Random Vents.....

I'd help... but I have a strong aversion for the man he's become. So seeing less of his face isn't a bad thing... ;)
 
My vent: I'm an admin assistant. I work at a contract research company. I am smarter than the people I support. Kill me. :(

(I hate my job.)

Ditto.....I remember when my mother died. I cried no tears at the funeral...Everyone was saying..."Be strong!"....and felt I should not show my emotions....I t was afterwards when I got back home that the tears came down like falling rain.....

Everyone is entitled to show their emotions, pain, even tears when something really hurts them. I admired my grandfather also and when he died, I was 600 miles away, so I missed talking to him before he died and letting him know how much I thanked him for raising me all those years!....

Life comes and goes....we have to accept the unevitable...And when I was in the hospital, I could see the worry and the pain from my 3 boys....Now, I do talk to them, off and on, about death and letting them know that the pain and tears is only human...let them out.

Find urself a little cornor in ur world and let ur emotions out...and talk to other people also, it helps a lot.

Thanks. My mom, now, wants to spend a lot more time with my brother and I. She was depressed, and tried to kill herself after my dad died, so I've been freaked out that one day I'd just find her dead. Now, she's been saying, over and over, that she's not going to do it, she's getting help. She has an agreement with her psychiatrist that she won't do anything. I'm still scared, but at the same time I trust her. I kinda have to. She talked to my niece about the fact that the recent string of deaths doesn't mean anyone else was going to die, and how it's normal to be scared and all.

I've been talking and trying to be reasonably put together. The funeral's Saturday, and who knows how that's going to be?

Thanks everyone. Reading all this helps. I'm so sorry, too, for your losses.

Red chili? If your lip's split, that sounds like it'd hurt!!

I like Burt's Bees, but then we don't have TOO severe weather where I am.
 
Goodness, I am beginning to feel lousy. Woke up with a scratchy throat, but nothing else. Sneezes started about an hour ago and now, the head is all plugging up. No fever, nothing else. Son is feeling the same, but he thinks it's allergies as we both feel better when we are outside. Daughter is the one all congested and stopped up. She is taking Robitussin. For our sake, I am hoping son & I do not have colds as we cannot take anything for it at all.

Knock on wood, Kristina...we all just about had the same thing and believe it was just January's allergies....No colds....It rained today (and wasn't supposed to, according to our hot-shot weatherman on TV)...and I've noticed some green slime on the ground, it's pollen from the trees. So I avoid all of it. My doggie goes out for her business, I take a towel and sort of dust her off...

I am having the same issues now...hope you feel better!
 
whe collecting a pizza from the shop tongiht i saw a hoh-deaf-wanna-be there , she's a community relations officer and it just stink seeing how warped this Deaf office actually employs the wrong kinds with more emphasis on match skills for cheapest money, (real assholes as employers _ive been told). Anyway, she is an unfreindly snob, so up herself, its plain to see that for her, that having this job as 'a paid position' is all about 'the much fangled "self-image". She prides herself as an important person to negotiate 'poor deafies' into jobs, but its real shit jobs like window cleaning....and she brags (I've seen this before) to hearing about how 'wonderful her job is' -saying how wonderful she is as an overcomer, geeeee I loathe the likes of her.
Her attitude is SHITTTTTT......i came away with pizza heading off home, thinking she doesnt deserve that job...as a hoh-wannabe-hearie-monster..it's like she's a parasite in both ways, Using her deafness to get employed (as an overcomer) and using us deafies to as 'easy/easier to deal with clients. Its got Nothing to with with a meaningfullness aspiration in being Deaf. its more about status and hiding from herself, and that is ugly, ugly UGLY.
