Christina, please ask your husband to pick me up a 2" gate Valve. I need one for the get home engine exhaust. It's above the water line so we can use a gate valve as opposed to a 500.00 thru hull. har har, I am such a jackass.
anybody want to guess who sent me the 'teeth in the private area' joke?
I will tell you all this. Just like Cuz wrote about the 'infectious smile', choosing to goof around when we are sad and upset can be very healthy! It's the only reason I am still alive!!
Here is one more then I am done for awhile unless you need more. Thanks for letting me share with you guys love cuz
ASAP.....
Ever wonder about the abbreviation ASAP? Generally we think of it in terms of even more hurry and stress in our lives. Maybe if we think of this abbreviation in a different manner, we will begin to find a new way to deal with those rough days along the way.
There's work to do, deadlines to meet; You've got no time to spare, But as you hurry and scurry, (ASAP).... Always Say A Prayer. In the midst of family chaos, Quality time is rare. Do your best; let God do the rest, (ASAP).... Always Say A Prayer.
It may seem like your worries Are more than you can bear. Slow down and take a breather, (ASAP).... Always Say A Prayer.
God knows how stressful life is; He wants to ease our cares, And He'll respond to all your needs, (ASAP).... Always Say A Prayer.
My instructions were to send this to people that I wanted God to bless and I picked you! Pass this to people you want to bless.......ASAP! GOD BLESS YOU!
christina, I'm so sorry you are dealing with such bad family stuff. I have some of that shit too. I find it's best to either put it out of my mind or vent on here or to hubby about it. We're here for you sweetie. And we won't ignore you. Careful with them scissors. ;)
Thanks, no I'm not doing therapy anymore, but the family stuff is so awful. My husband and daughter are wonderful. And my cat. She is a cg, too. Yesterday morning, she was sitting on the dining chair where my Mother sits for meals. She was warming it up, because Mother is always so cold. It was so sweet. OK. I am cried out now. Thanks for being there. Going to cut hair. With Scissors. Love, christina
Christina, please don't worry so much. I have issues too that I deal with everyday and I have decided that therapy does not work for me anymore. I hear the same old same old stuff that I already know and then pay for it? Not anymore, I guess unless things get REALLY bad. I find this thread to be therapeutic. You're okay, sweetie. Like Bobbie said, relax. :) I know, it's easier said than done.
Oh Christina, you have not done anything wrong or disloyal! You are so sweet and don't worry! we are all thinking individuals here and we do what we want! If we are all rowing together it's a beautiful thing because we can be united in our care of someone who really needs a crew of people in their corner! figuratively, this is a big strong boat and like I have said before no one person is going to hurt it. Actually, a few have tried and I feel bad for them as opposed to angry or upset. If you are referring to when i said 'you have been posting your biskits off...', I am sorry if that made you think about something I didn't mean. When I first joined this site and before I came up with the Grossed Out thread, I posted on many threads and the more I wrote, the better I felt. That's all I meant and it DID bring me peace! I am not here to cause you any stress! You are safe and sound!
3 yrs old "Mommy I love you" 10 yrs old " Mom whatever" 16 yrs old "My Mom is so annoying" 18 yrs ols " I wanna leave this house" 25 yrs old "Mom you were right" 30 yrs old " I wanna go back to my Mom's house" 50 yrs old " I don't wannna lose my Mom" 70 yrs old " I would .... give up EVERYTHING for my Mom to be here with me"
this boat is rocking for REAL! windy here and there's a lot of commercial traffic on the river so about a minute after the ship, barge, tug or whatever goes by the wake shows up and we rock. Rocking the boat is actually very relaxing.
Christina! Relax! You're among friends if you let yourself!!
I still feel bad about what happened with the post where I gave my stupid advice, and then got a lecture, after I had apologized. I didn't mean anything critical AT ALL, and I think everyone has so much stress sometimes, that the energy collides and there is nothing to do but wait until it dissipates. Then, I wanted to know what the fuss was about with the person who was attacking the Captain, and I didn't see anything, so I went to their wall and posted a very harmless, neutral message, but then got to thinking I was being disloyal to the Captain. Curiosity killed the cat? Well, it's my problem. I am exhausted, in pain, and having a multitude of family problems with my sister, brother and now my son, too. I probably have a bit of the same paranoia my Mother has. Great. I have 3 more people in my house now, and I like to be alone. I cooked for a football party last night and it was as loud as a packed stadium in my family room. Mother was fine, but cried when she went to bed. She woke up at 3:30, 5:30, 6, 6:30, 7:30 all to pee, and got up at 8:30 for the day. Sorry. I'm crying now, and I have to go cut my husband's hair. I have issues with being ignored from my childhood, and when I get stressed, they resurface, no matter how much therapy I have had. Thanks for listening, Miz:)
christina, what do you mean that you get the message here that you have rocked the BOAT? Something bad? Cause I don't see anything bad that you posted. I'm a bit confused. :)
Good Morning Everyone. Jam, you are in my prayers and feel so badly for you. It is so pointless and painful to have family dissension, I know. On children, not your own: When my son was 8 and my daughter just a baby, we took in my niece as a foster child. Her mother was alcoholic, my brother worthless, no one else taking their heads out of sand to step forward. She had been abused. She was eating for comfort at 7. Every time she told me she wanted a treat, I would give her a big hug and kiss and tickle. She was the most precious beautiful little thing. She was smart, had fortitude, and no responsible parent. We tried to keep her longer than the 8 months she was with us, but it is the "system's policy" to get children back to the parents, no matter what, apparently. Before she was 18, her Mother died of a drug/alcohol overdose, and her father was in prison. We tried to get her back for as long as you can get an 18 year old, before they want to be on their own, but it was too late. Her even sicker Grandmother got her, and we did not see her for years. It is an even more complicated story which I will not explain, but each family has those who step out, speak up, and seem to get some sort of punishment before seeing positive results. I am still hoping to see something positive for my niece, although she is still playing the victim role in the way she chooses poorly, lives on the edge, and blames everyone else for her life. I think to stand for certain principles is very tough, and you risk alienation, but it is worth it in the end. You never know when the love, honesty, and time spent it is going to register with one of those kids you took a firm stand with. Friday was my son's birthday and I haven't seen him for a month. Beginning of December everything was great, then he got back with a girl who loves to have everything her way, and now we have to wait for him. "Oh Well"--another motto of mine. Again, I get the message here that I have rocked the BOAT. Have a great day. christina
Well someone is going to get this storm after it dumps on us......revised overnight to say we are going to get 10 inches....not so bad now that I am not working, but since I have to carry one of the doggies outside I go out the garage door and to the side yard. The main living area is upstairs no matter which door we use. Down stairs to family room, laundry, etc.....so I do get constant exercise. COL woke up this morning and watched her stumble around and then plop on the arm of the sofa. Says she doesn't hurt, just doesn't feel good and is weak. Doesn't want food...told her to beep me on the intercom when she decides she needs to eat. She refuses to drink water but I bought her a bottle of strawberry/apricot water the other day and gave it to her to take her morning meds with.....drank it half down in the matter of about 2 min and it was probably a 16 oz bottle.....mmmmmm tasted good huh? Looks like I will be running up and down stairs all day.......I hope everyone has a peaceful day and a peaceful night.
