Hi Anna, much welcome, I hope you've been able to come back and check to see if we've answered you. :) Do not mean to steal the icky limelight but Queen of All Avoidance here, and I'm Lutheran so that'd take some doing, we don't have saints. Awful way to live, isn't it? There are no doubt a...

For me it depends on which on earth PTSD related symtom I'm dealing with. Also one will make me sob one day, like a faucet, another day will just be annoying, another will be laughable, sorry- like the whole whifty thing. You can get awfully, awfully tired of that- wasting part of your day...

Don't we know you from ' A Christmas Carol ' ? You must donate all the heck all over the place! The van driver who delivered the prize-winning turkey to Bob Cratchett's home on Christmas Day spilled the beans- he said it was YOU who sent that thing over and gave his family the best Christmas ever!

Yes, do go tool around that Calibre site- I have a ton of books on my Kindle that my husband was able to convert from PDF and docs to Kindle friendly formats. PDF's show up but are a big, fat pain to read. There's another site, I think emule? Has free books. Another way to lend is just to find...

Ha! Too funny!!! I also can't imagine taking up so much of my DAY sleeping- which is something that has to be worked on, I realize that. You can always tell when it's something you have to work on when it's something you won't tell your T. Because he'll make you. Just do not have a solution to...

I was able to have the family here to start inventing Christmas again. It's too long to get into. My extended family was torn apart in the most poisonous way imaginable, blown to bits, has become unrecognizable from who we used to be. Still is. The last 2 years, 2 Christmases, more than awful-...

I have a Kindle, the one with a keyboard? I've had it for 2 years and love it a lot! I did just get a Kindle Fire HD from husband for Christmas, Holyyyyy heck but yes, the darkness was annoying until I found the setting for how you can adjust it. Have you found it yet? There's also the text-size...

Hee- I took the test but Mingle wants you to sign up for their dating site in order to get the results. Er- no, not even a harmless 'join'. These sites tend to find you these days no matter where you flee-I don't feel like doing the whole guilt ( we PTSDers are extremely good at feeling guilty...

And Sweet Dreams, with visions of wide receivers ( there are a few... ) dancing in your head. Thanks much for the update. In all the busy-ness, SO nice to stop in and have good news plus a smile from ITL herself. Made me think once again about how far-reaching and kind of magical this forum...

Now that Nave is indeed just stunning, thank you! Dad used to dislike the old churches, I think really the Victorian ones because of what he termed ' Schmaltz '. I disliked the 60's, form-follows-function structures, always feel so cold or something, you know? There's still that school out...

I have no idea what any of it means, so it's a nice surprise when one shows up in the 'Alerts' thing. I'm Scottish by heritage, anything which racks up into high numbers with apparently no effort on my part is just FINE with me. :) The 'likes' can mean soooo many different things, can't they...

Yes, nothing to add, everyone has said it all. I personally have an awful time being able to feel 'included', or say what is in my heart and head. Since bumping into this forum, life just looks a little different. Hard to explain, it just does. I'm very grateful and sincerely wish I could do...

Another wonderful invention by you folks across the Pond, Boxing Day! Gosh, wish we had it, Amethist! It always feels so odd to rocket right from all the 'Christmas' back to a plain old Wednesday. Your tradition of a 2 day holiday is awfully nice. Hope yours is lovely.

Thank you, Sheila, Merry Christmas back! Your church made me think again, like anything else on the planet, it's all about perspective, isn't it? I'm not crazy about contemporary churches only because I'm a huge history Geek- show me an old building and I'm the rodent scurrying around in it's...

I was just looking for somewhere to say Merry Christmas to everyone, of course Nicolette would have provided one! I'm sitting on my hands, waiting for everyone to get UP this Christmas Morning. Sweet Rolls and Mimosas for breakfast, invented that- then the roast and Yorkshire pudding you Brits...

Here I am Christmas morning, waiting for everyone to wake up, sitting on my hands to not go make noise on purpose. Thought I'd anchor myself to the sofa with the computer. :) I just posted a pic here I lost 2 or 3 years ago, so don't give up hope. Don't know if you saw it over on the share...

You're welcome- I got the name of her first book wrong, no surprise. It's ' A return to Love'. Like I said- it's still good, just my own PTSD doesn't always deal well with her take on some things in it. I truly, truly only thought I'd mentioned it because I also struggle with 'judgements'. Like...

Hee. Yes, but there certainly is some resentment broiling beneath the surface- hence the replies. And I did not singularize my post towards any one person, not sure where that came from. There's an awful lot of talk about ' America needs to '. We know what we need to, of course, can see it in...

I do not generally enjoy a contemporary church, but I like this one a LOT! My eyes glaze over when softwear gets introduced- it's forever a mystery, which probably adds to the enjoyment with this. :tup:

Don't wish to interrupt a flow of conversation and be annoying, just saw the thread title- thought I'd answer with what's been helpful personally? I better give the disclaimer first, since I think she gets written off a little as awfully New-Agey. She really isn't, just non-denominational. I...

We're obviously having a dreadful time of it here in America, and yes, it's the gun lobbies and politicians who are owned by them, bottom line. The thing is, it's not as easy as it sounds, boom boom boom- there are tentacles attached to everything and ours are so deep they're going to take time...

Yes, we're getting more suggestions on how we're supposed to arm teachers. Ohhhhkay. A policewoman from one of the inner cities made hash out of that in a big way, thank goodness- it's just not their training nor should it be expected of them. It's such a stupid, stupid idea that it's clear this...

Thanks Cath! I know exactly zero on the Knights- a ton on the Crusades ( history geekkkkk ) themselves but am mostly an American Civil War GEEKS Geek so my knowledge of uniforms, etc. tends to be towards something a little later in history. We have a ton of Freemasons in the family tree...

Yes, I did not the first year. It just felt awkward and wierd, plus did not know whether or not there were rules or something that T's had to follow and I was too chicken to ask about. I gave my T the nutroll yesterday, always sign the card to he and 'Family'. But rats, do not get even a twinkle...

Pictures are helpful as heck. Before I abandoned FB again ( don't get me started ) built a photo memorial to Dad. My sister's family ignored it- not one 'like' over there. Be a good purchase-by-donation feature here, somewhere to have photo albums.
