And how are you feeling?

A little less worried after hearing his voice. :)

[Happyfemme]

Sad but relieved...

My mom passed away late last night and her pain is gone now.

I am so sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family.

[Reach *BANNED*]

Not feeling good at all. I think I have the bug. Waiting for a call back from my doctor's office to see if they can help.

Well, I heard from them- only for the lady to say that she sent a "note" to the nurse? a note? I realize they are busy but it would have taken less than 10 minutes to call something in for me. So now, I still feel like death.

If you are under the weather, try Airborne or Emergen-C. They boost immunity and can help shorten usual maladies.

Really, really angry at someone I've never met, for causing a ridiculous amount of stress on what was supposed to be an amazing weekend.

Hopeful that Reach and I can still eke out a little bit of amazing as we get to know each other in person.

[Reach *BANNED*]

I am feeling MUCH better than earlier today!! Time for some stress free fun with My girl.

Oh and we are going eke, eke, and eke some more!!

[Reach *BANNED*]

Feeling good. Really good, actually. Today will start a 4-day experience that I have looked forward to for weeks. I will not allow anyone or anything to touch that.

This weekend is going to be special in all connotations of that word.

... and there is a surprise involved. ;) (and I want to tell someone about it badly, bah)

[FireSignFemme]

Fantastic!!! The air conditioner is still doing great! It's 101 degrees outside and I'm sitting here in sweatpants and a t-shirt and still feel cold enough that I might even have to put a sweatshirt on. I've turned down the dial but it's probably going to take some time for the apartment to warm up. Oh this is heaven. I was able to catch nine hours of uninterrupted sleep last night! Getting old isn't so bad it just takes a lot more supplies and equipment to age comfortably and gracefully that's all.

[Gemme]

Exhausted. Today was a crazy ass busy day. Hot too.

[Mopsie]

I'm feeling annoyed at this stomach thing I've had off and on all week. It needs to go now. I've been sleeping a ton and I've been spending all my other time in the bathroom.

I feel you on this one Mops (literally). I started the week out with it and it took a good 3-4 days before it started to let up. I also took Gemme's advice and started taking something to boost my immune system and that helped quite a bit. I hope you feel better soon!!

I feel happy.

I had a great day off and I indulged my every whim.

[Gemme]

I feel good. It's a beautiful, rainy day and I'm off of work. I've got a lot accomplished so far and feel good about my progress for the rest of the day too. However, I might take a teensy weensy nap in a little bit. Maybe. I'm still deciding so we'll see.

:blink:

I feel good overall. Taking a more objective point of view, I've pinpointed some issues and am taking steps to correct them and to work towards making a better future for myself. I have one more connection to sever and then I am really and truly free of something that's been hanging over my head for a while now. I can't wait to move forward and to get on with my life!

I was a lil less than fab a lil while ago. More like :blink: while dealing with an irate customer. Talking … at length... with this person has me putting forth a question and theory...

Do y'all think that people who are rude… discourteous... kinda mean... are likely to be unhappy people? By rude I don't mean just their emotional state... upset... irate... annoyed... frustrated … etc... everyone feels like that now and then. It's my theory that people who act like that... rude... discourteous... mean... and are so repeatedly... must be pretty unhappy people.

[FireSignFemme]

I don't think so. I think being mean to others is what makes them happy. If someone like that ever shut up and starting playing nicely, I think that would make them unhappy.

I don't think so. I think being mean to others is what makes them happy. If someone like that ever shut up and starting playing nicely, I think that would make them unhappy.

I agree with both of you in a chicken and egg kind of way.

Some people are mean because they are unhappy and being mean and making others feel less than makes them feel better about themselves, which does make them happy but it's an empty happiness. It does nothing to fill the soul.

But...some people do get genuine pleasure from pricking other people's happiness balloons. Those people are usually villains in movies but there are mere mortals out there who strive to replicate that behavior.

I try my best to kill them with kindness. I turned my grumpy UPS delivery man around like that. I smiled really big and called him Sunshine every time I saw him and asked about his life, his day and, when he came back from vacation, how that went. He went to Aruba, btw. Lucky duck!

Now, he jokes with me and smiles when he brings stuff in instead of mean mugging and being a stink head. It doesn't work on everyone, though.

