Clever idea..

Mark on Purim

Here's a quote from a PM that Dov sent me:

As far as the joking around and those who think the forum is lost, it seems plain to me that we are busy having fun together because that's what some of life is about. They'll come around. Maybe they are suffering from a new virulent strain of bDS?

we are busy having fun together because that's what some of life is about.

When we start LIVING LIFE, our addiction fades away...

Like Uri posted:

Our illness comes from a place of fear.From a place of insecurty.From a place of lonely hopelessness.
We're not trading your-momma jokes.
We are showing love and concern.
We are laughing and hugging.
We are healing the problem.
This is not a philosophical site (for the most part).
A tushload of philosophy has been written on this subject.
SLAA meetings arent a chance to share philosophy.
Its a forum in which to share and feel understood and accepted.
And that's what goes on here on GYE.
Its true some threads get hijacked.
Its true Rage has forgotten his english.
But we are not forgetting why we are here.
THIS IS WHY WE ARE HERE
Our addictions will never let us forget why we are here because we have constant nisyonos.

A man was walking along a Florida beach and stumbled across an old lamp. He picked it up and rubbed it, and out popped a genie.

The genie said, "OK, You released me from the lamp, blah blah blah. This is the fourth time this month, and I'm getting a little sick of these wishes so you can forget about three... You only get one wish!"

The man sat, and thought about it for a while and said, "I've always wanted to go to Hawaii, but I'm scared to fly, and I get very seasick. Could you build me a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over there to visit?"

The genie laughed and said, "That's impossible!!!

Think of the logistics of that! How would the supports ever reach the bottom of the Pacific? Think of how much concrete -- how much steel!! No, think of another wish."

The man said, "OK, I'll try to think of a really good wish."

Finally, he said, "I've been married and divorced four times. My wives always said that I don't care and that I'm insensitive.

So, I wish that I could understand women, know how they feel inside, and what they're thinking when they give me the silent treatment. Know why they're crying, know what they really want when they say "nothing,", know how to make them truly happy."

The genie said, "Do you want that bridge to be two lanes or four?"
