Don't the council still offer a service? Also several charities and private enterprises will pick up furniture free of charge.
Also we must accept finite dissapointment but must never lose infinite hope.
And although my eyes were open
They just might as well be closed

Good idea. Next time life (or my sofa) is getting on top of me, I'll phone the council and get them to take the sofa away. So that was the problem all along! 🤨
<<< Also we must accept finite disapointment but must never lose infinite hope. >>>
That IS good.
I just lost my rag in town in crazy traffic, and was feeling like my head was all wonky so thank goodness for this forum and some intelligent contact! 🤨👍

“The happy life is to an extraordinary extent the same as the good life.”
(- Bertrand Russell, The Conquest of Happiness, 1930)
My interpretation: Good as in right- thinking, right-acting and generous of spirit (opposite of mean-spirited and unkind.)
DO NOT RUSH ABOOT LIKE A MAD ANE.
TAKE IT NICE AND EASY OR YOU WILL GO CRAZY.

John 3:16 So we can have Eternal life? I was going to avoid that wee subject, but have you ever thought that maybe some of us don't want to be the same person forever? And please not a heaven that's full o' folk. I prefer a bit o' peace.

I really dont know why you go to bible studies Terry. You have apparently been doing it for some time now and you say that. You must be wearing earplugs, reading with your eyes shut or studying at the mosque.

Honestly you think nowadays with all that’s going on the bible or what version was written will save the world?
Each to their own but it ain’t going to happen.

UPLIFTING:
'morally or spiritually elevating; inspiring happiness or hope.'
Every post on here should aim to do this. OK I posted a couple that don't.
I'm gonna try again. Anyone game for a go?
How about:
WHEN YOU MESS UP
DRAW A LINE UNDER IT
HAVE ANOTHER GO
GIVE IT YOUR BEST SHOT

There's different levels of uplift.
Thinking about the hour-to-hour level; small kindnesses, such as when I was reversing into a parking space. I needed to adjust, so I signalled to a car to come on past. He signalled to me as if to say, 'You carry on mate, you were here first, I can wait.'
Then I did MYSELF a kindness. Instead of rushing to get my shopping done in the free half hour, I bought a £1 ticket!
I said to the young man at the checkout, 'I'll have a bag please.' Nice as pie, he opened one out and filled it with my shopping as he was checking stuff through.
Small kindnesses such as these make a difference to me and give me a wee lift.

I was reading this thread when the doorbell rang. A couple of charming young Mormon lads. Maybe it was a sign from God? Anyway, they gave me a wad of pretty leaflets. Looks like I have some bedtime reading. Should be fun...
:)
Back to topic. There is one statement that I have called upon many times in my life and know to be true.
NO PROBLEM IS INSURMOUNTABLE.

I'm don't think you will find Mormonism fun Oz.Lots of hard work earning a passage to heaven(3 stages are on offer) and can only be obtained by voluminous good works.Ascend high enough and you can be a God.
Contrast that with Ephesians 2: 8-10.
Mormonism is another gospel.

The lowest point of my life came the night after my wife of 31 years died of cancer. It had been a long time coming and it was awful to witness. And there's a lot of truth in the saying that the mourning begins on diagnosis, not on death. My two kids left the hospice with their partners and went to their homes, while I drove the 30 miles through the countryside to my home in a lonely daze; there was a point where I felt so full of despair, I even contemplated just swinging the car off into a tree. I got home to find the house full of my wife's things, her scent was everywhere. I can't really describe how sad and full of melancholy I was for months afterwards; in truth, I was just going through the motions, there was no spark of life in me.
After a few false starts, things started to pick up and here I am nearly ten years later, three years into a very happy new relationship which has brought two additional grown-up daughters into my life. I have four grandchildren too. My house is full of laughter. There is not a day goes by that I don't think of Cathy, my late wife. But, I am thankful for what I have now and thankful for every day.
So there you are: proof positive that "no problem is insurmountable".
