whine time for me, this all started on Friday of last week, I woke up with my eye feeling dry and trouble breathing a little bit and when I got up, the right side of my face was all tingly and my eyelid felt droopy…naturally husband and I think, stroke? so we looked it up and I don’t quite fit the symptoms..called the nurse hotline, she thought it might be Bells Palsy and set my up with a an appointment later that day..in about an hour, my face has gradually gone to feeling almost normal but I go to the appointment anyway to see what this might be…doctor tells me he doesn’t think it is Bells but maybe ____ which I immediately forgot when the next thing he says is it could be MS….he then tells me he’ll consult with a neurologist and see what they think and I’ll get a call….
well the day goes by, no call and no call over the weekend….wait until 3pm Monday then leave a message with the system…no call again today but I have a message that basically says the neurologist has reviewed your chart but there’s no need for an MRI right now, watch your symptoms and call or come in if something happens….I called my mother and she told me that they often wait until it happens twice before a MRI is scheduled…..so basically they don’t know what happened but I’ll just have to wait and see if something else happens, eep….

4. September Raffle Prize 2022 AHD Male GriffinLet me start off by saying that I know many people have it worse off than me (many in this forum, even) but I feel like complaining…First, it was chronic depression and decades of various therapies and antidepressants. I coped, like many, with food and continued on with my life. Then, it was Type 2 diabeties which I managed as diet controlled for fifteen years. Ok, its doable. Next, in between complications of chronic lyphodema, I get hit with congestive heart failure. More bad news, more pills. Then my pulse jumps up – yep, now I have atrial fibulation (I know I’m spelling these words wrong; everything is underlined in RED) – more pills. Meanwhile the implications are piling up: heart attack, stroke, blindness, loss of limbs, vastly shortened life span,etc – such a cheerful picture. I’m taking so many medications that my dentist won’t prescribe antibiotics or pain meds after dental surgery – I have to go to Urgent Care and get an MD to prescribe these short term helpers. Then, the mild tremors in my hands, that I have been complaining mildly to my GP about for years (“Its nothing; don’t worry about it”) worsens. A visit to a Neurologist and its confirmed: Parkinson’s Disease. More drugs and complications; the drugs that will minimize the tremors now will, with long term use, result in more uncontrolled movements later! Parkinson’s has no cure and if the other things don’t get me the Parkinson’s will. Last Monday, I got diagnosed with an admittedly minor problem – a large hernia on my abdomen. (Larger is better according to my GP).
Ok, I’m done. Where do I get off this merry-go-round?
Thanks for letting me whine….
You poor thing! Hugs! Yes, someone ALWAYS has it worse off than we do, but your problems still count and it’s OK to be frustrated about them. I’m sorry to hear about the Parkinson’s on top of everything. You’re a lovely lady, and U hope things start to look up for you. If you ever need help on the weekend, I don’t live that far from you, so feel to drop me a line. Hugs.

HUGS to all you guys, and the hope that things will get better for all of you! My prayers and good thoughts!
I’m worried about my little dog. She’s 15-1/2 yrs, so she’s lived a good life and has been a Great little Furbaby! Girlie (yes-that’s her name) is now showing real signs of decline that started about 6 months ago. Trouble eating & extremely picky on what she will eat, disc problem in lower back sometimes so bad she collapses, dementia like symptoms where she stand & stare and just wanders the halls and rooms in the house when not sleeping most of the day. Her tail is very rarely up or happily wagging anymore – it used to be ALL the time, now just stays down and droopy. We recently started her on pain & muscle relaxation meds to help with her back since she was panting constantly (showing she was in pain). She sometimes doesn’t realize she needs to poop until she is doing it. She has gotten somewhat better with having the meds and a new food from the Vet which she seems to love and eats a lot better.
But, I still believe that my Hubby and I will need to make a hard decision in the near future, just don’t know when. 🙁IN SEARCH OF MY NEXT GRAILS:

4. September Raffle Prize 2022 AHD Male GriffinFirst of all some people are just plain stupid and nasty, whether they are related to you or not. The fact that they are related to you though makes what they said even more inappropriate and immature to talk to you like that. I have had people disagree with me on facebook a lot and say nasty things and I just deleted them too and went on with my life. It is normal to get upset but don’t let it get to you. They don’t deserve your emotions! Just because they are related to you doesn’t mean you have to like them or talk to them or see them again if you don’t want to. They don’t deserve your company if they talk to you like that! I don’t know most of my extended family and don’t really care if I ever really meet them or get to know them. You can find great friends and people to love that are not related to you in any way but who will treat you like family because they love you for you. If you get married, don’t worry about your relatives. You can do what you want with your life without having to worry about people like that! I hope you do meet someone great you can marry and maybe their family will be great too!

