Late Night with the Youth of Today

[scrupulous_stoic]

Lol it is a great movie. So, anything in particular you want to talk about.

[Jennifer5]

Lol it is a great movie. So, anything in particular you want to talk about.

Nope, not really. Anything you want to talk about?

[scrupulous_stoic]

Not really. You are sixteen? So you are a junior in high school?

[Jennifer5]

I'm 16, but I'm only a sophomore.

[scrupulous_stoic]

Oh, I see. So how do you like school?

[Jennifer5]

I love school! I do online, but attend a small private school with grades 1-8.

Do you like school?

[scrupulous_stoic]

The community college I go to is very...boring. It caters to students lower ranking GPA's and teenage mothers, so I feel that, most of the time, I am too smart for my own good. People stare at me.

[Jennifer5]

Is anything other then a community college an option?

[scrupulous_stoic]

I need to save up money so my dream can be fulfilled in two years: going to the Netherlands for college.

[Jennifer5]

I need to save up money so my dream can be fulfilled in two years: going to the Netherlands for college.

Awe, well in that case, being boring for a couple years my be well worth it! It would be incredible to be able to do that!

[scrupulous_stoic]

I'm transferring to a community college in Palm Desert, though. So hopefully it'll be better there. My friend goes there, and she says it is more serious and rigorous.

[Jennifer5]

That'll be nice... notbeing challenged at all is just boring.

[scrupulous_stoic]

It is. Especially when it is 30 miles away and you have to pay for the gas.

[Jennifer5]

Man.... it kinds sucks that it's not a little closer! How long does it take to get there?

[scrupulous_stoic]

Around thirty-five minutes. If old people dont drive in a 45 zone going 30.

[Jennifer5]

:lol: always an important detail

[scrupulous_stoic]

At the moment I'm taking Health, Prespectives on Death and Dying, Algebra, World History from Antiquity to the Renaissance, and World Religions.

[Jennifer5]

Interesting, very interesting. I love the different classes!

[scrupulous_stoic]

I'm attempting a double major in Philosophy and History, since I'm brilliant in both subjects. Hopefully be a professor in Europe.

[Jennifer5]

Interesting! Do you know any professors?


Other then your own I mean.

[scrupulous_stoic]

A few. One lives in Amsterdam, another in Portland, and another in Seattle.

[Jennifer5]

Good people then, right?

[scrupulous_stoic]

Yes. The reason I'm hoping to be a professor is because there is a need for it in Europe.

[Jennifer5]

Really? I didn't think that any place would be lacking in professors...

[scrupulous_stoic]

It is interesting. In order to immigrate to Germany, for instance, one must have a highly skilled career and have a job opening. Many of these immigrants are professors who teach foreign history or English.

[Jennifer5]

That sort of makes sense I guess... having to have a job before you get there. Other wise they end up with a lot of unemployed people just living there.

[scrupulous_stoic]

So, what are your plans for tomorrow?

[Jennifer5]

Just school I think.


What about you... any plans?

[scrupulous_stoic]

Macy's shopping...hopefully. Then school...maybe.

[Jennifer5]

Trouble staying on task? Shouldn't it be school, then shopping?:rolleyes:

[scrupulous_stoic]

I was going to school afterwards.

[Jennifer5]

it still seems backwards

[elcharrom]

At least hes goin to skoo, JENN, I know u been skipping

[Jennifer5]

:lol:

Not true. I go, I just don't do any work some of the time.

[elcharrom]

:lol:

Not true. I go, I just don't do any work some of the time.watever dont even start, dont even jenn, haha wat yall do today?

[scrupulous_stoic]

Jenn, one thing you will learn about me is that Lacoste is far more important than my Health class that is a waste.

[Jennifer5]

Sorry that I vanished for so long there.

I'm already up later then I should be considering that Monday morning will come very quickly. Good night my dear friends. Talk to you some time tomorrow. :smurf:

[scrupulous_stoic]

goodnight!

[Jennifer5]

Not great, but ok.
AfbQQBIwROY


Good night!

[elcharrom]

Not great, but ok.
AfbQQBIwROY


Good night!

