I think you're new here and it takes time to fit in... I've been here forever and I'm still not in the "popular crowd"... if there is one.

Yep, you're probably right and thanks.

I think we could just settle this once and for all by all of the members of the *popular group* stepping forward and posting. That way, we know who's who.

Also I dont know how the affect of travel will affect me either, I do know that loud sounds as of late have worsen my chronic headaches (If I do attend I will be wearing earplugs for health reasons, Not to avoid hearing the same setlist from previous nights

)

Good luck! Do the doctors know what is wrong yet or are they still doing tests. I think the only thing worse than actually being sick is being sick and not knowing what's wrong.

Adding to my health fun is that I have been bottle feeding 2 kittens whose Mother died after giving birth...They are now a week old and healthy, Couldnt think of any of the typical names I give our pets so I named 'em Missy (Near black calico) & Rufus (A reverse tuxedo-Meaning instead of white on black his fur markings are black on white).

Ain't life fun?

Anyone who cares for helpless little animals get an A+ in my book! Are you going to keep them?

Just me.

I'm kidding, of course.

Anyway - this thread - when you started part I and I PartII was (I also thought) just about airing stuff out - random thoughts - whatever - I don't know what triggered last night's deal with Lux & Co - glad I wasn't here because it's usually hard for me to stay out of that stuff...

But yeah - I, for one, appreciate what you've said in this thread - and like Amber said - all of us feel ignored from time to time....

And as someone else said, it's funny because no one seems to think they're in the "popular crowd" lol...so actually IS in it

Nope, don't speak Spanish fluently. We moved away when I was 2. I just fake it mostly.

I still think this thread is a good thing because it's always healthy to air things out instead of keeping them bottled up. Even if it's something like "I went to the store for a candy bar today", sometimes, you just have something to say and get shy about saying it to someone you know in everyday life. Even though this thread is filled with some anger or sadness, it's also filled with a lot of good things, too. When Estranged4Life said he was bottle feeding kittens, I couldn't help but think if it weren't for him and his wife, those kittens would starve. He just saved two lives! That's a big thing not to talk about. And, going back to what you originally posted, I agree that being single sucks sometimes. Sometimes it's a breeze and I'm really grateful I'm not tied down to some guy, but other times it does suck and you wonder if there really is someone you can connect with enough to hook it up for life. Is that even possible? Where do you begin to look? *They* say you'll find the person by fate, but how is that possible??? What if we f*ck up fate? What if come to some fork and go the wrong way? If I didn't have this going on, I'd be home thinking about this like you were. I know I would. I have. Is there such a thing as fate? Ok, I'm going for my walk now.

Ha-ha! I was going to do that, but you beat me to it.

It's discouraging, isn't it?!

I guess you can't take it personally... sometimes I'm tempted to respond to my own post to bump it back to the top of the page.

I've been a thread killer more than once too! And I'm relatively new here!

At first I was worried, but then I'm like, "well, someone has to have the last word,"

The worst is when you start a new thread, and it doesn't make it past the first page of responses. BUZZ KILL!

but my primary MD thinks it could be some type of tumor which is starting to impact some of my motor-skills...Whatever it is, it showed up clearly in the CT scan I had on May 3rd.

Thanks, I always take care of animals that may be considered helpless or abandoned. I have seen way too much death this year and I would rather see some life from now on.

Yep, I am keepin' the kittens
