What made you sad today...

[girl_dee]

Southwest Airlines in flight wi-fi has blocked BFP. I couldn't catch up with posts on the plane. Boo.

What the heck?!

[rhopar]

Mother's day without my mom. One year since she has been gone and its just not the same and never will be.

[WingsOnFire]

Feeling so sad... it eats me up inside... I am at a loss..... music is helping..

[Gráinne]

I miss my mom. She passed a week before Mother's Day 17 years ago, and it really doesn't get easier.

[alexri]

I accidentally hit two birds on my way to work this morning. I tried to swerve to miss them but they changed their flight pattern. I saw them fluttering on the road. I couldn't stop to check on them because it was a highway entrance ramp with cars and trucks behind me.

What a stupid world. I feel awful.

And then things just went downhill from there.

[psykftm]

I give my boss 2-3 months notice that im looking for a job...just
trying to be nice, and friday I've been told its my last day,
not even a month later. I had worked freakin hard for this person too.

[cinnamongrrl]

Waking my morning client only to find that her hip was somehow displaced. Luckily, she is back home now, and I will see her tomorrow. I just hate that she has suffered such a set back when she has worked SO HARD....

and

I hate thinking that she may have been put to bed that way...since her leg wasn't weight bearing when I found her. I can only imagine her discomfort....thankfully she will be ok...tomorrow is another day

:praying:

[RNguy]

My moms been feeling not well for 10 days and I take her to the e.r. at a hospital in Kentucky yesterday evening .
She was telling me she's been short of breath with new onset of epigastic pain .
They take her back promptly with her symptoms and hook her to the monitor and her heart rate is in the 50's, her sbp 150's 160's and she has a sat of 88 on room air .
Prior to taking her I listened to her lungs and they were clear and took her bp and pulse which were consistent and the nurse says to me does she have copd and I said no ma'am nor any history of heart problems , no hypertension etc...
She says oh well the doc says to give her 2L bolus .
Ummmmm....... Well gee lets just make her bp shoot up higher with fluids.
That's what I was thinking to myself .
Meanwhile they are sticking blood and iv on her and I said well does anyone mind if I place her on 2l of oxygen since she is desatting to 86 ???
The nurse says ohhh no we have to wait til the doc writes an order for oxygen .
Shakes head well where I come from we don't wait for a pt to decline and become more hypoxic while the doc may not come in for another hour geez.
The doc comes in and says her blood gas is picture perfect so she doesn't need oxygen .
20 min later the nurse comes in and says her blood gas says she is hypoxic and places her on oxygen bc they looked at the wrong pts gas result .
Lord !
So the doc asks me what I do and I said I'm an RN I work in trauma and she is yakking to me
About wanting to work in a trauma facility . I'm thinking um first you should master the art of looking at right pts lab values and be ok if a nurse places oxygen on a hypoxic pt .
She comes back and says I'm gonna release you Mrs H bc your cardiac enzymes are negative .
Ummmm wth!!! I said I really don't think that is a good idea doc bc .. the doc interrupted me and said well what do you think she needs then ????
I said well how about doing a CTA of her chest and rule out a PE since she is hypoxic and vert short of breath and complaining of dizziness and upper abdominal pain .
Also, the heart enzymes can be negative and show up positive on the 2nd or 3rd set .
She said well I don't believe she has a PE lets check her glucose .
I said I checked it before I brought her here bc my dad is a diebetic and it was 83 when I checked her and besides you ordered a chem panel which has glucose result on that . She said oh did I order that ?
So she appeases me by ordering the CTA per my request.
How about that , she had a PE in her lung . Geeeee
She is going to be ok but this whole ordeal made me sad .
Think of how many people out there do not get proper care . This is sad .

[MsTinkerbelly]

RNguy....in the 2 years I cared for my Mom while she was on Dialysis and before she passed, if I hadn't been with her every time she went to the hospital and to each reg appointment, they would have killed her many times over.

Everyone should have an informed advocate whenever possible...when you're sick and scared, you are often unable to be your own.

But you already know that :)

[Glenn]

In less than two minutes; a still growing strong and healthy, two-three hundred year old oak tree, was murdered today in the woods. I don't know why. Maybe because it grew different than the others, grow straight and upright like the others. It was the animals favorite climbing tree. I watched as the men acted all egotistical about killing the beautiful tree.

[Cid]

Double standards...I hate that.

[WingsOnFire]

so many things I don't even know where to start.

Sitting at the laundry mat by myself drinking a hot cup of coffee because my asthma is kicking my butt today and waiting for the washer to be done so I can put the clothes in the dryer.

Sooo hate moody times that occur once a month.

[G Snap!]

Coming home and you aren't here because you travel so much with your new job.

[cinnamongrrl]

While on my way to work, a bird flew into my car and was killed :(

and

I found out today, I'm going to stop seeing my Sunday evening client. I'm working over 40hrs/wk (and have been for weeks) and they need to cut my hours....

Not only will I miss the client, but I'm quite attached to her pets as well...especially her African grey parrot...who, since he's been receiving positive attention, has stopped plucking his feathers and is actually letting them begin to grow again.

He hasn't learned how to say "redrum" yet either....but he did say my name last week....sigh...

[Glenn]

I haven't seen my babygrrl kitty Sis for six days :( I really think the same Folk's pitbull, who killed her brother, killed her, because those folks have been hiding from me, and stopped letting their dog loose in their yard, and have been walking it on a leash. It would escape sometimes. The last time I saw her, I tried to keep Sis in, but she howled til I let her out. She loved being free.

