What is on your mind

[MsTinkerbelly]

I'm curious as to why I'm smelling such odd things today...

I just made salmon and now I smell hot dogs...for no apparent reason I smell French toast in another room.

No I'm not hungry. I'm not crazy about hot dogs. But yes I love French toast. Idk...

I began smelling car exhaust all around me...even in my house! I looked it up, and found out it was a B6 vitamin deficiency. I have to take the vitamin every day, but the smell is gone!

Thanks so much for this knowledge. I worried about a brain tumor since odd smells can be a sytmptom. But I had a cat scan 2 years ago when I had my accident and it was not a tumor. So I will try some B6 :)

Over a year and a half ago I made a promise to myself that I would start travelling... even if it meant going alone. In 2015 I climbed Mt. Washington, and in 2016 I took two vacations and hiked through Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, Sedona, and the Grand Canyon, by myself. I absolutely loved it. I met so many amazing people, hiked through areas most don't know about because of the fantastic people I met, and learned that I really do enjoy being alone. I had absolutely no fear or trepidation.

What's on my mind now is New Zealand. I have decided that I am going to go there for 2 weeks in January, 2018 (great weather then) with just a backpack and a list of places I want to see. I plan on not tying myself down with hotel reservations and just keeping a list of hostels and hotels in the areas I want to visit. I want to be free to go wherever, whenever. I am so excited to do this.

Now to figure out where I would like to go this year. :)

[Medusa]

EEEEKK!!

Got up this morning yawning and completely exhausted from the long drive yesterday and discovered I'm out of my favorite coffee creamer. And I really don't want to go to work! And it's cold!
BUT
BUT
BBUUTT...
I'm all sparkly and glittery with happy feelings and plans and all manner of bouncy things in my head and I just want this day to go fast so I can get home and start working down my list.
WEEE!

Finally, I started writing again. It's just 8 lines, but it may be the beginning of something beautiful and it was a very old song that got me thinking...stay tuned :)

[cinnamongrrl]

My phone has finally accepted my excessive use of the F word...

When I first got my phone, it substituted "duck" a lot.

This morning I was messaging my mom about trump and actually misspelled fucking..and my phone gave me the correct spelling.

My phone accepts me.:praying:

[Stud_puppy1991]

A lot actually. My brother is dying in less than a year, some friends of mine lost their house in fire, and then, just a bunch of stuff. It's not very good in my head

I'm on a conference all and am currently wondering what would happen if I just started shrieking "OMG!! I WANT CAAAAAKKKEEEEEE!!!"

[JDeere]

Payday next week. Lol. I need to get my truck up to code before I get any tickets.

[Chad]

I really like working out! I am so happy when I work out.

The year of the rooster (http://www.chinahighlights.com/travelguide/chinese-zodiac/rooster.htm).

[easygoingfemme]

I can't decide what to do today. Options are:

Go to the lesbian bowling meetup that I planned on.
Go to the postcard writing party that's about 1 1/2 hour drive from here.
Go to the vigil at the airport that's a half hour from me.

I want to do it all and obviously I can't. I do spend 40-50 hours a week working solidly in social justice (Hands on direct care for women in need of safe space- including refugees) and am spending Monday lobbying. So I shouldn't feel too guilty if I take today off from political activism and just go bowl, right?

[easygoingfemme]

Nah, decided I'm going postcarding. Now to pillage my house for supplies and get on the road.

[JDeere]

My family right now, my uncle passed away late last night, he was only 78.

I'll keep Beethoven and Usain Bolt and the Dalai Lama but am happy to give back Tom Cruise and Joseph Stalin.

I wish more chosen family was closer to me. There's a lot to do and explore and fun day trip kind of things to do here but there's only a very few things that I want to do on my own. I want my peoples! Friends make everything better.

[easygoingfemme]

I'm sorry to hear that JD. My thoughts are with you and your family.

My choice to postcard was most certainly the right choice. The gathering was held in a big barn in Poughkeepsie. About 150-200 folks came? Mostly women spanning late teens to in their 70s-80s. I sat next to a woman celebrating her 72nd birthday today so I made her a card while we were making postcards. There were women with young babies nursing, toddlers and youngsters playing around, dogs weaving in and out, and a lot of good conversations. They had us set up to mostly send postcards to officials we are fighting against but I also added to our list to send thank you notes to Elizabeth Warren and others who are on our side and fighting hard. I also wrote to Kellyanne Conway and requested a personal meeting with Trump for a small group of women. Ha.

