My thoughts, this and that stuff.

I watched that yes, just watched thousands since, so cant remember it right now... Forces of nature sounds like the title of any relationship I've ever been in... Thats the other reason for flying solo, no real space amidst my storm, none with shelter anyway and yes, if you can leave Sandra Bullock, what hope is there for a 'mere mortal' such as me LOL

...you aint the only weirdo in the tribe Lia dear buddy....

Awww Trippin I am sorry your feeling this way. I wish I could swirl my magic wand and glitter sparkles would rain down on you and chase away the bad feelings. Hugs always !

Hehe James, you're right, with you guys as family, definitly am not and Christina, thanks a bunch, your glittery sparkles are most welcome, I'm sure that just imagining them is doing me good. staying at home today, need some time to regroup and figure out what to do with myself for the Christmas holidays...

yay!!...

I reckon a day off will be really good for you Lia...

you deserve it yep!

....(actually just done some quick calculations ...hmmm!
you deserve about 12 hundred and 3 days off!...give or take a day)

Thanks Jamesy I think so too. Last week really took a toll on me, standing in for the departmental administrator for the week, AND having my superior of sick for 2 days, I was basically expected to run the show, and hit the ground running I did. Need a breather, cant deal with people needing me today,coz right now I need me

Hope the day off gives you a much deserved break and rest.

Also, as women (ok men too, equal rights), we have the right to change our mind whenever we want. I like your plan to protect your heart and focus on your daughter and brother. But just in case you meet Mr. Right, you can change your mind.

First of all Trippin, I hate to be the state the obvious one here..... but Sandra Bullock < Trippin2.0 hmmm She got nothing on you! Nah I doubt that one very much so. Second, the BP and BPD ya might cause some rifts, but seriously you are one independent, fierce, eccentric force of a women to be reckoned with.. kinda hard to hide that kinda powerfulness, ya know? That takes a very special kind of match to contend with. But there are some men who are not only made to meet you on that but would love every aspect of your being and be more than willing to learn your ways and work with you.

Yup Blue is right, we reserve the right to make choices and we reserve the right to change them when we decide that we want to. Nothing is set in stone. Even if you did decided to fly solo forever, that choice is right if it is for you. Nothing wrong with that choice unless it hurts, either one is hard and does come with some pain.

Just saying, I can see why it would take someone special, you are not your average girl! In a pretty good way!

I hope you are feeling better soon, and work ouch, you need a break and some peaceful rest. Don't worry about what will come with your brother in the future, can't predict what will come. And no one can replace the irreplaceable.

Oh and people who are not even just a little weird, well that's kinda scary... What is is hiding in their then, that one makes me a bit suspicious...

Aww Trippin - I'm so sorry my friend

Trippin, I can relate to the feelings of, "No one can deal with me" stuff. To have friends and much of my own family tell me to my face that essentially I'm a lot to deal with, well....that hurts like a mother****er.

However, my boyfriend has been with me through every possible freaking out/Bipolar/depressive/anxious scenario so far and isn't the least bit fazed. It never ceases to amaze me. I asked him about being a burden one day. He goes, "Everybody has something they have to deal with in themselves." He's acknowledged more than once he's not the easiest person to live with either (has a lot of OCD issues). Then he mentions a former gf that was a bible thumper and says, "I'd rather deal with this then be forced to go to church every week." Which made me laugh, partly because he was serious. He was a Psych major in college, and I think somehow he finds what I deal with very interesting......he isn't frightened of it, intimidated by it, nor does he ever seem to feel burdened (like so many others in my life). I don't know how. He is extremely generous, patient and kind. It surprises me sometimes that I came upon this amazing man (especially when my own father was a pretty pathetic example of a father figure/"man").

I guess what I'm saying is there is a guy/guys out there that can love you for who you are; "extras" and all. I don't know that I would still be around right now if I didn't have my bf; he has been most of the glue that's kept me going for the past several months.

Thanks BlueInAnna, Anika, Jacky and LTT, I appreciate the kind inspiring words, really,thank you. Everyone who's posted is really amazing for supporting me the way you guys have

caught this late.. sorry.

Your heart is breaking, but please don't forget that it won't always be that way. Memories do fade and feelings do get forgotten and this happens for a reason. I hope that you will be able to give love another chance without involving a blade in the future. We are allowed to change our minds about stuff like that you know.

You won't chase me off though. I'm no stalker, but I don't get chased off by things that I understand. I understand pushing people away. We both do it.

Hang in there! and hey, I'm on fb in the mornings too if you ever need someone to listen.

Thanks Dan appreciate it.

I wish that I could find those magic words to tell you, ones that will make everything okay. But I don't think there are such words. No... Sometimes we have to be okay when nothing really is.

"Your not alone"

This is exactly the perfect picture of our tribe. I think I'm the one so short and round you can't see the legs.

Trippin, you rock and Anika said it exactly. You are extremely powerful and amazing. So you need someone equally powerful and amazing to compliment you.

Funny you guys should say this. When people ask why I'm single, my answer is usually 'The man that can handle me wasnt invented yet'
Glad I stayed home,today didnt suck half as much,think I'm ready to face the world again. Thanks to you beautiful tribes(wo)men.You guys are really the best friends ever

"The man" indicates one man...
Have you considered a man harem?

Heck of a storm there Glad you made it through

All we had here was a power outage...

And sorry...

And thanks...

still on the minus 90% DB?

awesome Lia!!..you can breathe again hey.. unlike this dude
you sound muchy betterer.

...this tribe dude says ..."no worries at all"

Haha! A man harem! Wouldnt that be something?! Great idea sheweel, I'll keep that in mind incase I do venture out into a different mindset

You are strong and loving. You are fierce and you need someone that is an equal.

Many people often "settle". I am glad to know you are not that type.

I'm glad you are feeling a bit better.. Hell we all have our days

Yeah, 'settle' goes in the BS catagory, and I'm fatally allergic! So thats a no-no-no... Back at work today, its just gone 7:30 and my shift has started. Hope time flies
