Other people think I'm cursed. I try to think of it as opportunities for spiritual growth. Here's the list of not so good things that happened (many gave rise to really good events, however): Unable to conceive; spent all our savings on fertility drs. and ruined our marriage; before marriage ended we adopted a daughter then husband left when she was 4yrs. old; never remarried but lived with someone for 6 years and spontaneously conceived at 41 and had a healthy baby boy-this was all good; My partner went off the deep end and quit his job when our son was 2wks. old. My partner left me the year our son was 2years old and daughter was 13 years at the same time. My house burned down 1 year later(our two dogs died in the fire), my ex, to whom I had given the house and insurance payments had let the insurance lapse, 6 months later I lost my job of 10 years, I had sex one time in this two year period (4th of July 2004) and got pregnant (miscarried in Oct. after an accident);daughter became depressed and suicidal during 2005; As we were finally getting back on our feet my ex-husband died on Good Friday 2006 which put our lives back on a roller coaster for the past year. There were other things like hurrcaine Katrina, but many others were affected by that as well.

A cursed pirate? Who ever heard of such nonsense?LOL ME? DEFINITELY! As for why, well I could bore you with examples from my love life, work and things in general, but I won't. There are all ready several examples I've posted here, but that's only tip of the iceberg. I don't usually like to bother folks too terribly much with my problems.

I know I am. I've had bad luck since last October. So many things have gone wrong. And there was a seven year period in my life where my world just came apart, from 1987-1993. My marriage ended, the company I worked for was taken over, I had to relocate out of state to keep my job, both my parents died, another girlfriend who wanted to marry me decided not to, other friends died, I was down to my last $100 at one point (with a $500 mortgage payment due), my family just about stopped communicating altogether, my co-workers hated me because they thought I was after their jobs, my car was falling apart and I couldn't afford a new one.

I am resented often to the point of hatred.

No, I never believe in luck, good or bad. That is all a state of mind. The only people who fall prey to bad luck are those who believe in it. (BTW...damn nice pic, Blank woo hoo!):)

Actually, in comparison to most folks, I lead quite a charmed life.

I sure don't. In fact, I feel the opposite. :)

For the most part I feel very blessed. Like I am sure it is with most folks many things do not go as planned and at times I sort of feel cursed, but I purposefully bring to mind the good things to beat the bad things down. So far it has worked. I am an optimist I suppose.

Yes. Disabilities are curses. People may be able to somwhat overcome their handicaps, and work with them. But they're still stuck with those handicaps.

Biologically, of course. Many reasons. So many reasons! Ask, and I'll tell. If you don't...then, oh well.

Yes and No. I was flower girl in my oldest sister's wedding... her best man committed suicide years later. I was Maid of Honor in a girlfriend's wedding... her mom committed suicide years later. I was Maid of Honor for another girlfriend... her husband was shot and killed a couple years later. I was Maid of Honor for my sister-in-law... her brother was also my best man... he committed suicide 3 years after both of our weddings. I was living with my husband on his foster father's farm... his foster father committed suicide. My first love called me from jail when I was 17 and my parents wouldn't let me talk to him... that night he hanged himself in jail. So... while I have been greatly impacted by all of these occurrences... I guess I have always felt that anyone I came in contact with was actually the one cursed for having been in contact with me. I certainly will not be in any more weddings!

Well, everytime I look in the mirror, all I see is a skeleton. I'm really starting to wonder about that.

If I'm naked I feel blessed.
