  Sometimes Being Pregnant Sucks! (The looking for sympathy thread)

  i am 32 weeks pregnant and it is 3:30 in the morning and i can;t sleep because no matter what position i am in, either my back hurts or my legs go numb.

  i have heartburn raging like a wild beast with seven horns upon its head.

  my fingers look and feel like sausages, my feet are burning up and two sizes bigger than normal and i still have 8 weeks to go.

  As for the insomnia, try taking extra calcium at bedtime. Not milk.

  I did not know that Mulan. why not the milk? What is the difference? I always had warm milk when I was pregnant.

  BTW: congrats on your 10000 posts!

  I was heading home from doing my bus run. I had just dropped off 75 children at school when dispatch came on and said, "please listen to this announcement" We were listening to a live broadcast of a special news report. I pulled over and could not believe what I was hearing. After the news was done, dispatch ordered all of us to remain at home as they were not too sure what was going to happen.

  Once I got home, the school board had an emergency meeting and ordered the children to have a early dismissal. It was the first one ever but, by the time the school secretary got a hold of all parents and emergency contacts, it was almost at the same time as regular dismissal.

  I remember pacing the floor that day as my husband was heading to New York the night before (he drives truck) and it was also his birthday. I tried for hours trying to contact him, but all the call lines were jammed up. Finally, after I got home doing my afternoon bus run, I had a message on the phone that he was safe and he was tied up at the boarder for hours and was not moving. I was never so happy in my life to hear his voice.

  The fear of not knowing had to be awful for those folks that day that had loved ones in those towers, and on those planes.

  Good news for chocolate lovers

  i just read this and, being a chocolate lover myself, thought i'd share it.

  viagra works, but chocolate works better tuesday september 12, 02:18 pm.

  click to enlarge photolagos (afp) - viagra may heat up one's sex drive, but chocolate can make it sizzle.so said dr. dora akunyili, the director of nigeria's federal agency for food and medicine, in advising nigerians on monday to forego the little, libido-boosting blue pills in favor of a measured dose of cocoa.. to back up her claims -- made during a meeting with the vice-governor of one of nigeria's states -- the good doctor cited a recently published study extolling the libidinal qualities of cocoa beans.. the report, produced by nigeria's national committee for the development of cocoa, may be a bit skimpy on double-blind scientific tests, but it does refer to the marketing campaign of a british trade association making similar claims.. baptized "feeding your imagination", the campaign will soon launch a product line of six energy chocolate bars containing essential oils said to enhance one's mood, and especially one's sexual appetite.. costing about six us dollars (5 euros) per 100 grams, the bars are fetchingly named sexy, beautiful, dreamy, fantastic, sensual and lovely, according to the website foodnavigator.com.. britons already lead the european union in chocolate consumption, eating nearly 10 kilos on average per year, and britian is thus considered a promising market for sex candy.. for akunyili, chocolate is the obvious lover's choice.

  it doesn't seem two minutes since i first joined this site.

  on the other hand it feels like i've been here forever, accumulating about 15,000 posts in the process.. it was a wednesday (12 september 2001) on a small island off the west coast of scotland .

  in recent months i had experienced a spiritual awakening of such proportions that it caused me to question one after another of the beliefs that i'd been raised with as a jw.

  hey all, .

  i was raised as a jw, did what my parents who have been in it since there teens.

  got baptized at 15, pretty much my whole only child witness life was spent alone, i never had any close jw friends, because everyone in our congregation were so cliquey.anyways i stopped really attending meetings at age 19, when my best friend got df, i had already gotten privately reproved and i was upset and how they handled things with me, so i just told my mom i wasn't going to be a hyprocrit, and go to meetings and pretend to be happy, and agree with them... anyways long story short, i'm 23 now, and of course i got very depressed in 03, for about 6months, and just went through the mill, to be freaking around witnesses who i knew were fake drove me crazy, when u only ask how i am doing after not attending for months at a time, u are not my friend!.

  Sad thread. my cat is dead. looking for sympathy.

  by avengers in

  2. friends

  to all of you who know what it is to miss a loved pet.. i never knew in all my jdubb years that it can hurt so much when an animal dies.

  i never knew that a man could get attached to a cat.

  when i was a dubb i would not allow the kids to have a housepet 'cause then you couldn't spend as much time in service.

