Title: Dating Thread Part XXII-In Like a Lion, Out Like a ___(fill in the blank)
Post by: BT65 on March 04, 2008, 07:20:23 am: Alright, I'll do it. :)

Morning ladies,

I really don't have anything exciting to report. Just wanted to start a new thread.

I have a soar throat this morning, which I'm sure is from running on empty all weekend. That's alright, it was well worth it. ;)

Today I have to go to the library to pay them the money I owe them and get a couple things at the store. Then tonight a new class starts-Political Psychology. We have a new teacher, and I hope things transition well for all of us. I rarely censor myself, so I'm not too worried about it. Hopefully he (or she) will be able to take my sarcastic sense of humor. I usually try to bring humor into the classroom.

And Queen, I don't know if you tried to watch 'The Wire' on demand, but I did last night. It's not going to be on 'on demand' until 03/10. So I guess we're stuck with waiting until Sunday.

OK ladies, I hope you all have a good start to your day. I'm sure I'll check in later-

Yeah, right. We can hope!

Post by: cjc on March 04, 2008, 08:36:19 am: Hello ladies. Love the new thread title. Betty, glad you had a good time at the NA convention. I used to go to meetings and there are some great people there. I don't go now cause I would feel like a hypocrite but still love the people. Hope everyone is okay. Moonlight, Take your iron pills and give the stool sample and hopefully you can skip the probing. UGH!!! Robert has Broncihitus so I kept him home from school today. I will probably send him tomorrow but will have to see how his cough is. His doctor said he will cough for a couple weeks at least. I had a new picture taken. I will post it for today, then take it down. Tried to get by the jail and put some money in for my oldest but didn't have time and from the info I'm getting , am no longer inclined. He is being very demanding, Like he has any control now. Sheesh!!!! Well, time to start getting ready for work. I have to master the curling iron and am working on it. Here is the picture. Later Ladies. Cristy Took it down. One day only(like a good sale)

Post by: BT65 on March 04, 2008, 09:41:15 am: Ann, to create a docile 'new' man, I think we need to get 'um young and train 'em right. ;)

Cristy, I love your pic! Why would you want to take it down? Isn't it funny how people go to jail and then act like the world owes them? Yeah, there are great people in N.A. I have made several long-lasting friendships. Something I never had when in active addiction. I respect you for not going while you're toking. Why did you go before? Did you have problems with other drugs?

OK ladies, off to take a hot shower and venture out. It's fucking freezing outside and the forecast is for 5 more days of frigidity and snow. I'M SO SICK OF THIS SHIT! (yes, I'm yelling) ;)

Post by: Queen Tokelove on March 04, 2008, 10:52:17 am: Morning Ladies---

Yeah, I know, what the hell am I doing up? I wish I had an answer for you but I don't. Queen Nefertiti is being demanding and trying to be all over the laptop while I am trying to write. She is finally out of heat and back to her playful self. All is normal again. And it is cold again. I have to go get my depo shot today. I am going this time. Nothing else to report. I am going back to sleep, will check in later.

Post by: minismom on March 04, 2008, 10:54:14 am: After 1 day of teasing sun and 65F weather, we're back to ugly, gray, cold, and rain. I'm with you, Betty, I'm sick and tired of this crap!

Christy- great picture!

Hubby was in the car leaving to see clients this morning. I got up to get Mini her meds. Stepped on the left foot - all was fine. Stepped on the right foot - and a horrible pain shot from my head to my foot. My back hitched and down I went in a heap on the floor. #2 went running out the door screaming that I broke my foot trying to get hubby's attention. I'm trying to tell #2 to tell daddy it's my back, not my foot. So, he starts screaming that mom broke her back. Meanwhile, I'm crawling up the wall trying to stand. Hubby runs in the door in time to see me crumple again. I'm in tears, the kids are screaming. #2 decides he needs to call 911. Hubby is trying to explain that everything is OK to the operator who wants to now talk to me..oh, good grief! Long story short, I told hubby to go on to work. He gave me 800mg of Ibuprofin, the heating pad, and the phone. My house is now a disaster and I can't move. Oh, yeah, and I have to pee.

Hubby should be home around noon - I hope and pray. Gonna try to crawl to the bathroom before I end up with more problems on my couch. Better take the phone with me lest #2 decides to finish his conversation with the 911 operator.

Mum

Post by: Cheetara74 on March 04, 2008, 12:09:40 pm: Good morning ladies,
I'm having some coffee while looking over monthly bills. I have to pay them today. What else is new? LOL ::)
No doctors appointments this week. I need to go to Motor Vehicle to renew my drivers license and take new photo. I hate going to the Motor Vehicle but I have no choice. I have to do it because I need the photo id/driving privileges. Yesterday, one of my cousins called me to brag about her new man. I'm happy for her because she deserves to be happy. I just wish I had something good to report. No new man for me... :(

Oh well. The ex (hubby) called me and he wants to get new tattoos next week. I told him I will go with him. Since I need one of my tats to be done over (egyptian ankh) and I want to get another egyptian symbol. I have other egyptian tats on my back ...I got a whole egyptian theme going. :)
Title: Re: Dating Thread Part XXII-In Like a Lion, Out Like a ___(fill in the blank)
Post by: Queen Tokelove on March 04, 2008, 12:49:49 pm: I go an take a nap and all hell breaks loose. Mum, I hope you are ok, old girl..Number 2 just had your well being in mind and seems like he was on his job. I say give that kid a reward!!!! He loves his Mum. But picturing it all in my head, I had to smile.

Christy, nice pic. Sorry to hear that Robert is ill again. As far as your older son, let him lie in his bed ALONE. I really can't believe the attitude with that one.

Cheetara-- I am in the same boat as you with the license. I been needing to renew mine since January. It's been a pain this month because I can't go into my bank to withdraw money and have to rely on my bank card which has no Visa/Mastercard logo, it's just an ATM card and all I can get out is 200 bucks a day. It's going to take me 3 days to pay my bills. I am getting the license done next month for sure. I've been thinking about getting some more tatts myself. I have 4 now and a piercing(eyebrow). I was trying to go with something Pagan. I really want a pentacle but with a witch's hat on it, kind of tilted. I wanted the hat to be white but one tatt place said white wouldn't show up good on me because of my skin color. Maybe a purple hat. But I have been kind of nervous about getting one too, been thinking about the Hep C thing going on around here. I've had my series of shots but don't think it covers C. I may still do it but the Egyptian theme does sound nice and I like the ankh too, maybe I'll get my cat's name tatted on me since she is Queen Nefertiti. I can hear my son talking shit about that cause I told him I would get his name tatted on me. I already have to exes names, pretty soon I'll look like some graffitti with all the names.*LOL*

I haven't blogged in a few days but something did come to mind for me to blog about. YOU LADIES....You guys are a sense of strength for me whether you know it or not. I would like to do it sometime today maybe tomorrow. I would like to mention names but when I started blogging, I said I would never mention anyone from the forums or anything they talked about without asking for their permission. So, I am asking for permission to do this. If any of you ladies would not like to be mentioned then simply send me a pm or you can post it here, your choice. Let's just say, I'll wait til tomorrow to do the blog that way it will give people time to read and decide. But if I don't see anyone's ok then I to play it safe, I will NOT mention that person. Is that cool. I talk about things that are dear to me and you ladies are. I just want you all to know that.

Ok, enough of the mushiness, I am off to check out some more threads,watch my soaps and hopefully get in some Warcraft before the depo shot.
Title: Re: Dating Thread Part XXII-In Like a Lion, Out Like a ___(fill in the blank)
Post by: BT65 on March 04, 2008, 02:04:06 pm: Awwwwwwww Queen, how sweet. Yeah, you can mention my name (if I'm one of those people you were talking about). Well, I guess I won't be watching 'The Wire' until Sunday. Did you see it's not available on demand this week?

Cheetara, I have eight tattoos. Three of them are Native American. I'd like to get another one, but they do cost money, which is something I never have a lot of.

Oh and Queen, I used to have three piercings on my face. One in my left eyebrow, one in my nose and a labre. The day I got the labre, it closed up that night and I had to go back to the tat shop-they reopened it with a needle (yow). I have since removed them, but I've been seriously thinking about getting my eyebrow redone. I can do my nose myself if I ever wanted to get that one reopened.

I'm not one for putting names on my body. Not even my grandkid's. Don't know why. Just more into designs. If I get another one, it's going on the small of my back. I don't have any on my back. I have one on each hand, two on my left arm, one on my chest, one on my left boob, one on my left lower gut and one on my right lower leg.

OK, I'm going to check out a couple threads and go watch my soap. I'll check in tonight after school. Have a good one ladies-
Title: Re: Dating Thread Part XXII-In Like a Lion, Out Like a ___(fill in the blank)
Post by: minismom on March 04, 2008, 02:40:12 pm: Queen, I know what you mean about our sweet #2 (who is autistic). I can laugh about it now, but that poor operator probably thought someone was being killed. I was crawling acrossed the floor to get to him - he kept inching away. Hubby didn't even realize what #2 was doing. I was yelling in pain and at #2. The kids were scared. Now, it's funny. I was just waiting for the police to show up and make sure all was well. They never came. I guess we weren't that important ;) Oh, and if you want to mention, me or mini, that's fine - just make me look good. ;D

Betty, I don't know what the heck happened. I've had back issues since #5 was born - and broke my tail bone with his big ol' head. It's still sore, but I've been on the couch on the heating pad all day. Eventually I'll need to get up and start supper. We're having bean soup (chili) and cornbread. That's about all I can deal with today. I need to make it super spicy to clear out my sinuses. :o

Took #2 and #6 to the doc yesterday. #2 is on meds that effect his blood pressure and weight, so he has to go in for a check-up every 3mths. I brought #6 to have her weighed and get a referral from the doc. #2 has gained 1lb since December. He's 8 1/2 and up to 48lbs. He's a skinny booger but doesn't eat much. #6 (will be 4yrs on the 17th) has finally broken the 25lb mark. She's up to a whopping 28lbs and 30 inches. Her head is only 18inches. #5's was 17 at birth! So, she's itty bitty which is fine. It actually makes her disability less noticable. People just assume she's under 2. Other than that, I really wanted to smack the doctor. She's frustrating as hell and I'm still debating wether it would be better to start over with a new one.

Hubby and I talked about getting tatoos. I'd want one that meant something, even if only to me. I've got a few sketches that my brother (who is single by the way) did for me. I would want it in full color which means it would be expensive. And I'm needle phobic. Not a good combo.

Hope you ladies are having a great day! Keep warm and think sunny, bright thoughts. It can't stay this gray forever.

Mum

Post by: Cheetara74 on March 04, 2008, 03:39:47 pm: Bettytacy:
I have 8 tats myself. I don't have much money either. My next tat ...the ex said he'll spring for it. He seems to be in a "spending mood". So be it... ;D I'm so glad to hear that I'm not the only poz woman here with tats. I love body art.

Queen Akasha:
Speaking of Queen Nefertiti, I have Queen Nefertiti and King Tutankhamun tattooed on my back. I wanted to have strong egyptian figures on my back. The next tat phase I want to get the Great Pyramids done underneath Tut and Nef. That's cool that you want to get Pagan tats. The pentacle and the hat is a cool idea.

Definitely, get your license when you can. It's pretty handy to have.

Minismom:
What kind of tat do you want? Is it symbol? An animal? What exactly? I'm not a fan of needles either but for some reason getting a tat turns me on. Literally. It arouses me. I love sitting there...listening to music ...daydreaming while the needle goes in and out.

