Sorry bout that,
9. Don't underestimate traveling, its always been rewarding for me, I have been traveling sense I was 18 years old, and its always been great to see other parts of the world, it too can be very therapeutic for you, so think of that place you've always wanted to go see, and perhaps plan a trip there, I wonder about the, *British Virgin Islands* sounds like a great place to me.

1. Its not Rich its James.
My apologies on that James. Not quite sure where that came from. Though I will say that every time I see your signature my first thought is.... "He better have a white belt, spurs, a golden fealty chain and be able to tell me where Ansteorra is if he expects me to use that title for him."
1. No problem.
2. Sure, if that will better place you to advance in all things, go ahead.
Mostly it's going to wipe the board clean and get me away from a number of negative influences that are currently hampering things.
2. Great idea, a fresh start.
Either tomorrow or Thursday. I never thought that I would miss the gym as much as I have the last week and a half when I joined 18 months ago
It's an in-demand field, especially since I've worked in several different industries with it, so I have a diverse base of experience.
3. So money isn't a problem for you, it is for a lot of people though.
You're absolutely right that we all die. No point in even attempting to argue that point. In this particular case it was the who, when, how, and why that really set me off.
4. I never knew my father, and he died when I was 16, I was in Texas and he lived in California, so at least you have the memories of your father, which you can draw from to incorporate into your life now, I got a goose egg from my father, which reality, would you rather have? I'm okay with what I have, without my father though, so its really no big deal for me,
As I think I mentioned earlier, this was the most good, decent, and faithful person I've ever met in my life. The one truly GOOD person I've ever known. The one who did things for everyone else before himself. Faithful to his God, church, family, country, job, etc... before his own desires. Then, at the moment in his life when he might finally be able to start doing some things for himself and his wife; some of the things they'd always wanted to do but couldn't because they were putting the kids through college, dealing with their own parents illnesses and deaths, building a house, etc.... They get to spend 33 months playing cat and mouse with skin cancer that eventually moves into his brain and kills him..... but that turns him into a hollow, weak husk of the man he had been.
5. You need *time*, *time*, heals all wounds of the heart, hang in there, the more amount of time that gets between you and what happened to your father, the more you will be able to recover.
To all of this I have but one real question..... If the GOD that he was so faithful to, even to the morning of his own death could find no sympathy, no mercy, and no earthly reward for THIS MAN, one of his truly good followers, what sympathy, mercy, or reward can I, who in probably 1/10th the MAN this person was, expect from that same God?
6. Gods still faithful, so let that idea go, even with your father, death is death, sure a slow death isn't the best way to go, but we don't get to decide how we go, well we do have a choice somewhat, you see, your father was a fighter, he showed you he would fight to stay with you, even if it kept him in distress, and pain, even though, he was going through so much, he was glad to hear the reports on what else was going on in the world, and was grateful, just to hang on to his life as long as he could, to benefit you and your mother and family, so try not to blame God, your father was the one not letting go, its not easy for anyone to just let go, but we always do, sometime. Jesus was able to let go perfectly, on the cross, he just said, "It is finished" and then *let go* and died, of course his *death* meant *life*, which is a whole other matter, but in reality, its also the same for those *In Christ*, which it sounds like your father surely was. For by Jesus' death he draws all life to himself, and we are born again through his death, and raised again to eternal life after we die, as your father is right now. So try to look past those days, and know, your father is most certainly in heaven right now, with Jesus, in his own mansion.
6. The internet is full of jerks who think its funny as hell to hurt others, some sick people on here for sure, but as of now we haven't seen any pipe in, not yet.....
Trust me, I'm well aware of the knobs that inhabit the internet. After the knobs I've dealt with in real life over the years they're actually nowhere near as annoying as you might imagine.
7. Thats great, don't get fooled by some of these clowns, and *evil bastards*.
7. Perhaps when you move, thats when things will change, usually when we move, things have to change, its always been that way for me, might want to go visit a third world country, see how they do things there, you may learn something, that can change your world here.
I'm hoping. It's definitely going to be a new and exciting adventure. It will be a move towards an area which is much more to my political and philosophical bent, and closer to a number of friends who I know will actually support me; so it has to be better than what I've got here. It's also going to be a new, fresh, clean slate to start from.
8. Yes a new beginning is a good idea, I will support that for you.
While I thank you for the advice on going to visit another country, as an Isolationist and a Nationalist, that's pretty much out of the question.