[cinnamongrrl]

We're getting snow again...

I just hope the housekeeper can get here in the morning so I can go home.

[cinnamongrrl]

Ever wish something different would happen?

I do. All the time. I attribute it to the restless, nomadic nature of a Sagittarius.

I seek roots then I rebel against them...I'm a walking conundrum.

Maybe I just feel caught in a rut. Maybe I'm just scared because things in my life have achieved some level of homeostasis. Maybe it's winter blues. I don't know. I just feel like I'm waiting for something yo HAPPEN. Maybe it's just time for me to make something happen.

On my mind:

Bella's surgery. I'm a little freaked out for her but I know it will be fine. Her vet is amazing and I've worked with him for almost 8 years so I trust the process. Just a little bit EEK-Y about dropping her off and waiting.

Love that fur blur like crazy. <3

[bright_arrow]

We lost both of my dad's parents within a month, right after Thanksgiving. I miss them.

I'm tired of working full-time and going to school full-time and lining up doctor appointments. I am starting to forget how it is to have down time that isn't just on the weekends because those go by too fast and I just want to sleep.

Already ready for this semester to be over so I can have summer break and breathe before jumping into multiple math classes.

Just going to remind myself all this stress will be over soon, and worth it. One day at a time. Ommmmm.

I think I need some mothafuckin' yoga, yanno?

[VintageFemme]

Monkey mind ... that 'one' you know who you don't want to want but you want her to want you but she doesn't but you don't stop wanting her still, y'know? LoL And, all the new photoshoots I've been on recently and the lack of time to clean up the pictures for my clients and when am I going to be able to quit my day job so I can do this gig full time. And, planning for my vacation to Assateague Island end of April and how excited I am that I'm counting days - 83 as of today. And, that I overspent a wee bit today shopping but justified it to myself as birthday gifts to me since I have to spoil myself you know being freaking single and all! Oy LoL but I did get some lovely new things today and for a few moments, they made me very happy. And, then it all circles back around to why doesn't she want me and I decide I need a klonopin and a warm bath. I'm exhausted thinking about what is on my mind.

[candy_coated_bitch]

Not being able to sleep. Again.

There is an Executive Director's position open at a local non-profit. I have been interested but lost my resume years ago and never made a new one since I have been at my work for over 10 years. The idea of creating one myself has been daunting so I haven't thought much about the open position. My son had a woman who owns a resume building company do a presentation in his class today. He gave me her card. I checked and the ED position is still open. I just emailed the the owner of the resume business. I am going after that damn job!! Excited!

On the morning of Friday, February 10, 2017, the non-profit American Eagle Foundation removed one of two eaglets residing inside a wild nest in Northeast Florida due to a problem with one of its legs.

This eaglet, known as ‘Peace,’ along with its sibling ‘Hope’ and parents ‘Romeo’ & ‘Juliet,’ are the stars of the Northeast Florida (NEFL) Eagle Cam. Their daily activities are live-streamed 24/7 via two high-definition video cameras on www.nefleaglecam.org.

On February 6, 2017, AEF Nest Cam Volunteers alerted AEF officials about noticeable balance problems that this 7-week-old eaglet was having due a possible injury to its right leg. After closely monitoring the eaglet for hours, we noticed black monofilament (commonly used for fishing) wrapped around the left foot, including the hallux.

The AEF immediately began talking to USFWS and making plans to rescue Peace in order to remove the fishing line from the eaglets foot.

Shortly after this discovery, however, the female parent, Juliet, appeared to be pulling and tugging on a clump of moss while going after a piece of food, and it is believed that the parent had removed the line from the eaglet’s foot, because the line was no longer noticeable.

Cam viewers coast to coast were beyond excited that the problem seemed to have been resolved by the parent without the need for human intervention.

On the night of February 7, a storm rolled through the area and caused a power outage for almost 24 hours and electricity to the cams was halted. When the electricity was restored on February 8, it was immediately noticed that Peace was still having significant balance issues and problems with the right leg when trying to walk.

