I vaguely remember you as "white lotus flower" on Tsarion's forum, anyhow, I remember you also saying you were friends with him. Did you never experience his extreme distate for altruism? I think what that means to me is put your own life vest on first.

Were you giving to get something? and you didn't get it? I don't understand why you feel so let down, no one asked you to post so much or take time away from what you needed to do to create a solid base.
I sincerely hope you can use your time away from here to do just that . Sorting out your house /business problems may be easier than you thought when you give it your full attention, and you may find the help you need right where you are.
The whole idea of the ground crew does make me laugh, I basically have one friend from years of internet interactions, but that is no guarantee we would get along in person or that they would help me in reality.

Sometimes the bitterest disappointments put our feet on the ground, which is what we need if our heads are in the stars.

Very very best of luck to you in the changes ahead, you may find help is closer than you think.

My job? recyclopath. if it aint broke, I don't want it...

As the good book says, "Cast your bread upon the waters and after many days it shall return to you."

"...if it ain't broke, I don't want it..." could apply to my avocation as a transpersonal clearing psychologist -- "if you ain't broke, I don't want you!"

if i may present our just finished first real video - hope you enjoy

is supposed to be a contrast to the meaning fo the words

a catalyst sorta - so whats it about? love and forgiveness or materialism?

building contractor. truth seeker. nature lover.

Fredkc · 02-09-2010, 10:06 PM

A machinist, capable of everything from bulk production, to one-off pieces, and tooling. Hand machine work, programmable machine work. Even sent all over the world to teach same.

Then the US decided manufacturing was icky, and decided we'd rather be poor than working. So....

CAD Drafting & Design. I've worked in the design/R&D depts. of places that built particle accelerators, SCUBA gear, even ultra-pure chemical generators for Micro-Chip manufacturing.

Then the US decided we don't want that kind of thing around here and sent that offshore too. So....

Networking, Computer Management, Database admin, etc. Even went back to school for it. Pretty good at small business network management, and Web/Database design, if'n I do say so myself.

Then, age discrimination decided that anyone over 45 can't possibly know anything useful about computers, even though I've been involved since 1978. So...

What I do for a living is send out Resumes, so people can tell me I am "overqualified".
Oh! and haunt forums...

Retired teacher. Loved my job but retired as soon as I was eligible so I could pursue personal interests. Among other things, my husband and I are volunteers for organizations (emergency food deliveries etc and interacting with people who have mental conditions.)

Nerf herder.

A Star Wars reference — a "nerf herder" is a fictional occupation referred to by Princess Leia in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, when she insults Han Solo for arrogantly asserting that she has romantic feelings for him: "Why you stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder!"

I'm unemployed.

My last job was web programmer in Montreal for a company that was making huge corporate and government websites. Very challenging work. I did that for 3 years.

Before that I've been janitor in banks and corporate offices for 15 years. Very solitary work.

During the janitor years I wrote music to calm my creativity urges. Very satisfying hobby. http://www.youtube.com/metaw3#p/c/3040F0AD31248222