Its moew than I do haha, Man I gotta really get back into shape, Last day of skoo last yr we did this pacer test thing, I did 123 laps, today we did one and I cudnt even do 32 :eek: omg i been workin too much, and been eatin too many burgers at work -_-", its real sad that I got tired that easily after only 4 months -_-", did I put enouff -_-"s? haha

[elcharrom]

Well anyways just came on to check what was goin on, Ill be on tomorrow I think? Who knows but right now I gotta get to studyin good night yall

[scrupulous_stoic]

I love the fact I don't look 18 to many people.

[Jennifer5]

Sorry, I haven't had a moment of free time on the computer. I don't even know what all I've been up to, but I'm incredibly tired and off to bed.

Good night! :smurf:

(I'll probably be on a lot more this weekend)

[Jennifer5]

I love the fact I don't look 18 to many people.

Why is that?

[Jennifer5]

What did everyone do today? Was it fun? :)

[scrupulous_stoic]

I am working on finding information on my research paper for World Religions.

[Jennifer5]

I am working on finding information on my research paper for World Religions.

Oooh neat... what's the specific topic for the paper?

[scrupulous_stoic]

Buddhism and art in Afghanistan during the Hellenistic era.

[Jennifer5]

Dave... you should actually stick around and talk to us... don't just read it... :pray:



:love:

[Jennifer5]

Buddhism and art in Afghanistan during the Hellenistic era.

Wow... that sentence made me feel really stupid. Interesting though! I love learning about those kind of things. :)

[scrupulous_stoic]

I do too, but the Internet seems to be failing me. I get the same paragraph from all the sources I have seen thus far.

[Jennifer5]

How long does this paper have to be?

[scrupulous_stoic]

Six pages. I'm going to visit the library tomorrow.

[Jennifer5]

Six pages. I'm going to visit the library tomorrow.

That sounds like an incredible idea! Do you any sort of book or anything you've studied in class about this?

[Jennifer5]

Alright... sorry, I'm not any help.

I'm gonna go to sleep now... I'm tired and mama's mad because my sister and I didn't take care of some things we were supposed to today, because we were to tired.... :o


:smurf: Good night!

[Jennifer5]

How was your evening Bennett?


(and did I spell that correctly?)

[scrupulous_stoic]

It's good. Yeah, you spelt it correctly.

[Jennifer5]

It's good. Yeah, you spelt it correctly.

What'd you do today?

[scrupulous_stoic]

Well, I went to the library, only to find that it didnt have any books I can use for my paper, and then I went back home.

[Jennifer5]

Man, that sucks.

Did anything good happen today?

[scrupulous_stoic]

I got three other books that are irrelevent to my paper.

[Jennifer5]

Good! Are you making good progress on that?

[scrupulous_stoic]

On the books? Yes, I've read one chapter of one.

[Jennifer5]

Yeah... this paper sounds far to complicated... :rolleyes:

But on the other hand, I suppose that's a good thing... ?

[scrupulous_stoic]

It is an easy paper to write, but, alas, my reliable sources that I need are not scholarly.

So, my other books not pertaining to my paper will do.

[Jennifer5]

:lol: At least you have it figured out.

[scrupulous_stoic]

Well, I need to read some more while I have the time...

[Jennifer5]

When's it due? (even though you may have already told me)

[scrupulous_stoic]

November. I hope to have it done within October.

[Jennifer5]

Wow... you still have a lot of time, you should be fine.

[scrupulous_stoic]

That's why I'm reading now. Something to do in my spare time.

[Jennifer5]

Smart.

I'm gonna go to bed now, good night. :smurf:

[rainbow7]

I do agree with that, so I do see some good.

Hey you guys, I'm u-dog's spouse....I don't post often cuz I'm kind of overloaded with responsibilities in my life right now......but I pop in from time to time to try to keep up to date with everyone.....

and I have to jump in since you are talking about FOF. If you visit their website now you will see that they are urging everyone to contact their legislators to urge them to oppose the hate crimes bill. IMHO, this is about as inconsistent with family values as you can get.

I will admit that I haven't been able to bring myself to read any of Dobson's recent books. I became livid when I encountered his "Dare to Discipline" which advocated hitting little children with sticks......and as far as I know, he hasn't officially recanted. I would be very surprised if his advice has changed significantly from this authoritarian stance.

Please continue to use the excellent critical thinking skills that all of you have demonstrated in this forum, and approach FOF with skepticism. In my job I spend an awful lot of time trying to help families heal and undo the damage that organizations like FOF have done.

