Mayberries are good--they're like gold stars. Bullets are bad--they are like demerits for breaking the rules and such. Everyone has a rating; you can only see yours.

For doing something very naughty! If you receive a bullet or mayberry, you will also receive a pm as to the reason for it.

Why is it that some people have more trouble letting go of things and moving forward than others? It's something about which I've wondered for some time. As I've said before, I am very much a "live and let live" kind of person. What may be your cup of tea may/may not be mine. I truly believe we are only accountable for our own actions and no one elses--we can't really control others, so why try? It is a waste of energy and very non-productive both physically and mentally. It's difficult enough for us to control ourselves without taking on the baggage of others. Personal responsibility is

Once again this morning I'm feeling a bit reflective, and one of the things foremost on my mind in light of recent events in my personal life is the notion of men and women being friends. Friendship is a tenuous thing. When we are young, we make friends quite easily--boy, girl, doesn't really matter. Taking it back to the sandbox... Being in the same place at the same time is enough for us to call another human "friend." Then as we grow up, society teaches us that friendship is a much more complicated thing. It involves bonds, trust, emotion, history, baggage, the list could go on and on,

I know it's been a long and arduous battle for not only your father but your entire family. While I know you'll miss him, I'm glad he has moved on to the next world. Prayers for your family!

Are people really that complicated, or do we just like to pretend we are? I mean, how much of the crap that goes on in our lives do we do to ourselves? Is being complicated considered a "good" thing? I think if you ask 10 people what they really wanted out of life, the majority (if not all) of them would say something leading back to "simplification," being it a less stressful job, less hectic lifestyle, less drama-filled relationships. It’s kind of sad and funny when you think about it. Does it really make us more attractive to others/ more interesting to be complex or complicated?

Prayers and energy sent for her and her family...

I've not blogged in quite some time, but I feel as my one year "anniversary" approaches, it is time for an update. It was in March of last year that me and my now ex seperated. At the time, I was completely devestated. It's amazing to me the difference a year makes. Over the past year I have really learned a great deal about myself. And, I realize (as I think most people do with time) that even the most "devestating" experiences happen for good reason. I know now that while my time with the "ex" gave me three wonderful children, the relationship itself did little to nourish my spiri

I really don't think there are many more details right now on this, and there won't be until Monday when the investigation continues. On Friday when Mr. Fincher spoke with the parents, the SRO was there and seemed to think that the SO had all the information they needed to apprehend the perpetrators. For the record, though, there was no confirmation at that time that there even was a gun; several of the players reported that they saw what they thought to be a weapon during the fight, but no gun had been recovered as of Friday afternoon when the players were released with the letter. (At leas

I wonder if the "relief" will be worth the bill?

Yep, I've cleaned my physical house so to speak and have gotten many things in order over the past year. It has certainly been a year of changes for me, but what of the non-physical--i.e. "spiritual" house? That, too, needs cleaning, and I feel it is time to tackle it. Most of you know that I've been on this board for a little over two years. I'm sure that some of you were displeased with some of the changes you've noticed over the past year, especially in my behavior and attitudes toward some of you. I have been in a very dark place emotionally given all that has been transpiring in

They could save a lot of time and just head to Vista Lake--we've got myriad dumbarses out here!

Oh, I was thinking you wanted the illegal ones. (you know, pry from your *cold dead hands* )

Do you need gas money to get over to Bama?

I believe, and don't quote me, that there is some of the wet stuff falling from the sky here. The fireworks seem to have been replaced by thunder and lightening now.

Might be the same idiots cuz I'm on the Overlook side of Vista Lake!

Where do you live? (We're in Vista Lake, and I only ask b/c our neighbors have decided to begin an early celebration as well. )

I'm glad someone got that.

I think skinny dipping is 10- o1o

I wonder if Blumpett or BBG have been over there

Well, I suppose this is my year of fresh starts b/c it looks like I'm going to be moving this summer on top of everything else. I'll still be in PC, but we (the kids and I) are looking to move into a house that's bigger than where we are now, and it's a swim community, which is a big plus for the summer. If I don't go completely crazy this year, I'll be doing well! Now, what are those "high stressers" again?

I'm only dancing neked in my house cuz de chirren be gone!

Doubtful.

Well, ya know Darren was replaced at one point.

I know I've not been posting as much over here lately (for a variety of reasons); however, I am sure that some of the regulars have picked up on the fact that I am in the process of getting a divorce from my husband of almost 17 years--my "high school sweatheart." I've not made a huge deal about this b/c I am not one, for the most part, to air my personal business on a public board. Nevertheless, I do feel a little clarification is needed with regards to this matter. It has been a very difficult couple of months for me and my kids, but we are slowly but surely working through things.
