What is on your mind

[Soft*Silver]

Wolfy, sometimes the purpose is not to arrive or catch, but to pursue and move.

And, about the job, it will come. Check in your employment office, who has the monies from the gov to assist people over 50 seek and obtain and retain employment. I worked for the organization here called Mature Services. Each county has their own state based program from federal monies. I think they are claled Title XX monies.

People DO want the wiser, more mature, more reliable worker. Some fields are better with this than others. Did you get my feedback on your resumes?


That would depend on where the final destination is

I mean what fun would it be to have both of us running
if there's nothing waiting for either of us when we tire out and stop

[scootebaby]

I'd be happy to....but hiding her cookies might hurt more. Just sayin' :winky:

Love,

[Miss Scarlett]

The outpouring of love and support from the people of the small town where I work to the family of a 22 year old soldier killed last week in Iraq.

Today he came home for the last time. Escorted by numerous police and fire departments and over 75 Patriot Guard Riders. People turned out in large numbers lining the route from the airport in Charlotte all the way to the funeral home in Concord. The procession came through downtown Concord stopping briefly in front of City Hall where the mayor presented keys to the city to this young man's 21 year old widow and his parents.

Everything in downtown came to a halt for this young man. Everyone from the courthouse and all the businesses downtown lined the street. Despite the large crowd it was nearly silent while we waited.

The sadness was almost overwhelming - it was like the buildings and the sidewalks under our feet were mourning.

There were the old men in their veteran's caps and jackets from WWII, Korea and Vietnam. Scattered through the crowd they came to honor a fallen brother.

The very tall older gentleman, obviously a veteran, standing silently...the look in his eyes will stay with me for the rest of my life...as the crowd dispersed our eyes met and I saw in them the pain of everything those eyes must have seen when he was a young soldier.

How is it that I send a text, realize I didn't word it right, and now I am in the dog house and being accused of backtracking? Can't someone just say something, then realize it didn't come out right, and want to correct it? Seriously?

I hate text messaging!!:|

[Soft*Silver]

I have found that people, most notably myself, make mistakes. And if I want forgiven, I have to forgive others when their mistake upsets me when it wasnt intended to do so.

So, I have Do-Overs. Yep. Undo a text. Put words back in your mouth. Send back the alcoholic drink you ordered for me (in recovery) I never heard you just say your ex in Tx was the best lover you ever had.

I hope this becomes a trend. relationships are hard enough without the pressure of always needing to be perfect in them. Now, malicious ignorance or indifference is NOT the same thing as a simple mistake. Assholes dont get Do Overs. They might sneak one or two out of me before I figure them out, but once discovered, they are awarded a Medal of Distinction...based on their personal lack of character....

List of things I have to take care of. I need to find the motivation to do it, but I am also feeling social tonight, so I am struggling between the two.

Like Wolfy, a jobbie job is on my mind.


You wanna go help run a goodwill?

They are hiring asst managers in austin..

Just saying... 20 percent discount...

[Random]

How things can change in a year..

The look on the face of a customers son, when I walked out to the loading area, in my blue/black/white print dress, white soxs, mary janes and helped his dad load a 54in NON flat screen into the back of the pickup truck.. Lol... *Now sir, what I want you to do is drop down between your knees, with your back straight, and on the count of three, lift straight up, using your legs* It took one min.. they had been out there for five, trying to figure out how to wedge one side up so the kid could get his hands under the tv.... grin... Never send a man to do a womans job...

How I wish this cough/cold would hurry up and be done with so I can love on my girl... I get hot and it starts a coughing fit... I miss her...

I wonder if my bonus is going to be worth all the time that I've been putting into work... What am I going to do if It's not...

A friend of ours is trying to sell us on Grand Junction as being the most perfect place to live... No humitity.. not a lot of snow/ice... not too hot.. water, mountains, trees, gay community... How funny it would be if we ended up back in Colorado.. we both lived there in our early twenties and liked it, but forgot about it...

I have to be back to work in 9 hours... I just got home...

I'm going to make today a joyful day even if it feels impossible right now. Sadness has a place but not at work. So that part of me needs to CHILL right now.

