Starting this thread with Myself's last post...

Hope you all are having a good day!!!



oops---Missed that question earlier, F27. The same prompt and the same material for each. It's timed writing. I will say that when you read an interesting response, it really stands out.

I understand the euphoria UA. Did it three years ago,and really am not sorry. Yes, I miss the money and the kids,and feeling good at something,but not that environment

Hello all!

Pitmom, yes I am from Jersey.

Although I am not the sterotype. I am a gentle soul, takes a lot to get me riled. I did love the beach, wildwood. I like space. Now I like mexico and the caribeaeen ]sp]

We are on our second rescued pittie, she is a mix with english bull dog. A sweet heart to everyone! White with tan and black spots. Our other 2 are rescued litter mates, brothers found on the streets. All are in love with each other. I love my dogs.

I like Bruce Springstein too, although he is not my favorite, never was. Never even went to a concert.

No, I don't live off an exit of the parkway. LOL I live 20 min over the bridge from Philly.

cloudy and rainy here today. Will paint, dust and practice piano. Maybe some free writing while pain dries to continue on.

Peace
Trina

Oh, I would like to add, just out HT's WORTH A MENTION thread. I added two links for celabrative dancing. Too funny.

They will lift your spirits, I have know doubts. The first one, goes way back to my 401k administration days in Ohio.

Peace again

Karen, no don't another job lined up.
Myself, I've been seriously thinking about it. I'll just have to sell my car or something.
It sucks being in the middle of the director and the GM.
I think luck were on their side this morning and I couldn't print the letter.

Have fun painting and playing the piano Trina.

Hope you all have a good day today. Looks foggy out from what I can see. Still kind of dark.

Hang in there UA. I hope that things get better.

Trina, Myself, Jamie, Pitmom, F27, I hope you are all feeling well.

Take care all!!!


Hugs, Karen...

Trina, Exit 105 Garden State Parkway here! ha ha

Brother and sister pit bull mix doggies serve as our emotional support animals. Daughter and I also have 8 cats between us.

Weather has been raw, chilly, rainy. After one day in bed, I forced myself to get dressed and take a slow walk yesterday. Not sure what I will be doing today, yet. Feel as though I'm standing on the edge of the rabbit hole again...feeling insignificant and worthless. Feelings are NOT fact. I KNOW this. Hoping to nip this in the bud.

Scheduled for epidural injections in the lumbar spine May 6th. Lessening the pain should help lessen the depression. What to do between now and then...that's the question.

On the 'bright side', doggie is 'testing' the leg...putting a bit of weight on it now and then. Vet said 3 weeks of 'bed rest' for her...it's not going to be easy. She wants to play!

Hope everyone else is doing well.

Good Morning Everyone,

Got exams in approximately 3 hours. Trying to cram but stuff work in on my work.

Glad you hear your dog is okay pitmom.

Wishing everyone a good day!

I hope you feel better Pitmom. You are NOT insignificant or worthless. Ask anybody here, they will tell you the same thing. One day at a time...

Hugs, Karen...

Hi Karen, feeling pretty durn wonderful today, thanks for asking. Lots of traveling yesterday so I'm kinda pooped, but that's nothing that coffee can't fix.

Said goodbye to an Uncle yesterday, and hello to a brand new nephew. 4 days old and 9+ pounds. My SIL was still having problems sitting.

Have fun today, everyone. All your current problems can now officially be Monday's; the weekend is when depression should take two days off.

M09 - if you read them backwards, do they get any more interesting? Might be a good way to vet the satanic. ;-) Sorry 'bout the fog. I often wonder if my brain would clear if I spent 3 months at a monastery purging all the psychoactive crap from my body.

Morning/Afternoon all!

Pink sky could go either way--hope yours is the good one!

No grading today--the exams have a wee break. I am poking through other jobs to apply for--and trying to pick some subbing gigs to even out the time until there are regular grading gigs again. I *think* I might have a full-time lined up in June... but it could fall through so am not convinced.

Put on my rain boots and went to the garden. Totally cold and mucky here too, Pitmom Erected a gate for my fence--laid some burlap for walkways, and hung some homemade bird repellers. This weekend, I will plant some seedlings. Zucchini and chard are ready to go in.

Good luck on the exams UA. Tis the season!

Pitmom,let the doggies love you... that always gives me a feeling of worth. I have been lurking on a few Corgi facebook groups in recent months. They never fail to cheer me up. The adventures of Jimmy Don't and Naughty Corgi Confessions make me howl.

The pool and gym later.

TGIF-F27. Family and travel can be tiring. But congrats on big nephew. Have a low-impact Friday.