Although the monofilament was gone, a decision was made on the evening of February 8 to continue plans for the rescue, this time with the intention of checking the eaglet for injuries or other potential problems that might be treatable.

On February 10th, AEF President Al Cecere, two professional tree climbers hired by the AEF , and several AEF volunteers, including Gretchen and John Butler, met at the nest site to plan and execute the removal of the eaglet from the nest. The entire process went smoothly. Peace was safely brought to the ground and Hope remained safe and sound in the nest.

Upon initial inspection at the nest site by a local Vet Tech from the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey and AEF President Al Cecere, the eaglet did not appear to have any apparent injuries. The eaglet was transferred to Winter Park Veterinary Clinic by AEF representatives for radiographs, blood tests and a physical checkup by a Veterinarian and thereafter to the Audubon Center For Birds Of Prey in Maitland, FL, for further care, treatment and blood testing, where the eaglet will stay until it has fully recovered.

Several additional blood tests are being processed and as soon as the results are in, a plan will be made to treat and/or return Peace to its nest.

-------------------

Today, the little bugger is improving but they are still monitoring the leg injury. Hopefully, in time, it will be renested.

Getting a dog.

It's been too long since I've had one and I think I'm ready again. I like little black girl dogs that weigh around 20 pounds. I like terrier or terrier mix breeds, but I'll take whatever I can connect with at the humane society. I'll need to think on it for a few months and will probably start looking this summer.

Peace is doing a bit better with eating and ground perching. He still has a balance problem and they are trying to rule out a neurological problem.

Today Jeanne Buss, owner of the Los Angeles Lakers (aka The fLakers by a hater like me), cleaned house and put Earvin "Magic" Johnson in charge.

Ms. Buss fired three people who each had been with the organization for 25 years and told Earvin to work some "magic" as President of Operations. I don't think he can do it, but it will be fun watching him try.

it was! The job I left in NOLA was a good job but it was OMG so stressful. From the moment i started there a few years ago. STRESS. Our management team was not functioning as a team and I hated it. They had a couple of perks, and i loved what i did, but the stress was making me physically ILL.

This company is in a cool old renovated warehouse in the historical district of town. Its up to date and pleasing to be in. The staff is young and the energy is nice and helpful. They had my office all laid out and made me feel at home.

AND i got the key code to the restroom!

Good News... Peace is progressing into the flight cage at Audubon on Friday. They have constructed an elevated nest platform lined with natural, similar nest material he was used to.

They will continue to feed Peace three times a day disguised behind a black curtain.

There is one mature male eagle in the flight that is non-flighted who will act as a mentor for Peace. This eagle will encourage Peace and create a sense of normalcy as Peace observes him.

Audubon knew something was wrong with Peace, but they do not have a specific diagnosis. The reason for his imbalance may never be known, but it is improving. This step transferring Peace into the flight is very reassuring and a positive step forward.

He will remain there and take flight when he's ready. We look forward to his release in the nest area when Audubon declares him ready.

------------------------


He wont be able to be renested before the end of nesting season but at least they are seeming confident he will be able to be released back into the wild at some point.

I know you like the eagles and such, have you heard about the ones in Webster, Texas who are awaiting on eggs to hatch? A couple has set up a webcam for the world to watch, if I can get the link I will post it.

Cool. If you can find the link, I'd love to take a look.

Eagles are eagles but parenting strategies show subtle differences from nest to nest, depending on conditions, the number of eaglets, how plentiful the food sources are etc. It is fascinating to watch.

Peace's sibling is getting a lil tough love now that they are alone in the nest.
There is no sibling there to teach them how to mantle or protect food or how to steal/ fight for food. The eaglette was used to Momma bringing food and feeding them. Now Momma has to make the feedings something they "fight" for so they will learn how to manage in the wild.

There is a video of the first time the mother did this. The look on the eaglettes face, their confusion and subsequent temper tantrum (biting moms feet) is precious. They are getting plenty to eat, they just have to work for it a bit now.

work...so, hanging out on here until my client is due...love Saturdays...saw a photo of a painting that I found interesting...thinking of someone who I am drawn to...but alas she is too young for me, love femmes in my own generation...but she is beautiful, indeed. Alright, enough...Greco

[Greco]

hanging out on this Sunday...and yes, thinking about the woman, in her forties, that
I mentioned yesterday was too young for me...

so, what's the big deal? Well, talking to myself here, listening
to my decision making process...I mentioned yesterday that
I enjoy meeting/dating femmes in my generation, in real-time,
so someone in their forties while can be a friend, do not
include them in intimate relating/dating...also, she works with me...another
decision I made early on in my life, not to get involved with women
I work with...why am I going on and on about this?...well, today
I'm procrastinating finishing a "work"...don't want its process to end...silly I know...but just
will ride it out by posting and listening to relaxing music.