Positive attitude, fingers crossed, staying hopeful
I filled out another online application for auto parts
I find that all these online applications, whether in my field of expertise or not take a long time to complete

So far in the last week, I've done Wal Mart, Petco, Lowes and Advance Auto
because they are located in my town
I have a few more to aps to do online in this town before having to travel at least an hour in any direction for work

BFPers, I need your help!!!

I have to do a critical research paper for a class and I can choose any topic to defend. It has to be verifiable (I can find research and sources for my arguments and rebuttals).

My first choice is an argument for comprehensive sex education in our schools (citing studies I've read and can find again on low pregnancy and STD rates in countries that DO have comprehensive sex ed). A woman in class went on and on about how it's inappropriate to have sex ed in schools because it allows parents to be lazy and I just cannot allow that.

But, I saw the woman next to me writing her list of possible topics and one was why they shouldn't allow a mosque on Ground Zero. :| The errors in that statement from "mosque" to "ON Ground Zero" made me contemplate writing an argument for why the community center near Ground Zero is vital to upholding our Constitution and freedom ideals.

Or, I was also considering gay marriage or misogyny (the Misogyny thread inspired me).

Thoughts?

I'm leaning towards sex ed. It will make the very conservative class uncomfortable without actually starting a brawl. I'm worried the misogyny thing would go over their heads completely.

I am open for suggestions, too!!!!

[Gemme]

Water aerobics. That way, when you sweat, it will wash off nicely and you'll stay cool. :)

I had a difficult enough time decided my own topics for school, much less others'. :blink:

What do you feel the strongest pull toward? What would have plenty of data to back your argument up? What feels right? What could you talk into the ground without getting tired?

Good luck, no matter what you choose!

I work in very safe city. Not much crime here at all. Yet this week the property that I run was robbed at gunpoint. It was very scary for the two clerks involved, one of whom had the gun pointed at the back of his head as he was walked through the parking lot back inside. This, after he had been knocked to the ground and overpowered. Complete terror for what? $115.

The same guy has robbed five other places in the city but at knifepoint. This was the first time he used a gun. He cut another clerk in one of the robberies. Again for $112.

I just want to catch him on the street. The damage he has done for essentially nothing hardly seems worth it.

What is on my mind?
My Bridge To Nowhere...
http://www.travel-destination-pictures.com/data/media/69/akashi-kaikyo-bridge_1401.jpg

I know that may confuse some...
it holds personal meaning to me.

I once told someone about the symbolism a bridge holds for me...

what it means to stand in the middle of a bridge (during or after a personal struggle or hardship) and look to the other side...what did they see there? I was trying to tell them that there are positive, hopeful things waiting for them... Instead of being stranded, standing in the middle of that bridge, depressed, lost, hurt, and looking behind them at the past, or below them at reflections of ill feelings... "there is hope at the end of your bridge"...

Today, on my mind...
is my Bridge To Nowhere...

((((((Caleb)))))) I understand how this feels.

Not a day goes by when I don't want to call my Mom about something. Even if she was having a busy or bad day she always had time to talk or just listen. Even on the day she died she was struggling to function that morning when I called but still took a minute to listen.

My birthday is coming up next week and it is at this time that the pain of losing my Mom is especially crushing.

Finding interesting old news programs and enjoying them tremendously. One thing no one can deny is Clinton's intelligence and command of the spoken word (politics aside).

this evening, a message- "there's a warm wind blowing and the stars out. . . i'd really love to see you tonight". sent from a friend i've not seen since 1997. he once accused me after a visit [and my return home, loudly over multiple telephone messages], of stealing his New Order cd because he couldn't find it anywhere. i wasn't amused, but the last time he rang me up having found the CD.

The fact that tomorrow's Monday and therefore a workday for me. Also, that I will need to be up and out of bed in 6 hours, so I should really be in bed and not goofing off online...

[Soft*Silver]

I hate my junkie itch I get when I take my meds.

I am a big baby online when it comes to being sick. But in person, I am so afraid to ask for care. Here, I can feel free to pout and be inpatient and whine and sometimes even cry over being sick but in person, I have a stiff upper lip and I carry on, unless people literally take me to the couch and make me stop trying to pretend I am not.

I am so afraid that if I need care, no one will be there to want to give it to me

and this came out of it actually happening to me so the fear isnt unfounded. Its not that way anymore but you know, when you have experienced trauma, PTSD brings it around and around...

its my issue and I am working on it...

