a 24 yr. old good for nothing

The term "family" can be thought of as those of us that belong to the wrongplanet---or those of us on the autistic spectrum. But as most of us know---not everyone in a family necessarily gets along.

Upon reading all the advice that everyone has tried to offer---whether harsh or mild---one thing is apparent so far. This thread has gotten nowhere except caused heated arguments. These arguments appear to be between those offering harsh advice and ttqs84 over the issue of the band.

So here is a question to ttqs84. Can you, ttqs84, give up on seeing the band and try to proceed with your life? You truly do not need the band to become the potential person you can become. In light of your responses toward others that you feel have been in conflict with you, I for some reason see a respectable and caring person underneath this. I truly believe that if you can move on with your life you will find happiness.

I am 44 years old, and I can tell you from experience that you have to be careful with what you think you have to have. For example, I used to obsess over this hugh Kimball Xanadu three manual theatre organ that had cost over 30,000 dollars in 1982. I wanted that more than anything in the world. But that was a lot of money. In the 1990s, I still obsessed over it. I kept wishing and wishing for it. Then, one day, a music store got a used one in for 5,000 dollars---and I bought it. Whoa---was this a nightmare. It never worked right, and for six months I was miserable. finally, the music store traded us a brand new top of the line console piano for it. My moral is, if there is something you really want (like seeing the band) you will probably get your wish. But many many times, that wish turns out to be not what you expected.

I checked out Take That's website and it seems the only concerts they have in 2009 are for a summer tour in Great Britain? If it is that important to you, will you be able to save up enough money to get over there to see them? And if you do go, you should try to do other things there too like see Stonehenge, London, etc. Perhaps you could find other people around you that could go too and try to get a group rate on the trip. But if you do go, make sure you have tickets for the performance---that could be a disaster. Good luck. I sincerely hope you get to have your dream.

i've learned my lesson and that is not to talk my problems out at all because people (who don't even know me at all) will start beefs with me like they usually do.

Please shut the hell up.
You didn't even read the thread.

Someone still doesn't know how to keep their time-of-the-month misery from spilling over to others. Sure, it's understandable to seem too weak to control that attitude at the first time this happens, but by the end of the teenage years, if they still don't know how to keep it under control when their monthly arrives, that's (well, I'll let others guess what would've been said in this space.)

(Yes, cue the excuse that ignorant/idiotic behavior/people/responses/etc. is what drives the rage. They are that predictable!)
