feeds@yuku.com (Marc) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 23:55:56 GMT

My new website (took a long time) www.vintagesoundof78s.com I am working with a great professional website designer-who has (with me) been a tremendous help with finally being able to launch this. My next step is to apply for a grant from an arts council in Toronto/or Canada. Amazingly,my mother still has very good cognitive ability,and her personality remains as loving and...

Just wanted to say hi!

feeds@yuku.com (thisbites) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 13:16:48 GMT

Hi all! I haven't posted for a while but I occasionally stop in to read what is happening with people. I hate to say it, but it feels good not to be spending so much time on here. I have been dating someone for almost six months - not rushing into anything at all!!! I went to my xdbf's nephew birthday party in Aug.and he was there and it was so weird because after knowing and loving him for 30some yrs I felt like I really didn't know the person at the party, if that makes any...

Come ON people, what's the deal??

How come no one started the Halloween thread???? So....whatcha gonna be this year?

I have a special Fallout visitor right now, and he doesn't know it yet, but we're going to make an appearance at a neighborhood bash before we hand out candy tomorrow night. I wonder what all it's going to take for me to get him to dress up. As for me, I will probably pull out one of my old, easy...

EXDH suicidal today

feeds@yuku.com (Kimball1971) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 20:05:55 GMT

I'm a little rusty on all the sides of the monster. ExDH has been on vacation for a week and goes back to work tomorrow. I call home today to find him home with the ex psycho gf in the house. Whom he knows I don't want here. Anyway...he starts in with an anxiety attack. Which are starting to get old. He seems to get them now when I start to get angry and start to argue. It wasn't until I got home and she decided to bring him home hours later that I find he's been...

+@+#@-footing

feeds@yuku.com (MomAndMom2B) — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 19:25:09 GMT

I HATE ++%+# footing around him (my DH)... making sure the kids don't aggravate him, etc.
He is getting his migraines again too, which doesn't make life any more bearable when he locks himself away in the basement ( much like he did before meds )...
When can I relax and start to enjoy life/my kids/ my LIFE again?
I just don't want anything to set him off again. I want to make him realize how much life has to offer, but I seem to be slipping myself: every time the...

H1N1 (Swine Flu)

feeds@yuku.com (Daisy04) — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 22:10:34 GMT

Remember to wash your hands, cover your cough and sneeze with your elbow, stay clear of sick people when you can, and stay home if you are sick.

I had swine flu last week and now have a hearty case of bronchitis and a respiratory infection. 4 medicines, doctor visits, and one trip to the ER where I was gifted a nice mask to wear in the waiting room. Hopefully the steriods kick this wheezing out of me. I am tired of paying money for a virus that doesn't...

Vegetable Soup.

feeds@yuku.com (jessho) — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 09:50:14 GMT

We had our first nights when the temperature dipped into the '60's over the weekend, so I made a vegetable soup. I'm not going to brag.......yes I am. It was one of my best. Yummmmm!

DH on meds - 1 yr now = going well!

feeds@yuku.com (MomAndMom2B) — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 18:58:28 GMT

The subject line says it all.
Our baby girl turned one on Sept 15th. DH started meds (a long, uphill climb, experimenting with different 'cocktails', now on Effexor and Wellbutrin) a year ago as of the 23rd.
For the first 5-6 months it was horrible, bad side effects (with Zoloft), almost tearing our life apart. But since then he's been getting better to the point we now have our 'life' back.
He is there for me, our son, and our baby daughter.
I lost a...

Kimball's had enough

feeds@yuku.com (Kimball1971) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 22:29:08 GMT

I think I'm going to explode...and this is my safe place. So I think exploding here is ok....

First..I did take advantage of my EAP at work. Yeah that was great 2 sessions and she referred me out...2 sessions...um...what's the point of that? Really, that's my EAP at work. I can't afford co-pays....I'm lucky I can afford gas. Initally I called because after having two deaths, moving in with my mother, and now living with my exdh, I needed to talk to someone...

Need some support and advice

feeds@yuku.com (vp2) — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 22:07:52 GMT

Hi All, been a little while since I've posted here. I hope everyone is doing ok in their own situations, I wish I had something positive to tell but I'm afraid not, not yet. Still trying to get my head around everything so haven't even felt like I could make a useful contribution but I have been reading the threads and take comfort and knowledge from the postings of others on here. I've ordered Anne's book so hopefully will get it in the next few days. Going to...

It's been a while...

feeds@yuku.com (gjones) — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 16:46:16 GMT

It's been many months since I've been one here, but I wanted to update everyone on my story. If you followed it the last you heard things were far from good. I was not living at home although a lot of my things were still home. I had gotten to the point where I was so hurt by his pushing away from me and wanting to be "single" that I thought if he wants that freedom why can't I have it. I started seeing someone else and honeslty it felt good to have someone want me...

Love is the drug

Here is some interesting reading... ( sounds like its scientific... but there's not much about the credentials of the writers)

Below is a section lifted from the full article:

"You first meet him and he's passable," Witt said of the phenomena. "The second time you go out with him, he's OK. The third time you go out with him, you have sex. And from that point on...

MSOI, a friend of mine shared this with me and I can't stop laughing. This is definitely one for the books!!!

Enjoy!

I am going to keep and read this every once in a while so I don't forget how lucky I am.

My Nightmare Continues...

feeds@yuku.com (Melyenda) — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 00:48:34 GMT

The drama of these past 7 months came to a crescendo yesterday. My depressed husband has gradually been torturing my 17 year old daughter and I to the point where neither one of us could take it anymore. Our lives have been in slow motion and he has taken all the power at which events have transpired. We feel we have been in Michael Jackson's Thriller performance. All the while, through this time, we never knew what he was transforming into. But yesterday, he transformed into nothingness...

PA Budget Impasse... ick.

feeds@yuku.com (Daisy04) — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 23:10:44 GMT

So PA has no state budget yet. Legislators were supposed to pass a budget by July 1 and haven't. It's September, and many businesses are faced with closing their doors because of the impasse, including some of the organizations my program funds.

Meanwhile, legislators are being paid for not doing their job. The conference committee is basically playing the political blame game and glossing over things to the public. Contacting my legislators to tell them how their...
