God bless you on your path, all love begins with self-love, so you are really on your way.....sm
We should have less time putting needless labels on things, paying attention to dividing lines, and pratice more love, understanding, and humiility....we will all have things to answer for, no one is perfect, but I believe we are all precious and loved by the Lord, who knows all hearts, and has infinitely more compassion and mercy than ANY of us can comprehend. Be happy and take care of yourself, sexuality is such a small part of who we are in this world, but you have to be happy and at peace.
I love the animal channel, really love it and
my sweetie and I both watch but I absolutely, even if I know nature and the balance of, want to see small animals being killed and eaten and so forth. I know it happens but I either change the station or pick up the paper and read or find another way so I don’t watch. Also watch Discovery, love animals and love those shows!
I love you! hahaha I love your response! You can come over here sm
and kick my butt the next time I "allow" my husband to make me feel crap for whatever reason - which there seems to be many - he wouldn't complain if I made more money than him because his lazy behind wants to stay home and do nothing all day except to play golf. He tells me all the time, "when are you going to own your MT business so I can golf all day."
But, he is very mean, also. He hurts my feelings constantly and doesn't even care. He makes me drive around in his truck with bald tires and I don't like doing that for fear of a blow out and he'll just tell me, "well, don't go anywhere then." We have the money in the bank to get new tires, but he won't get them.
I love your comment, though!
And for all of you who will say, "well, leave the jerk!" It isn't that easy. We have 3 boys and I would be homeless. I only make 300 every 2 weeks MTing. We have a lovely home with a lot of space and besides him living here, the kids and I LOVE it and love each other so much.
Well, I LOVE a challenge too, Would love to debate this one day with you! sm
haha
Seriously, I was a staunch atheist for 20+ years. It's funny, though. I, too, believe that we are all electrical energies and that energy doesn't "die" and so, theoretically, where does your "electricity" go when you die, i.e., your spirit? I believe that "energy" within us is our spirit life - and that must go somewhere, right? It doesn't just go into the groun - which is what I thought for so long.
Anyways, when I learned about our "energy" and how it must go somewhere, I was really testing the waters of Christianity up to that point. After hearing about that, I was convinced that there must be an afterlife. I believe we go either of 2 places.
Anyways, I love ALL people of all religions, regardless of what I "think" or "believe." I don't think any less of you because of your beliefs! If I were to believe in a God who forgave me and loved me in my mut and mire, who am I to judge and criticize those who think differently of me?
I've always liked you no matter what your philosophy on life was....
Love people who love dogs.

I love the dressing and I love lemon pie..sm
My mom's lemon pie that is. I also love this dessert called Texas Delight or some people call it different things but is is layers of chocolate pudding and cream cheese and whipped cream. The food is my favorite part besides the watching my son open presents on x-mas.
Young love/older love
I think it has a lot to do with your age and his. I married hubby at age 59 and he was 49. Best thing I ever did but say if you are 30 and he is 20, hmmm in that case might not be so workable. What are the ages here?
Give her love, love, love and if she...
doesn't want medicine - don't force it. Does she like to be stroked or does she like her belly rubbed? You better than anyone else know how to make her feel loved. Give her that. If her times comes before Monday, all the better for you and her. She'll die peacefully in her loving home. But, if not, be prepared to give her the last loving gesture you can - if it's time to, than let her go.
I had to put my 13 year old Lab down two months ago. It is one of the hardest things to do. But, you'll know when it's time. My dog, Shadow, told me he was done, tired, beat. He sent me the message quite clearly. But, still I waited, not for him but for me! Finally I "heard: him and did what needed to be done. I sobbed for hours and then just suddenly stopped, I realized I was crying for me - not for him! He had had a wonderful loving home with "mom and dad and brother". He was old and tired and wanted to rest. He deserved that rest! So, it's done. Yeah, I'm still sad. But I know that it was the right thing to do. And, yeah, call me nuts if you want - I know that when it's my time that Shadow will come running, knock me over, sit down on my chest and lick me silly!
Now, I'll go and give my cat lots of love and remember the fun I had with Shadow. My thoughts are with you - make the best of the time you have with your loved one's, be them human or furry! My thoughts are with you.
Glad everything is okay! nm

