Well your WK's came to your rescue. You must have really whined. Helps to have the same political affiliation with the mods, eh? Touché
Awww, Becky nicely put. One last thing....I try and concentrate on the time I had with a person. It helps me celebrate their life and not mourn their death.One thing I find strange is that people talk about ending their own life for good reason yet question another motives for doing that exact same thing! Strange.
Sa_artman, TexRic and Mr Giz. I hope ya'll are still with us in this life and haven't quit taking your meds! Name calling on the internet can be such a trying experience for the mentally unbalanced. Ya'll are forgiven buts let's please try and be more civil next time.Originally Posted by WTF

They consider me a liberal around these parts.....not that I agree with them if it puts me in your camp.
Dang!Two liberals agreeing with me in the same thread? Now I need to go get in a good workout to improve my mood!

, maybe even the OP, might have some real issues and are looking for answers or even just someone to bounce things off. Originally Posted by Sa_artmanYou go to hell for lying and wacking off will effect your vision so your future is looking kinda bleak.

. I am the original poster, and have been following the thread closely because I felt that all of the people who took the time to respond had something important to say. The reality is if you really want to go back , and read this thread from the top it was your post that threw it off the rails not WTF's.WTF had posted his opinion which I had responded to, and we had a perfectly respectful debate about it.It was you who came on here , and tried to turn it into something more .
Please don't get me wrong,I have been known to throw a few threads off the rails myself, so I have no problem with that, but it seems like some people are forgetting where the drama started at.

I am not Original Becky if that is what you mean, although I do have my original momentsWell I don't see where he ever offers anything that has any sort of deep meaning to it, but if you feel so, than apparently it wasn't that serious of a discussion. It is an open forum and I've see many a thread veer off for less than that. If you read his first deep heartfelt comment which was obviously just thrown in there for shock value, I don't see where my comment was that out of place and brought any drama. That started after.

Your so funny how do you come up with that stuff. Think of it on your own? LOL. Sad lonely man. I feel honored, must have got under your skin if you thought enough to put me in your tag. Originally Posted by Sa_artmanI just followed your instructions.

After that, I'd gladly buy you a beer and welcome you back into gentleman status. Come on you can do it.

For the people who originally did respond to this thread, I do want to say thank you.This is a tough subject to talk about, and deal with.I think that many of you were brave to have shared your experience here, and it really did help me to understand this from a different point of view.
OK I am off to watch Tots, & Tiaras now , and I still have no idea what a WK is.

On a serious note...check out "Stumbling on Happiness''. It talks about death of loved ones and how we precieve we will act and how we actually do.

What would you do right now if you learned that you were going to die in ten minutes? Would you race upstairs and light that Marlboro you've been hiding in your sock drawer since the Ford administration? Would you waltz into your boss's office and present him with a detailed description of his personal defects? Would you drive out to that steakhouse near the new mall and order a T-bone, medium rare, with an extra side of the really bad cholesterol? Hard to say, of course, but of all the things you might do in your final ten minutes, it's a pretty safe bet that few of them are things you actually did today...............
................But an optical illusion is not interesting simply because it causes everyone to make a mistake; rather, it is interesting because it causes everyone to make the same mistake. If I saw a chalice, you saw Elvis, and a friend of ours saw a paper carton of moo goo gai pan, then the object we were looking at would be a very fine inkblot but a lousy optical illusion. What is so compelling about optical illusions is that everyone sees the chalice first, the faces next, and then—flicker flicker—there's that chalice again. The errors that optical illusions induce in our perceptions are lawful, regular, and systematic. They are not dumb mistakes but smart mistakes—mistakes that allow those who understand them to glimpse the elegant design and inner workings of the visual system.
The mistakes we make when we try to imagine our personal futures are also lawful, regular, and systematic. They too have a pattern that tells us about the powers and limits of foresight in much the same way that optical illusions tell us about the powers and limits of eyesight. That's what this book is all about. Despite the third word of the title, this is not an instruction manual that will tell you anything useful about how to be happy. Those books are located in the self-help section two aisles over, and once you've bought one, done everything it says to do, and found yourself miserable anyway, you can always come back here to understand why. Instead, this is a book that describes what science has to tell us about how and how well the human brain can imagine its own future, and about how and how well it can predict which of those futures it will most enjoy. This book is about a puzzle that many thinkers have pondered over the last two millennia, and it uses their ideas (and a few of my own) to explain why we seem to know so little about the hearts and minds of the people we are about to become. The story is a bit like a river that crosses borders without benefit of passport because no single science has ever produced a compelling solution to the puzzle. Weaving together facts and theories from psychology, cognitive neuroscience, philosophy, and behavioral economics, this book allows an account to emerge that I personally find convincing but whose merits you will have to judge for yourself.
