Why is it you always seem to be just moving from one problem to another. Do you ever solve them all, or is there an endless line of them waiting for you?
Maybe it's just me, but it always seems that just when I'm sure that I'm happy with everything in my life, I somehow end up discovering something that I'm not happy with but never realised before.

Unless you manage to follow the eightfold path, free yourself from the bonds of karma, and achieve enlightenment. But as far as I can tell thats harder than it sounds.

Maybe I should try Prozac instead. 🙁

Originally posted by eddiedeanIt's not something that can just be tackled unfortunately. There has to be outside factors that fall into place first, and I don't think I really have control over those. If I tried to tackle the problem without that then I can see what the next problem is likely to be, and it would be way bigger than this.
Can you just tackle this problem head on?

Originally posted by Ian68Well, just try not to worry, because that never helps any thing. Maybe try to focus on the things you do want to happen, instead of the things you don't. But then again, what do I know?

Edit: And it was a really bad idea posting this in the forum because someone will read this and think I'm talking about something different to what I am. 😳

Of course this doesn't apply to me. I have at least ninety-nine problems and my girlfriend probably accounts for a third of them, but conversley is my refuge from the other two thirds.
If it's girl/boy stuff, don't get too worked up, these things come and go. They shine and fade, and become bittersweet memories. Then you start again.

Were you seriously interested in joining that clan I inherited in the forums? You seemed to try really hard to get me to let you in for a while, but then just gave up when I was almost going to.

Originally posted by Ian68No, I was just playing around, my loyalty belongs to only one clan. Thanks for the offer though. How is that clan going?

Originally posted by eddiedeanI've not tried to recruit anyone, just playing a few games myself. Won the only challenge I've finished so far though.
