It may not be good advice, but I see where he's coming from..
holls, et al: Also all this seems to lead to me being every girls big mistake, and then they find the person that actually makes them happy. I'm pretty sure at this point - it's not going to get any better. I have to change what I want in my life somehow.
Few weeks ago I gave a friend who was feeling hopeless in the love department a pep talk. It basically consisted of good things happen to good people and happen when it's supposed to happen, it's better to not dwell and not force things that could be bad in the long run. He then asked how I was, what did I do with his friend and finally when I became so optimistic. It got me thinking and I specifically pinpointed it to when I became a regular here. Let the good vibes roll and things will work out!
As both a mom and someone who has a PhD from the school of hard knocks, let me offer this:
we can't find happiness with someone else until we find it with ourselves. We have to be comfortable in our own skin and love life on our own terms. We can't depend on someone else to meet some unmet need in us or to make up for someone else that did not display "the right kind of" love in the past - that's a certain recipe for eventual unhappiness.
I won't bore everyone with particulars of my situation, but as part of my "recovery", so to speak, I'm keeping a journal. Of course, I love to write, so that may not be for everyone. Sometimes the written word is more powerful for me than the spoken word in terms of focusing feelings. My point being...find your creative outlet, whatever that may be, and pour your angst into it. And continue to rely on us and know that you are, and will continue to be, getting stronger.
Bandeto and Jimmyroo...you guys are amazing young men from what I know of you. You are both talented and intelligent. I have full faith in the both of you.
My car loan is $405 a month. I paid $205 in late September, and was going to put another $200 in after my last paycheck (Friday the 5th) to cover the month's balance. The account is automatically charged on the 7th of the month.
It took out the full $405 payment, and not the $200 + interest. My bank account didn't have enough to cover the 405, so I got slapped with a $25 fee on top.
I'm broke. This sucks. I'm probably gonna have to sell tickets to shows, CDs, DVDs, things I can make expendable. This car is killing me, I might not be able to go to Roo ... or any festival before Moog 2013. Between the loan payment, insurance, taxes, and gas - it's eating on average 35-40% of my take home pay. Going to all these shows and fests the last two years certainly didn't help my case either.
If you want to see Ben Sollee or the Gaslight Anthem in Boston, STS9 in New York ... come PM me.
GRRRR... my grandmother is in the hospital AGAIN. This is the third time in 6 weeks. Last stay, she had a pacemaker put in. She's only been out of the hospital for 14 days, and tonight we took her back because a wire came loose in the pacemaker. The doctor said the wire may have pierced her heart
My family is worried and anxious which isn't making the situation better. I'd appreciate any good vibes you guys wanted to send our way.
Holy sh!t, I just got off the phone with one of my best friends since we were 12. Her sister, who is 28 and just had her second kid 5 months ago, has effing breast cancer.
Picked up my 5th prescription medicine earlier this evening for my back. I love hearing a doctor say they don't know what's going on & just prescribe, prescribe, prescribe. ??? And damn insurance companies too. GRRRR
Thanks everyone. I feel completely helpless in both of these situations. My grandmother was supposed to get better once she had the pacemaker but she has actually gotten worse.
As for my friend's sister, I've known this friend for 18 years, since her sister was 10. I've watched this girl grow up, I went to her wedding and to her baby showers. I am heartbroken. She's going to have to have a double mastectomy and chemo treatment. while managing to raise a 3 year old boy and a 5 month old baby girl.

When she or you are ready PM me and we'll get some resources headed her way. Her situation is a lot like mine was my kids were just a little older (5 and 17 mos). There are some groups that are dedicated to working with younger women so let me know how I can help.
Inforoo is the only thing that has gotten me through more than a couple rough patches in my life. ((Hugs)) and positive thoughts for those who need them.

