((Trish)) - I'm with you. Worked this morning at one job, am about to go to sleep so I can go to the other job at midnight. I really, really hate 3rd shift.

Doctor gave me a med for dizziness and nausea. So far, no good. Tried to find someone else to drive up to get college kid but no one to do so, so I will go up with other daughter as navigator. Pray for my safety. :ghug

People who drive two feet from my back fender...when I am already exceeding the speed limit and am on the right side of the road, driving responsibly and signalling about 12 blocks ahead of time just in case the jerk behind me isn't paying attention...stress me. Don't they know who I am?? Do they not recognize the Queen of Whines?

Got safely up there and back home, tho the last half hour was driving in the dark - my least favorite thing to do! Also noticed that college kid was rather mean and crabby and whiny when I BROUGHT HER STUFF UP TO HER AS REQUESTED... on Tuesday. Then today, having been sick all week and having fixed up a great cage for her little pets... and really being too sick to drive all the way there and back... which I did anyway... and damned if the little snot didn't give me a lot of sh!t on the drive home!! Really got on my case about a lot of stupid stuff. So I got righteously p!ssed and told her to call her dad for rides home and bringing stuff up to her and etc etc etc...  I do'nt think it's too much to ask that she just 'not mention' certain incendiary subjects and try to refrain from listing my faults and such. I am such an expert at beating myself up, was for years before her birth, that I sure the hell don't need her help to make me feel like sh!t.  So I'm still sick, and depressed, and mad that I spent $30 for gasoline just to hear the litany of My Faults!! ... again!

((((Rella))) That stinks, but the good part is that these stinky times never last forever, it just feels that way. You have your recovery, your health and that's all that really matters. The rest is just "stuff". Trust an old lady who has been through many hard times and has learned that sometimes the best times happened when I didn't have anything and my world was upside down. And of course, whine your little heart out, that's why we're here, yes? One Whiner to Another...Big Whiny Hugs

Rella- Oh....I'm so sorry. I can't imagine going through a transition like that. If it doesn't kill us it makes us....stronger? Don't know about that one except someone made it up to make us feel better when there's nothing else we can do about the situation. Least - That brat. You should have just dropped her on the side of the road. C-ya. Ha...then she could have a better story about what a lousy mom you are.  BF - Hi! Feels weird you can see us talking on here and not be able to say anything. Hmm...we could play some good jokes on you but that probably wouldn't make your day right now.  Cola Girl - Sleep is the only thing that gets rid of my bad headaches. Sorry you're having one of those. They suck. Hi Ogiler! Interesting screen name. My whine is .....I'm up really late tonight and I hope I don't type anything really stupid that feels insightful in a thread tonight.

Least. Sounds like you got some ungrateful kids on your hands. I feel for you. Sry if that is harsh. Stories like that make me glad I cant have kids. And like lately..My lil cousins are really making me glad as well. All they do is cry and scream and fight, I am really tired of it. They dont behave and the mouths on em are ridiculous. I am sick of being woken up every morning with this $hit. Its gotten to where I dont even come out of my room when they are here anymore.Its only my one cousins kids. She ..I dont know. I am not a parent so I cant hand out parenting skills. But she really needs to get on top of her game. These kids do whatever they want. 2 hours sleep and gotta go to work in an hour. 60 hr work week done after today. I am exhausted.

Still feel horrible, weak and dizzy and sick to my stomach. I'm so tired of feeling like I'm burning up and then freezing cold. I feel like I'm in a bad panic attack or going thru withdrawals, and it can't be withdrawals. I don't know what to do, and feel too awful to even want to do anything. Only thing I feel like doing is lying down again, and I just got up a couple hours ago. I'm praying for relief from this "whatever it is". Am so sick of feeling sick. I'm afraid of this feeling bad being something really awful for me, don't know what to do. :praying

poor least...I can relate to how bad you feel...i never do sick well! I always feel lonely when i'm sick. I try to lay down and fantizize about the man of my dreams sweeping me off my feet, or winning the lotto, or getting a promotion or somehting like that. It helps, but i do have to be careful not to fall into the fantasyies i have that suddenly turn into ...and i'm dying of cancer, or my son dies, or whatever....my mind likes to turn to ugly stuff not sure why...but everytime it does i just have to return to the happy fun dreams....sorta like dakota fanning's "safe place" in war of the worlds  my whine.....how will i ever stay on schedule with my sleep patterns if i'm sleeping to get well on and off all day and night .... I better be sure to get on schedule by next Thursday or i'll be in trouble when its time to go back to work! |

we have a gas shortage in GA. There are 100's of gas stations without gas, and the ones that DO have gas, you have to wait in line for it. Cops are hanging out at gas stations because people are getting angry, frustrated and stupid. I filled my car up this morning, because by the time I need gas tomorrow, there may not be any where I fill up. I drove 40 miles, one way, to work to make $30 in tips, which is not enough to pay for gas. No one can afford to eat out, even though we are family-oriented and not much more expensive than fast food places. I'm broke, and don't see any end in sight. It's the wrong time of the month to be going through this. I know it will all work out (it always does), but it sure sucks when you're going through it. At least I don't want to use, and my health is good. Think I'll go say the serenity prayer a few hundred times!

I'll hand over my whine time to anyone who has to wait in line for gas. I've only had to do that twice and the second time it was for 6 hours right before hurricane Frances. [WHINE]......[/WHINE] Impurrfect: feel free to fill in the space.

I've never had to wait in line for gas, either. This is a first. Apparently we have to have special gas because of the emissions/pollution. This gas comes from the pipelines that were damaged by hurricane Ike. EPA lifted the restrictions, but no improvement yet. Dad and I let each other know, daily, which stations have gas. Most stations run out in a day. I've heard of stories of people running out of gas waiting in line, and having to push their cars to the pump. What's bad, is people are getting "gas-rage". It's only a matter of time before someone shoots someone else over gas. Pretty scary. If I just go to work and back, I can get through the rest of my week (I'm off Wed. and Thur. nights). The few customers we had at work, were complaining about trying to find gas. I'm wondering if I'll get fired if I have to call in because I don't have gas, and am not making enough money to buy it!

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.