[agape]

some co-workers making fun of me... :( it sucks...

[Miss Scarlett]

Back to back to back conversations this morning with friends that are either having severe relationship issues or going through a break-up... :(


(wonder if there is something in the water)

[cinnamongrrl]

My little lady.....

She realizes something is not quite right with her....(she has severe Alzheimer's) and she was talking to me about it at breakfast today....
she says she feels like she is in the (assisted living) facility for the sole purpose of being provided 3 meals a day and a place to sleep...and all she wants to do is go home to a place that (unbeknownst to her) isn't hers any more....
She was so openly upset and sad....and it's so not like her....I hate that I can't find the right words to make it ok...or even tolerable. I hate that this disease will take her from her family long before she dies....I hate that I can't make it all better....
And as we sat there....and I looked into her teary eyes....this snippet of a song came on from the dining room radio....and just struck a cord....

I am, I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am, I cried
I am, said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still

I love my job and hate it all at the same time....

[Glenn]

Update: Sis came home just now! She's been gone for 10 days. She did'nt drink, ate a little, howled, and ran back out through the window. I swear.. they drive me crazy sometimes.

[LoyalWolfsBlade]

Memories some as old as I am some not that old...funny how they hit you one after another when they are sad or really happy...I would much rather have the really happy ones any day....

[girl_dee]

some co-workers making fun of me... :( it sucks...

this does suck. i feel like an alien at my job for sure, but it's getting better.

Good luck because that is no easy task working in that environment.

[cinnamongrrl]

Stopping to get a turtle from the side of the road, only to find it had already been (recently) crushed...turtles are just amazing and beautiful to me...it really broke my heart that I was too late to help him....

[LoyalWolfsBlade]

Trying to sleep (unsucusefuly) without Riley claiming 2/3 rds of the bed
Waking up and realizing she is not here wanting to be walked when I saw her empty spot next to me and empty food bowls that I have to some how get to her...:confused:

[PoeticSilence]

What made you sad today...

..reading an article about a turtle that was caught in in some plastic used to hold six cans of soda together, and as it grew, its shell grew deformed. I realize things happen all over the world and not everything is perfect, but really? Cleaning up after yourself is such an easy thing to do. So quit tossing those cigarettes on the ground. Quit dumping pills into toilet. Stop avoiding your chance to recycle. Give the world a break.

[WingsOnFire]

The first degree burn that I received from opening my radiator cap.. WHHHATTT was I thinking??? :hk12: :blink:

[LoyalWolfsBlade]

The same thing over and over again has made me sad today
Walking in and not be greeted by Riley
Not having her lay on my chest
Not being able to walk her
Knowing in my heart she would be safe and happy with me because she always was
Not having her look at me and say okay Dad time to rub the belly and you think your sleeping where exactly...
Yes I am missing MY dog and that makes me beyond sad...

[cinnamongrrl]

Whenever I'm throwing those ring things away I make sure to cut them up. The stories I've heard about animals becoming entangled in them... :(
It's sad what people do to this planet. And the simple act of recycling could help so much and the majority would rather do nothing...
It is very sad indeed...

[WingsOnFire]

not knowing what the right decision is...

[LoyalWolfsBlade]

Although I have had a decent day and there were smiles to be found
Deep down I am sad
I am sad for the same reasons I was when I went to sleep last night
Same reason I was when the nightmare woke me up a few hours later
So yes the same thing is making me sad and I am doing my best to not allow it in through the walls that are slowly going back up....

[EdenBella]

that i hurt people i love sometimes...and yet it's sad that i have so much to give.....and no One willing to take.

[Cailin]

Seeing that it's not even October yet. I may just have do an early vacation-- dont think I can wait much longer.

[o'queery]

Seeing someone i love very much struggle,

and not being able to do a fucking thing about it.

This kind of helplessness makes me uber sad.

[Apocalipstic]

No knowing where I will be working next week, where money will come from, If I am going to be ok.

Learning to trust that I will, but sad things are as they are.

Katrina 8 year anniversary coming up. Images of the tragedy start popping up everywhere around this time.

Driving by Dairy Queen and my dog that is no longer in this world, wasn't in my truck beggin me to stop for icecream he so loved.

[agape]

... that my time here on B&F planet might be coming to an end ...
... can't tell why that is, but my life seems to be a bit strange when it comes to ways to go and turns to take ...

[Katelar]

Waiting for a bus this evening in a not so nice part of the city and some young lad (about 14/15 years old) shouted ''Batty Boy'' at some random kid cycling past.

Young kids at that age filled with such incomprehensible hate makes my blood boil.

What are we doing to our youth?

[Teddybear]

Knowing no matter what band aid I put on it it still is broken. At my wits end on trying to fix it bout to give up and walk away

[Gemme]

A lot of things. It's been a pretty sad week all around but hopefully things will calm down and I might even get a day off now, so that's a step in the right direction.

[bright_arrow]

Went back to read old posts and it just hurt too much :(

[Blade]

seeing the destruction the tornado left behind at the campground. It came threw in late June and part of the campground was opened back up the first week of August, but I hadn't been up there until yesterday and today.

I've never been up there that I didn't see several deer herds. I didn't see any deer yesterday and saw 2 yearling does today.

there is still a huge amount of work to do up there. I just hope another storm doesn't come threw and catch it on fire before the clean up is done

[Leigh]

knowing that in just over a week my Daddy will be leaving to go back to the States and i won't see Hym for 3-6 months or more .............. i am trying to be strong but its not working very well :'(

[girl_dee]

Family drama. Trying not to let it cloud my joy.

