hi Liz, thank you for posting........

Quote From: lonalea200

I don't mean to be mean, but do you know how many times I have heard this.? I have lost all hope.  people say, hang in there, don't give up, things will change. And you know what...they don't. My life sucks and it always has and always will. I am ugly, never had a partner, never will. No children, except my cat. I was sexually abused all my life,  and just plain not worth the time of day. I am not making any excuses for myself any more. This is my life and this is how it is. Nothing is going to change unless I close my eyes forever. That is the only way to make a new beginning. 

Liz  

it is as if i wrote it. i too am tired of hearing it all. i am ugly an will never have kids or never marry and it is just me and my cats and any other pets i will have in the future. i am just hanging around here for my mom.brother and grandma and my pets. they need me but i dont want to be alive and i havnt for a very long time. and the more family that dies the closer to my day that i cant go too...........i am just going through the steps and thats it wait for when i can go see all of my family and pets that are in heaven waiting for me to be with them...... i sure hate it here on this world........i am hugely fat and very ugly................tama

I meant to mention yesterday that was NATIONAL HUG DAY (I think) I heard on radio.

Quote From: curly_1

I hope that Sue is OK too, She is missed and 4ever29......

Me too. Hmmmm.... When I looked online just now said National Hug Day is another day... Maybe there is more than one National Hug day. I think researchers say that we need eight hugs a day. I think it was 29 that first posted Max Ehrmann Desiderata and why when woman offered to me FREE special...like my growing duck and elephant yard sale collection. Elephant yesterday was FREE. I forgot to post at beginning that at top of Desiderata framed print, woman gave me from garage sale, she said from Saint Peters in London, in bigger print says: GO PLACIDLY ((((HUGs))) xoxox

HUGS

It's wonderous what a hug can do
A hug can cheer you when you're blue
A hug can say "I love you so"
or, "Gee, I hate to see you go".
A hug is "Welcome back again"
and "great to see you"
or "Where've you been?"
A hug can soothe a childs pain
and bring a rainbow after the rain.
The hug, there's just no doubt about it
We scarcely could survive without it.
A hug delights and warms and charms
It must be why God gave us arms.
No need to fret about the store of 'em
The more you give,
the more there are of 'em.
So stretch those arms without delay
And give someone a hug today.

Thank you amica67

Quote From: amica67

 I realy did have a blessed day, to day. I whent with my youngest kids to a children pool we have in the park. It was realy nice. And the kids was in the water all the day. The summer have come at last here in Sweden. So now its allmoste to hot weather. But hey whos complaining?! I love to take the kids out so they can play in the sun.

I only hope that your day has been as good as mine have. And now Im going to make pancakes for the kids. And sitt with my husband and just take it slow this evening.( Eventhoe he is just sitting and watching football that I just hate watching ha ha).But its okey! I wish you a great and lovely evening.

Hugs amica67!
Pool at the park you mentioned reminds me of three Mimosa trees in our front yard and days of walking two blocks to Andrews Park to play in the wading pool that you can see, if you go to link below, in photo behind two stone structures that were the boy's and girl's dressing rooms for swimming. One nearest to front of picture was the girl's and to right (in front of) is wading pool. WE LIVED IN THAT POOL IN THE SUMMERS' until we outgrew. Just thinking about I can smell the wading pool water and feel the coolness as pool was beneath tall Sycamore trees. Pool nearby the outdoor Amphitheatre...that was made of stone steps and walls with rows of half circled concrete benches.

Sounds like a fun day and pancakes sound yummy and a slow evening next to husband sounds relaxing. Like you, I don't care for football either though. Thanks and I am planning on a great and lovely evening and wish you sweet dreams. Hugs and prayers, SEA

GOD PLEASE REPLY
Prayed by SEA

If ever you reach out in word
And feel like no one heard
To me each message that I see
Are like prayers rising up to Thee

After you left with all your tears
Combined with all your haunting fears
People stopped to read words you left
Sending prayers for you to be blessed

Parting prayers prayed to help you some
So you feel uplifted when here you come
And when no one knows what to say
Now and then know for you many pray

Thus if after you bare your soul
You feel no one heard... not one soul
I wanted you to know we stopped by
Said a prayer for you signed please reply


You always know what to say and I could use some help.  My son just can't get it together .  He still tells me he wants to join the army, but screws up just before  he can enlist.  He still doesn't have a job.  I am at my wits end.  I don't know what to do.  I'm ready to take him to a shelter and leave him.   

I don't have cable tv just basic chanels.  I've talked to my priest, he sits and lets me talk and cry then says I need to pray more.  I don't think any one is listening.

I hear you. "Dear Lord, please send your angels and saints divine intervention through those who are able to help this member, leejay, and leejay's son." I just get the basic channels too and do not have cable. What sort of help do you think would help? Any ideas? I'm thinking about too as are others who hear your through the words of this post.

So we all know what Dr. Phil says if we can name it....

You can change it... oopsies... I mean we can change it. Okay, now does that mean we all have to come over and help clean or that you are going to make like a bunny and hop to it. A bit of a long drive so you better hop to it Tama so your mother doesn't worry about you... That's a GREAT way to help your mom by "doing your job". I don't expect you to post you feel like it... Just hop to it Tama... Who was it that posted that 15 minute cleaning idea... Hop up and clean 15 minutes...even time yourself... Then, in a bit do 15 minutes more. Then, pretty soon done. Oh well, one member said helps. There is nothing worse to add to depression than a house that needs to be cleaned and laundry to be done yet oh what a grand feeling when done. Speaking of that there's a few things I need to do too. I'll see you later Tama as I am going to make like a tree and leave to attend to a few things here... (((HUGs)))
