Okay, enough quotes. I'm sorry. :blink:

And your particular brand of f-upness is most welcome, Bearman. :D

I thought this one quite good...

“We don't set out to save the world; we set out to wonder how other people are doing and to reflect on how our actions affect other people's hearts.”

Who'da thunk it ;)

That one is really good...I am a true believer that we are not quite sure how exactly things are meant when they are said so it is always gracious to give those who express themselves honestly or openly what ever they feel; respect and consideration.....

In pure Brit-Speak, I will concur with 'ab-so-bloody-lutely', RJ :)

And the final BOOOOOOOM!!

“The most fundamental aggression to ourselves, the most fundamental harm we can do to ourselves, is to remain ignorant by not having the courage and the respect to look at ourselves honestly and gently.”

Shitted! This was the one I was gonna like :P

Bear-man...they were actually quite taken with your response! They didn't mean any harm, and were not making fun of anyone but themselves. You opened the thread up even more, in a positive way, and they were jumping on the possibilities you presented with your awesome quotes and suggestions. Each of their quotes reflected some of the things we have learned from one another since Madame began the awesomeness that is this thread, and we are all pleased that you would choose to join us on this journey.

Oh, not at all. You just have to get used to the quirkiness of this group. Your quote just got everyone enthused. When this group gets enthused, you never know what is going to pop out.

Now that I read "staples" I better understand the context. :D

Please now resume the regularly scheduled repartee.

It kind of reminds me of my friends from high school (of 30 years) when we get together for Green Bay Packer games and an outsider tries to keep up with the witticisms and ripostes. Which this just shared my thought on if you can have "friends" be "real" on the internet. This thread could be held up as a shining example of it. I think I will alert the social media.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
