Thought a raccoon was a cat. Tried to catch said "cat", thinking it was far too fancy to be a stray. Wasn't til I was about a foot away that I noticed it was indeed a raccoon. Never helping a cat in the dark ever again.

I've lost nearly 40 pounds since this time last year. I used to weigh over 250lbs.

I've built muscle, grown my hair out, and aside from smoking cigarettes have been taking awesome care of myself. It shows.

I look better than I have in years, and I've never felt more alone. I see people starting to treat me differently now that I'm less fat. Guys and girls show interest in me immediately instead of needing to get to know my personality to like me. I don't want any of them, though. The dude I'm pretty sure I'm in love with seems to be waiting around, silently rejecting me but still being nice enough to keep me around until I'm physically what he wants. Fat chance, bud. Love me for what I am now, or **** off when I'm hot and you want to get up on this. I can't allow myself to really believe he'd be so manipulative but it's always creeping in the back of my mind.

People all through my life have taken from me, taken my generosity and my respect and my kindness. Sucked it all out of me until I was broken and bitter and had to withdraw from everything to recharge my faith in people. And it's happening again. I'm giving so much to someone I care for so much, and I don't think he'd **** on me if I was burning alive.

I'm so stupid.

Oh, and I make too much money to get any financial assistance in my current situation, working fulltime and trying to feed myself and my roommate and my dog, pay rent and bills (3/4 of my 1200/month paycheck) and still somehow save so I can get out of this shithole someday. But people who do nothing all day can get food stamps no problem. Just not me, someone who ****ing works for a living. What a crock of horseshit.
I just wanted to say I love you and (((((((((HUGS))))))))))

You're amazing. Inside and out. Ridiculously gorgeous, when I see pictures of you smiling it's actually contagious. You're a wonderful example of a human being - compassionate, caring, snarky, witty, and fun.

If he can't see you for who and what you are, and for how beautiful you are now - not a year from now - he is not worth it. There are other ones out there, and while there are probably tons of reasons that he's amazing. . . he doesn't seem like he's amazing enough to deserve you.

Way to make me almost cry at work,
Stef. I so appreciate hearing that. Thank you.

I'm hoping that he actually does like me and is just... Odd in this regard, as he is in so many ways. One of the reasons I am so taken with him. I can't ever really figure him out. But it says something to me when he'll only touch me when he's shitfaced.

My other roommate is trying to convince me not to help him, too. I know how very right he is, that I should just not lay everything he needs at his feet, but I ****ing love him to death and can't STAND to see him in any sort of discomfort. It's so dumb of me to willingly put myself further into poverty for someone who doesn't return even a fraction of the shits I give, but I can't seem to stop myself. I have to learn every lesson the hard way. And I would miss him so terribly if he wasn't in my life... Bleeeerg.

Another unrelated vent, I hate being touched unless I initiate it, and my other roommate came up to me yesterday and hugged me (fine) and then like, rubbed my shoulders while I was trying to do things. No! Stop it! I don't know if he just forgot how uncomfortable that makes me or if he was hinting at something else. If he does it again I have to say something, which makes me uncomfortable too because I always seem to hurt people's feelings when I tell them not to touch me. Lol

This is pretty much exactly what I wanted to say. I've always thought you were absolutely beautiful though and as someone who has actually met you, you are a super wonderful person in real life too and wish our visit wasn't so darn short.

Don't settle for less than you deserve and you deserve the absolute best. You deserve someone who has eyes only for you and doesn't just give you the time of day only when they have been drinking. You need someone who is passionate about YOU because you are so wonderful and absolutely WORTH being passionate about. It doesn't matter what your weight is, whether you have makeup on, etc... You are still you and if he isn't excited about you for who you are then he is not worth wasting your energy when there is someone else out there who will be (or may be already) ignited by how beautiful of a person you are inside and out.

My aunt is a raging, manipulative bitch and I can't stand her. :wall: :wall: :wall:

I read this yesterday and *jaw dropped*. I seriously want to PUNCH your aunt. This is my biggest fear about potentially having a service dog. My therapist thinks I would definitely benefit from having one, though I need to talk to the doctor more about the idea. My disability is invisible for the most part though my dermatillomania is a little less invisible since I tend to focus on picking at my face the most unfortunately. Still, I was talking with a family member that said I don't need a service dog and that it's as easy as stopping the picking. Anyone who knows anything about dermatillomania knows that it is just not that simple. And with my anxiety disorder... What happens when I have a panic attack and end up on the floor struggling to breathe. It's happened quite a few times when my phone wasn't on my person and I wasn't able to get help. I thought I was going to die a few times since I couldn't breathe. My family member's response... The doctors prescribe pills for that sort of thing so I don't need a service dog. Oy...

So ya I have been hesitant to proceed with talking to my doctor more about it even though Cricket shows the potential to make a great PSD with more training and she already recognizes when I'm about to panic which is a start. Already have a trainer experienced training SDs and PSDs that is willing to help me train her once I get the go ahead, but afraid of what people will say since I'm not blind and not in a wheelchair.

((((HUGS)))) You're welcome. You deserve it. And that could be, but I do think that says a lot. More than enough.

As long as you know?

Website says packages take 7 - 12 days to arrive... I talked to a customer service representative (it's been two weeks) and she says it takes 7 - 25 days. OH OKAY THEN.



Well, to be fair... they did kill Talisa, and Ned Stark Jr, neither of which apparently existed in the books (read somewhere that Talisa's character is pretty different from "Jeyne's"?). Okay no, it really is still is G. R. R. Martin's fault. Using the TV show to tie up loose ends, I guess?



