I worry that our community is loosing its ability to support members when they have a tough time.
How can we discuss our pain openly and receive support from each other? I understand the TOS and not posting drama. However, when a member is at their wits end where do they go to share their hurt? Yes, for some counseling is a luxury they should access. Yet since it is a luxury it isn't always an option. It is just on my mind. Some of folks are intensely private and even our BFP "friends" don't know they need help until it boils over. |

My upcoming finals. At least I don't have any double days this quarter however I do have one day where I have a final and then a presentation afterwards. I do not do good standing in front of a group of people and speaking not even people I have known like in this situation. At least it is a subject I know about and should be able to pronounce all the medical words involved. If I can get an A on the anatomy final I will actually pass the class. This makes me happy since I know the material and the only reason I have such a poor grade in it is because well life got in the way this quarter and the instructor is a hard ass that does not allow you to make up any missed exams no matter the reason.
I hope everyone has safe travels back home from the reunion today and tomorrow. That is also on my mind.

The house republicans have had ample chances to pass a continued resolution to allow the government to stay in operation. A blank slate continued resolution to keep government funded systems running is once again in their hands.
They have refused to vote to keep the government systems running. Nowhere in the constitution of the United States does it say...congress can choose not to vote for the people. Not to my knowledge and memory. The hastert rule is not part of the constitution. “Hastert Rule,” which saith that no House Speaker shall bring to the floor any legislation not supported by “the majority of the majority” (i.e., the majority of the Speaker’s caucus). The tea party minority is controlling it. The majority of the republican congress did not win by a majority of the people voting for them. They got elected because the way the districts were redrawn. Yes, Remade for the repubs in the minority( of those districts) to get elected. Just in regards to fiscal policy: Shutting down the government will increase the deficit by 30 billion dollars over a ten year period. Obama has decreased the deficit by 50 percent since he has been in office. The last time we had a budget with a surplus and created more of a surplus, was with Clinton. Solution. Congressmen and women who refuse to vote, for the majority of the people, should be labeled "Non essential" government workers and thrown out of congress. Non Essential. Really a nuisance. |

Words
My life is divided into two sections, that's all I have room for right now. When one event is over I have another chomping at the bit to take its place. So many serious life 'things' going on and I've had to push a couple to the back burner to deal with others.
Today I'm reflective about my words. In one case I'm pleased that there is nothing I've left unsaid. In another, I wish I'd kept my shit to myself. C'est la vie, what is done cannot be undone. |

Been thinking about the government shutdown and how so much that the current administration (exception being the POTUS) has chose to NOT do is affecting the general populous.
Also thinking about those who struggle to find work and balance expenses when the economy is such shit right now. Thinking about how I fit into this all, and what I can do on a macro as wel as micro level to help.

I really believe that you are making a blanket statement about community members not being able to support each other. I have been supported through A LOT of health issues that I have had in the recent past. TOS does NOT say that we cannot discuss our lives when we are having a rough time. It says that if you are having personal drama with another member of this site that you cannot make it public and air your "dirty laundry". I totally agree with this TOS because I have personally witnessed some pretty ugly stuff when people break up. It becomes actively aggressive and passively aggressive shit slinging. It is unproductive and serves no purpose in the long run that everyone knows about the drama between exes. That is just my opinion.
As far as where do people go when it "boils over", TOS does not prohibit someone from privately discussing whats going on. It can be done in PMs with "friends" here. The whole site does not have to be privy to it. And if someone is "intensely private", why would they want to air all of this private stuff anyways?? That line of thinking for me makes no sense.

A lot, but the most pressing of them is how much I could use a cocktail.

There is always a lot on my lately. But, something amazing has happened as well. I finally feel like MOST of the time I can handle what I am handed... Its not that what I have to deal with has gotten any easier, its only that I have finally put my foot down and insisted on doing a few things for me. Its amazing how the time at the theater, or a night out with my friends each week really makes it possible to get through each week without feeliking like I am loosing my mind.
Self discovery is never ending, and I am just beginning to understand who I am again... after all this time.

Getting through the rest of the week when I have hit my wall at work.
Spending some much needed alone time with my partner this weekend while my step-daughter is in Canada with her dad. How I need to get more of Ace Brewing's Pumpkin Hard Cider And sleep