Wow...Glad your not my mom!
Life is way to short. I had a stepmother like you. Once I lost my mittens and it was freezing outside and I had to walk. This wench actually got in her car, found me on my way to school in a snow storm and took the mismtached pair that I had found in a box. She was an awful woman and I never saw her again after I was 16 and left the house. I hope she has as miserable a life now as she deserves. Don't be a petty witch with your children. They will resent you in the end, may be even slash your perfect tires....
Glad to help!
I never really watched Frasier. I know, my loss from what I hear. Sounds very funny! Will have to start watching the reruns :)
glad i'm not you
Well aren't you just a ray of sunshine and full of compassion. It's not always about the almighty dollar. You get what you give in life and that includes taking care of ALL of God's creatures. You have no heart.
Glad I did it
I never went to the ER (I have to be almost dead before I go), so I suffered about 4 episodes before I went to the doctor. I didn't know what it was. Each attack got worse. After the last one, which was horribly painful, I went to the doctor,and didn't hesitate to get surgery done. I had a "rock garden", the tech called it. It was PACKED with stones! I had to wait almost 2 months. I was so afraid to eat I lost 12 pounds in 2 weeks! No exercise either! THAT was easy! Having never been in a hospital before as a patient, nor even having had any kind of procedure, the anticipation of the surgery was MUCH worse than the procedure. But I was a healthy person with no previous surgeries. I had almost no pain after, and took it easy. I went back to work after 3 days. I don't know what the risk would be with your recent surgery. It's something to talk out FULLY with your doctor.
You'll make the right decision.
I am soo glad it's

I'm glad you did. (nm)

Glad to see you came out okay!
Was your dad in the picture, by the way? You said it depends a lot on the parent, which is true, but it seems you did well for yourself on your own without much help from your mom. I have always believed that kids are born with their own set personality and demeanor, and that the parents can help foster good kids and teach them right from wrong along the way. Seems you were born a good seed.
thanks - so glad someone could help -
this is the only thing I miss about an office setting - someone always knew answers when I didn't. Home Depot, here I come! I was going to build chicken wire cages around them, but it is chipmunks that won't help either.
I had them done and am glad I did...sm
In high school I had allergy testing done which showed I was allergic to dust and mold, and we were able to control my symptoms by making changes around the house to cut down on these (i.e. plastic mattress and pillow covers).
A few years ago I developed other allergic symptoms and had food testing done which revealed that I have 3 allergies to chemicals in foods, and once I eliminated those food sources the problems went immediately away.
Good luck to you. Not everyone who has allergies needs allergy shots, but if you do they should help you. Even my dog had allergy shots and they helped her significantly!
So glad for you - sm
It's so hard for the families to not hear anything for such long periods of time.
I completely understand.
Prayers for your nephew as well as all of our servicemen and women.
Glad I Could Help
I was channeling my 4 year old. LOL.
Glad I could help a bit.
It is definitely going to be longer than 2 weeks though. Not sure on the recovery time for a vaginal so I would ask your doctor. Hopefully, your situation can be resolved without it. Again, good luck.
I'm so glad you took her
and the vet did the right tests. I'm sure you'll both be feeling much better now.
Oh, me too, so glad to see others. (nm)

Glad to help :)
I joined one of those DVD clubs to start my collection. I mostly buy the movies I know I will watch over and over again.
There are only certain movies you can do that with and these are some of them for me.
Enjoy!
Glad you are doing well too! (sm)
I also have to remind myself I have it because I am fine. Sometimes I wish I didn't even know about it! I only got tested because I knew I was at risk. So you have had it about 8 years or so longer than me, and still doing great so that's really good!
I'm so glad she seems to be doing well
If she were in serious pain, she would let you know. You love her enough to do the right thing for her. So let her tell you when she is ready. Until then, treasure each moment with her.
Glad she's a little better
She'll definitely know when she's ready. I had posted before that I had lost my cat back in March. I'm still not over. Like one of the other posters, before she died, I think she had a stroke. She died at home. Just be there for her. On her last night I told her it was okay to go, and she must have listened because she died a few hours later.
glad
I am glad you had a nice heart-to-heart discussion with her. HOpefully, this opened the door to many more conversations and it sounds like may be her friends feel they can be honest to. I just hope you can get rid of this loser and hopefully she can stay away because my concern is if she wants no more will he except that. HOnestly, i hope she is not just saying that to make you happy and I don't know her very well so who am I to say. It sounds like she is being honest with you. This was her first time correct? If so, it sounds like she realized what a huge mistake it was. People, who are you to critize her for having this guy looked into. If you had the resources you would to! I know i definitley would. Well hopefully she will listen to her brother and I would stay out of it and act like you know nothing and see if she will come to you and talk to you about it. Hope it all works out for ya!
I'm glad you were seen right away!
Now maybe you can get some relief...at least temporarily until the root canal. Ugh, makes my stomach roll to even think about it! Hang in there!
Glad you are okay now

Glad you liked it...nm
but very glad to know this!!

glad
I'm glad some of the commments helped you. . It sounds like you have a good grip on things. . I hope everything works out for the two of you.
Glad you liked it! - sm
I watched it a bunch of times late last night. The French guy & his friend were visiting SF & did the filming, but I know a bunch of the SF downhillers. Too bad Lombard St. is paved with bricks, isn't it? I felt they did a little too much footage of the slalom skating in Fort Mason Park, but he IS amazingly agile.
I'm glad you liked it!. . sm
I was sick of Manwich too! I have made it without the green peppers and onions and it was okay. Thanks for letting me know you liked it!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one!
I stopped taking the Benadryl 2 night ago, and I'm hoping to see a change in my hair! My hair is usually EXTREMELY thick. In fact, every person who ever cut my hair always commented on how thick it was! Since taking the Benadryl for the past few months, I have noticed my hair thinning and falling out (Not huge clumps, but usually one or two strands when I run my hand through it). I was also wondering about maybe hard water causing it, but I think it was the Benadryl!
glad
I'm so glad the Beagle won. . my dad had beagles and I always loved them.. his last one he had was named Bozo Billy and he gave dad a lot of comfort when he was suffering with lung cancer. .
Thanks!!! I'm so glad you like them (sm)
I always buy fabric at the fabric store so I don't know about the fabric you can order online. If you do order some online, will you let us know if it turns out to be good? (thanks!)My children just told me yesterday that they think I should make them a new one every Christmas :)
So Glad
to see that i am not the only "insane" person out there who will willingly throw $700.00 at the vet for an emergency appointment (and x-rays and blood tests) just to make sure my cat is ok! keep it up fellow animal lovers!
Really glad I am not the only one
I thought it was fun for a while, and wouldn't mind doing something like this from time to time but it seemed to be turning into the game board and not the gab board.
Wow am I glad my MIL is not like that.
She is awesome. I can't imagine having to deal with stuff like that, and I certainly can't imagine having a husband that lets his mother treat his wife like that.
Sounds like some of you need a new husband with a backbone.
LOL thanks, glad to know i'm not alone!!! sm
kids grow up so fast, i just want to enjoy every single minute of it! i'm close to both my boys. i have a very close relationship still with my parents, i'm 36. i hope my boys will still be close to me when they grow up and move out.
Wow - glad I'm not alone
While I don't wish this type of life on anyone, it's reasurring to know I'm not the only one who goes through what I go through. I'm probably luckier than you by not having kids (although we tried very hard to have kids when we were younger, just never worked out), but at least that's one extra thing I don't have to worry about. It's hard to describe what I go through on a daily basis. It's not anything specific to point my finger on (well maybe it's 100 things). He doesn't physically abuse me, he compliments me, and tells me I'm very organized and stable, and on a daily basis we laugh and joke around, horse around and to anyone who sees us together we're in love, but over the years he has done things that I have not been able to forgive him on. First, letting his mother tell me she never liked me and will kill me if I came between her and her son and he never spoke up for me. He once accused me of purposely breaking one of his plants and then trying to hide it (and that was a 3 hour fight with him doing most of the yelling). I felt like yelling back at him. You know I'm an adult, I don't need to hide anything. If I break something I will come out and say so, but I'm a person dang it. I have feelings and if you care more about your plant then my feelings at least now I know. Once I forgot to get potatos at the grocery store and we got half way home and I told him and he yelled at me for a good 2 hours all the way back to the store and home. When we got to the store I told him so I forgot to get the potato's, that was no reason for him to treat me like he did. As I walked into the store I prayed that an explosion would happen or robbery and all I wanted to do was die. I got the potatos, got into the car, and he continued on yelling at me all the way home. I told him I didn't deserve to be treated like that and he just ignored me like I hadn't said anything. The list goes on and on and on and on. It doesn't happen every day, we fight maybe once every month or two. Once I told him I wanted to see a counselor (this was maybe 8 or so years ago) and he told me why in the world would I do that, he's my husband and we're supposed to be best friends and I should trust him enough to tell him everything (then because I wouldn't he tried accusing me of "doing" something). I told him I could not sit down and talk to him in depth about my feeling because he would always give me the same line of "you're thinking about this wrong. You should look at things the way I do". Once I was so angry I told him "you need to look at things the way I see them" and he told me "no, because your wrong". I told him I wanted a baby. He told me "we don't need a baby, look at it the way I do, we should be greatful not to have kids". I've heard this story now for 20 years. I'm so tired of it. Over the years I think I have just become numb. I don't think I've grown out of love because I care if he's hurt and I want him to be happy, but as for myself I just find myself "numb" most of the time.
So I don't know what it is. Maybe I'm going through a midlife crisis. But at least I don't feel anymore that I'm weird or alone as I see other people are facing the same things.
Wow! I've never told anyone ever any of the things I just wrote. Felt good to get it out, hope I didn't drabble on and bore any of you.
