Michael, I don't think you have anything to apologize for, this forum is for everyone. I enjoy many of your posts, when you show your humor, and when you ask thought provoking questions.

G'day Michael,

Never, never ever, feel you have to appologise for who you are or what you are, nor explain who you are!!!!

A good persentage of people will not like or accept any one person so that mob can fuck off for starters.... It doesn't matter if it is the Ubar of Ubars of Gor, The Grand Master of BDSM Doms resplendent holding his miniscule dick with a pair of tweezers; the Dominatrix or Dominatrixes with a paddle up her kyber pass and her tits hanging to her knees, the slave of slaves, Gawd all fucking mighty, or just the janitor... If they have'nt had the nouse to learn about you, they do not deserve an explanation much less an appology. Yor are a unique human being Michael and is enough.

It took courage to post as you did. You have brass balls man, my hat is off to you for that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence!
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and Determination alone are omnipotent!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's all in the game and how you play it!

thank You, Master IronBear...and everyone who has been supportive of me, whther they liked most, if any, of my posts or not. it was nice to know that, not everyone wanted me to drop off the face of the Earth for voicing my opinions, however misguided they may have been or may be in the future.

i shall make the most of it, but, for a time, tone it down just a bit. it's not gonna be easy as my brattiness, not to mention my depression, tend to take over at times.

i only hope that everyone will forgive me for the opinions i have and may post.

here's to what freedoms are left in the world and to friends old and new

Nope. Sorry Michael. YOu will not get off the hook that easy. I may not agree with your opinions...ok, ok...I admit...I almost rarely do...

, but one fact remains

they are YOUR OPINIONS......you don't need to be forgiven for having a brain that works...you should be proud of it.......

so, with that said.....

Here's a hug HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGS, and a kiss on the cheek, and a big hooray for those who voice their opinions...despite what others think or say

As others stated already...never apologize for who you are, and never apologize for the way you think. Because, despite all the differences that everyone has...we all really like each other just the way we are

Hunny, there is a little thing called freedom of speech, and I don't think you should have to appologize for the way you feel about anything.... I think that if people don't want to listen to you, they don't have to... but you shouldn't say you are sorry... I think that you should only say that you are sorry for things that you can change... You can't change how you feel, so don't appologize for it... you say you are sorry for bumping into somone on the street b/c you can learn to look up from your book... you get what i'm saying?? (I know, stupid example...sorry... I'll do better next time)
Anyways, Happy Valentine's Day!!

Oh, i so tried to walk away from this - even clicked off ... but had to return.

i cannot agree with this statement. ImNSHO O/one can most certainly change the way O/ne feels, in any given moment. It is sometimes referred to as intellect over emotion. As an example - i would say that it is impossible to feel depressed and exercise at the exact same time. Or to feel depressed and smile even. Ever see a depressed person smiling?

i understand that sounds simplistic - because it is. That said - i defy anyone to prove it wrong <no contempt prior to practical investigation please> by doing it. Next time You are feeling a little down even, use Your physiology <your largest input device> to "trick the brain" by being active. Watch in amazement as the brain sends "better" or "good" feelings coursing through the body. Instantly.

Once when i was running, and pushing myself, my legs wobbled, and my brain sent me a message "Umm - the legs are about to give out." My next thought was "oh, i better stop running now." But my intellect advised "but i don't want to stop" - so my consciousness sent a message back to the brain - "Brain <it said> tell the legs we are not stopping now, they better get strong, cause i am in charge and i say we are going to keep running." Imagine my amazement when i immediately felt my legs strengthen. <i call this tricking the brain> my intellect is in charge of what i will do, often in spite of my feelings. What I do has a profound impact on my feelings.

Want to change the way you feel? Change the way you move!

this, unfortunately, doesn't work for everyone. believe me, i have tried...i start do do this or that, get bored or tired of doing it and then sit down and let the project go unfinished. not everyone is a working dynamo and can get motivated to do what some people take for granted

(i know, more negativeness from the annoying brat in the center row...LOL)

Well Michael, in all fairness, that last post by me was almost a set-up to illicit negativity. Not intended or desired, but expected none the less. i expect more as a matter of fact.

i'll bet you a dollar it does in fact work (the most i can afford to lose ;-) Let me know if you ever want to put it to the test. hint: you get to be the guinea pig in the experiment.

Plus, i personally find you to be far more interesting than annoying.

seaturtle55, clinical depression is like cancer; one does not "think happy thoughts" and cure it; though i will admit it may help.

Michael is my friend; something i'm quite proud of.

Sort of. Cancer can sometimes be cured.
Depression is treatable; but it is not curable. Relapse is a common theme with many depressives.

I definitely have to disagree with you here. Sure, intellect can win over emotion if one chooses it to but at that point it's no longer emotion, it's merely an intellectual exercise. Don't get me wrong, I've "chosen" my mood many times in various circumstances for various reasons but that doesn't mean the underlying emotion vanishes in a puff of smoke. And yes, I have seen many depressed people smile. I've been the depressed person who smiles simply because I cannot stand pity and prefer to deal with my issues on my own rather than let the whole world know that life sucks at that point in time - that results in most people giving a figurative (or sometimes literal) pat of the hand followed by a "you poor dear." Not my cuppa, for sure, so instead I do what I have to do to get through the day and then deal on my own terms in my own time.

I'm glad it works for you. For me, not so much. OH, and yes, I can exercise and feel depressed. Forced exercise is a chore for me, not a joy so it does nothing but make me grumpy. Some people get the 'runner's high' effect. I don't.

I guess if one shares their own experiences and those experiences run counter to yours then it's considered 'negativity?'
