Good for you! My journey this year sounds similar to yours

In Reply to: Here is what...sm - Not long for MT
Perhaps we are put in these situations to learn as we do and then suggest these things to others. You will have a chance to be a psychologist. I will still be a quiet MT, but I hope in my changed attitude about things people notice and ask how or why this happened. Attitude of gratitude is exactly the same technique as change your thoughts change your life. I think we all have an abundance of peace in our heart, we just have to learn how to get there. Most of my life I had no idea. I realize now that it is the want or thirst of control we have to diminish in order for peace to flow. And I don't mean lay on the couch all day and expect things to just come our way. I mean change the need for our having to constantly fix things and allow things be fixed for us in the manner of the universe. Anyway, great for you! And I hope that as the OP, we all someday find happiness in our hearts because that is where it all starts, and then like a flame can become a great big warm fire!

I use BMin for about a year now - similar problems to yours sm
I have broken capillaries on the cheeks and find that I still need a light base coat of foundation on those areas, then use the BareMin on top. Works PERFECTLY if I pre-treat like that and lasts a lot longer. I'm almost 50 and people say my skin looks like I'm in my 30s. I love it.
Sounds rough, and similar to
what my twin sister has. Have you seen a headache specialist or pain specialist? That's what I want my sister to do, because she ends up with rebound headaches. Viscious cycle.
That's was pretty good . . similar to the SM
menopause song I wrote a few years ago. I wish you could all hear it! I was actually asked at my friend's birthday party to get up and sing it, but would not because there were too many people there I did not know! Thanks again!
I think the basics are very similar. Good luck with your restart!
:)

I have a 9-year-old son that sounds just like your 10 year old...
Lately he has been so negative about everything...trying to make him have a good summer and whenever I take him somewhere, he is just a brat when we get home...I think they are called tweens at this age...not quite teenagers but have the attitude like one---LOL
Just beginning my journey in elder care
93-year-old dad fell six weeks ago (luckily, didn't break any bones). However, he is now dependent on a walker. My 86-year-old mom is getting burned out from taking care of him.
They live in another state and I just visited last weekend. Starting to get an idea of the situation and what they need, what I can do (from a distance), with visits every two months or so.
A friend had a lot of good suggestions. I also am reminding myself that I need to take care of myself (am dealing with a stressful job situation) in order to be able to help them out.
That sounds just like what we saw! What year was that? (nm)

Thank you very much, I am begining my journey with my 81yo grandma and really needed that. thanks

Can I tell you how good santa (or should I say God) was to me this year? sm
I received many gift cards and gifts. I received the gift of unconditional love from my children. I received the gift of friendship this year from my best friend who cries when I cry and will keep my secrets with her until the day she dies. My mom is in my life now and is spoiling me ROTTEN. She came into some money and has used a lot of it on my family - making up for lost time as we did not get along well while I was growing up and then I moved away.
All of these are great, great gifts. I was also given the gift of health. I was the worried mom from a few weeks ago who was asking about abnormal mammograms and lumps. I am 33 years old. Today, I nervously received a digital mammography (my first digital one). My doctor went ahead and scheduled me for an ultrasound too this time (I've had both already). After the mammogram this morning I was waiting to head to ultrasound when the tech came in and said the films look great and no need for ultrasound. God is soo good. Of course, she said my doc will receive the formal report in about a week, but still. Isn't that awesome news?
The most ironic thing about all of this? I am not deserving of any of it. None of it. I know there are so many others who are in such pain this year and for that I am truly, truly sorry. May you find peace, health, happiness, and a close relationship with God this year. I look forward to the coming year. If you don't have God or find Him, may you have love in abundance this year. All of you.
Not a good year or Christmas...
...yep, I'm feeling sorry for myself. I didn't receive a single Christmas card or gift. My only child and I decided to forego gifts for each other and just concentrate on providing gifts for my granddaughter. A friend said she would call last week and we'd go to lunch, but I never heard anything else from her. Makes me realize I really have no friends and am not worth remembering. Just a card would have made me feel better.
On top of that, I fear I'm going on such thin ice with both of my part-time jobs that I'm afraid every day I go in, I'll be called into the supervisor's office and fired. I just can't keep up with the transcription as well as the other part-time person has done. I'm in debt--really have not had a good-paying job in 2 years and things have built up on credit cards. I used to think I was pretty intelligent--but now have doubts about that, even. I'm ashamed about my predicament and have avoided people for over a year, so I'm sure that's part of my isolated feeling. What can I do?
Where I go the prescription is only good for a year - sm
so that would mean a yearly exam if you want to get new glasses, or contacts. I don't have a problem with it. Now before I had insurance I only went every couple of years, but luckily it was added to my husband's insurance 3 years ago, so now going yearly....I am 43 so on the cusp of bifocals....have been squeaking through so far but next year may not.
You really have about 4 good lady singers this year
and the above is definitely not 1 of those! Where is all this attitude coming from? You find the better singers, the less "tude" you have. Enough said. I figure Miss Show it All and the lady in red, OMG like Simon, I do not know her name, are the ones going tonight, hopefully.
Lucky you. You got the one good one they made that year.

