But I do believe it is possible that Roseanne Barr can in my opinion remember what the advice was without looking it up. I truly believe she can. In any case here is what I found and it is was originally written what Roseanne Barr said below:

How long do I have to keep suffering for His Will to be done in my life? I wait patiently on the Lord to guide me, but I have no idea where it is He wants me go. Me thinks it cannot be where I am at now. What does Jesus say?

“rocks for me...this is a world of suffering and never will be any but. the buddhists say existence is suffering....at the end we die...however, jesus wants you to know that there is indeed a way to cope with and live in this world...that is by watering the well inside...miriam's well (it is in the galilee, and so many of his stories were about the galilee)..he was a writer of stories that stuck and still do after all these thousands of years...a great writer, that is what jesus wants you to become, and you will never be finished trying... and suffering is a part of that process, so get used to it, and cope using the meditations i have posted for you to try..if they dont work, then they are not for you, you are paying nothing for them, and so they are free...being free and suffering are the same thing in this world....”
Good or bad, only time will tell, as it is “Up from here” as they say...
Do you ever wish you could go back and do things differently in your life, compared to how they have turned out? I do. If you could go back, what would you do over? How would you do things differently, if you could, than what you ended up doing and how they turned out for you?
Myself I sit here thinking how much I love to write and how I wish my life could be much different, than it is. Don’t we all. It seems when I do write as some people make comments to the effect that from my point of view everything I write seems directed to it is all about me, from my point of view. Everything, I write comes through my eyes and that is how I see things and it seems I cannot do it any other way, as much as I love to write.
I have always wanted to write and love to do it. I just never thought I could be good enough at it to be of interest to anyone, other than to me. I write as a way to pass time in some cases, and at other times dreaming maybe I can write something interesting enough for others to want to read.

Post subject: Reactions
It is funny and sad all at the same time how people react when they discover I have written about them. Naturally my point of view is going to be different from their point of view. My facts and their facts about things that have happened in the past, present and the future may not be as they saw them, compared to how I saw how things went down. When I am writing about different events there is more than one source that I have gathered my information from. It is my point of view of how I experienced it, along with other people who have experienced, some of the things; I went through, with the very same people, with different or similar situations that happened to them, as the ones that happened to me.
They wonder to themselves how could I do this to them? Or what did they do to me for me to write such things about them. It is not so much what they have done to me, but rather they just happen to be part of the story I am trying to tell from my point of view of how things went and how I saw them at the time. I for one know how people see me is much different, than I see myself. Where do they feel that they are any different in that case?
Our reputations such as they are, are what makes us who we are and we can either keep doing the same things over and over again and not realize it until someone comes along and rattles our cages, (so to speak) to help us see the things about ourselves that we do not see due to what are called blind spots. Each of us no matter who we are or where ever we have been in life have different life experiences, even if we happen to be looking at the same event.
We see it though our eyes, yet we could be standing next to each other and not always see or hear the exact same thing as the person next to us. Just like when people witness an event or an accident that has just occurred in front of them at the same time. Their perspective of what has just happened or transpired and what may have happened in the past is similar, but not exactly, as they saw it or the other person saw it as it was when it happened. That is when they get upset, mad, angry or hurt because from their point of view is not how things went or how they happened from their point of view in their opinion.
When things like this happen, each person who feels they may have been wronged or the facts or un-truths do not match what that they claim happened and feel they are not quite right, have just as much a right to write things from their point of view to set the record straight, if that is what they want to do. In the mean time, I am going to write things as I perceived them from my point of view, in hopes, that I will not only learn more about myself, and, learn from it on how I see things. Others will hopefully see things from a different point of view where they were unable to before; due to the blind spot we each have, when it comes to seeing things that happen and be able to learn from it as well.
I happen to love to write, and at times I may not explain what happened in the best of light. Sometimes, I may not explain the situation or circumstance as others may have seen it but I do the best I can to capture the moment in time and space and bring it back to life from my point of view, in hopes that others can feel what I experienced from my point of view. Just like in life there are always two or more sides to a story sometimes three and in that case it is not any different from anything else when we tell our side and other people begin to tell their side of any given situation or circumstance that befalls us all in life.
Assumptions as to how things are from our point of view may not be as other people perceived them to be at the time. We all assume things to some extent that may not be as how things really are in, from their point of view. We are told by some people “to stop reading so much into things”. How can we do otherwise, when from our point of view people act and do things that we expect them to do or as we assumed they would. All the while, they say, “they do not do things that way” or “they are not going to do what we assumed they would”, but they end up doing exactly as we assumed they would, anyway. Where at the time they gave the impression otherwise, that they had no intention of doing exactly what we were told not to assume they would do. They end up doing exactly what we assumed or how they would react when we presented to them the things they did not want to accept, about themselves, that they do, when they say to themselves and others, that they do not do.
All of sudden they feel you are judging them for their actions and what gives you the right to do that to them? They become defensive and want to turn things around and blame it on you. It is your fault as to why things happened as they did. “They do not do things like that” or “that is not how it was”, or “you assume too much” or “you put way too much into what really happened”. “That’s not how it happened, you have your facts all wrong I do not do things like that; only you would do something like that, not me”.
All of us are guilty of the very things I am discussing here. I am not above of being accused of having other people judge me when they say they are not. Yet, I am the one that is judging them when I speak up and say what I am thinking. Sometimes, I catch myself before I say things that later I may regret saying but where does that make me any different than anyone else? Do I not also have the same right as they do to say, think and do things the same way they do? Why is it that what I have to say is so important, after all I am nobody special?
However, just maybe what I do say or how I think when presenting the situation may in fact have facts that we may have over looked or did not see it the same way I did at the time. Yet, it happened just the same, whether we want to believe it or not. Each of us may not see things exactly the same way but in the end when it is all put together we have a bigger picture on how things can get better or worse depending on the situation on how I see things and how they may see things as they were in the past, present and now in the future...