Post by: keepingfaith on March 04, 2008, 04:20:16 pm: Good Afternoon Ladies,

The sun teased us in Mississippi too. Today is a cold 42 yesterday was 78. I have 6 tat's myselft. I have them on both should blades, lower back thigh and leg. I have 4 piercing. Both tits, navel and my tongue.

Queen- I know i havent been on the board long but you can mention me in your blog if you want

Mini- I hope you feel better. I bet it was cute to see your sweet running around being responsible.

Post by: Winiroo on March 04, 2008, 05:50:33 pm: Texas weather LOL It snowed last night for the first time this winter. It was all melted and gone by 9 am today.
Sunny and 57 right now.

I don't have any tattoos. I've never been able to think of anything I want on my skin forever. I've thought about it.
The only thing I have pierced is my ears.

My son has 5 or 6 of tats on him. I wasn't too thrilled to see him come home with tattoos. But whats done is done. He has a bunch of earrings but I think lately he has only been wearing one.

The last guy I dated had 6 tattoos I think. I cant remember maybe more. Skulls and stuff. ears pierced and a nipple too.

Billy doesn't have any tats or piercings. Which is fine with me. It would look funny on him. He is too sweet natured to pull off the look.

Obviously I don't have a particular type of man I am attracted to. LOL those two couldn't be anymore different.

Queen - I doubt you would have anything to blog about me but I don't care if you do mention me.

Modified because
Failed to say my late husband Michael had one tattoo and one ear pierced

Post by: minismom on March 04, 2008, 06:30:01 pm: The one I'd like to have (on the small of my back) is hard to describe and give it justice, but I'll try:

On the right in shades of black, white, and gray is the trunk of a tree with some branches and leaves. hooked on one branch is a chrysillis (sp?), open, with a big, beautiful butterfly flying out. But, just beyond the tree, above and to the left, in full vivid bright colors, is a nature scene with a stream, trees, a field. The tips of the butterfly's wings are in the "colored" part and are in full color.

Butterflies are symbols of life. The contrast between the dark and vivid symbolizes my journey through life: where I've been and where I'm going. The stream is always in motion and is a "live" source of water. Not stagnant like a lake or "still" body of water. Again, another symbol of moving through life and being "alive".

Doesn't sound as good as it looks in the sketch Bro. did for me.

He did another that's all done in blacks/grays/whites. It's a flower. But, the middle is a very beautiful, angelic face. There are 6 pedals, 1 for each of our children. It's simple and small, but the sketch is gorgeous.

So, what do you think?

Mum

Post by: Snowangel on March 04, 2008, 06:39:55 pm: Win-LOL. I was down in Ft Worth in 1999 or 2000 and it snowed. All the locals were like it never snows and this and that. One of the guys that worked in the same co but in TX had never seen snow before. Figures, I go down there hoping for nice weather and the snow follows me down.

Mum- My goodness, I hope you are feeling better. What a great kid to call 911.

Queen- Cat question for you or anyone who has cat knowledge. I have 4 dogs, no cats. There has been a neighborhood cat peeing or spraying my front door. Why would they do this? How do you get rid of that smell?
DJ question :)- Remember that song Mary J. sang with Grand Puba "Whats the 411 hun?"- I love that one but anyway- what group was he with originally? I had a cat in high school I named Puba but I can't remember him spraying or peeing on anything ?
I'm cool with blog thing too.

Cristy- I hope Robert is feeling better. It seems like I as soon as I get one well, another one gets sick. My sons father used to guilt me into putting money into his whatever he used to call it in jail. Try not to let him talk you into it, unless you want to do it for yourself. I used to dread getting those damn calls. Everything adds up the phone calls, canteen(thats the word, I was trying to remember), taking time to go back and forth to jail, being searched. I wish you the best in that whole situation, it is a hard place to be.

Betty- Hope you like your new class and everyone appreciates your sense of humor ;D

Moon- I hope you are feeling better and have more energy.

I have one tattoo one my left shoulder. Originally, It was my olders sons fathers name with a heart and a flower. He got the same one with my name, except you can hardly see it, he is so dark skinned. I have since had that tat covered with some flowers, surrounded by a starburst with my sons name at the bottom. I kinda feel like I have to go get another one with the trips names but I haven't figured out where, what font or design. Decisions, decisions. I think a butterfly might be nice since it signifys change and they wouldn't be alive, if they didn't fight for their life getting out of the cocoon( I read that in a mag once). I had my belly button pierced but I had to take it out because it got infected, from taking it out to go through the metal detector at the jail when it was relatively new.

Ok, Girlfriends. I got a question for everyone, if it is too personal , apologize. It used to be when I experienced the Big O and I don't mean Overstock, I would be very relaxed and fall off to sleep. For the last 6 months or so, you can wire me for sound, I am WIDE awake for at least 3 to 4 hrs. Does this happen to anyone else? It is driving me crazy, kinda takes the fun out of things,and makes me even more tired than I already am.

Take care everyone,
Snow

Maybe your body is telling you that you aren't done. We are capable of multiples ya know.

Never been an issue for me. I'm not tired or wired afterward. Just sensitive.

And the cat thing. Its marking its territory. Boy cats do that.
Nasty stinky pee can be deodorised with baking soda. sprinkle it on the area and let it sit, or make a paste out of water and baking soda. "Arm n Hammer"
After a day or so wash it with white vinegar then warm water with a little dish soap.

Some suggestions to keep a cat away is to sprinkle cayenne pepper flakes around the problem area. Or spray fox urine. But fox urine stinks.
Not sure if the pepper flakes work always. But cats are pretty sensitive to smells.

Well hell, Cheetara, if your bf's going to pay for it, hell yes get one! I like getting tatts myself.

Snow, sounds like you got some good advice from Wendy about the cat thing.

Well, I found out tonight that I got an A in my Ethics class and a B+ in my Social Psychology class. Yee-ha. I'll be so glad when this next 8 weeks is over. Take care ladies-

Post by: Queen Tokelove on March 04, 2008, 09:09:46 pm: Evening Ladies----

First off, thanks for the permission thing for my blog. I appreciate that, I will start working on it tomorrow for sure. At the moment, I am relaxing, sipping on a glass of Arbor Mist Chardonnay. And you know the green too.. ;) Just got in from Walmart about an hour ago. We went with a mutual friend who was doing grocery shopping. Roomie made some groceries and I bought a 1gb flash drive thinking I could put my Warcraft game on it but my game was too big. So, I filled it up with the music I had on my laptop.

Same friend took me for my depo shot. I get there and the nurse began her spiel saying that since I waited so long that I had to get a pregnancy test before getting my shot. I thought it was hilarious and explained that my tubes had been cut, burnt, and tied for 17 years now. It was highly unlikely that I would be pregnant. She admitted that she hadn't looked at my chart but laughed too after I said that. I also told her I had sex 2 months ago but a condom was used, that was good enough for her and she stuck me in my ass and sent me on my way.

I am surprised so many of us is tatted up too. I feel like we're part of some Ya-Ya Sisterhood. The exes' names I have on me, I will never get covered up. One was the person who infected me and the other was someone who I really cared about. Each put me through shit but every time I look at those tatts, it reminds me not to make the same mistake again. When I got the one ex's name done the tatt person put it in a light color because he said it would be easy to cover should we break up. The next names to go on me is my kids and kitties, no more men that's for sure. I want a taz, a dragon, and a black panther for starters. I did have my nose pierced once but it closed the same day when I went to sleep and woke up the ring was out. It was painful so I decided I won't get it done again. I have my left eyebrow pierced but that didn't hurt at all. I have 3 holes in my left ear and 2 in my left but I rarely wear earrings. When I do, I prefer studs or small hoops. I've heard too many horror stories about tongue piercing to want that done. I also have a tatt my ex paid for in Chinese letters means Smoke...hehe

Congrats on the good grades, Betty. And if remember you don't have anything lower than a B, right? I know you are counting the days til the break. Yeah, I saw no Wire on HBO on Demand, I'm gonna keep HBO til the last episode then I'm getting rid of that channel. There is nothing else I want to see on it now.

Snow--- Winiroo gave a good idea about the cat spraying and what to put out there. I usually use ammonia to keep them away. It is the males spraying because you have dogs or a female cat in heat stopped by. My roomie's one cat Ziggy sprays around the house, he does it for attention and him and my cat are trying to be the Alpha cats of the house. We have a water bottle with water and vinegar in it we use to clean the area. I tried the cheyenne pepper, it works for a sec or til vacuum and forget it's down there. I believe Grand Puba was with the Brand Nubians if I remember correctly.

The weather has changed drastically. Everything is covered over with ice, no snow but it rained too. So there is a warning out. I almost busted my ass getting to my door from Walmart. Damn and we didn't buy no salt. I hope the mailman will be alright tomorrow.

Ms. Twice A Week called and left me 2 messages. I could've answered the phone but I didn't want to be bothered but she left me the information I needed. There is some place closer I can go for therapy so I'm going to look into that tomorrow.

I guess that is it for me. I am going to go into deep chill mode after responding to a few more threads. HAve a good night everyone...

Post by: vivyt on March 04, 2008, 09:25:34 pm: Ok Betty, I have to ask...what is a "labre" Apparently everyone else knows but me...LOL!

I have wanted to get a tattoo for so long but I am such a perfectionist that I don't know what to get. Sometimes I think I should just get one that has no meaning and then I wouldn't have to think about it. And then I have to wonder where to get it. It has to be somewhere the kids at school won't see...I don't know...

Post by: MOONLIGHT1114 on March 04, 2008, 10:30:47 pm: Mum~ So sorry about you trying to climb the wall after that stinging, shooting pain. Def sounds like a pinched nerve or that "syatic (sp?) nerve" thing.

I have been dizzy and short of breath all afternoon and esp this evening. I swear, these neck muscles are cutting off the oxygen to my brain. My new benefits start tomorrow and first thing I am going to do is call about my coverage. I am going to see my chiropractor ASAP for an adjustment, I can feel the pressure in my neck and my ears have been ringing for a month. I go see my massage therapist tomorrow. So, Snow, unfortunately, no energy and I feel winded just trying to keep my head up.

BT, I love that you're taking political psyc during this election year. It should make for some good topics in your class!

We are under a tornado watch as storms move up from the south towards Maryland. My area is due to get 2+ inches of rain between 3am and 8am tomorrow morning!!

I have been thinking a lot about my ass lately. LOL :D I can't even get the damn sample to the doc bec during business hours I am an hour's drive away. LOL What do I do? FedEx it, lmao? Mom said something about that I may just send it directly to a lab who sends results to the doc. I haven't even opened the damn package yet.

I still find it strange that nothing was asked about my diet. :-\

Iron tabs are fine, "Slow Fe" is not causing any stomach upset. Now, who would want that if we had a gastric problem, where I was "bleeding somewhere?" Tisk tisk.

