    Saturday, December 27, 2008 | A Sad story

    It is four oclock in the morning and I am standing on the back deck, it is misty, warm and a bit erie like we are in a cloud.  I am barefoot and wearing a navy blue dress I have had on for three days and nights, and that is it well except for the drips and slops down the front, coffee, soup, dog hair and dried tears.  I am watching the outline of my dog go to the bathroom by the lellow ...

    Friday, December 26, 2008 | A Painful story

    I am shocked and destroyed, my brother has gone from our lives, leaving us in hellish grief and pain.
    I would say it just couldnt get any worse, but it could, I am worried about my other brother, Brents' identicle twin Lyle.
    I have been sobbing, this was not supposed to happen like this, it is crazy I will have to write this later, I cant see the screen

  • Strike the root

    Thursday, November 19, 2009 | A Call For Help story

    "Society today, is composed of a series of institutions. From political institutions,  legal institutions, religious institutions. To institutions of social class, familiar values,and occupational specialization.
    It is obvious, the profound influence these traditionalized structures have in shaping our understandings and perspectives. Yet, of all the social institutions, we are born into...

  • I wonder if a person could hack anothers profile?

    Tuesday, November 11, 2008 | A Painful story

    I have now been accused of saying some pretty nasty stuff, stuff I wouldnt say.  I wonder if it is possible for someone to use my profile and say nasty things to people I dont even know.  I am very nervous about this as there are some pretty mean people on here in places.
    I am out of the depression group and left the chronic pain group for both groups just being mean to others.
    I just don...

  • Dreaming.....

    Tuesday, April 29, 2008 | A Sad story

    I dreamt about my mother last night.  I don't remember much except that she was sitting in a wheelchair and she had her Alzheimer's.  Like it was at the end.  But for some reason, she had that blissfully unaware Alzheimer's.  The blank look, empty smile.  Not the agitated, anxious, upset Alzheimer's that my mom had.  I got to hug her.  I buried m...

    Wednesday, December 31, 2008 | A Sad story

    This has been a very stressful year, I am glad it is over.
    I hope all of my friends are ok and will have a wonderful 2009.  I am not in the mood to celebrate tonight, I am still a big pile of tear stained goo.  My brother will be missed so much, it is like my family is forever damaged.  Growing up the kids were like the group that couldnt be beat, there were six of us, four boys and...

    Monday, June 9, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    I've been thinking a LOT about the future--
    My biggest goal being to have a family, and I have always ALWAYS known that adoption was going to play a major part of that (since I was a YOUNG child I always said I was going to adopt)..
    I am going to need a LOT of mental help dealing with this. The moment kids are brought up... it's like a whole new war broke out and I was hit with some shrapn...

    Tuesday, February 26, 2008 | A Funny story

    Never underestimate your kids.  Overheard in carpool today:
    (I was taking to Jordan about painting a birthday canvas for her Auntie Liz today and the others were interested.)
    Joby: Jordan, do you have orange to paint the sun?
    Jordan: Do I mommy?
    Me: Nope.  (distractedly asked) what color paints do you need to make yellow 
    (I said I was distracted, people)?
    Jordan: You can't make ye...