Took The Boy to get his Senior pics made this evening. I got all verclempt when they put the faux cap and gown on him. It is the same color as the one in his Kindergarten graduation. awwwwww I remember when his tumor was diagnosed, for many, MANY years I worried and made myself sick over 'how many years would I have with him'. I really, then in those dark years, didn't expect to see him here. I love him so much and am so greatful to have been so very wrong back then!

8 hankies
yeah...I'm just stressin' and yappin'...how can I stand being this attractive!

Wondering what this day hold for me at work...have been extremely busy the last few days. Drafted some very complicated pleadings. Today I get to continue the analysis of some discovery responses I began yesterday...

Been finding a lot of feathers lately - yesterday while walking the dog at lunch we found 44 and there was one by my car last night. 45 in the same day - mostly dove, pigeon, mockingbird and there was one sparrow feather...

When I left work last night there was another suffocating sadness hanging in the air. This time it was related to the daughter of the Chief of Police who was murdered and they were setting up for a candlelight vigil - the Concord Police Department is behind my office. Her father was on Good Morning America yesterday morning asking for help to find the suspect who was arrested later in the day in Niagra Falls, NY.

on my mind are things that I cannot deal with anymore.
things that make me angry, make me cry, make me drop my pride,
make me sick, and make my skin crawl.
and I'm disgusted that I am allowing these emotions to jade me again.
I really just want to snap my fingers and *poof*
just be gone.
:blues:

thinking that today may be a good day to run.
pack a bag, kiss my cats, slam the door,
an head up the mountain to my spot....
and do some writing, and soul searching.

Hey you, you have a buddy that would climb that mountain with you if there wasn't this distance thing. I could put pen in hand and write as well. Perhaps fishing in them there mountains, great stress release. Nothing to think about except the fresh air, quiet and how many fish you gonna catch.

I wish neither of us had so much on our minds. I know we have different things going on in our daily, but at least we've been an anchor for each other. When we can't see clearly ourselves, the other one can. You and SD have been a great help to my sometimes fragile state lately and I'm thankful to have ya'll in my life. I'll pass on some good advice someone once told me. Do not let yourself get defeated. You know you're a good person and so do many of us........

......In our journey remember, it's a reason, a season or a lifetime. As each person passes through your journey, you'll know what place they will share in your life.

BTW, today I do not have the fever or chills, I do still feel weak and have the aches..my legs are really wobbly:blink:I've taken a couple of days off from both my jobs, I don't like that, I don't like doing nothing all day.

Thanks to all of you sweet people. God bless you all:bouquet::gimmehug:

Having to ask someone to move out because it is not working for me to have her as a roommate. I feel bad that it isn't working and she is in a tough spot. It was a hasty decision that was not well thought out. Tomorrow will be better.

[Just_G]

Tonight, I am sitting on my deck, watching the dogs lay by my lounger, and catching the moon peeking at me between the clouds as they blow by. It is a breezy night, but it is so peaceful and I am loving it.

I think I need to move my recliner to the deck for the next few days! :winky:

[Kenna]

I'm wondering if I should open my own business....
a unique store for the LGBTQ Community where we carry all hard to find items, a specific line of clothing tailored to our Community's fashion needs/wants and/or help someone design and make what they need but can't find anywhere??

I was very disappointed with a shopping trip today.

[WolfyOne]

Well I just finished filling out another online application for auto parts. This time I did Auto Zone.
I'm still hopeful that I'll hear from someone I filled an application out with.

On the flip side, maybe the powers that be are telling me I need to take my ass out of Oklahoma and search elsewhere.

[Random]

where the heck did the morning go?

[WolfyOne]

My mind is filled with thoughts of kindness. Sometimes I feel depressed and defeated then I come into this community. The caring, sharing and love this community gives me is unmeasurable. It's not often that I tell anyone what goes on in my personal life. I'm one of those that wears my pain inside of me. However, I have a few friends here that know when something is bothering me even when I don't tell them. Anyhow, I have honestly been looking for work for a few months now and nothing seems to be coming my way. Just when I think it couldn't get any worse, I get an uplifting PM yesterday that made me realize how much others pay attention and really care about me. When I give up on myself, they don't give up on me. When I feel defeated, they don't let me stay down for long. I am blessed in more ways than I thought possible. Lately conversations I have at home make me feel like homeless could come at any time and I worry more about the cats than I do myself. Living with someone that used to be a partner makes for many uncomfortable days. I've gone from what was ours to what is hers now. I trusted someone 100% for the first time in my life and then life has a funny way of changing on you. Don't misunderstand me, I didn't lose her to another. I just wish what she has going on could be prolonged until I get on my feet. In fact, I wish her only good things for her future. I just know once I come into my own again I will never let myself give up any part of me to satisfy someone else's needs when it comes to being a stay at home and do it all kind of person.

