Thanks Mark! We made it there and back. The eclipse was happening so I was watching that as well. I have arrived at work.

I think sharing makes you feel less alone in your own suffering. Knowing there are others who feel as you do or have suffered as you have, makes you feel less isolated. You folks here are the kindest, most open hearted, loving people, and I see why Kaez loves you all so much!!!

Thank you Kat. And of course you're right.I think sharing makes you feel less alone in your own suffering. Knowing there are others who feel as you do or have suffered as you have, makes you feel less isolated.

Sorry for being so quiet the past few days... it's been a mad-house here. That, and the news from Kaez, has put me "in a mood"
Love you folks.
Love you folks.

We all have our own struggles, and reading about others' often makes our own problems seem minimal. IMHO, if it's an issue to you, it's important. I use this forum as my therapy. Everyone is so kind and compassionate here. And safe.....
Make yourself at home
Don't know if you saw my "story" I posted on the back porch last week. It was very hard to do, but no one judged or really commented, which was good for me. One porcher who I am friends with on Facebook sent me a private message thanking me and expressing her admiration that I was able to post that. So sometimes it does help.
I didn't...I don't visit the back porch very often but I will look for your story. Thank you for sharing this. I need to work on this part of me.
It was a good share, Cathy! I'm glad you were able to do it. There are somethings that are just so heavy to recall. The old emotions try to come up. But sharing relieves the burden somewhat, & eventually you can look back without getting stuck there. It's a good feeling.

@Bea-FL You're a lot stronger than I am! Had I buried one of my kids, they would have been burying me too even if I do have 2 of them. If my son doesn't straighten up soon, I'll be burying him from prison.
My problem is I don't have friends other than the ones that are here in this thread. I allowed 2 ex husbands and an ex AH boyfriend to run all of my friends away so this is really the only outlet I have to talk about anything that's bothering me. Yes I do have an adopted by me sister but she becomes so judgmental when I try to talk about stuff with her that I just don't bother. I know what my flaws are so I have little need to be constantly reminded of them.
I have a sister from another mister in PA. We met on a silly farming game on Facebook. We would work each other's farm and chat for hours. Neither of us play games anymore but we have met, try to get together when we are in the area. We text every day, a vow we gave each other years ago. I feel so fortunate to have her because we can talk about anything with understanding and no judgment, and if needed, we call each other. She is about the best friend I have ever had.
PS, Geordi is her nephew, literally. Her Terv is a half brother to G's father. Just another bond.

I so agree. My best friend is DH. My other best friend died a year ago. Unfortunately the rest of the people whom we thought were our good friends abandonned us when our son died. According to a psych friend that's not unusual in cases of a child or spouse dying…people don't know what to say or do so they go away. It hurt just the same.+1000 on this post!

So you all on this thread and a couple of other cyber friends who are also grieving mothers are so very important to me. You make a difference.

I can surely relate to this. And I thank the internet for this forum and wonderful group of friends it provides.I so agree. My best friend is DH. My other best friend died a year ago.

(((((((((((Bea)))))))))) I can't imagine the depths of that loss. For you, lynn or anyone, as others have said........don't ever feel you shouldn't share what you're going through. I know you try not to get bogged down in it with all your happy messages most days. Fake it til ya make it??
glad the car made it! hope the dr saw him, and he got his meds refilled!Thanks Mark! We made it there and back. The eclipse was happening so I was watching that as well. I have arrived at work.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
I *HATE* when I get my scheduled screwed up!!!!!!
Client's asking about his upgrade, and me - all fat, dumb, and happy says - no problemo. Oh, you mean TODAY?!?!?!?!?!!?!?! I thought it was TOMORROW! Newp - we'd discussed a few weeks ago, but I never moved it on my work calendar
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood Morning!

Good morning!
I need some advice from the creative wood users. My old beagle that is half blind and almost deaf was tethered to a tree in my front yard. The tree came down day before yesterday. It fell on my carport. Minimal damage but now I'm minus an anchor for my sweet old puppy. I'm thinking of getting a treated 4x4 and cementing it back in the hole the tree left. Would that work? Any other wood suggestions? Right now she's tethered to trees at the edge of the yard but has no protection from rain. I have a dog house out there but she refuses to use it.
