I just wanted to say it: I'm happy!
In fact, I have happiness a plenty, so if you are lacking in that department, have some of mine!
Skimming through the usual doom and gloom here, I could not help but feel grateful that I no longer want or need anything to happen in my life to be happy. Of course, I expect plenty of things to happen still... but there isn't one thing that must happen in order to fulfill some socially conditioned notion of what happiness might be.
To all you doomers and gloomers: there is still hope for you! want proof? look up some old posts by me... weird, huh?
Likewise, I was reading mattpd's bartender story, thinking: "Bleh!" Matt, no offense, but you can keep all women who respond like that and if that's
all women then, well, too bad for them!
I'll just be on with my merry adventure, thank you very much
cheers,
Jim.
