Ohh how right you are Mercury!

It is totally amazing how fragie self esteem is.

It is also totally amazing how incredibly quick that self-esteem can be re built when one listens to caring, compassionate people.

I had such an encounter just yesterday.

Hey, guys! Cheer up!

From what I've seen of both of you, neither one of you has any need to question your self-worth... You both seem like fantastic men, funny and sexy and warm-hearted, just what any woman in her right mind would love to get to know!

What happened to you two to make you feel so down? Tell us, and I bet that I and some of the other women here can probably find some way of cheering you up!

((((((((big hugs to you both!))))))))

Life is about how you deal with shit thrown at you.

Grab a snorkel, say stuff the world and go on.

If the opinion of one or two is so important, look at another

focus of importance.

Talk to us!!!!!

Thank you SugarFreeCandy and Oldfart!!

I guess I could have phrased the point I was trying to make better, because I had a GREAT experience on Friday that completely lifted my spirits, and did an excellent job of re-energizing my self esteem.

It is awfully good to know that there are people that are concerned about the well being of others here.

Thank you for the kind words.

Oldfart---You're right!Life is how you deal with things.When I was
younger;I thought;that all individual things were;very;important.
As I grow older;I realise;that my father was right.All that you can
do is; to do; your best.Noone can ask for more than that.The way
the masses think of the way you handle things.Individual approval
is; basically;unimportant! Irish
P.S.I'm on my soapbox again.I just hate to see people; make the
same mistakes; that I have made!

I have no idea about Mecury, but for me, I hate this time of year. You see people out shopping with family and such. Being a single guy with no family, well it just makes for a hard time.

Prophet...don't be sad...You have a family....RIGHT HERE!!!!
That goes for others as well.....

.....if you think you have it bad...think about other people who have it worse than you....a homeless person, a sick child, someone who lost a loved one in the past few months...(WTC attacks)...and the list goes on and on.....


When I get depressed and down...I think of others who don't have it so good or I go visit a homeless shelter or help out at a soup kitchen.........and that's when I realize I am truly blessed....

Been there, Prophet. Just keep your chin up. As Diva said, don't forget your surrogates here at pixies.

Thanx. Nothing makes me smile more than cuddling up in a nice sexy lap.

Prophet Reality---I know where you're coming from!I find that each year;I have less holiday spirit.The whole Christmas season
has gotten so; commercialised;that it takes away from; the way;
that the memories of the season have.My two daughters don't
live home anymore and the ;youngest;daughter;has;gotten
divorced.It gets harder and harder to get together.Christmas;is
for;my four grandchildren anyway.Even toys cost a;rediculous;
price now.Kids ask for things that put you in debt for a year now.
I can remember;when;asking my folks;for a plastic toy rifle;might
be too much money.After all;my father only worked about 70hrs.
a week! Irish
P.S.The toy cost $7.95.