Currently, I am feeling pretty good. Today's my last day off before a long stretch so that will change in a few days most likely. It's harder to be happy when you're hot and tired and a little hangry, but I'll try.

[Teddybear]

Concerned. Went to the dr to get results from blood work. Seems I am extremely anemic and one of the other test point to other test. I am at the age my mom was when she was diagnosed with cancer. I have already done that once I dont want to do it again.

I am doing my best to really not thinking in that direction but we all know how that goes.

Thank you for letting me venting.

[RebelDyke]

who's excited? are you excited? cuz I'm excited! My dog is even excited. Back to school excitement!

ok MAYBE it's all the double shot espressos I've had

[Lyte]

That is very true. There are some who get joy from making other's miserable. :|

But how 'bout this ... so if Joe is happiest when he's making other's miserable, wouldn't that mean that down deep, Joe is an unhappy person? Or, at the very least, there's a big something in his life (job, relationship, health, etc) that is making him unhappy and that the joy that he derives from other people's misery is a symptom of his unhappiness?

My theory suggests that the reverse is true too. That happy people ... at least more happy in their life than unhappy... are not the people who treat others poorly. That happy people are not (generally) the douchebags in our midst! :p

I don't think so. I think being mean to others is what makes them happy. If someone like that ever shut up and starting playing nicely, I think that would make them unhappy.


P.S. And I'm feeling pretty darn good too! ;)

I'm feeling a bit ... retaliatory. :fastdraq:

Overnight some POS left a voice mail saying that in addition to the marketing letter we sent him he'd like us to send over one of our female employees so that she can... assume a certain position ... so he can...

Disgusting and profane wouldn't come close to describing his voice mail.

See, this is the type of person who I figure has to be deeply unhappy... and yes, probably a lil disturbed ... to act out that way. Chances are this POS doesn't even realize just how unhappy and unfulfilled he's feeling deep down... below the bravado and acting out. A normal and/or happier person would have just torn up our junk mail and moved on with some worthwhile in their life.

Ya know ... typing that out now has me feeling more pity for this moron than a desire to reply... respond... react... to him. Good session... thanks! :p

I'm kind of curious about the companies you's are sending your marketing letters too. Are these cold calls that are targeted and if so, where do you get your mailing list from?

[homoe]

U5TqIdff_DQ

[Lyte]

Hey homoe :)

We only send letters to private individuals and only to those who recently purchased or refinanced a mortgage. When either of those things happen some if the info related to the transaction is considered "public knowledge." It's information that anyone... literally anyone... can obtain by going down to their local county deeds and trust office. Alternatively, there are a whole host of data companies out there that will electronically "mine" all kinds of public data and sell it. My company is only interested in name, address and sale price... of those who recently bought a home or refinanced a mortgage. We send them a letter saying who we are and what we do. If their curiosity is peaked they can call us or go to our website for more info. That's the only marketing we do. We don't cold call anyone... thank God.

Ironically... when I refi'ed my home a few years ago I got a letter from my own company. I told my boss... really?! Iol It's all very automated... data in is data out.

After a good tumble down the bottom two steps on the stairs and an ER visit later- not as good as I was this morning. Leg in a brace (immobilizing my knee) which got twisted like a soft serve cone and My shoulder is now totally immobilized with another wrap around brace. Nothing broken. However, My shoulder has two hairline fractures.

Did you know that hardwood floors have no give?

You are certainly welcome. I am always getting banged up and it makes me really feel for others when they have an incident.

Nothing half-assed about you, my friend. Each injury would be characterized as severe by itself. You pulled double-duty. :(

Feel better soon but make sure you take it real easy and give yourself time to heal well.

In a word: sore. Sleeping was rough, but I got there eventually. I think a good soak in the tub today will be in order.

This is my first day of vacation, and things are falling into place.

My girls called me today, to say "we got that one day covered, so dont come in"
Those are the same girls who told me to buy another swim suit. I'm going to spend a few days at the beach. I'll be looking super cute!

I've got a babysitter for the diabetic cat.

All things a go! I could high five myself!

I’m feeling a bit conflicted right now.

I had a pretty freakin’ awesome weekend, but I also feel like I am catching a summer cold.

Ain’t nobody got time for that.

