    As terrible as this sounds I feel bad for Whitney Houston's daughter. I cannot understand a life without a mother

    Agreed. Whitney is beyond all the pain now, but her daughter is left without her mother. For all the loss the rest of us may feel, her daughter suffers the greatest.

    Cleaned out the last of my Gramma's stuff today with the family.. It's weird walking into that house I'd walked into so many times before without the familiar 'Whoo iss it??' resonating from that warm person. I truely miss her more than anything, but am extremely grateful that I was able to spend one last Christmas Eve with her and the entire family together. :love:

    ^ Woah. ;o

    I have uni work to do, due tomorrow, that I need to have finished within the next two hours as I have to go to London and won't get back until like 2am. Yaaay. Yet here I am still procrastinating... motivation, where are you? Siigh, this is really frustrating because I know I have a lot to do but I have absolutely no drive to get it done. I know I need to just do it but it's hard to push myself to. Arghhh.

    An hour ago, I found my greyhound Wolfie collapsed in the garden. It was raining, he was soaked but couldn't get up. I couldn't lift him and none of the neighbours were in so I covered him with blankets and an umbrella and called my husband to come home from work. Soon after, we managed to get him into the car and to the vet. He is now stable but still unable to get up. They don't know what's wrong with him. He is being transported to a specialist hospital now.
    I would appreciate if some of you can spare a thought or a prayer for my little chap. He is a good boy and a sweetheart, I hope so much that he survives this and gets well again.

    Edit: this is him, a silly photo I snapped a few years ago, just after we rescued him. He loves squirrels :D

    Thanks so much art! He is in doggie ICU and responding to his name, he seems to have had a seizure and hurt himself badly when he fell, but he is getting better, fingers crossed.

    Im new, but i love threads like this.

    My personal gripe (about my writing) is that i am very bad at transitioning from one scene to another. Its hard for me to get my characters in and out the door, because i guess my mind likes to keep them in the place they already are. I end up writing far too much, or far to little if i try to counter this habit.

    After having to spend yesterday off work, I've been sent home today with the same problems (nausea, hot and cold spells, backache). Wouldn't mind too much, but I don't get sick pay yet. And since I've come home I've started to feel far sharper, which annoys me even more.

    Somebody needs to tell the weather it's supposed to be spring! I just shuffled enough snow for the kids next door to build an igloo. At least they are happy.

    Well.. today has been the first day I've been through town, or at that since anyone was allowed to be in town after the tornado on March 2nd.. My town.. doesn't look like a town. Pictures certainly cannot ever begin to show how horrible it really looks.

    Don't worry too much, you're really not missing out. It's like touching ice, except it melts faster, and you have to shovel it out of your driveway. :p

    Darn Jay, I'm sorry that happened. I really hope everyone made it out of that alright. I offer my condolences to the people of your town.

    Nothing too major, but my mid-term exams never make me very happy. So I guess they go here.

    That sucks. Is everyone okay? Remember that the U.S. has great technology - I bet your town will look close to normal within a month or so. Hang in there!

    Thinking of you Jay.

    My not happy post is, I can not get heatlhy. I have had some sort of upper respiratory thing going on since January. I get better for 2 or 3 days and then get slammed again with cold or flu like symptoms. I am simply sick and tired of being sick.

    Hey BF, I hope it gets better soon! I had 4 courses of antibiotics before it all cleared up, it took 2 months, there are nasty viruses going around at the moment.

    I am not happy because I am so hungry but I just can't make myself cook something. I am sick of sandwiches, there's no fruit... and dinner is not for another 4 hours! :(

    Thanks Jazzy. Doctor says he thinks my sinus infection never cleared up, so yay, stronger meds. C-diff, here I come. No I lie. Unless a patient gives it to me. I'm kicking up the acidophilus as well. He told me to use saline spray and I'm hesitating because I'm not THAT congested. It's all the other symptoms that have me down. The pain. The aches and the dizziness.

    Regarding your food. Yuck to sandwiches. I don't eat them. Do you have any nuts around (not the crazy kind) or protein bars? Or maybe you're just thirsty. ;)