[RockOn]

Reading online news about the Syria issue. Bouncing around, reading different articles. Then I opened this one article. There was a large, clear photo of 3 deceased children lined up together. Someone had taped a piece of ragged scrap paper on each one's chest. I imagine maybe their names? I studied each one's face and imagined her/him playing and laughing. Wondered things like what their favorite color was. I think they were about preschool age or maybe one was in 1st or 2nd grade. These beautiful children, they were just babies.

Yes, made me sad. Very sad.

[Blade]

Not one dang thing....well I ha ent caught a fish yet...that is sorta sad

Hi,

The damn grocery store is like my Kryptonite! I can be happy all day then I go into the grocery store alone and I feel like everyone is looking at me thinking poor single guy has to shop by himself; Loser!

I hate grocery shopping alone!

Everything is okay now I am home and happy again.

[TruTexan]

Neighbor drama and having to file multiple complaints and the last one today just did it for me. I"M DONE with dealing with this. ugh. I feel terrible about it and it's affecting my depression, ptsd, and anxiety. I want my own space on my porch to be able to relax on, without the neighbor going nuts on me when she sees me outside. she's got alzheimers and her family is doing nothing about her behavior, so my landlord has had to step in and take action while I take the brunt end effect of having to deal with her drama.
I pray for a peaceful end to all this. :praying:

ETA: God grant me serenity and help me with this, I can't do this alone anymore.

[MaggieBluIze]

It has been a sad home for 2 days now ...

Yesterday my sweet Bass (BluIze's Bass) and I had to go identify the body
of Hys 46 year old ex of 16 years,
who is also the mother of Hys 4 children.

Emotions are so high ... Guilt is rampant ...
There is anger, fear, hurt, and complete sorrow for all.

All I can do is be there for Hym, love Hym completely
and give Hym all and any support that Hy needs
and may not know Hy needs.

Hy had the pleasure of getting to meet some of our wonderful BFP family
at the Reunion and wanted to share this news with Hys now new family ...
Hy is a kind, gentle, caring and loving soul that is in so much pain
and confusion on what to feel.

Please send out light, love, strength and healing.

With much love ..............

Someone I have known longer than anyone else, who offered before to donate so we could have a baby, backed out tonight when learned that we would not be having sex to do this.

It was the last straw to break the camel's back today and I lost it, logged off and curled up and cried.

Why didn't I just stick with my decision that I'd never have kids? I can't even get this ball rolling.

:bigcry:

[Scots_On_The_Rocks]

Thinking about my mom.

[Jar]

Why didn't I just stick with my decision that I'd never have kids? I can't even get this ball rolling.

Hang in there and keep trying. It'll be well worth it when it finally happens. I would've loved to have had kids with someone but it didn't happen. I make a good uncle though. :gimmehug:

[Smiling]

The other night, I had a dream that I ended up with a houseful (4, to be exact) of kitties that I rescued. As it turned out, that number soon tripled because, well...you know, lol. There were also about 4 or 5 baby elephants living in my home (I adore elephants but still, yikes!) that were rescues.

[As an aside, this was interesting to me because most of the cats and of course, the elephants were gray and recently all of my dreams have been hypercolored with vivid scents and bold patterns.]

When I was sharing this dream with a friend of mine, he suggested that it meant I needed to get another cat very soon. He said that I could save a kitty from a life of abuse.

The thought made me promptly burst into tears as I remembered my sweet cat who recently passed away. She can't ever be replaced and the very idea of getting another pet makes me feel like a betrayer.

Conversely, I was also saddened at the thought of not getting another pet and possibly dooming it to a life of hardship.

I just don't think I can do it, though.

The bolded and underlined part is your problem, imo. IF you got another pet, it would NOT be to replace your baby. It would be because you are human and most humans require affection and intimate connections with other creatures. To deny yourself of that is to deny your nature.

Now, having said that, that doesn't mean go right this very second and nab the first cute and fuzzy thing you see. No, it means to keep your heart open to the possibility that maybe, just maybe your baby will send another to love.

That's all. No betrayal necessary. Just the acknowledgement that you don't live in a vacuum and that you have feelings and needs that a pet could help with. That's the jist of it.

...listening to the untold stories from the bystanders of the JFK assassination.

[Jar]

This morning I was walking Mattie and the kids in the neighborhood were walking to the bus stop. There was a boy probably about 12 walking behind 2 older (and bigger) kids ... a boy and a girl. I couldn't hear what was being said but suddenly the older boy turned around and threatened to hit the younger boy. Then the girl did the same thing. The younger boy finally yelled "I AM NOT GAY!!" When I drove past the bus stop the older kids were together talking and laughing ... the younger boy was sitting alone on the steps holding his knees to his chest and staring at the ground. I feel so bad for him. No kid should be bullied for any reason. Wish there was something I could do....

Hearing that my adopted dad is dying and will most likely not make it through the night tonight. I knew it was coming, but it is still a sad thing to know.

[willow]

Waking up today to find a large branch from my magnolia tree in the middle of the lawn. Then looking up to see that it hadn't been blown down by the wind but hacked off mid branch. There are several branches like this because my neighbour chose to slice off everything hanging over his side of the boundary fence (his legal right) I already said I would do it, he only had to say when it would be convenient to him. But, he decided to go ahead on his own (his legal right) and butcher a beautiful, healthy tree. I would have done a good job, cleaned up after myself, protected his property and not butchered my tree. It made me sad to cut up the fallen branch laden with buds and stuff it into the recycling bin. Technically he was supposed to return all the cut branches to me but I'm glad he broke the law in that respect.

