My daughter, whom I love dearly, tells me that drinking water, eating a high fiber diet and a little exercise will cure constipation.
MAYBE IF YOU"RE NOT ON CHEMO!!!!!!!!!
AAARRRRGGGGHHHHH! The wisdom of the young--they know everything!

tell your daughter she has NO CLUE what these meds can do to your body! I have never, ever, ever had to resort to an enima/suppository/calcium nitrate. But, that's what it took to get me moving again

I have what's known as "Narcotic Gut"; the meds paralyze my system so nothing moves. I really have to stay on top of it and can't go even a day without....well, going!

You gals are all so real! I'm seeing problems that I've strugglesd with written about on this thread that I haven't seen so elequentIy nailed anywhere else.....certainly not in CURE magazine. So I'd say this is helping someone. Its an outlet that's for sure. I took effexir for hot flashes and it produced immediate results. Very miraculous down from flashes 10-12 times a day to 0 (not even night sweats) after 2 days on the drug. I'd recommend it but I fell asleep at the wheel on it!!!!
glad my husband was along and noticed! saved my life and his, too. So one solution only brings new problems. A Time to Heal, 12 weeks with a support group gave me opportunity to complain and moan in the flesh. check it out. but please keep up this thread as stuffing feelings is no good for the body, soul or spirit. Gotta get out there and embrace a "new normal" for 2011. and I'm still trying to take Oprah's advice and write down 3 things I'm thankful for at bedtime.....I do sleep better. Write on, plenty of us care; we each can relate and have something to share. grace and peac. arby

SO. . . GUESS WHAT??? DingDong son in law got arrested today. Something about stolen/missing guns in NC at the home of his last ex gf and her daddy, the FBI man. So, now I know the jerk isn't in his right mind. Cause who, in God's name would steal weapons from an FBI man??? only a drug addict would do something that stupid. We heard about it after he had been taken a couple of hours. A SWAT team came and surrounded the house. And they took him in. it's been hours and his mug is posted but no charges and no bond has been set yet.
I hate to see bad things happen to young people but hes had this coming for a looong time. I am hugely relieved that he is . . um... tied up? hahahaha and will be for a nice long time.

Annette; 1st off, you're not a lamer, nor a Debbie Downer. it's a lesson i,m working hard on, too. i've come to realize i TRAINED ple. to thin i was a rock, i could DO anything.. and ya know what?we can, when we need to. short term, its; a wonderful talent. long term., it kills us, reality.. it adds too much stress to beGOD in your own life. that was me, im not saying its' you.. today, i have friends that im reeducating about me. they can take it; when im down, or crying.. BASICALLY, im training to see me as a human being!! at work, do what you can, slwly, let them know you are capable of the work, the process itself has change.. you have really helped me in being more honest; with YOUR honesty.. if ya need to cry, cry. it cleans out room to appreciate the good ythings, even if that comes later..( its not like i can stop the tears, anyway. so im trying not to beat myself up about them thinking of you.. we are sistahs from another motha, girl.. 3jays0

Connie, I am SO sorry but I laughed out loud!!! All our prayers have been answered. Our God has a great sense of humour!!! hehehehehehehehehe

Connie...I'm with Barbe; I did the same thing! He'll be tied up a long way away from home too because they will cart his butt right back to NC, and they do not play games down there. I'm sorry for your daughter, but I'm so relieved for you and DH. That's the best -legal-way to have gotten rid of him

OMG, Connie! Did he get his just desserts? Funny how karma can get ya back and it didn't take long for him to get his!! (usually it takes karma years to catch up). Is your daughter really pregnant from him? Hope not. How is she reacting to all this?0

well, I always say "have faith, everything will work out" so often my kids had it engraved on necklace ...but its true! Perhaps this will open dd's eyes and heart to whats going on. Nothing romantic about big time theft (and from FBI man?! thats just crazy) and prison and mug shot on a wanted list. ach

connie; i was posting same time you were, and totally missed it "vengeance is mine; says the Lord" wow!! aint that the truth.. you didn't have to do a thing, and he is sooo screwed. better than you couldve thought of..someone told me to wait, gave me that verse for my ex..works everytime... 3jays0

