First I need to pass out hugs to my whiners today..

Least..I really hope you start feeling better soon. I am glad you are going to the Dr.

HL..I know how you feel. I will be going to the food pantry in the morning. Hopefully the church ladies dont mess with me. LOL.

RZ..glad to see you whining.

Momma...Soemthing will come along. Hang tight.

Nonny..You crack me up.

Me? I swear today was the most aggravating day in a long time. There must have been stupid gas in the air all across the country. Everyone I spoke with on the phone made the simplest things so complicated. Absolutely zero common sense. I felt like banging my head into the wall. I am not asking hard questions here people. It makes me wonder how these people make it through a day with out getting stuck staring at something all day.

I am not going in early tomorrow. I cant take it. Screw that 25 cents. Its not worth my sanity. I have made my 40 hrs this week and still have to work tomorrow and Sat.

So glad to be home and safe from the stupidity.

This morning my partner's dog bit my daughter. SHE'S OK.

Took her to the ER..on antibiotics. However, means dog warden will be stopping by today. I'm ok with it. Max has been trying to assert his dominance for awhile now. He bit me last month. My partner is going to surrender him back to the rescue group where she got him. My daughter is pretty upset. I've reinforced that it's not her fault. I can't take the chance of him getting worse and hurting one of the smaller kids. Having a hard time not saying "I told you so", but keeping my mouth shut. She rescued him when I thought she shouldn't cause I already had my puppers. I'm praying on it.

We do stuff when we're active and or in that alcoholic mind set..like adopt animals, without thinking it all the way through. Max needs a male to own him.

I'm looking at this as HP's way of telling me there are too many animals here...something I know but feel unable to give any up. Now the decision has been made for me.

Daughter missed the bus but wants to go to school so my best friend is driving her in..no car today.

I love Max, but my daughter is more important.

hey, brainfrieds daughter, once again. im here on behalf of mum to sort out miscommunitcation. mum is allowed to access the net at any time of free will, and is doing so via her phonem her phone does not allow her to post replys or message, but still shows her as online. therefore she is intending to browse the forum regularly but will be unable to reply to anybody. the PM she recieved today from a member insinuating that she had been kicked out of rehab severely distressed her as she has not been kicked out, nor has she left nor does she intend to leave before her 20 weeks are over. she wants to thank all those who continue to support and be faithful of her recovery and to let them know that she is loving where she is, she is eating well, 9 days clean, and for the first time in years shes is reading stories to my five year old brother and actually enjoying it. she would appreciate it if assumptions were kept to themselves, as assumptions prove nothing, nor do they help. this dtsrressed her so much she had to recieve councelling over it today. as you can imagine she is very raw, she attempted to PM this member and her phone would not allow such, which is probably a blessing in itself, she was quick to anger, as would you be. feel free to PM if you are offering support, but do not count on reply. Other then that you will see her online, browsing, but cannont reply to message. please send positive PMs ONLY! anything else does not help.

Much love,
April.

Thanks for the update April and quite frankly, I am shocked that someone would assume that she's dropped out of rehab. Quite an irrational assumption.

BF I wish you continued success and a speedy return to SR!! Something is missing without your posts here.

BF's Daughter: thanks so much for helping your mom out by posting for her! You've got a great mom and we all love her so much. She's so proud of her kids and compliments you all the time on here. I can see her pride is well placed!

Brainfried: Are you lurking??? LOL!! You go, girl!!! I'm sooooo happy you have a way to access the forums...it must be so friggin' tough to not be able to actually post though, eh? I think I should try not posting! I'm afraid my big mouth just blurts things out way too quickly without thinking them through first. Maybe you're on to something here!!! Just want you to know how dang proud of you we all are...as my many, many explanation marks are trying to portray!!!! lol Have a great day today, BF!!

NoMoMerlotMama - I'm glad you're sending that dog back. That's the only circumstance when I think it's okay to send back a dog. No way would I keep a dog that bites. I'm glad your daughter is alright but she'll probably never feel the same way about dogs again, which is a shame really.

BF - Hi there! Shake off that nasty PM. We've probably all gotten posts or PMs that were unbelievably mean spirirted. Some people are sicker than others for sure.........

Sorry you're still all achy and in pain Ananda. That's major surgery so I'm not surprised though.

Trish - hope you have a better day today.

DG - I'm glad you don't keep your big mouth shut - You're a riot.

Hey Boston,

My daughter loves animals and she understands what's what. Our dog Samantha is very sweet and you can pretty much do anything that you want with her..cept be a mailman. (doesn't like the mailman for some reason).

She said to me after I told her that Max needs to find another home, "there's just too many girls around here for him".

My exH is po'd that I took her to the ER.

Well, that was the right thing to do so I guess your ex will just have to GET OVER IT.

My medical doctor found my thyroid to be a little high two months ago

and dropped my dosage to half of what I was taking.
A couple of years ago, I was diagnosed with an over-active bladder and an under-active thyroid! So, even though I was peeing every hour or so, I was gaining weight...obviously, it wasn't "water weight". Now, I'm back to being "continent"...a very good thing; but, because I'm so inactive due to the arthritis and being confined to the chair, I'm about twice the size I should be. It can get a bit depressing, so I just avoid looking in mirrors. I want to drape the mirrors like a vampire so I don't see my reflection!

The sore throat I thought had gone away yesterday took hold full force this morning. I told the nurse, and she's going to call my doctor to see if he'll give me something to prevent my getting really sick, which usually happens when I come down with a cold. I have no appetite, so I'm doing the orange juice, hot tea with lemon and honey, chicken broth and crackers, tea and toast, etc. Hoping to knock it out of my system before it gets to the BRAT diet (banana, rice, apple sauce, toast). If I start coughing, I'll self-quarantine so as not to spread to others...if everybody here thought that way, we wouldn't wind up with a lock-down a couple of times a year.

The nurse just told me the doctor ordered me an antibiotic and cepecol lozenges. I finally have a doctor who actually returns phone calls!

Sorry to hear you are under the weather Jersey. I had a bit of a sore throat, but it was allergies - I believe any ways. They're no fun! Hope the doctor fixes you right up.

I LOVE your bumper stickers and especially the part about "there is so much month left at the end of money." That's our situation in a nutshell!!

((April)) - thanks for updating us on your mom.

((BF)) - sorry someone was a jerk and made a bad assumption. WE believe in you and are sending you lots of support.

((Karen)) - sorry your daughter got bitten and partner is ticked, but I agree...HP is looking out for you all.

((Jersey)) - hope you get to feeling better soon.

My whine...Elvis (my cat) still thinks I'm a tree. God forbid, I don't pick him up the MINUTE he wants to be held...he just starts climbing up my clothes!
