What is on your mind

Why people clog up facebook with sharing pictures from external websites.

Overwhelmed!

Was just sitting here thinking about how my Halloween decorations scared the crap out of the neighborhood kids.

...and smiling!

When we (and I mean we as both individuals and/or part of a community) seek and expect acceptance from others we need to be mindful of the fact that not everyone thinks and feels the same. We all have the right (thank G*d) to our opinion and to voice it. Will some people find it offensive? Absolutely. But for as many people that do the same number of people will find it funny or not give it a second thought. That's the beauty of diversity. It's also the foundation of democracy. You cannot expect people to accept you and/or your community if you yourself are unaccepting. It's not selective. When you censor people because you either don't like or understand what they said, on some level you lose your credibility to expect unconditional acceptance outside of your comfort zone. My .02.

CockyDude -

It's not acceptable to use public threads to play out your dissatisfaction over a moderation, even if thinly-veiled. You've been told to move on twice.

You are now on a 2-week time-out. You are not to access this site, our Facebook page, or any of our resources while on a time-out, nor are you to create additional screen names in order to circumvent the system.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Not real happy at this moment....... Went to get in my truck to head back to VA after a weekend in NY, found that I had a broken tie-rod on my truck! It is now in the shop getting fixed and I should be on my way with about a 3 hr delay. I guess I need to look at the positive side..... it could have happened while I was driving.

You know, it's funny you ask. I deliberately sought a degree that will allow me to get a job anywhere in the world at any time, and I have a get-away/escape plan. In my home office lock box I keep a list of all of the things I'll need to do (call my best friend to pick up my cats, transfer ownership of my house to my mother, etc.), a packing list (take LOTS of contact solution, extra lenses, and chapstick), and necessary travel documents (passports, wedding license, medical/legal proxies, etc.). I can grab the box and leave.

I put all of this in place during the 2004 presidential election, and I've kept everything up-to-date since then. So no, I haven't had to yet, but you just never know.

I think we would be surprised at how many have done this. I left a horrible relationship (noone on these sites) a few years back with what i could load in my car on my lunch hour. My boss encouraged me to after he found out the living conditions i was in and gave me a thousand bucks to do it.

I left my life there. I only had what i could fit in my car, which was mostly clothes and pictures, and took off across the country and came home. I left 8 years of accumulated "things" from my personal things growing up to somewhat expensive items i had purchased on my own. Boat, camper, motorcycle, hot tub, all of my Christmas stuff ...everything.

But, I'll tell you something. You *anyone, can rebuild, start again. Many of us have done it. In the end, you know it was worth it if the relationship was not healthy or safe. Things are just things. It has taken over two years to rebuild my life, but it is now rebuilt and i couldn't be happier and i know i made the best decision.

*hugs to you

Loving the fact that I fixed my facebook page all by myself! Figuring out all the new settings was a good thing.

Wish I had some sort of plan already set in place years ago..sigh

my beautiful, adorable Nanny G...

She is currently living in the Nursing Home i work at, which is wonderful, for both of us because i am with her most everyday.. my grandmother was always so independent, she raised 5 children on her own and when my mother was raising me, my grandmother was there for me, most everyday and always gave me her time, her love & smiles.

While it is wonderful to have her near, and be there for HER now, everyday.. it is equally wonderful that she has me near too.. The progression of her Dementia is very difficult to watch though- and seeing this everyday breaks my heart.. As well as the lack of visits from family, etc...It is so frustrating for her, i can feel it and i can see it, in her tears and her outbursts and she's just not herself because of it.. i know having me near makes it easier for her, and THAT is what strengthens me to spend every moment i can with her, despite the hurt of the changes in her everyday..

Right now, we're dealing with Sundown Syndrome, and the last few days her outburts have gotten far worse.. It exhausts her, and her confusion and loneliness make me so sad for her.. So, i do my best to spend every moment i can with her, even going there on my days off, just so she has someone familiar, and someone to help her smile & laugh.. i try my best to make this easier for her, and i can't help being angry at times that this wonderful woman, who gave her whole life to her children & grandchildren is dealing with this.. It hardly seems fair..

And i wish there was more i can do.. i adore Nanny G, with all my heart..& will always do what i can to make her days have some smiles, some love & something familiar...to calm her when i can & to give her my time.. Because her time was always precious to me, and i hope i can help her feel that in return when she needs it most.

My sewing machine is wearing out - I can't decide between another Pfaff or a Husqvarna....

I had a Pfaff that lasted me 20 years and went around the world with me and was used on a regularly - I miss it! It was the best sewing machine I've ever had (I've had many of the makes and worn the motors out of most of them! LOL!). Now to decide as to which make, then buy after Christmas....

I think my barber is trying to set me up with another client. I was long overdue for a haircut. Shortly after he was done with the clippers he started telling me about another female client who likes her hair really, really short. She is a police officer (which scores big points with him), she comes in every 3 or 4 weeks and always remembers to ask about his 4 boys.
I think he started cutting my hair about the same time he started cutting hers. But every time I get my hair cut he mentions her. Yet to meet her tho.
