Dreamed of being a paramedic, after watching the old Squad 51 TV series... Went to school and did that for 13+ years, then got hurt/burnt out. Wandered from job to job and landed a great management position I have now in the Hotel industry. So there's no telling were we will end up. Very happy doing this, but always willing to try another new job if I need to.
As for personal life, wanted to be married happily ever after.... 2 divorces later...fuck it!!! got my kids, and very happy being were I'm at. |

Well, it's good to know that I'm not alone in knowing that my reality isn't what I thought it would be. Whether it's good or bad has yet to be determined, but I can't tell you how good it feels to get over the helpless feeling of not having full control. I'll control what I can, and just roll with the punches. I'm even learning to punch back sometimes.

We're going through some financial issues etc due to massive reduction in income etc; but doing what we can - and won't be bullied by creditors etc. had a conversation tonight that went something like "I've paid you what i can each week for 8 weeks; if that's not good enough, let me know. I'll keep the money. I could use it" F em. ![]() ![]()

I haven't given up on my dreams. But I better hurry up, lucidity is growing in shorter supply every single day.

You know, I'm getting kinda sick of this whiny-ass crap.
If your "reality" isn't what you wish it to be, how about making a change in your life? Huh? Ever think about that? Mr. Bob Dole just started a thread about how he lost a 31 year old friend in an accident. That could be any one of us at any time. My most sincere and heartfelt advice is to stop whining about what "might have been" and, if you aren't happy, make a bold change and start upon a new path. Crap on a Triscuit, what's the worst that could happen? You live outside your safety zone for awhile? God almighty. FAX THE CRANKY |

The point of the thread wasn't to whine. It was simply to compare your reality with what you thought it would be. Or maybe I'm whining and should just shut up....lol. |

Butt if i poop on a triscuit i don't think i could find the triscuit, you know what i mean? Only if you mean a triscuit like a cracker triscuit. If you mean a triscuit like something else then i don't know what that is.
