Just watched two fantastic BBC documentaries. Head a bit more settled now. I was a grumpy bear today. Thanks for Bim update K. Stay safe in the cold weather folks. Sounds like a horrendous accident LB. Of all the things we fear, driving our cars is probably the most dangerous. Good night all. B |
My avatar are himalayan salt lamps ( the kind my mom was trying to give my sister!!!) |
I need to get me one of those, Jen. I love the soft light they put out. I just got back from one of the most powerful speaker meetings I've ever been to. I was feeling sorry for myself about some trivial things - now my perspective has been changed - maybe forever. I need to write some things down before I forget. The speaker was amazing - he had 24 years of sobriety and relapsed last year. His message was about spirituality - lots of good stuff. My house is creaking and banging, too. I'm used to it. Happens all the time here. |

I have a rather nice sized Himalayan salt lamp in my entry way. It stays on all the time. Greets me and send me out into the world everyday! That's why I was so mad my mom was giving mine to my sister!! I'm gonna have to do inventory at my new place haha |

my mother spoiled me, definitely should've beaten me more. |
I think I mentioned this before.... I never met my dad- when I was a child I used to ask random men if they were my dad hahaha My poor mother! I would ask in elevators, lines, everywhere! |
Gonna go hang out with my valentine :) My neighbour! The criminal I really want to be with isn't a good idea. See guys?!?! Good choices :) |
Hey everyone. The chicken and noodles were delicious. Brain, I heard about Justice Scalia this afternoon. It's going to be an ugly fight to appoint a new one. Tetra, I won't claim to practice therapy. Some guy was just arrested for practicing psychiatry without a license. He was forging prescriptions for ADHD and anxiety meds. Faces four years in prison. It was actually a fascinating story. He had s webpage with a real doctor's credentials but his own picture. Elaborate scheme. Husband now awake and kids doting on him. GRRR!!! He'll be awake now and cutting into my relaxation time. Drive safe everyone. |
By the way, I got my Himalayan salt lamp on sale at Target for $5.98. An awesome deal. It's cool. Tell your mom hands off, Bodhi. Geez. |
Marty, I'm interested to hear what the speaker said at your meeting! Jen, if you really cared about us, you could have split your three hour massage from your Valentine up a few ways so all your spinster sisters got a, uh, ahem, piece. :lmao I was supposed to hang out with Sober Chef tonight but I cancelled. I got some sad news, someone died of an overdose who is peripherally in my world. I'm thinking of her kids and I don't think I'd be world's best company. I'm just feeling reflective and I had a pretty decent cry there. I think I'll go to Target and set fire to money like I always do there. |
Aw melina! (((( hug))) go buy a himalayan salt lamp xoxo |
Hi jsbodhi-- thanks for the shout out, but no I'm not in the UK. It's on my list of places to visit though. I live in the (currently freezing) middle part of the U.S. Best wishes on your move! Cleaning and moving can be quite cathartic. |
I'm very lonely. My guy friend broke off all contact again. I know I can do better but it was just nice to have someone. However I don't want to be with someone who takes offence and gets angry at the smallest things. I'm still lonely though. From now on I will concentrate on me. |
Melina - sorry about your bad news. It's always tough when children are involved. On a lighter note - setting money on fire at Target!! No sh*t! I never ever walk out of there for less than $50, even if I went in for toilet paper and cat food. "Oh, what's that? A new garlic press? Mine is fine, but that one is NEW! And what's that? Chocolate dipped potato chips? Don't mind if I do! Oh - a nature sounds CD? Neato!" And so on. I might as well direct deposit half of my earnings at the bank of Target. |
. I went to the massive Quartzsite AZ Gem/Mineral/RV Show a few Years ago on the way out to see Dad in SoCal. Towed my prior lil 14' Trailer, and Boondocked it out in the surrounding Desert. I was looking for a Pic of a Salt Lamp there fer grins, and don't have one. I did run across a Pic of this amazing bit of Workmanship that was ~1 Yard wide. A good Sushi Lunch today in Shirt Sleeve Weather. I'm not in any position to attempt Calisthenics with a Neighbor tonight, so I'll chill here in my Man Shed instead. - 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight' ~ The Tokens - . http://i68.tinypic.com/16rpn6.jpg . |

This week my issue is his dad called me to discuss how we need to manage son's desire to just be with me. Luckily dad realizes I am not doing anything to cause this, son just prefers being with me. He is a mini-me and clashes with dad (ha! If only I realized that personality clash earlier!). Not sure how to navigate this one if I am honest. But son spends a lot of time while at dads angry and lashing out and saying he wants to be here. Dad is never going to see his household issues, so we shall see how this pans out. |
I survived the birthday party and the ex! Yay! I got there early with the cake and to help set up and people were already drinking. Wasn't even 11am. I have to say...for the first time in a really long time I was tempted. I guess because I was so anxious about the ex and all, but everything was fine. Not even all that awkward and it ended up being a really fun day! Now I'll attempt to catch up with all you chatter boxes! :) |
I have one of those salt lamps....I love it. melina...sorry about the person you knew who died. I quilted all day and went to the party tonight. I took barbecue chicken which was easy to make while working on the quilt. I'm glad I didn't flake on the party. I actually enjoyed myself and it was good for me to get out and socialize a little. I'm watching On The Road.....weird movie. |