On the plus side, the branches remaining are laden with buds so there should still be a lot of flowers come spring.

[Kenna]

My 8 year old pup's eyes are getting cloudy and it worries me that he might go blind. It makes me sad I can't do anything to help. He's such an active , vibrant, very playful older mutt...I don't want this to affect his quality of life.

I pet sit for a really old sweet poodle who's completely blind. She's such a doll but has no quality of life with being blind and having other issues.

Breaks my heart....I don't want him in distress.

First of all, I'm sorry you are feeling sad today. Feel free to talk about it some more. I felt some vulnerability actually when discussing something about me on a class discussion board just now. Its something I've had some shame over. Something I never thought was an issue anymore until I went to a private college and they questioned my ability to be a good teacher. Anyway. <3

The memorial service of someone very close and dear to me is planned for tomorrow. Some part of me doesn't want to go - as if not going means she isn't gone, or that I don't have to finally cross over that bridge of acceptance - even though I know she is gone, whether there is a memorial service to attend or not. The day of her death I cried all day off and on, at the hospital, and after leaving there. These last few days I've shed a few tears. Tomorrow I know I'm going to fall apart, and I don't want to. It's as if tomorrow marks reality, and I don't want to go there.

My 40th Birthday is tomorrow ...
this should be celebrated with family, at some point.
Anyone that knows me knows I am incredibly close w/my Dad.
I am sad because there are issues going on that
may make it to where I do not get to celebrate with him.
I never in my life thought anything would ever come between us.
The hard part is the issue is not him,
it's the bitch he is married to.
Sometimes you have to step back till things are realized
and issues are recognized and acknowledge.
My heart is sad and I will continue :praying: for a resolution for us all.

Sorry to spew, but this is my sad for today and for about a week now.

[WingsOnFire]

Sitting outside in the sun for the second time today on my break... I was sad to have to leave it and go back inside... it is quite beautiful today.

[Jar]

Sorry to spew, but this is my sad for today and for about a week now.

Really sorry. Family dynamics are tough but I always say butt out when the kids are involved. Hope it works out

Thanks so much Jar!!!
I'm hoping for the best.
I know we'll get through this.

[JustLovelyJenn]

My son had a huge meltdown at the therapist today... tried to hide under the chairs and in a cabnet, banged the chair against a wall, then started throwing things, he tried to run out of the office and when I blocked him he started kicking me repeatedly... its the worst meltdown we have had in a really really long time... and it has made me SO sad.

[Stud_puppy1991]

Severely missing my friends and family, and then just finding out that one of my old mentors died. I'm at a loss for words

[feminality]

A Huge step ladder fell on my car ... scratched it all up ...This is what made me sad today .

[cricket26]

an acquaintance of 20+ years was admitted to the hospital on thursday...she was given 4-6 months to live...pancreatic cancer...long story short she is an alcoholic and the symptoms were missed completely...my daughter is taking it very hard as she was very close to the eldest and middle child of this acquaintance...i pray for peace for her 3 children and peace for her...i am trying not to think about 6 months from now :(

[Kenna]

It's been on my mind a lot lately ...especially in the evenings and at bed time when I'm really hurting...
I'm not asking for pitty...

I'm just looking to vent ...

recently my health/mobility issues have gotten much worse...to the point where I fear within a year or less, I will be walker/wheelchair bound...this is an awful dark mental space it's sending me to.

I don't know how to process this fear or how to cope.
What happened to the strength I once prided myself about?

[cricket26]

my daughter let me ex into the garage to get some yard tools...as she was gathering things, she told my daughter that one of the cats got outside and was attacked...the vet shaved her belly and she was cut up from head to toe...the vet stitched her up and sent her home hoping for the best...she chewed her stitches and the vet had to sew her up again, then it got infected...that little cat is a survivor because she is fine now :)

this is the second time something close to her was almost taken away...

[Shystonefem]

Tell the ASpCA that she is yours and the neighbor had no right to surrender her

A few weeks ago, my son brought home a puppy that he said was following him around the neighborhood. She was adorable..the cutest thing I've ever seen. It was clear that she was someone's pet, she was clean and smelled good, and had on a flea collar. So I said, let's ask around to the neighbors and see if anyone recognizes her. One neighbor said they knew the girl who owned her, and they took her in for a few days so they could look for the girl..and said if they couldnt find her, they would keep her. (which I was glad about) A few days later, they came over and said they couldnt keep her, or find the girl who owned her. I said, can you keep her a few days, and then I will take her? (I had a very busy work week, and was going to get her that friday) I went to get her on Wednesday, becouse I was anxious..(I was already in love with her and wanted her soooo much) The pup wasnt there. They said when they were walking her, she ran away. !!!!! I was sooo upset, I drove around in my pj's looking for her..calling her. I never found her. Since then, I've been so sad about losing her,that I decided to look at the ASPCA website for a dog/puppy.
Well what do you know!!! There she WAS~! I know it's her from the pic..and also her intake date is right for when she "ran away" from the neighbor.

I would rush right down there and get her...except it's 150 dollars to adopt..and I would have to pay the 300 dollar pet fee to the apartment office before adoption..(the aspca checks first before allowing the adoption)

I just dont have the money right now..and I"m incredibly sad..It will be a few months before I have the expendable finances..but I"m sure she wont be there by then.

I really wanted her....the kids even named her already..Baby.

