It's that time again

It's time to get to work again.  Now that Christmas binging is over, the New Year's resolution begins.  Might as well begin now instead of weight till next week.

I hope to look like this next Xmas

This is what I want to look like in 12 to 18 months I suppose to be somewhat realistic.  Tan, skinny, in a bikini top, long curly hair, since mine is dead straight and fluffy.  Bikini's now are far from even an option under a shirt.  And I am as white as this page. 

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas day.

It is nice

Quote From: hiitsme

I have just read all the wonderful responses to my last post.  A lot of very supportive people here has made me feel comfortable enough to open up some.  I felt a real connection to Jerry758 since She/He  is also new. and I think is close to my age.  I turned 57 this past November.  I have been divorced from my last husband since 1989.  I have a long and disappointing history of relationships and love gone really wrong, so I have given up on that.  I have lived alone and supported myself ever since, that is till this past May.  The owners of the company that I worked at the past 7 years, sold their business in January.  Long story but new owners and I did not work out.  Iost my job,  tried so hard to find work, but I guess it wasn't meant to be.  Lost my apartment in May, and had to move in with my daughter, her husband, and my 2 grandchildren.  I share a bedroom with my 5 year old granddaughter.  Although I love them all, losing my independence, being totally dependent for everything is very hard.  Also when I lost my job I lost my medical Insurance,  along with my medication for clinical depression.  (I have a long history).  Although My son in law makes a comfortable living for his family, there really isn't enough to support me very well.  They couldn't keep up my car insurance, so my car has been registered as inopratable.  So I don't go anywhere, just stay in my room mostly.  Although my daughter is not really mean to me, she has her own issues that are not very positive to my situation.  Anyway  all of this makes me feel so trapped, and hopeless.  I know that the chemical imbalance in my brain due to the sudden stopping of my medication is causing some of the hopeless thoughts, but knowing it and stopping the thoughts is two different things.  Anyway I don't think there is anything anyone can do to really change my situation, but I am already finding that just talking about it here, and knowing someone hears, really helps.    Thank to all of you that takes the time to read this.   Blessings to all.   From Me

I found it also helpful to talk here.  It seems I feel less alone.  I am so sorry your current situation is not working as well as it should.  Maybe you will find another job with benefits soon after the holidays, when everything calms down. 

I hope you find something soon to take those meds again.  I know I am not taking mine because of the side effects and it sucks feeling like this.

We are too stuborn

Quote From: elwa80

I met her in a chat room , we talked then we became a friends and after a whole year of daily chatting  for at least 5 hr per day , phone calls and emails , we both fall in love even we both see each other's photos.we fall in love only by words n email n voice !!!. even though we r too different in religion, nationality , customs and  traditions but we have been soul mates. it has going as a real relationships for over 2 yrs ...we had our good moments ..we had fights ..we got upsets ..broke up ..n everything in a reality relationship ..even we were on different continents!! we never met face to face...she had me on cam ...but she never got on cam...she sent me a single pic of her. 

  

day by day i started to realize how different our way of lives is. things that is not acceptable for me ....its cool for her. her pride n her fear that i am trying to control her every time i ask her to do or not do something......she is telling to accept her as she is ..no changes But she Carnot take me as I am ....coze if i will accept what she does ...i wont be myself  ...so she wanna me to change to accept her ...but she wont accept me as i am coze she wont change for me ..(( Confusing ...huh ?))  

  

Now My Question is .....is it a real true love .....or what ? i broke up with her for over 2 month now ....n i am still waiting a call or email from her , everytime i open my email i wish to find something , everytime my phone ringing i wish she will be her calling. i am looking at her name on messenger n i wish a pm from her will pop up to light up my days.......I Do love her n i would give my life for her ...... but I love to get married ...not just to have a good time ...n i know that she is not going to be the wife i want .  ...I am confused ....is it really love ..even i NEVER met her ???!!!!! 

Women are too stubborn and will not call first, because we have been told all our lives to lighten up and wait for the other one to call first.  'if he loves you he will call'  Trust me I know too many women who do it on a daily basis thinking it proves if a man really loves them.   If you do love her call her or email her or whatever contact her and explain you don't want her to change but you would like for both of you to agree and compromise on some issues.  This way you do change but to be together, singles act one way, couples act another.  You don't have to change who you are, but you need to compromise if you guys want to be together some day. 

Good luck  

If you find someone to be with do what you can to stay with her if she wants to be with you, you be the bigger person and call first.

Tama

I feel so sad for you and your grandmother.  But I do understand how frustrated your grandmother and your aunts are.  We had to move in with my husbands grandmother for a while cause we had no place for her, and if no one moved in with her she had to be sent into a home, which we just thought that was cruel.  So we left our home and moved in with her and our two sons.  At times her 'nurse' would be so controling and turning his grandmother against us that we wanted to leave ourselves. 

Your grandmother would not feel better in those appartments they have, it's not a home, but the cleaning is done, theirs a nurse onsite and things elderly need.  His grandmother went in one and she enjoyed it much more, cause she had no repairs to pay for and her drives were found for her.  When we went to work, we did not need to miss work to take her do her groceries and things like that anymore.  We never made her feel like we did not want to be there of that she was a bother for us.  We really love her and wish we could have done more for her, but alzheimers had another plan for her.

13 years how depressing

Quote From: dcms47

Hello everyone, 

 

I watch Dr. Phil's show quite a bit. I don't  watch when the topic is irelevant to me and my situation. So far I haven't seen any shows re: depression.  Mouth At Side  

 

I'm not sure about how this MB works. I think I'll wait until someone replies to my post and clues me in on it.  

 

Til then, take care everyone, and I am hoping to see some replies soon.  "Love  is the way" 

 

 

  Seasons Greetings 




 

I have been talking with my doctor for only a few years now, I can not imagine feeling like this for another 10 years.  god help us all 

I am not too sure myself on how this works but I think I am doing it right. 

  

I was reading on depression treatments today on the net of course, and their was a test to see if you can distinguish between being depressed and bipolar, and to tell you the truth I think my case heads towards the bipolar instead of depression.  I am going to mention it to my doctor on the 3rd to see what she thinks and how to make sure. 

Good luck and happy holidays 

Nancy

Ouch

Quote From: murphy63

I'm in Wa. he is in Oregon.  After one week of emails and a couple of telecons he wants to come visit and stay at a hotel.  I have heard all the horror stories out there and wish to hire an investigator and do some checking to see if he is legit.  Has anyone out there done this before. 

  

I must say that I have read many of the postings,  I'm 62 and have had nothing but really good dates and the men were all nice.  Problem I felt no chemistry with any of them.  My age didn't seem to bother any of the men that I dated that were between the ages of 56 and 70. 

  

Any help sure would be appreciate such as a good referral. 

Thanks to you all. 

After only one week.  If he does not know exactly what town you live in, I would stay in a hotel in another town just to be safe, meet at his hotel or a restaurant near by, make sure someone stays at your hotel things like that.  You are very brave to meet them, I am such a chicken when it comes to that, that I make sure someone else is their, not with us but in the same place so if something goes wrong I have another way out just to make sure.

Sorry

Quote From: tamsue35

Alzheimers is such a hard thing to handle. i am glad that my grandma still has her right mind. she does have a hard time remebering s few things but thats natural stuff. i have a harder time thatn she does. my memorie and thinking is worse than hers.and my knees and walking ablity is worse too. and we both use a cane to walk with. me more than her. she just needs it for balance i need it to walk with and to suport. my knees are extreemly bad shape... as far as her living in an apartment i think she would be better off myself. but no money for that. ...tama

I thought for those appartments it was arranged by the check you get when your old? 

My baby sister just had knee surgery this week, she found out once they were inside her knee that she had torn ligaments.  She has had problems with her knees for years now. 

Alzheimers sucks so much, my grandfather is becoming worse everyday, some days I go there and he remembers me as the one who comes to clean, My dad is the guy who brings in the wood and who shovels their driveway.  My mom his daughter, somedays he has no clue who she is and is unsure if he should even talk to her when she comes in to pick up my grandmother.  It is so sad, I found out today that my ex's grandmother is now hanging on to a doll thinking it's her baby or something.
