I hope that you do get evaluated. Some people think meds are a sign of weakness and I have had people tell me I was just not motivated enough...blah blah blah...On the other hand, there are also people out there who once they find out you are on a med like Adderall they wanna be your best friend and expect you to share...Nope...no can do! I have had my share of ex-family members with drug problems begging me, etc. So best to keep this info to yourself is what I learned. No one's business but your own what you take and why.

Yes...there are a few people who enjoy beating us over the head here from time to time. Like my mom would say...Kill them with kindness! I think I will continue to follow that advice, as my mother is almost 80 and in better shape physically, emotionally and looks like she is in her 60s. That attitude has kept her gray hairs to a minimum and her body free of medication.

Good luck to you NCMT...I always look for your posts. You are a positive and uplifting person and I am happy to respond to your posts! Also...this board really helps to break up the day doesn't it! LOL

Compliment given

Had to share this with everyone. It made me laugh. Last week I made a dramatic change to myself. I got my hair cut. It was below my shoulders and now it is just below my ears - quite a drastic change as I've had it long for 20 years or more. Here's what my husband said. "I really like your hair cut like this and you should keep it short and not long and stringy like it was". HA HA HA HA HA. He's got such a way with words.

Just had to share that one.

Thanks for the compliment....sm
I am glad you all are being honest about the fur. I just need to know what people like. Everyone is different. Some people want the fur. I had already said I was going to do some more simple ones. I kind of thought some people like simple. I wasn't sure but you have all helped me a lot.

It is a compliment to me when people say my daughter looks just like me! sm
I know she doesn't because she is gorgeous but I did *used* to look like that years ago.
