    What Do You Do If You Have No Supporter In Your Life?

    Name The Person/people You Could Not Live Without In Your Life

    My son used to be the only reason I was here.. but if I'm not on this list too with him, then he's gonna get cheated out of a mom big time. Other than those two people, I'd say I can't live without walking down the street and being smiled at by somebody.. or maybe someone is shocked that the...

    What Do You Usually Do To Feel Better?

    I'm a sewist. I make clothes, dolls, things for around the house. Then when I mess something up, I flip out and rip it up, laugh, then start over. It's a good time-eating process.

    You know you have PTSD when a trucker cuts you off on the highway, but you feel confident that you can defeat him in your Volkswagon. When Chuck Woolery has less grey hair than you, and you're 20. Sometimes if you're old too, it's great when you're so deaf that you freak out at a sudden sound...

    What Made You Angry Today?

    You know.. What made me angry today is what makes me angry every day and that's the fact that the women in my family are so used to being doormats, it's nauseating. They pick these people that will be everyone else's hero, but theirs. It's at the point where they won't even be their own...

    My therapist is awesome. We go for rides, get a coffee, make fun of people in bad shoes. But it's like,.. I'm the person that just says what she wants to say, and when I do, she has that look of mental victory as if to say, "Sho' nuff!". I never used to like saying what was on my mind, but...

    What's One Memory That Makes You Smile Or Perhaps Even Laugh When You Think About It?

    When I need a laugh, I think about my ex wiping out of the shower, literally, and into the door frame. Just ain't nothing funnier than a naked guy getting hurt, I guess. For a few hours of pain, he gave me a lifetime of lols.