Sorry to intrude, but I couldn't keep silent!

I completely understand what you're saying Polly, but I don't think you fully understand what we were saying.

We stated that yes, they have a lot of issues and cause a lot of problems, but they do do good from time to time. I really think that their intentions are good, they don't realize how many people they hurt.

Does that make any sense?

Awww, how cute! You and u-dog have corresponding avatars!

I tried reading "Raising Boys." I got get past the part where Dobson states he knows more than the American Psyciatric Association.

Don't worry, I have no interest in FOF. Actually, I despise them.

[Jennifer5]

I want to SCREAM...


...bad weekend, anyone want to talk to me?

[scrupulous_stoic]

I really dont get my math class. My take-home test was just two worksheets I already did, only mixed around.

[Jennifer5]

wow... I think.... maybe.... possibly.... that school sucks

[scrupulous_stoic]

I think so too, but thankfully I'm transferring next semester.

[Jennifer5]

Yeah... school just shouldn't be that simple. Scary to think that people can actually get a degree there.

[scrupulous_stoic]

What really confuses me is that a girl transferred from there to Yale. I really wonder if she could of handled the first day there.

[Jennifer5]

Maybe she just didn't want to actually work for anything

[scrupulous_stoic]

Maybe she just didn't want to actually work for anything

???

She'd have to get a really, really good transcript to even get considered for Yale.

[Jennifer5]

I don't know... it seems like a crazy move.




How was your day?

[scrupulous_stoic]

Ok, I guess. Health was boring as always. And I was really confused about the changes my teacher is making. She also left for an hour during class.

[Jennifer5]

That school sounds really messed up

[scrupulous_stoic]

Oh, it is. The publications have major English errors, and everything isnt planned out well. The only sanity is my History, Perspectives on Death and Dying, and World Religions class

[Jennifer5]

That's messed up...


So, how is life outside of school? Does it exsist?

[scrupulous_stoic]

LOL not really anymore. I finally saw my best friend today. She's so caught up in work that I havent seen her for two weeks.

[Jennifer5]

Man... that sucks... I know that feeling.

Thats what happened to me last year, all I ever did was school.... but this summer I got to know some of the kids from the school a bit better so I get to spend a lot of time with them even outisde of school... it's nice. :love:

[scrupulous_stoic]

Well, I had a lot of friends last year, but everyone moved away. It is sad. Now my friend and I are the only ones left in town, with the exception of her boyfriend, who is awesome too, and my other friend.

[Jennifer5]

What does moving away have to do with not having friends? Why can't you stay in contact?

[scrupulous_stoic]

People have there own schedules, priorities change, and all that. I'm still in contact with some of them, but I can't go hang out with them like I used to. And CMC doesnt have a nice crowd to find new friends.

[Jennifer5]

That sucks

[scrupulous_stoic]

What really sucks was that some of my friends showed their true colors right before they left, so now they are nothing but idiots.

[Jennifer5]

What do you mean by true colors... anything that bad?

[scrupulous_stoic]

Yeah, it wasnt directed towards me, but it was horrible.

Sorry, I get carried away and get absorbed in my world. How are you?

[Jennifer5]

No, it's cool..


I'm alright, off to bed soon

[scrupulous_stoic]

Anything exciting happen today?

[Jennifer5]

umm... my mom was upset and took the day off, so we cleaned the house then just took care of some stuff... nothing great, but really nice to spend the day with her

oh yah and I my uncle said my dad got married friday night... idk if it's true or not, but probably

[scrupulous_stoic]

Oh, wow, do you talk to him?

[Jennifer5]

nope, not at all

[scrupulous_stoic]

I understand. I don't talk to my father at all. Havent all my life.

[Jennifer5]

I haven't talk to him in the real sense in a few years... haven't seen him in person in just over a year.... but there has been email contact just asking him to please stop bothing us, which of course didn't work

[scrupulous_stoic]

I'm really sorry. I have a restraining order against my dad, so he doesnt try anything. Anyways, I think he doesnt like me anyways.

[Jennifer5]

I'm really sorry. I have a restraining order against my dad, so he doesnt try anything. Anyways, I think he doesnt like me anyways.

My mom has a restraining order against him.... and it also states (wait, or is this part the divorce papers? I don't remember), that he's not to disturb the peace of the home or any of us. How you enforce that, idk, but he's failing to obey it.