[Silk]

Thank you Gemme,
Yes it will be easy to remember though we were to wed a bit earlier. The delay ended up serendipitous as it gave me two extra days to make the journey.

[Gemme]

Well, I feel fortunate that today is going to be a bit overcast and that it will remain in the 70s with a slighter lower dew point. I'll be working outside for most the day so that will be helpful and a little more comfortable than usual.

Also, I feel loved by the fur babes. A little too much sometimes....thanks, Loki!....but he stalks and harasses with love.

So, not much going on, really.

[Kenna]

Really excited!
One of my dearest friends has arranged a vacation to come down here for over a week. We reserved a doggie friendly suite at a Lodge near the Blue Ridge Parkway.
The Lodge is a perfect place to stay on top the mountain, within a short drive to Asheville and surrounding places that promise lots of fun places to explore.
We can either sit on top the mountain in our rocking chairs, or go get into trouble somewhere.

Very happy and supremely content. Chores done quicker than anticipated leaving time for an unhurried, relaxing lunch. Great Chinese American food and wicked fun company.

Computer out of sick bay, what's not to like about today. :)

[Esme nha Maire]

Simultaneously stressed, tired, and happy. Stressed due to finances and having to deal with benefits system, tired due to the lateness of the hour, and happy because I came across Deanne Smith's videos just this evening.

This is the first one that I came across: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGPNK9qE9mI

and then this, where Deanne is still excellent but upstaged by a kitten; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkWy8nRWPGk

I am still concerned but even more so. I have to go in for more blood work 3rd time in 3 weeks and today they asked for records of 14 years ago when I had my cancer surgery. When I seen the dr the 1st time we talked about it and she said it was 14 yrs ago we wont need them. That just makes the unknown even scarier.

Very, very sad. I work all weekend then when I come home Monday morning, I have to spend the final hours with our dog Baxter. He has cancer in both lungs and the vet is coming to the house in the afternoon to put him down. I don’t want to but he is suffering too bad and struggling to breathe, even with the meds they have him on. My spouse is heart broken. Her daughter died last month from cancer. Now our sweet special needs dog is going too. We are burning him out back next to our other Boston, Brandy, under the big oak tree. Thank goodness I’m on antidepressants now or I don’t think I could take it.

Gayandgray - My condolences on having to put your beloved pet to sleep. I have been there (twice actually) and you are right in regards to the suffering. I had to make that choice, too. I had to realize it was time to let go so that my pet(s) did not suffer any longer. Does not make it any more bearable, but there is solace in that. :candle:

I'm so sorry to hear this! I've been there and it's such a difficult decision. Just know that you are making the RIGHT decision for Baxter, even if it's hurtful for you and your spouse. It's not ethical to let an animal suffer for our own emotional needs. When my Oliver's seizure meds started actually giving him seizures and he'd cycle through several in a row over and over, I knew it was time. Be with him to the end and make sure everyone gets a chance to say 'see you later'.

Terrified. Later today a friend is coming to help me look at my finances because I go into utter blind panic if I try to do so by myself. I'm so scared about what the result might be. And tommorow I have to go to another Universal Credit interview, and that's scary. And I need mental health support and maybe a little practical support for a while, and I'm anxious about applying for that. It's like inside about a month my life has fallen apart from being tough, but heading the right way, to shit I'm not sure I can cope anymore. My moods are up and down like a yo-yo.

awww that sucks. Take the advice you gave me. It worked. Hope you feel better soon.

I gave you stomach advice?

:blink:

Well, I took antacids and Pepto and drank more water and ate something creamy to counteract the acid and eventually it eased up but it took a while.

I used to have really bad episodes years ago and it was a nightmare because the doctors could never lock down what the issue was. Eventually, it went away on its own but not before I had some pretty scary experiences, including blacking out a few times. No bueno!

[TL1]

In this moment..... pretty damn good

Ummmmm I thought you did? It was a few weeks ago I think- you told me to take Emergen-C and something else to help bolster my immune system?

Oh wow. No bueno, for real. The whole blacking out makes me think it has something to do with IBS?

Hope you are feeling better AND we missed you last night!!

[Reach *BANNED*]

Oddly enough I feel pretty damn good considering the shots I did last night. I thought for sure today was going to be rough. But, nope- My girl and I went out to brunch and then did some shopping.

