As Kathy said, we do come here to DS knowing we will not be judged in the critical and hurtful way we are so often judged by family members in the 'real world' !!
The longer I belong to DS the more I rely on this for my very sanity!
Is it any wonder that we adopt one another as virtual family members? It is an opportunity to do it over with the hindsite gained in the real world! And the lov...7 Comments -

I went to my boss and told him my ex was going to get an apartment upstairs to where I work. I told him I wasen't happy about it. He phoned the landlord and they said there wasen't even an apartment available and they wouldn't rent to him anyway. He lied to me, probably to get under my skin, he lies alot. Thank god its not true. I don't want to see him everyday comming in to get s...1 Comment -

I spent the weekend quite literally letting the hypothetical questions from my last journal entry simmer on the back burner; and coming back to find Donna's comment made me feel that my struggle had been heard.............and what more can any of us ask of one another?
I thankyou Donna and everyone of my friends who respond to my ponderings.
For the record, I believe we would all be save...

Thursday, July 17, 2008 |
It is because several of my friends here are in the midst of overwhelming crisis with or about mothers both living and dead that I tackle this oh so volitile topic of the mother/child bond, and it's many repercussions!!
I think we all {women at least} are convinced that it is one of the most life altering bonds which we are all inmeshed in for varying parts of our lives! ...1 Recommendation5 Comments -

That was sure one wasted outing at taxpayers expense. Like so many things new software just doesn't talk to Vista. They go on about drivers etc and the help lines never help, why is this new. I was told once never to upgrade while a product was new LOL that was way back when we were going from DOS to Windows. Like a lifetime ago, but here i am sitting with Vista and nothing, not e...1 Recommendation4 Comments -

The tumor shrunk! It was so hard for some of the doctors to say that, like they were wrong and did n;'t want to admit it. Who cares? They can be wrong, they are human. She may not be able to beat each and every one of her illnesses, but she beat this one. Then we were told by the doctor at the nh that sheis a very sick woman. She has so much wrong with her,...2 Comments -

The decision is made.
Wednesday afternoon I shall adopt a new rodent and quite likely his 2nd cousin(a chipmonk,maybe) who will be a cordless keyboard, as well !
So that at least the rodent feels welcome and at home, the lines are open for suggestions as to a name for him! Just so that he doesn't become noncompliant like a certain one who shall REMAIN nameless!!

Medical status of tethered rodent still undecided, but he is not holding his own! (a moments silence, if U pls!)
Now this is no reflection on the super assistance I've received. From the onset his condition was considered as probably terminal, but it means I'm getting a new super mouse for starters rather than a new everything. With the on screen improvements that could...1 Recommendation5 Comments
