Oh, I'm so glad you have heard some good messages, anyway, especially at this rough time since Kolbe's trip to the RB.
I always do, too, although right now I am in a rough patch of my own that seems to have no end and the "good stuff" doesn't last very long for me, even when I'm actively seeking it.
When this all started, I called around and looked online for a prayer partner, since I couldn't get to church anymore (perfume allergies finally did me in a few years back). We see "Lakewood" "Oasis of Love" bumper stickers all over town, so I thought I would call or check their website. Did both--there was no outreach at all! I was shocked, but not totally surprised.
The "mothball fleet" you refer to, is it near you or do you mean at Suisun? Are there several ports where they are berthed--and is this US Navy you mean? If so, I'll PM you a funny story to tell on myself.
I tend to come to FR when the times get tough.
Have not been so low for years though.
Partly having my thyroxine levels too high has me coming and going with short term memory loss, I could not even get on the net due to lack of abilities when I tried too.
Hope things ease up for you also.
Strange to be down at such a wonderful time of year.
Yes I am talking about Suisan Bay Fleet.
The county commish came by to ask how the son was doing one day and we got to talkin about the salvage company and jokingly I said it would be awful to see the ships from Benecia (I migrated up here from that area 20 ago) parked out in my backyard being salvaged. His jaw dropped and rendered speechless for a nano then said That is exactly what they have coming.
Heh heh I got pro active as many others did and rumor has it the company is now looking else where.
And it has been years since I actively protested. The last thing I protesed was Hillary after we got her to sign 3 books smooch up with my son and the night before say on Letterman that Freepers/Right wingers don't come through her book signings. We went out joined some PNW Freepers and the Oregonian wrote up the story. LOL LOL That was fun.
