*True Confessions*

[JennyOmanHill]

Got the panic disorder T-Shirt myself so I know what you are talking about. I mean everything can be peachy and one will come from nowhere. I use meds if they get really bad, but prefer to control the symptoms without those. Just brought a book on the subject and it's a program you go through that so far seems to be pretty good. I'll get you the name and ISBN if ya like.

Happy Easter back at ya and it was a beautiful 74 sunny degrees here

Hey, it's almost 47 degrees here now!

Panic and anxiety disorders are slowly coming out into the "mainstream". I do the meds/therapy thing, and I'm finally taking steps that I never would have taken years ago. Right now, it's difficult to concentrate enough on reading, and I already have 2 books assigned, but not completed.

Hope things continue to go smoothly for you. It's a hard road, but certainly one worth fighting through! Thanks for you kind words

Today's confession is actually a big and heartfelt THANK YOU to that special 'Man in my life! Oman, you stabilize me with your unconditional love, and I am indeed fortunate and appreciative from my heart and soul.

* Me and my fiance are probably going to split soon. So many reasons why, but mainly because as soon as we got together, everything we had going good started falling apart (finances, work, (she got made redundant), health, (shes been really ill as of late, so have I every so often) and her ex being a PAIN IN THE ASS!!!...

* I sold my first motorcycle i ever bought last week, and this might sound stupid, but i so regret doing it..the buyer broke it up a day later, sent me a photo of it in pieces...i nearly cried!!!

It's 8PM and a mild 75 here in these parts. This is about the only time of year it is the paradise so often written about.

They have come along way in the last 20 years. I was surprised to learn it can be hereditary as well as learn behavior. One of the things the book recommends is getting a study partner even if they don't have problems with anxiety. Helps keep ya motivated.

Nice Ears

A young man moved into a new apartment of his own, and went to the lobby to put his name on his mailbox.

While there, an attractive young brown haired lady came out of the apartment next to the mailboxes, wearing a robe. The boy
smiled at the young woman and she started a conversation with him.

As they talked, her robe slipped open, and it was obvious that she had nothing else on. The poor kid broke into a sweat trying
to maintain eye contact.

After a few minutes, she placed her hand on his arm and said, Let's go to my apartment, I hear someone coming."

He followed her into her apartment; she closed the door and leaned against it, allowing her robe to fall off completely.

Now nude, she purred at him, "What would you say is my best feature?"

Flustered and embarrassed, he finally squeaked, "It's got to be your ears."

Astounded, and a little hurt she asked, "My ears? Look at these breasts; they are full and 100% natural. I work out every day
and my butt is firm and solid. Look at my skin -- no blemishes anywhere. How can you think that the best part of my body is my ears?"

Clearing his throat, he stammered. "Outside, when you said you heard someone coming . . . that was me."

Home remedies

1. If you are choking on an ice cube, don't panic.
Simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat and
presto, the blockage will be almost instantly removed.

2. Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing
vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while
you chop away.

3. You can avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting
the toilet seat just by using the sink.

4. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut
yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the
pressure in your veins. Remember to use an egg timer.

5. A mouse trap placed on top of your alarm clock will
prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep
after you hit the snooze button.

6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of
laxatives. Then you will be afraid to cough.

7. Have a bad toothache? Smash your thumb with a
hammer and you will forget all about the toothache.

8. Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules
of life really are:

In life, you only need two tools - WD-40 and Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move but should, use the WD-40.
If it should not move and does, use the duct tape.

9. Remember: Everyone seems normal until you get to
know them.

10. Never pass up an opportunity to go to the bathroom.

Thought for the Day:

SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES ..... THEY ARE NOT REALLY
GOOD FOR ANYTHING ... BUT THEY STILL BRING A SMILE TO
YOUR FACE WHEN YOU PUSH THEM DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS.

1. Go to a second-hand store and buy a pair of men's used size 14-16 work boots.

2. Place them on your front porch, along with several empty beer cans, a copy of Guns & Ammo magazine and several NRA magazines.

