Thank you for a voice of reason
I think there are more than one or two of us in this predictament. Making the changes I'm trying to make right now is actually exacerbating the anxiety, but I know it's my only way out and in the long-run will alleviate the anxiety. My body and mind have been screaming at me for a year now, I can't live on Xanax to keep this job, I'm getting less and less effective and more apathetic. My spouse is supportive and has recently put his foot down on "no dinners at the computer" and "no vacations where I look at you hunched over a computer," and "tell them to take their vacation policy and stick it where the sun doesn't shine." I think I needed that nudge and am glad for the support, though I still feel someewhat guilty when I don't push myself to the limit.
Quietmoods, you're not alone.
Thank goodness, another voice of reason!
My husband did not "cop out", he provided more than enought support, insurance, braces, etc. The deadbeat mother who didn't want to work is to blame here, she taught her daughters to take men for all their worth and then move on; nice role model.As long as she got the child support and played the "victim" she was happy as could be, yet still dumped her children off on other's to raise without notifying the father. Yes, he did go back to court, but guess what, when kids are in their teens they are allowed to decide where they want to live and dad was not one of their options. Too bad because had they have given him one ounce of respect and kindness there is nothing he would not do for them. Now that the well has run dry for them support wise we don't hear from them. Grow up, accept responsibility and get a job to help pay for school; millions do it and have survived!
No, Robin...You're the VOICE OF REASON on this topic and
And you're saving me the trouble of posting since you're beating me to it.
Keep posting and keep the reality checks coming, please!!!
Lunches for DH in the wilderness? sm
What are some ideas or what do you all fix for your DH for lunches? Mine has no access to microwaves or anything like that, just pure wilderness, but I need some ideas of something filling besides sandwiches, lol
What exactly is he doing in the wilderness and does he have a stove?
I backpack a lot, and know how to feed myself in the wilderness. What is DH doing? Is he hunting or camping? Based at a cabin, or staying "on the ground" in a tent? Does he have a portable stove for heat? Is weight of the food an issue as it is in backpacking? Is attracting critters an issue? Food smells can be problematic depending on what activity he's doing.
I don't know the details of this outing, so I may be way off base here. I ask forgiveness in advance, if necessary. But, if your DH is experienced in this sort of thing, he really should know how to do this for himself. If he doesn't have experience, I hope he's not going out there alone.
Everyone has a right to voice their opinion - (sm)
No need for you to debate - just state your opinion and move on.
Anyone who never has to raise their voice to get (sm)
I have an 8 year old an almost 11 year old and my husband is gone a lot. They are basically good children, never get in trouble at school except occasionally for talking, don't really do anything malicious or mean. But sometimes the bicker incessantly with each other and many times I feel as if I have to tell them repeatedly to do something and finally have to get a mad voice before they listen -then their feelings are hurt because I raised my voice. Right now my son is crying because I told him he has to help clean the house before he can have friends over this morning (he is almost 11). On school days they don't want to help because they have been at school all day. On weekends they don't want to help because those are their only days off. I am making them help even though they don't want to, but why the tears? It makes me feel like a mean mom, but I can't do it all myself and don't feel I should have to. 
I think Blake has great voice and
a very unique style all his own. He deserves to still be in the competition.
Oh, the voice of Darth Vader!
I've definitely been spending way too much time on the Medquist board! Thank you everyone who reminded me about James Earl Jones and the finer things in life. Isn't it amazing that he has a problem with stuttering but has managed to develop such a beautiful voice? See what some of our docs could do if they tried? When I'm done working for the day, I think I'll listen to his narration of Aaron Copeland's A Lincoln Portrait. Beautiful music, gorgeous voice.
A truly magnificent voice and talent. nm

I CAN have my opinion and give voice to such.

Just say "Dave ain't here, man" in your best stoner voice... nm
haha
Rachel Ray also drives me nuts with her voice.
I like the woman who does Barefoot Contessa, calm and relaxed with a soothing way about her.
Gene Simmons' son. He has the MOST awewome voice.

that's not surprising; he has an awesome sounding voice

I thought Adam's voice was SO annoying.

small voice from the back... "I think I'm going to be bus sick." Everyone else... "STOP

Craig Morgan....Great voice and passion! ..sm

Song: Almost Home
 Cat
Album: I Love It
(Craig Morgan/Kerry Curt Phillips)
He had plastic bags wrapped 'round his shoes
He was covered with the evening news
Had a pair of old wool socks on his hands
The bank sign was flashing "5 below
It was freezing rain an' spittin' snow
He was curled up behind some garbage cans
I was afraid that he was dead
I gave him a gentle shake
When he opened up his eyes
I said,"Old man are you ok?"
He said,"I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runnin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
'Cause I was almost home..."
Then he said,"I was just comin' round the barn"
'Bout the time you grabbed my arm
When I heard Momma holler son hurry up
I was close enough for my old nose
To smell fresh cobbler on the stove
And I saw daddy loadin' up the truck
Cane poles on the tailgate
Bobbers blowin' in the wind
Since July of ཱི
That's as close as I've been
"Yeah, I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
I was almost home"
I said,"old man you're gonna freeze to death"
Let me drive you to the mission
He said,"Boy if you'd left me alone
Right now I'd be fishin'"
"I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runnin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
'Cause I was almost home"
"Man I wish you'd just left me alone
I was almost home..."

