Breakfast.. prob a granola bar and yogurt..maybe coffee?

You get better, you. There is hope for you. I have to smile and nod at my well-wishers. They mean well, I know, so I try but inside I am screaming: "MS is terminal. There is no "Getting better" My own brain is housing lesions that will -never- get better. I take drugs to slow it down, but I want to take speed to let it be over already! Sucks to watch your body fall apart slowly, bit by bit, never knowing what will go next. The chronic pain lets me know that part is still there. I can still see/hear/taste.. feel? most of me.. I qualify for disability, but an attorney said, "You make too much money to bother." I might get $100 a month because of my kids' dad. yay? Troy, please go to war.. you have accomplished so much. Things I could never do. You gave John and I a place to exist. You brought together people that would have never met. You're one of my favorite people. I hate people. I am a "hopeless case", what do you advise me?

"back and hips (are) that of a 70 year old"? "pain and disability".

if only it was age that were my adversary..

I'm hoping butthurt and feels and the dreaded mob mentality don't exist in the banning process.. but I read my horoscope too..

Pagan and proud. Santa isn't owned by Christians, and their tradition robbed many of ours. No one yanked down our evergreen fake.. (many pines flourish in Bethlehem?) Frankenmuth, Christmas land, honours their Germanic roots. Think Odin? but I loathe carols. Not in my house!!

Yes! And as a rational adult, I'm not going to throw a shit fit for my pity party of one and just shrug.. {Happy because that lacey bit from England arrived}

This has that same guitar note in so many other "Goth" tunes.. I'd have to ask my daughter what note it is..sounds like an upstrike.. that just lingers, high-ish..but what do I know? The vocals are terrible. The music is.. eh? {remember.. don't care what anyone thinks.}

Well then I'm glad I saw your face, most scary.. Never played at my house? I will attend as long as John can bear me.. And may I please have a card if I make it?

not surviving? I hope things are always looked at in the most objective way..

Have an amazing day, Madam!

Yay!! I did it!! <squee!> Yeah John and I will be there with more in tow! <3 you guys! *group hug* i hope I get some kind of card but no pressure!

I used to love this tune.. but some giant broken promise made it impossible to listen to. Gods.. I wish people wouldn't spoil the word 'Love' with their lack of moral integrity giving it such a sour and bitter taste. Some of you met the waste of skin, blissfully not all. One moon some decent guy will wash the taste out of my mouth, that's what I want for solstice.

I'm feeling that Tom Petty tune.. F U MS!!! Grr..

I want a new kitchen or batteries for my wheelchair.. but then I say Why? I have no ramps or a lift or a vehicle that could carry it.. *sigh* A new manual chair would be nice..

Dying hurts, but I'm going down fighting. F you MS!

I wasn't here for drama..Can't say I even comprehend drama on a web site? Shut it off? I keep my friends in a small group, and they know who they are. I don't care at all what people think of me. Piss off if you don't like me, I don't give a sh*t. Hope y'all had a nice holiday.

*supports*

Broke as f.. describes the best of us, as far as I see it, but if life were fair we'd all be rich and thin.

Someone flew to pick me up from a mile away because I fell.. again.. <sigh> Dying is hard.

If I drove.. I might have an opinion but I don't. John has been an amazing help since scary stopped giving me a lift.. Troy, he'd even grab you. He's an amazing guy.

I'm so very sorry for your loss, Troy. *hugs*

I've found if they aren't littermates..2 girls or 2 boys are best together. Make sure they are neutered/spayed. Let them work out the pecking order together. Leave the new one in the carrier closed for an hour with current kitty in the room, then open it and walk away. Wait for the hisses to subside.. Approach with treats in hand, sit on the floor and hold current kitty, give pets/treats and try to coax new kitty to approach and pet current to assure current they are loved and not being replaced. then scatter treats and maybe catnip and let them work it out. I just did this with my 2 year old female and a male kitten. They cuddle and sleep in a cat pile together now. Scary can verify.

I was very heavy once.. At that time my MS hadn't appeared yet. I never had trouble getting dates. I performed the role of Magenta in Lakeside's Rocky Horror cast. 17-21 years of age. I was active and eventually took over leadership. We were much like the Gathering. We took in the outcasts and gave them self-confidence and a place to 'belong'. With my shock of red curls (then) and my sass, men tripped over themselves to get next to me. I love teddy-bear men. I like the look of strength. I need grit and perseverance in a man. That means, to me, blue collar, car repairing, house repairing, lawn mowing, snow shoveling, man. Not 'I need my safe space', hurt feelings, cry baby, Jobs are hard, Boy. I never met one, until John (brought him into this group). I'm difficult and have my issues..I know this. But I am serious as a heart attack when I say "Looks" barely make the bottom of my list. Honesty, Integrity, Perseverance, Intelligence.. and honestly, a ravenous "appetite"..Because I know I have all of that. -All- of that.. I'm too smart for my own good and have wit like a knife. I've been on my own since I was 14 and raised my 10 year old sister. She graduated on time with a scholarship to college. She didn't make use of it because I robbed the genepool, I guess? I didn't have that chance, I had a job. Poor me! It's 2016! My feelings are hurt? Won't someone give me a pacifier?! Yes.. I'm bitter, and it's made me hard. That further complicates things. However! I hope and pray to the Gods who have abandoned me that there is yet a beast of a man out there somewhere who might take on this challenge and kiss my hand so that he might see the ice queen melt. I'm really quite cuddly. When I'm happy the weight falls off me revealing the dancer's body hiding inside. Now you know too much about me..

She's right ^^ y'know..
