I'm 44 too. Spiritually, I'm still at an infantile stage.
I don't have a great appreciation/understanding of the abstract.
I still enjoy your intelligent, skillful almost artistic style of writing .
'the condensate of about 30 years of what I've gleaned from the chaff' is an example.
Yep I agree. I just dont like the fat ones that are proud to be fat, or the ones that take offense to it but dont do anything to change it. Even heroin addicts can quit, they take a synthetic form of it and lower the dose overtime, same thing for food, right?
I'm a bigtime fan so it just adds interest to the games. We have a casino here that I don't go to often but have on occasion with a friend who's a VIP and we get comped for dinner. I won't blow more than a hundred or two at most.
I know it doesn't mean anything. I only use it to pass on to others and for betting. Which makes it more fun but you probably wouldn't understand. I can't bomb which until recently I hadn't even thought of. Feel free to use it frivolously and spread some "love".
Yes, I am an openly practicing Wiccan. No, I do not worship the Devil. Wicca is an Earth-centered religion that was misrepresented throughout history as Satanism. We believe in a balance of all things, a reverence for all life, and we venerate both female and male Deities.
