i hate the holidays

[fiddlehead]

I was on the AT just north of Kent CT when Jerry died. Played a lot of music that night at the shelter. I think of it everytime i'm near Kent now.

IAMTHELAW70, you are at a crossroads that you could be looking at like it's the best thing(s) ever happened to you.
That's how i got started in all this.
Enjoy that kind of freedom. (it doesn't come often in life)

There were days
and there were days
and there were days I know
when all we ever wanted
was to learn and love and grow
Once we grew into our shoes
we told them where to go
walked halfway around the world
on promise of the glow
stood upon a mountain top
walked barefoot in the snow
gave the best we had to give
how much we'll never know we'll never know

-- Days Between (Garcia/Hunter)

thanks folks, even though things arent exactly going my way and i am well aware there are plenty others out there way worse off its just always good to vent here and there. and besides u dont need that much money it just all depends on the way of life your used to living and so on. no frills equals SAVINGS!!! and top ramen is only 1 dollar for 7 packages who can beat that?

All of us anti-christmas types should pack up and head for the hills with enough food and tonic to last till all the hoopola blows over.....then emerge in time for the New Years party when the fun begins.
Iamthelaw-It is said that everything happens for a reason, just don't know what that reason is, hang in there, it gets better!

Good idea and good advice Woodsy ! Wish I could do that for sure !

Grandma at 17? WOW.

Yeah man sometimes you gotta go down to come up. I have a few times. It's cool though. The deeper the roots the bigger the tree.