Much thanks goes out to this community and those that I consider my family (ya'll know who you are).

[sylvie]

- that i am proud of myself, for small steps i've taken which feel like huge leaps..

- also proud of my two children, for listening & being so much more respectful ... it's something we've been working on for some time now, and with a lot of communication and some changes on all our part, it's wonderful!

life is good! :)

[WolfyOne]

Somehow, someone was listening to my prayers
I've been sent a guardian angel
All I have to do is reach out when I feel I must which has always been hard for me
Life is odd, I've gone from erratic to being able to breathe normal without fear
I think everything will fall in place, it's just a matter of time

wondering why i cant seem to figure out how to add a youtube video to the what im listening to post, i click youtube and the code comes in, i paste the code in between and then it just comes out as a long code rather than show the actual video like everyone else!

hi sylvie :)

This is how i do it:

when you're at youtube, copy the code (in the address bar at the top of the screen) after the = sign and and up to the & if there is one.

ex: htt.p://www..you.tube..com/watch?v=k69GW5DYu00

i would copy this part: k69GW5DYu00

In the thread, click on youtube at the top of the reply box and paste the code into that box.

Sometimes it's a little more complicated, but just kinda play around and you'll get it

ht.tp://www..youtube.com/watch?v=MiCCcOP3ay4&feature=channel

I'm both excited and nervous about next week, because it could be My first T shot on friday :D

[Soft*Silver]

now that I am feeling better and I am going to be able to go out into the real world again next week, I was checking out my "supplies"...make up, clothes, jewelry. I am in bad bad need of a hair cut. I get my hair cut 3 times a year...and I missed one! And my mascara is old and all my nail polishes are now gummy from age, and most of them are almost empty anyways. My jewelry is fine. I have certain pieces I love to wear ...like 5 of them. Yet I have 3 jewelry boxes! LOL.

Judging from how my body has shifted since I had my surgery, I am going to need all new bottom seperates. I couldnt wear anything that bound me even in the slightest around my waist because of how umcomfortable it was. So all my clothes were about a half a size or an entire size larger than i would normally have worn. Now I would need clothes at least a size smaller..if not 2 sizes. And in another month and a half, I am going to need at least 3 to 4 sizes smaller. Nothing...even my undies...wont fit.

Which is YAY! Good! But living on the budget I have...how am I going to do the immediate needs, let alone the near future ones?

smiling...what a sweet delimma this has caused. Not complaining at all even tho it is a real worry for me.

And once all my pain is gone, I cant wait to break open my box that has all my fancy bras and corsets! I havent been able to wear them for about 3, maybe even 4 years. The underwires and stayes (sp?) were tortureous on me before. Now I know why. But they wont be....::::warm joyful blushing smile:::::

Softness, I had a similar problem. It was suggested to me to check out a couple of Goodwill stores especially those near and in high end neighborhoods. Wow! Tops and sweaters for $3.79, jeans for $4.99...great prices. There were designer and high end mall brands and many in new or nearly new condition. There were items with the store tags still on them too. I got a nice collection of 4 tops for under $20.

Oh! There is a great High End thrift store a town up from me. Sax? Sacks? Something like that. I SO wanted to start a plus size thrift store. Still might one day...

I need to wait the two months before I buy anything for the body. My surgeon said what I had is close to bariatric surgery. He IS a bariatric surgeon in fact! He does Hiatal Hernias as a side thing. I looked in the mirror today and I have the tiniest waist I have had in years! And once I get in the pool and tone it, wow, I am going to LOVE wearing some "new" pretty clothes!

I am going tomorrow to get nail polish. It was that or the movies and I want nail polish! If I can splurge more, I will get some mascara. I would love some high end stuff but that can wait. I just need stuff now to tide me thru until I can return to work.

I am so loving this new me that is emerging!

