Aurora has a good sense of humor---and was actively helping Sly earlier.

Thanks Kraftie

No the federal government, Obama, Social security saying they going take my guns.

You don't understand . See we can't own military weapons. We can't own full auto. That simi auto uzi is the exact same as that 1911. They both simi auto. Both fire the same one round per pull of the trigger. Banning something because it's scary is like the race laws that prevent blacks from going to certain areas because people are afraid of black people. You don't ban stuff because of how it looks, you ban based off function. All the guns they want to ban function exactly the same as the guns they say would not be banned, they just black guns instead of wood stocked guns. They'll banning modern plastic tech basically. Bet if they mad a plastic that looked like wood the left would make the same banned gun legal because now it don't look scary. So stupid.

Because no one I know knows any single women, or they tell me I'm not good enough for their single friends.

Hugs.

I have a glock 19 all paid for and coming sometime in the next 2 months. In all likely hood I may not be able to because of Obama and I'll be rejected and arrested at the place I work. All so Obama can hurt gun owners because he didn't get his way. He's a child throwing s tantrum and this is our president.

Thanks Sly
Hugs for you too, I know how you feel about your impending birthday. I have also pictured myself passing various milestones by certain ages, and none of them have happened either.

Each year makes me more and more sad. Why can't any woman like me

I liked it. It was a lighten the mood fun fact.
And if it Had to be relevant, then fine, it also is..it's a number, not a guarantee finite line everything must go by this date or all hope is exhausted. Forever.
Personally, i just liked the former.

But how is the context even relevant to this case? Atomic mass is a completely different aspect then biological age. It is much like inputting feet into a formula, and expecting to get an answer in meters.

I just wanted to signal to you, that I just cannot follow your reasoning at all.

Just ask next time, and I'll always try to explain.

Yes, obviously atomic mass is not comparable to a person's age. That wasn't the point of the reference, it wasn't an analogy. It was merely an interesting fact about the number 28, meant to distract from the negatives he associates with that number. Because none of the typical responses of "that's not too old!" or "you still have lots of time" ever make anyone feel better about their age related worries.

I'm sorry Sly

They can like you.

Is it possible you are stuck in the negative and not liking yourself deeply enough that you couldn't accept or see it if they did?
That kind of stuff can create a self-fulfilled prophecy where we are so focused on the potential bad that we miss the good and unintentionally, end up making sure the bad happens.

For example, a girl likes a guy and she is so down on herself and convinced he's better than her that she keeps saying things to him about how crappy she is, and he keeps saying 'you're not!' And maybe she starts thinking surely he'll start looking at other girls, so even though he wasn't, she starts asking if he was. Repeatedly. And she keeps saying how he's going to break up with her and he tries to say he won't, but she keeps on.

And in the end, they break up...but it had nothing to do with her not being good enough or him liking someone else..she created a self-fulfilled prophecy and pushed it and as a result, no matter what he did or said, she remained down on herself and suspicious of him and other girls and convinced he'd break up with her, etc etc and he finally had to end it. Meanwhile, had she gone into it with a completely different positive and open perspective, they might still be together.

But the girl doesn't see that. She sees the breakup as yet more proof of her original mindset. Thus not only self-fulfilling, but also self-perpetuating, she becomes even more certain that the next guy will dump her - ~if~ one ever even goes out with her again and she's yet more convinced that she will never be happy. And sadly, unless her mindset changes, she probably won't.

This kind of stuff happens a lot. I don't know if we can self-fulfill the positive, but i definitely know we can the negative. I've done it before. And all along the way, it feels like crap.

So you mean that the utility of that statement is consolation? Well, I understand it a little better now, although Sly's situation has ceased to be of my concern. He just really made my blood boil yesterday... I just don't want to talk about it. But if your motivation is the well being of others, I commend you for it.

Me too.

If you saw yourself the way Aurora and i do, you'd be all like 'yo, i'm da biznatch batch of awesomeness'. Or at the very least, you'd see a really good guy.

Yes, I was attempting to console him.