I heard the voice yelling out about broken record
and I figured Kara was saying similar statement as she had for previous round. Had no idea Megan's brother. I, like you, could not believe how she was acting and basically think she shot her own self in her foot. What music producer would take a wannabe and try to make a star out of that? Besides do not consider her that talented at all.
Yes, I watched that. She has a beautiful voice. A real joy to listen to!! nm

Basing on talent, I think Taylor Hicks has a phenomenal voice.

The voice of Darth Vader was James Earl Jones.
DEEP
It's a catchy tune, she has a unique voice, different sound blending 60s Motown and current lyric

But finally came around
I've decided I didn't like having my son be in "special" classes because I couldn't believe that I would have a child who would not do well in school. Selfish, stuck-up, I know. I "let" him be put in speech therapy, and they put him in a special class for learning how to cut with scissors. Eyes rolling here. Dealt with the same school for 5 years and frankly he wasn't learning squat. This year didn't start off any better so we moved and I put him in a new school. He is doing wonderful! They are actually forcing him to challenge himself and do work. I don't care what they call the classes. They are helping him get to the level he needs to be for him, not for any district statistic. He's a much happier kid now that he isn't stressed about being able to participate in school.
Finally!!!!
which dog finally got from Ute and joe.

I'm finally over that flu and then
the cold after that. Zinc tablets did help the cold; it was only bad about 2 days. Zinc didn't seem to help the flu at all, and by the time I figured out it was probably one of the flu strains it was too late for Tamiflu, but it had progressed to bronchitis so I was put on Keflex as well as an inhaler. The inhaler works, but can cause insomnia and crankiness.
I finally saw it today ...
I was off today. First I watched it when DH left the house to run errands and I was supposed to be showering. Then I watched it again with DH tonight, never telling him I'd already seen it because he'd be disappointed that I already knew what was going on! But I still misunderstood a line between Juliet and Hurley. I thought Hurley said he REMEMBERED Juliet from the dock, when the hoods were put over their heads and they got shocked, and then she said it was her day off, like her day off from working as a doctor, so she joined in the fun of shocking the prisoners! Which I thought was wicked humor. But DH said Hurley said he DIDN'T remember her from the dock. I would have thought she was there, but maybe not.
Anyway, what proof does Juliet have that her sister's cancer actually came back? I don't remember Ben proving that, except with paperwork, which could have been faked. And why were we looking at a heart rhythm strip to see if her brain cancer had returned? Wha? And the way I was reading Juliet when she was with Ben, his manipulation of her actions didn't mean she was back on his side or necessarily going to do all of his bidding, even if it she might appear to be doing what he wanted. After all, she was alone now either way, and seems like she needed to join up with the group for herself. So when she said to Jack she was in it alone already, I think she could have meant from Ben, too. She's just trying to survive and find a way back, and this group wants to get back as bad as she does.
But I'm not addicted to this show or anything ...
yea, yahoo, finally....lol...nm

lol, finally something for us that is the equivalent to
California bleached blondes with big boobs?
Keep looking!
lol
Finally somebody with my problem. (sm)
I alternate between Suave clarifying and Wella Regulate shampoo that is probably only sold at certain salons or on line. It cleans and treats your scalp without damaging your hair. However, I still have problems if I skip a day. My hair guy says perspiration is damaging to hair, and I'd never heard that before, but what every condition I have MUST be shampooed every day, which really sucks at 45 years of age.

Cute cat! I finally got a pic of my other cat who was MIA in the last pic!
Here is our middle boy, Bailey. He was MIA in the last pic, and he is the one who gets into the most trouble, but is also one of the most affectionate ones! I think he may be bipolar LOL!
Finally got rid of one after several months
Had to buy a cage trap online and bait it. Eventually got lucky and put something in there it was in the mood to eat, and it didn't manage to spring the trap that time. BF took it for a ride and released it somewhere far away.
Now there's a possum looking to get in....maybe I need to get a dog, my house seems to attract critters.
Yup! I have finally realized it! SM
It's funny because she will always call or instant message my husband or I whenever she needs something! Just a few weeks ago, out of the blue she called and asked if my husband could take her to Home Depot to get some materials because they wouldn't fit in her car and we have a big mini van with a roof rack. I told him not to do it because she is just using us! It's so annoying!
The same thing happened to us when we got our new plasma TV last year! She came over and saw it and said, "Oh I heard those things don't last too long." She always has some sort of rude comment whenever she is jealous! I'm so done with her!
Also, she wanted me to try to get her son's girlfriend a job in transcription. She thought she could do it just because she could "type really fast." I told her that there was no way she would be able to do it if she doesn't have the proper training to learn all of the medical terminology, drug names, etc. Her response was, "Oh, she doesn't need that. She can type as fast as you!" I guess she really is just a jealous, disrespectful person! The sad thing is, she is much older than me! I'm 26 and she is in her 40s! Amazing!
I finally figured out how to add a pic...
I love everyones pics of their pets, so here's my girl Sara sleeping with my son. She is 7 years old and we rescued her from the pound when she was 5 months.
Maybe not out of the blue. Maybe just finally had

