i am not really fond of rollercoasters. i wonder about the crews who assemble them, and how likely it is the freaking car will fly right off the tracks.

the phrase 'this too shall pass' is what i told myself the last time i let peter talk me onto one of those things. it's the feeling you get as the rollercoaster car begins to clickety clack its way up to the top of that first steep drop, you know it will suck but there you are, awaiting the inevitable....

this too shall pass.....

Oh. I see what you mean.

yeah...I'm not really good at talking about it but this is a start. well...9/9 will be 11 years married, but 10/8 will be 23 years together. I'm only 38 so basically my first and only boyfriend, been together since I was 15.

tinaz is another one I thought of. I think Michaela is married to her childhood sweetheart. So you are coming up quickly on your 11th year anniversary for being legally married. How many children do you have? You seem to have spent many years together without having children.

I have a friend who was married for 14 years without children. She had miscarriages. Unbelievably in her late 30's she gave birth to twins, 1 boy and 1girl, (without fertility treatments) and then 18 months later had another daughter. Her marriage took it hard. I think there were about five not so great years there. They seem to be on better footing now.

We have 2 boys. 7 and 4. yes, many years with out kids, I didn't have my first child till I was 30. but that's only about 4 years married with no kids. Kids have certainly been the great divider. But there are other bumps in the road that have happened, and to put it vaguely I'm not innocent in it all. Sometimes I think I want it to work, sometimes I don't. Oi...this is more than I planned to share here. Thanx for your encouraging words though! and your great thread.

40 I'm not looking forward to turning 40 in 2 years. but I'm starting to think it will be a make or break it kind of thing for me. I'm already starting to feel like somethings gotta change and if it's not changed by the time I'm 40 I will have to make it happen....but I also don't know if I can hold out another 2 years.

I'm scared.

Wishing you well love.

thanx

Yes, it likes pain..

Deadflow3r said:

I have been thinking a lot about you lately. What kind of things are you looking to change? You are not working am I right?

you have? cool ugh...my life basically. yes, I am working, hopefully that won't change or..change for the better. actually it's my marriage....there I said it.

XxAxX said:

i know i have to have the surgery, but i don't really want to. it's going to hurt a lot and keep me from doing things for three months. still, it has to be done. next week i will rely on all of you to distract me from the pain. that, and oxycontin

So this is all set up for next week? Which day? The "hurt a lot " part doesn't sound so good . Are they fusing all of the bones in your wrist (there are a whole bunch of little ones as I recall) or just some.

What kind of mobility will you have in your wrist after they are done?

Do you have arthritis in other places as well?

Keep us informed. We do not have a large variety of flowers here at the org so it will just be endless bouquets of tulip. (Unless of course I actually learn how to post pics now that I am living in a house with a computer in it ).

Well I will have to hit you up in org notes then .

Well I knew you met fairly young and it has been a long long relationship. I believe if you want to do something successfully then you should talk to those who have been successful at it. My mother was the worst person to take relationship or dating advice from because she was clueless, truly clueless concerning those matters. You know that saying that I don't know exactly but it is about how a young man thinks his parents are not so bright but later when he is older he is amazed how bright they have become? Well my experience was the opposite. I thought that my mother probably knew best because she was older, she was 50 when I was 16. Now I am 50 and realize just how clueless my mother was way back then.

I wish there was another adult in my life when I was a teen that knew a bit more than my mother and was not afraid to share that info with me. There was not the plethora of self help books that there is now either.

To all of you dealing with tough choices/events ahead.

As human beings, we fear that groundlessness feeling... or the threat of being thrust into it situationally...

however, it is stepping into that space that grows us, changes us and brings us joy/fulfillment/truth.

Best of luck!

There is so much that I want to say about this! I will get back to this later.

OMG I am actually going out tonight in about one and a half hours and I need to get ready! I have not been to a club in maybe 10 years. MY life is changing so much. My daughter is not with me so I can go out and go dancing with my friend Eric and his friends. It will most likely be all Gay mens clubs, but that is more then fine with me. I will not be driving and since I have not been drinking in forever I will be taking it easy. I am prone to bedspins if I get too tipsy.

Oh what should I wear? Is that big old dress I wore to meet paintedlady and shorty just too much? I love that dress, it was originally bought to go to a wedding and it's over the top colors make me so damn happy. It is a total celebration dress. (It can be seen on my "I want to meet orgers on my way south" thread.)

I wear it with gold colored shoes. Anyway I will ask Eric if I will embarass him in my big old dress. I hope not. The wedding that I wore it to took place on my bday, I met shorty and paintedlady 7 days before my bday, and this is like a belated bday celebration because it rained last weekend.

I pickled Red Okra this eve

At the farmer's market this afternoon ~ it's really quite beautiful

I traded my hot rocket scientist bf for a Keurig.

You said that you were from N.C. or maybe you said you met your husband there. Where were you born, where were you raised and where do you live now?

I have never seen red okra before nor have I tasted pickled okra. Now that I am in Pensacola, just 10 miles from Alabama these items should be somewhat easy to find. Does red okra taste different from the green the way that a red bell pepper tastes different from a green bell pepper?

Please do tell! I absolutely love the South and am not a big fan of Florida but the part I live in is very Southern.

I sort have thrust myself into the situation. I believe that becoming an actress is a life long Dream because it is what God wants me to do. In a weird way I have come upon 3 books that basically say this. So I left my daughter behind in Massachusetts and moved South. I believe that my love for the South is because that is where I am meant to be.

However sometimes the hardest thing about this journey is fighting off the guilt of being selfish. I must remind myself that when depressed and out of shape I barely have energy to help myself never mind be of help to anyone else. Become a stronger person means I can be a greater help not only to myself but to my family and beyond. One of the things this journey has taught me is to respect myself as an individual. It does not matter if something works for someone else, if I try it and it does not work for me it is O.K. for me to put it down and try something else. I am an individual an I need to respect my individuality and not get angry with myself because my needs are different then the needs of others.

Being "groundless" as you say, allows for a total change of direction a complete 180 degree change that may be long overdue. I also have read that when we are on the right path we get signs that this is right, it begins to feel right.

It is also important to never ever think it is too late. If you are still alive it is not too late to make major changes in your life.

it's kinda freaky that there is a sticky locked thread in GD!!!!

omg

i'm sooooooooooooooo cool!!!

Wow that is a lot of posts in a short amount of time. That really is the best way to do it though because then people "get' your personality and interact with you more. I was hardly on here when I was using the library and therefore I did not have a strong rapor with a ton of people. I had maybe 2300 after 2 years. It is amazing though that I did get my personality across to a few people like zombiekitten, prb, DesireeeNevermind, paintedlady, psychodeicide, connorhawke and maybe a few others.

Now I must post at least 10 times a day so I will quickly catch up to other people who have been around for 2 years. Well, maybe not but I will lesson the gap, lets just aim for that.

It is always fun when some old timer changes their org name, which means closing out their old account and starting a new one, comes back on and wizzes up to 2000 posts in no time.

Not sure about 'The Voice'.

Still annoyed that the bearded dude with the glasses wasn't picked by Blake, and that was a couple of weeks ago (over here, I mean).

OMG, when I get on the org an hour just flys by so fast. I thought I would be out of the house by now! It will be so damn hot when I start walking because it is already 10:08 am and I am still not dressed! Maybe I will walk to Walmart, buy myself some new flowers for the kitchen table and drink mix and then come straight home. Oh, and milk. I am all out of milk. And those black shoes they had at the other walmart but not in my size. Hmmm. Maybe not.

I bought the book "the Help" at Target and will start reading it soon. Anybody read the book or saw the movie?