This is my sadness today..thanks for listening.

Her name on this page is Lula

One Of Kenya's Legendary 'Tuskers' Is Killed By Poachers
by EYDER PERALTA
June 14, 201411:55 AM ET

http://i1306.photobucket.com/albums/s577/Bree524/imagejpg1_zpse34febde.jpg
Satao was a rare elephant with tusks so big they almost touched the ground.


Kenya is mourning the death of one of its legendary elephants.

Satao was known as a tusker, one of the few remaining elephants whose tusks are so big they almost touch the ground. Unfortunately, Satao faced an end many others have faced before: He was killed by poachers, who mutilated his head to remove his ivory.

The Tsavo Trust, a conservation group in Kenya, says that they spotted a large carcass in early June and while they feared it was Satao, they waited until they could collect more evidence to determine that the carcass was, indeed, Satao.

"Satao was shot dead by poisoned arrow on 30th May 2014," the trust reports. "The arrow had entered his left flank and he stood no chance of survival."

As The Guardian reports, however, Satao had survived an attack once before. In March, Mike Chase, the director of Elephants Without Borders, reported seeing "two seeping wounds on Satao's flank." They were arrow wounds, but despite pain, Satao survived.

Mark Deeble, a wildlife fimmaker, wrote about his encounter with Satao around that period on his blog. He writes that Satao was a rare creature, maybe one of a dozen left in Kenya.

Deeble sat in a metal box for weeks to try to film Satao. When he finally showed up, it was a breathtaking and sad experience. Deeble wrote:

"Initially I thought the sun had reflected off the windscreen of a distant vehicle, but there were no tracks close by. Whatever it was disappeared, then glinted once more. Alert now, it was several minutes before I saw it again. I came to the slow realization that what I was looking at was sunlight reflecting off an elephant's tusks. Gradually, like in the opening scene from 'Lawrence of Arabia', their owner materialized through the shimmering haze. A mirage from the Taru desert — a magnificent, dusty behemoth.
"Other elephants stood sleeping, clustered in the shade of acacias, apparently unaware of the bull's approach. He didn't walk straight to water. It took him almost an hour to cover the final kilometer as he slowly zig-zagged from one bush to another. The glint I'd seen, came whenever he turned his head and appeared to bury it in a bush. Each time he did, he'd wait a few minutes, partially hidden, then continue zig-zagging upwind, scenting the air, to check there wasn't a poacher hidden at the waterhole.
"I was mystified at the bull's poor attempt to hide — until it dawned on me that he wasn't trying to hide his body, he was hiding his tusks. At once, I was incredibly impressed, and incredibly sad — impressed that he should have the understanding that his tusks could put him in danger, but so sad at what that meant."
In the comments of the post, Deeble explains that he initially left Satao's name off his post, to try to protect him from poachers. With Satao's death, he has added it to the headline.

"He was very special," Deeble writes. "If his death can focus the world's attention on the terrible trade in ivory and help end it, then it won't have been in vain."

[WildHorses]

I am missing my parents. My dad was an ass but I still miss him.

[JustLovelyJenn]

This past friday would have been my little sisters 30th birthday. She has been gone almost 18 years now and I still miss her every day... Happy birthday Amber Beth!

[Mel C.]

An unpleasant reminder that my painful past will pop up from time to time. I don't want to re-live it.

[~ocean]

~ knowing that I was right about a very sensitive situation and then accepting what u once thought to be a very good friendship isn't ! ~

[lilapache]

my appointment had to be rescheduled for July... *sighs*

[MsTinkerbelly]

The father that left his 13 month old daughter in the car for 7 hours in 90* heat. I can't get that poor child out of my mind. :(

[WildHorses]

Too many things- shhh.

[WingsOnFire]

as sad as I was at the unexpected loss of Cuddly femme I am devastated at the unexpected death of my brother just 40 mins ago words cannot express the pain I feel right now. I just found out last night that he was admitted to Hospice and was given 2 to 3 days to live. He made it one.

Go be with Mom and Dad Smoky my heart is broken and I will forever miss you

My thoughts and love are with you, Wings! I am so sorry you have to go through this. Know I am here if you need anything, just a phone call away...

[tiaras-and-books]

A longtime friend is moving cross country in the next day or two.

[bobbi46]

well after a very long fight with cancer ...my friend finally said goodbye this morning ..a long night of us laughing and opening our hearts to make sure we told each other everything.then cuddling in a hospital bed we fell asleep ..i woke up to watch her sleep she took one huge breathe and a big sign..she passed away in my arms ...may she finally have peace ..xoxo

[cinnamongrrl]

losing a piece of trust and faith in others......

[LoyalWolfsBlade]

Well I would have to say it was myself that made me sad since
It was my thoughts
My memories
My damn flashbacks
So yep I was my own worst enemy again today
But hey there is always tomorrow right

[AnAwkwardAccident]

A longtime friend isn't doing well health-wise. She's been in and out of the hospital and been seeing specialists....so far, no answers.

[Talon]

The fact that I have to go to a friend's nephew's funeral on Monday, due to a motorcycle accident...and he was only 23 yrs. old. :blues:

[Jesse]

A woman who is a member of an online group that I am in committed suicide. So sad.

[cinnamongrrl]

my typically stoic stepfather....

he became very emotional when he described a very vivid dream he had about my late cousin....

[WingsOnFire]

thinking about my brother who recently passed away..(w)(w)

[Smiling]

I'm really enjoying my time off; however, I can't help but to have thoughts of someone very dear to me and whom I am missing a great deal. This time would have been even more special if we could have shared some of it.

