Do you ever listen to the Bible Answer Man? Every time I read your posts I tend to have his voice in my head. I love that show! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

FF,

No, I have never even heard of that show. It does sound interesting, but I don't listen to the radio much.

Hi! JustJ how are you doing these days? Well I hope.

That's 'cause all they had when you were growing up was books and newspapers! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Now I'm in trouble!

Mr. Pot, meet Mr. Kettle.

DOH!


I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?

O'hana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

2L,

Marconi who???? I resemble that remark. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> However, I did listen to "The Shadow" and "Innersanctum" I can still hear that door creaking. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> And tell me "What evil lurks in the hearts of man?" "The Shadow KNOWS." Oh, and the original Lone Ranger.

And yes, you are right books and newspapers, Oh and journals with articles about some funny planet or another. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> That's the ticket my man.

When you get old enough to shave you will understand. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />.

JL...

Since this has turned into a pick on/ask JL thread...I wanted to inquire about your story...Kiwi Jen has pointed out that you are neither a WS or a BS...and I'm just very curious...

Your advice is always so well thought out and on the mark...you are very wise, or perhaps you are just an <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />*old codger* <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> as Kiwi says... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />LOL <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> At any rate, I, and I'm sure others would love to know about you...Is there a link with your "story" that you could provide or could you author a post letting us know why you choose to help here? And you do help here, so very much...

JL, you were one of the first people to post to me while I was still very foggy. Thank you for your input and insight. You told Kiwi the other day on Newstart's thread that if she went back and re read your old posts to her that she first had found off-putting that she wouldn't any longer...I went back and read your stuff to me to test that theory...when I read them NOW, all I could think was how wonderful and caring that they seemed...but when I thought back to the state that I first arrived here in I know that I didn't see them that way at all, though that's hard to even imagine now...Ah, perspective...such an interesting thing...


Many Blessings,


Mrs. Wondering

Mrs Dubya, JL is one of the few brave enough to post to foggy WWs. Kudos to you, JL.

Mrs.W,

I think there is a post somewhere in the dim dark past on this site. I think it was Susan and New_Beginnngs that prompted me to "fess up". <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> It is correct I am neither a WS or a BS. I found this site years ago when I was having trouble dealing with things in my marriage.

I learned from reading here, that I had the WRONG perspective about my W and my marriage and I used what I have learned here in my marriage. It helped enormously.

I am not sure why I still post here after all of these years. Partly it is that I am "just learning" from everyone here. Partly it is the sense of hope and optimism that is exuded here. Partly it is because I am constantly amazed how strong the people here are and how deeply they love. Oddly, it is often the WS that demonstrates these traits. I guess that is why I do post to WS's frequently.

But, I will tell you that I have learned how very precious a marriage and a spouse really are from being here and I am reminded of this daily. The great irony is that the people that come here to somehow rebuild there marriage, really don't appreciate how strong and devoted they are and I am talking about both WS and BS. Or just people that have problems in their marriage. Many post here that don't have the problem of infidelity, but they actually may have worse.

I don't know if any of you have ever gone back into the archives, but the person that actually caused me to register and post after reading here for over 6 months was a lady named Facing_Choices. She left the site but about a year or so came back to give an update. I am not sure if it was in Recovery but I think so. If you want to be amazed read her posts and then her last one after years of addressing a marriage where she had a child from her affair, eventually told her H, all the while maintaining her affair.

It is really pretty inspirational.

OK, now it is time to get back to "old jokes". Where is 2L when I need him? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Thank you all for your posts. And Mrs.W I am glad you went back and read your old posts. It IS amazing what perspective can do isn't it? I think Mr.W realizes his perspectives have changed as well.

God Bless,

JL

A while ago someone said they could imagine 2long stroking his chin.

LMAO. I don't think 2long has SEEN his chin for years. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I haven't revisited my old posts for ages.

It's been 2 years excatly since I first tentatively put a foot in the MB water. Maybe it's time to go back and have a look.

Erk, maybe not.

KiwiJ:

I haven't seen EITHER ONE of my chins in 15 years (the last time I shaved it off, and only the 2nd time since I learned how - pi$$ed my W off a lot more than it should have the 2nd time, and now I know why).