Society brainwashes us in thinking that because people are family, we need to put up with them.
Wrong.
If these people weren’t family, would they have become friends? Would you even talk to them? Think on that and forget the guilt.
Go for a road trip for a personal visit with your grandparents. Enjoy your car, enjoy the way you live your life and ignore the ones who can’t accept that you don’t share their opinion.

I host the feedback lists, which are maintained by drag0nfeathers.
http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmThanks guys, I really appreciate it, it’s been a crazy rough week (the same day I wrote this one of my teeth decided to SHATTER while I was eating well cooked spaghetti of all things and I don’t have health insurance so that was a little expensive, then my mom had to go in for a medical procedure – but everything with that turned out for the best – I haven’t mentioned it anywhere out of respect for her because she doesn’t like people talking about it but she is having some health issues but her procedure went okay) and your guys’ words help make it a little better. My facebook is a lot quieter now and feels much better; the only people left there are people who care and the kid who made the snotty comment is really trying to be nice (and spell better even! He really listened to me telling him that instant messaging jargon is not okay.) He’s doing a good job and I appreciate that he’s trying. There still might be a couple of people to defriend in the future but none of them have really attacked me and they’re easy-ish to ignore most of the time. During the election one tried to argue with me and I flat out told her that I didn’t want to argue with her because I care about her and she didn’t press it, so that’s good, I think we’re probably cool.
It’s crazy! 🙁 I’d heard about how you don’t have to like family before (some of my cousins had a not-so-great father whom they are estranged from and they told me that someone sharing DNA does not mean you have to respect them) and I even have a character who lives from that perspective (if you watch my art stuff, he’s Ki – he lives most of his life believing himself orphaned and has no use for any blood family) but I have never personally encountered it until now. I’m still kind of feeling weird about the fact that it’s okay to dislike Angry Cousin and avoid him but I think I’ll get over it. I’m afraid to meet him in real life but my dad pointed out that Angry Cousin is actually pretty vile. (My dad was looking at his FB page and it’s just FULL of negativity and nastiness. I don’t need that.) And now that I think about it it’s true that friends can feel more like family than blood family. After I left my buddy in Texas and lost sight of her I was actually depressed for ages. I probably cried my eyes out for like half an hour following losing sight of her at AUS airport. We’ve now made plans to go on a Pacific Northwest roadtrip in 2017 and there’s also other friends that feel closer to me than blood family too. I mean, I feel closer to you guys than a lot of the people who are related to me, because you guys talk to me much more often. I’m really grateful for the internet, because thanks to it, you can have friends worldwide.
Today I drove my car for the first time without stalling even once and I can definitely say that while I’m still learning and still likely to stall, driving standard is getting MUCH easier. (I can now think about things other than the clutch constantly while doing it!) Yesterday and this morning I had to drive my dad’s van again which I learned most of automatic and my basic driving on and it was AWFUL. So stiff, so slow to react – my little car has a LOT more pep and is a LOT more fun! I think the conversion from automatic driver to standard is almost complete! 🙂
But anyway just thank you for your words everyone, they’ve really helped my weird stressful week be a teensy bit better. 🙂