sounds good
I think we need everyone to give their favorite sandwich recipe so we can try them all.
my own favorite is radishes, avacado, sweet onion and provolone cheese on whole wheat toast....
i'm getting hungry
Sounds too good!
Bare minerals are very nice, however, I did not like the installment plan deal. Be careful what you get into. We work like slaves by the line, so I am very careful where my money goes. Look beautiful!
That sounds so good...sm
Now pair it with a triple layer hummas (found at super Walmart) and wheat pita bread/flatbread for dipping. It's very light fare, nutritious and super yummy.... Cat
Yum, that sounds good
My parents are from out of town and they stay overnight, so in the morning after the kids open their presents we make pancakes, eggs, and bacon or sausage.
Sounds good
but I do not think that would work with the two people in my household. I was laid up for 3 months following a major foot surgery (total non-weightbearing). I had to sleep in the recliner to be comfortable etc for 3 months. Even to get someone to help me to get up and down to utilize the walker to get to my wheelchair was a chore. I told them next time I am going to a nursing home, at least I could get my hair washed. They did absolutely nothing while I was laid up. I am still trying to dig out.
Sounds good! . . . sm
I think most boxed puddings have a recipe for pudding and a different one for pie filling. I think I would use the one for pie filling because it is thicker. My MIL makes something like this and I love it! Good luck!
that sounds GOOD

Sounds good
Thanks for the input. I really don't want to mess with batteries either, so I'll see what I can find in the passive version. :)
thank you it sounds good nm

Thanks - sounds good, and so does the one below:-) nm

Sounds really good. (nm)

That sounds so good.
Is it diabetic? lol. Thanks, I'll give it a try.
How about a good web site for an 11-year-old sports-crazed son??? nm
nm
Along the cookie line, have you baked anything new this year? Good enough
s
That sounds like a good plan...
but I would be exhausted! I have a very large family to shop for!!!
here's an old adage: If it sounds too good to be..NM
.
sounds like you have a good time together
that is so funny!! I love stories like that
Sounds good, then just be patient....sm
and please let us know when you are 6-8 weeks into using it....I so hope it works for you, it worked for me and 2 of my friends (they had lost their hair to chemo), one of whom finished chemo in November and has nearly 2" of growth all over her head now and thick!! (post-Fermodyl)....
This sounds soooo good - sm
do you get this out or you make it yourself? If you make it yourself, how?
Sounds like one of those good ole boys
sitting around with a can of beer, got a cigarette behind his ear, wearing that wife beater T-shirt, either trying to go to the race track or watching his fav, Dale, Jr. You have it going on, don't you?
Sounds like a good plan then!
Now you won't feel the need to modify it.
That sounds like a good idea. Thanks.
mexican sounds good.
I love guacamole. I slice them in my salads and top them on turkey burgers too.
sounds like you're doing good
If you can make jam cake and cornbread, you are a Kentucky gal now! I live in Northeasten KY in a small town - though not as small as yours - I lived here my entire life and when I married, we moved to Shreveportm, Louisiana for a couple of years - so that was culture shock for me!
Great - Sounds good to me
My accountant will be filing ours within the next few weeks.
Sounds like a good plan. . sm
When I was going through something similar, I had to have see it with my own eyes. No matter how suspicious I was, he would always dismiss everything. Again, I really hope there isn't really anything going on!
sounds like a good idea to me! nm

Sounds almost as good as my sweet
and sour baked beans I posted a while back. Yeh would like recipe for this dish.
That sounds like a good book.
I just finished Obama's biography and have started his "Audacity of Hope"
Sounds like you have a good marriage....
and have not had the chance to experience being alone. I also would never get married again as I love living alone, comfortable in my own skin and do not need anyone to make my life "whole".
I also think it is older women who feel this way. I think when you hit your 40's, you find yourself and realize your wants and needs that make you happy. You are not constantly making other people happy and ignoring yourself.
As for me, I could not imagine living with someone again. It would be an intrusion on my life - a life I love.
You really have no right to say "how sad". You are happily married and I congratulate you. I am happily single as are many other people who do not have to depend on a man or anyone for that matter for their happiness. Happiness comes from within.
Sounds good. I've been looking at them again.
The coal stove heats our whole house except the bedroom when the door is closed at night and the fan DH put through the wall is so noisy, you can't sleep for about a week until you get used to it. 
Thanks for the info! I'll let ya know if we get one. Have to do some cajoling now. 
That sounds so good. Thanks for the recipe. NM
Here I've lived in Texas most of my life and never made homemade chili pie. This sounds delicious, and I will definitely write down that recipe! Thanks again for sharing!
Sounds good, email me too!
and/or post a link on here. :)
good article Rosh Hashonah-*Head of the Year*
http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/09/12/FDEERVK1G.DTL
Sounds like the good 'ol nolovirus or whatever - sm
it is called. I had a similar experience just a couple days ago -- stomach felt horrible, went in bathroom, sat down to go, felt a huge buzzing in my ears/head. I ended up just laying down on the floor for a while until I did not feel as faint, then went back to my business feeling a bit better after my lay down. Luckily this time I did not throw up (had this once already a month ago, threw up 8 times on and off the toilet-- fun stuff). The few times I get dizzy in these circumstances I just lay on the floor until I feel better, usually only takes a few minutes. I hope you are feeling better.
I'm hungry and that sounds pretty good right now...
xx
Ok, sounds good, but what about the warm drinks? nm
..
Well it sounds good but a true caring
and giving person that gives from the heart and not merely to impress would also probably not have thrown a post like that in the middle of ones where people are obviously having great financial difficulties. LOL. Sometimes ya just gotta laugh.
Bless you all that are having money problems and I hope things get better for you soon. And, remember, this too shall pass.
