Guest guest Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 " They ask me am I gonna go to london tomorrow and i was so afraid to be honest with them and I just say yes i've paid it all, but i haven't really, because i was so worried they might keep going on at me and I don't like that. So Its ok to tell a white lie now again and i know they will forget and not noticed i'm not there. " I think in the future you would be better off telling the truth and if they persist in asking you things you do not want to say, just answer " I'd rather not talk about that just now if you don;t mind. " Sticking up for yourself and being honest will make you feel better and won't leave you with a guilt trip. Tom Administrator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truth is always the truth no matter who you tell it to while lies require a lot of time and effort to keep straight. Raven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 susie, i don't like travelling much either. I dread planes. I like to know exactly where I am going, how long the travel will take. I have to pack days in advance, but I prefer a week. I have not left the country in 22 years. I would be very scared. I also don't want someone that I don't know to drive. mimi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 College life was a real problem for me. The Classes weren't too challenging, but the people were the problem. I get along well with most of the professors, but the students! Most of them were more interesting in partying and carrying on than they were about getting an education. That really galled me. It was very hard to get to know anyone because so few had my interests: getting an education, doing well in class, didn't drink, hated parties, etc. I stayed about 3 semesters the first time. I went back when I was about 27 or so, starting with night classes and it worked out better. By then I didn't care so much about the peons, though they hadn't changed. They did wear on me if I spent too much time around them outside of class though, so I tried to keep my distance as much as possible, including eating meals outside, which most of them had an aversion to, and by walking around the grounds, which they also had an aversion to. I finished up in an adult studies program where I was actually one of the youngest class members. I really liked that group because everyone was serious about getting their education.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 I had a class like that and enjoyed it very much. It was a literature class. Attending it was more like attending a book club that attending a class. We all discussed things deeply. None of the adults there were embarassed to talk about their ideas and they all had deep insights.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 I've attended a few writing classes - the one that was meant to be for begginers was great, as the ideas were so fresh and it was great seeing people develop writing styles. I was invited to be a member of another writing group where most of the members were seriously into writing and I actually found it a bit 'stuffy' - it felt like they were almost competing with one another to sound as big worded as possible (don't know quite how to express this); but like the writing styles were all over the top - too elaborate, no freshness, no passion - just wordy and by wordy I mean there was no substance, big words but no substance. I guess with the second group no-one was writing from the heart - all technical - no substance. I would take something writen from the heart even if it is not technically correct over the other any day (for preference). > > I had a class like that and enjoyed it very much.
