Happy Thursday, everyone. I used write poetry growing up, I have books of it, and in multiple languages. It was my way of coping with moving around a lot, culture shock, and other just teenage angst. Once I got into the Marines, I stopped for some reason.

Allergies are kicking my ass. I coughed and wheezed all night. And this morning I woke up feeling like I was in a bar fight with pollen and the pollen won.

In a bit of good news.... one of my cousins is getting married next weekend and hubby and I are going. They live in LA in the Pasadena area. They had to evacuate for the fires, but luckily their home neither the wedding venue were destroyed, so wedding date is still on as scheduled. My cousin is part Indonesian and part Taiwanese and his fiance is a white woman. So it has been requested that the Asian side of the family wear traditional Sundanese, Javanese, or Tawaianese attire. I have no idea what the bride's side of the family will be wearing lol.

I ordered several outfits from overseas and had them tailored to fit me comfortably. I will bring an outfit plus a backup outfit in case of weather changes. I am really looking forward to going. My mom decided she is going, too. She wants to show off her slim figure after losing nearly 120 lbs! Can't blame her!

Morning Leo - I'm a fan of E.E. Cummings. I haven't looked at any poetry in quite a while unless something pops up online.

Woke up this morning feeling like someone jack hammered my shoulders, neck and right arm. Nauseous too. This is from the second shingles vaccine. I really hate getting any vaccines. Now I have to figure out why two vaccines that I had, don't show on my state issued record. Going to call Medicare about it.

It's sunny but cold here again today. I still have to finish my cleaning project and pull the cord covers off of the desktop so it can be moved on Saturday. In some ways, I'm dreading the whole switch. It's a lot and I'm sure that my anxiety will go beserk in some fashion or another.

Not much else to report. My partner is painting at our friends house and I am left to my own devices. I have a bunch of Youtube videos to watch to learn about Mac. I know some things but it will be a learning curve.

Waves!

"But You Didn't"
By Merrill Glass

Remember the time you lent me your car and I dented it?
I thought you'd kill me...
But you didn't.

Remember the time I forgot to tell you the dance was
formal, and you came in jeans?
I thought you'd hate me...
But you didn't.

Remember the times I'd flirt with
other boys just to make you jealous, and
you were?
I thought you'd drop me...
But you didn't.

There were plenty of things you did to put up with me,
to keep me happy, to love me, and there are
so many things I wanted to tell
you when you returned from
Vietnam...
But you didn't.

Not a big poetry person, but I do like Robert Frost. Late getting on here because I tried to sleep after I showered. I haven't had good luck with napping lately. I'm exhausted and it's hard to keep my eyes open, but I still can't sleep -_-

Why are two people who don't have Fibromyalgia on this chat chain???

LEAVE NOW we don't want you here, nobody does. You don't have Fibromyalgia and nothing to add but problems LIKE HACKING MY ACCOUNT BLUWAVE AND BLUESKY!!! Seriously, what IS WRONG WITH YOU???

Read the proverbs bible scripture.

Gee, I wonder what fake profile you've concocted now, IT Hacker Husband of Bluesky that charged me $300 for a birthday dinner then turned around and hacked my account. You are disgusting, mentally twisted and get off on harrassing and ruining other's lives. You took down a federally licensed professional with the SEC. Do you really want federal charges against you?? Because the law is clear on this. You're wife doesn't have fibromyalgia. I should know because I stayed in your house for days upon days over several years now. I have witnessed first hand her charlatan ways about faking her illness. Yes, she may have ehler's danlos, but nothing else but an unwillingness to work, but spend time lying and concocting stories about others. Sewing division is your game. You get off on it, now It's folie a deux and YOU BOTH ARE SICK. GET HELP!!


LEAVE.

NOONE

WANTS

YOU

HERE

Wow JP. Blue has been here a long time . I don't believe you when you say that she doesn't have fibro.

People who have fibromyalgia have fascia problems, are on meds, have constant pain, parasympathetic nervous system problems, endocrine problems, inflammatory problems, and more. I have seen none of these especially when someone can walk all day while traveling. Funny that.

JP, I can walk all day when traveling, I run, I have a job where I move around a lot. I have constant pain and fatigue and a number of other things-my coworkers don't know I have it. Not commenting or getting in the middle of the situation with you and Blue, just saying...we all know too well that other people doubt our pain on a daily basis, there's no need to do it on here.

Thanks, Miki and Milily. You all know how fibro goes: we have good days and bad days. If my pain can come down to a level 4, then it is a good day for me. :)
And even on the bad days, I try to hide it as much as I can. But, you all know exactly how that goes.

I really don't appreciate all the lies this person is spreading on this forum. I have done nothing to hurt anyone here on DS and I usually mind my own business. This person is highly toxic and delusional.

You've done nothing. You HACKED MY ACCOUNT AND TOOK 12 YEARS OF JOURNALS BECAUSE I ENDED THE FRIENDSHIP. YOURE A LIAR AND A FRAUD.
You're mother who send back food afyer she eats it taught you well. You were not IN 9/11, You DROVE thebofficers there. Even your husband did a double take on that.
D.s. ate my ling list of very detailed accounts and I won't waste my time here. All I know is that I came here for support for my fibromyalgia and I came across a psycho person who pretends she is a victim, then behind closed doors where Noone can see, has her IT husband hack somebody's account who had just had everyone's things stolen from her to kick her while she's down.

IF THAT'S WHO YOU WANT ON THIS BOARD WHO DOESN'T SHARE ANYTHING WORTHWHILE ABOUT FIBROMYALGIA like studies, or eating habits or alternative therapies routinely, go for it. I am old enough to see the con women in my life. If you are not, maybe one day you'll find out. Being a "person" online and in person are two very different things.

BTW, I believe my birth mother had fibromyalgia as the doctors told my mom that at an early age i needed to be in stretching classes, and studies show it can be genetic.

And, I did use a physical trainer in my 30's, ran and did pull-ups which few women can do. But as you age, it gets worse. And as you have additional accidents, for me.

I am so disappointed that you cannot backup the fact these people HAVKED MY ACCOUNT AND DESTROYED 12 YEARS OF JOURNALS COMMENTS AND COURT DOCUMENTS I NEED. HOW WOULD YOU FEEL???

I AM DISGUSTED. ILL FIND A WORTHY BOARD THAT CHERISHES MY THOYGHT WORTHY INPUT AND FARING NATURE. YOU DEFEND A LIAR, A CHARLATAN, A FILIES A DEUX THAT HETS OFF ON RUINING OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES BECAUSE THEY HURT THEIR FEELINGS. WOW. IM SICKENED BY THIS LACK OF SUPPORT. I ONLY GRAVITATE TOWARDS HEALTHY PEOPLE NOW. AND THIS AIN'T IT.
