Ever since I was younger I couldnt stand hearing about child abuse. Or terrible muggings, or horrible murders. I couldnt and now cant get them out of my mind for a long period of time. Others can just let it run down their backs. Do you have this same feelings?

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps.

I work for an upscale dept store.about 125 stores in the chain,mostly West Coast.
He didn't get permission,just made a moral decission.
As we were announcing that we were closing the store in memeory and to honor those who had lost so much....many of our cutomers were walking out saying we were closing just so we could go home.I was horrified ,that people could be so calous,as to "shop" on a day like that.
I could hardly stand up on that day,I was so overwhelmed by the horror of it.
YES,bad things like that do affect me in a serious way...it's almost a type of empathic ability,to feel others pain.Even with simpler things,like a friend who's beloved cat died.
funny thing is, i'm AWESOME in a real life crisis...unless...um...it's MINE...like i PERSONALLY am bleeding ::grin::