[cinnamongrrl]

finding my late dog Cricket's hair in my car.....still....after2 months without her....wow 2 months....

and

knowing at some point I wont find them at all any more.....and thats as close to touching her as I can get now.....

[cricket26]

i am fortunate enough to have a supervisor that i admire and consider a mentor...she has been pre occupied for the past 19 months caring for her father who was battling pancreatic cancer...after working with her for almost 10 years and her brother for about a year...i see that it takes a special man to create this "family"...this is why it makes me very sad that their dad passed on tuesday...rip...the legacy of great fathers are seen in their children :)

[LoyalWolfsBlade]

Most holidays make me sad but the 4th is usually not one of them until this year. It saddened me bcs I am currently living with my bio-family and while we had dinner together, I had to cook after all, when it got dark enough for the fun part of the holiday I came out of my room to discover that everyone was gone. I think it bothered me the most bcs they didn't ask or tell me that they were going out to do a family thing which I would have understood. So of course today I had to torture myself all day with every 4th that my family celebrated without me for whatever reason when I was a lid and things like that mattered more than anything.

[Canela]

Another death in the family. Another road trip home...Another season of mourning...this one hurts like hell.

[EnchantedNightDweller]

I am so sorry LoyalWolfsBlade. That was hurtful and they should be ashamed of themselves.

[WingsOnFire]

my pup is struggling with her skin allergies.. I thought I had it under control with the change in dog food to no grain and no protein other than duck.. but I think this new issue is grass related since it is summer again.. poor baby.. going to the vet tomorrow if they are open

[Cole]

My ex-girlfriend broke up with me today. She said I was too emotional to be the 'man' in a relationship....

[fever]

It isn't often that you can find a partner who can express emotions. I am sorry that this wonderful trait was used against you.








My ex-girlfriend broke up with me today. She said I was too emotional to be the 'man' in a relationship....

Sounds like someone didn't realize how hard it is to come by a great trait. Wearing your heart on your sleeve isn't gender specific.

[Canela]

Having to pack and drive home for the funeral. Alone.

I can do it.

I'm just not motivated enough right now to get it done. I usually love the drive...

[cricket26]

my friend who only had a few months to live...then a few weeks....passed this morning

Doing some purging and coming across a bunch of phots of my little Mocha girl... You have been gone 8 months now and it still feels like you just left. Still the tears flow freely from my eyes when I think of you...
Love you so much my little brown girl...

[EnchantedNightDweller]

Two little brothers from a foster home - one 2, the other 5. Watching them eat as much food as they can get, as fast as they can get it, everyday at school. Hearing the other teachers comment on how much weight the 2-year-old has lost. Listening to the 2-year-old tell me, "Mommy is in jail all day." Finding out that when the little brother gets in trouble, the older brother says, "Now you're not going to get food." Wondering what all really goes on in these foster homes.

[ProfPacker]

I had to say goodbye to my laptop. It has always been good to me. Never crashed, was a constant companion. Off warranty:readfineprint:

took it into bestbuy and the motherboard died. left it there for them to recycle. I have learned to put everything of importance these days on either dropbox or One Drive.

[JDeere]

Finding out that my half sister's dad is in the hospital, has a slow bleed in his brain.

[WingsOnFire]

seeing so much cruelty to animals. I'm so sad that 3 out of 4 dogs in a car died in Sacramento CA because they were left in a car for hours

[JDeere]

Missing my half sister, we have formed a good bond and I miss hanging out with her

[MsTinkerbelly]

My Dad would have been 74 today, hard to believe he has been gone 15 years.

Miss you Dad:rrose:

[Blaze]

At our VA hospital. we have 36 foot flags. This morning I had to lower them to half mast. as I lowered the American Flag I thought about where and what i was doing that day. Hotel Sous Chef and stunned as we all were glued to the television in horror, as I lowered the Texas lone star flag. I thought how I missed my Hawaiian flag, but still honor my home now. God Bless America :vigil:

[Liam]

I miss my girl and her dog. I miss hearing her laugh, and I miss her companionship. I still carry her in my heart, but its pretty lonely in there.

[Degotoga]

The way the story of the local 2 y/o missing since July is unfolding. It's starting to read like a page straight out of Casey Anthony's playbook.

[Mel C.]

So much sadness remembering 9/11...very emotional

[Degotoga]

The remains of a local 2 y/o boy missing since July were located today. From the beginning it didn't sound like there would be a favorable outcome, but being the optimist I am, I had hoped they would find him safely in the hands of someone that does what adults are supposed to do, protect children. I'm glad he's been found, but it breaks my heart to know that the one person that should have fiercely protected him seems to be involved. Lets hope his mother and whomever else is involved don't escape justice like Casey Anthony did.

RIP Colton :rrose:

[MsTinkerbelly]

For the last month I have been watching a man with alzheimers for a few hours a day while his wife worked. She came over this evening because he passed away in his sleep and she didn't know what to do.

God bless him and God bless her aching heart.

[jerbear]

I miss a good friend and a great boss its hard to believe she been gone for over a week
.. and this has been a rough week.. . I lost a horse that was born 4 months before i was because someone else didn't listen or care. Why do ppl insist on thinking they know everything when they never even lived the life or went to school to know how to do the things that need to be done.

[Talon]

May I have the peace to endure.

[Candelion]

Just an underlying turquoise washed in a soft dove grey.