Speaking of bleeding, Aunt Flo circled the airport today (or so I thought) but then took off on another course and hasn't returned. I am about 4 days late. Not scared of that, but scared to tell the GYN about this late arrival. I spent all summer dodging her and telling her "NO" when she wanted to "clean house." (Did I mention I hate the thought of anesthesia?) I went off of the pill last summer instead and was fine until now. Crampy, but no Auntie Flo......Has me thinking about babies although there's no way I could ever have one with Iceman. If we did have an accident, he was snipped years ago. Now can you just imagine my blonde self, vertigo, bad back, anal probe walking, low blood sugar, high blood sugar, low iron, pickle craving GF carrying a bundle in my lipo belly? Now let's not forget the lipo belly....... ;D

Gotta go to bed, loopy-loo in the head. Just wait until the Sustiva kicks in....... :D

My nightmare.......................:D

Post by: sunseeker on March 04, 2008, 11:34:20 pm: Hi Girls

Well, I enjoyed hearing about your tattoos. I have three, the tramp stamp (Sun moon and stars) one on my thigh (Winnie the Pooh) and my make-up is tattooed on. I am looking to get one more. Just not sure where. Went to my training class today and they entered my business card in a raffle and I was excited to win. I won a really cute porcelain doll, but it smells like smoke. Its a really pretty doll, but you can just tell that someone had it in a room where they were a chain smoker. Any ideas for getting the smoke out? Even the box that it came in smelled horrible. I had it in the car, since I did not want to carry it around and the car stunk. Its really bad when I will complain about cigarette smoke. I am a closet smoker and will have about 6 cigarettes a year.

Mum-You be careful with your back. If you don't mind some advise, you should stay away from the heating pad for a few days. You should ice, usually after you have thrown out your back, you back is inflamed and when you put heat on it, its just going to inflame it more. The ice will reduce the swelling then after a few days you can use heat or you can even alternate between the heat and ice. Just what I learned from when I worked for a chiropractor for 7 years.

Vivty- I am with you what is a Labre? As far as a tattoo goes, I would really think about it before you get it, Its going to be perminate, well unless you want to do tattoo removal if you don't like it, but that will cost more than that tattoo. Its crazy to think that our era will grow old and it will seem natural to be 80 with tattoo's and piercing, where are parents era could never dream of that.

Queen- If you don't mind me asking and feel free to PM me if you would rather not post your answer here, but what do you think of the depo shot? I have been off the pill for about 4 months and I have been getting horrible cramps, which I do not get when I am on the pill. But the bad part to the pill is that I spot a week prior to having my period, so its like having my period for two weeks. I go to doctor feel good next week and was going to talk to her about the depo shot. Do you still have your period after you get the shot?

OK ladies it looks like we have a brain-i-ack amongst us. Good Job Betty on the grades. That is so awesome, I know you have worked your tail feathers off. So well deserved.

Snow- In regards to your question, I usually am wide awake for a little bit after the big O. Sometimes I find if am not finished I can't go to sleep, but I have never been able just to roll over and go to sleep like most guys can, bastards

Moon- A tornado watch, I can't even imagine. I know people always say they would not want to live in California due to earthquakes, but least those sneak up on you. I have been through several. I remember the one in October of 1991. I remember where I was and what I was doing, Not to mention the World Series was being played, I think with the San Francisco Giants. Scary day and more scary days to come with all of the after shocks.

Keepingfaith- OK I have to know did getting your nipples pierced hurt? I am not sure I can do that. I am afraid the guy may slip and puncture my implants, and I paid good money for these suckers to stand up straight up. I would like my tongue done but my work would never allow it. I did have my nose, but it got infected so I let close up. But that I would do again.

Cheetra- I would love to see some pictures of your tats, they sound amazing. I am thinking that my next tat will be some sort of a flower, most likely tulips. They are my favorite flower.

Post by: BT65 on March 05, 2008, 06:44:36 am: Morning ladies:

Mum, I hope you're feeling better today with your back thing. Please be careful young lady!

Queen, I have gotten one 'C.' It was in a 'Research Methods in Psychology' class. That had to do with how psychologists do studies on groups of people etc. It was all Greek to me. About the tongue piercing, I wouldn't get one done on my tongue either. I took my daughter to get hers done when she was 16 (I had to sign for her). She wanted to go to the mall afterwards. Immediately after it was done, her tongue got really swollen, which they told her would happen. So before going to the mall, we had to stop by a gas station and get a lot of ice. She couldn't eat solid food that had to really be chewed for a couple days. Not something I would want to go through. Last time I had my nose pierced, I did it myself. I got one of those self-piercing kits from the local beauty supply store. I really didn't like it though, so I let it close. I am seriously thinking about re-doing the eyebrow. I always liked that one when I had it, and don't know why I let it close. I had a thin rainbow ring and it looked nice actually.

Viv and Sun, a labre is right below the lower lip, in between that and the chin. Trust, it hurt when they re-opened it with a needle. Sun, you have your make-up tattooed up and you have implants? Wow. Do you have eyeliner tatted on as well? That just seems like it would be so painful. You go girl!

Well, nothing exciting planned for today. I'm going to do laundry and go pay the library what I owe them so I can check out a movie or two. Nothing else planned. I'll check in later ladies-

Edited to add: Cin, I hope things get better for you girl. Hang in with us!

Post by: minismom on March 05, 2008, 07:35:07 am: Betty, the back seems to be better this nasty, wet, cold, gray morning. I was able to sleep better last night, just can't breathe this morning. I'm still leery so keeping #2 away from the phone and waiting for hubby to get up before I try to stand again. Trying to decide if I want to go grocery shopping today. It is stinkin' 7:30 in the morning and I'm being asked what's for dinner. Good grief, all I'm thinking about is when I can get my NAP! Feeding time at the zoo, so I better make this short.

Have the best of days and try to think sunny warm blue-sky thoughts.

My brother and son both have quite a few. MM, glad you are feeling better. I can see your son trying to call 911 for you. Gotta help Mommy. So very sweet even though I'm sure it was interesting trying to explain it to the operator. Queen, if I manage to do anything interesting and you wish to mention it in your blog, feel free. Ml, hope you are feeling better. Betty, I had some major problems with crack and cocaine at one point. Been off for....a little over 3 years. I used to go to NA meetings but would feel hypocritical now since I smoke weed everyday. I do miss some of the people. I never went to one of the big conventions, I think it would be fun. Congratulations on your good grades Well, time to start getting ready for my lunch shift. When I get home I really need to do some housework but will probably go to the library and get some new books to read instead. Later, Cristy

Sorry to hear that you are under the weather, Cindy. And no Auntie Flo and Ice is snipped. Hmm, wonders what's going on there. Since you know you are not preggers, I would enjoy the break but understands your concern. Sun, after getting my first depo shot I spotted for a few days which I was estatic about because I use to bleed for weeks which was not good since I was anemic at the time. Then it was gone, no more tampons!!!!! I love it. I haven't gained any weight from the shot which is the one complaint I have heard about the depo. My bff is jealous of me cause the depo didn't work for her. Basically, I take it to balance out my hormones not for birth control reasons, I was fixed 17 years ago. If I pop up preggers, I'm getting paid!!!

It snowed some more today so now there is snow over the ice we got yesterday. I just rushed back in from Walmart. I picked up the Elizabeth sequel and bought some speakers and a woofer for my laptop for my musical enjoyment... ;) What can I say, I may be partially deaf but I still like some BOOM!!! I'm off to check out the other threads and jam for a few. Will check back in later....

LOL Depo would be awesome if it worked for me. I'd love to try it. I'll likely complain everytime I go in till they give me what I want.
Its now been a month since I started this new birth control pill. Its been three days since I took the last pill before the placebos and I've only had a slight pink show when I pee just this morning.
Not that I'm complaining. Heck if it never came I would be pleased as punch. All my pipes aren't connected anywho. There is no sense in trying to keep the plumbing functional if it isn't all connected. ;D

Congratulations Betty.

Labre piercing is below the lip and above the chin.

I laughed and asked what exactly he thought they'd do to get the earring in. He got up real slow and said, "oh, never mind then." I'm still laughing at him.

Post by: BT65 on March 05, 2008, 07:00:21 pm: Evening ladies:

Yes, when I got my labre done, the first night it came out when I was sleeping. Trust, getting it reopened with a needle was not pleasant at all. Next month I'll probably get my eyebrow redone. But that's gonna be about it, unless I get one of those tiny diamond things in my nose. Those are pretty cool.

Well, let's see, during my exciting day, I did laundry, went and paid the library the fines I owed them and checked out a couple books, went to my dr's to get a written script, and went to the drugstore to get it filled. Thrills, ay?

Our very own Jan called this evening and I talked to her for a few minutes. She is a lovely lady. I couldn't understand her at first (due to her accent) but it came to me. I think I might have been rude when she first called; I thought someone had gotten the wrong number. Jan, if I sounded rude, I apologize. Thanks for the call.

So mum, that video 'cured' your son of wanting a piercing, eh? Tee-hee. Actually, none of my piercings hurt. You just breathe in right before they stick you, and then breathe out as hard as you can when they put the piercing through. That pretty much took care of the pain for me. I wouldn't get my tongue, tits, or belly button pierced though. Too big a chance of infection for me. But people do what they want. I'm also thinking of getting another tattoo next month. Not sure yet. I don't know what I want, but it will probably be something Native American. They have some pretty cool designs.

Cristy, I'm glad you're not doing the cola or crack anymore. They will definitely lead to an end. I have a friend who was a crack addict. He would never give up the booze though and ended up back on crack. Within a month's time he lost 60 lbs and also lost the use of his right hand. I don't know whatever happened to him; we lost touch. He was on probation all during that time, so I kind of think he might have ended up back in jail. Which is probably the safest place for him to be if he's going to self-destruct.

I got one depo shot about a month ago, and right now I'm having my period. It's certainly not as heavy as it has been before. I'm hoping it will just go away after I get my 2nd depo shot.

Well ladies, I'm off to check out a few threads. I might check back in later. Have a good one girls-

I am still on my jam session. At the moment it's Sade, "Sweetest Taboo". I was all into blogging, started it,saved, wrote some more, forgot to save then my son came and erased what I wrote after the save....Ugh... I did get it finished but I liked it how I had it the first time. I think I got my point across either way.

Betty-- I think your period will prolly go after the second shot. I spotted for a few after the first one. That was nice that Jan called you. I wanted to mention her in my blog, Cindy too but since I didn't have their permission I couldn't. I was going to mention the lady with the alpacas but then folks might think she is some deranged crazy cat lady except alpacas...*tee hee*

I am getting hungry, I need to go scout the kitchen but I think I am going to be disappointed. I don't feel like cooking today at all. Did order out last night and don't want to do that again. I guess I will come up with something.

Queen - LOVE your picture. You're so pretty. How do we find your blog?

I got my 1st hole when I was 5. I don't remember it. I got my second in middle school. I don't remember much except it hurt like hell. I had all the girls' ears done when they were babies. I figured it would be easier that way. We got permission from Mini's PID before we did her's. My cousin worked at Claires and brought everything to our house and did it here. She never had a problem with infections or anything.

Got my laundry done. It took stinkin' all day and I've still got one load drying. My chest is all congested again. It feels like someone is sitting on it and I can't take a deep breath. It sucks!

Post by: MOONLIGHT1114 on March 05, 2008, 09:50:07 pm: "IN LIKE A LION, OUT LIKE A PIECE OF SHIT INSULIN PUMP"

Queen, you can mention me in your blog, but nothing bad because I am about to break right now. I am all fuzzy-wuzzy loopy-loo just like I was last May when I had the MRIs done (for dizziness) and they found nothing.

I saw my massuese tonight and she gave me 50 minutes for the price of 30, so I tipped her. I am going to go see my chiropractor tomorrow, first time since June.

My fucking insulin pump is covered but only at a $300 deductible and then 50% of $1035 = $518 every 3 months until the following year, and then you start over. >:( >:( So that means it would cost $1850 for that piece of shit pump. Yeah, "benefits" my lipo ass! I called my diabetic doc today and spoke with his nurse. I have to come off of the pump at the end of the month and go back to about 6 - 8 shots a day. I'll be on two insulins instead of one, so it will take some adjusting. I swear, I don't need any more shit! Everything would be much easier if my head would frikkin stay on my neck and stop bobbing around. I am dizzy and have vertigo all day, every day and its very bad when I am tired and run-down.

