Hi ladies
We are all the same people whether you like it or not. None of us are spared in life. I had the same master plan and it went right down the crapper. I thought at age 58 I'd be retired, have 3 million in the bank and sail off into the sunset. Silly me.
It's nice to read messages and posts from people bitching about life. That's fine with me. I have no problem with that. You just have to realize one thing that Denis Leary said which puts everything in perspective. See if you agree with his words of wisdom:
" I thought I was going to be the starting center fielder for the Boston Red Sox. Happiness comes in small doses in life. It's a chocolate chip cookie,a five second orgasm and a cigarette. You eat the cookie,have the orgasm and smoke the cigarette. You go to sleep and wake up and go to work the next day. Life sucks. Get a freakin' helmet!"
I have mine on all the time ladies. Life is no bowl of cherries you know. None of us will get out alive. If you choose to be miserable, knock yourself out. If you don't have fun in life ,I'll do it for you. It's your call. Hugs.
Love
Auntie Jeannie
Our master plan in life.

It's nice to have company.
Hi Girls
I knew it would weed out people who are delusional and in denial that there lives are really miserable but we don't know it. It's a great way to live isn't ladies? I'm waiting for a response from the Octomom and Governor Blagojvich. They are professional grade.
Carol Ann and myself will never get down. We grew up with misery. We are printers. As a matter of fact Carol Ann I was cutting in the shop this morning and cut one lift and got a bleed. There isn't a bleed on this job! Back to the press Hon!
Another great tip ladies. Always have extremly low expectations in life and you'll never be disappointed. I have to get going. I'm working on my documentary "Jewish Sports Heros." So far I have Izthak Perlman. Is playing a violin considered a sport in Isreal? I'm not sure. You will know CJ. You know everything smarty panties. Thanks so much for your weisenheimer crack.Hugs.

PS. Carol Ann. I'm hoping for a gripper bar break this afternoon or maybe a blanket smash though I'd settle for a paper wrap in the ink train. That's always a real treat.

I actually have a considered and well thought out master plan, Jeannie, and that is to muddle through to the end. In good times I kick back and muddle in a confident and leisurely way, and in bad times I muddle like the hammers of hell. I'm looking over my shoulder a lot these days, but I am confident that this is a good plan. At the end of all this muddling I am absolutely certain there will be an end.
Anyway, Jeannie you're my role model. It's obvious you haven't the faintest idea what you"re doing, but you write about it in such a charming and witty way that those of us who don't know better rather wish that we were suffering through it with you. Plus, B, You can cook, and #3, You have been able to keep a pet alive for more than a month!

I am a vessel of the Goddess. Let me express my calling to a feminine life through nurturing love and relatedness.

Hi girls,
I have absolutely no master plan. I mean, I make doctor appointments and things, but that does not mean I will end up at the doctor on that day. Really, I kinda leave it open and just decide as I go. I don't waste a lot of time trying to guess tuture or change the past. I have become focused on living as opposed to worrying about living.
Don't get me wrong, I am not so hardcore about it thqt I don't worry about paying next months bills. I am practical in that I do things when I have to, only when I really have to, unless I just happen to feel like it. Many times I just do not have the energy for previous commitments I have made. I can't sit through a two hour movie. Ot I don't feel like driving for an hour. Or I don't have the energy to go to to doctor. Really I don't even have enough to get off the couch, but for sure not the doctor.
I can not plan for and there is nothing I can do about it, So my choice is to either be upset about it all the the time, or not be upset about disappointments. Mine or others. Life is uncertain, there are going to be disappointments. But why not try to enjoy the moment?
Since again our only choice is to enjoy the moment or not enjoy the moment. The future is uncertain and the past is unchangeable. So there is only the moment. Which is ours to enjoy or not enjoy.
Love always,
Elizabeth

I love you April! Marry me!
Hi Hon
"It's obvious you haven't the faintest idea what you"re doing" Ok April. You guessed it. It's all this forums fault. I stumbled on this forum by accident a few years ago when I was thrown off another forum for getting a bit rowdy. I was this unhappy, nasty little person who hated herself.
Then I found this forum with all you miserable people like Sharon,Silver Lady,Donna,Virginia ,CJ and all you other nasty humans. You made me feel like a real person that had value in life. You created a person who is finally happy with themselves you bitches!
I was so happy feeling miserable for 55 years and you perverts made me feel happy with myself.
You turkeys have made my life wonderful and I'll never forgive you! This forum finally gave me a life. You have no idea what all of you have done for me. I could never repay you all. I like to make jokes and be goofy but without you ladies I wouldn't be here today. I love you all. Even Virginia.
Love
Jeannie
PS. It's so strange. The best things in life cost nothing and are priceless.

Hi all,
Well, Jeannie, you can call me nasty or a bitch or a turkey or a pervert all you want, I'll admit to having done nothing to you other than hand you a rag with which you could polish the ornate (and, uh, antique) silver lamp that you already are. And may your light shine, sis.
You know, the thing about a master plan is that is that it inevitably rests on two usually mistaken assumptions; first, that we're in control of the situation (or of our lives or whatever) and, second, that plans are more often successful than not. Well, this here fool is proof there ain't no such thing as "fool-proof."
A while back, I came across a little book-length essay by Guy Bourgeault called L'Éloge de l'incertitude (In Praise of Uncertainty). In this essay, the author describes--and prescribes--what he believes is the remedy to our propensity for so often winding up in dead ends in our lives and that remedy is simply to embrace the uncertainty that is the very core of our existence. To cling to grand notions (and, yes, to master plans) is to succumb to the (albeit very human) emotional need for security and certainty in our lives. But, as the universe shows us again and again, there is no such security or certainty to be had. Even what we call the "laws" of physics, for instance, are but one way to interpret the world around us. And however much we may believe we can, we cannot formulate interpretations that go beyond our own experience. Having said this, the religious history of the human species is proof that this isn't for lack of trying.
So here's my own master plan (and it may read a little like your own call, Jeannie, to keep our expectations low): I embrace the fundamental uncertainty that unfolds in my own life; I don't expect from the universe or from the world or from other people more than what they have given or give or will give me; I elaborate my every "intermediate" and "low-level" plan with the understanding that things may turn out not to be so; and I live by the motto, carpe hic et nunc... that is, "seize the here and now." Even this last I do with an open palm and not with a closed fist because it's been my experience that a closed fist inevitably crushes "the here and now," turning into "the then and there." Rather, I "seize" the "here and now" by allowing it to alight on my upturned palm, rather like a butterfly.
It's during those moments in my life when I forget all this, that I wind up hitting brick walls head on. Call me a Taoist if you will, but going with the flow of things just seems easier to me. To do so is to walk along what is both a road less travelled as well as a path of least resistance.
Well, enough philosophical counselling for one day. I have nothing to wear; I need to go do a batch of laundry.
Love,
CJ

Thanks so much for the imagery CJ!
Hi Hon
Too much laundry information. I picture you writing another great post naked at your computer. It's quite disturbing and just not right. I have to go walk it off and have another brewski to clear my head. I like you CJ but not that much! Hugs Hon.
Love
Auntie Jeannie
PS I might have to send you bill for counseling but we'll see. PTSS is no laughing matter!
