OT: Misery

I'm so sorry. Anytime you want to come over and hang out, just call. I almost picked up the phone just now when I read this, but if you're sleeping I don't want to wake you. I think this calls for a Long-Island Night! If you're not into that, we can buy about 15 or 20 pints of Ben & Jerry and see which we like best!

Hurray for OT Tuesday! But seriously, I've usually found if your friends don't like him-they're right. Just speaking from personal experience. I say we drink too! Sorry about your uncle. What is unexpected?
WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!

My friends only concern is that he doesn't go to church. And one of those friends just married a man who's on his third marriage now with her. And he's gone to church his whole life. It reeks of hypocrisy to me.

Remember, we're always here for you! Our thoughts will be headed in your direction.

I'm so sorry! We're praying for you. I make a mean margarita, if I do say so myself:) We could get together to celebrate making it thru tough times with some sanity still in tact and your Birthday.

If that's their only reason, then it does sound lame. You're the one that has to decide how important that is to you. My ex wouldn't go without a fuss and it was always distressing to me. I'm really surprised that my sister in law married a guy that doesn't go to church. Their family is so involved in their church but I guess she thought that his love was more important than him going to church. I hate people that get all holier than thou when they are harboring their own dark sides. I used to work with a girl that wanted to go on and on about what a great Christian she was but she was such a b**ch! What would Jesus do-probably not be a hateful b*tch!

Kris, 40 is OK. In two years I'll be 50! I can't believe it myself, but according to my date of birth, it is true.

I did not meet Curt until I was 45.

I'm sorry about your uncle.

Keep your chin up. You are Woman hear you ROAR.

Sorry to hear about your crappy week so far. I agree with Stacy...ice cream, drinks, and friends.

Girl, you made me laugh out loud!!! :)

I'm sorry about your Uncle. 40 is still young, I'll be 50. A month from now this will all seem like a bad dream. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

Or how about Ice Cream Drinks? I think they still make things like Pink Squirrels and such. BTW, I am 55, so I could be old enough to be yo mama, silly girl. It's just a number, and most days I like myself a whole lot better now than I did when I was younger. It's only Tuesday and your week will either get better or worse, but we will still be here for you either way. Many hugs and kisses coming your way.

Gee...it looks like mom is the oldest. She is 62 and is still going strong..exercise really works.

Sorry to hear about your uncle.

Thanks Daisy. I went for a walk last night and it did seem to help.

I'm really sorry to hear about your uncle and your boyfriend. I can send Colton over to give you some "big" snuggles and extra big kisses. That usually helps me when I'm feeling down.

Hang in there! I am so sorry to hear about your Uncle. We will be praying for you and the furkids!! Lean on Duece, Francie Pants, and Penny right now. They will help you through this!!!

Aunt Kris, please come over with Mama Muttblood so we can eat Pink Squirrels!!

Mama Deuce--We're sorry about your Uncle. Mama says 40 is the new 30 (cause she'll be their in 2 yrs) Sorry about the boyfriend but remember....men will come and go but Deuce will love you forever and won't care if you stay in your PJ's all day and eat Peanut butter from the jar (as long as you share) Puppy love coming at you-ETB

Kris, I am sorry to hear about this rough patch you are going through. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. In times like this it is a blessing to have the unconditional love of furkids!!

Kris: I read the other day that today's 50 is yesterday's 40, so if that's true, you'll be back to 30!! I was 56 this spring and have my moments after marathon gardening when I feel my age, but it's all a state of mind and just a number. It's been tough around here with 1 kid moving to CA, the baby headng off to college and the 3rd being somewhat estranged; the nest is empty! Thank Dog for corgis. You've got your "kids" who are loyal, loving and fun - so who needs a man. I'm sorry for your troubles.

I've dated my share of church-going guys, and believe me, just because they go to church does not mean they are Christians. Wolf in sheep's clothing.

I am SO sorry to hear about all of this happening at the same time. When you turn 40 (and I'm right behind you-- next March), look at it as a new beginning, a fresh start.

If you need anything, let me know! I am always available! I think the other gals had a great idea- drinks and ice cream!

Thanks everyone for the support. I'm better this morning. Resiliency is part of my nature....as Connie said, I am woman, hear me roar!

**additional note*** I find when Mama is upset some baking really makes her feel better....especially baking for me. I'm just throwing that out there...(I got you're back MMD) ;0)

Niiiice! Way to work it, ETB!

I'm glad that you're feelin' better....and very sorry about your uncle and the ex. I know that it seems sometimes the pain of breaking up will never go away, but I also know that all things grow a little dimmer with time...a teensy weensy bit. Wish I were closer for that drinks and ice cream thingy. The one thing that doesn't go away is the memory of the sickly hangover that pink squirrels gave me 35 years ago..which if you figure up how old I am, you'll be feelin' a whole lots better about 40, or 50 even.....haha....have a happy, you deserve THE best...just ask your furkids.