At this point we're forced to be in therapy, which I'm not so happy about... but if I can figure out how to prove that he is infact married now and that we never received an invitation, I think that will help get us out of this mess. Or at least I hope :pray:

[scrupulous_stoic]

Oh wow. I'm so sorry. I hope all works out for you and your mom.

[Jennifer5]

Thanks. Right now, I just need to figure out if it's true... I really think it will help out a lot, I mean, I think I made it really clear to the therapist last week how I felt, but I think this will confirm how he is in a way that he can't fix it.... meaning that there's a small chance that he won't have as much to say about this whole situation.


(ahhhh... rambling.. sorry, that probably didn't make sense)

[elcharrom]

Itll be allright jenn, you are in my prayers :D and sorry if its weird that all of a sudden I pop back into the scene after bein out for a while haha, but just to let u know jenn, itll be allright in the end :D I guarantee it.

[Jennifer5]

Thanks Jorge. :)


We drove by his church the other day and say the sign "Congratulations Tom and Pam"... so I know for sure that they're married now.

[rainbow7]

Jennifer, I don't know what I'm doing still awake, but I just wanted to say how furious it makes me that you had to find out your dad is remarried by driving by a church and seeing a sign. It just floors me that he would not tell you himself.....and that he isn't in your life.....Sometimes grown-ups are completely clueless about the effects of their actions on their kids. It would be perfectly understandable if you had emerged from these changes in your family as a confirmed cynic, and I am so glad that you have not! I enjoy reading your posts; you are wise beyond your years.
Good night,

Polly

[Jennifer5]

Thanks :love:

The news I received today bothering me a lot more though...

He once again is working to get us out of our school (the one we've been attending since we moved here in '02) and has offered to use out college money (which he can't leagally touch), to send us to boarding school either the one a couple hours away or one out of state.

:o yeah... we're gonna see what we can do to remove the rest of his parental rights.

[scrupulous_stoic]

Oh, wow. Is there anything we can do?

[Jennifer5]

Nah.. just legal stuff I think... being here with all of you is very helpful... and the people at the school are incredible. I couldn't be in a better situation then I am to deal with all of this stuff. :love:

[elcharrom]

Gah Jenn wish I could talk to you some :'( I wont even be able to get on tomorrow :mad: haha gah good night yall :D

[scrupulous_stoic]

Well, let us know if there is anything we can do to help...

[Jennifer5]

Thank you both... :love:

I'll keep you updated... it'll probably be a while before I know anything though... my mom will have to talk to her lawyer... :rolleyes:

[scrupulous_stoic]

I hate when I reflect on past relationships.

[Jennifer5]

What's up?

[scrupulous_stoic]

Eh, I've been thinking about a former relationship. I've been reading The Persian Boy, and it made me think of the past, present, and possible future relationships and lack thereof. One has been sticking in my mind in particular.

[Jennifer5]

I'm tired kid... don't make me keep asking questions.... tell me what's bothering you...


unless you don't want to talk about it???

:love:

[scrupulous_stoic]

What bothers me is that I'm not progressing as far as relationships go. I am stuck as single and with no prospects of a relationship forming anytime in the near future. Thus, I'm still stuck in the past, and with the heartaches I've endured.

[Jennifer5]

Sorry.. :love:



If it makes you feel any better... I'm the 16 year old who hasn't had a first kiss... much less date or anything for that matter.

[scrupulous_stoic]

I hear you. I was the same at 16. But last year changed that. Granted, I'm a virgin, but every person I was with was similar to me, but so different in all the ways that mattered. Particularly one person named Eric.

[Jennifer5]

Sorry...


..... single doesn't have to be bad though you know... infact, there are a lot of people that actually really enjoy those moments

[scrupulous_stoic]

I know, I was like that. But the book sort of changed that.

[Jennifer5]

Boy... I don't know anything about this book, except that it's bad...


Please, put the book down. Remember that you're amazing and that you will find your perfect someone when the time is right. You're incredibly young, worrying about this now is crazy.





...and right now... I'm going to be a really sucky friend and sign off, because I can barely keep my head up. Love you boy... don't let that book go to your head. :love:

Good night :smurf:

[scrupulous_stoic]

Oh, no, the book is amazing! It was just something that occured today.

[u-dog]

Bennet!

