ladygg: Here is my good KARMA going out to you MUAH!!!!


LMAO - actually 67 is the year I was born but daisy67 was taken and daisy was taken when I first began using the internet. So I went with daisy671 and it just sorta stuck! If I live to be 671, shoot me! my boobs will be sagging in China by then (if I have any left!).

Dakota, I agree with Outland, I love your post. Please don't stop. Outland, how are you doing. This is so much fun chatting with you guys it really makes my day go so much better. You guys are a hoot. I get a real kick out of our B&B posters. Getting, Daisy and all the gang. Especially when when get into debates over our favorite characters. At least we have learned to agree to disagree and still be friends.

Quote nanaof8: Girly, Dakota, Lady, Daisy, I just want to say what an honor it is to know all of you and to be considered a friend to such a caring and loving group of "lady warriors". You all make me and the ones that you post with feel so special and appreciated. You always take each problem to heart and think of the problems of the world and reflect on how we should appreciate what we have and think of the problems as if they are our own. That is the way we should all think and feel.

Sorry. I am just so overwhelmed and greatful that people like this DO exist in a world of hatred and destruction.

I love you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Two weeks ago, I went out to a restaurant for dinner with a girlfriend. On my way in, I saw a man pushing his wife towards the restaurant in a wheelchair. I watched other people stare, then walk in and shut the door. It annoyed me #1 that the doors weren't handicap accessible and #2, that people actually did that. I waited the extra few minutes and held the door, then ran ahead of them and held the 2nd set for them. The couple were so grateful they sent me a drink to thank me. I just did what any normal person should do. It only takes a few minutes out of our day to do something nice for someone else.

Just a week earlier, I was walking into BJ's wholesale club and there was a carriage in the middle of the drive so I brought it in with my own. I always return my carriages, it's a nice walk. Anyway, as it's a wholesale club, no decent boxes or bagging and you check yourself out so as I was doing it, some guy came up to me and packaged my stuff for me. I was shocked and he told me the manager sent him to thank me for moving the carriage out of the way and bringing it in. The manager even came over to thank me. It made me feel good; not that they noticed but that I did it, it made me feel good and it was appreciated. Too much in life is not appreciated, the little things are overlooked and we all feel overwhelmed. I know I get irritated as heck when my kid overlooks all I sacrifice for him, the little things I do, the things I go without so he has and just once in a while, I'd like to see the appreciation. But I have to remind myself I'm still unmolding his thinking from his first 6 years and what his biological parents did to him.


Okay, sorry i got deep....really off my soapbox now!

dwebster: My husband and I went to California in 1989. Six weeks after we got home, we heard on the news that San Francisco had an earthquake 8.5 (I think) on the richter's scale. We saw all the roads that we had traveled on collapsed. It was horrible.

Dakota, Dwebster, I get very bad heachaches too. I sometimes have to put a little icy/hot over my temples and forehead and that helps a great deal. of course you have to lay down for about 15 minutes with your eyes closed and that almost always knocks it out or at least makes it managable. Good luck I sure hope you feel better very soon.

daisy, great story. Please don't stop what you are doing. I feel the same way. I don't care if anyone else does it or not. I do it because I believe that if I treat others the way I want to be treated and do the right thing, that it will come back in some way and even if it doesn't at least I know that I did what was right and that makes me feel better. I say way to go and keep up the goood work. It is to be commended.

mamaluv: Glad you made it here!!

daisy 671: That was a great story. Everyone likes to feel appreciated. I shop at BJ's wholesale club too. I usually go w/ my mom and it adds up quick when you buy in bulk.

Did you adopt a child?

It was funny about the numbers thing. The 4762 is actually harder to explain for it to sense. My dad was a very numerical person and I take after him.

dakato, thank you for the love... because the world certainly doesn't show it. but if a group of woman (don't know if any men are on board) can agree to disagree, and don't know one another. goes to show you, that we can all get along.

Dakota - We are 85 miles away and that earthquake was felt here. That is also the year the San Francisco Giants were in the world series with the Oakland A's.

I was sitting at my desk and the lights overhead where swaying and I felt like I was going to fall off of my chair. That's the closest I have been to an earthquake. It did a huge amount of damage.

