normally, i don't mind where i'm at in my life.
i'm forty, no kids, low-paying job, live in a trailer court, etc (and trust me there's more to the etc, then i've already mentioned), but today i had a hard time.. one of my best friends from high school was a big dope head (no offense to the dope heads out there).
he showed up nearly every day to our first period art class smelling of weed and was generally so whacked out of his mind that he got horrible grades.. he finally graduated - barely - and made it to college.
Sorry to hear about your day Abandoned. I know it's tough to see people from the past. Do you still want to go to college? You'll probably appreciate the classes more now that you have life experience.
Keep your chin up...you are a great guy!

i had the baby on 11/21/06.
we named him dylan rhys.
he's a cute little thing and such a good baby.
Congrats!!
this is the guy that sat on my razor blades the one time i was thinking of cutting myself... this is the guy that everytime my dad beat me, would come to my room and lay with me... this is the guy that one time jumped into the bathtub with me while i was crying after a brutal beating, the cat hated water... this is a cat that was more family to me than my own father and mother combined... this was my best friend... .
today i had to do the hardest thing i ever did, i had to choose to have him put down... and as he fought the vet, and tried to bite her, i put my hand on his head, and he stopped struggling... and as they put the last needle into his leg, he purred until he died... the vet says she has never seen that before... this was my best friend and i had to kill him... fuck, im a baby, but i miss him soooo much.
the infamous one.

I'm sooo sorry you had to make this decision today. I have that same bond with my orange kid. I can't imagine how bad you feel right now. Pets provide a type of unconditional love that we need. I'll keep you in my thoughts tonight.

lets say there is chance you have an illness and you can take a few blood tests that will tell you if you do in fact have this illness, would you want to know ?
keep in mind that there is no treatment and nothing you can do to "make it better", what would you do?
would you like to know or would you rather not find out ?.
I haven't had to face a situation like that before, and one never knows what they may do when in those shoes. That being said, I feel knowledge is power in all things. I would want to know and give myself the power to plan accordingly. Take care.

i used to be here a real lot.
now i make about 15 posts , if that,.
per day and read a few other threads that interest me.
Well, I have newbieitis right now and am here all the time. The day after I found the board, I called in sick so I could sit here and read everyone's experiences. (ssshhhh don't tell the boss) It has been very healing to find others that share my background and hardships. Thank you everyone for sharing and your support.
Happy to be a...FreeChick
i was feeling a bit guilty about celebrating as this is my 1st year out and i know the history of all the holidays and birthdays are pagan or bloody or idolatrous.. .
but i was thinking that it's not what someone made them in the past but what they are right now.. to us, at this moment.
am i going to sit down on thanksgiving.. and say, "i hate those indians, think i'll go kill some"..????
No, not one bit guilty. I enjoy getting up early and having friends over. We eat, drink, nap and play card games all day.

Gordy said, "And a chick from CA offers you a bubble bath... "

can't believe what's going on over at the hospital where he and his family are.
his mother was acting out of her head and they found out she had pneumonia at the hospital yesterday and today my son, her husband was taken to the intensive care because of not breathing.
they both were there to be with their son who had his biopsy.
((Ken)) so sorry to hear that you are having to deal with all this at once. Warm wishes to you and your family during this time. Take care...
