Shout out to DD!!!!

If I come out there between 10/28 - 11/16/08, will you go to see DROWSY with me?

So, here I was posting away without distraction, and then the TinMan emerges from the master suite complaining of leg cramps - and whining about it.

So, I spend time massaging the knot out with Icy-Hot, and get him the arthritis strength Tylenol that will loosen his muscles up - along with the chilled water to take it with. Now he's back down to sleep.

Define love? I don't have to - I live it.

Aw, DG, that made me smile, and feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

[D2]

Posted: 7/13/08 at 3:39am

Living it is the definition of love, DG. It's all the little things that make up a life together, the good, the bad, the ugly, the little nuisances, the big laughs, all of it.

What the hell, People!

A new thread and 10 pages on a weekend!?!

And Shira went from being the girl who said "yuck" to beer to drinking Guiness???

Was this thread started in the Twilight Zone?


Mornin!

Shamey - that's how I felt the other day! I came back, and the old thread had had about six pages done to finish out, and this new one was already a few pages in.

We're all just a bunch of blabber-mouths

Morning dears. It's been an interesting weekend so far...so I think I am going to vegetate alone with no interactions lol. Seems the only safe choice right now.

[DG]

Posted: 7/13/08 at 10:44am

Hmmm ... care to elaborate, Tink? Sounds intriguing.

nothing of too much interest. But, have you ever felt you just don't belong anymore? I know I have changed a lot in the last year or so, but it just doesn't seem like I can relate to my close "real life" friends & acquaintances anymore. I really try but it most likely always results in me or them being annoyed. I've bee trying to just tread lightly lately in efforts to make peace but it still doesn't work. I just keep getting told how I "should" be or "should" feel about things based on my past wants and goals. When I express that that is not how I feel anymore or my eyes have been opened to other things, it gets ignored and back to the "this is how you were and how you lived and that is how we like it" mode.

I could clearly be making so much more of it then there is but I dunno.

That's the problem with personal growth, Tink - you change while others around you don't, and they generally don't like it because it makes them uncomfortable. But if you want to keep moving forward with your life, you can't let them stop you.

I've gone through it, and I'm pretty sure most everyone here has as well.

Tink, I've gone through that myself. Some people do seem to never 'evolve' and just keep plodding along the way they always have, never opening themselves up to other thoughts, ways, etc. They're happy with the status quo, and probably figure everyone around them should be feel the same. Unfortunately, some friendships have gone by the wayside for me, because of this.

*Hugs Tink*

Oh honey, most of us have gone through that.

Self-awareness can be a difficult, but it also wonderful. I have lost friends along the way, but in the end, gained others who vastly added to my life and experiences.

Ditto to what Girly and D2 said.

I've gone through this a few times in my life. It's sad and unfortunate, but I've found that the people who truly mattered most to me tend to be there through the process.

It's a tough road to say that I can't give you that person that you remember 10 years ago. I can only give you the person that I am now - but you'll be better off for it.

Anyone who tells you how you should feel or how you should be doesn't care about YOU. They're really only thinking of themselves.

Who is Deborah?

Depends...

Tink, as everyone else has already written, far more eloquently than I could, your TRUE friends want what's best for you. Life is a journey, and personal growth is to be treasured. Some of the lessons are easier than others, but the journey is a gift. The true friend(s) who join you on that journey are to be treasured.

That is me DGG!

Deb, aka YWIW.

[MotorTink]

Posted: 7/13/08 at 4:46pm

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I always have this odd optimistic dream that all can just evolve unchanged. Yes, I know it is shocking, Tink actually optimistic, lol. I just have to really figure out where is the line of when I just need to stay true to myself and when I need to be more patient in letting people adjust.

I hate it when I have to face the fact that I am still so freakin young in life. I don't deal with those things well lol.

Posted: 7/13/08 at 5:11pm

I thought so, but I had to make sure! Auntie YWIW!



Back from my date. Boy has informed me that he's leaving for vacation on Tuesday and won't be back until Saturday. I called up my friend Erin and told her and she goes "I know you're sad, but that means presents!"

I died.

[YouWantitWhen????]

Well, the best thing about him leaving for a few days is the excitement when he returns.

Four days will fly by (or at least I hope).
