    Hahahaha! Tear ran down your leg, now I'm er, crying too! TOO funny!! Yes, Find a Grave is an amazing site, like a mini Ancestry and FREE, for heaven's sake. Ancestry is just getting stupid it's so expensive now and there's just much less chance for feeling you've DONE something for someone...

    ps, Deb, do you still go out and groom Lukey? Try doing it then, seriously. You do not have to hover-butt in lotus position 5 inches above the ground, aura glowing, you meditate when your mind is quiet and clear of clutter, you're in a state of Peace and NOW, centered, grounded and balanced...

    Alba, yes, you are indeed serving the greater good. It's genuinely dreadful when one sees the incredulity on bozo's faces, ' Oh look, there's an *ss, look what she's doing for zero compensation, bet someone's pulling the wool over HER eyes. " a. Yea, and those types say the same thing about...

    And yes, hang in there, Alba! I think we're allowed to cuss when it comes to animals not being treated well, isn't that in the Rules? :)

    This was beneficial, thank you to every poster. Being here at all is an excercize in mindfulness for me. I think I generally have a shot at being 'busy', hence not able to participate in something interactive like this. I AM terribly busy, but so many, many things in my life will just not change...

    My Daughter Got Beat Up By Her Husband Last Night While She Was Asleep

    This is wierd to hear, from Nursenurse, and thank you! It is great advice, no idea why these men and our psyches respond to that. Sorry to relate a similar story on your thread Gizmo, please DO excuse? It seems maybe important only because it contains what I have always felt to be one of the...

    Candle Lighting, Crystals, Aroma Therapy And Other Such Rituals / Beliefs

    We have someone who was indeed arrested for being a witch back in the 1600's, but I guess just had the gift, that's all. She just knew things, which apparently freaked out a house servant who tattled. The family paid a ton of money and goods in lieu of death by burning. There's been an odd kick...

    These are wonderful, and thank you Ms. Spock for your daily list. I personally love lists for to-do purposes because my brain tends to become scattered and I find them soothing. IF they're mine. I was married to someone who made lists FOR me, which was just flirting with death if you ask me...

    Don't Get Mad ... Get Even

    This is really not a good thread for me. I'm 55, so have been at this awhile. My T listens to some of this stuff and says " You DO know that's passive-aggressive behaviour, right? " and I say, well, YEA, and he says ok, just checking. He says as long as I know, and am a. not trying to justify...

    Good morning Gizmo! Well, Deb told me to try updating this thing, but when I tried, this pop-up occured which stated that not only would the computer die and go annoy people in heaven but all the people already in heaven would come back and yell at me for not knowing anything about computers. I...

    That was REALLY lovely, Green Frog, thank you! There's ' mindfullness ' written all the heck all over your day, which is the one thing I've always, always had to work on. My fear stuff has turned into an avoidance impulse over the years which is so automatic I frequently do not realize I'm...

    In the old days, my stepdaughter KEPT signing my up for dating sites. She just hated me, which is a long story in itself, there was yet another stepdaughter in th mix at the time who was feeding her a load of cr*p about what was going on between her father and me. I started getting my inbox...

    I was just checking to see if the latest messing around with my computer helped my ability to navigate the forum, saw this. I could have filled your phone comany in on who not to mess with, but they forgot to ask me. When my boys were tiny, I tok a job as a 'decorator', painting and hanging...

    I couldn't get on this morning, it's my computers' for some reason disliking the forum's set-up but I'll keep working on it on the grounds that this lump of plastic and fake synapses is NOT going to win. My act of kindness kicked my scrawny backside today but it was a blast, too. Like an idjit...

    Yes, I understand the baseball bat thing. I'll bet he does also, if he knows you at ALL and probably hopes very, very much you will not be one of the people who is at that house when he comes to pick things up. Gosh Gizmo, I hope you enjoyed it all just a teny bit, how uncomfortable in the...

    Ms. Spock, I'd like to say Thank You for giving support to your fellow artist, and much congrats, too. I always think a clump of artists should have a name, like a gaggle of geese, herd of elephants, that kind of thing? Anyway, tough crowd, that clump, not always supportive like you'd think, as...

    Yes, It's tough for me to turn on the computer at night also, even with the best intentions. I just don't feel very good at night, better to not give in to that and be tempted to blah blah blah about it. Shuffled my 3 miles yesterday, forcing yourself to empy your mind of everything allows the...

    Thanks for this, it's EXTREMELY good for me for a ton of reasons. I'll post out here instead of the PM portion since I have zero problems being public. I have so many people following me around out here anyway that if I put in a dirty stop I have to cough up someone else's underwear, give it...

    I'll be in, had to miss yesterday across the board ( headache ) and won't be able to log in for chats due to time plus long computer usage hits me right in the neurological system these days.

    Oh my. Well there's nothing your daughter's lawyer will like better than following his secret money trail, and be SURE he will share the info with the D.A. . My toes are curling with delight, both for the pants around the ankles ( after being yanked down in public ) and for what promises to be...

    Outrageous (stupid) Things You've Heard Regarding Ptsd

    I've been on this forum for aWHILE, and still have a tough time 'liking' posts which make me cringe, despite knowing it's also a form of support. Some of these were just awful, I'm so sorry! I tend to have gotten the whole 'fake' thing. I say 'have gotten' because I don't tell anyone about...

    Yes, well it doesn't seem like he would be going to trial at all if he were going to plea not guilty. He'd just do that thing where everyone whines about yes, he did DO that, but look at all the factors involved, he's a peach of a fellow, please Mr. Judge, go easy, he just wants to go home and...

    I am SOOOO glad you're going for mani/pedi's, taking care of yourself. I personally dye my own hair on the grounds that every, single time I get close to a hairdresser they cut off 6 inches. They treat split ends like cancer, Good Grief! I say ' Please, JUST trim and layer it, I like to keep it...