Well, I have a temp job working a haunted house in town starting Oct 1. It's only Thur, Fri, Sat and weather permitting. I'm going to be the gatekeeper of The Asylum aka ticket taker, but I have no idea how to act like a crazy gatekeeper or what I should even wear. I figure at this point, money is money and should I find a full time job, this temp job won't get in the way, but if it did I'd know which one to toss aside.

So, if anyone reads this and has any ideas for me, I'd sure love to hear them.

It should be Doll, but we have a dry run rehearsal on Tuesday and a dress rehearsal on Wednesday. The guy in charge said I'll need a flashlight, but I still don't know how to act or what to dress like since I've never been in an Asylum, lol. What the heck am I going to say to people as I collect their tickets.......I could hear it now, gimme, it's mine, now go.

Rape camps in Congo

Giving girls a voice so we can start to change the narrative from patriarchy to something more equitable and healthy

The absolute perfection of a woman's body.

Sex trafficking in the US and the 100-200 thousand girls affected each year (averaging 12-14 years old).

The power of storytelling to transform an issue from an impersonal topic to a heartfelt problem with a face.

Women and the work we have ahead of us and how capable we are of transforming the entire world.

A zombie would probably be the easiest to come up with on what time you have left before you start. Just rat up you and some regular clothes to look like you have been buried for a few years. ( a mix of dirt, charcoal dust and some powder will come in handy.)
It's hard to tell some one how to be in character. I've done the gatekeeper job at a haunted house before. Have you ever heard the song "sweating bullets" by megadeath? I'm pretty good at that voice and added a Dr. Zhivago/mad scientist laugh. A cold, psycho, I know what you did, look in your eyes would help. And you could say things like, "welcome to your nightmare. *maniacal laugh*"
One thing I would like to tell you also, the people that will be in line, 85% of them will be full of liquid courage. They don't really pay much mind to the gatekeeper because they just want to get into the house before the courage starts to wear off. (just an fyi to keep in mind.)
I hope something of this helps. Have fun and be safe.

Ya know Mary Louise or whatever her name is who does the narration...(the one who killed herself in the very beginning)....Paul is her husband.
But around the second or third season he went to jail for killing that woman who is missing the two fingers. Only he didn't really kill her. She set it up to look like he did.
But they found out she is alive so now he's out of jail but she's in.

Whew!!!!

[JustJo]

How bizarre people can be...why does it seem like people who are nice, patient, and accomodating get ignored, used or treated like doormats?

Not just in personal relationships. I've been working to get this house deal done for months, and been ignored while people took their sweet time and occasionally blew smoke at me. Last night I'd had enough with pretty much everyone, and sent one of those bitchy 1 am emails telling everyone I was fed up and if they didn't pull their heads out then I'd take my business elsewhere.

Suddenly, we have a signed contract.

That's great.

But why did I have to be a raving bitch to get anyone moving? :seeingstars:

[Soft*Silver]

i went out to eat with my sister to a mideastern restaurant that I love. I could barely eat but I brought the rest home. We went to target and I did get my nail polishes and an eyeshadow too. But I collapsed in Target, couldnt get air in my lungs and they thought I needed an ambulance but my sister helped and after sitting in their snack area, I was able to get to the car and now I am on my couch and am feeling exhausted. From gardening to eating out to Target was just too much for me...

How sad. :(

It took awhile, but I decided I had to go over and knock.
I told her I was here if she needed to talk or just sit somewhere.

She just kept apologizing for yelling, and I kept saying it's ok, that's not why I am here; I just want to make sure you are ok. She has nobody. I remember that feeling when I was a teenager, but her story sounds far worse than anything I went through.

[AtLast]

Had a long phone convo with my sister this morning. She was getting ready to bring her husband of over 40 years to see his Alzheimer's specialist. She was more stressed than usual- that tight, deep stress of on-going care-giving for someone you love deeply. I could hear the grief of what was and is now and what will be coming soon in her voice. Profound sadness and some fear. Wisps of nostaligic memories of things they used to do together. The pain I hear in her voice sometimes just breaks my heart to pieces- more of a shatter. My adult niece and nephews are visiting her and her husband more often now and helping out- that's good. The Grandkids stop by fairly often, too. I know they are having a tough time with his decline. He is their step father/Grandpa and they certainly had a much better father/Grandpa in him than their biological father/Grandpa.

