Newman, hope you'll be back. I wonder if you'd enjoy blogging??

Goodbye, Newman.

MB, you have a beautiful spirit and a contagious zest for life despite all that your mother did to crush both of them out of you growing up. You have done good, you really have.

Mocha, I know that car thing you quoted up above is sure enough true. We used to have an older Mercedes, which I think must have had 177,000 instead of the 77,000 miles we thought it had when we bought it. We finally learned not to talk about money in the car. If the car found out we had an extra $500, it would suddenly need $1000 in repairs.

Newman, I am not going to say goodbye, but good luck. I truly hope you find a place in cyberspace where you feel that you do fit in, are validated, and understood to your heart's content.

I like Seamonkey's suggestion about blogging for you. It's where you share your ideas and oppinions, and they are what they are, and the reader can take them or leave them, as opposed to an unsatisfactory conversation which may not go in the direction you were aiming, or get the desired results, as evidenced here by your comments.

I'm surprised though that you never made yourself a folder here. It's a great place to express opinions and emotions and likeminded folks usually will find their way to your cyber-door. And those who disagree will usually wander off to other folders where they feel more comfy and welcome.

I'm no fan of being modded, trust me, but the modding here is a key factor in what keeps this place civilised, IMHO, and those who want to run amok, sh*t-disturbing, wouldn't last long, or fit in here. There are many unmodded 'topic specific' chatrooms on the Net where one can toss their opinions into the ring and join in the fray, and usually most folks are on the same page. Maybe that will be more to your taste.

I, for one, hope you do find your niche in cyberspace, here or elsewhere.

Jooj, thank you so very much for your kind words. I am tempted to print them up and tape them to my monitor, for when those dark nights of the soul creep up on me, when I am emotionally beating myself up, feeling stupid, or inconsequential. Once again, thank you!!!

I second what Juju said, Mameb! My earlier post took 10,000 words to say what JJ said in one short paragraph. You have not only made lemonade when life handed you lemons, you made wonderful pastries and set the table with crystal and linen.

Newman, it's your choice whether or not to stay. I think you've created quite a few thought provoking threads. We never know just what you'll write! You do keep people guessing and you aren't afraid to write an opinion. That's something some people find difficult to express.
We all find the place we feel comfortable. Our niche.
If you do decide to stick with us, go and create a folder, as MB suggested. That way we can talk directly to you.

You'll be missed Newman. You've spawned a lot of interesting conversations and I think we've all learned a bit in the process.

I tend to agree with Chilliwilli a bit. I think you need to "fake it until you make it". Pretend you're happy, pretend you're enjoying life and get out there. You might be surprised to find some real happiness creeping in. I think we can get in the habit of being unhappy and we just remain that way out of habit. Nothing is going to change until you are ready to *make* it change.

Good luck and hope to see you back, perhaps in the movie threads.

I agree with Chilliwilli, suck it up.

I get modded too, have even been suspended, but I don't let it run me off. We are all different, that's what makes this thread so good. Yeah, I feel outnumbered too, but not so much that i feel the need to run away. I found the key to it all is keeping an open mind and using common sense, sometimes Mocha has had to slap the common sense into me, but hey it get's there.

Newman - I wonder if you have a clincal depression. One of the non-life threatening, moderate depressions that leads to a form of melancholy rather than full out self-loathing. Perhaps a psychologist could help?

I'm not saying this to be mean, I have dealt with depression issues for many years (since my mother killed herself) and I find that sometimes you can't really see yourself well enough to help yourself.

I wish you well.

I won't say I have been modded, but I will admit that I have been completely DELETED before! :-)

And I'm sure I deserved it, too. (sigh)

Mamapors, other mods. I even modded the infamous Neil once. Funny story. I was so sure I was history.

Heck, I was modded AND deleted shortly after I joined! And I don't mind saying that it scared the crapola out me!

My question is, has Jimmer ever been modded???
