Wow, Was This Really 28 Years Ago?
by Englishman inthis friday, december 7th., is our 28th wedding anniversary.
her ladyship and i intend to visit our favourite restaurant, dimitri's, for a slap-up greek meal plus a considerable quantity of excellent wine.. its a time when we like to reflect on our life together, the lows as well as the highs that we have experienced over the years.
mainly, our life has been one of laughter and fun.

Caole,
I know, we thought Prissy was eighteen, I thought I acquired her in 1984. But I found a picture of her when she was a baby the other day with a date. 1986, seven weeks old. I assume I wrote the right date. Somehow the numbers don't match with my memory. But I guess it could be right either way she is an elderly person.
Waiting, your ball comment reminds me of one of my fave field service stories. I had a return visit in WV. A very rural area. This lady had Christmas balls hung from the ceiling of her trailer. When I went to put my coat on the sleeve flew up and hit one of the balls. I said "Oh my goodness I almost knocked your balls off." I thought the "sister" that was with me was going to drop dead right then and there. When I realized what I said I couldn't stop laughing uncontrollably. It was hilarious.

Seven,
We were going to have our first Christmas tree this year! A new kitty named Joey who is the terror of the house, is why we won't.
Caole,
The cat in the shower looks just like our fifteen year old cat, Prissy. A friend from here already forwarded that pic to us. She didn't even know what Prissy looked like. Maybe she sensed it because Prissy is Prisca's namesake!! LOL

WW,
That is one of the biggest things I learned through therapy. If you can't take care of yourself then you have nothing to offer to anyone else.
Sounds like you are well on the road to moving on!! Hugs and a toast to you!!

Ritchie and Makena,
Just wanted to say, felt the same way the entire 38 years I was a witness.
Just felt like I could never be who I really was and be accepted. Made me very unhappy.
WW,
I realized you were talking about your Mom from another thread. I am sorry you have to experience this very difficult situation.

WW,
I am trying to get the sense of your analogy. Toughy. I know for the last couple of years I have been going through a feeling that if my relationships aren't giving ANYTHING back to me, I don't feel like maintaining it.
You probably know the type. Friends and family who always expect you to call them. Pop unto your messenger and say "Hey where have you been I miss you! Call me" When you know perfectly well they have your telephone number. Why don't they call you.
I have gone through this with my parents since I da'ed myself in June of 2000 as well. Actually even before that. It seemed like most of the time I was the one calling them. Of course, my mother in particular denied that, but I had the phone bills to prove it. Plus it seemed like my parents could only get away one time a year to visit me (I live in a different state) and yet they make special arrangements to visit my brother and sister-in-law who are at the Farm in Wallkill regularly. Not to mention that brother comes home to visit all the time, because he and Dad own the building Dad and Mom live in together. In addition, they see my other brother and sister-in-law a couple of times a month, who also live in a different state. I guess the excuse with that is the grandchildren.
In July of 2001, my mother said some extremely hurtful things to me i.e. basically I don't care about your life. I didn't call them from then until earlier this week. Because it just hurt me so much. When I finally did call, it was business. They seemed extremely happy to hear from me. I have recieved one three line email since then. Oh well, one continues to hope.
But I think maybe this is what you might be talking about? If so, I don't know any advice to give you. Wish I did.

April,
And to all whom this touched. I am almost speechless! But not quite. The human spirit is such an amazing thing. Whenever I hear something like this, I realize that.
April, I would have never guessed that your life was such hell. You are such a bubbly, happy, free spirited person in your posts. I salute a toast to your bravery. But especially to your bouyancy of spirit.
I too was in an abusive relationship for almost seventeen years. Nothing so horrible as what was described. Emotional abuse to the umph degree. I too experienced the degradation of the elders not helping me and taking his side. It almost destroyed me! But I decided I could either become a bitter old woman or move on. I moved on. Thankfully, I must have paid my Karmic debt.
Your son is a product of you!!!!! You obviously gave him the gift of a good human spirit!!
My thoughts and compassion go out to you both. May you both continue to move on. And may you have everything you wish for!!!!
Hugs and kisses,

The BESTEST present ever! (NOT)
by LDH inafter reading a few threads regarding the upcoming christmas season, i thought i'd post a funny story, and ask you to add to it.. if you've ever received a wacky present, or one you had to pretend that you liked, please post it.. about 5 years ago, when i first started celebrating christmas with hubby, i got a real shocker of a present.
a deep fryer.. now, hubby was *very* proud of himself.
you see, about three months prior to christmas we were going through costco (warehouse type store) when i noticed they had a nice little deep fryer.
