:wiggle: Raven maybe this is a good time to put this behind you, and move on so this way you will have a positive attitude. It might be time for you to move on to better and happier times for yourself. It wouldn't hurt you to smile too.

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT GIRL!!!

i have made few great friends in here.. and met my "honey" through a great friend in here too! :giggle:

i have been through a lot.. and learned the hard way... and learned NOT TO TAKE THINGS AND LIFE FOR GRANTED EITHER! i guess he will NEVER LEARN (shrugs) as his mom still "BABIES" him at the age of 44 going on 45... sad, isn't it?

:hug: I am so happy for you, not only did you move on, make a good life for yourself, you met the love of your life too. This is what I am trying to explain to Raven to move on with his life and put this "so called ban" behind him.
You have made a good life for yourself because you have learned from mistakes like we all learned from our mistakes. It just takes some soul searching!! High five to you Feisty!!

:hug: You're very welcome girlfriend, I just saw what I read, and read in between the lines, and you were actually making a very good point, you were being insulting at all.
The irony of it is, when all is said and done, the fight has gone out of him, what will he do then? Does he still think punishment will be the issue?
You have the right to speak your mind, but, it isn't right that you get bashed or run to the mod about.
Sometimes you just have to stand up to people to get your point across, and then they learn to respect you.
 
THERAPY doesnt help.All those therapist do is listen to you yack and expect a payment from you. Its not worth it paying $100 an hour to a therapist when cops get you if you pay a girl $100 to make out with you.

that's probably because you GAVE UP TOO EASILY! you have to keep going until you find one that YOU CLICK WITH THAT YOU CAN FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH and that will let you do the talking and then give you feedbacks... i have had a share of lousy therapists too and a few wonderful ones too! you just have to keep going... don't you have insurance, ssdi, etc? there has to be a way.. i have to BE BLUNT WTIH YOU... BUT YOU DESPARATELY NEED HELP... everyone has been telling you this for months too... :(

don't you want to be HAPPY??? cuz i know YOU ARE VERY MISERABLE, BITTER, ANGRY AND DEPRESSED INSIDE that wants to get out and lash out at the world.. do you want to keep on living like this??? THINK ABOUT THIS...

:wiggle: Raven, Vampy isn't the issue in this thread, even though he is a Mod, the real issue here is a man, a scoutmaster that all these boys looked up to, has died by lightening.
Will there ever be a time that these 5 months can be a learning experience for you, and then chalk it up to experience and then move on to something better.
All in all, Vampy is doing his job, just like if he banned me for some reason, I can't hold that against him or Alex, or even Roadrunner, because they are doing their jobs, and because they are doing there jobs, that is why this forum is so successful and strangers have become friends.
Is there any way that you can just forget what happened, look into your heart, and realize they have a job to do, we have a job to do, and you have a job to do no matter what it is.

I hope and pray you will be able to forget those 5 months and live your life with no more anger. I think you will find more people here on this forum who will actually want to talk with you. Good luck!!

:gpost: Again Feisty, you hit the nail right on the head. That is exactly what I have been trying to tell Raven. I hope he will listen that we are helping him not hurting him.

i do wanna be happy. but i wanna see some justice first.

:applause: Now, I am glad to see that you do want to be happy. When you say you want to see justice first? What kind of justice are you talking about?

Like this family who has lost their son/husband due to a freak accident? Do you think they will want justice first too? That won't bring this gentleman back.

Just like with you, whatever kind of justice you're looking for, will that bring any kind of happiness back for you?

Maybe you can start by telling whoever your really angry with how you feel inside, discuss this without any agruing at all. Just talk Raven, get your feelings out. I think you can do that, and still be a much happier person. Give it a try.
 
It is a common knowledge that thunderstorms and lightnings can strike anytime in the mountains. That is known here in Utah, and we have had bushfires because of that. Some hikers go hiking and get caught unprepared in lightning storms. Every hiker should know better, and act accordingly to minimalise the threat of being struck by a lightning, meaning going downhill, avoiding trees, laying low, etc...

Recently, we went to Pikes Peak, and we read in the book that it was advised to go visit early in the day, as the lightnings and thunders tend to strike Pikes Peak in the afternoon hours like 2 to 4 pm. Sure enough, we arrived in afternoon and saw that the clouds surrounding the mountain was black and lightning. Next day, we went in the morning and it was beautiful and clear. One could see the views for miles and miles. After we left, it started to become dark again, and ofc in afternoon, there was lighting and thunders again. It's far more common than you may think!
 
Justice? Is this what it is all about Ravensteve1961?

Reading through this thread, I don't see any insults/bashings whatsoever, it's more of making a point here and more, obviously, you're missing out on those points or purposes of what other members are trying to do in a nice way....

Bringing up other issues in a thread that has no bearings to the topic for which it is about is pretty much frowned upon....

In the meantime, I'm closing this thread for a short time--

Mod Note:

Thread's reopened...let's get back to the topic for which this thread is about--


Thank you!

It's very saddening for such an incident to happen. Freak accidents - I must admit it's freaky having such incidents happening so close to each others and within a week. *smh*