[Mormegil]

Coming to terms with the fact someone I care about never really liked me at all I guess. Feels that ways after 4 months of trying to get together and being supportive of her dealing with a psycho ex causing her problems and even some physical abuse. And me attempting to show her how much I care , always trying to cheer her up when she was down....for me to have one off week. One week where my old anxiety came back for a visit. Spurred on by stress and aggrivating my Ocd a bit for her to just drop me. Been two weeks since I heard anything. No goodbye no nothin. Like I never existed in her life at all.

And I come to the realization this isnt the first time. Ive been dropped a few in the same manner. I give everything and Im treated like nothing in the end. I also see that my inexperience is a huge turn off for everyone i try to have a relationship with...they hear it and just leave. Like i have no feelings at all.

When I try to explain why Im a 30 yr old virgin with no relationship experience due to severe social anxiety disorder /depression most of my 20s. They immediately judge me or discard me. . Thank God ive over come it for the most part and can date....if someone would ever give me a chance. I truely think Im cursed sometimes. Just like when you cant get a job due to no experience but cant get experience without getting a job.

Just tired of getting treated like i have no feelings or im some kind of monster.

[Kenna]

Very sad. Wish I could travel to PA to be with my best friend. Just found out her sister died very unexpectedly. My heart hurts for her.

[ProfPacker]

My sister was discharged from hospital after stroke on Saturday and had another event today and is back in hospital. This makes me sad. :(.

However, there are always more than one emotion floating around in me. I am feeling fortunate to have a person in my life who is there to listen and care.

[Blade]

Having just read on FB that a local high school football coach died of a massive heart attack this afternoon

[SleepyButch]

There is a lot of stuff going on in the house that I live in. Some really far out there stuff that I won't go into. It makes me so sad. I have no control over any of it so I just have to let it go but how do you do that when it involves your family? Tough love is tough. It really is.

[Blade]

Realizing how physically weak Daddy is.

[SleepyButch]

It's kind of trivial but nonetheless, it made me sad...

I realized that I may not get to go to a Halloween party next weekend when I could really use a fill me up from my friends.

[Kenna]

This morning, on a highway I frequently use to get to Charlotte, a Sheriff's Deputy was killed when a truck driver lost control of his rig, hitting a tanker truck and flipping over on top the Deputy's car. We lost a very dedicated public servant.

Later in the day, I spoke to a family friend who "was numb" by the news..they shared with me that the Deputy's wife was in the hospital for surgery, recently dealing with major health issues and she hadn't been told yet. They went on to mention that the family had been through many hardships recently and that his body was "downstairs" (at the hospital) being "watched over" by no less than six other Deputies.

It breaks my heart. The family will have a big support system and many loved ones to help them through their pain.

[Blade]

Took Daddy out to eat tonight. He ordered a 6oz Top Sirloin instead of a big fat Ribeye or Prime Rib like I know he'd like to have had. He hasn't much appetite since he started radiation and it's making his throat sore.

Dr has asked VA for permission to put a feeding tube in now before he needs it rather than wait til later when he is thinner and more frail.

While watching the SEC championship game, I am realizing that this is the end of my greatest passion until next September. Except the bowl games NCAA football is over for the year. What makes me even sadder is that means it is basketball season and there are way to many basketball games and the season is about 3 months to long.

[cinnamongrrl]

Hearing "I'll be home for Christmas"....:blush:

[cinnamongrrl]

this morning:

realizing that I won't be here to feed my big, sweet tom any more...and he's not tame enough to take with...

this afternoon:

my dad sent me a Christmas card and it was very sweet and made me cry...He always gets the best cards...*sniff*

[Smiling]

It made me sad this morning to read that there are those who are so terrified of the aging process that they would rather live a life almost completely devoid of laughter and smiles simply to avoid wrinkles.

I typically don't read celebrity "news." And that tidbit certainly reminded me why. As for me, bring on the smile lines; I want to unabashedly enjoy life.

And anyway, am I the only one who finds crows feet sexy? I love to see the lines on someone's face when they smile at me; or even when they don't. It brings a depth and character to the face and speaks of a life fully lived and sincerity in whatever emotions are being expressed through it.

My lines are a part of my life story. I earned each one - most of them the hard way, lol - why on earth would I want to trade that for a puffy, frozen face?

Ah well; to each their own. Ask me again ten years from now and maybe I will have a different opinion, lol. But I doubt it.






P.S. Frowning and pouting endlessly are going to cause lines, too. :cheesy:

[cinnamongrrl]

Seeing my stray tomcat, surely for the last time, and having him run fast as he could away from me...although Jacques was with me....maybe he hates long, drawn out goodbyes too...

[Gráinne]

That this year is so far full of death. In one week, two friends of mine lost their mothers, another lost her father, and yet another friend learned that her father was full of cancer and only has two months, if that. I almost dread opening my Livejournal or even Facebook.

Is it so wrong of me to be "glad" that most of my family has already passed on, except one brother in very rocky health and my 89-year old aunt? Would frankly not be surprised to get a call about either of them.

Reading on FB that a classmate has passed away suddenly

My 21 year old son (who is in the Army) called me tonight to tell me he wasn't going to be transferred to another station and he was pretty down, which makes me sad. What makes me really sad is that when I said "I wish I could give you a hug and it would make things better" and he said "I wish i was still little enough where a hug would make it all better." :(

It made me sad to find out that one of my next-door neighbors has apparently just committed suicide approximately 90 minutes ago.

[cinnamongrrl]

Finding out my aunt has been in the hospital for five days...they think she had a stroke....

