Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
I feel like I took a wrong turn in my life :(.
But there’s nothing I could have done about it. I couldn’t have chosen any other way. No matter how many times I would re-do my life (if one could have several lives), I would always have chosen to help my mom for the years I helped.
However as a consequence, I have a huge backlog. So much trouble in my work, in my life.
I guess I didn’t take a wrong turn. I just feel…like one is punished for being a good person. So many people out there, doing so well, because they help no one.
But I wouldn’t want to be any other way.
I guess as a conclusion, I didn’t take the wrong turn in life. But boy do I have a lot to catch up on.
I had to have a check-up yesterday. Perfect health. In the waiting room was a dad with his child (9 years old). I remembered when I was 9: I never would have imagined my life in so much trouble later, and as a direct consequence of having helped others. Made me sad.
I’m also so surprised by the number of bad people I’ve met in the health“care” business, while helping my mom. I’m surprised every time by how bad some people are. Surprised also that they treat my mom and I that way. When you treat people well, you kind of think people will treat you well, too.
I don’t know what I need to change. Maybe nothing. Maybe I just need to keep solving my work troubles. Then I’ll feel better, and I won’t feel like I lost.
I’m doing fine. I’m way behind in solving my problems. It can’t be solved in one day, or one week.
It’ll happen.
Do we get to have an AITA too?
(or incompetence)

What a wonderful send off! Enjoy your retirement. You have worked hard! You deserve time for you now. I love that you’re starting off your retirement with a massage!
Wishing you all the best in your next phase of life.
Hanlon's Razor, oh that explains a lot.
Drink more water every day. So many health issues can be prevented and alleviated by drinking more water. 😍
Geaux Saints! Who Dat!!!
I wonder how our old coach will do in Colorado coaching the Broncos. Payton is a great coach! He led us to win the 2010 Super Bowl.
Awhile back we had a really crappy football team! I remember when the fans wore paper bags over their faces and we called out team, The Ain’ts instead of The Saints! LOL 😆.
We are die hard fans though, no
matter how our team is playing. We show up for the games!
First strike: 7-day suspension
Second strike: 14-day suspension
Third strike: Permanent account closure
Agree. But I don’t think they want to get rid of it.
One of them, however, I believe did something to go from suspended to eliminated, as she went from "anonymous" to GONE along with all her comments.
But, yes, the policy is stated clearly. I think that it's OK it stays top of the news feed, because it's a reminder, and we can't claim we didn't know the rules.

I know we all are wishing her the very best with that and looking forward to her return.
