free computer

The last 6 months have been really tough for me…had a breakdown, questioned everything but all is good now.. I have had quite a few profound experiences lately and some dramatic steps are being taken in my life. I have found spirituality and am moving towards a simpler way of life. Next week is my last day at my it job: I’m joining a local commune, sort of a modern day monastery if you will where we devote ourselves to helping others.

I am out of my apartment on the 30th, and have already moved much of my stuff back to my dads, or donated it outright. But I still need to cleanse myself of some items.

I have enjoyed my time here but I am no longer want or am going to be part of the digital age. I waste time, look at porn, do really bad sinful things. I don’t want to keep it even if in storage.

I know some ppl are strapped for cash here and figured I would just give it to someone. I have enjoyed my time here. It’s not the best computer out there but its pretty damn good – 2 gig ram, 7800 gt vid card, sweet case, 3500 amd processor, 200 gig hd. If you want it let me know.

Thx,

pc

Wow. I am sorry to hear about your struggles. Perhaps this change is a good balance for you. I wish you the very best on your path. God Bless you man.

FWIW, I will turn 40 just after 2007 starts and I've been doing alot of reflecting on my life and where I am in it and the legacy that I leave in my wake. As I have a very strong focus on my children I believe that my attention is where it needs to be.

edit: not interested in your PC...just the personal stuff.

Got it and I'll do my best to post at that time. Just so I'm clear...what time zone? I am in PST.

Also, if the forum admins were to participate...I believe that they have the ability to read private messages. Just an FYI.

Shit.. Well.. Stuff like this makes you a better person in the end. I just hope you feel that way, and your new path is the one you really want, and will help to take you where you want to go in life. Best wishes, kay?

About the computer.. I would very much like to have it. But I'm in Canada, so I don't know how thats going to work out.

Thank you, and do Nothing a great big favour- TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF KAY!

I wish you the best, Puppychow.

While you didn't ask for any advice or comments, just a few thoughts:

During our lives, we sometimes make life-changing choices... sometimes for good, sometimes for ill. I hope and pray that this will work out for you.

At the same time, please don't burn any bridges with your family or your friends, whether RL or i-net. Remember that you always have choice, and that what appears to be wrong for you today may not be wrong for you in the future. Please always keep in touch with those you love.

You will always be welcome in these environs, and if you have the opportunity please let us know how you are doing.

Good luck.