Excellent!
Trivial whining but I have to get this off my chest….
Some guy walks past me and says, “You is fat. Sh**!” I don’t know the guy, I’ve never seen him before, and I never said anything to him. I don’t know what his definition of fat is, but I think he needs to get his eyes checked and go to school. He’s the product of poor parenting. Besides, I was wearing a shapeless, baggy coat. Geeze, I wish I was more quick witted. I might have replied, “My dog farts more intelligent sounds than the ones coming out of your mouth.”
People just naturally, subconsciously hate me. I never have to say a word. Bullying NEVER stops at high school. This kind of stuff happens to me all the time. It’s like there’s a negative force at work trying to bring me down all the time. I’ve always been a natural born victim. I’m tempted to burn some sage and wear some crystals or something. I need this negative energy to go away. It’s like vultures on a carcass. They just keep picking and picking and picking until the only thing left is a bitter shell of a woman. Happy freakin’ holidays!
Anyone else deal with this kind of thing?
I need to whine. Today has been a crappy day. First, the ex’s wife tells me (last Sunday) I need to pay a balance for my son’s dental procedure. No biggie. It wasn’t that much. So I request the statement for my records and she tells me she will send it out Monday. Monday comes and no email. I wait a few days And then on Wednesday I call the office and have them send it so I can get it paid. I send her an email saying I got the invoice from the dentist office and everything looks fine and I will send payment the next day. Then this morning I got a nasty email about how I need to stop interfering and trust that she will get me the info and if I would rather cover Everett on my insurance then feel free….It really made me feel like nothing I do is right. All I wanted to do was pay my portion in a timely manner. And then, on top of that, I was super excited to go visit my sister for some company and on my way there my car completely loses power. Thankfully I was able to pull off to the side of the freeway with no accident. Hours and a tow later I find out that my timing belt broke and damaged the valves in my engine. So now I have to get a new car too. This year has not been a good year. I really hope 2016 can be better for me. I’m not sure how much more I can take. 🙁 Deep breath…
Sorry to hear that Dragoneer_88. Some people are just mean for no reason and take it out on other people because they feel bad about themselves. It usually doesn’t have anything to do with the person they pick on except that you happen to be there. I do think sometimes if we feel bad or negative ourselves, that we can attract more of the same energy from other people so energy clearing could be helpful maybe. My herbal teacher would use sage to smudge places (burning it to get rid on negative energy in places and around people).
I am also sorry to hear about your car and everything LuvsDragons. I think a lot of people tend to get more stressed this time of year and take it out on other people. And that sucks about the car. Hopefully you can get your car fixed or get another one that’s affordable. Our car is also in need of several repairs and I am just hoping it lasts through the winter as I have no way to buy a new one myself unless I get more money in that I can save up.

I have a whine too in that I had an upsetting night to say the least. I got a new laptop a few days ago as my old one died but I decided to sell it to raise more money for bills and Christmas and get another one later on. So I gave my mom the money and she deposited it to her bank account at a bank atm last night. Well today we went to buy some food for dinner and the card was declined which was weird. We checked her online banking to see why and there were 5 withdrawls on her account from a foreign ABM machine all done today while we were at home all day and had no clue. All the money in her account was gone! I was freaking out as that was all the money we had for Christmas.
My mom told me she saw a foreign lady standing around the bank lobby last night looking suspicious and she got a bad feeling about her but wasn’t sure why. Well I dont know if it was her but it looks like someone probably tampered with the bank machine and maybe used a skimming device to steal her card number and password. So my mom called her bank right away to cancel the card and explain what happened and spent an hour on the phone with them. At first all they said was that they would report it to their anti-fraud department and get back to her within 10 days. So then she talked to a manager and had to convince him to refund her money now as that was all we had for food, bills and everything else and wouldn’t get in anymore until the end of the month. So they finally agreed to do an overdraft on her account for what she lost and they still said the anti-fraud department would investigate and contact her next week.
So then instead of going to a Christmas concert at our church at 7 like we had planned, we had to race down to her bank branch to get a new bank card since they canceled the old one. So that took another hour and then we finally had dinner once she got the card and had some money on it. I was so upset. How could people do that, steal people’s bank account info and steal all their money before Christmas? I just couldn’t believe it happened to us! I had heard of it happening to people before but they said a couple years ago that all the banks were upgrading the machines and uping security measures so that people couldn’t tamper with machines in the future! I dont know how many other people might have had their info stolen too and lost money but the bank said they would check the machines and security cameras and I just hope it doesn’t happen to anyone else! Thank goodness the bank refunded the money or we would have had nothing for Christmas!

Thanks for the kind words, Kim.
Sorry to hear about the theft. What an aweful thing to happen right now. At least the issue is it’s half-way solved. It just boggles the mind how people can be so malicious and steal other people’s money. If they’d put as much effort into making their own money rather stealing other people’s money, maybe they’d worth the space and resources they take up existing on this planet. A lot of people have been getting their card numbers stolen at the gas pumps lately. I always pay inside, much to the annoyance of the clerks. Ha!
I hate it when people say, “It’s only money.” Yeah, it’s only money unless you don’t have any. All the sudden money becomes everything!
Best wishes getting finances back on track.
