I did take my happy pills, and I'm doing a bit better. It's a lovely day and I was going to paint, but I think I'll work in the garden till the sun gets there. Gotta stay out of the sun, ya know.
Church
Thanks Baby Niece for your comments about going to church. I do need a spiritual shot in the arm, and I should probably overlook lots of the church politics and just go, but I have issues with Organized Religion. The absolute hypocracy in the church is apalling to me. Their stance on divorce and gay people irritate me. Not to mention that single people don't really have a place in the church. And I'm talking older, experienced adults, not college kids and 20-somethings.
On the other hand, the time I spent in the church in my past was a good time. I had a balanced life, many different friends to do many different things with, both inside and outside the church.
And I know you met Jim in church, which is a Very Good Thing. (For those of you who aren't related to me, Baby Niece and Jim have a healthy marriage, something a bit unusual in this family!) But years ago, one of my managers who was active in his church gave me a warning: A lot of people who go to church usually have to. Meaning that they're damaged individuals. But I guess if you go to church you know you're damaged and that's a start in fixing the problem.
Housework
I'm almost ready to paint the master bedroom, I still don't have a light in my kitchen and I need to do some weeding. Best get over my pity party and start working...
More to come...
As things happen, I'll be posting. Thanks for taking the time to read. You're opinions are welcome but if you have to start calling me names, don't bother, I won't read them. As my Dad says 'Opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one.'

A few churches in Ashburn have singles groups for the over 35 group. They have a pot luck dinner once a month and go to the movies etc. they post all the events on the church website......That manager sounds like one of the people we was warning you about.
The person that told you that sounds damaged.
Ok, you can try the Unitarians, they love gays, liberals, etc. I am a little biased, mind you. There were a lot of people in our church that were there for the same reason that I was. They were lonely and wanted to make friends and not have to hang out in smoky bars all the time. There were a lot of single people of both sexes and of many persuaions. There is some hypocracy, but there is in EVERYTHING not just religion. There is also the thing that UU's have the highest amount of people with college educations and steady jobs. If not the UU's then maybe the the Methodists or if you like pomp and circumstance, the Episcipalians. That is just my take. If you want to find out about UU's call me or go to www.uua.org I hope this helps. We love you!