I guess I mostly feel helpless about all of this...

Wow. Tomorrow is October 1st, where did the month of September go?





Where did the whole damn summer go??? :|

[jenny]

A blast from the past... I think...

[Pixie]

What my dreams are gonna be tonight...
motorcycles, boots, and roadtrips

[Tcountry]

Happily distracted at work...

[JustBeingMe]

Wondering if I am ever going to get my life back and in order. I have so many things to do to get that far. UGH.

[StillettoDoll]

Its October! and i love orange.

[Gemme]

I can't wait to bite into the yummy pepperjack grilled cheese sandwiches and red grapes I'm having for lunch. :tease:

[Penelope]

You know you are lonely when characters in books seem like they could be friends. :watereyes:

[Kobi]

Was having a discussion with someone about the historical lesbian recruitment toaster oven award.

Isnt it time we upgraded to a microwave or a cuisinart? Maybe an iphone or a tablet? A segway personal scooter might be nice too.

[Semantics]

I'm done with work for the day and can't decide if I should curl up with a book and some tea or go to a movie.


Decisions, decisions.

Decisions, decisions.

Why limit yourself? I vote for both!

[atomiczombie]

What's on my mind – a girl, and possibilities. *sigh*

[Strappie]

Got off work early, went to Ikea spent a few hours roaming around bought a few things. Now trying to decide if I should take a nap before I go to a friends house for a bonfire and then out...

hmmm What shall I do??? lol

[Rockinonahigh]

Im siting hear watching my puggie,who feels awfull after being spayed today,the vet says she will be ok in a couple of days I just wish he had given her some pain meds for just a day or two.I had it done cause it was for the best..but dam she looks miserable.

[~Bo]

I'm watching TEACH.....Tona Danza. It's pretty good. But then I really like Tony.

[dixie]

Sometimes I can be very eloquent and get my point across smoothly, and sometimes it just seems like i can never say or do the right thing... :(

[Oiler41]

Thinking about how much I'm going to miss my lovely bride next week while I'm gone on a business trip all week. I'm sure the fur kids will take good care of her while I'm gone.

[Soft*Silver]

AA was right when they told me "this too shall pass"....

[Niceguy]

Now, I really like you, T, so I'm gonna let this slide, especially since the refs made that bad call in favor of Arkansas and they still lost


I didn't see a bad call, but then again, I was a little distracted during parts of the game. I think our Quarterback throwing the ball right to an Alabama player (more than once) in the fourth quarter was the reason Alabama won! :shocking:

Yeah, that was kinda nice of them, wasn't it?

*cheeky*

Right now, however, I'd kill for some sleep.

[Miss Scarlett]

We handle some Adult Protective Services cases. Right before I left the office this evening I had a call from the social worker on one of our current cases. The individual in need of protection in that case died today. All I can think about the horror this elderly person knew in the last year of their life. The abuse and neglect at the hands of the nursing home (and neglect by relatives) was some of the worst I have ever seen and it just breaks my heart that this elderly person's last days were spent in such a condition.

[Soft*Silver]

my small but elegant collection of aprons...

[moxie]

my lack of patience with some things.

[MsTinkerbelly]

Last Monday Los Angeles hit a record high of 113 degrees....today is was 64 degrees. Forty-nine degrees less in one week.:seeingstars:

I've had a 40 point temperature drop in the same day before. It really messes with your system.

[Leigh]

I'm very happy because I went for an interview and got hired for a new job that I begin tomorrow :)

While I'm excited, I'm really hoping that things go well

[dixie]

~missing her
~the great weekend we had with the boys
~our goals
~our future

[JakeTulane]

Her laughter, the tears, the smiles all were had when she opened the "box of love" I sent to her. Having it arrive at just the right time, when she needed that "love" the most.

It just does not get any better than that.

:king: (f) :princess:

[Miss Scarlett]

Really missing my Mom right now. Today would have been Mom & Dad's 53rd wedding anniversary.

Also, I wish I could talk with her about the elderly respondent in one of our DSS/APS cases who passed away yesterday. That haunted me all night - made it hard to sleep and when I did finally fall asleep I dreamed about what this person went through.

[Miss Scarlett]

Wondering how my boss's cat is doing today...did he make it through the night? Were they able to figure out what is wrong? (I never knew there was such a thing as a feline neurologist.)