Thank you! I wanted to go so bad too.

That was because you felt like you were coming down with something and they are general immune boosters. I take a couple of tablets the day after I've gotten less sleep or am feeling run down and it perks my system right up. I highly recommend taking a dose if you feel under the weather or have done something to damage your immune system.

Oh, it was crazy for a couple years there. My symptoms changed and mixed and matched and made it impossible to diagnose. I had to do a food journal to see what set it off and it was useless because it was never the same thing twice. They thought it was an ulcer and one thing or another. Even the big C was tossed around until my doc said that he could spend a few grand of my money and still not know what was up.

At that time, I figured out something that would keep it at bay if I stopped it early enough, so it became about managing versus prevention or diagnosis. As time went on, it petered off until now, when I only get one--maybe two---instances per year so it's absolutely manageable now.

I still don't know what it was. lol I watch a lot of Dead Files now so it could have been negative spirits for all I know.

If you drink a glass of water in between each alcoholic drink, you won't get dehydrated and get a hangover.

Fun fact: I have never been drunk. Tipsy, yes. Drunk, no. I'm too much of a control freak.

:blink:

To be thread compliant, I feel a little bummed. I forgot when Walmart closed on Sunday and was preparing to go to the gym and then WallyWorld but the store was closing about the time I was getting ready to leave so I trashed my plans and will just do it tomorrow morning.

It's a hella waste of good eyebrows, though.

Mentally exhausted but pleased with myself 'cause I just spent an hour on the phone to my energy supplier trying to get an account anomaly sorted, and didn't go to pieces, even though I found it quite stressful!

[Kätzchen]

I am feeling fucking awesome.

I got all my proverbial ducks lined up in a row, and I'm putting in an over-the-top effort to do all I can to find the best place to live and I'll get there. Slow and Steady, wins every time, for me.

[Medusa]

I'm all keyed up with ANTICI-PAAAAAAATION!!

[girl_dee]

tired- not sleeping very well!

[Esme nha Maire]

Utterly baffled. I was going through a form to request help, without more than minor problems when I hit a question that I just could not make sense of at all, to the extent that I had no idea whether I should be selecting the yes option or the no option after the question. I know that they are, in general, trying to ascertain which aspects of life I'm having difficulty with - why the heck word the question in such a contorted way that it's not then possible to work out whether they expect you to press the yes or no button if you are having problems? Havent they heard of Keep It Simple, Stupid! ?!?!

I've left a message via webform, having found a way to mildly abuse the Councils system so I can explain what my problem is (because they didnt allow for the possibility anyone might have problems with that particular form!), but I've got a nasty feeling this is going to end up involving yet another phonecall :-(((

[MaddieRobbie]

Enjoying a slow morning that's turned into a slow afternoon. I worked most of the weekend, so it feels nice to linger around and drink another bowl of strong coffee while catching up on emails...

I'm still in loose yoga pants and a t-shirt (don't judge...haha).

To tell the truth, I am not quite sure. I guess I feel ambivalent.

[Gemme]

I'm tired as shit and yet, I'm still up.

[Orema]

Okay. I was up most of the night with an upset stomach and cramps in my foot. Of course, I started feeling better when it was time to get up. I made it into work but may not stay the full day.

Very sad for my dear, sweet neighbor who is grieving the loss of her great grandson. Broken hearted for her and her family.

I am feeling a LOT right now and nothing matches up. I feel happy because today is my Friday and I'm going to pick up Ocean's 8 at Redbox. Love Sandra Bullock! I feel sad because I have to do my job as an enforcer today and it will create sadness and anger for a couple of my customers. I feel annoyed because it was their actions, or rather lack of action, that led to this day and I feel that I care more about their things than they do. I feel accomplished because I changed up one of my insurance policies yesterday and will save myself almost $30 per month from now on. Score! I feel content as I look around my home and at my life. I'm doing okay. Really okay.

put some pimento cheese on a fresh hot dog bun ... drink a glass of strawberry milk to wash it down ...

I've been better ... listening to women in swing states justify their votes for Trump. They don't care about Stormy (or "who's zooming who," as they said) ... the only perfect person they can vote for is Jesus Christ. And even though they may not like a Republican doesn't mean they'll vote for the Dems. It goes on. I need a tylenol.

