It sounds like a vicious circle. You're not "bad", you're trying to cope the best you can right now...and that's okay. I have days like that too. When I do, I just tell Gene about it. Actually I usually feel much better, and less depressed when I'm on VJ, so he knows this is where I go to feel closer to my other "home". Don't ever equate what domestic duties you do at home to your value and worth, as a person or wife.

Big Hugs m'dear

Carla

Aww thanks that's sweet of you

Seriously I used to be this girl, working 40 hours a week + overtimes and week-ends sometimes, going to the gym, and my appartment was always clean and perfect....And I at the same time I was playing my online game, going to be at 1-2 am and walking up at 7am. I have always been the kind of person that doesn't need much sleep.

Now the last few months. I am at home all day, doing virtually nothing. Sometimes it takes me a week to get through the appartment. I went training 2 times at our free gym. I took 7 lbs (that's a lot for me, being only 5' tall) I fall asleep at 9-10 pm and wake up dead tired at 8 am in the morning.... I just don't recognize myself anymore. I need a jod, I need something to get me out during the day, something to re-energize me. I mean I am the happiest woman in the world when it comes to our couple, but I am just so plain bored and stressed about finding a job.

I am much better with my attitude though, I don't get mad at him anymore for stupid reasons, and when I do I get over it in few minutes. It's gets better everyday.

Yeah sometimes it feels good to read what's going on here. We are all together in this and you are the only persons that really understand what I am going through

I love you all !

Edit: Ok let's not make this thread about my bad days



but what's the topic anyways

OFF! Click to view attachment

Okay, how do I get my images to stop posting with that stupid "reduced" stuff in it? I just want a normal picture.

Well said Carla

upload your pictures into an account with photobucket or imageshack....

I used imageshack but I keep getting the thumbnail.

Yeah I know what you mean krikit. I use photobucket and sometimes it shrinks it here too. Last time I thought, ok, what does it want - so I reduced the picture lower than the percentage it claimed it was reducing it to - no difference, it just reduced it further haha.

you are probably grabbing the wrong code...

yup, discovered your problem... you are grabbing the code for "Thumbnail for forums" if you scroll down the page a bit, you will see the code for "Hotlink for forums" that is the code you want to use....

Well I tried out the photobucket ones, there is only one code that works here using the insert image utility.

hmmmmmmmmmmm

you don't need to use the "insert image utility" with photobucket.. just copy and paste the "IMG" code directly into your post....

weeeeeeeeeee - are we having fun yet



Yeah, but it makes me feel like I am supporting vj and using the utilities provided haha

WHOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!!!! The Smarties are for YOOOOUUUU!!!

Thanks Marilyn!!

I prefer M& M's but thanks

I am here to serve

Well, the Smarties were because you were so smart, Marilyn. And they contain chocolate. But let's see... the only thing I can think of with M&M's is that they melt in your mouth and not in your hand. I guess that's just as good.

aahhh, I see... are you calling me a smartie pants??

They fly now ?

This represents the mighty soaring Canadian dollar

Krikit, even though I was no help, if you get Marilyn some M&M's can I have the smarties?

Unfortunately I could not find any M&M's. I did, however, manage to become an M&M!

Darned site won't allow the connection. Try http://us.mms.com/us/ and then click on Become an M&M.

haha, that was fun, here I am:

ah cold beer. nice place ya'll got here

Yee-haa!

eh?

Not me

Gotcha

By the way, I have never since so many people with deer shirts and deer stickers on their car since I moved in the US...now if that is not hillbilly....

Here I am at last year's St Patrick's Day parade!

where is that? are you in texas?

Probably Kansas.

must be them durn missourians swimming across the river again.

Actually I am in Illinois, but close enough to the border of Wisconsin and Indiana

Hey! I'm from Missouri!!

Carla

i expected almaty to find this

Never seen him around here

He is scared of the Canadians.

No no no.... almaty happens to be a dear friend - one of the most compassionate and loving VJers around.

i dunno why, ya'll a pretty friendly bunch


obligatory eh!

I wasn't afraid of Canadians until I met my mother-in-law.

j/k. She can be feisty but she's also a lot of fun.

feisty canadians. that could be fun

Yeah, I don't know him but he seems like a very nice person, I was just funnin. That's my western talk for the day.

I need a translator in here!! Apparently Calgary isn't far enough west

i can do that too. used to confuse the tar out of them germans when i lived in europe.

Hey has anyone here ever used a Quija board? IR5 mentioned it in another thread which made me think of it - and also confirmed what I think he does in his spare time, but I digress - sooo have you used one, what was the result, good fun or are you talking to the spirits out there!?

My roommates in college broke out a Ouija board one night and had most of the dorm in our room. Apparently it was going quite well and they were "talking" to something or someone until I walked into the room, and it started to flip out and start spelling out the word hate over and over. I told them -- ask him (apparently it was a civil war soldier or something) if he likes me. The immediate answer was no and the word hate over and over. I then told them to ask it why ---they spelled out c-h-r-i-s-t-i-a and then it went nutty again. I laughed and walked out, and apparently they had a hard time finding anything else to talk to after that. I am convinced to this day that it was reacting to the fact that I am a Christian. My roommates did not know at the time that I was, and I did not tell the people operating the stylus. That has been my only experience with a board.

Creepy.

My last encounter with a Ouija board (when I was a teenager) conjured up "a murderer". That was enough for me to not want to "play" anymore.

Yes, some fascinating experiences with a friend who got a lot of valuable messages and information. As she is writing a book about her experiences she has asked me not to 'give away' any of the information she received; suffice to say it was enlightening, inspiring, and positive. For more information about what information can be conveyed through a Ouija Board - and 'channeling' - google "Messages from Michael", "More Messages from Michael" and the Michael Teachings (not Arch Angel Michael, btw). It is eye-opening. I view myself as a student of the Michael Teachings.

You often 'get' back what you bring to this medium, so if you approach it as a game you get mischievious and playful energies; if you approach it as a positive learning tool/communication tool with an intent for a positive, inspirational experience, you will get a more positive 'teacher' responding. If you ever get a message offering fear or hate or negativity, say goodbye to that energy and let it go - it is not anyone you are interested in talking with; they have nothing to offer you. The Ouija Board is a focusing tool, nothing else; it is how you use it that makes it a positive or a negative experience.

Hmm yes perhaps, unless you don't believe in spirits! It is sold in the toy department, so most people look at it that way, but I'm sure everyone has had some experience with one.

We've used it a few times (my Sister and I). It's funny when you are with a group of people there is usually that - are you moving it, NO! are you moving it!?

The last time we used one we were at my Aunt's house. She lives in an old Victorian house and we were sleeping up in the attic, the room looks like something out of a movie, the old dolls, brass beds etc (pretty but spooky depending on your mood haha).

Anyway I don't remember the details but I ended up getting freaked out and that was the end of that session.
