Oh, my Allah! See what I did there? :P

Awww... That was really special! I love watching stuff like this. If everyone did this for one another, the world would be a very different place.

:LMAO: Those are awesome!!!

Happy birthday, Babycat!!!

Uh... You didn't leave an ew option?

WCM!! The tooth fairy!!! :ebert: Next year, I'm going to wear a blue shirt with a cord around my neck that is hanging a chicken off of it. I will be Chicken Cord on Blue. :7up: Who's Ron Jeremy?

We Yanks don't appreciate it when smarty-pants foreigners show they have a better vocabulary than we do. :tsk: la·con·ic ləˈkänik/ adjective (of a person, speech, or style of writing) using very few words. "his laconic reply suggested a lack of interest in the topic" synonyms: brief, concise, terse, succinct, short, pithy I'm not so much pissed, but saddened about the state of our society. Last night, coming home from taking the youngest Trick or Treating, (she was with her dad, thank Gods!) I turned up our street to find something moving/gyrating oddly in the middle of the road. There are people everywhere. I thought maybe it was some 'trick'. Nope. It was somebody's kitty that had been hit by a car. NOBODY FREAKING STOPPED TO HELP OR NOTIFY ANY OF THE DAMNED HOUSES RIGHT THERE. I pulled over and went to the first house. I knocked on their door and she came up with a bowl of candy. I looked at her and very quietly said "there's a kitty in the street." I didn't want her little boy to hear. She got really upset and told her husband to watch their boy, and she came out. I will never forget the sounds she made, or the sight of the kitty in the road as he was dying. :( This was her kitty, and then the husband came out as he her her cries. I tried to comfort her, and she asked me if I was the one, and I told her "no. I discovered him and I can't believe anyone would do this and not stop!" I told her how sorry I was, but I think she may think I'm the one that did this. I think I will buy them a condolence gift. This is a very hard thing to try and get out of your thoughts. It just really pisses me off that people were walking by this dying kitty and nobody was stopping. They looked at it and walked a wide berth around it.

Hi everyone! I had little cause to be nervous. After my initial exam, and showing the Dr. my X rays and my past medical records, she said she would take me on. I have a final mental evaluation today before they can start prescribing my medications. She's going to refer me to a scholarship program for OHSU to get more tests done to find out if I do have RA, Lupus or Fibromyalgia. After talking with me and asking about my life, she said "It sounds like you have your life in order, not many people can say that. I would love to start treating you and helping you out so you can do the things you love again." I about cried. They see I'm not depressed, but very much so missing my activities. As for the non narcotic avenues for pain management, they don't work. I've done 'cocktails' before. I've done 3 years of alternative and holistic healing, and nothing even comes close to touching this pain. All they do is either hurt me worse, make me very sick, or nothing at all. I tried just about everything and tried a narcotic medication after I was prescribed one for a bad migraine I was having one day. (my blood pressure went through the roof for stress and the amounts of pain I was in!) That's the only thing that helps. I have a 'cocktail' of non narcotic supportive meds to help. It works for me. I want nothing stronger. I don't even feel loopy on them. I feel normal. That's all I want. I want to feel normal again. I still have breakthrough pain, but it's manageable. Having hope for my loved physical activities again is so uplifting. Having someone that listens to you and doesn't say unprofessional/rude/disrespectful things is refreshing. :) Thank you all for the care. It really helped calm me.

Today I have an appt with a new Health Care Provider. She's got experience treating pain patients. I've been seeking assistance with the excruciating pain(the hardware in my spine from my accident is causing more trouble than anticipated!) now for the last 5 years. I do everything that I'm told. I follow the rules. I take care of myself. I don't drink, do drugs, and I try to exersize as well as eat healthy. I keep processed foods down to a bare minimum, and eat whole. I would like to eat clean too now that I've made eating whole a habit. The last Nurse Practitioner I had yelled at me for not wanting to be my drug dealer "I'M NOT YOUR f***ing DRUG DEALER!" She once said. The other one in that office said "You're fat. Of course your back is hurting you." And the last one wanted to place me on methadone. Hell. f***ing. No. What I was doing was working. I was doing it exactly as prescribed. Now, I'm with a Doctor that is a sports medicine practitioner I've just found out. He doesn't want to prescribe me anything and thinks that ibuprofen will do. He doesn't want me comfortable enough to ride my horse or my motorcycle or do other such dangerous activities. Well, now I'm in so much pain that sleeping isn't happening, and it's wearing thin. He's also super expensive and I'm paying him to do nothing for me. Out of pocket. I have no insurance. This new NP will hopefully listen to me, see my xrays of my spine, see what I've been through and also help me figure out the widespread pain and flare ups that I've been having. My joints hurt. They get so inflamed that my skin turns red around them, along with every other factor that points to fibromyalgia. I have 100% of the markers. I'm nervous, and I don't want to get yelled at. But, if I don't stand up for myself, nobody else will. I guess I just keep looking for someone I can afford and that will help. Does anyone have any words of wisdom?

That is one of the coolest workout shirts I've ever seen!

That is really cool! :ebert: I'm stealing this. ;)

What Janie said!

That's actually what I was going to say, but I know that if Alex ever actually held my hand I would be a blubbering mess. HA! If Alex held my hand... idk what I'd do. I think I'd probably have a death grip with both my hands on his one hand and scream about how much I love Rush. I would try not to pull his arm off. Just kidding! I would watch and smile, maybe wink and be coy. I don't get super 'fangirly' with people. The most fangirl action I gave was when I met my PCT Hero, Toots Magoots.

That just made me laugh harder than it should have!! :LMAO: Oh!! HAHAHHA!!!! I didn't realize my double entendre there!!!! :LMAO: :spitwater:

I think he forgot something at home... Someone took his back out for a walk!!! :spitwater:

I give some of the women here electric toothbrushes. :D You can have a bright and happy smile.

Awww... Yeah, those things suck. I've been rooting around my photobucket account, and it's been healing yet painful. I had two kitties that I miss horribly. The one was super attached to me. He ran off when that psycho man lived with me, and the other one I took to someone I thought was going to be a good home, and he never saw the kitty again. :( I looked at those pics today and cried. I cried for the lost companionship of the kitties, but for the loss of myself in all of this shit hole with everything that has happened. The loss of my childrens baby-ness that I missed out on due to healing and depression.