I am a little under the weather with high mold counts and bad allergies. I came to work anyway to finish my 2000 plus page report. Ha!

Without pimento cheese.

I feel okay but very, very tired. Sleep was an elusive mistress last night.

A bit sleepy.... even though I did sleep well last night. Feeling like this meeting today is going to knock me right out too. This particular kind is always so boring and even when not sleepy I have trouble staying awake. The kind where we don’t talk and we all just have to listen to the big boss people talk from their big offices from the other side of the country on a conference call in a big room. :dozey:

Day 2 of headache... about to take the big gun

[CherryWine]

Slightly like I’m on the verge (or in the midst) of an existential crisis...or awakening.

Basically, I am all up in my feelings, but I’m not quite sure how to handle it. Hey...I’m an INTP, and that is how it goes. Lol.

Anyway, I am feeling very grateful for people, past and present, who have helped me see things from a different perspective.

[Glenn]

Not too bad. It isn't everyday I'm given very weathered, over a century old, wood boards from an old fence to do projects with :)

My frame of mind is not great right now. I have an all day training session tomorrow and just before I left work today, I pulled up the email to see who else will be attending.

There will be two asshole men I cannot stand there. I know one will approach me at some point and try to chit chat. We were sort of friends about 10 years ago. Tomorrow may become HIS DAY to find out why I want nothing to do with him ever again.

I am trying so hard to demobilize my head and my thinking tonight. It is not serving any useful purpose. This task is turning into a real quiz.

Hey, how did this go?





I'm okay today. I've felt a bit sluggish the past couple of days but relaxed too. Now, I have fun plans for this weekend. Maybe a couple of movies to take in, crafts to buy and chores to do. I don't mind chores, except bathroom chores. Even when it's only me, it eventually adds up to ick.

:blink:

[Reach *BANNED*]

Today was a really good day. I am hopeful for some things to come to fruition next week. (crossing all I can- well except maybe My legs..*thinks)

[RockOn]

It went about like I thought it would but I did not act the ass.

The one that I thought would come over and try to be chatty did so and I ignored him. I really wanted him to press me so I could tell him the problem I had with him. At one point, I was thinking to tell him anyway but did not.

To be.honest, I did not want to spoil my day. I have had this one trainer before and she just puts you in a good mood, makes learning lots of fun. She is a retired local college professor. Everyone laughs like they are at a party.

I deliberately intimindated the other one a couple of times. I could not help myself. He does not realize I do this intentionally. This one is truly a pig! I don't know if you remember me talking about a guy that moved near my cubicle and snorted snot no less than 3 times a minute for months ... drove me insane. I called him the pig snorter. I think someone heard me tell my supervisor I planned to kill the pig snorter and relayed it to him. I would go over to his cubie, put a wad of Kleenex on his desk right in front of him and say,"our employer does not mind one bit if we get up, stretch our legs, walk around, go to the bathroom and blow our noses." He was moved to another area to sit near his team when a cubie was vacated.I was so happy!

Thanks for asking. :)

Stressed

Better than I have for the past couple of days. Watching the Kavenaugh trial wrecked me. I can't even get into it but it dragged me and kicked me around hard. I took yesterday off as a mental health day and I really needed that. I didn't really get functioning until I got together with some girlfriends in the evening. We all were shellshocked. Today I feel like my energy is back from the drain that happened and I feel focused and ready to get back into the fight.

I feel a little tired. There is so much pressure on me from work and home that I just want to escape.

I am feeling terribly annoyed and aggravated. I bought some Autumn Blaze Maple trees and have been up since daybreak measuring, checking spacing ... laying out where I want to place each one in general.

I tapped all my stakes in the ground, turned around and my youngest pooch, Jeffrey Alan, went along behind me, pulled up every stake.

At a year and a half, Jeffrey is still so full of puppy traits. I will be so thankful when he matures. I think my next dog will be at least a year old when I adopt her. Later on, Jeffrey will be getting a play pal. He has just about ran Jennifer Avery into the ground. She is a stout little pocket pittie - a bit chubby.

