I wish I had ee cumming's text "I Sing of Olaf, Brave and Big" to hand...:

"...Who said, upon what once were feet,
'There is some shit I will not eat'."

Some poets understand this endless dichotomy of fortune and heart.

"My love, she speaks softly
She knoews there's no success like failure,
And that failure's no success at all."

Hi Duckyboots
11 years ago I left the my job working as a hospital administrative dietitian because I could not fit into the mold of job descriptions, policy and proceedures.
I decided I was going to reinvent myself. I spent a few years drumming up all kinds of business plans that never got off the ground and I would take on different kinds of work to explore other avenues.
I went through career counselling assessments which summarized things I already knew about myself and gave me no specific answers or clear direction to follow. I've been through 15 years of psychoanalysis sometimes going 2 times per week. My psychiatrist would often fall asleep in the middle of my session. He basically offered me a safe place where I could freely talk through my issues with myself.
I found trying to figure out what I wanted to do was like trying to find an 'earing in the haystack'.
What did help was understanding what I did not like to do. I began to carve away all the things I did not enjoy doing and as I did that, I started to understanding better what kind of things did interest me. I am still working on this.
The tools that I have found helpful are:
The Artist Way, by Julia Cameron
Journalling my feelings every day
Letting go of thinking I have to do something spectacular to show my worth. This last one was probably my biggest discovery. When I finally realized I need not do anything impressive to prove my worth, I started to really see what kinds of work I find fulfilling.
Finding work that makes me happy has been a major theme in my life. If you ever want to chat about this over a cup of Starbucks, I would be more than happy to.
Luv Bonnie

Praise, let me give you my prescription. A warm fire, a glass of wine (or whatever warms your insides), a warm friend, and warm music. Cures most my ills. Certainly after a hard day of life.

Love, annap

Thanks, annap and Micca,

I will administer same to Hardiman when next he ingests.

Actually a lovely image is coming RIGHT NOW of how this prescription occurs every week at our lovely church, when we co-lead the Sat. night service, and are together in the Arms of another (the Physician Himself) for just that prescription. Sometimes that service becomes work, but you have given me words not only to remind us, but to translate this image for others when they need to hear it.

I owe youse one, which I'll *repay* some Saturday night with "I'll Remember You Love in My Prayers."

A buddy o' mine had a hemmorhoid break free and lodge in his heart. His doc prescribed vodka and Milk Of Magnesia----a grand drink called a Phillips Screwdriver. Took care of several of his problems at one time.

Also, an aspirin held firmly betwwen the knees is a great birth control pill.

An old folk remedy said, "to cure depression, put a carrot in your shoe."

Another old folk remedy said, "to cure a sever limp, remove the carrot from your shoe."

I say, "If you are limp, take Viagra. You'll be flacid in no time. But ya gotta wait for the BEEP."

Hey Art,
Your buddy wouldn't be the one who had a thread dedicated to his hemmorhoids would he?

It's amazing how many times Viagra comes up in a thread here. :P
Ok, here it is again...
The final verse to The final verse to Maids When You're Young
I say give 'em Viagra
Fi Diddle di agra
Give 'am viagra
fi Diddle ie ay
I say give 'em Viagra
And he'll be all UP AND ATTUM'
And all the young maids
Will want to bed that old man.

And they'll get their fallorum
Fi diddle di or um
They'll get their fallorum
Fi diddle di ay
They'll get they're fallorum
And the girls won't ignore 'em
And all the young maids
Will bed that old man.

Uh oh, I just remembered another folk remedy, which may be why there are so many folk,and some of them acidic--

Birth control? A slice of lemon, inserted as a barrier. No guarantees but goes well with fish. (IYKWIM.)

Why is taking Viagra like a trip to Disney World?

It's a two hour wait for a two minute ride.
