dazed-and-confused

i agree with you about the drugs. if you have lost a son (not that i believe that for 1 minute), then let him be grown up, paying his own rent, college tuition, everything. when he TRUELY grows up, he'll see what a fool he was.

lol...i love your little biography. welcome.

lol...a mormon living in utah.....who'd a thunk it? welcome

i just watched this documentary on netflix. i would urge everyone to watch it as well.

ROFL.....i am SO busted. so sorry, johnny.

Thanks, Nana......i like to stick it to "the man" (expression from the sixties), too...lol.

"Miester Brau".....der wolfeld

lol...good question. i have no idea what washing soda is. guess it's worth a google.

welcome. imo, there are many herer who will offer feedback without trying to push you, but you might find a few of those here as well. i think both are good, friendly people.

VERY good for you. i know that there are a lot of feelings associated with what you are dealing with, fear and shame are probably the strongest. have you noticed by now, however, that when you step into your feelings and talk about it with someone you trust, that you feel BETTER? keep it up, and again.....good for you.

that is what this article has to say as well.....thanks.

saw this and thought it was interesting..... do-it-yourself-laundry-detergent: Personal Finance News from Yahoo! Finance

welcome...i think you'll like it here.

welcome, philip. i'm sure you'll make friends here.

i enjoyed your poem very much. emotional swings are common in LIFE, married or not. you are a lovely woman, don't worry too much about it (yeah, right, easy for me to say, lol).

thanks gwen. i was told that direct tv has added more satellites so their signals are better. as for cable companies also using dishes, that is true, however, i believe that since the dishes are bigger, they are more sensitive to weaker signals and can still pick up in bad weather, were as a smaller dish may not. i REALLY want to try this......the wife is addamantly opposed,lol. need some good arguments to win her over, lol.

thanks SO much for all your feedback.....i mwant direct tv(dish) because it will give me BYU and conference availability. we do have some good storms here in florida but i think it will be worth it. thanks again.

i live in florida and currently have cable, but i am VERY interested in direct tv, specifically. i would like to know from other subscribers what their experiences are. do you problems losing the signal during storms? reliability issues......ANYTHING?

by the way...if what i told you about my own history excites you, even in the slightest, then you're not nearly far enough along in your own recovery.

my friend, i have to ask you....why do you NOT want to talk further to your bishop? you must understand, an addiction does not simply go away. as sincere as we are about feeling repentance, we are just as sincere at looking at some way to continue the addiction, usually through some rationalization or other. i would urge you to continue your talks about it with your bishop AND seek out a 12 step group dealing with sexual addiction. just so you know, and i have posted a bit of my own history here before, i was sexually abused VERY young and then throughout my teens. i was introduced to hardcore pornographic photos when i was 7. all of my abusers were adult females. that along with the severe mental and emotional abuse from my own family, mother and older sister (father died when i was 5), really messed me up in so many ways. i am now 58, have been through LOTS of therapy, counseling, prayer, religious study and application of meditative techniques. i do happen to know a bit about what you are dealing with. and if you think that you're not that bad because your own history was NOTHING like mine, you're fooling yourself. you have an addiction to sex, plain and simple. you need help in dealing with it. do not be ashamed of what you need to do. embrace it and deal with it. it is my prayer that you are able to, in Jesus name i pray, amen.

heartfelt congrats, GR.

welcome goose, even though you aren't only a skimmer, but an airdale as well.

welcome to both of you

welcome, diane