Really awesome! Enjoyed our trip to the Sunday market where I scored 2 antique solid wood doors for $20. Had a great lunch made by my roomie. Love getting projects done with my workshop. Picked out the perfect exterior color for my front doors, hopefully to be finished by this evening. And maybe I'll have time to hang my antique metal milk crates (upcycled shelves).

[FireSignFemme]

Relieved and happy. I woke to good news, my youngest and his wife are now first time home buyers. Before they were living in a 2br single wide trailer, on a rented lot. It was an older mobile home that couldn't be moved. It wasn't in a bad area, just one that left a lot to be desired for a young couple with small children. I worried about the the roof on that mobile. The new place needs some work, but it's in much better shape than where they were living, and it's in an excellent school district. His brother is helping them move today.

[imperfect_cupcake]

A bit out of sorts. A friend of mine died, one of my old crew- we are like cousins we've known each other for so long because we grew up together - and his memorial is being planned.
I'm not good with this kind of thing. People are talking and sharing memories and such and I just can't do that.
Its made me feel even more tired than I already feel with school and mum stuff. I'm sleeping in a lot and I desperately need it.
To be honest, I need a day or two on the couch watching crap TV drinking soup with a quilt.

Mum stuff ends on the 17th when it just becomes weekly visits with a monthly health care meeting tacked onto the end of a visit.

School ends on Oct 31st.

The Memorial is on Oct 21st.

I am SO going to fucking take a few days off in November and SLEEP/rest.

i feel rested but stressed as we had an emergency surgery last nite, her retina detached 1/4 of the way and a 4:30 eye appointment turned into a 9pm surgery


the surgery was 1 hour and i drove around the hospital trying to figure out where the patient pick up was after hours, i finally decided to park at the patient pick up area and go get food as neither of us had eaten since lunch

after picking up food i made it back to the waiting room just in time to see the dr and he said everything went well

now she has to sit in a special torture chair for at least one week maybe two

oh and she cannot drive for 8 weeks

I'm getting a little sleepy.

I'm getting a little sleepy.

Me too........

Me too........

I wish I could get sleepy.
On Friday morning, I was scheduled to have breakfast with my best male friend, a straight, smart-assed, kind hearted guy I just adore.
He knew I was gay, but he didn't care about things like that.

I texted him Friday around 9 a.m. to see if we were still on, then I went about my business, remembering to text him again every hour or so.
He owns a restaurant, so when noon came and went, I just figured he had gotten too swamped to answer my texts.
By 2, I was getting concerned so I called him at the restaurant.
His manager answered, so I asked if he was there. She said quietly, "He died this morning."
I had to ask three times because my brain was not accepting it.
Finally, I said I was coming to the restaurant right then.

He had suffered a massive heart attack and died that morning in bed.
I'd just seen him the night before, and now he's gone.
We were very similar in personality and senses of humor. He always used to say, "Bye, babe, I love you," whenever we'd say goodbye.
I am not so quick to say I love someone, especially straight guy friends, but I had just started saying it back to him that last week.

He was only 50. He wasn't supposed to go before I did.

We had so many things going--I was helping him do some marketing and designing some new stuff for his restaurant. I wanted to create an outdoor cartoonish statue of him, like the old Bob's Big Boy character.
I had just showed him the cartoon roughs and he was into them.
We were inventing new menu items for his place.

I had just talked him out of being a "Colorado Republican." He was going to vote a straight Democratic ticket next month for the first time, ever.

And now he's gone.

I wish I could unscrew my head for a month and just stop the political headaches and worries, and now this pain.

Thursday at my doctors appointment I received both a flu shot and a pneumonia shot. While I really didn't feel I had an adverse reaction to either, for some reason I just felt out of it all day Friday.

Good. I woke up feeling OK, I had a nice day out with some friends, and I'm still feeling OK now, no ups or downs or panics. Best day I've had in weeks!

[Gemme]

I feel pretty good but would feel better if I could figure out how to stretch time. Too much stuff to do!

WheatToast.......hugs. I am so sorry for the loss of your very dear friend! That is a huge void...and none of my words can fill that, just know you are in my healing energy vibes.

Wonderfully hopeful.

I have a headache because today was really busy at work.

But even so I am in a tremendously good mood. And for no obvious reason. I feel energetic and happy.
