What is making you SAD right now...

[Rowan]

So after a week, no more PTO time at work, and still no voice, I was pretty much forced to resign today. I have been crying for hours because I dont know what IM going to do to be able to pay my rent ($500 a month) or car payment ($390) a month. Im applying for Unemployment, and praying so hard I get it, but i dont know if they'd give it to me since it was a resignation...even though it was forced. My work also told me if fired i can never go back to work for them and a resignation looks much better than a firing. I am so sick and tired and hate my life.

I know people say that life is a God given gift...well he gave me a broken one, so Id like to have it fixed or returned please. *sigh*

I know it's kind of after the fact & all, but would you have qualified for FMLA due to medical reasons?

[Mishty]

You can't always get what you (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxkdmL3iMCY) want. :really sad:

[graphicsgal]

I am sad that I have to rely on others for help...my income just doesn't provide enough for the boys and I. It seems like every road is a dead end and sometimes it is very very hard for me to keep going.

Had to have been there a year to qualify for it :(

[Twilley]

the fear that I'm wrecking this relationship, too v__v

[Your Plump Princess]

He never says the right things, or at least, the things I'd wish he'd say..

[mimosa]

I just found out my godmother passed away from breast cancer. :( There was no funeral. She did not want one.


What sucks worse is that no one told me. They were trying to protect me in someway. That is not the answer! :(

[CastingPearls]

To everybody hurting right now (((((((((((hugs)))))))))))

[ButlerGirl09]

The fact that I got attacked while waiting on the train platform today. Some people are just really pathetic. It makes me upset that he came after me because he thought I'd be an easy target--Proved him wrong.

[BigBeautifulMe]

((((((((((((((Madison))))))))))))) what happened, girl? Are you okay?!

[ButlerGirl09]

((((((((((((((Madison))))))))))))) what happened, girl? Are you okay?!

I'm relatively fine--A few broken nails and a tweaked ankle. He got a few hits at my stomach but I was wearing a puffy winter jacket that softened the blows. So hopefully there won't be any bruises.

I saw the train approaching and I left the warming station. I had seen the guy looking at me and a split second before it happened I knew exactly what he was going to do. I had just taken my phone out of my pocket and he attempted to knock it out of my hand it take it. He also grabbed ahold of my wrist and the strap on my bag. We were literally entangled.

You can take my stuff that's fine. But when you violate and go after my personal space and body then I'm going to get pissed. So I fought back. Kicked his shins, hit his chest, and eventually pushed him onto the ground.

Just saddens me what some people would stoop to... Thank you for your concern, Ginny. It really is appreciated!

[Kenster102.5]

Did you press charges? Did you get your stuff back?

[ButlerGirl09]

Did you press charges? Did you get your stuff back?

After he got up from the ground he ran off and he didn't actually get any of my things despite his best efforts.

[Lovelyone]

I am so sorry that you had to go through this, but I am so happy to know that you weren't seriously injured. That bastard has some nasty Karma coming his way and I hope he gets it by way of a thunderbolt up his ass.

My mother passed away 6 months ago, yesterday. Today would have been her 70th birthday. I thought I was handling the grief pretty well until I remembered that today was her birthday.

[VickiNicole]

what is making me sad is that I am extremely lonely and feel unlovable
I wish I could find a man to love me forever, and lay in his arms night after night for eternity.
I have never had that feeling

[Micara]

Just heard today that my former job is laying off upwards of 100 people- the entire pressroom and mailroom- and right before Christmas. I feel really bad for them, as I knew a lot of them and they were awesome, stand-up guys.

At the same time, I am really thankful that I was laid off back in July and am already in a wonderful, more secure, and higher-paying job. I hope that they are able to find the same!

[Aliena]

I wanted to send out some positve vibes for all of you that are sad. I read through the last few pages of this thread and my heart just went out to all of you. Please know that love can be found, doors close while other ones open, and advesities can strengthen our character. Big hugs...

[Mishty]

This plan to halt college till I'm 30 may come back to haunt me.
MY desire for higher education has just...left. I have no desire to continue, I want to do something I enjoy, and when I'm done I want to do something else. One career path isn't going to work for me, and I'm more upset that my parents are going to be upset with my lack of motivation than with any fears of withdrawing and leaving school.
If I wanted it, I'd have it.

I just want to dream, live and be. No more plans.

I'm more confused than sad, but it's a major emotion right now.

Ugh, that's awful timing that an employer would do that when Christmas is right around the corner. Hope things turn out ok for them, especially with this lousy economy.

Is your paper closing? I live with this fear every day. I think our only saving grace is that we are so rural...we are the only paper that covers 9 counties.

I lost my iPod today. I just got back from retracing my steps and I'm on the verge of crying... :really sad:

[Lovelyone]

It's sad being single on the holidays with no one to share the spirit with.

Keep the hope alive. I thought I lost mine and 3 weeks later I found it.

That March can't get here fast enough!

[The Fez]

The first ten minutes of Up

I will forever cry at this movie

[snuggletiger]

Feeling blaze` and somewhat depressed. NOt sure how to shake those feelings away

[supersoup]

The first ten minutes of Up

I will forever cry at this movie

The first time I saw that movie, those first ten minutes DESTROYED me. I was sniffly and snotty and teary. Now when I watch it, I still tear up, but it's like a bittersweet type thing. Love love love that movie.

[The Fez]

Yeah it's probably my favourite movie of the past couple years

But my god

When she falls walking up the hill

:(

[Donna]

Thank God I am not the only one who cried watching 'Up'.

Me: *sniff*
Hubby: "what's wrong?"
Me: "nothing" *sniff, sniff*
Hubby: "Are you crying?"
Me: *sniff* "Um, no." *sniff*
Hubby: "Dammit you are crying! Why are you crying at a cartoon?"
Me: "'Cause I can't help it, it's sooo sad!" *full on wail*
Hubby: "You must be hormonal."

I think the shoe I threw at him missed his head by about half an inch. :D

[Luv2BNaughty]

Glad to know there are more 'hormonals' out there than just myself. (((hugs y'all)))

[Your Plump Princess]

oh my god, I took my brother to see "Up" in theaters, and I wound up silently sobbing through the beginning, too.


..Right now?
I'm sad because my most beloved local television show "Ned the Dead" is going off-air after this saturdays episode, and they are going to turn their show [which is actually them in costume ripping on classic "B" movies.] online. Which means.. Me (Ms. I don't have a sound card) won't be able to watch them anymore. :really sad: They made my Saturday nights alone so awesome for so long.

[Aliena]

That I can't put one foot in front of the other and walk my arse out the door. I live w/fear and paranoia; such a coward!

[CAMellie]

Mala, my best friend of 15 years, has been battling non small cell lung cancer for 3 years now. They stopped her chemo today, said that there was nothing else they could do for her (she tried a number of clinical trials...they all failed), and gave her less than 2 months to live.
I'm beyond sad right now...I'm devastated

[HottiMegan]

All the crying at Up reminds me of the time we took my brother in law to see Toy Story at teh $1 theater. He has Cerebral Palsy and can't control his volume to well when he gets emotional. So we're watching the movie and at some point it get emotional and he just starts sobbing and it sounds like a moose or something. He just apologizes and says "damn Disney movies". He cries at a lot of disney movies. It's sweet.

I too get a little choked up with that bit on Up. It's a bittersweet part of the movie. I too got teary at Toy Story 3. It made me realize my kids are growing up too fast.

At the end, when Andy plays with all of them one last time with the little girl....man. I was a sob box. To be honest though I've cried on all the Toy Story movies. :blush:

The weirdest thing was though, Harry Potter(7.1) made me cry.... a lot.

[mimosa]

A few weeks ago, I lost a man that I thought was the closest thing I had to a soul mate. I am still grieving the loss of that relationship.

Not being with my son on Christmas for the first time is very sad for me.

It's not looking too good. But all of my music is backed up and if worse comes to worse, I'm going to get a new one that's cheaper.

[Gingembre]

Tomorrow I have to ask my dad if he wants me to lend him money so he can get my mum a Christmas present....I'm not sure how to broach it and we're not that close so it's going to be horribly awkward for us both. I hate that he's got things in such a state financially that I have to ask, and I know he feels the same.

Also I found out yesterday (even though i've been on leave y'day and today) that the company i work for is laying off 19 people....that's 1/3 of the company. Think they've finally realised that they've expanded too quickly. Pretty sure my job is safe which is good (especially considering the above paragraph), but i feel bad because I think i'll be kept on even though i hate my job/the company and there are others there that really like it. *sigh* The office atmosphere wasn't particularly cheery before...i'm sure it's ruddy awful now. :(

[Micara]

Two things- one of my best friend's sister-in-law, who is maybe 30 at the most, collapsed while at dinner on Saturday. She had a brain aneurysm and two strokes. They don't know if she will pull out of it and told her family to prepare for the worst. She has 2 daughters, ages 3 and 5.

Also, the mayor of the town I live in killed himself this morning. There's a lot of speculation about gambling debts, unpaid taxes, and missing money from an estate he was executor of. But nevertheless, he was a nice guy. Really friendly. I feel terrible for his family, but find it even sadder that while one person is fighting for her life, another one is taking his. :(

[Aliena]

That my mother didn't make a special birthday dinner tonight. She told the birthday boy she wouldn't be there---because of me!

[OneWickedAngel]

A colleague who had to go out of town to a funeral was giving me his tickets to see Prince tonight, no charge. Yay!http://theraivenne.com/img/smiley/smiley_happy_dance-ani.gif

He forgot to leave them for me before he left town. Boo!:doh:

So he mailed them to my job USPS. Yay! :happy:

In his rush he forgot to put the agency name and floor number in the address. So I never got it. Boo! :doh:

Finally got hold of him via email last night and got the USPS tracking number. It claims it went back to the local post office on Monday. Yay!:happy:

I get to the post office this morning. My building has over twenty agencies inside, there was absolutely no way to track me down. With it marked undeliverable the USPS policy is to return to sender. Boo!:mad:

So they sent the tickets back to him and they would probably arrive today, except he and his family are where? The funeral is today (probably going on as I type this), thus by the time he even sees my email explaining it all, it will be too late to do anything. Absolutely no way to see to Purple One tonight, and I was so looking forward to it tonight. :really sad:WAAAAAAAAAH!:sad:

[cherylharrell]

I am going crazy here, My dear hubby passed on in March of 2009. I couldn't afford to stay in our home being a homemaker so I had to rent out my home and move in with my folks. When hubby was alive we would go and do as we pleased.

Well I got a thing in the mail from Lane Bryant saying that one of their stores which was an hr from me was going out of business and having a going out of business sale. I called to see how much off the stuff was and when they were closing. They are closing Dec 24 and stuff is 60% off. You'd be crazy not to go to a sale like that and see what they've got. I mentioned to my mom and she said she didn't want me going that far this time of yr. I tried to explain and she had a fit sqauwking about not wanting me to me to go and about how I had too many clothes and I didn't need anymore. She doesn't know what I need or don't need, only I do. Now that Mikes gone I can't even have a life anymore. I'm probably headed for a nervous breakdown if this keeps up. And my dad sides with my mom. Just lay off me I'm hurting over Mike. And I'm made out to be the bad guy. All because I want to have a life. It just beeping sucks. I am grateful tho my folks took me in and I love them dearly. I just wish they would see my side of things. I wish Lane Bryant had never sent me that dumb flyer.

Felt so good to get this off my chest...

After reading what ya'll have wrote my problems now seem trivial...

[mossystate]

Cheryl, your sadness is not trivial. You are mourning the loss of a life you once had, and when reminders are shoved in our faces...it's only natural to feel it. Your parents are not making the connection, and that this is not really about the clothing...but I wanted to make sure you know you were ' heard '. I understand.

[Gingembre]

I found out yesterday (even though i've been on leave y'day and today) that the company i work for is laying off 19 people....that's 1/3 of the company. Think they've finally realised that they've expanded too quickly. Pretty sure my job is safe....:(

It wasn't safe...I'm losing my job and I'm definitely not moving to the USA anymore. FML :(

[Tad]

It wasn't safe...I'm losing my job so I'm definitely not moving to the USA anymore. FML :(

(((YOU))) So sorry to hear that....and what an awful time of year to lay people off (I guess there is no good time, but couldn't they at least wait until the new year?)

As sharp as you seem, I'm sure you'll bounce back nicely, but sure a pile of stress during that bouncing part. Best wishes on getting through it with your nevers (and bank account) reasonably intact.

[Bigtigmom]

I was out of town (again), and a friend of mine passed away.

He had a heart attack in his sleep. God rest and keep Jeff Williams. You will always be "Bodiene" to me.

Peace,

[cherylharrell]

Thanks so much for the support. I think a medicine that my mom takes is what is making her grumpy like that. Wish she could stop taking it but she can't. I had seen a bracelt set in Lane Bryant I wanted but is not on sale. If I could get to that going out of business sale I could ptrobably get it cheap if it is left. Sigh. I went to going out of business sales with my hubby and now he's gone I can't go anymore. Sucks...

Prayers just said for all and those who were sick. We care...

[Shosh]

That I can't put one foot in front of the other and walk my arse out the door. I live w/fear and paranoia; such a coward!

Story of a fat girl's life, lol.

What's worse is that now as an adult, they just want sex. Oye. :doh: Makes it even worse when they're looking to build a relationship with a "model-esque" type and yet just want someone like me on the side for sex.

Not happening, and makes me lose that much more faith in humanity.

That's exactly how it is. I actually have a few friends that does that type of stuff. It bothers me because I know exactly how that girl must feel. Some women try to call me when they want "pleasure" as they call it but I won't do it because me, with my big heart and small brain, will fall for them.

It sucks but that's how most of humanity is today.

I'm miserable at my college. I've grown increasingly lonely and isolated over the years and I'm working up the nerve to tell my parents how unhappy I am. I haven't slept or eaten since yesterday afternoon. The school I'm looking at is so much better than where I am currently. I'm a wreck over this. :really sad:

[Buttah]

that i feel so inadequate and i dont know when i'll ever see my full self-worth

[willowmoon]

I found out late last night while reading Tuesday's newspaper that an ex-girlfriend's mother passed away on Sunday. It's really sad and certainly very unexpected -- her mom was only 49. The last time I saw her mom was around two years ago while shopping and we chatted quite a bit. I'll be attending the funeral today to offer my condolences. And the ex-girlfriend and I parted on good terms so I'm hoping it won't be an issue for me to show up. I just still can't believe her mom passed away -- I knew she had some medical issues in the past but I'm still quite shocked by it all.

[spiritangel]

Just talk to your parents and tell them how you feel. I'm sure they only want what's best for you and wouldn't want you to be miserable at school. Education is so important and you won't be able to achieve your goals if you're so unhappy. Good luck! :)

My back. I haven't had problems with it for a while, but last night it seized up on me (after the sex, at least), and while it eventually got better last night, it's just started up again now. Ugh. There goes any plans I had for the day :/

[Chode McBlob]

On Dec 21st my apartment building went up in flames while I was away at my parents in FL. So now I live in a motel. At on point I thought I might have lost everything but I didn't. However I think I made out better than the other tennants. My apartment did not get touched by the fire. Just smoke and water. But it is uninhabitable as there is no power and the door is bashed in and its boarded up. ServPro has all my stuff and it will be cleaned up and I am looking for another apartment in another community. I have had a very shitty holiday!

[Famouslastwords]

Yes... beware the vodka....


You are me from the future! That's exactly what I was drinking!

Except I was making home made lemon drops. OMG delicioso.

P.S. Can you tell me the lottery number?

After spending a little over 7 hours in the ER today, having an ultrasound and a CT Scan, this painful lump in my abdomen is a hernia :( At least I finally know what it is but now I've got to figure out how and when to have surgery done. *sigh*

If it's still the same hairstyle as in the nekkid pictures where you've got your pussy out (her cat, guys, jeeez, calm down)...I think it's hawt. Really super cute.

If it's different, well, i'm sure it's still lush. :)

Depending on the size of the hernia, most are repaired laparoscopically these days, so you have a minimum of down time.

The curvature I feel from the outside makes me think it's about the size of an orange? I have an appointment 1/31 with a place that charges by your income..and will refer me to one of two places..so hopefully I can get through this without a totally overwhelming bill since I don't have insurance.

Abdominal hernias are manageable depending on whether there is constriction (or 'strangulation' to use the medical parlance). I lived with an inguinal hernia for many years without realizing it, and figured the side effects of temporary constriction was simply indigestion. The big concern is if a part of the bowel gets strangulated, becomes hypoxic and dies, then you end up with either sepsis or a colostomy, which is never a good thing. If the hernia is the size of an orange (either an actual tear or a weakening of the peritoneum), it's probably not small enough to get strangulated. Either way I know they can be very painful.

I hope you find someone to fix it affordably.

The good news out of all of it is that it is non-obstructive.

That I had to basically yell at my boss today in order to get her to do the only thing I ever ask her to do, which is pay me. It was bad enough going through Christmas and New Year without any money because she decided to go on holiday without paying me, but it's getting beyond a joke now. I don't want to have to yell at people just to fill their end of a very basic bargain.

[Aust99]

Amy, In Australia we can call "wageline" to report or get advice if we are having trouble getting paid/ getting the right money.... If she can't get off her ass and follow the rules... report her. I'm sure the UK would have some similar help available.

Thanks for this Nat. I'm gonna look into it because she paid me - as well as fired me - today, but she cut two hours off my wage for what I think is an unfair reason. It was snowing one of the Saturdays that I was working, and she rang me to say I could shut shop at 2:00 and leave. I told her I had a lot of work to do, so she told me to stay until it was done. The work took until the usual closing time. Now she's saying that she definitely told me to leave at 2:00 regardless of all the work I did for her in those two extra hours. The only reason I didn't argue with her more about it was because she also accused me of opening the shop late on some days because customers had complained to her it hadn't been open. That infuriates me because I have ALWAYS been on time, well before 9:00. Took a lot of arguing just to convince her some customers are full of shit and like to tell lies to try and get discounts.

I feel lost and angry/numb right now. I wish this had all been on my own terms.

I'm sorry to hear this, Amy. I know what it's like for employers to mess around with paying wages. I hope everything gets sorted out for you soon, it's hell to live without money, especially over this time of year.

edit: Just read your second post. I'm so sorry that your employer is a complete bitch. You really deserve to be treated better than that. If that's how your being treated then I'd say you're better off not being there.

Believe me, I know it's tough finding another job but I'd rather do this than be completely messed around by an employer.

Thank you, guys. I'm trying to remind myself that I was leaving anyway and that I shouldn't be as down as I feel; I must just be upset that she had the gall to nitpick my work habits when I have made excuses for her a thousand times. I wish I'd bought up how she hands back clothes to customers when they haven't even been cleaned. Like no one fucking knew... ugh, bitch.

I got a friend upset, when I did'nt mean to. :( I did'nt mean to bother I was just trying to be friends but she never responds so I thought she was ignoring me or it was going un noticed. And I really want to meet her and maybe even make something happen and got bummed that she's seeing someone. It may not be "official" but your still seeing someone else. And then I had to go and post this on her thread when it's her personal private business. And I tried to get her to forgive me but even unfollowed me on Twitter. I just wanted to show her that I'm a nice guy and I wanted to chat and get her know her. NOT
Have her think I'm annoying or a jerk. :( AND she dosen't even have time to chat cause she's with somebody and I haven't chatted with her in the longest time. Just 5 or 10 minutes every now and then that's all I ask. We started things off on the right foot but now..I don't know :( She did'nt even get the gift I sent her through snail mail which I sent weeks ago. I don't know if it's that lady Heather or probably the mail service's fault most likely I don't know. I did'nt mean to send multiple messages either it's just I did'nt hear back and I wanted to hear some nice feedback. That's all. Now it's like she hates me and I feel awful about it. I just really want to go back to being friends and just making her happy :(

[Aust99]

When I took my families dog to the vet today to get her nails cut, she passed out and was unconscious in my arms for about 30 seconds... I was so scared... Thanks to a fast acting vet she was on oxygen and came too and seems to be ok but we are taking her back to the vet tomorrow to be checked again... I hope she is ok. My mother and father are away on holiday and they would be devastated if she passed away while they were gone. Vet thinks she has a heart murmur, she wont be alone for a few days... scary stuff...:( She is an old girl though... 16 years but don't want to lose her yet.

My heart feels like it is breaking. My brother ( 3 yrs older than me) has been fighting liver cancer for a year. He went to the hospital for an appointment to be checked and they ended up admitting him because his kidneys are failing. My Sister-in-law just called to tell me she was told his bloodwork came back with very bad numbers and that he " could go at any time ". Everyone knew this was coming but noone expected it to be now. We were hoping he could be at home with hospice when this day came, he hates the hospital and is always so unhappy there.
As much as we fought as kids we have always been very close and he has always been my big brother who was there for me and vice a versa. I don't know what I will do without him. I am very worried for my parents too as I know how hard this will be on them and on my sister-in-law. I'm a mess.:(

I don't usually post in threads like this because I don't see the benefit of dwelling on the things in my life that are disheartening - no offense intended to those who find the practice therapeutic.

I had forgot that I started this thread... and was just perusing Dims after a year away.


Well, today is the 7 month Anniversary of my mother passing away.

It was very sudden, and she was a couple of hundred miles away, so I wasn't able to be there with her. My father was, however.
A lot of folks don't get along with their parents for whatever reason, but my Mom was literally my best friend,had been all of my life.
I still wake up, thinking that she is in the other room (She lived with me on/off, since my parent's place is up in the mountains, and she usually had to be close to the hospitals down here). I call out to her, thinking that she will respond, find myself subconsciously buying food with her in mind, have to deal with constant reminders, as medical bills and other mail still arrive.

I am sad and a bit angry at myself that I keep wasting time here and elsewhere to correct people on the Internet who are quite simply, wrong in their arguments. It's their right to make said arguments, with or without reveling in varying degrees of self-serving ignorance and in some cases trollish behavior, but I get tired of shouting at a wall when it does the equivalent of non-sequitur singsong in response. I engage in too many debates equivalent to a pistol duel where my opponent is using bullshit as ammunition.

I can't tell in some of these cases whether these people are truly that ignorant or are being deliberately obtuse simply to take a contrary position, or believe it's their responsibility to stimulate balanced debate. When you drop a virtual boatload of encyclopedic knowledge on someone regarding a subject like say, astronomy, and they take one look and go "Ya know, I like the Sun. It's like the king of all the planets..." I can't help but be a bit discouraged, angry, and irritated by the prideful idiocy exemplified in the human species.

I'm not asking people to agree with me or drop rep or reveal that I triggered some sort of watershed moment where the scales were lifted from their eyes and they became open to new ways of thinking, I simply hate what has become the intellectual equivalent of conspicuous consumption, where I'm building a beautiful guitar out of reason and logic, only to see Pete Townshend play around with it for a bit and then smash it on stage as the crowd cheers.

I'm fine where I am, though we do have a creek right behind the house that can flood the park with enough rain. It's never been any sort of threat to my house, but with the wall of water due to hit Brisbane in the next 24 hours, it might make it fill up more. I've never experienced weather like this before either. I've heard that we're getting more water than the '74 floods, and those were devastating here. But what happened in Toowoomba, it's just incredibly scary.

[MisticalMisty]

I wish I didn't have to post in this thread so frequently...

But right now I'm sad because my brother was injured in an apartment fire. He's in a medically induced coma and will be for at least another 48 hours. His breathing and respiratory issues are the biggest concern now and he's at high risk for developing pneumonia. A breathing tube is inserted and his oxygen had to be increased today. The doctors already did skin grafts on his head and we'll know on Wednesday if he needs surgery to have more on his arms.

<sigh> Always something...

Oh my goodness. I am so sorry. If you need anything, please ask!

I am so, so, sorry, honey. :( Your brother and your family are in my thoughts. *gentle hugs*

I'm fine where I am, though we do have a creek right behind the house that can flood the park with enough rain. It's never been any sort of threat to my house, but with the wall of water due to hit Brisbane in the next 24 hours, it might make it fill up more. I've never experienced weather like this before either. I've heard that we're getting more water than the '74 floods, and those were devastating here. But what happened in Toowoomba, it's just incredibly scary.

You're in my thoughts, too, lady, as are the rest of those poor people. :(

I'm sad that the guy I'm seeing doesn't seem to care at all that we haven't seen each other in weeks. He's so apathetic about it and I'm so the opposite so... not sure where to go from here.

[ButlerGirl09]

I'm very sorry to hear this and hope the best for your brother's recovery. As some say here on Dims, healing vibes going your way. *Hugs*

I'm so sorry, I know this is a very scary time for everyone. I hope your brother will do well and I will keep him and your family in my prayers.

Sending prayers for your brother, BG. Lots of (((((((hugs))))))) for you.

Thank you all so much for your outpouring of love and support!

He's stable right now, but in ICU. Things are going to get a whole lot worse before they get better. I'm glad that I'll be able to go home and visit him and my other family this weekend. I know we all would appreciate your continued thoughts and prayers.

Sad about the fiasco in Tucson. Sad if American Democracy has taken an all time low, bummed about crazy people running around with guns shooting so indiscriminately, sad and angry about the hatemongers who continually push this agenda of hate and armed rebellion.

I'm so sorry your brother and your family are going through this. I've been through some very trying times like this also. Just try to be strong and take it day by day. I wish you all the strength to get through this.


The flooding in Queensland, especially in Toowoomba at the moment. It's pretty horrific stuff. All that water is going to be heading down to Brisbane in the next day or so, too.

So sorry to hear about the flooding. Water is one of the elements that can leave you defenseless. I hope it receeds asap for all in that area.

My heart feels like it is breaking. My brother ( 3 yrs older than me) has been fighting liver cancer for a year. He went to the hospital for an appointment to be checked and they ended up admitting him because his kidneys are failing. My Sister-in-law just called to tell me she was told his bloodwork came back with very bad numbers and that he " could go at any time ". Everyone knew this was coming but noone expected it to be now. We were hoping he could be at home with hospice when this day came, he hates the hospital and is always so unhappy there.
As much as we fought as kids we have always been very close and he has always been my big brother who was there for me and vice a versa. I don't know what I will do without him. I am very worried for my parents too as I know how hard this will be on them and on my sister-in-law. I'm a mess.:(

No matter how much you think you are ready for things like this, you just aren't. I speak from experience. My husband passed away at the age of 39 from stomach Cancer that also spread to his brain. He left behind 2 little girls and no matter how well you think you've prepared for all the possibilities, things can change so quickly. I wish you and your family the strength and the courage to face these most difficult times. (((Hugs)))

Don't be hard on yourself because you didn't see this coming; your faith in the other person (the reason you trusted them enough to be truthful) is the reason you inadvertently hurt them, and it's an admirable quality.:)

Sorry for your loss. Sometimes it's a difficult choice, between the truth and saying something that's less upsetting to the other person.

((HUG)) That's for both you and Max. We always want what's best for our kids and it's hard to think that they will have any hardships in their lives. Being a parent is the hardest job in the world. Sometimes you just have to realize that your best is good enough. :)

If you don't have kids she's probably just going to dismiss what you have to say that way. None of your group of friends has kids? Might be better if one of them were the person to talk to her.

[Bigtigmom]

Oh, how I wish I could say what I want, but I can't because that would be considered improper and disrespectful. The offender knows what they did and I hope they have a nice long meeting with Karma which will visit them one day.

I'm also sad because now I feel as though this site is tainted with negative feelings due to issue mentioned above. It used to make me happy to come read the boards but now not so much. :(

She considers me her best friend and the problem is bringing guys she's dating, or just having sexual relationships around her three year old daughter, she knows better but I'm the only one that really knows the details, it's a tough situation to be sure, but she's not a bad person, and she's very sensitive and won't be angry, she's going to be upset. :( I can handle anger better than tears.

We had a policeman who died in the line of duty here in Toronto, leaving a young son, slightly reminiscent of JFK junior (only YOUNGER). I read the following prayer (http://www.thestar.com/unassigned/article/923037--a-policeman-s-prayer) in a newspaper, and can't seem to get it out of my mind. While it's sad, I feel very fortunate for all I have and grateful for the people who protect us in the night, both at home & abroad.

hmmm I would have to say Cancer...Cancer is making me sad....If cancer had a face I would curb stomp it.

At the top of 2010 My mom's best friend lost her husband to cancer and the day of his funeral her other best friend found out she had cancer. She passed away at the end of this year. My cousin has been battling cancer since the top of 2010. It's now progressed from her colon and liver to her stomach and lungs. My step-mom just lost her twin sister on X-mas day to cancer.

My best friend of 38 years just lost her dad to cancer yesterday. He went in to fix a stomach lesion and they had to remove his entire stomach because it was filled with cancerous tumors which were also in his liver and colon. He suffered for almost a month before he succombed.

My other best friend is trying to deal with her mother's ailments diabetes, congestive hearrt failure etc. She's been struggling with trying to take care of her mother for almost 3 years now.

My cousin had kidneys stones removed recently and they nicked her kidney she walked around for a week and almost bled to death. The day she went into the hospital her son also went in to the hospital and had to have two pints of blood. He was diagnosed with Good Pastures disease. They released him yesterday and he collapsed 2 hours later. His lung hemoraged. He is now in an medical induced coma. He's only 21 years old.

My grandmother has been in and out of the ICU with multiple heart attacks.

All of this sickness and pain fills me with grief. It just seems to be coming from all sides and to everyone.

[Mishty]

Wasting my breath and time on people in general, is making me pretty damn sad.
I think a lot of my real life drama is created by me, letting people slide and get away with stupid and inconsiderate things, then when all the crap builds up into a castle of bullshit, I'm right there with a shovel and boots.

I just want to wash my hands of all of it, and all of them, but my heart is attached, and my faith in change is still alive, makes me one of the biggest fools of all.

[Lovelyone]

I removed my dating ad. The foraging through the ads to try to find someone compatible, the scammers from Nigeria and Ghana, the responses from men who live outside the country and couldn't possibly "date" me, the men who responded who were of interest to me but ended up only wanting to collect fat girl pics and cyber chat, the men who respond to an ad when they have NO intention of actually dating the person they are responding to...disgusted me to the point of taking my ad down. I seriously am going to give up and learn how to live a happy existence without a partner.
Its just too hard to try to date and my faith in the system is 100% gone..

let me break it down:
70 responses to my ad
- 30 from scammers
-----------------
40 responses left
- 30 either too young, too old, too far away, not interesting, etc.
-----------------
10 left
- 7 who only wanted cyber chat, pics, etc
-----------------
3 left
-2 who seem to have only wanted a penpal

I went out with him on Monday. Dinner--a movie--and a soak in a hot tub. I had a really nice time (other than a hard time getting out of a slippery hot tub). I liked him a lot. He treated me very well ,walked me to my door, kissed me, and left never to be heard from again. *sigh

I just found out that they guy i was madly in love with as a senior in High School died this past Tuesday. Our split was not amicable, in fact another girl broke us up ( oh the high school angst) and shortly after graduation he went into the Navy and we went our separate ways. He was a few months older than me. Sad night here .:really sad:

[Lamia]

My best friends dad's funeral was yesterday. I am so sad. He was only 60 years old. We've been friends since we were 3. He was a great dad and great guy. He had a childlike enthusiasm for every hobby he had. He was gentle and intelligent. This is going to sound bad, but I can't help but think of all the pieces of crap that are still walking around and wonder why him and why not them? It's not the kind of attitude I enjoy having and I try not to feel that way, but everytime I see news about the shooter in Arizona I keep thinking why couldn't that piece of shit have died with a belly full of tumors instead of Brad.

Missing someone special and hoping to rectify things. Still feeling very confused.

I'm sad that the boy I thought liked me doesn't actually like me that way. He wants us to be friends. He told our mutual friend that he "wouldn't say never, but his interests lie elsewhere now." He thinks I'm "a cool person" and "tight".

I really like him.

Basically...everything. I am, by nature, an optimist, but my life is in a period where literally every single aspect of my life has difficulties, none of which on their own are insurmountable, but with them all piled on top of me, most days lately it's all I can do to get out of bed. I'm exhausted - mentally, physically and spiritually, and being expected to keep others propped up too, I have very little to give anyone, including myself. I want to find my sunshine again, but it's going to take some work.

Also, more than anything else, I'm sad that the silence I've allowed to become habit while behind my walls hurt someone I care deeply about.

I'm kinda sad because my faithful companion, Rambo, a 13 year old Doberman Pincer is going to need to be put down soon. I got him as a rescue, he had been abused and neglected, I gave him love, cookies, toys, everything a boy could want, and he's been an absolute joy. He's old and rickety and falls down and whines a lot, and it's been very sad to watch his decline.

A few years ago he would steal anything that he could pick up, books, magazines, the TV remote. He's pile all his swag in a corner and growl (playfully) at you if you tried to take it back, the only way he'd let you get your stuff back is if you gave him a treat first, what a little joker.

He used to stand in the garage next to the car and bark when he wanted a ride. I'd give in take him for a spin around the block...

I'm really gonna miss this guy. :(

I'm kind of sad that my father in law is driving to our town for some bird nerd event and hasn't even scheduled a couple hours to see us. He lives 4 hours away and we don't see him often. You'd think he could spend a dinner out with us or just a few measly hours! I feel so left of so much from this family. He's taking my older boy to two events but planned nothing for the rest of us. It stings...

I'm thinking of making some of my infamous choc mint cake with cream cheese icing (depending on how hot it is today). You can come over and have cake and wine. I'll share!

Make it disappear and leave a note reading, 'I'M THE CAKE THAT ISN'T HERE'.

Srsly, what's your mom gonna do if it mysteriously runs off?

Ugh you got to hate grandparents who play favorites :(

And parents too..who play favorites towards their kids..AND their grandkids. Ah well, their loss, I say! I have made the mental agreement with myself, months ago, that I am no longer going to strive for my mother's acceptance. And I have been a lot happier since doing so. :)

My cousin just lost her battle with cancer. So this will be the second funeral for me to go to in 2 weeks. My ex-sister in law's mother died today as well. I feel so bad for the ones who are truly feeling the loss.

So sorry, Lamia.

that yet another forum seems to have bitten the dust for me

More mad than sad, but my ex is being a total douche, yet again. It's sad for my daughter, because he'll insist on using lawyers instead of manning up and talking to me directly, but won't put anywhere near that effort in actually being INVOLVED in her life.

Too many deaths in my life lately and tomorrow I am attending yet another funeral.

I'm kinda sad because my faithful companion, Rambo, a 13 year old Doberman Pincer is going to need to be put down soon. I got him as a rescue, he had been abused and neglected, I gave him love, cookies, toys, everything a boy could want, and he's been an absolute joy. He's old and rickety and falls down and whines a lot, and it's been very sad to watch his decline.

A few years ago he would steal anything that he could pick up, books, magazines, the TV remote. He's pile all his swag in a corner and growl (playfully) at you if you tried to take it back, the only way he'd let you get your stuff back is if you gave him a treat first, what a little joker.

He used to stand in the garage next to the car and bark when he wanted a ride. I'd give in take him for a spin around the block...

I'm really gonna miss this guy. :(

I'm so sorry. :( I know exactly what you're going through and/or about to go through. I had to put my dog down and it was very hard to watch. As hard as it is to watch you have to be strong and comfort them as they pass on. It is the very last and often the best gift you can give to your faithful furry companion. After all they gave you the best they had to give everyday. Being animal lovers, death is something that is inevitable and cannot be gotten used to. No matter how hard it is to deal with the loss of a pet, we choose to share our lives with animals because there is simply nothing that compares to the benefits. A furry face that doesn't judge you and is always happy to see you no matter what state of mind you are in, LOL. I have had to put many of our pets to sleep mostly because of old age and failure to thrive. Just know that there are people here who can relate and we also grieve with you. I wish you the strength to get through this very sad time.

I just bought a chocolate cake the other day, if you were closer I would totally share with you and even give you extra icing. ;)

Ad hominem attacks on the character of a person. I wish that even though you may not agree with a person, at least respect their dignity, and not lampoon nor denigrate them. All people deserve the dignity given to them by God. Just my thoughts....
