It has been going on for almost 2 years and I am so exhausted from the injections, side effects from them, and just the sadness I feel everything I get my period. I am at work with a really bad headache and acid reflux. It is going to be long shift.

I am going through something similar so I can relate. Please turn the phone off and take care of yourself. Literally, everything can wait but not your health and well-being. I try to be very black and white about things right now...is someone going to die if I don't do this? No, then I am going take care of myself. Big hugs.

I am laughing my head off with this thread. Thanks burningfeather for this. But you have to keep giving us snippets from the letter throughout the year.
I sort of want to do something like this for my sister and brother but my brother would have stopped at Jan.2nd and text me that I am crazy. My sister, like burningfeather's DH, would have a WTF face and text me that she's confused.
Unfortunately, I don't have time to do this and my days are pretty boring too.
I want to know these people from the letters. Any other info about them?

That's a great idea. I buy tons of stuff with intentions to make cards for specific family members and friends, but it usually it does not happen. I get too busy and end up not making the cards in time for the occasion. I do make cards that I have made with nobody in mind or trying a new technique out...those actually get used up when I need a last minute card. I am a perfectionist with sending out cards to my loved ones...which I am trying overcome because most of my family and friends have loved receiving them and think they are wonderful, when I do send them out.

I find it hard to believe that they would let their kids go to college even under parental supervision.
I just read that they have 2 healthy and leashed trained dogs put up for adoption. So it was possible for them to feed and take care of pets but not their own children. Why? They intentionally starved and abused their children. Interestingly, the usual first signs of psychopathy is torturing and killing pets and other small animals.
This whole situation upsets me tremendously, and I am hoping that the children get all the help and support they need because they went through hell in the past few years (with some younger ones, their whole lives), and will probably go through another type of hell to recover from this (if they can).

Samantha25, I think it would be funny to know DT's accurate weight too. I want to know how he can deny it if he weighs more than 239 lbs.
I want journalists to show him evidence of his lies in the interviews with him. It won't happen since he refuse to be interview by anybody else than Fox News or media outlets that are favorable to him.

Sorry to hear about your friendship with a co-worker, LavenderLayoutLady. Especially, the non-supportive friends, who were not there after your divorce from your husband. I am learning to let go of people, who don't make any effort in friendships. I have been a "people pleaser" for most of my life so it is hard to let go of friends, who I no longer have anything in common with anymore, and not to blame myself for the ends of them. Also, I, agree that with the peas that sometimes, life changes, and people move out of your life.

I realize that I'm envious of people who have longtime friendships because I think I am a bad friend or have high expectations of friends. I have had three close friends who "ghosted" me out of their lives...no closures. Also one, who I have been friends with for over 12 years, who just stopped returning any of my phone calls, and emails. I had an ex-boyfriend who broke up with me because "I was too much to handle" because I was dealing with my depression. I have to wonder how good a friend I really am. Thanks for reading this.

Very interesting. Would you explain to me how people make money from a YouTube channel? I thought most scrapbooks/cardmakers made most of their money from their affiliate links and only a small percentage by the number of views and subscribers. Our scrapbooking industry is small so the highest number of subscribers is most likely 350,000 (Kristine Warner) while in the make up industry, people have millions of subscribers. I think this change in policy may affect a few of scrapbooks I watch on youtube.

Do you ever miss friendships that you had in high school? My fiance has a friend he has known since elementary school...me on the other hand, don't even have a friend I have known since university. I moved away from my hometown to go to graduate school and lost contact with most of my friends. I can get in contact with a couple of my high school friends but each time I do, I realize how much I don't know about them and how we do ; have much in common anymore. I miss friendships or friends who no longer exists. I am always envious of people who have been friends since childhood.

I realized this past Christmas that I have limited family word stamps, like "brother" , "uncle" , "father" etc. I have a couple of stamp sets with "mom" and "sister" . Any family words stamp set suggestions? I would love to get some with extended family ones to and different fonts. Thanks.

Happy birthday! I hope you have a wonderful time with dinner and a movie. BTW, if you tell The Keg, it is your birthday, you get a free dessert. We went there both times for fiance 's parents birthdays. So happy to hear that Spencer is able to say a few sentences. When I'm back, I want to definitely take you out for a belated birthday dinner and visit Spencer.

I am so sorry for everything Spencer, you, and your family are going through. Can you ask his attending doctor for a referral to a social worker. We have 2 on our unit at South Health Campus (Calgary) that help patients and their families get access to community resources, such as housing and financial aid. There has to be someone at Foothills that can provide some support to you. Talk to the nurses because some may know where you can access resources or at least give you some direction to accessing them. Also, you can contact the Distress Centre. They provide free counseling and they may be able give you information about resources available to you. They are a 24 hrs hotline. Once again, my heart goes out to you and Spencer.

I love giving Christmas gifts. I love coming up with a "perfect" gifts for my family and spoiling them. I think presents are about things people "want" and not "need" . I want my family to know that they are loved. My family is not into Christmas at all while I was growing up. My siblings have children now so they are more into Christmas. Both my siblings told me to just get gifts for the children this year. Respecting their decision, I am not buying any presents for them and their spouses. I am not happy about this but that's life. I think people should just "thank" people who give them gifts, regardless of whether they like the present or not. It is the thought that counts. Also give people "ideas" of what you want...saying nothing does not help. My parents say they don't need anything for Christmas and birthdays all the time. What if I do want to give them gifts? I feel as though my family members don't want to bother getting gifts for others so they don't want to receive gifts either so there is no obligation to do so. Buying Christmas gifts are a chore for them. Anyways, I miss my ex-MIL who would have a big gift for you then a few small gifts...she was really into Christmas and I loved it.

I also have been trying to stay out of this thread but giving your opinion whether it is a "terrible idea or good idea" after hearing what the BP is or has been, IS discussing medications. In Canada, nurses DO NOT give "opinions" when it comes to medications unless it is a allergic/anaphylatic reaction. One person may view a nurse's "opinion" as an actual medical order, where the patient can say "the nurse told me it was OK" . Sorry, but no matter how well I know, I would NEVER tell you that it is OK to stop taking your medication over the phone, and it is protocol for a nurse to tell the patient to discuss it with doctor. The OP wanted the nurse to ask the doctor, who is NOT there, whether it is OK to stop her BP medication, I would tell her to schedule an appointment but if she does not want to then, I would leave the message for the doctor, and he or she can phone the patient back on Monday. IMO, if you don't like your doctor or feel comfortable with them, it may be time to get another. I know it may take energy and time to find one you trust but isn't your health worth it? Also the OP, who is too busy to get bloodwork done even after the MD office called twice in the past 2 days, is there a possibility that it is to YOUR benefit and health to make it a priority since your Dr's office thought it was important to call you twice to reminder you to do it? I would hope it is just NOT to "have the results". In Canada, most Dr's office do NOT call to remind you to do bloodwork if it was NOT important. Healthcare professionals usually do NOT have you get bloodwork "for the fun of it" .
I apologize for the long vent, but I have worked 6 days in row, where patients and family members "demand" stuff from me that is out of my registered nurse's scope of practice. Also, I do not have a "boat payment" to make, and most nurses are "not buying boats" because they have so much money.
Also RNs are not paid by how many patients the doctors see in hospitals and/or their offices. In Canada, RNs are paid hourly. If you think that nurses went into the profession to be rich, you are mistaken. We make decent living but we also deal with A LOT of "bulls**t" and "abuse" from patients, patient family members, doctors, and other health care professionals. My fiance makes twice as much as I do and in his opinion, my job is much harder than his.
Ok, getting off the soapbox now.
