Hi Laurie

Quote From: lauriej

I would still like to know what you think about setting boundaries and what works for you. It is great to have a general idea about boundaries but something a little more would be helpful. This is something that I know I really need to do and something that I want to start right away. Alot of problems with everyone is that I let them cross the boundaries, even with the kids and picking up their things because it is easier to just let it go than to fight with them all the time. 

  

Laurie 

The posts I saw of your's asking about boundaries are still up and where you asked where I found information. You can search for boundaries and related subjects in white search box in UPPER right. Sounds like you just answered here though that you draw boundaries yet don't consistently enforce. A college student was telling me, "You know how everyone doesn't do things trying to hold out until someone else does...like chores." I said, "No, I have always thought if someone didn't do chores it was not deliberately and had a really good reason (not enough time etc.)." However, you make time and so your kids can make time. A professor I was assistant to said it is called, "Planned Incompentency." Not doing or not doing well so someone else will do for them such as your picking up after your kids. Who doesn't want a maid? A show I saw, an expert said it is good to get family chore list and game plan in writing so everyone knows what is expected of them and put where every can see what is expected of them everyday. That most people do want to help and are more apt to remember if written down and in a visible place. Oh well, if same posts I saw of your's about boundaries...still up. Not being consistent causes resentment and chaos the expert said. Person who goes on and does it resents it and when gets fed up and demands help those who enjoyed not helping resent losing their maid (freedom etc.) and it becomes a see saw of emotions. What do you think? Hugs and prayers, SEA

I think Lynn and I have watched King of Queens a few times.

Quote From: ppopps

I did watch the show last night.  It was funny, but some folks sure embarrased themselves.  Another show I laugh with is King of Queens.  Thanks for thinking of me.  Lots o love back at ya.  ggma
We laugh every time we watch. I didn't like the talent show on ABC tonight. I did my elliptical glider today. Oh, my periwinkles are looking so pretty. I highly recomment multi-color periwinkle hanging basket you can get at Home Depot and Lowe's etc. for those horticulturally challenged like myself. I don't have mine hanging and by angel on front porch. Periwinkles are so easy to care for and just grow and grow and grow and such pretty dainty little flowers. Begonias and Petunias grow like crazy too. Well, I just had a flash missing my mom a lot as she had such a green thumb and the prettiest porch of flowers and wind chimes. Gosh I miss her and dad. Lots of love to you too ggma. Did you get your scarfs done? (((HUGs))) YYC

Amazing Grace...I looked up and just like you said.

Quote From: djmatt

My wife gave me an article out of a magazine a few weeks ago about the pain loop.  And that's what it was all about.  All the chemicals and medications had my body locked into a huge loop of pain and it took going through total hell to get beyond it.   But thank God, I am done with it.  

   

She has been telling me that if I could get off of all these medications I would probably feel a lot better.  I agreed with her, but it was hard to do, but God forced me to do it because I begged him to heal my pain.  So anyone who does not belive in prayers, you better believe.  

   

I appreciate your concern.  I realized that we have more power over our bodies than we realize, and sometimes it takes extreme suffering to get over this pain loop.   

   

I have great news!  As we all know, God does answer prayers! AMEN!   

    

I have been going through the worst physical pains and withdrawal symptoms of my entire life.  But on Monday I got down on my knees and prayed!  I prayed that God would release me from these demons of pains and suffering, and I asked God to show the way!   

    

I asked God to heal me and make me whole!    

    

GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS!     

    

    

I am healed!  By chance, I stopped taking the Tramadol HCL or Ultram because it was hurting my stomach.  As soon as it wore off, my neck and back pains went away like magic!  I wondered if this was coincidental.   

    

I asked my pharmacist if Tramadol HCL causes pain and/or muscle tightness.  He looked it up and said that indeed it does!  He handed me the pamphlet that comes with the medication and told me to show it to my doctors.  It clearly states that Tramadol HCL causes HYPERTONIA, which is severe muscle tightness.    

    

The printout that comes with the medication does NOT indicate that it causes Hypertonia.  But the doctors should have known.  This has been my chief complaint for 5 to 6 years!  The fact that I had severe muscle tightness in my neck, back, torso, arms, jaws, I had speech impediments.  It was all being caused by the Tramadol.  I am almost over the withdrawals of the medications, but I am still experiencing what I call after shocks,  off and on episodes of the affects of the withdrawals.   But I feel better today than I have in years.   

    

Thanks for the prayers.  GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS!

I never had pain in my neck until jerked up during an allergic reaction to aspirin and since 2002, can no longer sleep on my back because of resulting neck injury (or exacerbation of possible underlying neck injury from a car wreck). That's just a guess. Never diagnosed with a neck injury prior so just saying could be. However, just like if when someone assaults someone with a heart condition that person has a heart attack if exacerbating an injury in someone...person who exacerbates is responsible. The reason I was jerked up was because I happen to notice that not only was I prescribed a medication I was allergic to yet offered medication allergic to in ER too. ER Supervisor panicked not realizing Lynn was with me. Lynn told him off and the State cited ER yet the State said I should have called the police on ER Supervisor. You just don't think to call the police on an ER Supervisor. Plus, I didn't know symptoms I had after leaving ER a neck injury until a doctor said so later. I was concerned if I complained and ever had to go back there'd be a grudge since it is said medical profession cover for each other. I guess I had watched too many Dateline shows. Not to mention having an allergic reaction to aspirin in progress not diagnosed while I was in the ER. It wasn't until a Wal Mart pharmacist was writing down all my allergies when I got my first perscription there, after ER visit, that he said the common denominator in many of my allergies was the ingredient of aspirin. That's why i am always saying if something doesn't feel right...ask your pharmacist too. Pharmacists are supposed to be the most up-to-date on medications. Second link is main link to check medications and first link is for Tramadol. Hey, DJ, do you remember you positive thought list? You sound like you have a lot more focus and like God is answering your prayers. Thanks be to God and God Continue to Bless You Always, DJ...

Sad One..

Hey everyone, 

  

I don't want to go into details about my situation, so I will just summerize it as best I can. 

  

I had this guy friend who turned on the charm instantly, claiming he wanted to take me out and so on, and said he was serious about it.  I liked him so it wasn't a porblem. But very shortly after, he started to critisize me over a lot of things. I tried to work it out but I slipped-up more in his eyes, then I did good. H blammed me if he "felt insulted" mocked my feelings etc... He even got into some "drama" with some friends of mine and somehow managed to blame me for his involvment in it, or at least it seemed.!! 

  

I must admit that even through the "good" times, something told me something wasn't right about him. I moment i saw him in fact fear came over me and I sensed, and still do whenever I see pics of him, that he as potential violant streak in him. He was verbally abusive. I question that sense though, for whatever reason. I think i lack trust in it, especially when he seems all sweet on the outside and to other people. 

  

Anyhow, he one day outta the blue said we couldnt be friends anymore ( i didnt inquire as to why, since the last time i did, i got drilled for my imperfections of not wanting to confide in him). 

  

Right now im trying to deal with the fact the he now apparently has a gf whom he as known for yrs and treats like a queen , and even goes around ( at least seemingly) giving advice and be-friending other girls,  who have the same emotional issues he accused me of having that he found to be "annoying." 

  

It hurts the he jumped up my ass for litle things and now is being nice to others and giving them advice... when he never really seemed interested in knowing me, but how i looked. What did I do? :( 

  

Have I truely lost someone? How can I get in my head that I havent?
