Hey, it is late night, my unending munch time. I am so lazy, I will probably go open a can of baked beans and eat them right out of the can.
I will be back. I took a nap today, out of trazadone...so sleep isn't soon on the horizon. Damn me for letting this happen again. All I needed to do was pick up the refill but do I think of it until I am here awake until all hours and screwing up tomorrow?
NOOOOO!

LOL....poor Live!!! Bless your heart.....bad as I am. It really sucks when you can't sleep....so you like baked beans too huh? I do too..and yep! I will eat them right out of the can, or mixed with cold spaghettio's and pringles chips..LOL..........or use the baked beans as a dip for my chips...now I am getting the munchies!!!! LOL............

I hope you can get some rest my friend. Sending angels on your pillow to help you get some sleep. Sometimes I try some breathing exercises when I get restless. Just focus on my breathing, have quiet music on...and practice clearing my mind.LOL...it is reaaalllllllyyyyyy hard to clear my mind, for someone that draws so many 'blanks' LOL...it's amazing how hard it is to 'clear' it of all the junk.

I love it! Junk muncher sisters. oops, beans are protein. I like your recipes!
I have so much fun with you because I feel like I can say whatever pops out.
And I have missed you, you were one of the people I was thinking of in my post in WIR about parades.
WE make each other smile and have fun together. Thank you. I am so glad you are back! I have hogged your whole thread.
hugs,
I hope to go to bed soon.
I actually thought about eating spinach out of the can too. Just don't want any leftovers.

That's who I am...if ya don't like it.....don't listen...what ya se is what ya get with me!!

You haven't hogged me thread!! I love chatting with you!! Like I said, you're posts always brighten my day, except when I see you struggle..then I pray real hard for you....you deserve peace and happiness in your life.

You wouldn't belieev some of the conglomerations I eat!! Almost everything I eat could be listed as goulash..I slop it all together and just enjoy!! The best thing I love is keeping beans, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, onions, tomatoes, and avocadoes around, tortillas, or any kind of chip that meets my fancy and layering all those goodies sky high and digging in...I love Mexican food.....mmmmm--mmmmm.

((((((((((((Big Big HUgs)))))))))))))))

Great thread you guys!

"I am taking Cipro right now for a staph infection. My joints aren't feeling better...but maybe after I am through with them? Interesting you mentioned this though, do you know of those who feel better whilst on antibiotics?"

I was taking Cipro for an infection and noticed my pain got better until I went off it, then it came right back. The reason I asked is because some doctors are treating chronic fatigue and fibro with antibiotics.

Take care you guys!!

Tammie,
Even when you're feeling bad you are their with your light shining, I do hope you are in better spirits and less pain.
I am off to have my head read again today it's like everyone is speaking a language I don't understand lol and I too am so weary of it all. Know you are in my heart Tammie and that goes for you too live. My problems being genetic means they continue to deteriorate and one of my dogs died too, got run over so I am like a yo yo and it's exhausting.

HUGS indie

All right Tammie. Stop with the beans, I was awakened earlier by a growing gut bomb about to explode. Never happened before. Must have been the bar-b-q sauce in them!

???utopia, not sure I understand. The usual rule is if the depression lasts 2wks or longer, then seek help.

(((((((((((Indigo)))))))))))))) I am so very sorry to hear about your dog dying......huge warm hugs coming across the sea to you my friend! Bless your heart......you hang in there, I don't think you realize how valuable YOU are to this ole world of ours, you are truly a special person, as all are here. Just take it slow...and easy.....do lots of deep breathing and eat well!! LOL.....(not too many beans, lol....) I know when I eat better and drink lots of water..and do deep breathing exercises and stretches with meditation..I feel so much better in body...and spirit. God knows when we're depressed even breathing seems too much to bear, it's so hard.

Hope all have had an okay day..........thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Oh Tammie,
I prayed for you and Lilya just the other night. I'm so glad to see you posting here.
Can you get to an alanon meeting? Perhaps someone can pick you up. Also, is there a counseling center near you? I know some talk therapy can go a long, long way and you may qualify for services from your county.
I have been seeing a woman for myofascial pain and she does myofascial release work. It's very, very helpful. I actually think that and my talk therapy are beginning to work hand in hand. It's challenging to find someone who does it, but it's great if you can.
I send you lots of love and a good dose of faith.
love,
Michele

So good to see you!! I have missed you so much! I have been in a funk but I am getting through it....feeling much better today! Pain can make us absolutely crazy!! Yikes, I have been considering acupuncture..but canot find one in my area....can't really get anywhere far away..BUT I have decided to drive again!!! I cringe having to say that because at one time driving relaxed me..I loved to drive!!! I don't know what happened to me but by God i am going to drive again even if it's just a little to start. Not feeling independent keeps me so tense and stressed it is no wonder my body hurts so bad.


Anyways.....It is wonderful to hear from you..............huge warm caring HUGS coming at ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Driving again is great! Just think of the independence and options it will give you!
Have you heard anything from Lilya? Last I recall she was battling with breast cancer.
I truly am indebted to you and to her. You are both the very first two people who helped me cope with my family crises. I have thanked God for that many times.
Big hugs to you, too!
((love))
Michele
p.s. Sometime if you're interested I can tell you about reiki. That might be a treatment option that you can use to help reduce your pain.

I am very interested in learning about reiki!!! Would love to have you tell me more about it. Thank you for always being here for me. You're a sweetheart. I too have been thinking and praying for Lilya, bless her heart!! I hope all is well with her. I really miss her. Her posts were so much fun to read when she talked about her travels and experiences. Neta lady she is. As are all of you!! So glad to be back HOME.

what i mean is when i get depressed i sometimes cant see out of it. theres this tale of african tribe. they get put in a jail and die because they dont think theyll ever ever be let out.

one day at a time can bite me in the ass if i feel **** and think i will all day.

this too shall pass is my bereave when im lost in the dark clouds of my depression. as well as meetings, prayer and keeping in touch with my therapist

as well as pointing out the positive things in my day i find writing from a-z one thing im grateful for, it doesnt always make me a beaming happy bunny but it does usually make things a little less bleak.
