I'm grateful that my boyfriend keeps track of my poor habit of not remembering to feed myself: he just called to say he's bringing me some dinner when he comes over for a visit.:inlove: (I've set aside some extra packets of Skittles for him. :) )

Welcome...this is a great place for all those times when you feel isolated and "abnormal" and when you can't get in to see a counselor/therapist/etc. Hope you find it as helpful as I have.

Funny, I was thinking about one of my earliest happy memories (in the 70's) and dealing with "toes"!: Before Head Start and official pre-school existed in our area, my mother dropped me off to a children's center called "Mother's Day Off." It was like a cheerful recreational center -- with a...

I think the term "forgiveness" is too tinged with religion for me to use it as such, so I opt for another term, "understanding." This might just be an issue of semantics -- I don't know. I like Britt's use of the phrase "hold them accountable" in regards to my own parents. I try to see my...

Oh, yeh! If I remember correctly, at least where I lived, it came on before Sunday NFL games. (I think...) And, Flip Wilson... :) Mrs. HiWiggins (sp?) on The Carol Burnet Show, followed by ... ugh ... Suzane Pleshette played the wife to a guy that was a T... ahh... The Bob Newhart Show!!!

I'm so glad, Albatross. I started playing around with memory-prompts like this precisely because they help me remember some of the smiles amidst the tears and scars. When I first had the scariest break-through memories I over-generalized my anger and hate toward anything that reminded me of...

(((hugs big and warm as sunrises for all))) I'm anxious. Our road conditions aren't great here due to Sandy; slush and lots of wind. I'm thankful, though, that I live on the very outer fringe of the Sandy havoc. And, I feel weary for all those who are going to have even more worries or...

Oh, my brother adored The Rifleman and I remember Dark Shadows, too. I remember loving Daktari (I think that was the name of it...). Oh, and Adam 12 and Emergency. (I had a crush on some of the actors in those shows:inlove:).

Maybe y'all can help me out on what the proper name of this game was because I can only describe it: (you might be old school if...) you played with an electric and magnetized (U.S.) football field, placed your players on the field; then, turned it on to an awful rattling sound that made the...

You might be old school if you remember when hand-held hair dryers and curling irons replaced the colossal hair-drying units and hair curlers that you slept in (ouch).

Watching the news right now and I so hope anyone in the Sandy area is ok and finding support in real space/time. My heart and thoughts are with you.

(((Venusian))) I so hope the surgery goes well. I'm with you on that delayed-response before taking care of health problems when they first came up. It's such a problem that many of us have. I've had two examples in the last 7 years, making things worse and worse (requiring some sort of...

Yea! The Watusi and the Twist. And a decade or so later the Funky Chicken. Yeh, I remember that too; then, as a bus-girl at a restaurant, when I'd ask if anyone wanted a refill, the same ol' joke, "Well, that all depends there, young lady: is it leaded or unleaded?" *** You know you're old...

I am grateful for managing to get through work despite my exhaustion.

Thanks Pottershand. (Something funny: all this time I thought your name was Pottersshard -- which probably tells you something about my unfortunate plants and my bad luck with terra cotta!)

Thanks IntotheLight. It was a really nice day. Hope you are doing well.

Love it!!!!! :hilarious: Or, if static in your hair made you look more "far-out" than you really were!

(((Charmedone))) I hope your pain lessons. **** I don't wanna deal with another winter of chapped skin, cold joints and static-tangled hair. (Make self-care even more onerous a task.) But I wouldn't mind a snow day and some smores. :sneaky:

I love doing stuff like that! *** You might be a bit old school if you remember when Crayola started adding built-in sharpeners to it's 101 crayon box. (I've got dibs on the cornflower blue!)

Night and Day

Yeh, Britt, that's a good one. It's hard to play a superhero without a decent phone booth around!

Thanks all for the b-day wishes. I ate a lot of fun stuff! So, now it's back to fiber tablets and lots of water.;)
