No, hephzibah, please don't say that. You still have the real hephzibah. All you have to do is be aware of her more often, and imagine yourself as such. There are ways to win. Don't give in. Don't fall asleep and transform into *them* (the purple people eaters ).

You can do it!


I'm working on it. Just getting wore out is all.

The virtual murder and extinction of an entire nation amassing millions and million of Native Americans makes today's transgressions pall in comparison. Let's throw in black slavery, the persecution and murder of American homosexuals, the persecution of American Jews.

Both Black slavery and the Native American's mass murder were often endorsed by conservative Christians of the day.

Hep says Chumly is blind, Chumly says I don't wear rose colored glasses.


Oh, get off your donkey and ride a real thoroughbred, Chumly. You're singing a broken record that has long been played out. There isn't a country in the world that hasn't done those sorts of things in their early history. Those potatoes are overcooked. It's been hundreds of years now. How about getting away from the "oldies" and playing some new tunes, and stop parroting the radicals who don't know their butts from a hole in the ground. You seem smarter than that. Start thinking for yourself.

Ehci... I'm serious though... am I really looking at this from the perspective you say? I'm sincerely curious... I won't be offended if you tell me I am. I'm just sitting here quietly drinking my twisted iced tea, watching the screen get more blurry by the minute... and wondering... who am I? LOL I don't think I'm who I thought I was anymore... I think...

whoooooooo...

Chumly--

You are not looking at this from the perspective of a white, male, property-owning Christian, though. I think that's your problem.


That's right, echi. Convice Chumly that it's best to continue the blame game, and never again regain his power as a verile human being, but remain in a victim mentality. This way, he'll never be a winner in life, but always looking back with resentment. Yes. Steal his future by robbing him of his healthy self-image and bright hope. Go ahead. Make a radical's day. This way, he can be the radical's slave for life. They are the modern-day masters of the "down-trodden".

Then why you lookin at it from they perspective? Shoot. Your people couldn't even buy a house forty years ago. Woman!


Only a fool would think that things were perfect in the past. I remember how it was, even though I'm not that old. And I'm grateful that things have changed for the better, with regard being treated fairly.

Sometimes the best thing is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on homemade bread and taking my Chow for a quick walk. Then I am sure all mysteries of the world will unfold Smile


Try putting a few pecans in with it, and using a banana and a little honey, instead of the jelly. And be sure to share a little with your Chow. Smile

Hi PS,

Do I send a stamped, self-addressed envelope (with a check or money order) for regaining my lost power as a virile human being?

Perhaps you intend to describe the process right here for no additional charges, if I act in the next hour (while supplies last)?

Daizey will not eat peanut butter or bananas, I don't know why.

No, dear Chumly. I have a feeling that you are completely viable. However, Eci seemed to want to sway you into trading your power in for a chance to play the losing blame card, so I straightened him out on a few things.

The only process you might go through is a natural one, so that all the nutriontional is kept intact.

Dogs don't like fruit. All my pets have liked peanut butter. It's cute to watch them chew it. Smile

I know I shouldn't be happy about my current state... deep inside I guess I'm not. I'm sure I'll be sorry in the morning. I don't know though... I don't know where I'm going... I stayed away from alcohol for so long. I did so good. I was on the "I'm not an alcoholic" bandwagon for quite awhile... and now I'm sitting on the edge of the bandwagon dragging my feet on the ground as it moves slowly along the beaten path and finding I don't really give a crap right now if I fall off. Sad I know. Oh well. *shrugs*

I'm sorry, that was so funny that I just had to reply, again. I just can't help myself.

So tell me, Chumly, how do you feel about yourself? Do you really think you'll have to put in an order for it? If so, if I were you, I would get online to the BBB, to make sure that the company is on the up-and-up. You never know if they might try to give you the old bait-and-switch routine.

But in my opinion, you would be wasting your money and time even ordering. Why fix something that isn't broken?

I just said my mind... lol too bad you couldn't see it though because I got pipped... oh well, not retyping all that. It was probably just a bunch of BS anyway. I just want to apologize now because I know I shouldn't be here right now. I should have just kept my mouth shut like I wanted to originaly. Will I ever learn? Rolling Eyes I guess I better go before I stick my foot any farther down my throat and just don't even want to show my face around here anymore... nite all...


LOL Poet... you crack me up. You take care of yourself now... you here?

It's never the same short term, it's not a manic kind'a thing though. Longer term very positive, shorter term depends on many variables: how much sleep, exercise, laughter, love, sadness, pain, loss; they all play a part on my shorter term perceptions. Longer term, as mentioned, I like Smile And you?
