Do they have these dumb adds on this site. I understand that the site needs them to pay for it, but things like "Bipolar Kills"? Great thing to let us know, like we dont know it already and need to be reminded about it. And I also dont care about wrinkles. Maybe some of the young ones do, but every wrinkle I have, I earned proudly.

I agree 100% any add or anything that could be seen as a trigger should be removed asap. last thing we need is for people that are feeling low to see something like that. i know myself i get down on myself for being bi-polar, anxiety and i feel like i am a burden last thing i need to see is adds with ways to "fix" us with costly treatments. so in my mind i turn this add into "i am going to be like this forever. i will have panic attacks forever and i will always need someone to take care of me unless i get this treatment. OMG i can't afford this treatment i will burden friends and family for cost of this treatment" ect ect ect
the other adds (non mental health related) i don't mind because i understand the cost of web hosting but the mental health adds are no good.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
