Holidays, Children, the Easter Bunny and God
Posted Mar 31, 2002
So, dear friends, exactly when is the appropriate time to confess to your children that you are a liar? Hence the Easter Bunny Dilemma. A while ago, a man that I know to be moral (unbelievably stringent, certainly dogmatic, absolutely 100% correct in all things - with NO room for any mistake as he is enlightened by God himself!) informed a group of us that we were, at best, the world's most horrible and incompetent parents. And, at worst, agents of the devil himself. HUM. The basis for his concept was this: WE (the horrific, horrendous, most horrid horde) have betrayed our offspring through our overt and deliberate deceptions. Via an intricate web of fabrications and delusions, a conspiracy that is infinite in its scope through a total lack of love - and I do mean not even one scintilla of affection!! - we have set out to perpetuate our evil at any cost. And part of that disgusting vileness is personified in the form of the EASTER BUNNY!! DO YOU NOT KNOW ? -- HE DOES NOT EXIST! How dare you promote this repulsive nefarious behavior and/teaching? What will they ( YOUR SO-CALLED "BELOVED CHILDREN") think of you when they discover you have intentionally misled them? They will HATE you. And that dear friends, is Exactly what you Deserve. How interesting that so much intolerance, so much hatred is perpetuated in the name of righteousness and good. Why is it that Holy Wars are never holy - just bloody and hurtful and ultimately -- not successful. Where, oh where, has the love gone? Can anyone tell me? Happy Easter.

Where I'm at today
Posted Mar 29, 2002
"I feel so very blessed." Each time I hear someone say things like that I USUALLY do not believe them. Once upon a time, it would have been accepted as BIBLE. I, of all persons currently inhabiting this planet at this time, have become increasingly cynical. The type of cynicism that hardens you, remolds and reshapes you into a totally alien form. An unrecognizable form. When did this occur? (Was 9/11 the ultimate proof?) No one could comprehend the aggrevation I felt at the mods et. al. for their horrific behavior towards the stalwart correspondents of the Welcome Lounge. Totally undeserved - and if the last bastion of reputed civility on the planet ( i.e. our friends, the British, in the entity of the BBC) is either proven to be mythical ( perhaps the result of an extremely long and quite skillfully promoted ad campaign ) or simply a delusion on our part, is that any better? I do not want to be so untrusting that I begin to doubt myself or my "guts" if you will. SOOOOOOO I'm going with a big one: I feel so very blessed that I found ( or, more likely, was sent ) to this site. Thank you to all who have responded - you have touched me beautifully. And I can't wait to meet the rest. What A TREMENDOUS TRIP!

Searching for Pegasus

Hi Sus, Thanks for the referral to this fantastic place - no doubt there are fun times to be had. How long have you been encountering problems with the hosts? Do you have any idea where the rest of my cyber friends have disappeared to? It was amazing to me that one day the Welcome Lounge was thriving and the next it was totally non-existent. Is this typical?