Also...hearing that in those five days she hasnt been washed up even once. They moved her to a better hospital...thank god...Im making arrangements to go home. This is killing my mother...

[cinnamongrrl]

After much testing they determined my aunt did not have a stroke; she has lung cancer. Her sodium levels went awry and apparently that causes some serious symptoms. Confusion etc. I guess bad sodium levels is a sure sign for lung cancer...soo...they found it.

No idea what comes next. My mother's other sister is dying of colon cancer. Now this..

Sigh....prayers will be happily accepted by myself and my family..

[FemmeBibliophile]

The sudden feeling of loneliness.

[Ginger]

I don't know why, but I started pulling pictures of my family off my FB page and cropping them so they just show me and my dad.

[Zimmeh]

Realizing that im still adjusting to how this year started.

[PatrickIver]

Being right. :(

[FemmeBibliophile]

The fact that we can't control what happens in our lives or when it happens. Sometimes, you just got to take it as it comes and roll with it!

[cinnamongrrl]

I got a friend request on fb from someone I dont know...so I was perusing their profile to see how I might know them. They had a link to a facebook page belonging to a ypung boy, Dawson Moore who was struggling with cancer. After a little while, I found that he had actually passed from the disease....I just think children should be exempt from all things horrible. There's plenty of time to deal with that stuff as a grown up...

My mom told me my aunt's prognosis today.

She has a very aggressive cancer in her chest, its in her lymph nodes, they are doing a brain scan to see if its there too.

They are giving her 1-2 years to live. And her older sister wont likely make it through this year...

My mother will be a wreck without her sisters.

[JustLovelyJenn]

I'm getting too attached.

[cinnamongrrl]

This morning I was up way too early and thought of my lady I cared for before I left Asheville...

Her family said they'd keep in touch...they never do...

But I googled her name and found out she passed awaya week before I returned to Asheville..2 days before Christmas...

I'm veey upset that the agency didn't at least inform me so I could pay my last respects. You really can't help but love the ones you care for...

I find it so incredibly sad when something so hard to get is tossed aside like the hetrosexuals do. Unhappy? Don't try to work it out, divorce! See someone cute? Don't remember your vows, flirt and fall in love!

Sigh...my friends are divorcing, and now we'll have to choose sides.

Sucks to be me. :(

... all the people getting cancer lately. my uncle was diagnosed with stage 4. I haven't talked to him since he cheated on my aunt and left us all, but from what I understand he knows its coming soon. he's giving away everything and getting divorced. so sad.

My aunt passed away in the very early hours of the morning. She had been battling cancer for years. My cousin, Dave, was her son...and when he passed I think she just stopped wanting to live...

Worst part was my mom's voice. She's heart broken. She told me she lost her bestfriend...

very sad...this girl was at her engagement party...

Hearing certain bird calls....and even the sound of the hinges opening the door...sounds like a small meow...but its never her...

Thinking something was there.

Watching the news about Freddie Gray is disgusting. These things seem to be happening at an accelerated rate, even though the whole country is watching more closely than ever. It's depressing to think that the frequency probably hasn't increased, we're just more aware of it now. You'd think some of these guys would tone it down, if only because of the increased risk of getting caught.

I just watched this week's Greys Anatomy. Huge tear jerker. I have to prepare myself for next week.

[JustLovelyJenn]

Knowing I can not help her right now...

[Hominid]

Waking up.

[JDeere]

Knowing I won't see her till Friday or Saturday. Ugh I don't like being apart from her.

A close coworker I've worked with for 20+ years has an 11-year-old daughter who is dying and there's nothing that can be done to stop it.

Sweet "Miss K" has trisomy 13 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patau_syndrome) and it's getting the best of her. The doctors gave her less than a week to live when she was born—ha, she showed them! Well, I got an email this morning saying it looks like it time for her to leave us and that she's putting up a hell of a fight. I'll slide by the hospital at lunch time to blow her a kiss and see if my coworker neeeds anything. A few of us do this each week.

Who knows? Maybe another miracle is in store for this family. I hope so.

And I know death is a part of life that we should accept, but it's hard as hell when it's an adorable and sweet 11-year-old child who's never harmed anything nor anyone.

Feeling really alone.

Circumstances are forcing my daughter to return back to Massachusetts....

I hate the thought that it could be another year before I see her again...

That I filled my tank full of gasoline yesterday to see today's price was 10 cents lower :(

Knowing that someone you really do care for can treat you like you don't exist anymore.
Someone you love and will care for no matter what their faults.

While hiking with the dogs, the new pup Yoda walked into my hiking stick...he thought I had hit him with it and pulled away from me. He actually got out of his collar and started running away. I managed to talk softly to him and keep him from running off. It just kind of cements what my daughter and I both suspected. He was definitely badly abused. Im glad he is safe with us now...

[Venus007]

My good friend had to euthanize his dog. The pup wasn't feeling well and had to go to the emergency vet. When they did the work up he was riddled with cancer and had to be put down.

I'm watching the plight of the Syrian refugees...it is endlessly sad.

What I was going to post seems rather pointless...this is indeed one of the saddest things I have ever seen.

Wishing there were visiting hours in Heaven. I'm missing my Dad.

The last thread I read and posted in here on BFP..i'm feeling sick now.

Saw a movie about Nostradamus. He predicted that an alliance between Russia and Iran will create nuclear devastation. Russian troops have arrived in Iran recently.

My Tuesday morning client told me that her husband (who has Alzheimer's) is going into an assisted living facility on Thursday. And she will only need me every other week from now onm