In reality, the responses make me quite sad. The state of education in America is dismal. Seriously. Some of these supposedly college-bound kids write on the level of elementary school.

Hi Myself, Pitmom, F27.

Myself, I hope you get the full-time job in June. That would be awesome. You deserve it.

F27, Congrats on the new nephew. 9 pounds, wow!!!

Pitmom, enjoy the flowers. I hope that your day gets better.

We have partly sunny skies. The pink sky looked pretty cool. Just heard about the red sky in the morning thing...

I hope you all have a good day. Jamie, I hope you are getting sleep. Trina, UA, I Hope you are both having a good day!!!

SF Gamerbabe, where are you?

Hugs, Karen...

Posted 5/1/2016 9:10 AM (GMT 0)
it's been going off, like a frog in a sock with mum and other bro. sis and I had to intervene and bring mum home. actions are in play. I can't work on me till mum and this boy is sorted. other bro whilst moderately sedated is doing ok, the other...........different kettle of fish. we have doc and welfare happening. mum is just ok, I mean her sis is in nz on her last legs, and she goes in 2 weeks to say her goodbyes. not so sure. sis taking her to doc tomorrow and will talk with her counsellor.
Posted 5/1/2016 10:29 AM (GMT 0)
Wow Jamie, You sure have a lot going on. I hope it all gets sorted out.

One day at a time mate. Hang in there, we are all here for you.

Hugs, Karen...

Hi UA, Hi all...

Couldn't get on the forum this morning. But here now. Sunny today. Going for a walk.

Hugs, Karen...

Posted 5/3/2016 12:19 PM (GMT 0)
Hope your mum is okay Jamie.

Good morning to all. Beautiful sunny day it looks like.

Got therapy.

The sky cleared long enough for one cushion to dry on an Adirondack chair! It was only a little bit damp, so I took my coffee out there last evening and enjoyed the scents of freesia and lily of the valley. Had a wonderful surprise! A hummingbird came to visit the lilac bush!

I've bought a few more plants, mostly annuals as the perennial beds are nearly full already! I did indulge in a burgundy bearded iris though. The plan is to put it in one of the beds in the 'backyard' where the dogs have destroyed the turf. At least the borders are still intact but need to be replenished. There is already a purple flower pot loaded with burgundy orienpet lilies and a huge hardy hibiscus with burgundy blooms. There are also several mauve columbine and autumn joy sedums which start out peach and age to burgundy/rust. I think monochromatic is the way to go back there. Besides, if I don't like it, I can always move things around!

I've not started any veggies besides the sugar snap peas. Dampening off is sure to be a problem with this cool, damp weather. Waiting is hard!

Hope everyone is doing well today.

Lovely Pitmom.

I have delphiniums popping up, my herbs, irises, daffodils and hyacinths. Grape ones, they are small. But fragrant...

My lavender came back this year and I was so happy about that. My sage didn't yet. I have Greek Oregano from last year and the year before. Thyme... It is all wonderful...

We are waiting on planting stuff too. But because it is still cold here. We got part of the garden tilled up though.

I have a spot with grape vines. There is phlox growing in there. I am surprised it gets enough air flow but it does. My girlfriend's mildews and mine does not. (yet)...

I have Veronica growing there too and some crocus. Also a flower that I cant' remember what it is.

I love plants. I got an ivy geranium yesterday with dark red blooms. It was only 10.00. I was happy for that. I am not going to put it out though until it is a little warmer. For now I will enjoy it inside with my other few house plants.

I hope you have a good day Pitmom.

I hope everybody does. Got therapy this afternoon so I will see you all later.

Hugs, Karen...

I finally found someone to remove six really tall columnar trees from the side of our yard; I'm looking forward to reclaiming that space. The trees are about 40 feet tall, so they're expensive to remove, but I'll be glad when it's done.

The northern part of our province is on fire. The city of Fort McMurray has been completely evacuated. People are opening their homes and properties to help rehome the thousands of people and animals that have been displaced. Local industry is chartering planes to move employees to Edmonton or Calgary, where people are taking in strangers to help ease the strain.

I'm so proud of Albertans!
Posted 5/4/2016 4:05 PM (GMT 0)
That is such a terrible thing to have going on. People lose their homes. I am glad that the Albertans are helping. That is so sweet and kind.

I hope that they get the fires out soon.

Raining here today. Maybe it will rain there too.

Wishing the best.

Hugs, Karen...

My grand daughter was born last night. That's the good news.

No one called me to tell me. I got the details from Facebook. That's the bad news.

Quite a roller coaster of emotions.

Can a person explode from not using expletives?