Sometimes, its not about doing for me...it is simply about being.
So that is what is on my mind.

Florida Audubon (http://www.acfbop.org/)

The camera's in Peace's temporary home are active at the above link. He and his mentor Bob are having a quiet day at the moment but Peace tends to follow Bob wherever he goes. Eagles can be very social except when it comes to food or protecting their young.

Both Peace and his sibling Hope are due to begin fledging or flying. They are both considered “branchers” at this age because they are very actively flapping and jumping around on the nest and nearby branches.

It is extremely dangerous for us to return an eaglet at this age back into his nest because the sibling would surely jump and could get injured.

“Peace” will be released at his nest area as soon as he can fly.

My next trip. Don't know where I'm going. I had been saving up for a jazz festival in Panama or South Africa, but I ain't leaving the country because they may not let me back in.

I haven't been to San Francisco nor Seattle. Maybe I'll take a train north this summer.

:bow:

[Gemme]

I haven't been to San Francisco nor Seattle. Maybe I'll take a train north this summer.

:bow:

I've been to both and they have many, many good points to each. If you go to San Francisco, definitely take a trolley ride. If you are driving, you might want to avoid Vermont or Lombard Street as they are very tight and crooked. Pretty area, though. Maybe Alcatraz? Odd note: the most polite homeless person I've ever met was on a street in San Francisco.

If you go to Seattle, definitely go down to the pier. There's a fantastic seafood restaurant called Anthony's there. That's where I had the BEST salmon I've ever had. And they have a killer 3 way crème brule too.

Also, go to Pike Place Market. Wear comfy shoes as it's huge and good for a half day of walking around and window shopping, easy. Also, they are having a grand opening for a new marketfront in June of this year. That would be a good time to go. If you like aquariums, they also have a small one just down the road from Anthony's. Within walking distance. If you use a parking lot meter, be careful. They are tricky there!

Hmm...this is under the section for "fluffy" and "humor" but what is on my mind is neither....

The Surgeon called last night with yet more bad news about Mom. Yes. She is coming home today. No. She has not been told the news. When we told my Father he cried (3rd time I ever saw him cry in my 50 year lifespan).

So what did the doctor say? Infection present in hip even without growing culture for 2 days. Another surgery probably imminent. As for her lumbar mri? Many things....spinal Stenosis is definitely narrowing onto her spinal cord and would cause pain. However it would be both legs and she is complaining of only pain in one. Secondly, a shift in vertebraes in her spine at L3/L4. Nerves are compressed. At same region little tumors in blood vessels that are always benign so no use messing with them. Biopsies usually not done on them because they bleed horribly and are not a threat. Finally, a thickening of her uterus to 11 mm. This problem is being deferred back to her PCP.

So as I type it out now the pain has hit me as it had Dad last night. I think of telling my brother last night and him saying, "well, Paul, she is 91 years old." At the time, I thought "you heartless @$$%*(# It is our Mother!!" However, I must admit I have questioned why they cannot just sever her spinal cord leaving her paralyzed from waist down to just be humane. Ugh!! Too much is on my mind....and not "fluffy" or "humor". *frowns* please send out to God or the Universe positivity for my Mom. She may be 91 but this world will definitely be worse without her and my Father. They are very rare specimens in today's world....

Peace might still be learning the ropes but his younger sibling, Hope, took to flight this am. It is the first time I have seen a fledge from the nest bed. Usually they climb up a tree branch as far as they can and fly from there.

She has been sitting in a nearby tree for 2.5 hours now. Mom and Dad have tried to get her back with food but she is staying put for the time being.

The real challenge for a fledgling is not flying per se but landing, especially back in the nest. Hunger will bring her back eventually....hopefully right side up.