This too shall pass! Relationship possibilities arise without warning and not on a schedule. Be open and be attentive -- put yourself places where you can meet the kind of people you want to meet. Get involved in those activities and projects around which you have passion and interest, since that is where people who are "like" you will also be. Most important, be yourself. :) "Mr Right" will find you when the time is ripe!

[scrupulous_stoic]

I'm trying. I'm transferring next semester to Palm Desert, which is a stark difference to where I go now, even though they are only an hour away from each other. There is more diversity there than there is here, and a much accepting community. Also, it's easier to find a job there...

[Jennifer5]

ERRRR... crazy week ahead... hope I'll still have time on here.

It doesn't help that I'm behind in a bunch of schoolwork.... this week there's normal school +

Monday- Open House (meaning, I won't get to go home until probably at least 9:00 tomorrow night)

Tuesday- Swimming... which I love, bust sucks if you're tired.

Wednesday- Therapy... although it actually may just be my sister who has to go this week... it still messes with everything and makes the next couple days harder.

Thursday- Swimming again... although, I'll be wasted by then and might skip

Friday- the sweet day of rest (other then school and probably work at the school)... before the weekend sets in.

Weekend---- paint downstairs bedroom+ work on clearing out the garage.



I'm tired just thinking about it. Good night! Pray that our open house gets a good turn out and goes well.... or at least gets a really good turn out, I know we can impress anyone interested. :love:

[Jennifer5]

oh yeah... and I also have to figure out what's going on the 7SN Seattle... I need to go to that if it's happening. :rolleyes:

[scrupulous_stoic]

I hope all goes well, Jennifer!

[Jennifer5]

I hope all goes well, Jennifer!

It went really well tonight. Lame turnout though. :mad:

We all had a lot of fun though, just the families from the school... my family :love:

[scrupulous_stoic]

Well, despite the lack of people, I'm glad it went well!

[Jennifer5]

Thanks :)



Now... I kinda hate busy schedules because I got home just a little bit ago, but my mom has to be at work by 8:00 in the morning... therefore, I must get ready for bed. :rolleyes:

:smurf:

[Jennifer5]

Just curious... does anyone use this thread at all anymore??

Haven't seen Bennett in a while, but then again I have really been on either.

Haven't seen Jorge.

Haven't seen Ryanne on here.

Austin... where are you? :'(

[Jennifer5]

I understand that. School has been crazy for me as well. I'm really far behind but at least I got my grades up to A's and B's now. :rolleyes:



What else have you been up to?

[scrupulous_stoic]

Sorry, I've been busy, and only have been focusing on the LGBT and religious belief thread lately.

[Jennifer5]

I understand. I haven't even seen that thread... :rolleyes:

[scrupulous_stoic]

I dont know. It now has resulted in "what ifs?"

[Jennifer5]

That kind of sucks....

[u-dog]

I dont know. It now has resulted in "what ifs?"


Just take a deep breath, Bennett! Grab ahold of that puppy and DRAG ITS ASS BACK ON TOPIC!! You are not bashful. You are good at it! :)

[Jennifer5]

Awe, sweet Dave look out for the everyone as always :love:


How've you been?

[u-dog]

Awe, sweet Dave look out for the everyone as always :love:


How've you been?

Finer than frog's hair, darlin! how about you?:cool:

[Jennifer5]

pretty much the same I'd say... have some stuff I need to fix, but once I take care of that things will be much better.

[Jennifer5]

.....:cool:.....

[tpdncr4christ]

Keep it up... it's fun.

[Jennifer5]

How has everyone been... it seems like a lot of us have been really quite (busy I'm sure) lately.


What has everyone been doing?

[scrupulous_stoic]

I've been going through a personal spiritual journey that I think might prove fruitful in the near future.

[Jennifer5]

I've been going through a personal spiritual journey that I think might prove fruitful in the near future.

Sounds interesting :)

[scrupulous_stoic]

It is. I havent felt this way in some time.

[Jennifer5]

I'm glad things are going so well! :)

[scrupulous_stoic]

If you want, read my post "soul searching" in the faith section.

[Jennifer5]

It's not that I don't want to... but I really need to go to bed. I'm sorry, I'll try and read it some time soon though, alright?

Good night :smurf:

[Jennifer5]

When it comes down to it, was there really any point in having this thread? I just end up talking to myself it seems... no one else uses it.:o

[Jennifer5]

Why do all the kids always seem to leave? :(


Austin, we're the only one's left I think.

