jockParticipantDouble wow Anita! Fascinating!
I’ve had some really dirty factory jobs where I’d go home and have to use the hose before I entered the house. Hard in winter!
jockParticipanta breakthough!praise the Buddha!!
thanks to everyone

I feel the pressure is off me now to start ones
now I need to reply π
jockParticipantThat’s the first time I’ve ever given tips to someone on how to use a computer/the internet. π
jockParticipantNot sure about the Mansons family connection to the movie as I haven’t seen it yet.
jockParticipantPress FUN in forums.
it will take you to the list of threads on FUN.
Down the bottom, under the threads, you will see TOPIC (for title)and then a box to write your first post.
jockParticipantAnita
A PQ. Do you have family heritage there?
jockParticipantI’m old enough to be most people’s father here, hopefully not grandfather yet… π
jockParticipantAnd maybe it would be odd to extroverts, but to be frank there are a lot of things extroverts do that I just donβt fully get either.
we’re on the same page there π
jockParticipanthey glet
I used to live in japan but it sounds way stricter where you are..
no google on the net? amazing!!
jockParticipantI haven’t had a loss like yours but that doesn’t mean I don’t feel some sadness for you. Perhaps these kinds of experiences make us more compassionate to others that experience the same loss. And we can always use more compassion in the world.
Patience? Don’t expect to come out of it quickly?
Anyway, hoping you can reconnect to life in the not too distant future.
Good luck Jessa
jockParticipantjessa
nice post if you don’t mind me saying
hope you hang round here for a while
jockParticipantSometimes I’m controlled by a part of me who follows “should” protocol.(Pious Pete)
I should see the good in this person.
I should like them.
But I guess people can pick up pretty quickly whether you really like them or not.
If they look like a lone wolf or rejected by others, I make a special effort to be kind to them. This comes from a sincere part of me because I feel like a lone wolf myself. I’m not being patronising then and in fact I often connect well with lone wolves. They have the courage to stand alone and not play politics in order to survive. That’s something I’d like to think that I do too. With higher self-esteem, I can do it more often.
jockParticipantTime is precious but we don’t realise it until it is too late.
I can remember being bored in class as a kid sometimes or on long summer holidays. I didn’t realise they were golden years at the time, so precious.
When we get bored, we think we are stuck in some kind of time warp that will last forever. We don’t realise that in the scheme of things, it is just a microsecond, a flash in the pan, when compared to our whole life, or indeed universal time.
I’m 57 now. I know the next 13 years will fly and suddenly I’m 70. Then 80 and 85 and facing death. To think that I would waste any of that time being bored or stuck in some petty grievance in my head about some one else, is pathetic. Buddhism is to truly wake up. Wake up from our limited mind. Wake up to universal time.
Wake up and smell the coffee Batman!
