Displaying 31 To 60 Of 87 Comments Love is allowing another person into your personal world and opening yourself up to the inevitable injury of doing so. Taking that risk is the first and hardest step of love. To love is to hurt and be hurt but to grow out of that hurt and learn from it. By loving, you become strong, you survive. My most difficult task to date is loving my son enough to let go and allow him mistakes and injury. I don’t think it is that warm, squishy feeling when you lock eyes with that amazingly attractive human across the room or how you feel when he/she finally shows up with chocolates and flowers. Both of those feelings, however, are well worth experiencing. Thanks, Wolf! Great words. » Posted By coffeegod On February 22, 2011 @ 10:55 am Rather than angels, we believe our ancestors are the entities watching our backs. I know my father and my husband have their hands in my every-day life. Alicia has always walked with you, watching over you. Peace, my friend. Your eloquent remembrance of your sister serves well the both of you. » Posted By coffeegod On February 18, 2011 @ 10:30 am Welcome to the dark side, PW. Have a cookie. Nuking your HP {[Phooty!]} account is like lancing a boil or ripping off a band-aid. Thinking about it is worse than actually doing it. I am so very glad to be here. » Posted By coffeegod On February 18, 2011 @ 6:12 am Worth sharing….”The Disease called ‘Perfection’ “ In 1988 ‘Roseanne’ aired for the first time and I wept. She was ballsy, fat and hysterical. Her house was a wreck. She bitched about her job, her friends and cleaning. I remain a fan of hers to this day. When that cackle poured out of my television for the first time, I realized there were other women out there who weren’t size 0. Camryn Manheim was my next role model. She wasn’t perfect. She was fat and in love with herself. Her style is gorgeous and affordable. I will always love her. I moved to New Orleans in 1993. There I learned that I was attractive, intelligent and worthy. Perfection wasn’t necessary. I just needed to turn off the endless ‘You Must Be Perfect To Be Worthy’ tape that played in my skull. Not one particle of me is perfect. I think that is perfectly fine. Excellent post, Abby. Kudos! » Posted By coffeegod On February 18, 2011 @ 6:24 am Doing Business – The Right Way (Part 5) PW, I stand in awe of you. Accounting isn’t a strong suite but now I actually grok the concept. Thank you, sir. Now if I could just find a silent partner……. » Posted By coffeegod On February 16, 2011 @ 7:35 am Help Keep The Planet In Orbit – Donate Today I was a coffee buyer for Whole Foods Market down in New Orleans back in the day. The dairy buyer dubbed me coffeegod and it just stuck. She went by Dairy Fairy. We even petitioned the store team leader for business cards with those titles on them. It didn’t fly. I share well, believe in a polytheistic life style and can froth a mean pitcher of 2%. There are many gods of coffee. Pink and purple are my signature colors. Yeah, I’m a girl. 🙂 » Posted By coffeegod On February 16, 2011 @ 2:22 pm Sweet baby Buddha on a pogo stick! Please no American Apparel ads! I’ve seen enough asses for one life time. » Posted By coffeegod On February 16, 2011 @ 2:13 pm $60 headed your way. If you ever sell out to AOL, I’ll demand a refund. 😀 * ears perk up * Did I hear correctly? There’s a pink mug? » Posted By coffeegod On February 16, 2011 @ 8:54 am Amen, mah brutha! This country is drowning in a sea of ‘I got mine, fuck you’ selfishness. Poor people? Work ’em till they drop. There are plenty more out there. If I ever won the lottery, I’d buy Hawaii, boot out the asshats and secede from the Union. I bet we could get foreign aid. Edit – At no point did I say rich people are evil! » Posted By coffeegod On February 16, 2011 @ 2:06 pm Ignorance, from which one can completely recover, should be painful. Pain is how most humans learn. Unfortunately, rather than a sharp knife in the ass or hot poker in the eye, the pain of ignorance is delivered not to the ignorant but to the beings upon whom that ignorance is foisted. The pain felt by the ignorant is more akin to being pummeled during a pillow fight with toddlers. I have met few truly stupid people. I have, however, met buttloads of ignorant people, a good portion of which were college educated. Ignorance takes root in an inflexible mind, the minds that breed the ‘my way or the highway’ mentality. We learn when our mind is able to bend to a new idea/way of thinking. Think about how many people are just unable to allow that switch to flip, lighting that bulb and proclaim loudly, “HOLY SHIT!” or words to that affect. All one needs do to experience exactly how willfully ignorant we have become is google search for street smarts or view Jay Leno’s man on the street bit. Disgusting. To coin a phrase, “They don’t even realize they’re stupid.” Mike Judge penned, produced and directed a little gem in 2006, “Idiocracy”. Give it a watch but be warned, it is one of the most frightening films you will ever view. » Posted By coffeegod On February 16, 2011 @ 1:47 pm Not to mention, heaven will be full of ‘them’. Who needs eternity with that as a neighbor? Bleh. » Posted By coffeegod On February 16, 2011 @ 11:12 am My mom quaffs tea as well. I’m well versed in ‘tea THEN water just off the boil’. Successful baristas speak many languages. » Posted By coffeegod On February 16, 2011 @ 10:36 am The professor for my Statistics in Psychology course opened his first class with ‘First Law of Statistics – They can mean anything you want them to mean.’ Madison Avenue knows this. Slap a white coat and a pair of glasses on an actor, hand him/her a clipboard and voilà, Insta-Statistic-Spouting-Authority! » Posted By coffeegod On February 16, 2011 @ 10:34 am What is really scary about the whole bible thing is how much is left out, edited and just plain left on the cutting room floor. How can you vote on the (alleged) word of God? Either it is or it isn’t, right? And I want my holidays back, dammit. We had Yule long before it was taken over. * muttergrumblecurse * » Posted By coffeegod On February 16, 2011 @ 7:25 am C’mon over here and sit down on the recovering christians bench. There is always room for one more. You want a coffee? » Posted By coffeegod On February 16, 2011 @ 7:22 am I’m pretty lost without my daily update on Gwennie’s latest cleanse or the latest propaganda post about nutrition. * shudder * Ye ghods, what a memory. I’m much better now. » Posted By coffeegod On February 17, 2011 @ 11:30 am Holy cats! Good to see you. * happy sigh * » Posted By coffeegod On February 15, 2011 @ 1:19 pm Usually my following thins considerably after 10:00 a.m. Then they complain about how I keep them up at night….ingrates. » Posted By coffeegod On February 15, 2011 @ 1:14 pm Oh, COOL! The thing I missed the most during the past couple of weeks was the community. I am so glad to see you! Shiny! » Posted By coffeegod On February 15, 2011 @ 1:10 pm Nuking it from orbit is the only way to be sure. Darn glad to be here. » Posted By coffeegod On February 15, 2011 @ 1:08 pm Hey, PW! Can’t wait to get to the behind the HuffPo Curtain thread. That should be a most interesting and enlightening read. » Posted By coffeegod On February 15, 2011 @ 1:07 pm I’m pretty much coffeegod everywhere I can get the alias. Damn glad to be here. Same icon too. 😀 » Posted By coffeegod On February 15, 2011 @ 1:05 pm I admit to flying the badge widget. I liked my posts in purple. They could have kept their badges and just let me have a purple background. That would have given me much happy as well. Signed, » Posted By coffeegod On February 15, 2011 @ 1:01 pm I nuked my HP account from orbit the day news broke about the merger. I was being moderated to hell and back anyway so I left. Thank gawd I finally found this site. Good to be here. » Posted By coffeegod On February 15, 2011 @ 12:52 pm A Short List of Pres. Obama’s Accomplishments So a podcaster proclaimed administrative fail for a president based on one year in office? Wow…. Did Obama gank parking space in front of Carlin or something? Dan seems to have a big ol’ bone to pick with the President. Yeah, I didn’t get my pony or my plastic rocket but I realized long ago messes such as the one Mr. Obama’s administration inherited take years to clean up, not weeks or months. » Posted By coffeegod On February 17, 2011 @ 11:24 am Everything from “Over There” belongs “Here!” Back in the day, my husband’s pat reply for anything AOL-related was ‘Still trying to polish that turd, huh?’ That was my very first thought when I read of the merger. I feel duped and stupid. I actually bought the idea that AH had really dropped her conservative cloak and joined the free thinkers of the world. Teach me to believe anything a political commentator says, won’t it? » Posted By coffeegod On February 15, 2011 @ 1:27 pm You forgot the one about Gwyneth Paltrow’s latest bowel cleanse. » Posted By coffeegod On February 15, 2011 @ 1:22 pm Tips For Newcomers (and Regulars Alike) Thanks for the directions! I was a little lost but I’m much better now. » Posted By coffeegod On February 14, 2011 @ 11:42 am It is humbling to experience other’s grace under extreme duress. There are times when the only way to survive is to plod endlessly, one foot in front of the other, no end in sight. Everything I can think to say sounds trite. All of Japan is in my prayers. » Posted By coffeegod On March 18, 2011 @ 7:31 am Kalima, I don’t do cyberhugs but {{hugs}} and special prayers to you and yours for strength. If there is anything I can do for you, care packages, etc., please let me know. I’m serious. For the record, I’m really curious about the details regarding the communal bathing incident….just sayin’ » Posted By coffeegod On March 15, 2011 @ 9:46 amComments Posted By coffeegod
