Greetings! Dexx, I'm glad you made the change to WITH DEXX rather than WITHOUT DEXX!!!! SSSSHHHEEEEESSSSHHHH!!!!! You scared me there for a second! I agree with you that some strange characters have invaded some of the threads that we use to spend more time on!---They haven't scared us off! We just needed a change of scenery! But I imagine to each their own! The thought crossed my mind as to why life ( even the simple appearing situations) always seem to end up so complicated and frustrating????)???????+?????+??????+???????? Then it dawned on me!----If life was so simple and easy to disect and figure out-then we would only be required to live to a ripe old age of about a few hours have the whole deal/ life thing figured out and then we could go on to the next step or level! Something like getting on an elevator that goes up 500 stories! So! We push the elevator button to stop on the second floor! Elevators comes to a stop--door opens---we stick our head out the door---take aquick look around---don't see anything or anyone--must mean nothing is there---repeat this process for a few more floors---then come to the conclussion that there is nothing or no one in this building---then we proceed to push the 500 floor button---assuming the remaining 496 floors are empty!---Life begins! We reach the 500 th. floor!-- ----obviously nothing in this life building----seems empty! WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!----We have to get off on every floor, check every nook and cranny--until we find what we are looking for! But! The process of looking for something allows various life's experiences to open new avenues and learnings to you! How about a couple of examples? OKAY!!! How do we bettor know when we are around people we enjoy being with? Well my guess is that not until we have been presented with enough negative, bashing types--will we then only bettor understand what type of people and the type of dialogue we want to be apart of!--And be bettor able to recognize them! The same with the people I would consider unpleasant or those that may have a hidden agenda to their negative communication style! If those that feel they are a positive influence and try to represent the brighter side of things or point of view--WELL????---i think we do ourselves part of a diservice by not remaining obn those threads--if not simply for the fact that it provides the naysayers an opportunity to see an alternative headset--and then who knows maybe? just maybe? we can help get them pointed in the right direction! Firm but Fair! Always a first step to consider!---Plus! Idon't always do this or rember this suggestion when I am fired up--but!---- ----I have no way of knowing what challenges, problems or adversity some negative sounding individulas have had to overcome or cope with in their life!-----I'm not condoning it as an excuse for them--but considering that I have had my Angel Wings clipped very early on in my life---I tend to lean towards the benefit of the doubt! I know it can sound wishy washy--but second, third, fourth, and fifth chances are not out of my realm of consideration! I can think back and can recall getting those many chances ( if not more) under certain circumstances! SO! I'm glad we have you WITH us Dexx! I try to keep in mind that as we grow and learn in this lifetime, just like a young growing tree, sometimes a few or many leaves and branches fall of a tree before it grows taller and stronger and can stand tall against natures fearcest elements! ( SP?).... In the mean time, let's give ourselves some time to grow and nuture and develope! And let's not beat ourselves up too many times while trying to carry on our journey of life! So many things to think about! Let's not fightand struggle with our thoughts , the right ones for us will come naturally!--If we let them! Wayne J.