[tpdncr4christ]

in the world of craziness only you and i are the rocks. the unchanging.. the poetic irony.

[Jennifer5]

that makes our world a sad one.... this place is wonderful and they're missing out on so much... as it is, I feel like I'm not on here nearly enough.

[tpdncr4christ]

good busy crazy insane. i was at my store today and had a line that wrapped around the store. in the first two hours of business we sold more than we do in an average day. omg it was insane. now i've got to be asleep before i have to get up tomorrow and start again! yay for retail!

[Jennifer5]

that sounds insane... I don't personally understand the 'thanksgiving weekend sale' thing... where everyone goes crazy and has to spend thousands of dollars on christmas gifts within just a few days...

I'm glad to like it though!

I've been going through a personal spiritual journey that I think might prove fruitful in the near future.

This sounds like a fortune cookie :laughing: :cookie:.

How's school?

[tpdncr4christ]

haha sorry... i fell asleep.

school is good.

[Jennifer5]

no problem :)

Glad school is going well for you!

Did you realize that we're being discriminated against?
Everyone thinks that it’s ok that they’re just going to meet up in NY and have a huge party and leave us behind because we’re younger... :disagree:

I see. Very well. How are you doing? Anything new in your life?

I'm doing well! My mom is starting and Organic Cleaning Business, so that's been keeping us plenty busy!


How about you?

[scrupulous_stoic]

Working at Costco at the moment, and moving out next month to Palm Springs!

[Jennifer5]

Sounds like fun! :cool:

Ugh...I am growing weary of my job. Management is ironically mismanaging things, and I'm suffering because of it.

(continued from other side (http://www.soulforce.org/forums/showthread.php?p=55260#post55260)) try and connect in the late night youth thread.

I put so much energy into my responses, I tend to like them to be seen. Not just egotistically and entertainingly, but also in case it might help someone, or they can relate to it.

But at the same time, I don’t always like the attention that is drawn when an old thread is pulled back to the top. At least this thread is fixed - so, knowing all that, I might be more inclined to respond sooner than usual.

Anyway, just a thought.

(((hugs))) too :love:

Ok, I tried that recently with my recent God thread as far as not getting back to it. Just jumped in and said so and then left. I think I gave it the length of the song I was listening to at the time. Anyway, I'm remembering it, and this post is also an exercise in it.

Yay, I did it again!

Good!!

So, what have you been up to? Still in Florida?

[Jennifer5]

Yay, I did it again!

:lol:

<<yeah, but that was longer than that

<<yeah, but that was long then that

Yeah, but that was just me responding to myself, anyway...

Still in Naples you mean. Yes. But I'm thinking of moving to Fort Lauderdale. I went over there for the pride festival, and apparently it's super duper gay even when it's not pride weekend.

So it's only a couple hours away as far as a move goes, which solves A LOT of problems in comparison to moving back to Chicago.

I think It'll work out, I've been much more motivated lately as a result.

Sounds great! I thought you were excited about the idea of moving back to Chicago though? What happened with that? Is Fort Lauderdale better, or just easier?

I think it's better because it's easier. Plus the super-gay thing helps.

Definately!

Did you go to the reuniun(sp?) in Texas?

[Emproph]

Plus, when I was there the other week, I bought two pair of ridiculously expensive shorts from the store called Tops and Bottoms, that fit my ugly body to a tee.

I now no longer hate my body while I'm wearing these shorts.

No, I couldn't. It was a non-smoking hotel. :(

This is a good thing! But you shouldn't feel that way to start with!

:smashy:BAD! You shouldn't smoke!

I don't know if I was told that before or not... but if I was it didn't stick. Plus you never lit-up in front of me, so it's not like I have an image in my mind.

...but really, that's no reason to miss out! :(

I wanted to go, but by the time I even bothered to read the e-mail to do the research to see if it would be possible... I realized it was that weekend. So that never could've happened. But I wish I could've been there, it would've been a lot of fun!

Well, I’ll let my karma know, or perhaps you could talk to it, it doesn’t seem to want to listen to me…

You need to work on that, "love yourself" concept I think!

It seems like sometimes you forget how lovable you are... I guess that's part of needing to move. You need to get out of Naples, doesn't seem like a good place for you.:love:
