Remember the misfit elf in Rudolph? Well, I feel like him. I can't adjust to this planet. I don't understand man's inhumanity to man. Can I quit now? Please and thank you.

WW,

You can quit the planet as long as you stay here with us, please?

ww, i'll never understand why it is that some ppl have to suffer more than others t and i have talked about that many times and since seeing me, he's watched many bazaar and "fantastic" things happen to me that just don't happen lots. he's at a loss for words at those times also.

i don't know why you've had to endure so much cruelty, honey. but i can say, i'm so very sorry you've had to. i understand that you want to quit. is there a way you can go to bed for a day? can you semi quit for just a little while to regain some resourses?

i care so much about you, and you do such good for so many people, i hope you don't decide to quit. you're a bright light in my world. i'm sorry you can't see your light from the inside, but honey, it shines so bright.

love,

kd

Of course you may! But you have to come back ((((ww))))) In fact, you should "quit" each night at the time you cannot make phone calls or have them or mail come in to you. Put it aside since right then you can't do anything about it, and try to enjoy your family time.

You've had a lot dumped on you, and the fact that you're stressed might be adding to how bad things feel, too. (this happens with me) You have to find the lines that you know the world can't intrude, can't attack you...can't hurt you.

Here is an idea:
How about if all the ones that feel the same way go ahead and quit and join this post?

I say I do!
Anybody else?

(((((((((((((((((((((WW)))))))))))))))))))))))So many things have happened to you, it's almost unreal. Maybe it might help to get away for a bit. Visit friends or relatives.

You might be a misfit, but so are a lot of us. You're not alone.

There is so much cruelty in this world that sometimes I lose perspective. Then I see/hear an act of kindness and I'd feel better.

Is there anything I can do? Please take care of yourself. Love ya

{{{{{{{{{{{{{WW}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Join the club, Hun. Ooops! That would mean that you wouldn't be a misfit anymore, wouldn't it? You're not alone, Sweety. There's too many of us that feel the same way.

Don't know if you ever saw it, but there was a T shirt... um... back in the 80's? It was a school of fish on the front of it with one lonely fish swimming in the opposite direction. I forget the caption, (it was positive, though!) but I so related to that shirt! Still do.

Ya know? I'll bet if you expanded that graphic, there would be more than one fish swimming against the flow.

Sometimes we have to isolate to keep our sanity. We need to stop and gather our resources, 'cause it ain't easy! In short, you can quit the world between the hours of 5 pm and 6 am. Hang out with us or those in your life that are also swimming against the flow, sleep, have times with your family where nothing negative can be spoken about, done or thought, hug each other ALOT, etc. You get the picture. It sure works for me when I can't make it through the crowd of people going the opposite way than I'm going!

Positive imagining with no outside interruptions also works wonders! Other than that, I'm with Gloria. Lets find time when we quit the world to keep each other company here, ok?

Hang tough, Lady. Don't forget your wisdom! You do have it, you know!

You guys are all so wonderful. I do feel loved. Really and truly. I was not literal about quitting. It's a feeling of throwing up your hands and saying no more! Kimmy, I swear as though there were one of those little gremlin trouble maker things following me around making havoc. Anyway we can all join the you can't fire me club.

I can't really quit. I have been emailing national radio and t.v. shows to get publicity. Spoke with the governor's wife tonight, she was kind and is aware of the situation. Emailed oprah, also emailed her about my little friend with the lymphoma. She is very ill again and I would love to have her be able to spend time with a professional photographer. I have been concentrating on doing good deeds and feeling loving and loved. I also am concentrating on COOKIES.

[Malady156]

Cookies?? LOL - as in baking or as in eating? or both?

Yum ...
