Your thread looped back up what did you find out when you talked to your Congressman? I am keeping you in my prayers.

I am going to copy that off for my Care-giver's group. They will get a kick out of it because we have soooooooh many things on our mind all of the time. Have you ever listen to the standard Dementia test?

Because he is a creep and you let him talk to you. Ok Fool you once shame on Him Fool you twice shame on you. Cut this guy off at hello or even before if you have caller ID. Move forward don't bother doubleing back to be nice or curious about this jerk; he obviously isn't worth it.

Honey what goes around comes around. People that can email garbage like that are not angels in real life and someday they are going to be miserable old farts and so many people will hate them there won't be anyone who cares. Live well it is the best revenge.

I found buying things in smaller serving size packages helps me.

Also try staying out of the resturant. Always too much food.

Find exercise you like; gardening, furniture refinishing, playing and active game, and or even cleaning.

Pick one day a week as dessert day. Preferably a day you are not home where you have a lot of access to get to food.

Put a long mirror in your bathroom. If you see yourself naked it is hard to deny the truth.

Try not to eat to punish others or yourself.

Buy better shoes so your legs don't hurt as bad when you do get and opportunity to exercise.

Don't kid yourself; even if you can't get out of bed you can exercise.

If someone is feeding you garbage wheather it is food or greif it is going to make your booty the size of a dump truck.

I was contemplateing if feeling love, even if it eventually goes bad, is not worth the at least short term boost it gives your heart. A little bit of hope seems to go a long way.

I think I missed something here. People leave because they think there is something better somewhere else even if it is just less pain.

I can't imagine a boy liking a charm bracelet but then when my sons were a certain age they carried around their girlfriends little "charms" rather it was a eraser in third grade or varying forms of jewlery; or as the years went buy parts to their cars to a lock of her baby's hair because her baby's daddy cut out and he was the pinch catcher at delivery. I am sure there are other things they carried around that I didn't know about lol.

Don't feel bad California feels like an above ground grave yard.

Smoking with a kid with asthma is just stupid. It makes the kid sick and costs a fortune in medical expenses not to even mention the moral issues of tortureing the kid. Ought to put the parent in an mask and let them struggle to breath for an equal amount of time. I am so glad I don't have to be a kid in todays world. For all the good stuff they still get treated like yesterdays toys. It makes me believe in forced birth control. If they are going to abuse one kid they sure as heck will abuse the next. The only justice is these kids do usually end up picking their parent's nurseing home. That does seem kind of fair sometimes.

My adult sponsor child called today and said that after bringing her biological mother out of her native country that she barely spent time with her before moving on.

I feel so bad because I really don't know words to tell her how sorry I am.

I always hoped that if reunited that her Mother would be grateful and overjoyed to be a part of the life my child of choice has made of herself. She is a considerate, responsible, careing, respectful daughter, wife, and mother who holds a bussiness together and contributes to her community.

I also believe she is sensitive to her biological Mother's needs and I believe deeply loves her. We certainly never asked her to be or seen her be anything but. Doing her best to maintain a long distance relationship with gifts, letters, phone calls, and videos of her life. Traveled to see her Mother even though it is terribly costly and disrupts her life.

I wonder if I have some how betrayed her by not prepareing her for this heartache. Life seems so unfair to even the innocent. After all her Mother sent her her as little more than a child. She is my hero. Thanks for letting me vent.

Neat thing about profiles they can easily be changed. Most people have a short memory but don't think that if you take something off your profile that it is gone. Unfortuneately it hangs around for a very long time in the great big world of "BIG BROTHER". Since you might want to not see some things in the future especially your career future I would err on the conservative side if you are still of a pre retirement age. You would be surprized how many kids have figured out how to hack in to this site and have fun spreading your bussiness around at your kids school. That doesn't even address ex's that probably can figure out who you are and your password if they want to bad enough.

Took a day off from the nurseing home. I didn't do much but rest but I really needed it.

Sorry it happen to our friend. You have to have a tough hide to be on line. Have to keep it real. If someone is doing a big emotional trip on line you can just about bet at least part of it is fantasy and you are getting to be their entertainment. Pathetic and discourageing but you have to not let it be a big part of your life or it will really get you down.

