very moment. (lol even if it seemed like an un-manly thing to do)


Ugh...so much for my rebellious streak of opting not to use the multi-quote button today.




Batman: "You're nails are in serious need of some TLC"

Catwoman: "I only let iTORE touch my nails...back off!"

Batman: "Well,what if I told you that iTore & Batman are in fact,the same person?"

Catwoman: "I'd tell you that you need to see a therapist for wearing that silly outfit & give me a 35% discount on my next salon visit or I am telling all of CC who you really are."

Well he noticed my haircut. Said it looks good. So that's good. Not sure if I like him anymore. With my history of guys, i am weary on the type of guys that I like. :/

Today I am torn between wanting to take apart a chair and start sanding it down and removing the hideous 70's orange upholstery so I can recover it at a later date and stain the wood...

Or breaking out the package of fancy markers I got for Christmas to create some kind of picture for the kids' room...

Or starting to sort through unused but much wanted junk stored around here and packing it away...

Or trying to fix the purple in my hair that turned out waaaay more pink than purple...

Or maybe I should just wash the dishes, drink more coffee, and bug people.

Sure wish I had some spray paint right now. Or canvas and acrylics. Or a large display of glass items and a sledge hammer (what? I like the sound of breaking glass).

I appear to be...restless...this morning.

I vote YES for all of it!

I'm a bit jealous now though,cause I am out of acrylic paint & have no markers. Hmmmppfff!

@ pers..............
I feel yer' pain sister. I am always weary of men who compliment my hair too.

Sounds like a fun day I'd go for the smashing of glass

I'm finding out I love painting my nails. Right now my nails look AWESOME. My thumbs have a silver flower on them

I made a bad color choice this time. Woke up this morning wondering what I was thinking. I wanted something neutral and it looked good in the bottle. On my nails, not so much.

 

[Jullianna]

Catherder, will keep praying for your family.

 

[persNickety]

After reading Jullianna's thread on wolves and Matthew, and my thoughts lastnight. I kind of just want to be single. It's less complicated. I don't have to worry about potentially dating a manipulative man that I didn't see before hand. Trust is a big thing, it's hard to know someone fully before making a decision about them.

 

[LightningClap0002]

Hm, I doubt you will ever know someone fully. But that's a good part of it all. Getting to know them. And then you also get to see as they grow and get to know you. There is a lot of good to be had. Unfortunately, it seems like more and more the people who get married are the ones with the problems. Anyone else noticed that? It seems like the people I know that stay single have things much more 'together' than the ones I know that are married. :S

And ya' know..that's one of the beautiful things about being single,is that if you change your mind & feel ready to be in a relationship then you can...'cause yanno...yer' not all married n stuff with commitment.

Trust is such a BIG thing & you should never ever ever be with someone whom you honestly have any doubts about. Don't do what I've done in the past & ignore RED flags. It will come back to bite you & then you'll be all like.."man,I knew better...kill me now" lol My personal opinion...(esier said than done,I know)...but trust God,obviously..but have a little bit more faith in yourself...He gave you an awesome mind & heart.

Ugh..I am sounding all old & rambling. sorry.

 

[Shouryu]

OH my goodness...I thought you meant they were singing, "Celery STALKS at Midnight." Stalks being a verb. LOL

[SanPedro]

Oh, my mistake, the reference to psychedelic drugs in your username and avatar stood out.


View attachment 67903

So here we have a member telling other members that a new member has made a drug reference. Nice welcome. I happen to like cacti. San Pedro means "Saint Peter", you know, the one who Jesus called the rock that His church would be built upon. I find it reckless and dishonorable to suggest that I've made such a reference (which would be against forum rules).

Here is a ditto of the PM I sent to member 'Praus'

"Was it really your thought that my avatar was a reference to drugs? It's a cactus that I like. Perhaps it is more likely that you had such a thought because your own mind considers such things? I am here in peace. Please do not offer me any stumbling blocks. Thank you.

Matthew 7:1-5

King James Version (KJV)

7 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."

 

[iTOREtheSKY]

Everything happens for a reason,right? Do thing's just happen?

My mind is racing today.

So many things...so little time perhaps.

I need to leave this place.

Not to sound ridiculously corny or nerdy..which I am totally BOTH of these things,but like Luke Skywalker after his Aunt & Uncle were killed he realized he had nothing there on his home planet for him any longer. No more reasons to stay. No more excuses. Anything he ever had was now in the past,and all those adventures & plans he dreamed of doing were now within his grasp of pursuing. All he needed to do was go.


I need to leave this place.

I'm not running from my past.

My past is no more...Jesus took care of that for me on the cross.

I want to run to my future. Whatever it may be & with whomever is may be shared with.

All these posts lately about men & women,their relating to one another...the woes & joys of being single...the disengaging of our religious attitudes & mindsets when it comes to what we "expect" from the opposite sex.

In the end,like I have said. I just want a girl I can be weird with. Someone who will love me as much as I love her.
No drama.
No manipulation.
No head games.
No fears or doubting the words & promises we make to each other.

Just a wonderful friend to walk with & share my heart.

Yes I know...I have that wonderful friend in Jesus. That's right,I sure do. I am sooooo thankful to Him for all He has blessed me with in my life.

This doesn't negate or change the fact that I still desire that closeness in the flesh with another human being.
I used to beat myself up about this when I was newly saved.
That I wasn't being spiritual enough.

It's all nonsense. Religious nonsense. God is love. Jesus is relationship. The Holy Spirit is comfort & wisdom.

...and a girl to spend my life with,be weird with...hold,share our lives with one another & talk about everything under the sun for what time we have left here...

that's just an awesome bonus & the cherry on top.


I'm going to live & be happy...no matter what!

Welcome to the forum, Sir. Seriously.

We apologize for the hypercritically trollish behavior of some folks and hope it does not discourage you from posting here.

God bless!

Eric Burdon was a her0 around my house and yeah I spelled that with a zero. My dad expressed similar life....assessments as yours. He had this album by the Animals the best of, and the hole in the middle was about twice the size it should've been from him slamming it on missing the rod and it wobbled when it turned. The needle part stayed right with it though. In this dirty ole part of the city, where the sun refused to shine - people tell me there ain't no use in tryin.

 

[iTOREtheSKY]

Do you mean your frigid northern state, the singles forum, or cc in general?

LOL..yes,just to clarify,I did not mean in my post that I was leaving CC,I was making reference to getting out of this state (Maine) that I am living in. Hopefully sooner than later. (sorry Jullianna,I'm afraid you might be stuck with me around the forums for at least a little longer. I promise I'll behave.)