A couple of years ago my boss had a house fire - she lost nearly everything, including her beloved bird. Several of her animals, mostly the cats, had smoke inhalation - the cat in question almost didn't make it. He has had numerous medical problems, including seizures, ever since. The other night he either had a seizure or a stroke - we don't know.

He is her oldest (10 years) and favorite cat. I hope they can do something for him.

[Tcountry]

Hoping my next 4 off goes well...safe trip to Houtson...& everyone I am hanging with can keep it in check *eyeing you*

[Gemme]

In no particular order I am thinking about:

rearranging the furniture
whether the ton of resumes I sent out yesterday will catch someone's eye
what my honey's making for brunch
watching the last episode of Glee
Sunday's festivities
attempting to conquer the laundry beast
finding a salon near here that uses Redkin products

[MsTinkerbelly]

Tonight begins our 2 week vacation to Europe! Pictures to be posted on our Facebook pages.....:tea:

[Apocalipstic]

My throat is some and I know I am getting sick and I have a yard sale to get ready for.

[Soon]

a friend's happiness

[Scorp]

The weekend is here and Ikea Cinnamon buns!!!

[Pixie]

A sexy sleeping stud
those stunning pictures

My sissy outta town
you here soon

Twin coming to town
the contents of your suitcase...

[Blade]

wondering why someone has the intelligence to hack into the card serves of a large company, causing thousands of people grief with their checking account......wondering why this person isn't using their energy to make the world better instead of causing such aggadamnvation...........Aldi should have been on top of this sooner also

[Lillie]

:chocolate: simply :chocolate: that is all

[firie]

Erzebet Bathory!

[Tcountry]

Behave......

[Gemme]

Some things coming to light and that I'm going to have to change my plans soon.

Update on the boss's cat - nothing neurological but they think there may be cancer. His spleen is enlarged and there is something funky with his kidneys. They were going to aspirate yesterday afternoon/evening. The boss left early to visit him. I am holding my breath and sending as much postive energy and healing light and love to her and her little baby.

FYI for my fellow Carolinians - It seems that in here in Charlotte (and other NC locations) there is a $pecialty veterinary hospital/clinic. Nice to know but I hope I never have to see the inside of the place. http://www.carolinavet.com/index.html

what are you healing from? are you trying to find forgiveness towards yourself or towards others? its a long hard road sylvie but once you get there you will know it. Good luck on your journey.

waking up in the morning to a smokeless future :|

[waxnrope]

My friend, whom I've known since teens has sepsis and pneumonia. The pneumonia isn't clearing well. There are nodules in her lungs that are probably from rheumatoid arthritis. They obscure the x-ray. She will have bronchoscopy tomorrow, and plan to do savage, a washing out of cells. Oh God, this sounds so suspicious of cancer. Her daughter called me. Calls each day. I told her my fear. She was thinking the same thing.

I feel like I did in May, when I waited to finally hear of my sister's cancer. It is hard to breathe. But when I can do so deeply, I will go outside, stand in the middle of the street and scream. Yell to the universe., to G-d, to that Great Nothingness, "No can't have them yet. I won't let you. No."

[Massive]

Why do so many shit things happen to the good people in our lives?

[EnderD_503]

How I wish it wasn't so impossible for me to share something of myself, to both love and hate the same thing in myself, and to not feel so trapped inside certain aspects of myself. Or perhaps I'm just growing tired of myself in general.

[ravfem]

A special SuperDork is on my mind.
It's been a rough day all around for him.
He needs hugs, kisses & capn crunch.

Oh and a face rub.

:gimmehug::ohm::lips:

Thuddy.

for starters.

[pajama]

The same thing that's been on my mind for a couple of weeks. The job market in Asheville. It doesn't look too impressive right now. Hoping if I keep an eye on it between now and next summer, surely something in my field that pays enough to support us will come up. :vigil: I just also need the timing to work out too. 'Cause The Boy has to finish school.

[katsarecool]

Asheville is an awesome city and I would give almost anything to move there!!! Good luck with your job search!

[JustBeingMe]

I don't think there's enough room on the site for me to list everything that's running around in my head this week. :blink:

[LipstickLola]

wanting to play, instead of work. that's what's on my mind :o

[Scorp]

Nude paintings....