Mum~ I went to get my neck worked on today and then on the drive to my appt I get pains shooting in my left hip, like I used to awhile ago. My hip has been fine for months and now it has to go and hurt tonight. I think it may be sympathy pains for you, lol!

Sun, I had the exact same probs with my period and it was eventually two weeks on, two weeks off. This all started when I went on Sustiva in 2002. It affected the birth control pill's ability to work properly, bec my liver was so taxed by the Sustiva. I just went off of the pill last August after 19 years. Aunt Flo is circling over the runway as we speak, and I think her bony ass if finally coming in for landing. But don't hold your breath.

Its an Iceman weekend and I can't wait. I went to see him briefly after my massage tonight.

Sorry, GFs, I have SO much on my plate with this fatigue and dizziness, and now having to go off the pump at the end of the month. Its all very debilitating at times. I am so tired from being dizzy and having my ears ring all day. Hopefully my snap*crackle*pop tomorrow at the chiro will help. Oh and there is a max of $500 that the insurance company will pay for chiropractic care. Gheez! I have to pay 50% of each visit, too. What happened to a $20 copay or even a $40 one?

I am going straight to the poor house by trying to pay for my "BENEFITS," and this is with a PPO plan.

The next frikkin president better do something about this shit!

Hi BT ;D I'll be fine, I swear I will be. I will fall over first before I let this shit get me. :(

Hello to all of my GFs that I didn't mention, I can't even remember half of what I wanted to type. No sleep last night with the storms blowing in and waking me at 1230am and 430am, never mind the lack of oxygen to my blonde brain.

I am just trying to hold it all together, so forgive me. Miracle of miracles, my job is great and I don't even complain about the commute which takes over and hour each day to go 35 miles.

Pray for me.

~ Cindy

Are any of your b/f husbands HIV+ also, and if so are they on meds? My b/f is also on Atripla. I cant get any sex because when he takes it at night he's out like a light. He works day shift like myself. So that still leaves me horny as hell. What's a girl to do. (LOL) I have exhausted my bullet. It has just played out on me. Time for a new one. ;)

I don't know what made me post my pic, it is an old one though. I had posted it awhile ago but like it says either I'm being bold or stupid, not sure which one yet. But now you can see what I deal with when I do my braids. I keep saying I am going to take new pics but just haven't gotten around to it. I don't think I am very photogenic.

Cindy-- Sorry to hear you are going through it about now. You're a little late on the blog thing and I wanted to mention you so bad too. Get well soon but I know Ice will provide plenty of tlc for you. And what could I possibly say bad about you? You did get a mention in a sneaky way but you have to look for it.

Speaking of tlc, uh, Keeping maybe you should jump the bf before he takes the Atripla. I have a bullet too but you must wearing the hell out of yours. I am on my second one though.. ;D

Mum--- You can either do what Betty said to get to the blogs or for mine click on my link at the bottom of my sig line that says "The Royal Blog".

Who knows maybe I will get to meet you guys some day at an AMG or a Ya-Ya meeting. I know I would love it. I think Wishful is going to pay me a visit this summer, that'll be fun I'm sure.

I am going to get my license renewed tomorrow and after that I have to go back to Walmart because I just noticed the left speaker isn't working. Shit, it's still kicking with the right one though. Hopefully they will be able to trade me for another one, I kept my receipt. Have a good night ladies....

I've been up since about 5:00 a.m. I had the strangest dream....... I was in drug rehab with Keith Richards. :o Then when I got out, I went back to my parents'. And Joel (bear60) was there, and he rode his Harley up to see me. Now, I don't think Joel even owns a Harley. So I don't know what that dream was all about.

Cristy, I couldn't get a clear picture of what you looked like in that pic you posted, so if you have another one, please post it.

Cin, wow. You certainly have a shit load of stuff to deal with. I'm thinking of you, definitely, and sending positive vibes your way. I'm on two different Insulins. One long-acting (Lantus) and one for when my sugar gets too high (Humulin-R). I'm so sorry about your insurance. And I hope there's some relief soon from that dizziness. How's your BP?

Keeping, get a vibrator and watch a porno.

Queen, I have a subwoofer and two speakers on my pc. I love to listen to some jams turned way up; and my neighbors don't seem to mind (at least they haven't ever said anything about it). Right now I'm listening to Buddy Guy's 'Slippin out, Slippin in.' Don't know if you like the blues or not. I like all kinds of music.

It would be really cool if we could all get together some day. I would so love to meet all you ladies in person. Think of the hell we could raise. You ladies are definitely a big source of support. Don't know what I would do without you guys. :-*

Today, all I have to do is clean, get some water at Kroger's and my therapist comes over. That's about it for my thrill every moment day. I'll check back in a little later. Have a good one ladies-

Hubby has clients today. I'm trying to get all the kiddies dressed so we can make our weekly trekk to Walmart and the mall. It'll be interesting to say the least. I'm hoping to avoid any major crowds and just want to get in and out - with 6 kids and 3 grocery baskets :o.

Ok, obviously they are suddenly incapable of doing the smallest of tasks - getting dressd without killing each other! Oh, good greif, 1 has on shorts (it's 30F), another has on stripes and plaid, and 2 of them are wrestling over a shirt that doesn't belong to either one of them. Who needs TV? I've got all the drama of a soap opera, the laughs of comedy central, the action of WWF, and the thrill of reality TV right here under my roof.

Have a wondeful Thursday. BT - are you gonna try the support group tonight? Let us know how it went if you decide to go. Talk to you TBs later!

Mum

Post by: Queen Tokelove on March 06, 2008, 12:11:36 pm: Morning/Afternoon Ladies (since it is almost noon in like 5 minutes)---

Nothing going on with me today either other than renewing my license and going to Walmart. I'll be doing that around 6 this evening. For the moment, I am just chilling and listening to music on the subwoofer and one working speaker that I am taking back to Walmart. It still sounds good even for one speaker. And I am listening to some Brian McKnight. Make that Al B. Sure now..Night and Day. I love music and listen to all kinds except for country and metal(sorry Cindy).

LOL@MUM. I can imagine what you go through every morning. How you described it is hilarious. A small correction though, if you were saying WWF as in wrestling (which I know everything) then I must suggest you take the F out and replace it with an E, it is now called the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment). They had a court thing with the WWF(World Wildlife Federation or something) for those letters. Just a bit of trivia, I didn't expect you to know that, of course. Uh, well sorry my link isn't that big but I thought the purple would get people's attention and it does say the royal blog... ;) Now I am wondering what you actually thought it was...*LOL*

Betty, what the hell was you watching before bed? If it was anyone else I would say what was you smoking but I know the deal there. The dream sounds funny as hell to me. And Joel was in it, what was he doing? Maybe he was in drag? *hee hee*...Ooooh and if we all got together, OMG, and what if we had a few fellas with us like Aunty D, Thunter Bunny, Sharkie, Philly, and Benj....It would be a fucking riot. Forget a bar, how about a bbq at someone's house....The fun we could have... ;)

Well, folks, I am out of here. My soaps are going to be on soon and I neglected my game yesterday..I'll check back later...

Post by: minismom on March 06, 2008, 04:22:46 pm: WHEW! We made it home and I managed not to lose anybody - at least not on purpose. I forgot to take anything out of the freezer before we left so I asked the kids what they wanted for supper. Everyone yelled "pasketi and eatballs!" (spaghetti and meatballs). #2 led the crew in a theme song all through wal-mart "We eat eatballs!" They even gave it a snappy little tune. Got some dirty looks, so I just sang right along. If they can't get their minds from the gutter, not my problem or my issue. ;D Made them a sugar-free chocolate pudding pie with sugar-free whipped cream for dessert because they were good. *sticking a gold star on my forehead*

Anyway, we managed only a couple of meltdowns and only encountered a few idiots with stupid comments. They were lucky that hubby wasn't around. He usually takes the kids far away so I can rip into them - today I had to hold my tongue. >:( So, we'd just sing louder...and added a dance to go with it. Look out Paula - we may show up for the next "Idol" auditions.

That's all from here. BEAUTIFUL day...goes downhill from here. But, that's OK. For today, I'll enjoy the sun.

Queen: most mornings are really easy. I don't make them dress for school - they usually just stay in their jammies. Makes less laundry for me.

Post by: BT65 on March 06, 2008, 05:50:03 pm: Evening ladies:

Mum, I'm not going to that support group tonight. I'm kicking around going to an NA meeting. There's an excellent one not too far from me. I'm not sure if I'm going to that or not either. I usually wind-down in the evening and don't feel like going anywhere. It sounds like you had a very interesting time at Wal-Mart. If I was there, I woulda showed my tits :o. No, not really. At least, not when the kiddos could see me.

Queen, Joel had a geri-curl in the dream and was riding a nice Harley. I don't have any idea what that was all about. You know, if we ever did have the bbq, we would definitely also have to have the Damned One fly in. That would be so awesome.

Wishful, take that fucker for everything you can get outa him. ('baby daddy')

About the orgasm thing, it takes a lot (I mean a hell of a lot) for me to get off. A man (or lady) definitely has to work me right and over and over. And the kinkier, the nastier, the better. That's probably why I'm such a frequenter of xtube. I even checked out redtube and that's a good site also. I have to get some pornos to watch at home. I really don't want to download porn off the computer. After I have an orgasm though, I feel all is alright with the world-not revved up, not tired, just serene. Must be the release of all the hormones etc.

Nothing exciting going on. Today was freezing, but next week it's supposed to get into the 50's. I can feel spring in the air ladies! All I did today was to go get some cigs, went to Kroger to get some water (because Kroger water is always $3.99), and got some gas so I can go do my father's shopping tomorrow. (he lives a town north of here). His b.d. is coming up-he'll be 80. I got him some Fannie May chocolates, because those are his favorites. Nothing else to report. I might check in later. Have a good evening ladies-

Post by: Queen Tokelove on March 06, 2008, 07:45:03 pm: Evening Hoochies(j/k)----

Nothing glamorous happened today. After a few tech things, I found out nothing was wrong with my speaker after all. It was that son of mine, he turned the left speak down in the Windows Media which took the sound out of everything I played. I am going to choke him the next time I see him. I did manage to get out and get my driver's license renewed. I don't like the pic though, the guy made me laugh and I look like a chipmunk with a mouth full of nuts!!!! ( get your minds out of the gutter).

It looks like I may have a car running, just maybe but I'll talk about that later. I have to call and make an appointment at this other place for a therapist. Kevin called me twice today so I got my number changed. I was not trying to hear anymore of his lame excuses and I hope he doesn't try to show up at my crib. Two of the boy cats (lucifer and ziggy) started banging today. All you heard was loud meowing and fur flying literally.They were rolling all over the place and not letting go. I guess spring is in the air with them and they are fighting for dominance. They should know by now the only pussy in charge is me and my roomie...*LOL*

Tonight is a wrestling night so I need to run off to go take a nice hot bath and jam while soaking. Later chicas.

Post by: sunseeker on March 06, 2008, 09:54:23 pm: IN LIKE A LION, OUT LIKE A carpet full of cat piss

HI Girls

Nothing new to report. Hectic morning with the cat peeing on the carpet before I was trying to leave for my training class, which made me mad since I was stuck in traffic, and I had to clean up cat piss. He has not peed on the carpet before. I walked out of my room and there he was with his ass against the wall pissing away. He is picky about his litter box and will poop on the floor if he thinks its not clean enough. Keep in mind I change the litter with new litter once a week and I clean the box two - three times a day. On my way home I stopped at Target and got him a new litter box. I got really depressed when I tried on some bathing suite at that was depressing, I just could not seem to fine a cute bathing suite that will fit a cow.

OK girls now I need some advise. Whitey has asked me out again for Sunday. We have been talking every day on the phone. So I am wondering how long I should wait till I tell him that I am positive. Please know that I would tell him before we were intimate. We have only given each other a peck on the lips and I told him that I was really wanting to take things slow since I have my guard up since I have been cheated on before. He told me that his ex-wife cheated on him so he could understand why I have my guard up. So my question is when should I tell him. I am struggling with the fact that I know that he is starting to like me and I don't want to hurt him if he cannot take the fact that I am positive. But then on the other hand, should I even care if he cannot take it. My friend said that if he cannot take it after he gets to know me and starts falling for me then he would not be able to take it if I told him on the 2nd or 3rd date. I guess I am just so use to putting everyones feelings before mine. So what do you girls think I should do wait to see if things progress or tell him now before they do progress? I wish there was some rule book on this.

Post by: cjc on March 06, 2008, 10:41:19 pm: Hello ladies. I am home kinda early from work. Queen and Betty, If you have a BBQ, may I be invited please. I would love to be able to meet ya'll. Also, Betty, I will put another picture up(for a minute) but I don't think it is a very good one. Queen, glad you might have a car going. I know how hard it can be to have to rely on other or walk to get places. YAH!!!!! SS, I forget, do you work with this guy and/or have you known him for a while. I would wait a bit especially since you are going to tell him anyway before you are intimate. Just get to know him better first. I read you have your makeup tattooed on. That must make getting ready easier. Cindy, sorry you are having such a fucked up time with your pump and insurance. MINIsmum, you are a brave woman to venture out with 6 kids. I find just my Robert to be a handful and we walk around Walmart singing as well. If anyone doesn't like it, fuck 'em

Title: Re: Dating Thread Part XXII-In Like a Lion, Out Like a ___(fill in the blank)
Post by: Snowangel on March 06, 2008, 10:49:20 pm: Hello everyone-
Sun- My 2 cents- I would do it when you feel ready and comfortable. Try not to wait so long that you would feel a loss if he didn't take it well. If he doesn't take it well, it is him and his lack of knowledge, not you. Good Luck and keep us posted. HHHmmn. Nothing like cat piss to start your day off right. :-\

Queen- That would be great if you got your car running AND you got your speakers working. I finally got my hot water heater fixed after almost a year, my inspection sticker fixed and my remote car started fixed after 5 months so I am a happy girl. Kinda. That was a nice pic of you.

Betty- LOL! You are too funny. I have an inhouse lurker so I am not going to say a word....but you go girl. Glad someone besides Wish gets her groove on....when she gets it :)

Mum- Your comments remind me of the blog of that women that sold pokeman cards on ebay that her kids snuck into her grocery cart. Maybe you should start a blog too, she now has a book deal, might have a tv show and gets like 3 G's a month for her blog. She has 6 kids too but I doubt she can hold a candle to you. Your lucky your hubby is with you sometimes, I never get to say shit, because I am always alone. The staring drives me bonkers.....I think I am going to take some pictures of the kids, put thier names and ages, our address and that we accept donations since they seem to think we are some sideshow attraction.

Wish- As one of my sons would say, that must of hurt, alot, alot, alot. WOW! Down there. You must have a high tolerance for pain. A man and and his money. I don't know why that would amaze me, they expect to be able to do everything for nothing. Take him to the cleaners.

Moon- I don't know how you do it. I don't think I could drive if I felt like that and I certainly wouldn't be as well spoken as you are here, I hope you are feeling better.

Paulette- If you are checking us out. I have been thinking of you and I hope things are getting better for you.

Keep- My SO is on Atripla too. I think it makes him meaner, depressed.He gets tired too but he is not good about taking it at consistant times. I have trying to make him go back to the doc but it is like pulling teeth.

That would be so cool if we could find a central place for all of us to meet. The logistics would be hell but it might be worth a try. I have been thinking of putting something together for each of you but I would need everyones addresses. It's nothing big, just a necklace with 2 charms. Queen got me thinking ;) I'd like to show you all my appreciation but if it is not appropriate it I will understand.

Hi to everyone else I missed, I hope everyone is doing well.

Snow
Title: Re: Dating Thread Part XXII-In Like a Lion, Out Like a ___(fill in the blank)
Post by: sunseeker on March 06, 2008, 11:14:15 pm: Hi girls

Snow and Cjc- thanks for the advise. Now I am a little nervous since I was talking with Whitey just a few minutes ago and I was telling him about all of the drama that is going on with my friends. I told him that he was lucky because I do not have this much drama in my life, I just deal with with my friends drama. He then said that he does not have a lot of drama or problems and if he does he will sometimes just talk to his parents or his brother. So then I was thinking OMG if I do tell him that I am positive is he going to go discuss it with his family to get their opinion, and who in their right mind would tell their son or brother to be with someone who is positive. So now this has just sent me into a tail spin.

Snow I love the idea of all of us trying to meet some where. That would be so much fun. Maybe we should figure it out sooner or later so we can start saving and pick a date. I know that I will need to put in a vacation request in advance. So maybe we should take a poll and see where everyone lives and then try to figure out a central place. I live in California. You are so sweet to want make everyone a necklace, I would love for you to make me a necklace as long as you would let me cover the cost for the supplies and the mailing. So let me know if you are agreeable to that. I would wear it proudly.

CJC- you are a hot mama. I did not get to see your picture when you posted it the other day glad you posted again.
Title: Re: Dating Thread Part XXII-In Like a Lion, Out Like a ___(fill in the blank)
Post by: Snowangel on March 06, 2008, 11:31:11 pm: Sun-
You could let him know that this is something that you don't let just anyone know and since he mentioned that he talks to his brother and parents, you would appreciate it, if he didn't and offer to take him to your doc if he had any questions. Would that be an option?

CJC- That is a great pic! I don't have the balls to my pic up :)

Meeting would be fun wouldn't it. Sun, thats silly, I wanted to do as a gift, put the money towards your thingy your doing. I can't think of it, Special Olympics?

Post by: Queen Tokelove on March 06, 2008, 11:32:33 pm: Hmm, I don't know what it is but I have been feeling mighty happy lately even to the point of perkiness. I don't know if it is the celexa kicking in or that spring is right around the corner. I've been kind of happy go lucky, I don't know what it is about but hey I'll just roll with it. Or maybe it's something hormonal since I just got my depo shot a few days ago. I guess it's one of those things of why ask why.

Wishful---What in the hell made you get your clit pierced?!? My first thought would be the pain which would eventually go away but hell, it would be my luck if I had it done every other step I would be busting a nut.. :D If you're gonna drive up at the end of June then I will show my pitiful little hood. Girl, the hood rats are going to be hating cause for some reason people can figure out when you're not from here. I hope you're not allergic to cats... ;)

Snow--- I figured out the speaker problem and it sounds like my car will be getting towed somewhere to get fixed. My roomie's ex roomie whom I am cool with has done a little work to the car but can't figure out why it won't start. He in turn spoke with a friend of his that has blue prints to my car and I guess his friend said he would cut him a deal on the work. And whatever it comes up to I don't have to pay it all in full, I can make 2 payments. That works for me. The ex roomie knows how me and roomie struggle to get places plus he knows I have been trying to get it fixed for the longest. So hopefully by the beginning of summer picture me rolling.... ;) As for your dude and the Atripla making him mean, it may be the Sustiva affecting him. Has he considered other options? And as far as taking it the same time every day or night, well, honestly, I never do. I try to take it every night around midnight but sometimes have waited an hour or two later. But then my mindset is as long as I remember to take it, I am doing good because I know adherence is important. I don't mind you making me a necklace at all. Um, can it be something Pagan for the charms? Or a certain design? Let me know and I'll PM you some ideas.

Christy-- Now you know you don't have to ask to be invited. I would think everyone would be invited. If the idea could become a reality, it would just be a matter of when and where. Silly rabbit, you must've been puffing when you asked that question... :D

Sunseeker--- Disclosure is a tricky thing to really give advice on. You have already said that you would not be intimate without disclosing so to me that is half the battle. Timing is the thing and honestly, I couldn't tell you when you should disclose. If it was me considering I had just met him I would wait but that is just me. You have to do it when it feel right to YOU. I wish you luck with that because it seems like you are liking him as much as he is liking you.

I swear it seems like this week flew past. I have nothing to do tomorrow but make calls to give certain people my new number. My roomie has to go finish working on the house she started. I guess the finishing touches or whatever. That means another JAM SESSION for me.

I am off, I need to reach out and touch my bff. I think she has been feeling neglected. Well, not really because we have both been into our games and call each other when we take breaks....

Queen- My car has speaker problems too. I found out yesterday, I need to get some module changed for $400 so that my service engine soon light will go off and my stereo will unlock. Pain in my ass. I was going to do all our necklaces the same in honor of the ya ya but you can have whatever you like :) I was thinking of an affirmation circle charm with like strength or something on it and then the awareness charm, all in silver, so know one really knows what we are aware of ;D on a dog tag like chain cuz we are all fighters.
Perky is good. I like perky.

We, the fifth grade, have been getting ready for our big overnight field trip. We reenact the life of a 16th sailor. We stay the night on a tall ship...you know the ones with the masts and sails. It's a lot of fun. We role play for 2 weeks with the kids in "crews" and I get to be the Captain.. ;D You hear a lot of "Aye! Aye!s" This group has a difficult time following directions so we will see how it goes.

There sure is a lot of talk about O's. I am about to share something I have never before but I feel comfortable enough with you all...I have never had one w/my Mr. Wonderful, you know the ex who infected me. We are still involved and we do talk about it...someday I'll get there... :-\ I guess half the fun is the trying right...LOL

I would love to meet all of you! That would be really cool if we could make it happen. I am in southern CA

Thank you, Queen. Of course I was puffing and yes , it does make me silly sometimes. I would love to get together with any of you ladies but I will make sure I bring a fat bag for us smokers. Good luck with the car. Hope it happens soon. Thank you for the compliment, Sun. I don't really like that picture but that is me so I am used to it. Good luck with Whitey. I think you have received some good advice regarding disclosure, do it when YOU are ready. Vivyt, overnight trip on a boat with a bunch of 11 year olds. You are a brave woman.

Title: Re: Dating Thread Part XXII-In Like a Lion, Out Like a ___(fill in the blank)
Post by: BT65 on March 07, 2008, 07:42:24 am: Morning ladies:

Sun, disclosure is different for everyone. I don't have a problem with it, and I don't really know why. I guess I've just been through so much shit, that people knowing I have teh AIDS doesn't bother me. I understand people being apprehensive though. I think everyone knows when the time is right (or not). When (and if) you tell Whitey, just ask him to keep his trap shut about it. But anything he does once you disclose is beyond your control; you know that. What other people do (or don't do) we have no control over. I used to think I could control people, but that was just my ego.

Cristy, of course you would be invited! How could you think we would not invite you? I love your picture by the way. You're a very attractive young woman.

Snow, I think that would be sweet of you to make necklaces. I wish I could do stuff like that. Anyway, if you decide to make them, let me know and I'll pm you my address.

Queen, heh. I think the reason we're all feeling so happy is that spring is just around the corner. Next week it's supposed to be in the 50's here. I'm sooooo ready. Girl, I hope you do get your car fixed. It's such a bitch to be without one. Even though I've done it several times, once you've had one, it sucks to have to walk and/or ride the bus everywhere. And who can afford cabs all the time?

Wish, I suppose if I was still stripping/doing pornos I would consider getting my clit pierced. But, there's really no reason to do it now. Does it add to the sexual excitement? I've been with guys who use 'cock rings' and that really aids in the orgasm process.

Viv, I'm glad you got those damn report cards done. That fieldtrip sounds like it would be a blast. Hey, don't feel bad about not having an orgasm. It takes a long while worth of fucking/sucking for me to get there. Try spicing it up.

Last night I went to an NA meeting. There was a guy there who admitted it was his first meeting and he was experiencing some withdrawals. He had, I believe, his gf there for support. All the men in the meeting gave him their phone numbers and we all, of course, made him feel welcome. I've experienced what he was going through. Withdrawals are certainly a bitch. And at the meeting I saw an old friend (from NA) who's a biker. Did I mention that I used to ride around with a (former) biker club? They were called 'The Jokers.' But they got disbanded by the Hell's Henchman, who got disbanded by the Devil's Disciples, who got disbanded by the Hell's Angels. When I was hanging with The Jokers, it was during my drug days. I was fucking one of their members. He eventually went to prison in Florida, though, for cola dealing. Then, when I got into recovery (from drugs) I met some 'clean & sober' bikers. I went to one of their campouts and it was a blast. They did the usual things, the weeny bite, the wap-a-jap. I remember the main speaker. It was this huge, burly looking biker. When he was done telling his story, he sang 'Amazing Grace' acopello (sp).

I don't really have much else to report. I'm going to do my dad's shopping today and drop off his b.d. gift (he'll be 80 on 03/11). Then I might get together with a friend later & go to an Italian grill. I hope all you ladies have a great day & I'll check in later-

Post by: tendai on March 07, 2008, 07:47:08 am: wish - a ring on your coochie! oh my goshy gosh. saw that once in a porno. real brave u are. i'm not even comfortable being handled down there by my bf what more being pierced, they'd have to put me under general anaesthetic for that! Does the ring contribute to your multiple O's? ;D
my 18 YO brother has two tats, an bitten apple and a heart or something. and an earring in one of his Will Smith ears. I've only got my ears pierced and will never get tatooed thank you very much, i hate needles.

snow - i'd love a necklace though i doubt if it would get here if u posted it..oh well. Its a very sweet idea though.

Sun - maybe u could try disclosing to Whitey before you both get too attached. just in case he cant handle it u know, so it wont be too traumatic. and make him promise not to tell his family. i'm keeping my fingers crossed for you girl. hope it works out

And about O's. the last one i remember with a guy was years ago with the most delicious guy i'l ever have. it was just incredible though i didnt know what it was when it was happening. ever since then its just enjoying the ride and never quite reaching the destination.
Keepingfaith, i agree with Queen that you jump your man's bones before he takes the Atripla. else u guys wil be sneaking off work for a quickie one of these days. :D

Christy - thatsa a great picture!

Betty - how do these biker bands disband each other?

My "bf" explained his behaviour the other night. He said that he was making plans to leave the country and go to SOuth Africa or Namibia or something so he was running around looking for places to stash his property and stuff where he could be sure it wouldnt be stolen. ??? he says he's going for a week he says. i asked him why he cant just rent a room and lock it in there and he said it would get stolen. i dont know. he said he only started planning it all when he met me because he wanted to settle down now and all but i dont buy it because he's been 'homeless' ever since i've known him. i told him 'whatever man, we'll wait and see when and if u come back'. He's stil around though. he said he was going on wednesday. whatever. theres another little boy asking me out but i dont feel like doing all that again, please no!

i just had to share this picture. the wife's work. i wonder if the cheating dog's insurance paid for the damage :D

Post by: minismom on March 07, 2008, 09:24:36 am: Good morning my fellow TBs. 90% chance of rain today and 70% chance of snow tomorrow. After that, it looks like we're gonna get some sun for a few days. Still won't be very warm, but I'll take the sun - it's at least a step in the right directions. My irises are starting to come up. The darlings are about 3 inches tall. I have a big ol' list of stuff I need to do and another list of excuses as to why I "can't" do them. My parents invited us out to dinner tonight so I get a break from cooking. Not thrilled about the restaurant, but everyone else likes it and, hey, it's free.

Snow, that would be too funny! I'll make those sandwich board signs for each one to wear telling people their sizes and where they can drop off donations. ;D Hubby and I have talked about putting a cup and a sign in the middle of the table that says "Stares: $1.00, Stupid looks: $2, Questions: $5, Answers: $150." We have gotten free meals from restaurants because the wait-staff made retarded comments. One waitress even followed me into the bathroom and stood outside my stall apologizing for the dumb comment she made to hubby. I finally said, "Look, can we talk about this when I"m NOT peeing?"

Ok, I have to tell you this story. Not sure how appropriate it is, but, oh well. Ok, when our electricity goes out we have NOTHING. NO water, phone, stove, nothing. So, our electric was out for like 3 days because our co-op was arguing with the main supplier over who needed to fix the line that was down. Anyway, we were going out to eat and a friend of our's called. She has a son who is the same age as our oldest. So, it was me, her, hubby, and 7 kids walking into this restaurant. We could tell the waitress just really wanted to ask all manners of stupid questions but had done a wonderful job of holding her tongue. Well, she couldn't hold it any longer and asked the dreaded "which kid is which?" I couldn't help myself. I told her that they all belonged to all of us. That my friend and i were lovers and that hubby was our "guy". We kept him around to father our children and take care of them and the house. The 3 of us were in a total tri-nogomous relationship. The waitress turned ghost WHITE. i thought she was going to be ill. We just all smiled. Hubby just puffed out his chest and sat a little taller. The kids kept on eating. We still joke about it.

That's all for now. I need to get the laundry done and check the kids' work.

Mum

Post by: BT65 on March 07, 2008, 02:14:39 pm: Afternoon ladies,

Tendai, I'll say it again-dump his ass. I don't even personally know this guy, but I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw a cow.

Mum, I loved that story re you and your friend being lovers with hubby being the token 'man.' I wish I could've been there. That's priceless.

Well ladies, I went to my dad's, did his shopping and when I took the groceries back to his house, there was he was with his oxygen on and smoking. :o He does this all the time. I really don't think he realizes what he's doing. He needs a babysitter-seriously. His house was trashed, it's unsanitary. Of course the 'god' of the siblings holds the most weight when it comes to these matters, and I don't know how receptive to me suggesting anything. Of course, if she's not and things don't change, I can always withdraw from the situation. And no, I wouldn't have a problem doing that. I know, sounds awful. But hey, I gotta do what I gotta do.

I downloaded some songs this afternoon. I had to pay .99 a track for the ones I wanted. Some old Led Zeppelin. Now I just need to buy some discs and burn the songs. Then I can cancel the subscription I have with Napster. Their price just went up to $13/month. Way too much if you ask me.

Other than that, nothing else going on. I called a couple tattoo shops to see how much eyebrow piercings are & if they tatted HIV+ people. One place was $30, one $35. And they both said they didn't have a problem with working on someone who's poz. Actually, one of the shops has already done some work on me, but the artist is no longer there. So, at the end of this month/beginning of next month, I'm going to get my eyebrow re-done and get a tatt. Hopefully.

I hope Cin's doing alright. Everyone else have a good one-

Post by: minismom on March 07, 2008, 02:39:56 pm: BT - I think I'm following you around the forums. ::) I got the laundry done - just have to fold it all so the kids can put it away. I need to take a shower and bathe the kids before we leave to meet my parents. At present, my energy level is squat.

Snow - Hubby keeps telling me that I need to write a book. We started writing one called "Stupid things people say when they think your life is their business."

#5 and #6 are having a birthday party next Saturday so I'll be off and on trying to get things ready for it. Got some stuff done today, but still trying to plan it out. Nothing like waiting until the last minute to plan a party.

Everyone stay safe and tough. Moochies to all of you!

Mum

Post by: Queen Tokelove on March 07, 2008, 04:18:01 pm: Damn, hard to believe it was in the 60's just a few days ago and now we're getting hit with a foot of snow. I did my run so I don't have to go back out in this mess. I have some Arbor Mist still and just got delivered some green so I will just chill out today.

I think I need to get with Goderator Ann sometime soon. I would like to change my screen name on here. Why? Well, when I took on the name of Queen Akasha it was because I felt like I was damned besides my love for Ann Rice. I would still like to keep the title of Queen just change it to Queen Tokelove. Maybe she'll see this and let me know. If I can't then that's ok too, I guess.

Snow---Well, if all of us having the same necklace is part of our Ya- Ya ness then by all means go with your original idea. It would make it more special than something Pagan. When you're ready let me know and I will PM you my addy. Damn, 400 to fix your speakers? What size speakers are they and what kind of system. That sounds pricey to me but I guess it depends on what kind of Boom you got going on. I can't wait for the car to get fixed, it is smaller than my Caprice so it should be rocking. If I pulled over maybe I can play the hard of hearing defense... ;D

Betty--- Well if your one sib is suppose to be in charge of running the care taking of your father, it sure seems like she is doing a piss poor job. I agree, he needs a nurse or someone who can be there on a regular. Too bad you can't find someone to stay with him 24/7 because that lighting cigs with the oxygen around doesn't sound good at all. I was just telling my son today that I wanted another tatt. He is thinking of getting one too. Tomorrow he is getting his nails done, a manicure so he is going to take me to get my nails done. He said he wants me up early now if I get up early and he doesn't show, that's his ass next time I see him. He knows I am not a morning person. But then I guess it depends on how the roads are with this snow coming down.

Wishful--- You better than me, I'm not getting my clit or nipples pierced. It'd be my luck I would snag them on something and fall to my knees drooling like a baby... ;D And I can't believe your baby daddy is trying to get over and being a cop at that. He knows the courts is going to make his ass pay and take it right out his check. What a deadbeat!!!

Tendai---Girl, why are you even listening to dude's weak ass excuses? Kick his ass to the curb and quickly, you can do bad by yourself, you don't need help.

Viv--- Overnight on a ship with kids? I'm thinking you may have to sleep with one eye open... ;)

I hope Cindy is doing better. I am going into game mode.

First let me remember to say.....Win...Where are you?

I'm here, I'm here!

This week has been one of those everyone needs a piece of Mom week. Mom, I need a ride. Mom, can you take me to my appointment.
Mom, can you help me do laundry. Mom, can you pick my girlfriend up from school since it is sleeting. Mom, can you take me to work. Mom, can you pick me up from work. Mom, can you take me to the grocery store. Mom, can you take me to get my proof of residence. and on and on.

Aside from work I'm a regular free taxi cab.

Yesterday night I spent watching Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium and then Lost. And then lovin time....
I'm trying to get my son on track with his life and part of that is him actually holding a job. He finally got one but the training place is way too far for him to walk or ride his skateboard. I'm not rich enough to buy him a car and I'm fairly certain he'd get lost on a bus.
I still get lost in Dallas. Him and I have only been living in this area for about 4 years. We know the area we moved from very well but this area is better.
Our old neighborhood was pretty low rent compaired to this one.

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium is a good kid movie. It does deal with natural death so if you have a small child you'll likely get the why do people have to die question. Its a mostly feel good movie that explores the magic of imagination.

Cristy, of course you would be invited! How could you think we would not invite you? I love your picture by the way. You're a very attractive young woman.

Thank you for the compliment, Betty. Of course I know I'm invited, I was stoned and trying to be cute and ended up with whiny. Sounds like a hard situation with your dad and siblings. When my Grandmother had cancer my mom stayed with her for about 3 months straight, with only a couple days home the whole time. None of the other siblings would help. I was able to help keep her(my moms) house clean and dad fed but not much else. I worked at a strip club where bikers used to hang out. But I mostly had a boyfriend and didn't date but 1 of them. And he was too crazy for me. Bad temper, ex drama and he outweighed me by about 100 pounds so I let him go.. Snow, that's nice of you to want to make us necklaces. I used to make earrings but forgot how. Queen, have fun getting your nails done. I have been thinking about getting mine done. They look like shit and since I got a haircut and am wearing make up, maybe I will Monday. Not much going on here, waiting for dinner. Boiled shrimp and sausage and corn and fries. Wrote my oldest a letter today and talked to his lawyer. He is looking at about 2 years for probation violation and several more years for attempted armed robbery and larceny and some other shit. As much as I hate his dad, I have to admit, he seems to be trying to help. About fucking time, I say. I am done with them both but do like to know what's going on. I'll check in later. Cristy

Post by: Paulette on March 07, 2008, 08:20:45 pm: Hey ladies
I've been real busy lately with the girls softball pratices,
so we are talking about tattoos and piercings
well lets see I have 8 tats and i have four holes in L- ear, and six in R-ear, tongue, navel, clit done as well.
And i forget who asked But yes it does help with stimulation (but only if a guy knows what he's doing) ;D still need the nipples done, haven't done that yet.

Wish- I've had mine for ever 8 yrs and i can leave my hoop out for months and it goes right back in so i guess it depends on how long you've had it for. same with my navel ring i can go a year with out anything and put back in with no problems.
Mum- i hope you are getting better.
Ten- I thought you where getting rid of this guy (what happened?)

Well Ladies the tornado warning just went off I'll write more later,
Paulette

Post by: Snowangel on March 07, 2008, 11:07:42 pm: Mum-
That story is hysterical! You should carry around a camera just for those moments, so you can record the look on peoples faces when you make a smart ass reply to thier dumb ass comments. All our birthdays are in the last half of the year which kinda sucks because school is closed and no one is around :-\

Win- Talk about a bitch slap :) It always cracks me up when women hit like that. Part slap, part punch. Glad to hear you are doing well and out rolling! I can see why you still get lost. I don't know if the roads are like this where you are but in Ft. Worth we would be driving down the highway in the right lane and all of sudden drive off the exit without knowing it was coming up and then trying to get back on the highway was complete hell. It was kind of funny because it was all transportation people and we got lost at pretty much every turn.

Betty- My grandfather used to do that all the time with his oxygen, used to drive me nuts. He was an ornery old coot. I love being around elderly people who speak their mind cuz its usually hilarious. Do you know which design you are getting for the tattoo and where you are going to put it? I was thinking of putting one on the back of my neck cuz I have long hair and you would only see it when I wore my hair up. Has anyone got one there? Is the pain intolerable?

Tendai- Please tell me there is an x before the bf now! Complete shitbag. Was that pic for real, if so, I like her style, hit em where it hurts. Car, clothes and pocket and they cry like bitches. It would be worth the try, we send stuff off for ebay all over the world and haven't had any problems yet. Try masturbation during the act and you will be good to go :)

Wish- I hope your kids have a great B-day! I am still sitting here in shock that you AND Paulette have piercing down below.

Queen- My radio works fine when the dumb ass computer module doesn't f with it and lock it up. The computer module is the thing that needs to be replaced. The kids can still watch movies if they have the headphones on so I really don't care at this point. You get one thing fixed or done and something else always pops up....always. :-[

I went to the support group today, took my friend to the store to pick up a gift and brought my oldest to visit his father. He called me earlier in the week to tell me that he left his wife my first thought was to say and why the hell are you telling me? but I played it cool for my sons sake. It was kind of ironic because on the way down there he was like " Why can't people stay together?" because my father is seperated from his wife and so he is sad that he doesn't get to see her anymore. We were just driving into to where his father was so I couldn't really explain yet but I did tell him we could call my fathers wife and see if we could stop by to visit. Maybe we should just call.... I don't think she is wrapped to tight right about now. It is supposed to rain all weekend here, I think, so we are making a cake tomorrow, doing my daugters puzzle and making pencil holders out of yarn, tin can and glue. Happy. Happy. Joy. Joy. ;D
Sweet dreams,
Snow

Post by: BT65 on March 08, 2008, 05:24:26 am: Morning ladies:

I don't know what the hell I am doing up right now. I've been up for about an hour and didn't go to bed until a little after midnight. I have a friend staying the weekend and we were both trying to sleep on my queen size inflatable air mattress. Well, I have very bad bones, and my apartment isn't big enough for the whole thing to inflate. Needless to say, I was up and down all during the night. He is, of course, still out like a light. I'm trying to drink some coffee. I have a bad cold also, stuffy nose, coughing shit up. I've had that for about a week now. I think I caught something at the convention I went to last weekend. I was around a lot of people.

Queen, I hope you get your nails done today. I haven't had mine done in like 10 years. It was cold out here yesterday, frigid. Today it's supposed to be cold again; then next week it's supposed to be in the 50's. I am so ready. I can't take all this coldness much more. How I wish I lived in Hawaii. Yeah, my dad smokes when he has the oxygen on and in his nose. I'm waiting for a call about him burning his face badly. My oldest sib wants all the glory, none of the gore if you know what I mean. None of the hard work, just all the power. To be honest, I'm about ready to call it quits.

Mum and Wish, happy birthday to your kids! Give them all hugs for me.

Wendy, heh. Good video.

Cristy, at the hole in the wall I used to strip and trick at, all the degenerates came out, believe. Not many bikers ever came in there though. I did bartender for a biker club before though. I'm glad your son's dad is trying to do something to help your son. About time, eh.

Snow, what support group are you going to again? I'm sorry, I can't remember-happens when you get old.

Paullette, wow. I would never have figured that you would have your clit pierced. Somehow, I pictured you as this bible-clenching woman. You go girl.

OK ladies, I hope this guy wakes up soon. Then I might be able to have a shot at sleeping in my own bed. He'll be here the weekend though, so I might not get too much more sleep, at least for awhile. That's alright; suck it up and go on, I say. I'll check in later or tomorrow-
Title: Re: Dating Thread Part XXII-In Like a Lion, Out Like a ___(fill in the blank)
Post by: Dragonette on March 08, 2008, 06:07:07 am: Hey gang,

It's just you & me in the house Betty... I have given up trying to share beds, or even rooms. me & the BF sleep at seperate sides of the house. I'm glad you didnt drop school altogether, and about the convention, and the Native American guy - sounds very appealing.

Paulette, I haven't posted much but I have been checking. It's so nice to see you around. I'm surprised about all the piercings too. I haven't pierced anything except the hell out of my ears (11 & 14 in each and I have small ears) and 2 holes on the side of my nose that are already blocked. My wildest days were before the piercing boom. I do like the lip piercings though but I won't do it. As for nipples etc, yikes! I have tattoes, but my relationship with them is a tad complex - I hate em. Not b/c I don't like tatts, I do, but because of the trouble they cause me in my daily life, work, etc.

I missed you guys and was snooping around whenever I could. Betty, Tendai, thanks for asking about me. Tendai, I wish I could advise you something on your guy, but things are so complicated your side of the world. It may all be completely true, and it may not. It's so tough, you will have to just play it by ear.

Cindy, so sorry about all the health problems, I have my share of RSI but this is worse. Hope you unwind some (literally) during the weekend.

Wendy, a very belated congrats on becoming a very young grandma.

Queen, Sun, Snow, Keeping, Camms, Viv, Cristy, Cheetara, Minismom, and anyone else I missed, big hug from the Netherlands. I wish I could fly you all here so we can meet somewhere cosy and those of you who toke could toke away and we would all talk into the night, that would be so cool. All we need is, like, 20,000$ to set that up. If any generous sponsor happens to be reading, here's a worthy cause. I just enjoy reading you guys. I learn a lot.

I have been away at home (aka the holly land) with BF, or should I say fiance ;D ;D I'm still waiting for the ring though but he has dropped the question when we came back here. It was a beautiful holiday, but very emotional. a lot of shit happened at work before which did my head in and spoiled the beginning of the holiday, tilll I said: no more. I am working slowly on changing my reaction to things.

I have stayed away a bit from the forums, b/c they are so intense, and I dont know what to say. People (the women, and in general) here face so many challenges, that my own are dwarfed in comparison. Do you know that feeling? But then again I do have to deal with a lot myself, I just wished everyone was closer. I had to start working on my real life relationships and I am trying to do that, as well as take care of my stress injury but not spending too long on computers. so I guess I will be more passive from now on. time will tell...

Its me in the picture, with my dog who died a year later when she was 19... it was like she was hanging around to see me through. that pic was taken just under 2 years ago. I had been diagnosed 4 months earlier, and my health was pretty frail, but I was a hell of a lot thinner and tanner than I am now, that's for sure. Oh yeah and my hairs not that color, or texture, anymore. In short, I'm like one of those people on dating sites who put up their highschool yearbook portrait :D

Nevertheless, however unrecognizable, its the first time I put an image to my "name" that is not some boring beachscape.

Have a great weekend ladies,
Hugs & the bestest wishes

i went back on cos i forgot to say something, Cindy, I didnt quite get the details but only the bottom line about you having to pay for the insulin pump, I dont understand the system over there, same as with Dan. i dont get it, but it makes me furious, its fucked up. i know thats not really constructive what i'm saying here, but i am really dead angry, theres so much of that crap going on. its atrocious. i know a rant isnt helpful but everytimes someone speaks here about switching the health system to the American model (they've started already by privatizing the state health insurance a couple years ago and pulling scams with the policies by changing them around so you get less for what you pay each year) i just explode. what fucking "model"?!

Post by: vivyt on March 08, 2008, 10:52:10 am: Paulette-You wild thing you! LOL! Never would have imagined those piercings. I only have two in each ear but I do want to get a tattoo. I have a rebellious streak in me but the part that wants to follow the rules takes over. My 18 year old sister tells me I need to do what I want and not listen to people...from the mouths of babes!

Everyone is posting there picture...I am still afraid of who might find out about me. Only my family knows. I am not quite "out there" yet.

Nothing is going on here. I have to give Vivian (my doggie) a bath, do laundry, grade papers, etc. The ex is pulling his disappearing act again. I'm so over it...

Have a good day everyone! :) :) :)

Post by: MOONLIGHT1114 on March 08, 2008, 12:33:39 pm: Oh goodness, just caught up on the posts from a few days.

BT, my BP is usu 120/70, it was a cool 110/60 the other night after a relaxing drive to the chiropractor's. The chiro has a new technique that she used on me (grastontechnique.com) and I felt wonderful 5 minutes later. The ears are still ringing, but the visit was only $25. This means I can go for 40 weeks 1x a week, until benefits are exhausted. Chiro and massage therapy should help me through this.

Drag, I am VERY pissed about these new "benefits." Things have really gotten much worse here over the past 3-4 years. Most things on my plan are only covered at 50%, where back in the day it was a $20 copay. 50% adds up fast! Love your pic! You should also post that close-up of you in the pub from when you were on vacation, you look awesome!

Mum, your stories are GREAT! I love hearing about the kids. I can picture if you had started singing "We Are Family" or something in the store. LOL And the 3-parents 7-kids deal at the restaurant? OMG, I needed a good giggle! Hee-hee.

Ice is doing work today. He's here but we aren't really interacting. I need to go jump his bones now.

Queen, I need to read your blog, too. Oh goodness, I am so tired today. I needed my rest last night though.

Oh, and I get plenty of "O's" and I have no tats or piercings, just my ears. Call me a "natural" girl, lol.

Forgot to add, SUN, I would go on one more date, and neck the hell outta him. ;) Then next weekend tell him BEFORE you guys get too close. I have gone through the same thing before, talking to a guy on the phone every day and going on a few dates. After disclosure some really do a 180. I hate to be a downer, but just be tough. Remember that every experience with disclosure helps with self-acceptance, and will eventually get you to the place you want to be with relationships in your life. Its just a long process sometimes. Best of luck to you, sweetie. And who knows? Maybe he has something to share as well, just like my Iceman did. :-*

More soon! Love you GFs!

Post by: BT65 on March 08, 2008, 07:21:13 pm: Evening ladies:

Just a quick post, because I have a visitor from out-of-town staying tonight.

OK, I've pm'd Death Squad about posting in this, the women's forum. Really, people should read the welcome threads in these forums before posting. We'll let you get away with it just this once.

Cin, I hope you get rest the remainder of the weekend.

Keeping, I see no picture either. Try again girlie. :)

Nothing exciting going on. My visitor made me dinner tonight. We kind of mulled around town. He has never been to South Bend. I was going to show him where Notre Dame is, but didn't get to it.

OK Queen, are you still getting your nails done? I'm wondering where you've been today.

The rest of you ladies, have a good one. I'll catch up later tomorrow-

Post by: MOONLIGHT1114 on March 08, 2008, 11:16:05 pm: Read your blog, Queen, great thoughts that you post, as usual. :)

I have spent the entire day hanging out and relaxing with Iceman. I was fine until about 930pm or so. My back is achy and I am really hungry. I ate, my sugars are good, but an intestinal bug has been going around the office. One girl was out all of last week, another W - F.

I hope its just my damn iron pill making me feel weird. LOL I'm calling it a night.

Sleep tight, GFs.

That reminds me, I might want to take down the pictures of my lipo gut and stretch marks LOL

Modified to include after above post info
Well apparently I am not able to modify the post with my belly picture. So unless someone with higher ability than me takes it off I'll be showing my gutts and all of its flaws forever. LOL

Post by: cjc on March 09, 2008, 01:35:21 pm: Hello ladies. Keepingfaith,you are beautiful. I like your pictures. I do the same thing, put up a picture for a minute, then take it down a couple hours later. Winiroo, there is a time limit for editing messages. I'm not sure what it is but only a couple days, I think. You are beautiful as well, stretchmarks , belly and all. I see the same belly when I look in the mirror so don't feel alone. Very lazy day for me. We have the house to ourselves and I am happily stoned and playing on the computer. Robert is watching Stuart Little. When I went out to light up(No weed smoking in the house) the sun was out but it is still cold. We might walk down to the pond in a hour or 2. We had Roast and veggies for lunch, then I had strawberries and melted chocolate. More of that later. Meantime, laundry calls. Later, Cristy

Post by: BT65 on March 09, 2008, 02:49:50 pm: Good afternoon ladies:

Well, a little concerned that we've not heard from Queen. However, I read in another thread that in her area, they got like 21 inches of snow. So, she could be snowed in somewhere.

I had a weekend guest. It was very nice. Yesterday we went to a pawn shop (he plays guitar and wanted to check out the ones here, as he's from out of town), to the library because I wanted to see if they had 'Led Zeppelin-The Song Remains the Same' (which they didn't), and to the store to get the things he needed to cook me dinner with. So it was a nice weekend. Tonight my brother comes over so we can see the finale of (oh yes, bitches) 'The Wire.'

Cin, I'm getting a little concerned about you. You just seem to be feeling worse and worse. I do hope something breaks for you soon.

Cristy, roast and veggies sound so good. I'm starving right now, but I'm sure it's because I'm tired.

Well ladies, not much else to report. It's freezing outside and spring's a'comin!

Post by: MOONLIGHT1114 on March 09, 2008, 03:21:45 pm: Nice to see pics of you, Keeping Faith. :)

Cristy, its cold and clear here, too. Ice goe s to see his 12yo play soccer in a little while. Its 34 degrees or something. I wish we had snow, Maryland got jipped on snow this year. Its usu all or nothing, and we've got "nothing."

BT, I'm feeling a little better today. I don't feel too sick, but I feel a little "off." Ice made us turkey wraps and chicken noodle for lunch, I'm eating things that are light in case that bug is trying to creep up on me. I'm ok for the most part, but I wish my ears would stop ringing. It should lessen some after a few more trips to the chiropractor. I have mt massage Tues and chiro Weds this week. Ice is going to come over Weds night to stay with me. Next weekend he has his girls and then the following weekend is Easter. He is going to be with my family for brunch, so that should be nice.

More soon. :)

Betty- I can't wait to see the Wire tonight, I can't wait to see how it turns out.

keeping- Nice pics! You have a beautiful smile!

I need a nap. Does anyone take fish oil? I just started it and I was just wondering if anyone else has been on it for a while.
Thanks,
Snow

Post by: Winiroo on March 09, 2008, 10:22:15 pm: Thank you Cristy. :)

Cindy my ears have been ringing since the 80's. They ring all day everyday. I didnt think there was anything I could do for it.
I sleep with a fan running so I dont hear it and I've just learned to ignore it the rest of the time.
I did my internship at a chiropractors office. Dated the masseur breifly. The free massages where nice but thats about it. LOL

It was nice weather wise here today. In the 70's. Freaky ass Texas weather. It snowed a couple of days ago. Its supposed to rain off and on the rest of the week and its not supposed to go below 45. April showers are coming early and old man winter is hanging on by his nails.

Snow - I likely should take fish oil because I dont eat fish of any sort. One of my food phobias. I do take a multivitamin called Stress tabs or something like that. It has 500% of my daily vitamin C and 200% of B12. It doesnt have enough calcium only 2% or iron 22%. But I havent had any trouble with it upseting my stomach. Which is a plus.
I'll take this till the bottle is empty then look at other kinds and see if there is another with high vitamin C and B12. Or I could always add calcium and iron pills to what I already take.
Do you burp fishy or have any fishy taste when you take the fish oil capsules?

Sorry I'm rambling. I took some pain pills and I get chatty when I take them.

Post by: Snowangel on March 09, 2008, 11:11:20 pm: Hi Win-
No fishy burps yet ;D the guy in GNC said they were supposed to be for overall health. I just started them like 2 days ago and I am not sure if that is what giving diarrhea or the Atripla. We also got some chewable vitamin C that the kids could take and they taste like sour candy. Yummy.

The sun was out here today but it was chilly. The kids stayed inside all day. My Mom and Dad picked up my older son for me and brought him home so all I had to do was go to the grocery store.

Hope everybody has a good Monday!

Post by: Winiroo on March 09, 2008, 11:19:48 pm: I googled it and got this link for more info.

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/fish-oil/NS_patient-fishoil (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/fish-oil/NS_patient-fishoil)

Gastrointestinal symptoms : Gastrointestinal upset is common with the use of fish oil supplements, occurring in up to 5 percent of patients in clinical trials, with nausea in up to 1.5 percent of patients (15; 25; 205; 244; 248; 8). Diarrhea may also occur, with potentially severe diarrhea at very high doses (249). There are also reports of increased burping (205), acid reflux/heartburn/indigestion (250), abdominal bloating (248), and abdominal pain (97). Fishy aftertaste is a common effect (248; 205). Gastrointestinal side effects can be minimized if fish oils are taken with meals and if doses are started low and gradually increased.

Post by: BT65 on March 10, 2008, 08:12:11 am: Morning ladies:

Nothing exciting happening. I fell asleep during 'The Wire' last night. Twice. So I'm going to have to watch it today.

Keeping, I forgot to tell you those were really nice pics of you.

Cin, I've had a cold since the day after I got home from the convention. It started out as a sore throat, then moved into sinuses/chest. I know it's a virus, but damn, I wish it would go away already. I haven't seen a chiropracter in years. Or a massage therapist. Medicare doesn't pay for such things. I hope they help you.

Snow, I don't take fish oil, but I really should. I have high triglycerides (which is normal for diabetics) and fish oil is supposed to help those. I know a few people who take it for that reason and claim it helps. I'll talk to my doctor about it. Let me know how it works for you. I'm assuming you're taking it for cholesterol/triglyceride reasons as well?

Wendy, when I used to take pain pills, I would get a surge of energy. Are you doing alright?

Well, hopefully we'll hear from our Queen today. She probably got snowed in somewhere; I'm hoping that's all it is.

I've been having a little problem with something. My 'addictive' nature has been surfacing in another area of my life, which has nothing to do with drugs, but everything to do with addiction. I'm not going to say right now exactly what it is, in case other people check these boards out; wouldn't want this to turn into something it's not met to be. Let's just say it started again at the NA convention I went to, if you ladies get my drift. I know if I indulged in it, it could turn into something destructive. It's just really damn hard not to. And given my background, it would be easy to slip back into. I guess I'll have to up my meeting attendance.

Ok ladies, have a great morning. I'll check back in later.

Post by: vivyt on March 10, 2008, 08:35:04 am: Good morning!

Well I did not get much sleep last night. I kept worrying something would happen with the clock, you know with the time change and all. I already set my clocks but I always think it won't work. I even set multiple alarms for fear they won't go off and I check them multiple times before I go to bed...I know sounds a little OCD-I always say I am borderline LOL!

Moon: I hope you feel better soon!
Betty: Take care of yourself and be careful
Win: I have no idea how you get all those animations and then how you use them. Let's just say I am technologically challenged!
Queen: Why do you want to change your name?
Christy: Where do you live?
If there is anyone else I did not mention, have a great day!

Well this week is parent conference week...YUCK! It is so draining! To top it off I have some kind of cold or something that has settled in my chest. This Friday is also our overnight trip. It is a very fun trip but exhausting...I just have to make to Saturday... ;D I can do it!

Talk to you all soon!

Oh...I see that it is time to start a new thread. I would start it but I have no idea how to...
Title: Re: Dating Thread Part XXII-In Like a Lion, Out Like a ___(fill in the blank)
Post by: BT65 on March 10, 2008, 09:23:33 am: Well, I started the this one. So someone else is going to have to take on the task with a new one. We really don't have to keep starting one when one reaches 2 pages.
Title: Re: Dating Thread Part XXII-In Like a Lion, Out Like a ___(fill in the blank)
Post by: Snowangel on March 10, 2008, 09:41:28 am: Morning Everyone-
Time is just flying, it seems like this thread just started.

Betty-I think ,I get your drift. Good idea to go to more meetings. My therapist suggested that I find an Al-anon meeting to go to. I am not sure if I would be comfortable in one of those because a lot of actions in the past have been based on my HIV status. I will let you know how the fish oil goes. I think you will like the Wire, I won't say anything since you didn't see the whole thing. I hope you get rid of your virsu soon.

Viv- I hope you have a good week with the parent conferences and that whatever is going on in your chest goes away by the weekend. I do the same thing when the clocks change so don't feel bad.

I got to clean today :-[ YeHAH!

Have a ;D day!
Snow