Fledging, for us eagle fanatics, is both a time of joy - for the eaglet to do what it is supposed to do, and sadness knowing they will soon be gone forever.

I love the fact that he is home with me now because I get to really see who he is, hear what he thinks, and see how he views the world and all that is going on. I am proud of him. I am excited to see where he is going too. He's a great guy.

that our new POTUS is an ass and that he is truly mentally ill and that the whole world knows it except for those who voted him in. It is SO obvious yet those (and some of those have jumped ship too!) who voted for him, will defend him no matter what he does.

Obama bugged him during the election? Seriously? How friggin paranoid is that? And divisive! Oh lord its going to be a tough 4 years...

[Kobi]

The eaglet, Hope, who fledged on the 2nd has not yet returned to the nest. Granted the winds have been horrible in the area the last 2 days and the rain yesterday may have made her stay put.

What is concerning is that the ground crew has not been able to spot her either since the twilight of the 2nd. Parents continue to bring and leave food in the nest bed (which is being eaten and taken by some wandering by juvenile eagle).

One hopes she found some friends to hang with and is just exploring her freedom. Her tummy and crop should be empty soon and this might bring her back home.

Watching an empty nest is sad.

In the meantime, her sibling, Peace, is rehabbing well. He is now doing short flights and is really good at getting out of the flight path of his pal Bob. Bob is an adult male with a wing injury who can only fly close to the ground and at unpredictable angles. Peace likes his "bath tub" which is part bath, part drinking fountain, and part fishing hole. Kind of surprised himself when he actually caught a fish the other day.

The eaglet, Hope, resurfaced today, 8 days after she fledged. She tried to follow Dad into the nest - he was toting a huge fish for lunch - but backed off.
Landing is tricky for new flyers. Maye next time she will have more confidence.

Just good news that she is still in the area and the parents are still feeding her - even if they have to go searching for her to do so.

My thoughts about the church and my lifestyle.

[MsTinkerbelly]

My thoughts about the church and my lifestyle.

I've pondered this as well, because "religion and Christians" in particular, can turn a person far away from God.

Jesus said many things..." let he who is without sin cast the first stone", and he led by example dinning with the prostitute and the tax collector, and bathing the feet of his disciples.

But I still believe the most important, the one that seems to be forgotten by the many, is this that He proclaimed as the things most important to Him.

1. Love the Lord thy God above all others.

2. Love thy neighbor as thyself.

In the end, what matters to God is how we show love by our interactions with others.

Blessings

Btw...I struggle with the love thy neighbor part every day! Lololol

On my mind is...
I had terrible dreams last night. Not of the nightmare variety, more heartbreaking than anything. I would wake up and start right back where I left off as soon as I was asleep. It was quite a painful experience emotionally.

I hope tonight's 'sleep movie' is a comedy! ;)

[Kobi]

The eaglet, Peace, will be released from rehab today. He will be freed in the vicinity of the nest.

He may or may not find his way home. He may or may not find his family. He may or may not be welcomed back.

Such is the life of an eaglet. Less than 50% of eaglets survive their first year. One can only hope he will defy the odds.

Godspeed lil buddy.

Annoyed with myself.

Few nights ago, I made another pot of that stew that I do not have a name for. From this point on, it is Blazing Saddles stew.

It is the one I made up on the fly ... it contains hamburger meat, can of pork and beans, French's worstershire sauce, onion, bell pepper, ketchup and bbq sauce.

Anyway, I have grown to love it. Tonight after I fed Jennifer and Kevie, I nuked a large bowl of it. At that time, I noticed there would only be enough left for breakfast in the morning.

Damn, at midnight, I woke up, got up and ate all of what was left.

Now I feel down because I was looking so forward to having it for breakfast.

This is a perfect example of why I cannot make my lunch to take to work on the night before. :(

Being an executor of an estate is not for the faint of heart. Even when things were well written, equally proportioned, and appeared to be a simple...it is not.

For 2 days now, I have been watching a juvenile bird of prey (either an osprey or a hawk - cant see that far) having a breakfast of squirrel on the roof of my neighbors SUV.

Hawks tend to favor our parking lot for the abundance of chipmunks. That is just nature. Have never seen them go after squirrels but food is food.

The worrisome part is choosing to eat and store half eaten food on the roof of a vehicle. Nature is nature until nature collides with human interests.