3. Put a few giant dog dishes next to the boots and magazines.

4. Leave a note on your door that reads:

Hey Bubba, Big Jim, Duke and Slim: I went to the gun shop for more
ammunition. I will be back in an hour. Don't mess with the pit bulls --
they attacked the mailman this morning and messed him up real bad.
I don't think Killer took part in it but it was hard to tell from all the blood.

PS - I locked all four of them in the house. You better wait outside.

Be sure to include a Spanish version!

that's funny.

One day my housework-challenged husband decided to wash his Sweatshirt. Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room, he shouted to me, "What setting do I use on the washing machine?"

"It depends," I replied. "What does it say on your shirt?"

He yelled back, "Penn State."
And they say blondes are dumb...

"It's just too hot to wear clothes today," Jack says as he stepped out of the shower, "honey, what do you think the neighbors would think if I mowed the lawn like this?"
"Probably that I married you for your money," she replied.
***************************************
He said - Shall we try swapping positions tonight? She said - That's a good idea... you stand by the ironing board while I sit on the sofa and fart.

A man and his wife, now in their 60's, were celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary. On their special day a good fairy came to them and said that because they had been so good that each one of them could have one wish. The wife wished for a trip around the world with her husband.

Whoosh! Immediately she had airline/cruise tickets in her hands.

The man wished for a female companion 30 years younger... Whoosh...immediately he turned ninety!!! Gotta love that fairy!

A PRAYER....


Dear Lord,

I pray for Wisdom to understand my man;
Love to forgive him;
And Patience for his moods.

I'll beat him to death.

AMEN

For all the MIAs.......

I grew up with practical parents who had been frightened by
The Great Depression in the 1930's. A mother, God love her, who
washed aluminum foil after she cooked in it, then reused it. She
was the original recycle queen, before they had a name for it..

A father who was happier getting old shoes fixed than buying
new ones. Their marriage was good, their dreams focused. Their
best friends lived barely a wave away I can see them now,
dad in trousers, tee shirt and a hat and mom in a house dress,
lawn mower in one hand and dish-towel in the other. It was the
time for fixing things a curtain rod, the kitchen radio, screen door,
the oven door, the hem in a dress. Things we keep.

It was a way of life, and sometimes it made me crazy. All that
repairing, eating, renewing, I wanted just once to be wasteful.
Waste meant affluence. Throwing things away meant you knew
there'd always be more.

But then my mother died, and on that clear summer's night
in the warmth of the hospital room, I was struck with the pain
of learning that sometimes there isn't any more. Sometimes
what we care about most gets all used up and goes away...never
to return. So...while we have it...it's best we love it...and care
for it...and fix it when it's broken..... And heal it when it's sick.

This is true... For marriage... And old cars.... And children with
bad report cards..... And dogs and cats with bad hips.... And
aging parents... And grandparents. We keep them because they
are worth it, because we are worth it. Some things we keep like
a best friend that moved away or a classmate we grew up with.

There are just some things that make life important, like people
we know who are special.... And so, we keep them close!

Missing everyone

Hi TCers

My only confession tonight is that I sometimes do not feel worthy of the love Oman so freely and unconditionally fills me with!

I'm such a lucky lady!

There are two guys who have been lost in the desert for weeks,and they're at death's door. As they stumble on, hoping for salvation in the form of an oasis or something similar, they suddenly spy, through the heat haze,a tree off in the distance. As they get closer, they can see that the tree is draped with rasher upon rasher of bacon. There's smoked bacon, crispy bacon, life-giving juicy nearly- raw bacon, all sorts.

"Oh my, Pepe" says the first bloke. "It's a bacon tree!!!

"We're saved!!!" says his mate. "You're right!" says Pepe.

So Pepe goes on ahead and runs up to the tree salivating at the prospect of food. But as he gets to within five feet of the tree, there's the sound of machine gun fire, and he is shot down in a hail of bullets.

His friend quickly drops down on the sand, and calls across to the dying Pepe. "Pepe!! Pepe!! What on earth happened?"

With his dying breath Pepe calls out "Ugh, run, run!! It's not a Bacon Tree it's a Ham Bush"
