[QUOTE="Bez+, post: 592715, member: 6797"] Keren I read all your writing and started to laugh. Guess what kiddo - you are normal. Hope that does not disappoint you. I am old enough to be your Dad - so let me tell you what I have done in my life - you may be surprised: I started out on a farm, went to school, worked in a slaughter house and pumped gas as well, quit school - ran away to sea for a while, went back to school, worked as a janior, quit school, went to work in a mine, went back to school, quit school, worked in the logging industry, went back to school - graduated - finally! Went to Central America and participated in a fresh water pipeline build, got involved in a civil war, went back to sea, went back to the mines, joined the military, farmed at the same time, quit the military, went to work as a test pilot, got fired, went to work as an airline pilot in France - got fired (Anglo Franco thing), joined the military, quit the military, worked as a contractor for the military, sold financial securities, farmed, worked for the US Army Special Forces as a UAV instructor, joined the military - am now in the middle east on a 12 - 24 month tour of duty. I left out a few things - but I just wanted to let you know life is an adventure. You can sit on your @ss and let it pass you by or you can grab on and go for it. I have lived on all the continents except Australia and the Antarctic. I have been shot, stabbed and beaten up as well as jailed in a third world country. I have eaten on some great places and some crappy places - even dined with a couple of royals one time - my Rolodex has some serious names in it - all of who I am fortunate to have met because I have more nerve than Penny's pet pig when it comes to meeting folks. Along the way I met a wonderful gal and married her - nearly tossed it all away a few years ago - slapped myself in the side of the head and realized what I had was definitely NOT worth tossing - it is now better than ever - and a lady from these boards (who I have never met face to face) set me on the right track - she knows who she is and no one else needs to. You seem to think you are abnormal because you have no clue about what to do. Nothing could be further from the truth. I think if people were honest, you might be surprized at how many folks you know feel exactly the same as you do. When you are an old lady - many, many years from now, I hope that when you are laying on your death bed that you will be saying "Life was a blast. I lived it to the fullest. I am ready for the next adventure!" So, here is a great piece of advice and it is not from me it is from someone who gave it to me. I have feminized it for your benefit [i]Look in the mirror. Who do you see? She is wonderful - so stop your moaning and complaining and beaching and whining and self doubting. The world is an adventure - go out there and find it - what you do today may or may not be you - If it is you then enjoy - if it is not you can change it. You will meet people who you love, like, dislike and truly detest - all of this will make you stronger and wiser. Learn from it. Enjoy your life[/i] I took this advice nearly 30 years ago - it is still in my wallet - you do the same please. Over to you. Bez+ [/QUOTE]