I'm hoping this was just an opportunistic thing and doesn't become a territorial thing.

This has not been an easy eaglet season.

Now one of the 3ish week old eaglets in the Washington DC nest has a leg which appears to be caught in the branches of the nest. Lil bugger is struggling to dislodge itself and seems to be tiring after hours of struggling.

Momma is hovering right next to it but cannot seem to assist.

A rescue in this situation is complicated. By law, humans cannot interfere in a wild nest unless there is an actual or suspected human cause for the problem.

I dont envy the people who have to make the decision. FB folk are already up in arms that nothing is being done or done fast enough.

Even if they can find a way to justify a rescue, they still need permission from a few government agencies to do so. And, then, if it is a go, they are going to have to contend with a very protective Momma.

Gonna be a long evening.

My mind has been pondering how people with a history of being victimized in abusive relationships in the past can establish ways of acting that perpetuate abuse in future relationships. They become so used to the pattern that they willingly go to those behaviors when with a new person. This also leads me to believe that chances are the new partner will be abusive too. This was all sparked by a friend I went to undergrad with who is now doing crisis work related to domestic abuse...

I have been abused and I did look for that in other people. I really believe the only thing that "saved" me was my last abusive ex. I made the decision that I wasn't going to allow someone to do that to me again. It took A LOT of work on myself and a few years but I was finally able to stop the cycle.

It is hard because people are drawn to what they know. To break out of the cycle is uncomfortable and scary because it is, in most ways, unknown territory.

One good thing is that it doesn't stay uncomfortable and soon you realize that it is much better than the old ways.

That I think we have the responsibility to be ourselves. One of My friends asked Me what I thought of Barry Manilow coming out so late in life. I first responded- well everyone does it when it "feels right" to them. But, then I followed that up with- we also have a certain responsibility to be visible. To make things a little easier on the next generation as those before us did for us. There are too many young people getting bullied and committing suicide because they are so afraid to come out- or if they do they are bullied back into the closet.

I think that in being visible we help them with their choice. To be their true selves. Especially when someone is famous and have that seriously visible platform. I also realize that not everyone can do that- meaning being visible for whatever reason and I can respect that.

However, I think those that can- should.

There have been so many parties in this house for every occasion and for no occasion at all. My family and friends have spent many weekends here. There is love, happiness, and great memories in this house.

This house is my home and my refuge from the world. I love this house.

I have loved someone with all my heart since the first time she and I talked 7 years ago. It wasn't even love at first sight but love at first words. She still makes my stomach do the flips. We both have had relationships since then but no one compares for either one of us. What's even crazier is we have not yet met.
That is where the title comes in, I regret not suiting up and showing up when I should have.
Trust me this time that I will get to you no matter what. Don't disappear on me please.
We can do this right this time.

That life is feeling pretty overwhelming right now....

Lost a very close friend to cancer & have taken on the role of taking care of her 7 children for a bit whilst her hubby can gather himself & get back in the saddle of life ......

It has me feeling mentally & physically exhausted, I wouldn't change it but phew 7 children? Puts the cray in crazy......

[Gemme]

That I've been up for 4 hours already and the day hasn't actually begun for me yet.

[Medusa]

Listening to my "Witching Hour" mix on Spotify and thinking about what all I have on my plate for the next several weeks.

Feeling optimistic and happy while also wanting it to hurry, hurry.

[clay]

My incredible heart with its penchance to love freely & gently & fiercely & unabashed.

How much I love my chosen family here....and this beautiful site....brings me greatest of comfort & joys!

Reality.

Vacation is almost over and soon I will be back to working hard for the environment.

It is a good reminder to live in reality.

[Chad]

I am thinking about next year's vacation. I want to see more nature so maybe upstate NY and Maine.

I feel bad about excluding the west cost but most of my dear friends are located northeast.

I need more time off, more money, and more friends in the west. Haha!

:carride: :flying:

[VintageFemme]

When I moved to my new fabulous spot recently, two months ago recently, the movers made a mess of the entire ordeal. It was the worse move of my life really. Aside from broken everything to intimidation to over charged, they hooked up my washer hoses backwards. I am not very mechanically inclined nor did I think I cared that much but I do damnit and I want my hot and cold water where they should be so, putting on my butch hat and boots LoL I'm going to fix that fucker myself. I'm on my way out there to climb all over that washing machine and I'm not coming out till it's put right. Stupid stupid boys.

