for the reasons you stated, but it was very underhanded that the woman would snatch up the doll for $2.00 knowing she was buying it from a little girl when the mother wasn't looking.  It was just plain wrong.

I had/have the same problem.  I finally made up my mind to exercise, so I joined the local YMCA.  I couldn't believe how much better I felt.  Unfortunately, I haven't gone back since before Christmas -- and guess what?  -- I'm started to feel the fatigue coming back. 

I live in horrible winter weather country, so walking doesn't appeal to me during winter months.  It is very difficult to make up your mind and do something about it, even though ya know your going to feel better.  I'll get there - Good luck

As I sit here in the middle of the night pecking my lil ol fingers to the bone once again something has the dogs extremely upset. This has happened twice now... dogs barking and growling and staying all upset for about an hour, then something hits the side of my house, they continue to bark and carry on nonstop for about 30 minutes after that then they finally shut up.  First time it happened called my hubby, he told me to get his big shotgun and told me which shells went in it. It's still got the shells in the chamber, all I gotta do is pump it and fire. I guess if it is somebody it's gonna scare the H*** out of them and maybe they will leave me alone.  Hey, who knows, might actually be some stress relief while I'm sitting here working on crap and not making anything more than peanuts! Heheheheee... maybe next time it happens it will coincide with the PMS monster.

Men may act macho, but they have feeling, too and like to feel attractive and loved.

and has done squat to find the killer.......ya know why?  2+2=4.

And yes - we were inundated on TV for 9 months with this bogus-outcomed trial.........

.  My mom always worked outside the home after I was about 5.  Dad worked nights, so I was the designated cook and housekeeper.  Possibly the reason I despise housework today!

Hippies never scared me, most that I met were pretty cool.  What I meant was that while I thought the war was dumb, I was too young to be passionate enough to protest or anything like that.  Seeing Led Zeppelin as an opening act was worth it to be as old as I am now...well maybe not, but there's nothing I can do about my age except lie about it.

as the 'or' word, but I'm working on being more, um, understanding I guess is the word I'm looking for.  And you know what, it's reeeeely reeeeely hard in cases like these!

That is so incredibly sweet of you all to worry about me like this!  I am truly just fine.  Since I "quit" my job a couple of weeks ago (which I reneged on anyway because I'm a complete tool), I've been working almost nonstop.  Tonight marks the first "weekend" I have had off since that time...oh what, 4 weeks now?  And let me tell you, I am totally fried.

However, this is a good thing.  I got off that darned pager and will now start work on a regular schedule.  I can feel the stress melt away already...well, job related stress anyway.

I had to hit the grocery store last night, something I haven't done in about 2 weeks, and I nearly vomited.  Last time I left the property gas was well, diesel is what I use, was a whopping $2.99.  It is now up to $3.35/gallon!  A gallon of 2% milk is $4.69.  Bread is $3.14/loaf for the crappy stuff and orange juice is just a tad over $3.00/half gallon.  I got 4 bags of absolute bare necessities at the grocery store and it cost $70!!  Holy crap!  No red meat (well, weeners), no fish, no dairy.  How on earth do people with families do it?!  

This will be the first winter we have no oil in the tank for home heat, as that is also almost $3/gallon!  However, I think we have enough firewood.  Scary times my friends and I'm really worried about our fellow Mainers.  We have a lot of elderly here in Maine who are really struggling on a good day, never mind the challenges of our winters.  There used to be a heating program that would provide reduced-cost fuel...not this year.  Reserves are empty in the whole state.  Sad and frustrating situation for many, many people and I don't wanna point fingers or nuthin, but the only ones who aren't suffering or seem to have a clue tend work out of D.C., know what I'm sayin?

So, yeah, that's my overdue rant I guess.  Thank you again for all who have e-mailed and posted here.  I appreciate it more than you will ever know.  Once I have things caught up around here, I will sit down and say hello one-on-one.  Take care of each other.  Rough times are afoot. 

I'm a stubborn old goat.  I just call them 'rheumatisms' because that's the old fart in me coming out.  Ever see the old cartoon with this old farmer guy who had this toe that went crazy when the weather turned bad?  That's what I picture myself as...that old coot.  Gravity was never my friend and being a bit of a tomboy, I always played kinda hard and now I'm just paying for it...at least I think that's what's happenin'.  The fatigue isn't so bad now either now that our daylight minutes are slowly creeping up.  Plus I'm on a high dose of Lexapro and I think that's helping to keep both my melon and my aches in check.  Always a bonus.
