Time for trial.

People, if you don't see me posting here in the next 12 hours, look in the newspaper, there'll be a girl died from embarrassment.

Just in case, goodbye everyone. I love you all.

"A good many young writers make the mistake of enclosing a stamped, self-addressed envelope, big enough for the manuscript to come back in. This is too much of a temptation to the editor."

- Ring Lardner​

LOL.

Good advice, sweetie.

Ya know, Fem, if this is your work and original, you have a short magazine article here for which real publications pay thousands, and that millions of people read. In the States there's one called Parade that is inserted into the Sunday editions of hundreds of NPs nationwide. I would not be a bit surprised if they snapped this up. Readers Digests has little shorts, too, I believe

Maybe some others here with more publishing experience can back me up. They may recommend that you take this post down and send it in, in fact.

I'm serious.

nope was email i got from a friend.

Hapy couples make me feel diseased and enraged.

I just want the illusion of possible happiness. Why is that so much to ask out of life?

I don;t get it... wouldn;t seeing happy couples reinforce that illusion?

That would be nice, but it doesn't work that way in my brain right now.

No. It's like being a starving, poverty stricken person stuck outside a restaurant. You can watch all these people eating knowing you can't.

Tough not to feel envy.

Better than knowing there's no food for anyone, ever, surely?

In the words of Tommy Lee Jones in Men In Black, "Oh yeah? Try it."

Sorry, don't mean to sound too snarky. I'm a lot better with it these days. But there's been many times when watching happy couples is extremely painful to watch.

The main difference is I've given up. Honestly. I no longer have the slightest expectation of ever being in a relationship. It's actually rather a relief. I don't waste emotional energy on something beyond my grasp.

I want tacos. Am I willing to drive for them? That is the question.

I've been there. Never assume .


I understand, I was just enjoying the discussion really.

Everyone always envies those who have what they don't. Me: I feel gut-wrenching jealousy every time I see someone take their health for granted or waste money.

It's a boyscout camp counselor.

It's a pretty tough job, but I'll get free food, lodging, a great tan, a month-long workout and access to a pool and a lake and such. S worked there last year and I visited him there, and I already helped wherever I could. I've been hoping all year that they'd have a job for me this year.
