So..How is Everyone?..Drop in share a woe or joy.

[Alana_]

How are you ?.

Do we ask that enough and mean it? Or is it just something that rolls off the tongue with out any intention of listening?


So...my friend, how are you?

 

[Alana_]

I'll begin..

I'm good...the kids got their cards ( we always send each of them 2 or 3 secretly), I got my flowers, and had a couple of wonderful emails from friends. All told, it has, so far, been a lovely day. I hope it's the same for everyone else today and that your worries are small..

Have a wonderful day, and week everyone..

Hi Alana, Nice to hear you're having a nice day.

Mine has been ok. Got up at a reasonable lie in time of 10am. Had breakfast. showered and Myself and my wife and dog went to a place called The Dream, some 30 miles from our house. Never been before but it was very nice to see.

At - The Dream

Back home now, had a snack and watching sports for a lazy day and will have a nice Sunday roast dinner about 6pm.

 

[Alana_]

Hi redg, and thanks for posting..im glad you had such a good trip.!

Thank you for sharing.

 

[Kiwikitty]

Not having a great day.
Just got told my planned trip to Boston with my best friend for her birthday has been cancelled right after my boyfriend and I's celebration of Valentine's day was cancelled last night.
Weekend alone .

 

[Alana_]

Oh Kitty Im very sorry about that. That's a big let down twice over. I hope the coming days prove to be kinder to you. On the upside, if you're not going away, you can visit us here and we'll keep you company..

I know it's not the same, but I think we might be able to fill in the time for you if you visit. hugs.

 

[Kiwikitty]

Thank you Alana .
I appreciate the kind words.

 

[monique_minx]

Sorry to hear Kitty, I hate cancellations especially when it's something I'm looking forward to so I know how you feel darlin'! Hopefully you'll be able to make up the time with both your friend and your boyfriend later

I am not too bad for someone up at...wow almost 2am! I didn't sleep last night so I crashed around midday, slept til 10pm and threw my entire sleeping pattern out!

Pats self on the back

Good one
My mother has won the court battle for our house and my dad is forced to sell it, my family is under a lot of pressure at the moment and I'm under about half of it.
So if I have been down lately that is why and I'm sorry to everyone for being such a recluse but I needed to work through my emotions.
Ummmm...I rarely have good news to share but I always have a wonderful happiness about it because hell over high waters if I'm going to let my mother get under my skin!
To those of you that don't know, she's a harpy from hell and we can find no one to object to that yet!

Tough call Minxi..Break ups that get dirty can be a bitch. I'm so sorry the family home has been dragged into it, and what should be a precious place for a family to gather is to be sold..But you could try to remember that home is where the family is. I know that sounds preachy, and I dont intend to. But you'll be surprised in a while, when the dust has settled and you begin to gravitate again towards the parent you look up to most ( I think its safe to say that's your Dad), you'll find that home isn't too far away.

Best of luck though in the time ahead!

 

[monique_minx]

Thanks Alana I think we're all trying to remember that right now though mostly it's my dad that is my main concern at the moment because it's his hard work going down the toilet

Sighs and shakes my head

It's a few pages worth of explanation to my diary so it's all good, I have something to share it with Just thought I'd add my two cents to your neat little thread which is actually a wonderful idea because it's rare to see many of us share around here!

 

[Alana_]

Thank you Minxi!..

I love chatting but I feel a little out of my depth in some of the other threads, so this suits me, so thank you very much.

Again, I really do wish the best to your father and the rest of you. Hang in there and watch out for each other..as my grand father used to remind us, 'If you can't depend on family, who can you depend on'?

 

[monique_minx]

Very true Alana

You're always welcome to my boudoir, it's a mix of everything and I really don't mind people popping in to say hello, actions aren't really required for that!

 

[Alana_]

I'll take you up on that.

 

[yeishia]

I wander into Alan's in my lovely dress carrying a huge basket of roses which I give out to everyone I see there.....

Happy Valentine!​

 

[Alana_]

Thank you

 

[Alana_]

Well today's a good day for me thank goodness...The sun's shining, the family's ok, I'm making stir fry , and I got to visit here for a bit when I wasn't expecting to this morning.

So all told, not a bad day. Have a nice one everyone.

 

[yeishia]

Well Alana truth or mere politeness???

Hmmmmm hehe


I continue to trust like the idiot I am; to get taken advantage of again and again.

I figure the day I stop trusting, wanting to help people, caring, loving, empathizing; wanting to give all of me to the ones I care about..even those I don't........ is the day I die inside..

And so yes Alana the sun is shining, and I look forward to my day!

 

[Firmhanded_Daddy]

You know, I started this day out in a pretty crappy mood, but I realized that I have some really great friends, so I'm walking on air right now.

Down with manipulative fiends!

Huzzah for loyal friends!

Lets hit the bar, I'm buying.

 

[yeishia]

Hmmm which bar??????

 

[sallythescorpian]

Gradually coming out of a very black mood! Tuesday did something seriously stupid, and was lucky to get out shaken, but basically unscathed. By today, form has improved somewhat, and Im telling myself to learn from my mistakes!!

 

[Firmhanded_Daddy]

Wherever you wanna go Yeishia. I don't drink so it doesn't matter to me

 

[Alana_]

I've had a quiet Saturday morning, and have almost caught up on my post here and my other sites.

I'm hoping the quiet continues for another bit, and I get to visit for a bit longer. I hope I've not 'spoken' too soon.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

 

[hunting_tiger]

Feeling a bit confused after making three mistakes already today

 

[yeishia]

Woke up feeling wonderful today thank you Alana

"It's been mostly black for me lately, but lightening up. My uncle was hospitalized at age 69...they aren't saying it, but he's terminal. He was a good man who loved nothing more than showing off home movies and playing the guitar.

"But I'm dealing with it, and have finally gotten a spot of good news-another uncle, who had been diagnosed with a cancerous spot on his liver, is now in the clear. I had previously thought he was in seriously trouble, since he was told it was inoperable, but they treated him with chemo and radiation and it's completely gone now.

"Hopefully I can move on, shortly."