That's the first time I heard about people being outraged about the violence! LOL that's ridiculous. HBO had never been shy about showing chopped off heads and blood in the show. Everyone I know was just majorly pissed that Robb died. To be honest, it's the Theon torture scenes and the close-ups on Jaime's arm stub that were the hardest to stomach for me.



Oh me neither. I'm angry at G. R. R. Martin because he's the reason we can't have nice things, but let's be honest - that's one of the things I love about the show/storyline.

Unless he kills Arya or Dany (I know book readers hate Dany, so shaddup). Then IT IS OVER.

Maybe.



They'll be back. We always come back. The show/story is too good xD Honestly I can see Game of Thrones gaining some new viewers from being at the top of the trending news and on every website this past week. Plus, I can see all the show watchers running out to pick up the books because "GODDAMNIT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?".



Maisy is adorable! I saw her and Sophie Turner's reaction videos and well... hers was really weird. Awkward.

Book 5? Oh man we won't be there for another 3 to 5 years at least. Considering they split Book 3 into 2 seasons.



Yeah, all the words :c

Haha and well, this is going to horrify you (I know CharlieDog yelled at me for this) but I DID browse through the books, but just to read the Arya and Dany parts :rofl1: And even then I sort of just skimmed them. So I know their storyline-ish. I've downloaded the audiobooks though, and while it's not quite the same experience, it's a lot easier for me because I don't have to put aside any time and can multitask while listening!



Aghh, that's what everyone is saying now! I think the theory now is that she was a spy, and she either fell in love or had a change of heart with her pregnancy. So the letter she was writing a few episodes back could have been to her family letting them know, but then it was intercepted by the Lannisters or whatnot. I want that theory to be wrong, too. Fine, Robb was being an idiot and broke an oath, but I thought their relationship was sweet. I liked Talisa's character.



Oh! Did you watch part of the show first and then read the books? Now I really feel like I should.



Those eyes :( Book readers are saying that in the book, at least he went down fighting and I wish they included that in the show... it would have eased the pain a little.



The Boltons are bastards xD



"SURPRISE, BOOK READERS! And you thought you knew everything!"



LOL You're the only person who's actually recommending that :rofl1:

Do you still watch the show though? I accidentally read quite a few big spoilers while reading a Wiki page on one of the characters, which is why ultimately I decided "screw it, going to download the books and just read their chapters!". I wish I didn't read those spoilers, but at the same time with all the GOT related pages I browse... it would have happened sooner or later. That and I have no patience or self restraint.
Finally caught up on GoT.

Even though I knew what was coming, it was gut-wrenching. Ugh.

Totally understand this. Magpie is far (I hope) from leaving us, but recently she has started to have moments of senility and slowed down so much. Some days I get so worked up about it.
You dont sound like a whiny idiot. I lost my heart dog 4 years ago in Oct. Cherish every moment you have with her. I only got to spend 4 1/2 years with mine. Every moment is a gift.
I have these moments a lot with Auggie and he's only seven. I don't have any real reason to freak out about it. But that sure doesn't stop me. =/ I think in a way it's almost normal. We know it's inevitable. Their lives are so much shorter than ours...
Thanks for being so understanding. Sometimes I'm calm and positive about it, just wanting to spend time with my girl. Other times I get worked up and frightened and obsessive. I just love this dog so frigging much it hurts.
I just wanted to say I love you and (((((((((HUGS))))))))))

You're amazing. Inside and out. Ridiculously gorgeous, when I see pictures of you smiling it's actually contagious. You're a wonderful example of a human being - compassionate, caring, snarky, witty, and fun.

This x 452725637.
Grace, you've always been gorgeous, plus just a seriously kickass person. When the "Why I love you" threads were around, yours was always one of the first names that popped into my head.
Please don't call yourself stupid. You're not.
I really wish I was better with words. Just ditto everything nolu and Skittle said and I <3 you.

[TMI WARNING]

OHMYGAWD like seriously. We are in the middle of f*cking more intensely than we have in weeks and I'm finally feeling good enough to go at it for hours and get dressed up and we are an hour in and still have loads more to do and way more drive and you ANSWER YOUR F*CKING PHONE?! ... And when it's your friend outside the house wanting to go to the gym, you actually GO?! So so so so hurt right now. And you expect to "pick up where we left off" when you get back. No thanks. My sex drive is ruined.

In a lot of pain today. My pelvis is completely out of alignment and tilted so far forward it's putting stress on my legs (and therefore feet) and lower back. Rhio thought it might be some nerve damage associated with it because when BeAu was trying to stretch me out my feet would go tingly/numb.

She was helping me put some pain patches on today and I commented on how it feels like sharp, needle like tingles whenever someone touches me. I haven't been able to keep my hands steady all week, either. Holding my fork, coffee cup, etc, and I just get muscle spasms or something. So now she's worried it might be more than just centralized in my back/hips and she's wanting me to go see someone about it all. (Nurse Rhio can get scary, by the way.)

But...boo. On top of it I have a sore throat and head cold again. Sometimes I wish I could just exchange for a different body.

SO PISSED OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Came home and the nanny and Winnie were eating pizza, watching TV and doing friggen' NOTHING but sitting there while she was on her phone, with Winnie in a diaper wet enough to hang to her damned knees. She made comments about having to change her diaper, her being "crabby" after Jon left, and was just snotty the entire way to drop her off. I wrote out a schedule of what to do when for a REASON, which is so I wouldn't come home to a trashed house and a kid who has watched TV all freaking day (which is exactly what I came home to!!!) !!! WHAT THE HELL ARE WE PAYING HER FOR?!

Also, I groomed a dog at work today who had me crying through the entire groom. She looked and acted just like my Wilma who was killed when I was 16. I felt like such an idiot, but it almost felt like I finally got to say goodbye to her. :'(

I'm sorry you are going thru that ... I hope it gets better soon.