I won't speak for all women but I can tell you why many women would have trouble with you drinking at home until you get a buzz every day because I know how I would feel.

I would feel bad about you having a job you hate but I have no power to change that.

It would dread you coming home because even if you do nothing overt the tone, the tempo, the mood you put off will be angry and that makes everything toxic.

Since you are not proud of your job I can't by osmosis enjoy it either so their is and entire part of your life I can't enjoy.

If you go to a job you hate that supports me you make me inflict pain on you.

And shame on me. I am a nice person I don't want to live off your misery.

If you come home and get a buzz on you are only bringing half of yourself to the relationship.

When you have a buzz on you are housebound so there is no hope that we will share anything beyond our home together.

It makes me housebound. Even if I haven't been home all day and maybe want to get out and enjoy I have no choice.

You have made me a co-dependant widow of the bottle which carrys no grace or dignity.

When you have a buzz on you don't listen actively so even though I might have something I really need to communicate to you you are only going to absorb it through an alcohol filtered haze.

If I try to play or even move around you with your efforts impaired I can be stepped on, spit on, tripped, or something knocked over on me. You can walk up to me in the kitchen and ruin what I am cooking, scalled me, or ignore something I have worked all day to prepare for you.

If I have sex with you your breath stinks and your body performs with marginal co-ordination and function. You don't respond, follow, or react when you are too rough, forget what you are doing, and may not even notice what my responses are.

I have to constantly worry about getting pregnant because if I am not healthy and safe living with you neither will my child.

If I do get pregnant with you I have a hugely increased chance of misscarriage or a baby born with profound birth defects.

If I do get pregnant the chance that you will under the influence kill me are higher than in almost any other country in the free world.

I have to worry that while you have a buzz on you will break things, scotch things, even set them on fire. You will spill alcohol which stains on the furniture, the rugs, the electronics, and my plants. You may even poison my pets by leaveing it where they can lick it up. You will convienently forget the drool, vomit, urine, and feces that you leave in your trail.

Because I know eventually you are going to loose your job because that buzz hungover the next day too many times I can be homeless.

If you happen to forget to keep getting your buzz on at home you can be arrested and the "family" car impounded.

If you kill someone I will be treated like a piaraha for living with you and not stopping you.

If I try to stop you the likelyhood is you will permenantly injure me, disfigure me, and maybe even kill me.

You most assuredly will not let me leave with any equitable division of property because you have a distorted view of what is yours, mine, or ours.

You have spent so much money on alcohol that our credit is shot.

Because while you had a buzz on you didn't know what the problems were pileing up it is too expensive for counseling to resolve them.

That living with you drunk makes me more suseptible to migrains, hypertension, high colesteral, back injury, vaginal injury, yeast infections, heart disease, bowel problems, arthritis, cancer, and depression .

Because the chronic alcohol poisoning will cause kidney failure, incontinents, and early dementia; and require nurseing home care my home will go to the state for catestrophic care costs.

And because even if I leave you I will forever feel like a failure because I will never again get back the years, never again get back being single, and never really understand that why in the world when I was trying as hard as I could the buzz was more important than me. Society will hold me responsible for somehow some way not making you happy.

Kids will put the dardest things in the dardest places. Crayons, which can cause a serious infection or perforation, are particularly hard to find because they don't show up well on xrays and sometimes children will mimic what they see their parents do so be particularly careful what you let them see you do; suppositories and tampax. And they are heck to get off of wallpapaer so another good reason to keep them on the table with supervision around younger kids. P.S. A clear face mask can help you pull crayon off most surfaces.

Ya might want to lay off on some of the "bad" stuff or you are going to end up like the Duke. No fun for sure. Take care and drink lot of water it won't rust your pipes but might help clear your system. Little shut eye probably wouldn't hurt.

I looked at your profile and I think in twenty years you will say OMG what was I thinking. You are a very pretty girl and your trying too hard to be sexy when my guess is you have a lot else to offer but the guys that would matter too are still wondering what they can say but I am trying not to look down your shirt. Chalk it up to a moment of youthful flirtatious abandon and maybe try again.