Lisa, I had affirmations this past weekend that there are still good, caring people among us when my youngest daughter took her car to be serviced. Long story short, after they serviced her car, they couldn't get the hood latched, in the process a part broke off, which it would not have been secure and a danger to drive on the highway as she was leaving for Kent State later in the day to visit friends. It was one of those fast lube places so they called next door to another shop that could accommodate more of what she needed. First, they tell her it's going to be an hour or two before they could get to her car, and would cost $80. Her and I hadn't even discussed costs but she had already told them she did not have $80...they fixed her car for nothing. I'm sure the part probably didn't cost more than $20 if that with the remainder being labor. But the guy told her his good will side kicked in and would have felt guilty had her car not been fixed knowing all good and well she was going out of town. I was so thankful for their caring attitude. I think we've all probably gone that extra mile for someone at some time, because it's the right thing to do.

mamaluv- Good to see you finally made your way over here! Great group of ladies both here and on the board with a great deal in common. I love reading your comments, so passionate and always well thought out.

Maybe we should all take stock in the Excedrin company for all our aches and pains! I find it's the only thing that works for my migraines as I've been the whole gambut of prescribed meds and nothing works better than Excedrin and my dark, quiet bedroom!!!

ladygg- Hope you get your car problems resolved, what a pain they can be!!

Hi Girly, Dakota, D, Lady, Mama, Daisy, Nan!!!

Oh how great this is to have almost the whole bb team here!!!

I would have loved to have chatted today, but I am wiped out. Maybe because I still haven't gotten a job, wanted to go out today and tomorrow but my car is in the shop and won't be worked on before saturday and I guess I am getting the depris or I am lacking in iron, because I am soooooo tired all the time. If I close my eyes, I sleep!

But as it was discussed, mine are but minute problems, I pray for all those who live in fear, who have suffered loss and who are just devastated and overwhelmed.

I was over at the yr board yesterday, curious to see what was going on over there after cindy said that that will all be deleted by today and must say... they have balls of steel... ANYWAY, I saw that Getting posted one time. Hope all is well with her, I miss her so..........

It is in any case the best board on the site, what we have. I post once in the while on the AMC and OLTL boards because I have a few friends there, but home is where you guys are.

I posted the 203rd comment yesterday night and was waiting for Luvda and Candy050... and waiting... and waiting... and snore.... The whole group of ladies there are so excellent that I wouldn't want to miss it for the world. It is pretty boring on weekends and one is soooooo happy to see a familiar face, but let monday afternoon hit Germany and there it goes... let it storm outside, for me the sun comes out! And that is something to jump loops for here!!!

So, it is almost time for the new updates... still tired but will give my best! See you all there and keep me smiling... I love it!!!

Denise

Cody is my paternal nephew. (Make sense?) His dad is my baby brother. They married very young, problems, she left, both got into drugs and alcohol and I stayed involved from the day that little boy was born. I had him part time for nearly 2 years before he came to live with me full-time. He set fire in his own home; lots of tensions, aggression and lack of supervision - that's why when Brooke's kids were taken for those reasons, it ticked me off because it wasn't her fault. It hit close to home; the rape too. I watched neglectful parents and was helpless until Cody reached out for help and it's been 7 or 8 years or more, I lose track but he's mine. I did all the right things, gave him a stable environments, a loving, consistent home. Got him the help he needed and we still have a lot of uphill battles as he's bipolar, ADHD and RAD (Reactive Attachment Disorder) but, we have good days, we have bad days but he's 14 now and in high school and he is slowly maturing. He was supposed to have been placed into a residential facility due to his anger, aggression (he still has but mild to moderate now) but he has matured some since he started high school so, that is on the backburner in case he needs it. I'm pleased he can still be home, but single parenting is NOT easy!

I do not regret a moment or any decision and I try hard not to 2nd guess my parenting skills but I seriously got a crash course! LOL!

I hope I am not intruding but I read about the lounge and how to get here. You are a very special group of ladies and I love reading your comments. I throw my misguided opinion in there once in a while.

I just had to comment though after reading Daisy's story. My hat is off to you - what a wonderful gift you have given your son. I don't know too many people who would take on that challenge and succeed as you have. I am truly touched by your story and wish you all the best down life's path.