Thanks for laughing with me. DD is doing better. She decided that IF she is pg, then she will deal with it. We talked a long time and then she went out. She is sad for her daughter, she says. But I know she's sad to not have him to push around, for instance, she picked him up, had him detail her car then dropped him off. He called her last night too, said he thinks he will be in for a couple of months. HAHAHAHAHAAAA as if.
It's so hard, being the mother of grown ups that have to manage their own deals. I know we did a good job raising three young-uns in a small house, but they all seem to be blowing up their lives lately. The added stress is definately a bad thing. But you have helped me understand that they have to do this on their own, and pay for their own mistakes and clean up their own messes. I'll be the mom that brings cookies and beer.
I don't think she's preg. but we should know by this weekend, via home test. She said it wasn't unprotected, but that the condom split. hmmm? I hate it when you can't trust what they say. To me that's the ultimate in disrespect.
Hoping for a peaceful day!

Boy Connie, wish my daughters situation would have ended like yours did. You must be on such a high. I know I would be. Without my daughter knowing it I would be jumping up and down with joy. Saying......thank you dear lord. I also know it is hard to see our children in such dilemmas. It's hard to let go and let them make their own mistakes. Sometimes we just have to. Wouldn't it be wonderful if they would just listen and take our advice. I would probably fall over dead. Hell, cancer wouldn't have to kill me cuz that would. I too LOL. I could just visualize it as I was reading. Maybe things will work out now. Good luck. Leisa

Leisa, I pray for your daughter and her child every day. I hope that some lessons are learned and that they (our kids) make better choices about their own lives. I had to laugh at jumping up and down cause thats how I felt... "do you think we should call the jail and tell them to look at his child support shortfall??" she got defensive saying, what? are you happy about this? and inside I was screaming YES, DAD BURN IT, I'M GLAD THE SUCKER IS LOCKED UP. But I just turned away and smiled. She went out with her aunt and they partied til 4 a.m. Then she had a hangover but it was the best won hangover of the year.
She had so many feelings, mixed up ones. Care/confusion, concern/distain, upset for her daughter/glad he cant influence. Now, we wait until a pregnancy test or her period starts as early as this weekend. After all this stress, I pray she isn't pg. But she's also scared that she may have contracted an STD or worse that's just adding to her stress. School starts tomorrow, I hope she can just start to focus on that and gradually let him go, now that she really knows who and what he is. I'm sorry for her DD too, she had no daddy. But she's got lots of us that love her and play with her and spend quality time, she has done fine without him so far, I see no need for him in her life. How Sad.
Tomorrow is another day. Other battles must be fought. We could use a part-time day care.

Good luck on that one. My daughter has been looking for a while now. They are as expensive as everything else. You can't even find a decently priced sitter these days. They all call themselves nannies and want to charge $ 10 - $ 15 an hour. It's like H E E L L L O O O O......you are watching my kids in my home and you want to charge me 15 bucks an hour. To eat my food, drink my drinks, watch my t.v.....What is wrong with this picture.
You can't even get a high school kid to do it these days without wanting to charge $ 7- $ 8 bucks an hour. It's getting ridiculous. You almost can't afford to work while your kids are young. I try to help her when I can, but boy do those boys have a lot of energy. Almost way to much for grandma to handle. They bowl on Friday nights, so I try to do it then.
She does have someone (the sister of the boys daddy) who watches both of them. She's not always reliable. On many occasions she will call or text them at the last minute and tell them, OH BY THE WAY...I CAN'T WATCH THE BOYS TODAY. Leaving them in the lurch. I keep telling her FIND A NEW SITTER. Just one more thing she doesn't listen about. That girls gonna drive me crazy. OK, crazier that I already am.
Good luck to you, Leisa

hey ladies, I don't have much time to get caught up so I just skimmed...Connie I hope you get a big fat negative on that test...Leisa...I sure hope your dd gets it a sitter, I know it's ridiculous these days! A big "that SUX" to all the rest of you...
My DP and I have been dealing with major family drama this week; the tragic kind that tears a family apart. We're both sick with worry about how things are going to work out, and it's probably going to get a lot worse before there is any hope of it getting better. I'd go into more, but it's one of those bizarre stories that if anyone who "knows" me outside this room read, they'd be able to put two and two together and I really don't want my family and close friends knowing my screen name on here. This is my place to be with people who get it, not people who think they do but really are just nosey. Besides, you'd all think I made this one up anyway, that's how f*cked up it is
Sorry I can't stay, just wanted to check in and say hello...and ask for some prayers that God guides those who need it, to make smart choices and do something to improve the situation. There are children involved and we'll be damned if we will sit by and watch them be dragged down and have their lives ruined because the adults who are supposed to protect them did not.

Oh Navy! Your families are in my prayers. We don't need to hear the nitty-gritty to care enough to hope for the best. Just let us know how you're doing as the drama unwinds.....

DITTO THAT.. Dear, dear Navy, Know that you and your family are in our prayers. Why, I just can't imagine families that do not agree with one another!!!
it's such a waste of time and energy.
Sending GOOD VIBES to all who need it, and praying for good test results and justice.

Oh ladies, thank you all so much for your prayers. We finally got a break today and caught up on our sleep. We're just drained. It was all we could do to shower
We know this is only a reprieve, so we took it and rested up. Hopefully tomorrow will be quiet and we'll be able to catch up on our housework (with 3 dogs, 2 cats and 2 birds you can imagine what 5 days off does to a house), and maybe tomorrow we can even watch my boys in the first round of the playoffs.
I'm off to bed..even though I slept in late AND took a nap, I'm too pooped to even surf.
hugs to you all, I hope everyone here is and remains bitch free for the weekend.

gentle hugs and kickass prayers for you Navy!!

More good news... DD is not pregnant. YAY, that's like way too much drama for my life. It's so exhausting, drama. Maybe thats why some people really enjoy it and welcome it but not me. Interesting that two good, no, three good things have happened since Christmas. Feels like a whole new year!! Heres hoping for more good to come.
(FOOTBALL ALARM) .. Watching Auburn for the SEC kick Oregons BUTT in Phoenix tonight. well, it's a good game, 16-11 and it is a good game, last one of the college season. Kind of like the super bowl for college level. I like college ball much better than pro. But I'll watch the Superbowl too, just for the fun of it.
Hope everyone is hibernating, I am. It's freezing way down here in coastal Georgia. If we hibernated all winter, just think of the costs that we would save.. heat, food, gas.

congradulations on NOT being a grandma again

I am having a really crappy day. I hate making phone calls- finally I pysch myself up to make calls today- usually if I can make the first one I can keep going- just have a hard time switching that mode on. So I can't get through to the unemployment line- all operators busy- hold lines are all full- hangs up- no big surprise there. thought I had my annual mammo tomorrow- couldn't remember the time- turns out the appt I schuduled last week - no record- not scheduled! and they said I should wait til its officially been a year last one or might have ins problems... lost my insurance card, called and got numbers to print off one- but printer won't work right, then realized I can just take DH's card- but I don't have a damn appt tomorrow anyway, so who cares! Found out some appts with therapist needed to have a pre-approval access code- which I had, but the doc forgot to ask for and I forgot to give them and now on refiling it they are denying it cause I didn't have preapproval!! AGH!!!!! one of those days.... so discouraging cause its so hard for me to deal with stuff like this and when I finally muster up being able to do it- just hit a freaking wall and want to curl up in a balll...

Had a great lunch with DH looking at art---a continuation of last week's date night. But I came back to work to find an email from my supervisor that we have to get our midyear reviews this week. This is the same supervisor who told me at last year's review how I did great until February but then I didn't do anything and really slacked off . . . you know, when I was having 2 surgerys for stupidbreastcancer and that dumb old radiation treatment and radiation pneumonitis. . . don't forget the part where he said that everyone who worked with me considered it to be punishment. . . . . and yes, he did know I was dealing with breast cancer. . . .I can feel my stomach clenching up.
So much for getting myself to relax. . . .where the heck did I put that letter for the personel file?

Hi ladies. I'm back from vacation and catching up on all the posts. Hope you all had a good Christmas and Happy New Year to you all.
3monstmama....easier said then done, but try not to get too stressed out.
Alyad. go ahead and curl up, you deserve it. And don't feel discouraged.

Alyad - I can totally relate. I've had those kinds of days. It's the worst when you've been putting off taking care of something, then you finally try to take care of it, and you can't. I have to deal with unemployment as well. My benefits were supposed to be extended by 20 weeks, but they were only extended by 10. I finally called unemployment and it was impossible to get through to someone. Go ahead an curl up in a ball. I definitely have days I stay in my pajamas all day. Hopefully, you'll have a better day tomorrow.
