    Good lord, I'm so sorry. If you need someone to talk to, I'm always just a PM away.

    I don't have much advice for most of that, never having been in your situation, but in regards to your father, I think you would be wise to not reply. My family was in a familiar situation with my grandfather, and it finally got to the point where he would send cards to my little siblings promising gifts, but only if my mom would talk to him. Cutting him out of our lives was definitely the right call in that situation, and it sounds like it would be in yours, too.

    I hope things get easier for you. :(

    Wow, that's some bullsh*t. I hope they reimburse you!

    Jesus, what is it with accidents recently? There was a helicopter crash here yesterday that killed at least three people, and the type of heli was a very, very safe one, so no one knows how it happened.

    Poor people on that train. :(

    not happy with my blog today.
    as soon as I get something working something else comes up to frustrate me.
    right now I am attempting to get comment boxes at the bottom of each page.
    I can only get it to show up on the last page.
    The blog is slowly coming together but I am getting a few more grey hairs with
    every new problem. I don't have that many brown ones to go either.
    if anyone has a solution that might work could you pm me.

    I'm not very tech savvy, or I would help. :( But I hope you get your problems fixed soon! Tech issues can be very frustrating.

    I have a doctor appointment tomorrow. :( I need to go, so it's not like I'm like grrr, I'm wasting money to go to the doctor, but it always makes me nervous when I go that they're going to find something. *scared*

    Our new apartment is a really nice duplexs with its own garden so we can pretend we're living in a house. Well, we went a bit crazy at the weekend in the garden. My husband was building a barbie and I was pulling up and hacking through the weeds. The kids, needless to say, watched us from inside, making little finger-winding-to-temple movements from time to time and falling about laughing at us.

    Anyway, my back is just killing me now. I could hardly crawl in to work today. And my hands are blistered and scratched something terrific. My nails are all gone, and my fingers can't open properly, they're like little black-rimmed claws.

    Note to self: no more antics in the garden until we've bought all the proper gardening tools, and especially GLOVES duhhh....

    S'why I love him :redface:

    Or atleast, it was the first attraction alongside his eyes (which are pure gorgeousness). Clever guys = yum.


    I'm not unhappy, just feeling a bit 'ugh'. My lady time just ended and I feel like i've been living in a ditch for five days. D:

    I am always surprised by just how much he knows. It's creepy.

    His answer is just books and obsessively looking things up. =/ I think it has alot to do with the way his brain is like a sponge, where as mine is like a siv. HAH.

    Still, he might be very clever, and he might be very knowledgable, but under no circumstances will I ever let him believe he knows it all ;)

    That ain't happenin', lolol.

    I'm not happy because I'm tired of getting made fun of, even in sarcastic ways.

    I got a lot of that when I was young. Things get better as you get older.

    Be happy with who you are. Don't worry what others think. Keep your chin up.

    Thanks, I'll remember that the next time I get kissed by a redheaded dog. :D
    It's not so much about what it is but rather who it is, I'm rather sensitive in the areas they poke fun of. It's one of my "weak" points I guess.

    Thanks. The last time that I went in for a checkup, I got some bad news, so now it makes me nervous every time I go. Poor doctor...it's not her fault I'll never be happy to see her...:rolleyes:

    But on the bright side, I'll bet your garden looks amazing.

    Thanks. I hope you're feeling happier now, too.

    Dude, Joel is like that too. It always throws me off a little bit.

    Ashleigh, I hope you're feeling better.

    Tonight I am not happy...I'm not sad or angry, I'm just not happy. I feel so ordinary, so simple. It has just been one of those days when, as a woman, you wake up and everything looks wrong and nothing seems quite right. I want to barricade my closet and never have to go in there again and then go into the bathroom, take the scissors, and chop off all my hair. *sigh* ...not a great day.

    Sounds like it would be a good day to just put behind you. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

    Ever have those days when you're up and suddenly you realize that things just suck right now? I don't have any friends, an apartment with only one bedroom, my husband is either working (graveyard shift) or in school (1pm - 5pm), I don't have a job (stupid economy) so I'm always in that tight little apartment, and we don't have the money to change any of it (stupid economy). Problem is... I can't really be mad about it 'cause my husband is doing his best! He works so hard to take care of me, but I'm dying of boredom!!! I only got internet a few days ago so maybe this'll help, but I'm going crazy! I'm inside all the time and it's dark so no sunlight... I've had depression before and this isn't helping!!! I can't complain to my husband 'cause he deals with crazy random shisnit (he works security) and there's not much he can do right now. I can't complain to friends... don't have any (sucky graveyard shift). So I decided to throw it into your laps. Sorry. Ooh... rants are fun!

    I hate days like that. Hopefully tomorrow will be better for you!

    Do you exercise at all? I was out of work briefly this time last year, and it was really depressing for me when I was just stuck at home, so finally I started working out to give myself something to do for at least part of the day. It was a small thing, but it helped, and walking or going for a jog outside is free. :)

    I don't have a lot of friends, either, and being stuck at home alone frequently really drags me down, too, so I feel for you. :( I hope things get better for you soon! And if you need someone to talk to, there's usually a friendly ear around here. We're cool people.

    Skydaughter~You sound like me when I first was married. We lived in a small (very tiny) apartment, I had no friends, no job, and I suffered from depression...still do. It was tough, really tough but I had to find some kind of outlet, for me it was journaling and writing. I suppose the thing to remember is this, make the most out of where you are in your life. By the way, Hidden makes a good point concerning exercise...it lessens your stress and helps with depression. I truly do wish you the best.

    Yeah, I've heard exercise is excellent for depression and am looking for something that works. I hate to start, do it for a couple days, and then just kinda slack and fall off routine. Motivation is my major weakness. There's always a reason not to do it. "We're on the upper floor, don't want to disturb the downstairs neighbors." "It's too dark, gotta be safe." etc etc. I used to have dance classes in high school and loved the feeling of fitness... but hated the classes sometimes. I know! If I want help, I have to help myself first. The only person holding me back is me. It's just so hard sometimes!!! Yeah, I can be a big baby. lol

    You're totally right about the motivation thing. I love working out once I get into it, but it's the first week or so of doing it that's the hardest. I used to be really good about working out, but then I got married, and I didn't work out for like three weeks because I was so busy planning everything, and then we were on our honeymoon, so now I have to try to remotivate myself. Urgh. We can motivate each other! ;)
