I'm jealous Tish, I have to go to work soon. I'd much rather hang out with burners.

Anyone want one?

I don't know honestly. I feel OK, but being emotionally where I am right now is not good. I'm going to take a friend's advice and find some time to meditate this weekend. I need to let my inner voice speak to me when my mind is calm.

Gin and Tonic coming up.

That sounds like a good idea.
Sometimes it's good to just sit and think....even if it takes a few days!

Thanks for the GnT!

It's something I usually don't have time for, but I need to make the time somehow.

Yes, I believe you do need to make the time, maybe you can find a few minutes at a time to think things out.

I'm actually looking for a long stretch of a couple of hours. I may get up early tomorrow before everyone else and do it then.

Hey kids, I’ll have one too.

When I was going threw my turmoil I ended up walking the dog late at night some times for hours.
It got me out of the house and gave me time to think, while being out in nature. a long walk in the woods is even better.

No dog. Two cats. I really don't like animals anyway. Been living with them my whole life pretty much because other people like them, and then I end up being the on taking care of them when they die.

More drinks.

Thank Sput.

Mean time I suppose letting it drop would be best so we can be the distraction from the problems of life that we tend to be good at.

Yeah!!! I had the time of my life!! Went a week ealry to set up. Had a theme camp: Camp Bahama Mama's -- a tropical island oasis in the middle of the forest!! It rocked!! We had a tiki bar, wore sarongs, drank rum, got drunk, danced, was a GREETER, spanked asses, went swiimu=ing (I am such a wimp with this southern humidity...), got drunk, danced, ate great food, got drunk, got laid :) , had FUN!!!!! And now I am a team leader for the Transformus Census Bureau, a co-temleader for the LNT team, still a greeter...and next year Bahama Mama's will be back better than ever -- with Immunity Challenges involving BEER. First person to guzzle down their beer gets immunity...the loser gets voted off the island and has to go get spanked a dozen times by 12 different people in order to get voted back on to the island.

I'm gonna drink my beer re-e-e-e-e-e-ealllly s-l-o-w during that challenge. :lol:

I have missed y'all so much. My life has gotten so busy. Got a job at the Dept of General Surgery in the Medical Education Building of a Trauma Hospital, got a new condo, got a kitty, am involved in all these Transformus groups, metting all these southern burners and making friends, volunteering at the CarEVIL Halloween Benefit....

Fuck. If I get much happier than this, I'm gonna explode.... Life is really good out here.

Wonderful!
I'm glad you are happy because you were so worried before.
I tried the Transformus site but a lot of the links were down. Do you know anything about that?

They're in the process of revamping it...making it better than ever...adding new pics and stuff about volunteering and all. It's so cool there at Mysteria/Deerfields/Transformus. I really feel like I have come HOME. These folks are so cool.

I am startingto say Y'ALL a lot. :)

Another thing folks say a lot out here is HEY. The first time someone yelled HEY to me, I said WHAT?!! And they looked at me funny and said HEY!! And I said WHAT??!! I felt pretty silly when they told me it meant HELLO. :)
