and watching bad cop shows on CourtTV. Can't beat that.

How's your Christmas Eve?

[LeftyFingerPop]

18. Dull and lonley here.

I'm sure you heard the acronym on how to remember the Great Lakes....HOMES. That's about all i know about the Great Lakes. :P

Enjoy your surfing!

[TheCentepedeShoes]

15. Watching the full moon

come up through the trees. Cool.
Mr 'pede is watching the SD/Denver game.
I'm in the 'puter room/spare bedroom with a Canadian and H2O.
Gave doggie his Xmas present, a new natural bone. He's so happy he actually let us eat dinner without drooling over hubby's plate.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all !!
:toast:

[LeftyFingerPop]

19. Sounds alright!

Merry Christmas to you also.

[RainDog]

42. Couldn't lasso the moon

--this is the best I could do-



Moonrise. I kept trying to get a picture but my hands were shaking because of the cold.

[femmocrat]

24. The moon has been spectacular the past few nights.

Perfect to light Santa's way. Merry Christmas, CentepedeShoes!

:hi:

[SPKrazy]

20. Started out good

in fact excellent seeing my son sing and play bells in the choir at his church.

then it hasn't ended, but it took a turn for the shit.

But you know what? It is just FUCKING STUFF!!! and that is all it is. Stuff can be gotten again and again.

So, maybe it isn't such a big deal anyway after all.

So Merry Christmas Philboy...

gotta wrap some presents

and what not...

:hug:

[LeftyFingerPop]

21. Hang in there SPK...

I'm in a bad way. I hate holidays like this. :-(

[SPKrazy]

25. well don't let it get your head all

messed up man

this too shall pass...

I'm not too fond of it either.

but it is like the sun, it comes regardless of whether we are ready for it or not, and we can make the most of it and focus on the good things, or dwell on the bad things.

I've spent the last 45 min dwelling on something that pisses me off, but like I said, it is JUST FUCKING STUFF!!!! and hell, my lack of stuff, means I have less to move when i have to.

Don't know what she's gonna do if she has to move, all that stuff.

:hi:

[LeftyFingerPop]

26. Too late for not...

messing up my head.

I would like to offer you reassurance about how it will pass, because it certainly will.

I'm trying to focus on the good...but I am in the depths of a terrible depression.

Fuck.

I hate to complain...but Jesus...this fucking sucks and blows.

[auntAgonist]

28. hey philboy ..

I have no clue what's going on, but I feel compelled to send you this .

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

better days ahead as they say.


sincerely...

[Maraya1969]

31. I'm really sorry Philboy. If it helps I feel like shit too.

I can't believe I am along for ANOTHER CHRISTMAS. My boyfriend and I just broke up about 2 weeks ago. That happens a lot for some reason. I'm not even that upset about breaking up with him, I just am so alone now. And I have friends but I don't want to call anyone.

Anyway I up my meds when it gets to bad.


This will pass for both of us. :pals:

[SPKrazy]

32. meh, screw it

it may be stuff

but i'm tired of being diplomatic about everything.

:grr:

sorry you are depressed, i'm fucking pissed.

great way to spend xmas eve, eh?

[LeftyFingerPop]

35. I'm tired of being diplomatic too...

and I'm fucking pissed. I am the youngest in the fucking family. and my whole fucking family is feuding. I'm sick as a fucking dog, yet I am the one who is relied upon to take care of my elderly mother because the others have the luxury of living out of town and can put her out of their minds.

My fucking phone rings about 5 times a day and it is my mother crying and asking me why I don't visit her at the nursing home every hour when my siblings never see her. I am depended upon for everything, because I am viewed as the "strongest", so everyone just washes their fucking hands. I get support from one lovely person who is many miles away from me, but no other support. I can barely get out of bed some days and I am relied upon with no goddamn help because everyone else chooses to live their own fucking lives and to hell with everything else.

My brother has fallen upon hard times and has been living in some fucking motel room with his family, and I am over-ridden with guilt because when I try to help, I never get a phone call back.

I can't live as a normal person because I am ill, yet I am expected to so everyone else can have their lives. As long as everyone else is happy.

Fuck it sideways.

:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

[SPKrazy]

37. yeah, that sucks

you don't have to be the one that everyone depends on, it is possible to say no

it also very fucking hard to do so.

ya gotta take care of philboy though

all that stress isn't good for your health

and you sound like you got a lot of that.

man for what its worth, i think you are a good guy and you don't deserve to be used like that.

your bros and sis's are just taking the easy way out and letting philboy do it because they believe he will.

however, it isn't all HIS responsibility to take care of things.

mama's in a nursing home and they can take care of her

your bro and his family have to return calls to get your help, if you want to help them.

it's about making it a choice to help and be helpful rather than feeling like you've been declared that person (because you have) and then having great resentments about it.

all easier said than done my friend.

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

rail away back at me, I can take it

:hi:

[femmocrat]

22. I'm here for a little while at least.

I have done all I can do today. Tomorrow is another day.

Merry Christmas Eve, philboy. :hug:

[LeftyFingerPop]

23. The same to you femmocrat...

and thank you :hug:

[Joe Fields]

33. I'm here, but

it seems almost no one wants to talk to me. I even took a shower today.

[S n o w b a l l]

34. Well honey...

I'm here if I can help with anything.

:loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

40. My dear philboy!

I'm here, sweetie!

My night is going well, though I'm quite tired...

Busy day with the family over...

But a lovely day too...

I hope you're doing well tonight... :hug:

[Inchworm]

41. Hello, is there anybody in there?
