Oops...my bad. Thought you said "boobies". Never mind.

:boobs:

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} }}}}}}}}}]

SD..I still LOVE frogs and I can't wait. Oh and I'm so glad to know I will have your address AGAIN, because I was gonna PM you for it..I made you something :) :) :)

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} to everyone.

I'll list my problems later...lol

I've been avoiding this thread......because its all so close to me.

I'm a cronic holliday "bah-humbug"-er. Since I stopped being a kid, the holidays always provided more stress than joy, because I could never provide what I wanted to, for my good friends and family. Last year with my somewhat financial sucess, it was a good year.

This year, due to my situation, it is at its worse. I don't want to bore everyone with the details that I'm sure you are all sick of, but man this really sucks. I did manage to scrape up enough $ to keep my power on over the holidays though..........And, I've got enough to get Ryan "something" for x-mas.

I guess I've been lurking around in this thread though, because its good to know that I'm not alone with thoughts of depression, as well as stress, around the holidays.

Awwww Nut.......that's why I started this thread. Even if a peep don't post to it at least they can know they are not alone. To bad you don't live by us, my boss wants to let our 3rd key go, I know she would hire you. :D

I have'nt been as depressed as I was, talking about it has helped alot. I still have little hurdels to deal with but it's sooo much easier.

Nut, you could never bore us with your problems, we're always here to listen, cause we're family here. I've been praying for ya and we are still gonna plan a meet this summer!!! Hang in there, things work out in strange ways.

Now I can't wait!!!!!!! :) :) :)

(((((nutworld)))))

We're your friends. Of course we care.

thanks Soda, Osuche!

I appreciate it. I just don't want to sound like a broken record..........

That's what friends and family are there for..... to listen and help out. I've learned over these past couple of months that Pixies are definitely friends and family. You're not a broken record..... you're a friend and family member.

Thanks Iowaman. Just try and remember that yourself ok?

Or I'll be forced to your your own words against ya...............and wouldn't that just suck? :)

Set that one right there on the tee for ya huh? :rofl:

I worry about being unproductive at work. I know this is because I'm being assigned tasks that shouldn't be assigned to the role I've been rostered on to for the past month or so, but I'd rather get things done.

I worry about taking too long to solve problems.

I worry about not having enough time in the day to do everything I want to do. I end up doing work and very little else.

I worry about underperforming at sport and failing to fulfil potential. I wonder if I'm all washed up at 24.

I worry about being overweight. I took up martial arts lessons partly because of this, then in my first lesson I strained something by not quite executing a BJJ takedown correctly. Hope it's not a tendon in my rotator cuff. Last one of those took a year to heal properly.

I worry about my directional skills and memory deteriorating.

I worry about being untidy. This is not the way of a sensible man, it is the way of an immature child.

I worry about females thinking disdainfully of me even though I have a girlfriend.

I worry about inheriting the negative traits of both parents.

Let me buy you a beer Belial!!!

I realized long ago (I'm twice your age) that "worry" accomplishes absolutely nothing. So why do it?

:cheers:

Oh guys, hate to see unhappy Pixies....but love the idea of this thread. "Shared pain is diminished, shared joy is increased" always seems like a perfect sentiment for this place to me. And I promise I'll bring you mine, just as soon as I understand it a little better. I'm only just starting to realize what's had me so down lately. But I think I've got my head in a place where I can get through the holidays.

One thing I do know, when I start spiraling around a depression the small stuff seems to grow right in front of me...until I feel overwhelmed, incapable of coping, unworthy of coping sometimes (if that makes sense). I have to trust my friends and family when they tell me things will be ok, even if I _feel_ like they're the crazy ones who just don't GET how bad things are. Hard, really hard, but it helps me get to the point where I can believe it for myself.

(((((((((((((((Hugs))))))))))))))))))))) to you all, "whether you've posted here or not (as DB said)".

Ginge

I whipped something up for you last night too, SODA, but I'm not sending it because it'll be dried out before it could get there.









:boink:

[QUOTE=PantyFanatic]I whipped something up for you last night too, SODA, but I'm not sending it because it'll be dried out before it could get there.

Hmmm.....I don't suppose the advice I got on shipping perishables/christmas cookies would exactly help here. You could label the box Christmas Cockies...

OK, not a good pun...but I'm running on empty here. Need sleep.

LOL, that's cute Ginger, Christmas Cockies!!

Um, thanks PF but no thanks, dried out is not as good as fresh. :D



I've been doing good since I got it all out in this thread. Hopefully it helps those that don't post........................just wanted them to know they are not alone.

Hi Belial....hugs sweetie!!! You've come a long way!!

We'll be here when you have time Ginger!!

FORE!!!!

Hope everyone is doing ok!!

