RE: Say Something...Names Are Changed To Protect The Innocent Part II

I never wanna feel that way again!!

You & your siblings...

Thanks hon. We still have a relationship. I'm just not extremely emotional in front of or with them. I wasn't even at my mom's funeral... til the darned bugle & gunshots!

RE: Say Something...Names Are Changed To Protect The Innocent Part II

I'm there with ya mf. Only, my friend mixed me some concoction (sp?) with all the leftover stuff she had sitting around & DIET coke!

Before that, she gave me a Mike's Hard Lemonade. The last time I had that, I was hugging the porcelain goddess!!!

RE: Say Something...Names Are Changed To Protect The Innocent Part II

Soon time to go again. My friend's doing her daughter's hair. I'm in her office, stealing time on the computer.

RE: Say Something...Names Are Changed To Protect The Innocent Part II

I'm OK. Just a bit deflated this evening, is all.

You & your siblings...

It's not that I don't love my brother & sister, in a way. I just don't feel very close to them. It's as though they look differently at me than each other. I know I'm gonna sound stupid when I say this, but I'm gonna say it anyway. I've succeeded... they haven't, in their eyes. I think they're jealous. I've beat the odds. I didn't let the past drag me down. I allowed it to make me stronger, ya know?

However, I do know that family is important. My mom made sure we knew that. But I only see them when I need to. And they only call me when they need something.

RE: Say Something...Names Are Changed To Protect The Innocent Part II

RE: First kiss

Yes, I remember. I was 14 & he was 13. He was a real hottie... looked like a surfer dude! Unfortunately, he kissed like a wet towel!

RE: are you on this world......

You & your siblings...

Don't you ever wonder how you could've possibly been raised by the same parents?? I mean, my biological parents were still together til I was graduating from high school. They both raised us. No difference in upbringing.

But I do believe genetics play a huge role in a person's personality. I say this because of what I've seen in my own child. I raised her with my morals & values. Still, she was showing such traits of her father! As she gets older & realizes right from wrong, she is soooo much better. But I just couldn't believe how an absent parent can still influence a child's personality!

With that said, I believe my brother & sister are more like my mother & I'm more like my father.

RE: THE DAM% GAME

Dam% isn't it 6:00 yet??

You & your siblings...

I have a wonderful network of friends, as well. That's another thing with my family... they never approve of my friends. Whenever my sister lashes out at me, she tells me to go to my snotty friends who only care about money. She says such hurtful things. The thing is no matter what, she's still my sister. How do you turn your back on your siblings?

What bothers me is that I'm afraid that when we've all grown old & they need something, they'll come knocking at my door for help. It's kind of like the story of the worker ant & the lazy ants. They'd better not come to me for help. I've worked hard.......

RE: THE DAM% GAME

Well, I've been waiting for you all dam% day!

RE: THE DAM% GAME

Yes, I'm still working, dam% it. Can't you tell?

RE: Anyone owns a clasic car?................

My aunt had a '67 Mustang convertible. I was hoping so bad that she'd save it & give it to me when I got my license... but she didn't...

RE: THE DAM% GAME

Dam% woman, I've been wondering where you were!!

RE: whats that youre eating?

Just ate part of a 3' submarine sandwich I bought for my daughter's baby shower the other day. And a bowl of vegetarian vegetable soup. Not sure what's for dinner yet. I'll figure that out when I get home.

You & your siblings...

Do you get along really well with your siblings? Or are you the black/white sheep? Do you semi-get along with them but can't really identify with them?

I have an older brother & a younger sister. I find myself to be the odd (wo)man out in my family. My brother went to college, was on the dean's list, got his bachelor's degree & won't even use it! He works odd jobs here & there. He has a wonderful wife. He got very fortunate with her.

My sister, in high school, wasn't a straight A student, but tried. She held a job for quite a while & even bought her own car before she graduated. Now, she has 3 children, in school & doesn't have a job. This wouldn't be so bad, but her husband can't work right now because he just had heart surgery. They're struggling like crazy, but still she doesn't even think about going back to work!

I can't even IMAGINE not having my career!! I've been working for the same organization since my daughter (now 21) was a baby. She's never known me to work for anyone else. And when I quit one job, it was only to move up to a better job. My motto's always been, "Move forward, not backward".

My mother always took credit, saying she pushed me & not the others (which she does have a point). But I don't understand people who don't feel the need to do what they HAVE to do to make ends meet! I've been through a bad marriage & still supported my family. Left my ex & still supported my daughter, even with next-to-no help from him. It was what I HAD TO do.

Years ago, my former boss asked me, "How did you end up in that family?" My reply was a shrug of the shoulders & "Left on the doorstep?".

Actually, I do feel for them. But when I say something or suggest something, I'm yelled at for it. They look at me as a snob because I've worked so hard & gotten farther. Is that soooo wrong??

I was just wondering if you might find that you or another of your siblings is/are the "different" one in the group.

Afternoon, Cj!

RE: Do you own a animal?..............Dog, cat or fish.................or...........?

My cat, Minnie, & I are roommates. But I must say she has the run of the house while I'm gone... which is a lot. When I bought my home, I asked my daughter & her fiance if I could have her. They hesitantly gave her up to me, because he had given Minnie to my daughter as a gift. However, the boys are too rough with her & she ended up scratching the youngest's eye pretty badly. He's fine & I got the kitty! She is sooooo naughty though!!

RE: Have U Ever ?????????

RE: 7777 OK WHAT DO YOU DO 7777

What real harm can actually come from it if you don't take it too far? It's between 2 consenting adults, after all.
