I’ve been dealing with this a long time. This is the reason I joined Pricescope over a year ago. I had to detach from him because he got very scary. I have a friend who is a psychologist and she talks to me when I need it. I thought about going to Al Anon...but I can’t bring myself to go because I seem to absorb other people’s stress because I feel bad for them. I let Chris back into my life after he had been sober a year and working on his anger. He directed his rage at me..not physically but equally hurtful and very scary. I had to set boundaries...This board has been so helpful to me...I appreciate all the good wishes...I hate to be a Debbie Downer..so I thought it best to stay away for a bit.
Hello girlfriends....I can’t tell you how much it means to me to have you guys here..Thank you again for the warm wishes...I guess I can’t stay away...You have all become important parts of my life..On the lighter side...I was trying to find a stone to fit in my previous ering setting but was unsuccessful. I decided to try a very light blue moissanite. It’s colored throughout and not coated...When it arrived it was too light for the ring so I sent it to David so he could make it into a pendant. It came out so pretty..Now that it’s set it definitely looks blue! He also rounded out the edges of my hexagon setting..and set the blue topaz into my previous Lentil setting. I will look for another gem instead of the topaz..I think...Dana did such a great job cutting it...It looks like a zircon and is 8 on the hardness scale. I should get them this week. xxxxoooo
That lightest blue has me at Hello, @Mamabean !
@missy Perhaps it is just us, cat people, however, IMHO, your shots belong in the National Portrait Gallery. I am not joking whatsoever & this is how I love cats - although they clearly speak a different body language than people, it is at least as deep...
That icecream! Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow... there shall be icecream... ! If not breakfast, then lunch & dinner ,) - no kidding.
We leave for Austin in a little over a week, first to VA for the wedding then going to NC for 2-3 nites to see the fall leaves if there are anyway and then off to TX arriving around Oct 3.. House should go on the market this week.
@missy, so sorry Ollie was acting up and I am hoping it's just a temporary reaction to all that's been going on. Hopefully he has calmed down for you. Sending lots of healing vibes to all the kitties, and I do hope Fred perks up a little. Thanks for the advice on the vitamin C and zinc...I found some in the cabinet so I've have been taking it...can't hurt at this point! It's a shame your doctor moved and I hope you can find a new one you like.
Oh @Mamabean, I am so very sorry your son is struggling and that it is affecting your health. I hope and pray Chris reaches the point where he is ready to enter into recovery. I know as a mom it's heartbreaking to see your child suffer, and yes, it causes pain for all who love him as well. Please, please take care of yourself and try your hardest to reduce the stress you're feeling...although I know it's so much easier said than done. I hope you will check in, please don't worry about keeping up, or having to be happy or anything like that... please join in whenever you feel the need for a little company, support, whatever. Sending much love and many hugs, xoxox
@marcy, glad your tv is up and running again, and you were able to watch the last episodes of JAG. It's great you've been able to get together with friends while Marty's away. Tacos and margheritas are a winning combination. Definitely helps pass the time! Love the pic of that blue sky, just gorgeous. Oh no to feeling like fall! It's too soon lol. I'm not ready for winter. I'm really sorry your knee is bothering you so much and I hope it feels better soon.
@bling_dream19, aw, thank you for the compliment on my jewelry, you made my day I hope you're enjoying your etsy purchases...I saw what you decided to keep on the other thread and I LOVE the heart pendant and citrine ring! Did you decide on the cluster pendant? I think it's beautiful. And have fun with your IS set!
@Austina, your bedroom looks absolutely beautiful! Ugh to the mishaps, nothing is ever simple...but all of your hard work has paid off, it's lovely and inviting and very elegant. Love all your choices, and the small couch at the foot of the bed is SO cool. And I'm happy to read that Dottie's foot is much better, what a relief for you! please give her an extra pet from me. Thanks for the rec, I will get some echinacea and give it a try next time...although hopefully that won't be for a long time LOL.
@AV_, so sorry you had a strange reaction to the pain medication and I hope you're feeling better. I love the idea of Name day...so much better than a birthday haha. Maybe I'll start the tradition in this country
@Tekate, oh no to thinking you might have an infection, I hope it's nothing serious and you get good news at the surgeon today. Your chocolate cake looks amazing! And I really love the outdoor furniture, so cozy and comfy. I'm going to try to talk dh into getting something similar for SC.
@Calliecake, thinking of you and I hope all is well. XOX
@Scandinavian, thinking of your mom and hoping she's doing ok. (((Hugs)))
Nothing interesting to report...still a bit under the weather so I've been laying low and not doing a whole lot. Sending love to all!
@marcy Go into the search area and put in CBI vs ACA...I think that’s the right order but that shouldn’t matter. It’s still there..
I went back and it’s an old thread. I’m pretty sure I saw a recent one too...Maybe someone resurrected the old thread and deleted their comment that was posted recently.
