YEAH :(

I am still salvaging what little bits and pieces I can after the virus. There isn't much left to be honest. I erased all my stories because there were more bad than good files. The new story, the vampire story, had one good chapter and one bad chapter. The good news with that is chapter one was okay. Many of my other files sadly had to be erased including my list of questions for the random rolled questions. Don't even get me started on my pictures that is an entirely different set of problems. Well no, I suppose the problems are actually one and the same.

Computer is Down

My computer is in the shop for awhile. I managed to get nasty virus on it. Hopefully I'll have it back on Tuesday.

Random Rolled Question

Was there a teacher or teachers who had a particularly strong influence on your life? What lessons did they teach you? If you were to see them tomorrow, would they be proud of you?

Yeah…there were a few teachers that I owe props too. I'm not going to use their names of course. Mrs M. did her best to encourage me to read and explore the world around me. She also realized that I had a problem with math and sort of set the whole ball moving in getting me help. Mrs. H has had a major life change and has since changed her name, I believe. She was my first LRE ( L.D. ) teacher. She also encouraged me learn and to keep learning. Another Mrs H. instilled in me a love for writing and reading and did it without me realizing it at the time. Doctor G. in college put me my current writing path. She saw something in my writing that I didn't at the time. Mrs. B taught me not just the sciences in college but she gave me a friendship that has lasted for many years.

I can't say that they would all be proud of where my life has taken me. I think each would be proud in their way for me.

Hey Gang

Being active or semi-active in my church comes with a few challenges. One of those trials for me is dealing with people. For me this may be the second hardest part other than the obvious. I don't really associate with that many people at church because I don't have that much in common with them. I don't have kids, I'm not married, and even if I was, I doubt very much that they hang with me anyway. The only thing that we have is shared between is our beliefs ( well most of them ). There are three categories of people at church. There are the people who don't get me, they are the ones that I don't talk to and they don't talk to me. Then there are the people who talk to me because they have no choice for whatever reason. Finally, there are people that I do talk to because I want too.

Now it makes little sense for me to get into the other challenges because, I don't want to run my mouth on things that I've already blogged about till the cows come home. Maybe I just mention them briefly. There isn't exactly a recognized program for finding my partner in the church. My marriage will never be recognized by the church. I could choose to ignore what sometimes feels like a huge part of me. Anyway, the first paragraph is really what I wanted to talk about and I lost my train of thought. I need to get to bed.

** My ribs are feeling so much better by the way. Thanks to everyone for the good thoughts and prayers

Random Rolled Question

What questions would you ask your great-great-grandparents if you could chat with them today?

Hmm…I'd want to know if they would hate for being gay? What was it like growing up for them? What they think of the year 2012? What work was like? What made them happy? What an average day was like?

Random Rolled Questions

What, or who, gets on your nerves?

You really want to know what gets on my last nerve? Its people who gripe around a situation without really knowing the entire story. Another thing that gets on my last nerve are people who make assumptions about other people. People who waste my time. People who overstep their authority.

Random Rolled Question

Who taught you how to cook?

I'd like to say that I am natural born cook. But that would be a big fat fib. I learned to cook from my mom, from watching cooking shows on the television, and from reading lots and lots of cookbooks. But I am not a good cook. Someday, maybe I'll have someone that will cook with me and so we'll see. I also had Foods for two years in high school.

 

Random Rolled Question

What three things do you do to reward yourself?

When I've been really, really good, I reward myself by buying something from Amazon.com. Sometimes, I reward myself by buying a new animal, which I won't be doing much of this year. I love to reward myself by eating and that means carbs.

What's the number one change you need to make in your life in the next twelve months?

To put it mildly, I need to become stronger. Not physical strength but in my ability to use my voice, to tell people no, and to correct people when necessary. Don't assume that I'm a push over based on this one post.