Again, what am I.. chopped liver?

[2qt]

That a death of someone can really bring out the ugly of people.... I'm feeling feeling confused, frustrated & frankly seriously concerned because when you're a parent, you're responsible for the lives you create...You don't just suddenly stop being a parent because life has slapped you in the face...There is no excuses you just do what needs to be done, you pick yourself up & you be there for your children that desperately need a solid figure in their lives... Saddened by everything that surrounds me at the moment & not really sure how to help the situation... :praying:

Well then, Photobucket no longer allows linking to images with a free account. Ok fine. Giphy does.

Aaaaaand, I can't untwist the hoses. They're twisted on with the jaws of death I think. *sighs*

The guys that hooked up my washer and dryer did the same thing. You're going to need a wrench to loosen them.

[Shystonefem]

Sometimes I wish it wasn't an LDR. Sometimes I wish that someone else had it for a little while. Sometimes I am tired and too tired to wake up (but yet I have to). Sometimes it would be nice for someone to bring me coffee and let let me know that it is going to be OK.

Sometimes it would be easier to get my ass out of bed next go to work.

[JDeere]

That I really need to start prepping for my trip this upcoming Wednesday.

[AmazonDC]

How I.am the luckiest guy alive to have such a beautiful bratty babygrl .... she is My puzzle piece

[JDeere]

My sleep pattern is way off.

[girl_dee]

that time seems to stand still sometimes... but man the anticipation is exciting

[girl_dee]

how we must not put things off...nothing is promised.


i just saw on a member's page, another member who has passed away saying she will call that person soon, and another day saying the same thing.. and another day... "i will call you soon"....

i have said this to people myself, and then they are not there anymore.

Note to self, make the call.

[Gayandgray]

My bff who is having some health/family issues, my dog who is sick, my stepdaughter who is having health issues due to her addiction.

[JDeere]

That I don't want to get out of bed at all... but I have to, gotta do things in small town, Oklahoma today.

[cinnamongrrl]

Ive been thinking how things have changed so quickly in my life....and when I least expected it....

My love and I have come such a long way in a short time. I'm really looking forward to a future together <3

[Gemme]

The changes that are a'comin'.

[JDeere]

I took a way long nap and now I'm really tired...

[Kenna]

To a day or two of rest, been super busy.

[Orema]

Bracing myself for an upcoming project. I expect to get the files today or tomorrow. It's a yearly project i work on and it's a beast. 1t's 4 times the size of most of my projects and last year it really tested our internet platform as well as my patience. The I/T department made some changes and we'll see if they help.

Think I'm gonna need to play hooky one afternoon in the next week or two.

Wishing she was here to play hooky with me.

[bright_arrow]

An upcoming interview next week for yet another job. However, this one is not in SF but in a city over by me, and that is a little daunting. I wish they could complete the merger and I could rest knowing I am not getting laid off, and stop all this interviewing and fretting. :byebye:

[Gayandgray]

All sorts of things right now.......

[Kenna]

Been dealing with an urgent, overwhelming situation these past couple weeks. I sends my mind into a place that resembles the Jumanji jungle.

I need some meditation.

[JDeere]

Finally getting some sleep, uninterrupted sleep!

[Bard]

pressure got a lot of things I need to get done and it is just one hoop after another to get it accomplished.. And money always that I don't make near what I use to and that comes into play so much I want to be able to do in the house and then for the goose sometimes I just feel like i am failing ...

[Talon]

I'm bothered by something, but oddly enough, I don't know what it is. I cannot sleep tonight, and feel...?...
just very restless.

🏇

[Gayandgray]

A lot of stuff but I'm trying to push myself along and stay positive. What's that saying? FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT!!

[FireSignFemme]

Aliens. From outter space. :alieninjar:

[girl_dee]

The people affected by the storm. How tomorrow is going to play out here. Schools are closed. Going to work early so i can get out of there early.

[JDeere]

Just how much of a fraud the red cross is... I've read and seen too much this past week to not be upset about it.

[AmazonDC]

The next 3 days .. going to kill it

[Tuff Stuff]

Aliens. From outter space. :alieninjar:
