Where I'm at now...something positive

[Karen]

With the Holidays rapidly approaching, and me not wanting to celebrate nor have them pass as any ordinary day. I am going to volunteer to feed the needy somewhere. At the very least, I can be helpful to someone.

Rose, I have a suggestion for you about the holidays. Many of the people in nursing homes these days are "orphans" - folks with no family or friends to visit them. In many cases, they have outlived family members and friends, and no one ever visits them. So that might be a good, productive thing to to - spend some time visiting with some old folks on the holidays. I bet the front desk, or the social workers at any hospital can tell you who is loneliest, and might want a visit.

One very beloved person I knew said once, when I visited her, "maybe I never should have had a family, so I wouldn't feel so awful when they don't visit." Her two grown kids had relocated to the West Coast, but that didn't ease her loneliness, especially at the holidays.

Wow, Karen.

I am thinking that is going to be me someday too.
I have no children.

I will try to work that in. I already know of a place.

Thanks,

Rose

They are paying attention, dear lady. They have opened your eyes and your heart to your predicament. They have brought you back to life. And sometimes life hurts very, very much. But then you heal and you are stronger, wiser and even more beautiful than ever before.

Rose and Gayle - BINGO!! So well said!!

Rose, I am so sorry that you feel discarded. Remember, it is his loss. A woman like that will never remain with him for long and then he will be the lost and lonely party. By then you will have moved on and made a brand new life for yourself. You are strong, you just need to put your mind to it and you can do anything. I think visiting the elderly is an awesome idea for your Thanksgiving holiday. You're welcome to come visit me if you need to get away completely. No snow here yet. I too worry about being alone as I age. But then I look at the teenagers out there these days and figure I'm better off without one of those. They just don't have the same sense of responsibility we have so likely would just stick me in a home and forget about me. Worst case you and I can figure a way to take care of each other as we get old. But sorry, I'm not changing your diaper!!!! Hope that gave you a giggle.

Okay, I have to give you both a Mikey fix. He has something to say


K, so i gotsa bone to pick with these two guys who have been "buggin" you girls. you ladies don't deserves the treatment they gave you and i for one will do everything in my power to make you feel better I gots that ability wit the ladies.

Love the Mikey pictures and thank you for the story. The last picture with the tongue is just too funny. Thank you both.

[Daisy and Delilah]

Rose, just remember, what goes around comes around. One day, that @%$*&#$ will get his and he'll get it good. One day, he's going to wake up and realize what he's done and wish he hadn't. Believe me. Rose, your day is coming!! Chin up!! You are a great lady and you can get through this!!!

Having a really bad afternoon/evening. Doing alot of crying. Stopped by for a look at the Mikey pics for a bit of a pick me up. Wondering also how you are doing Rose.

[Karen]

Awww, sending you a big virtual hug. Have a good cup of something strong and warm, and let it warm you heart as well as your hands, and know you are loved.

[Queen of Poop]

Thank you Karen. Yesterday was a very bad day for me. Today is a bit better but I'm so very nervous and stressed. I see MY divorce lawyer in and hour and a half. My stomach is in knots. My IBS is acting up. I shouldn't be this stressed seeing MY lawyer. I'm taking her all the info I could gather that is required plus alot that is for her info on the history of this awful relationship. Hopefully this goes well and we can all be grown ups and reach a settlement sooner rather than later. I really want my Christmas decorations, the rest of my clothes, a bed, etc.

[RICHARD]

This part is for you Richard-
A positive step. Trying to get tough....

I was hoping you were going to start training to become a cage fighter?

Good on you!

QoP and Rose,

Remember as you go along and get the HARD things out of your way?

The rest are smaller, easier and you'll both, at some point, look back and laugh at the hardship you are going thru.

Remember,

Time wounds all heels.


Or something like that!

[Alysser]

You just gots to keep smilin' - I'm tellin' you it's infectious

[Catty1]

Gayle, how did things go with the lawyer? I hope getting the first visit done took a load off!

Rose, I hope you are doing well...if I recall right, the legal thing has been drawn out and awful for you. Prayers that it gets resolved SOON.

{{{hugs}}} to both of you.

[Queen of Poop]

My lawyer is good and she's really funny. Clearly she does this alot and deals with crappy husbands alot. We're going to scare the pants off of him. Whereas he wanted it all, it totally doesn't work that way. I'd better not say what the plan is here, just incase he snoops, but I wish I could see his mouth drop! Feeling pretty good right now.

Thanks for the Mikey fix. I really love that dog!!!!

[Alysser]

Woo! This IS the news you've (AND WE!) have been waiting for! I cannot wait to hear about all the jaw dropping appearance. I really am glad my handsome man is helping you out, even just a little. He really does have that effect.
