White, Jewish female, born and raised on the East Coast. Moved to SLC in '99. My history is long, and terribly sad, but my life is much better now. 1 husband, 5 kidz, 2 dogz. First grandchild born 8/13/08 (Josephine Mariana Cameron). Currently at home: Vanessa, 20, and her baby, Jo.Michael and Marcella, 16-year old twins. I do have several health problems, including Bipolar Disorder/GAD. But I try every day to live in the recovery mode, and encourage others to do the same. Lots of people have told me I should have been a therapist or social worker. I am nurturing, and try too hard to fix people. I am very emotional, but not nearly as stupid as I used to be! I've learned to laugh, and to speak up for myself (finally!). I get angry, but I usually have a good reason. I am passionate about human rights - especially for those with disabilities. I fight hard to change the the system when the system need to be changed. Hmm, my husband and a daughter have Bipolar Disorder; my son has Schizo-Affective Disorder/Asperbergers Syndrome. The other three are just neurotic! I am also told, all the time, that I look 40 instead of 54.

Sometime this year, we taxpayers may again receive an Economic Stimulus payment.
This is a very exciting new program. I will explain it using the Q and A format:
Q. What is an Economic Stimulus payment?
A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.
Q. Where will the government get this money?
A. From taxpayers.
Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?
A. Only a smidgen.
Q. What is the purpose of this payment?
A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.
Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China ?
A. Shut up.
Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the US economy by spending your stimulus check wisely:
* If you spend the stimulus money at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China .
* If you spend it on gasoline, your money will go to the Arabs.
* If you purchase a computer, it will go to India .
* If you purchase fruit and vegetables, it will go to Mexico , Honduras and Guatemala .
* If you buy a car, it will go to Japan .
* If you purchase useless stuff, it will go to Taiwan .
* If you pay your credit cards off, or buy stock, it will go to management bonuses and they will hide it offshore.
Instead, keep the money in America by:
1 spending it at yard sales, or
2 going to hockey/ball games, or
3 spending it on prostitutes, or
4 beer or
5 tattoos.
(These are the only American businesses still operating in the US ..)

I'm going to go to a ball game with a tattooed prostitute that I met at a yard sale, and drink beer! Just call me a patriot.
Four Catholic men and a Catholic woman were having coffee.
The first Catholic man tells his friends, "My son is a priest. When he walks into a room everyone says, 'Father'."
The second Catholic man chirps, "My son is a Bishop. When he walks into a room people say, 'Your Grace'."
The third Catholic gent says, "My son is a Cardinal. When he enters a room everyone says, 'Your Eminence'."
The fourth Catholic man says, "My son is the Pope. When he walks into a room people say 'Your Holiness'."
The lone Catholic woman was sipping her coffee in silence, so the four men give her a subtle, "Well....?"
She replies, "I have a daughter who's tall, blond and measures 38DD-24-36. When she walks into a room, people say, 'My God'.
Afternoon Sex
The only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon 'quickie' with their 8-year old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony with a Popsicle and tell him to report on all the neighborhood activities.
He began his commentary as his parents put their plan into operation:
- 'There's a car being towed from the parking lot,' he shouted.
- 'An ambulance just drove by!'
- 'Looks like the Andersons have company,' he called out.
- 'Matt's riding a new bike!'
- 'Looks like the Sanders are moving!'
- 'Jason is on his skate board!'
- After a few moments he announced, 'The Coopers are screwing!!'
Startled, his mother and dad shot up in bed! Dad cautiously called out, 'How do you know they're screwing?'
'Jimmy Cooper is standing on his balcony with a Popsicle.'

LITTLE JOHNNY STRIKES AGAIN..........
The teacher asked the class to use the word "fascinate" in a sentence.
Molly put up her hand and said, "My family went to my grand dad's farm, and we all saw his pet sheep. It was fascinating."
The teacher said, "That was good, but I wanted you to use the word "fascinate, not fascinating".
Sally raised her hand. She said, "My family went to see Rock City and I was "fascinated."
The teacher said, "Well, that was good Sally, but I wanted you to use the word "fascinate."
Little Johnny raised his hand. The teacher hesitated because she had been burned by little Johnny before. She finally decided there was no way he could damage the word "fascinate", so she called on him. Johnny said, "My aunt Gina has a sweater with ten buttons, but her tits are so big she can only fasten eight."
The teacher sat down and cried!
I am so angry, frustrated and hurt right now I won't be coherent, so bear with me. I am not even a nice person anymore. And I don;t know if I coiuld get stuff out without exploding, or write enough to explain and make sense. I am glad to know there is a place that may be safe. I need to be told when I'm wrong and when I'm right. Generally, the atmosphere says that I am always wrong. My marriage is in jeopardy, my relationships with my natural children suck, my life sucks and I'm giving up.
Read my profile and be my friend! Treated for depression since childhood - dx'd bi-polar in my early thirties. Genetic, environmental...much, much better but life has really sucked at times!
Been doing this a long, long time, but I'm still standing. Besides me, my husband and two of our five kids are BP. I've run the gamut, know a lot, and learn more every day.