Dang JHo. That's 2 whammies in a day. Im so sorry your grandmother and your friend are dealing with these things. You be a light for them though, and I'll keep sending the good vibes your way for you to pass on to them. My mom had cancer and it was rough during that chemo time - your friend will need all the friends and family help she can get! So I pray you have strength and encouragement for her. <3333333333333

Not that this will make you feel any better, but I've had two aunts both get breast cancer while they had small kids and both were able to beat it. Anything you or her sister can do to take responsibility off her shoulders will help a lot. If she's anything like my aunts, she won't let people know she's hurting unless she truly has no control over how she reacts to the pain (which happens), and she'll be too proud to flat-out ask for help initially. Just offer it, and if she refuses just help her out anyway. Any support you lend her will go towards speeding her recovery. I'm a big believer that stresses from outside sources can hinder recovery from illnesses like cancer, so anything that can be done to relieve those outside stresses will help her concentrate on getting better and back to her kids full-time.
Anyway, I'm sorry to hear about this and hope to hear in a few weeks she's well on her way to getting healthy.

My neighbor has come down, as she does everytime we are out in the yard, to talk about everything wrong in her life. She goes on and on about how she has all these lawyers and all these meds her kids are on. Ugh, anyway, my Mom was visiting and we were outside talking about M's B-day party when the neighbor comes over and takes over the convo. I get sick of it in 10 minutes and say I have things to do, and walk in the house. My poor Mom has been out there for 30 minutes now.
Also, we have been paying insurance on a car that hasn't been working for a year, I just figured it out today. They refuse to reimburse us for any of the time they have been insuring a car that doesn't work. Oh well, my bad but could have used the money.

Haha I know, 30 minutes isn't that long. She ended up being there 2 hours, learning about my neighbor's teenage son's masturbating habits, the potty problems of her 5 and 8 year old, recipes for salsa, and how she hasn't had sex in 3 years. I'm selfish with my Mom's time. Dave pulled up giving my Mom an excuse to leave and Dave didn't say anything at all but gave me raised eyebrows and pretty much ran right into the house.

I did not. I stood there for a minute and then asked if the boys were in the house by themselves, and if so, i should probably go check on them. I gave you an excuse to get away. You should be grateful, woman.

Serious GRRRRR has been going on for quite some time in my life: health insurance company has been denying my husband's claim for a hernia surgery he had done in early September. Of all things! A friggin hernia surgery- routine, simple hernia surgery and from the very beginning of all this, Highmark has been nothing but jerks- excuse after excuse on why the claim won't be accepted. BUT back in August, of course they said, "Yes, under the terms, conditions of your plan, of course your hernia surgery will be covered." The surgeon told us, "Oh, don't worry, the insurance company will definitely cover this. It's a routine thing. It wasn't diagnosed before you took out the policy with Highmark, so not a problem."
And, here we are, a statistic, a soundbite on a political platform, another American family being jacked over by their health insurance company, denied. Feeling powerless. But only over a hernia surgery? I mean, its going to cost us thousands, don't get me wrong, but denied claims have bankrupted some folks.
The reason has changed 3 or 4 times now with Highmark on why we're being denied- but essentially the wrong code was processed in the beginning (provider plugged in the wrong code) so we all got that straightened away, had to determine what the right code was, get it processed. But then Highmark still didn't approve the claim- why we ask them?- "oh, there is another code processing. we aren't sure what it could be?" they tell us. Hmmm, ok, and finally, yesterday, they tell us the code was for tobacco use (yes, he does smoke, and Highmark knows that and we pay a premium for that) so now, insurance company is saying that he is denied based upon tobacco use!!!! If you all didn't know this, apparently smoking causes hernias! That's what I gather from all this: smoking causes hernias, look out guys.
They won't tell us who submitted this code- the doctor's office certainly didn't- and from all the forms we've received in the mail, neither did the hospital or the anesthesiologist. And what in the world does smoking have anything to do with a hernia??? I feel like I am losing my mind. I have a horrible temper and it's about to show.
I needed to vent! Sorry so long. We'll do battle with the insurance company. I just wanted to say that our health care system is completely quacked. What is the point of even buying insurance in this country?
