Kim.

I think this is such an interesting topic you raise. I believe experiences are different for everyone according to their circumstances. I had some tough teenage years and was generally different from a lot of my peers. Circumstances were such that I had never given myself the time to experiment and socialize with friends because of the complexity of familial issues I was dealing with. I'm in my twenties now and I can partially relate to how you feel. I think what I confront now are different issues and complexity with personal relationships. I have been able to approach both my past and my c

Sipping my second cup of tea and listening to jazz music before bed. Super relaxing.

Relaxed.

Kim!!!! You were an awesome moderator. I know I haven't been around so much the past year, but thanks for all the time you contributed to the forum. Good luck in whatever you're up to!

Happy belated, Arie! I hope you are doing well.

Welcome back, Ashley! Supremely glad you're happy and feeling better! I thought about you recently when I was browsing the forum. Good to know you're back! xo.

I'm already planning into next year.

Very content right now.

Amen. I was at a candlelight vigil at my church to mourn and pray for the families and victims affected by that tragedy this week. ---- Please pray for me, I've had an internal struggle all day today that started right after I left my church service. I think there was something in the sermon that struck a place of the past in me and offered mixed consolation. I will meditate on those words over the next few days. Also, I've felt a little down all day but I know that won't last for long, but I'm a bit upset now because I know someone who I'm starting to care about a whole lot and this p

Talking to a girl friend of mine. She's awesome!

Hey all, Apologies if this is a topic somewhere in the "Help Desk" forum, though I'm pretty sure I double-checked prior to making a duplicate thread. I recently received a new laptop and started using the Forum on my laptop. The browser I use is Internet Explorer 9 (Update 9.0.8) [no jokes, please lol]. I didn't like my previous experiences on Firefox or Chrome (though, I'm talking a few years ago...haven't tried since). Anyway, when I go to a friend's profile and type a comment, then press "submit" it will submit duplicate (double) comments to the person's profile (and possibly send

I will do Revan. I miss talkin' to ya. Great talk last time, though! ------- Guys (and girls), please pray for my friend. I won't name the person by name, but they just woke me up half an hour ago and I'm talking them through something. It's already 2am, and I had been set to sleep, but wherever the Spirit calls to lead me, including being up at almost 2:30am, I will go if I can make a difference to someone.

Indeed, and many people who are down on 'luck' fail to acknowledge even these little but necessary things sometimes. I've done it before. Of course! ----- I'm grateful for the gifts which God has given me. I was able to use one of them tonight--cooking--and again astounded my sister and her son. I'm also grateful my prayers were answered this week for finding a job. Income's been really tight since my surgery a few months ago. I didn't just get one job, but two jobs (looong story), and though as overwhelming as they can possibly become, I know God has a reward for me at the end of th

I am seeking spiritual renewal, especially in dealing with a high-priority issue in my community. So much new work.

I don't care if you posted 5 months ago, Kimmeh. And oops, yeah re-read that conversation lmao. I laughed so hard. Well, one of the only's? --- Not only would I like to live on a Greek island one day, I'm also considering Fiji. Someone I know, who is on vacation, posted a picture. *drool* It seems so calming and soothing. Ahhh!

Ditto what Matt said! You look great, Arie! Very pretty. And Arie, I miss talking to you! We had some good conversations. Hope you're doing well, xo.

LOLLL. I love that ha-ha. In serious, great shot though. She's gorgeous, and I'd figure Pittsburgh is where they shot "Perks of Being a Wallflower," no?

No one's posted, so I'm double posting!! The rule doesn't count when it's been more than a month since I last posted, right? God has blessed me in more ways than I can currently explain or know right now. I'm grateful that God's placed this wonderful girl in my life and if she saw this she would probably get mad at me for saying it lmao. Our personalities complement each other's pretty well. I'm also grateful to have these friendships that have grown and become supportive on both sides. God has blessed me with stability and confidence in my life. I sat in a meeting with my pastor today

Inspired.

Worried. Most likely over nothing!

I think Karen should post more. I'm so tired of wanting to post in a thread and can't because of double posting. LOL. Forum's good. I've learned a good deal, but I'm not sure if I can say that it's been a major contribution to my faith development. I think any online forum runs the risk of being less influential when traffic ebbs and when a shared community exists solely on the basis of written word and not in-person contact. I think the resourcefulness of this forum and the community it helps is great otherwise. I would also encourage greater open-mindedness and encouragement for others

Drinking a glass of piña colada and finishing up the night.

Shaking my head. Good job, Ardi lol ---- Getting to the last leg of a ride on my bike and giving it my all...pedaling until my legs burn and finally finishing! Oh, and being on a field playing frisbee (etc.) and finishing up the game, all sweaty but happy I made it through the whole thing!

ΧÏόνια πολλά, Dina!! (I hope the Greek was right ...watch it curse you out or something lols. And, no didn't use translator ) I haven't talked to you in over a year, but I hope you're doing very well!! Many happy returns! xo.

Haven't bought anything yet today. I did buy a new bike helmet and sushi for lunch yesterday...sushi wasn't really great for the price of the tray. -shrugs-
