If reaching out to make others feel better by offering compassion, kindness and understanding defines me as a wacko, I'll take that as a compliment.
What people say about others says alot about themselves.
Welcome to the wonderful wacky whiner's world, Robin!

I did some investigating and found that the company putting on the seminar yesterday was a scam. I'm really glad we just walked out. The concept was good, the product and company was not. Bad bad seminar guys. 
Lessons learned from this:
Never be pressured into anything, especially when your gut says "wait".
If it's too good to be true, it's probably not true. If it is good and true, it can wait until tomorrow or next week to decide.
High pressure sales people don't care about the consumer, they care about sales and getting our money.
And the best lesson of all...
NEVER mess with Queeny!!! She's got radar for scams.

You have a radar for scams? Cool! I have a radar for creeps. Maybe it's because I've been hit on by so many. Sometimes it's actually kind of funny. My friends are all amazed my my amazingly sensitive creepy alarm. It's saved me more than once and I'm really grateful for that particular gift.
My whine is that I haven't posted for a couple of days because apparently my computer was posessed and and my internet would go down any time I hit the "submit reply" button. Grrr. And I couldn't even whine about it to all of you because I was pretty sure it I had to retype my post and the internet ate it again, I would probaly throw my computer out the window. I live on the third floor. It wouldn't have been pretty.
Least, I hope you feel better. Boo for being sick.

Welcome back SarahDoll, glad your computer didn't jump.
Least, I'm proud of you, sober beats anything else even if you hurt.
Just doing a Whiner Drive By, to hand out tissues and turn up the volume.

Robin I saw something like that once too. I think some people misunderstand the rules we have here to keep everyone safe. If I couldn't come here every day I'd feel empty.

I have so much that needs to be done today... and still woke up very sick. So it seems obvious that nothing will get done today except sleeping. A friend said he'd come over today and mow my yard for me. It really needs to be mowed, the grass is so high in the front yard it's hard to find the dog poop. I can see this will be a day spent mostly in bed....
No pity. No remorse. No fear

I have been under a lot of stress lately and it's not helping me feel good most of the time. However, yesterday I seem to have caught a 'bug' in that I am physically ill. I'm going to spend the day resting. Thank you all.