  I am so sorry for your pain. They are our family to most of us. It can be a painful journey right now but, something positive will come out of it.I cannot remember which poster mentioned getting another pet right away, but I agree with them.

  There are so many animals out there looking for a new home or needing to be adopted. You could mend two hearts at once by adopting one of those lonely cats.

  take care of yourself for now.

  yes girl, you are entiled to sympathy!!

  Have you been checked out for gestational diabetes?

  Please have this checked.

  I also had 10lb babies. my first was 10lb 12ozs and the next was an even 10lbs.Had them both O Natural, and thought I was going to die. The second time around though, I did watch what I hate and when I hate as I did end up with gestational diabetes. I know get checked regular for diabetes.

  You my dear, need some TLC. A hot bath before bed time every night, will do you some justice. Make sure after that warm tub, you keep those legs up for a while and drink some warm milk.Also, if you have a hubby willing to do it, a nice masssge will sooth alot of those aches. I opted out in the end, to fork out the cash and have it done right. It was worth every dime of it as I slept like a baby after every heaven bliss. By the end of my duration I was going about 3 times a week for a "prego massage"

  How do you let them go?

  by Sparkplug in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a parent i realize that a teen boy or girl can butt heads with one parent or the other or both.

  so when your a single parent, you may have to let the child live with the other parent for the betterment of the child.

  now i know the other parent has never been an option here, but i think i need to let my child go.

  OMG Sparkplug, do I hear ya sista!

  It is the pit of all evil when they are teens. It just seems to me as soon as they turn to the "teen age" they know it all! I call it the "I know disease" My mother and father always warned me of these days a few years back ( when I was a teen and being a heathen...lol) but, I never thought of it ever happening to me and biting me in the ass years later!

  This has to be a tough decision for you but, may I suggest, you are half way over the mountain now so, can you just hang on for a bit more?

  I have 2 teen boys myself, aged 18( going on 28) and almost 15( Going on 25). About 3 years ago, I thought I was going either going to kill myself or the boy. Yes, it was that bad. After seeking some assistance it was brought to my attention that their brains are not fully developed yet. They are fighting things such as hormones for a starter but when you throw in some peer pressure and what ever else that is running through their brains at the time, this magnifies any situation times 10. Do you have a close relationship with him? Does he talk about how he really feels?( I will assume that he does not from the troubles you are having.)

  I have to admit, that was part of my problem. I never "listened" to what he was saying or feeling. It really sucks when you?re a parent and you being told you somewhat screwed up and you have to eat crow. Not, saying this is your case, but it was mine. When I stopped all my finger pointing, and really put a extra effort into paying attention to what he really needed or felt, it was a like a 350 degree circle was made by him all by himself almost over night. He still tries to test me, but I do have a better ear on now and do pay attention even if it is about the goal he did not make and how he could have changed the left foot for the right foot to make the goal. Or about the latest hard core band that is out right now on the charts and what the words are to their top song right now. Really, just simple stuff that I found very boring but, were important to him.

  I will not go on and on about what worked for me, but, before you feel you need to send him some where else, please try and cover all your bases. Go to his high school and request a guidance councillor and explain the situation. The school is where I got my first direction about getting the help that we needed.. I went to teen direction and yes, there was a lot of work but, in the long run, it was so worth it. I was at my last rope with my son, and was getting to the point of shipping him off or mama was moving out.

  Had I known that just simple "listening" would have made him clean his room, do his homework, and do his chores, I would have invested into some new ears years ago!! After going through this now with my oldest, I have all the tools( most of them, but I am sure I will need a different set for this one...lol) I need for the second one. Bought myself a brand new pair of ears for him, and I am on the up and up with all the music as well...also, I have learned to trust them more. More so, with the girl thing. I always gave him a hard time when it came to dating and having a big list of no-no?s. Even though, he never screwed up the list, I would go, on and on about it. Bottom line, I would basically give him shit for nothing he had done yet.

  "Why go to court when, you don?t have a charge?" was the best way he explained it to me.

  So, there ya go, that is my free advice for the day..I really hope it works out for you and I know your heart will have the right answer for you. Sometimes, just time makes a world of difference as well. Good luck my friend!

  LOve Morty
