| I've spent the majority of my life with little to no friends..keeping just one or 2 at close hand. phuck the rest if they aren't on the same page as me..we all have different ways of looking at things, and we are all not gonna agree on everything. But if we base our beliefs of a person on what someone else has said about them, instead of what we know personally about them through talking and being a friend, then we are not truly a friend.
It is human nature to look down our noses at those we despise, for whatever reason..but I try to remember that..when I am pointing one finger at someone, I have 3 fingers pointing back at me..
Judge not, lest thee be judged.
I take hearsay with a grain of salt..and let it blow away in the wind. If I'm truly interested in knowing the truth, I will ask the person it is about, and get their side of it, then make my own decisions based solely on that.

| Gee, it looks like I missed something again. Yet, it has such a familiar ring to it, perhaps the same old song, sung by different singers.
Lovin, Let's face facts, there are always going to be those that feel compelled to down others to make themselves appear to be better persons. But the scales of life really tells the story. Let's put things in the balance and see which side tips...........
Lovin, you are an RN, an accomplished professional. An your opponent is?????????????
You are a mother, not just a mother, but a dedicated mother with children that really require your attention and guidance. Again, your opponent is?????????????
You have many long time friends, which on here especially is saying something. And your opponent?????????????
I could type my fingers to the bone placing weights in the scale, yet, why the need? The opponent has been weighed, measured, and has been found lacking.
Enough said. No reason to whine, no reason to spew venom, let the facts speak much louder than the childish actions of those that wish the were professionals with a list of accomplishments. However, this is just my opinion and observation. Maybe I have lost my mind and insight into the messed up world we live in.

| There's the old saying Remember the past or you're condemned to repeat it in the future
A few people want to forget the past so they keep repeating the same thing over and over again. Like a broken record. Now that records are obsolete there are DVDs and those can be ruined as well. Nothing is permanent except the past.

| Ok, sit down and let's share our DH stories, eh? lol
Oh yeah, I can't help but add that I find it truly hilarious when people get into the sty and roll around in the mud while calling everyone else pigs. LOL

| What is normal?
Really is that normal to you or normal to me?
Define normal.
conforming to a type, standard, or regular pattern
Note: CONFORMING
Sorry I did not read through the thread, but this is a conversation my son and I have all the time. Normal
I am not normal nor will I ever conform to the rest of society.
Rebel yell and yell.
Please be advised, I do not have anything nasty to say. I am not passing judgement onto those in whom I do not know.
I only wish to be treated as I treat others.

| Normal has always been defined according to %'s. Majority thinking from the majority side sounds more like it.
Brush it off and move on.

| Yeah, Cats is bright....and she knows how to make up her own mind - not just follow what others think about things and people. She is a very wonderful person.
ONE? did you call me? LOL

| Ahhh, the wisdom of the normal people...Thank you...
(who, by the way, have been nicknamed "the nasties"...LMAO.
Again...that battered ugly black pot calling the burnt kettle black....
Funny how this works, huh?
And...I'm really interested...more than anything else...in the repercussions.
You can bet all of our pretty little butts that revenge is first and foremost in the mind of the person who started all this, and states that SHE is NOT like other women...implying that she is a wonderful, down to earth, non b*tchy...(never, no..not her)
sigh..
Okay.
You are all right.
But I have lived with this constant badmouthing of myself, my friends, my character, my home life...ect.ect...whatever you can come up with?
She has attacked.
Now.
Why?
Isn't it a little old by now?
Do you have no other life? I would think by now...it would be time to let it go.
I can walk away, again. I have been doing it for almost a year now...despite the continued reports of the continued bashing and trashing.
You are all right.....first of all...anyone who believes it all? Isnt worth my time.
Second...well...now I'm just bored.
In your face? Oh hell...I dont want to get that close to the self-admitted dogs face with the ticks on it, come ON!
Everybody??????
Thanks for all the input.
Whats normal? NOTHING! Nobody....and I know and acknowledge that I am FAR from perfect. I make mistakes...admit them..and apologize when I have to...even though that is hard to do. Normal? Maybe its people who care about themselves, their friends, and are NOT afraid to stand up for what they think is right..even if they are wrong sometimes...and it makes them targets, (yeah..Me4..got that bulls-eye painted on my back too)
Funny how the 'perfect' ones do not have the balls to come out and just say what they think...but work behind the scenes...undermining friendships...trying to hurt relationships. And for what? Personal vendettas? How DO they sleep at night, I wonder?
Normal? Naw, maybe not, but I will take the people who are not afraid to be different from everyone else.
But don't run around crowing about how special they are, either.
What I find scary is someone who takes their way of looking at life...and calls it GOOD...FINAL...the only answer.
Last time I checked? That option was Gods, The Powers that Be...whatever your version of the ultimate power here in our universe is.
NOT...some person who is so impressed with her own hype that she sincerely believes it.
Sigh.
I will be good.
I'm done with this bull.
To my friends and loved ones...Thanks for being here. I needed to vent a little in order to NOT react badly.
and to all reading this?
Look for the backlash.
It WILL come.
Just watch.
and when It does?
Im going to define it as such.
Aha...here it is. The backlash....
In the meantime...back to life as normal on DH..
the good, the bad and the ugly...

| Well thank you zathras. Although I don't know you yet, I do appreciate the compliment. And of course, to my buddies Norml, Luvin, and the crew, well, I just say what is on my mind. "Call 'em like I see 'em".
We are all adults here and I really feel we should conduct ourselves as such. I know it gets old with the bashing, but why lower ones self to the level of the basher? I know I have been guilty of that also at times, but at least I try to ignore the ignorant, celebrate the intelligent, and have a blast with the good hearted.
Let's all just enjoy a nice cup of coffee and sit back and watch "fool tv" showing the latest in the DH soap opera.
