I think you could live on those jalepeno almond thingys too....Mmmmmm...Dellliiiiiicious!!!
Carl- Good on you....don't ever change who you are or where you're going!
NO ONE should tell you how to live your life, who to love or who to live with!! That's something to be proud of!!
Keep on keepin on dude!!
Wow. All I can say is thank you. It's something I was reluctant to do (coming out on here) but this thread made it alot easier. I never mentioned it because just like opinions, prejudices abound. So thanks Steph, Helen and Sanna for reminding me that, it doesn't matter. It may offend some, but it shouldn't since it doesn't affect their lives one iota.
You're absolutely right Steph, no on can tell me how to live my life, especially since they haven't walked a day in my shoes nor seen through my eyes. Only I can do those things.

You were there for me and didn't even know my name! My first contact with you was you pm-ing me asking for my name and addy.
Did I know, kind of, do I care he-- no! Do it change how I feel about you, he-- yes..? It moves you up on my list (

); if you can be totally honest with yourself, that mean you can be totally honest with me. I consider you a friend, someone that has been there for me more than once, and I love you dearly... I'm on the GCap Board (Greater Community Aids Project) & and I work with Ags (Active Gay Students); I'm not there just to be there, I'm there fighting for peoples right...
If you need me, you know where to find me, 24/7... Let me see where did I here that, OH that's right.. that's what you told me!
Luv Ya Always

Thanks for pointing that out LadyLuv. Sorry, it must have been an oversight that I didn't send the formal "Lifestyle Orientation and Beliefs System" questionnaire to see whether or not you qualified for help based on your beliefs or what you should think, be or feel. I just can't bring myself to help anyone unless they fit the cookie cutter mold of life and what it's supposed to be.

In all seriousness though, When I started to get to know you, I knew two things: 1. you were hurting and 2. I was in a position to help. To me, that's all ,.that matters and if I am in a position to help anyone, I do so to the best of my abilities.
Like my orientation though, it is something I don't discuss on the board. I learned a few lessons in my years of being in church: Don't let your right hand know what your left hand has done; so that's TWICE in one thread I am outed. LOL.
Thank you for bringing up that very interesting point though Ruthie. When it comes right down to it, we all suffer from the same malady, and whether or not someone is different from you in any way, shape or form is irrelevant, and should have no bearing on a decision to help someone. Unfortunately that is just how some people are.
I got a PM from someone letting me know that, apparently I have been dropping clues(?) as to my orientation. I found that interesting since 1. I don't post that often and 2. I don't remember 'dropping clues' or anything but apparently I've had this agenda and.... OI!
Peace, and thanks again,