I've kept the blues and what not at bay. Just very tired from working. Things have'nt slowed down much with all the extra projects they want done. I'm hoping to get thru this week and then as long as things don't get sour I should get a 3 day weekend. Between work, sleep and some small time with kiddo I have'nt had any Pixie time which really sucked. I could'nt go back to sleep this morning so it gave me a chance to catch up here. I do have Sat. off and I'm not gonna worry about all the things that need to be done. Spending time with kiddo and Booger is gonna be the main point.

Hope all of you are well................. hugs to those who need them!!!

I'll take a couple of those hugs today Sodaklostsoul. I'm heading out of town for the New Year to be with some friends for about a week and taking Sarge with me. Had to make a decision that's just tearing me apart, especially this morning as I watched him eat his breakfast.

Eventually the weather is going to get bad enough back here that I won't be able to go outside and take as good of care of the little guy as he needs so Sarge won't be coming back home with me next week. He'll be staying at my friend's place and live with them and their two dogs, his "brothers."

Made him his favorite breakfast this morning and he gobbled it up and asked for more. He got it. :(

Yay, 3-day weekends. See, our society has it backwards in the first place. We should have two-day work weeks, and five-day weekends.

I agree GG!!!!!!!


Sorry I missed ya IowaMan........I'm sure your on the road by now so heres some hugs anyway. (((((((((((IowaMan))))))))))))) (((((((((((((((IowaMan)))))))))))))))

I'll take 'em again, even though you just sent me some last night too.

I know leaving Sarge with my friends was the right thing to do and I knew I'd have to do it sometime but oh boy, I'm not enjoying this morning.

Just out of habit I got up, pretty much still asleep at around 4:30 and went to the back hall to get his food so his breakfast would be waiting for him when he got up. Wasn't really until I opened the closet door that it hit me that he wasn't here with me. Then at 7am the whistle blew here in town just as it does everyday and Sarge wasn't sitting here at my feet growling at it and scooting himself around on his fat butt. I miss him. I miss him a lot. :(

((((((((((((((IowaMan)))))))))))))

It will take some time. This last summer my daughter went to visiit her dad back in SD for 5 weeks and although it was nice to have some alone time with Booger, I missed her something awful. I caught my self starting to do or say things even tho she was'nt there. Took me a bit to adjust.

Hmmm, ya need a stuffed Sarge, so then you can hug him and remember his happy times. At least he is with friends, you can visit him, yes?

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Some fuckhead from Canada has managed to put about $1200 in fraudlent charges on my credit card.

At least the bank in question is being helpful about it.

I attended a meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals last night for Habitat. We requested a variance to the setback requirements so that footprint of the new house we're planning can encroach upon the build line by 8 feet, leaving it 12 feet from the property line. All of the other houses on the street are 12 feet from the property lines, and by doing this...we could avoid working around a rather steep grade in the back of the house. Not only were we not approved, but one member of the board methodically attacked each and every one of our points and insisted that we could build the house without a variance if we simply turn the house 90 degrees and run the driveway up to the back of the house instead of the front. This means extensive excavation and a rather large (and long) retaining wall would be needed.

Funny how we can't use money as a hardship reason to request the variance but all of the solutions we can use to accomodate our need without the variance will add 30% to the cost of the house, hence making it not affordable housing.

A little research revealed that he is an asshole. He constantly fights with the town and has filed 109...yes, 109 suits claiming violations of the Freedom of Information Act stating that various town officials have denied him his right to access documents he requests.

AND....he slipped up and mentioned that he's familiar with the land because he looked at it when it went up for silent bid. I think he wanted the land but we out bid him. That's why he's got a hair across his ass!

Asshole! :mad:

Asshole indeed. Is there anyway you can use that little slip as a conflict of interest appeal to the rest of the zoning board?

ha ha^^^^ I already bored him incessantly about that :p

(((((everyone)))))

You can journey half way around the world and end up realizing that we have some wonderful and very special people on this place we call Earth...and that's reason enough to celebrate every day.

not talkative lately...it is due to my bipolar 2 disorder...sorry guys and gals...just popping in to say that I am around, but feeling blah

(((((((((((((Lizz))))))))))))))

We'll be here when ya feel better.

I've got to admit, to being pretty depressed lately, not to mention becoming bitter and angry, over the past 2 or 3 weeks. Culminating on Friday and Saturday, with my latest work set-back. A good friend described me as "morose" (sp?) Bonus points for the word, now I've got to go look it up.


Sunday, however, gave me a reminder that positive things come from positive thoughts, so I'm trying my best to maintain a "new" attitude in my goings on this week.

((((Nut))))) - Damn I am hoping for a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for you!

One piece of advice though, if that rainbow's end is in Nebraska......... be very careful about the pot. ;)

That's gotta be the line of the year!

Thanks guys!

PS- I am not planning on limiting my "new" attitude to just this week.

I am going to try my darnedest to make it last for the rest of my life. First this week then next.

I know Iowa is famous for it's Ditch weed what kind do they have in Nebraska?