I thought they were finally
going out of style?
My boy is FINALLY coming around . . .
The last year or so he has been quite obnoxious and I was thinking what happened to my compassionate young man? Now he is 12-1/2 years old and the smart-alec is disappearing, or at least he doesn't rear his ugly head much these days. It's just so different with boys that I am not sure how to handle it. I could help my daughter, because I knew what she went through, but my boy . . . that's a different story!!! He has been kinder, his voice has dropped, he is breaking out, oh yea, hormones are kicking in. I think boys don't get emotional like girls though, they get mouthy and aggressive. There's your difference. IMO
Well he finally left....sm
He asked when my husband would be home and I said tonight and he left. He is staying somewhere else. He is getting an apartment next week 30 miles away from here he said so I am glad. I hate to say it but I am tired of babysitting. I got to where when he comes and won't leave I just stay in my office.
Finally.............thank you!! Gut instinct!!

Yah-hoo! Banner Day for me, finally!.
I thought I was going to receive my first social security check this Friday but thinking I probably got the numbers wrong for direct deposit, I called social security yesterday and the guy said I would be getting my check on the 22nd. I am pessimistic and thought it would not be there but blow up the balloons, shoot off the fireworks, it is here this morning!!! I am off today so planning to put a chunk of that first check towards me and my vacations for this summer. I have now worked a total of 48 years now and counting. I am just a happy lady this morning.
Yes, I finally went to the ophthalmologist
It is drusen... not good news... will lose central vision sooner or later... Ask your doctor to check this out.. They have to keep watch on it through regular check ups..There are no signs or symptoms, except found on eye exam, and there is no cure. Please look into it. Good luck to you!
Today our youngest finally got her first car
Today our youngest finally got her first car. DH and I bought it for her a few months ago and have been slowly fixing it up in anticipation of her getting her license. So today we finally gave it to her. Hubby went and got it insured and titled before he left for the week. He stopped in at the bank to tell me he'd gotten it all taken care of, and mentioned he was going to take the extra set of keys with him so they'd be safe. I said "No, you know she's going to lock the keys IN her car and need us to rescue her! Please leave them home where I can find them."
So he did.
A couple hours ago DD called "Mom, is there another set of keys for my car?"
"Yes, why?"
"I locked my set in the car and I'm stranded... please help me!"
How did I know?
Sold the property, finally
Well, I guess the man was wrong for wanting me to accept the $110,000. I have sold the property today for $140,000. That is a chunk more than I can now think of ways to spend- just kidding, planning on putting new flooring in, paying off most of the home where I live and paying my bills off. Hooray!!
Finally, it seems to go as "we" the general
I think Lakesha or Jordin, in any order will be next 2, and Blake and Melinda final 2. I like them all, so I dont care who wins.
Glad you're finally going to get ...sm
resolution. Remember if they try to hand you a check don't take it.... take CASH only!
I'm soo glad you finally got what you had been seeking!
congratulations! Perserverance pays off sometimes! Good for you. They were probably hoping you would give up and write it off, but you won this one! yaaeee~sleep well tonight!
Yeah, finally had a colonoscopy.
That was after working for a boss who was so nuts she told employees that when she and the other supervisor walked into the room where they were busy scheduling patients on the phone, they were expected to whirl around in their chairs and face the supervisors in case they wanted to say something to the room. We were all pretty sick trying to work with that wacko. But the colonoscopy showed my colon was anatomically so twisted he couldn't get past the sigmoid anyway, so it's always going to be something to stay on top of. Don't need a stressful job on top of that.
Time to finally put the Sox to rest...
and move on the World Series. GO TRIBE!
You finally cured my overeating! LOL! NM

I can honestly say that my brother has finally
gotten his act together, well for the most part. He is still a lousy father but in just the past 2 weeks he has been making an effort. I hadn't thought about not having to buy a casket. The last funeral I went to the lady was quite elderly and lived with just her dog. The dog had been quite ill for some time and it was almost like they were just hanging on for each other. After she died they had the dog put to sleep and his ashes were buried with her.
