Oh, It makes a lot of sense - After I stopped partying I went back to hanging out with my high school friends. There are six of us and to this day we still get together to play poker at least twice a year. Its really odd to have kids that are older than we were when we first met. Even now after 30+ years, some married, some divorced, all with kids and so on, we still have a bond that will definitely last a lifetime. Its great to know there are people that you can talk to or count on no matter what life throws at you.

When I got sick most of my "friends" bailed.

First of all, Gannet, I would like to apologize for my insensitivity yesterday; I wondered if this were some sort of hoax or simply, as I wrote earlier, proselytizing. At this point, it would appear that I was wrong. If you will allow me, I would like to welcome you to the Cellar. There are many good people here, with loads of heart. There can be a great deal of love to be felt, but I would like to caution against coming on too strongly with scripture quotation. As can be readily seen, most here don't take to it when we feel it is being foisted upon us.

What makes you think you were wrong, Uisge Beatha?

Well, Bruce, that very quote could simply be taken as a genuine request for opinions. Both you and wolf made statements in the Even the Devil can quote Scripture... thread that lead me to believe this is not a hoax. While it still tends to come across as proselytizing, Gannet might wish to lighten up a bit and join the gang. I have been a little upset with a few comments at times (as, quite likely, others have been), but I don't want to let a few ruffled feathers on my part keep me from enjoying all the good that is to be had here.

Considering the questions asked, before demanding thorough answers in this non-hypothetical matter, are absolutely unanswerable without background information, how can it be anything but a set up for a sermon?
|
Perhaps, only time will tell. I admit freely that I am a big sucker; I fall for jokes and tricks far more than most others do. When I stop to think abut things, I'd rather look foolish while being too nice than just be brusque or nasty. I'm not saying that you are being rude; I just thought better of what I said yesterday. At this point, the worst that can happen is that everyone gets a good laugh at me; I've gotten past making a fool of myself too many times to worry.

I don't know. I'm certainly not going to feel bad about my posts. My relationship with God is my personal business, and it rankles me when someone talks down to a group of people because said group hasn't given away their DVD players and cans of pork-n-beans to the poor. This gannett knows not what my trials and tribulations have been.
I also believe God has a sense of humor, or at least recognizes the importance of one in humans. With all my irreverent and dark comments, what is in my heart is good and means well. So, still, gannett can kiss my forsookin' ass. Fire and brimstone doesn't cut it in my world, which is simply a world of a soul trying to be happy and stay sane and to make someone smile from time to time. |

Thank you, Uisge. You're very kind. :)
This is the kind of thing I'm talking about. People reaching out with acts of kindness. Sometimes we even reach out with sadness, sometimes with anger, sometimes with laughter. If God doesn't understand the intricate fabric of our lives, who will? |

lol!!!!
I think you should stalk her until she begs you for divine mercy and to be lead back into the flock. Can't you see when she needs your help? If she's a friend you need to make her repent. It's your duty. God I hope I don't know you....do I know you? |
gannet never came back to analyse our answers :cry:
