Sage, don't let anyone make you feel that way about yourself. It is their problem if they cannot be understanding. Not Yours!

Sage, you will get through this day and the next and the next. Before you know it the current problem will have resolved and you can go on to explore new areas of your life -- something you can enjoy and feel good about. So hang in there Sage. Rosie

{{Sage}} I'm so sorry. He's not the man for you. You deserve so much more, and you will find it. I'm getting the spams now with a person's name, and then either jibberish or nothing in the subject line. The other day I got one similar to what Who posted about a recent order "I" had placed. Since I had ordered something, I had to really debate whether to open it. I did, and of course it was spam... about Viagra. Grrrr, lol.

every morning when i get up, i have about 75 emails. one is the new york times online. another is the ski report from mt. shasta. there might be one or two emails from friends. the rest are all crap. and i have a spam killer from mcafee which cost me 39 bucks for a year. does not work. worked for about a month. says it's still on there. i have all my filters. but nothing gets filtered. i hate yahoo, but i may go back to it each morning just to get my email and then go back to netscape 7.1 as yahoo came with a spam blocker that does a pretty good job. just the rest of yahoo sucks! i do not open anything i don't recognize, not because of spam but because of viruses. i know how many digits amazon uses in their orders, so i don't open the 'your amazon order 351 has shipped'. i also know if i have an order that SHOULD have shipped. if i'm not expecting it, i'm not opening!

OK, I admit it... I am probably just having a PPP (personal pity party) but I have had an RBW ( really bad week)!!! 1. NASCAR .. no race this week. No excuse to plunk myself in front of the TV for the afternoon. 2. CRIMSON ROOM.. can't finish the puzzle cuz I can't access the server. 3. GASOLINE PRICES..DH & I operate a trucking business & diesel prices are killing us both sides of the border. Our 18 wheelers only get about 7 mpg when loaded , so do the math!!! 4. WHAT AILS YOU.. I'm ok but DH has bronchial pneumonia so he can't work & when the wheels don't turn we earn a big fat 0.!! 5. SURVIVOR.. Getting a little miffed at the Sue thing. Just cuz she was a truck driver (as I am) does not minimize the Hatch incident. Wish he had kept his clothes on at least during the challenge. 6. WEATHER & ROAD CONDITIONS.. I spent 2 days washing, waxing & polishing 1 of our tractor & trailer combinations only to run into sloppy roads about 2 miles from home. All my work & time in vain!!! 7. SPAM MAIL & VIAGARA ADS: Got at least 50 of the stupid things this week!! Enough already ... as I said, it's been a bad week.

All right already!!! How lame & self-centered was my last post...Wish I could take it back, but failing that, bear with me a moment... 1 & 2 of previous post... So what??!!! I caught up on laundry, bathroom cleaning (3 in my house), cleaned the electronic furnace filters & vac'd & dusted the whole house (even scrubbed the kitchen floor)... Used Lysol & bleach, so be gone germs!!! 3 Can't change that, but came upon a few other $$ savers that will help the bottom line. 4 DH is still in the recovery-mode & was not bothered by my housecleaning noises!!He is doing quite well & should be back to his usual self in 2 days when the meds are done. 5 Survivor will go on without my input!!!! 6 Weather... who can change it??? 7 Spam mail.... read it once in a while for a laugh!!! But this is the "cruncher".... My youngest granddaughter ( 6, going on 22!!!!) called this AM before she left for school. Brief synopsis of our convo follows: Savannah: Hi Gram, how are you? Gram: Been better, Dear & you? Savannah: Know what, it's getting close to spring & we can do yard stuff together again.. How's Grandad? Gram: Better, he slept all night last night. Savannah: Great, you didn't have to listen to him cough & choke & puke, right?? Gram: Right Savannah, (very descriptive phrases she uses LOL ) Savannah: Gram, can I come to your house for dinner tonite? Gram: Why??? Savannah: Cuz it's Monday & Mom always does that horrible fish thing.... Not my favorite, you know, the salmon thingy... Gram: Sure Luv, come on over, we are having ribs, garlic bread & salad. Savannah: & Gram, can you pick me up cuz Mom is too busy to drive me out to your house & I really need a sleep-over with you & Grandad!! School time is 9:15 tomorrow & now I gotta go & I love you a bunch Gram.. See you after school. So just tell me this....???? How could I have felt so crappy one day & so flippin' GREAT the next.. Thanks also to Mak1 & Tess for your kind words... & YES it's a new week, a new month & I have a new perspective on the whole thing now, & I apologize for the huge PPP (personal pity party) I displayed. You are all so wonderful & thanks again.... SeaW

Mocha... Yup a big bunch & I'm doing chicken wings too...Come on over, we'll have a PPPP (PostPersonalPityParty) !!!! Other members can fill me in on the appropriate "drinks" to serve, I'm sure!!! Babyruth & Mamie... Been there too, only it wasn't Mom, but DH's Aunt who was the "next best thing" to him. Loved her a lot & she sure made us laugh often & also made us cry a lot too.. (Dementia took its's toll on her, poor soul)..Thinking back I can only celebrate her life & now find that the "trials & tribulations" were only fleeting moments & must say I learned a lot from Aunt Ida, also learn a truck load from the GRANDKIDLETS!!!! Best to ALL SeaW

not a gripe...I think the reason I get so few spam emails now is because tvch is almost the only place I visit online! I do have aol. Maybe that helps.

Seaworthy, I was so with you on the NASCAR deal. The season just started for crying out loud...why the weekend off already! I used the time to see "Miracle" which I had been wanting to see badly. I actually left the farmhouse and drove an hour to see it in Omaha with both my daughters and my grandchildren! It was GREAT! then made it home just in time (after driving throw a helacioius rain storm) for the Oscars. Not feeling very well today. I am not sure if it was being out in the rain, being up late for Oscars, that great big tall drink I ordered hubby to make for me to calm my nerves after that white knuckled drive home, or some other malaise.

I am so angry right now I am spitting nails. I don't know if any of you remember me ranting about how my daughters boyfriend convinced her to leave university and move home with her only to dump her when he got most of his stuff and on the day they signed a lease for a new apartment. Anyway she has learned her lesson, taken responsiblity for letting herself be used and moved on. Today I get a phone call from his mother looking for Chelsea because her son left an old tv here. This boy owes her for half of a $565.00 damage deposit that she paid and they lost, half of $450.00 rent on the new place, which she put up, a play station game which she bought for their apartment which he took with him and half of a $300.00 phone and internet bill which we had to pay for her and she is paying back. Those people had the nerve to call here for a 4 year old tv that probably didn't cost more than $150.00. I was stunned when she called and I told her Chelsea wasn't in which was true. She said she would call back later. I have made a list of what he owes and will tell her that when he is ready we can make an exchange. This woman is crazy and Chelsea is afraid she will come after her. She has to get through me first and believe me when I say I will rip anyone's head off that tries to get near my kids. I have to calm myself down because right now if she showed up here , I don't know what I might do to the ugly skinny little witch. I don't give a crap about the stupid piece of junk of a tv but boy am I ticked about the nerve of that leach. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree after all. I know I should just give it to them and be done with them because it just isn't worth it but boy I just don't know if I can do it.

What nerve! Does the guy's mom know what a jerk her son is, or did he maybe not even let her in on what he's been up to?

LL, in the event ex doesn't pay her back and still insists on tv, I would simply open the back, remove a few pieces, close it back up and tell them to come and get the tv...but then that's just me.

Kaili, I don't know what he told them, there has been no contact between them until the phone call today. Ddr, darn good idea, that is exactly how it will be returned in that case, I am quite willing to have her write the other stuff off to keep these people out of her life but I am done with them profitting from my daughter.

I'm sure his mother probably has no idea what her son has done. Cause I know if that was one of mine, well it wouldn't be cause that's not how I'm raising them.

You know Mocha, the more I think about it the more I am sure she doesn't so I have decided that when she calls back I am going to tell her no problem the tv is here and then tell her that we are willing to forget the rent and damage deposit but when he is picking up the tv he can bring along half of the phone bill and the play station. That should be the end of that.

I bet ya'll are right. I know if I did something so crappy to someone,I sure wouldn't be letting my Mom know about it. Good idea on telling her LL,I bet she will be shocked.
