Tihmmnmmish's Very Laid-Back Summery Poolside Threadcast

[EroticOrogeny]

still here.. kinda..
still hacking up my lungs..
no, i'm not going to the dr. I'm not ready to concede to that. lol

Pride? Ego? doesn't sound like a good motivation for skipping the doctor.
And much thanks for taking the time and effort for the poetry review - looks like just you, me and Pandora are doing any these days.
But I guess I'm one to talk - I waited a week and a half after getting back from vacation (two weeks after accident).

 

[hmmnmm]

northward pilgrimage,
enlightenment found
in an eggroll;
entire journey frought
with signs of hinted perils;
returned with memories,
and leftovers

Not pride or ego.. a combination of PTSD and the associated panic attacks and strong aversion to being touched by strangers, plus I don't have a car, so I would have to find someone willing to go with me to the doctor's office and wait in the waiting room for the typical hour and a half (minimum).

On a positive note, I was commissioned to do 2 oil paintings tonight. So, that's excellent. Thank God I am getting a $200 down payment on them since oil paintings take months to dry.

I hope you do find a way to go because you sound like you definitely need antibiotics. Waiting that long for the doctor sounds horrendous don't they have an appointment system?!! That will teach me not to moan because I've had to wait to see the doc because they are running behind schedule by 15 minutes!

Came close to hitting a moose.
Saw it in the distance by the side of the road, behind a sign, but in the light and everything it looked like some kind of cutout or something, like they do around here, maybe a faded advertisement... no matter, it looked more like a depiction than the real thing it appeared to depict. Until we got closer. Funny how the perception shifted, seeing the depth and solidity and realizing it was a real moose, and very big moose; remained where it was, sentry-like, so we got a nice close view, and it jumped out onto the road just as we passed. A weird moment for sure.


Sheila you better get well soon. You're too far away for me to lay my healing hands upon you, so you better get well somehow. Ya hear?

 

[hmmnmm]

oh another weird one: the chinese buffet totaled 13.09 and the cigarettes and tylenols were 13.90. Or it might be the other way around. Found that somewhat strikingly odd. It was like a day of strange close ones. Even from the outset, like we weren't supposed to go. Took a back road that on the map looked like a shortcut, but it went way way way in the back country, windy narrow road that if one didn't pay attention could send you way down to the bottom, with no near access to help. Well, we went and got back in one piece, which could've easily been otherwise. Then, last week by a sheer split second fluke, an acquaintance got killed in a motorcycle mishap. Him and his wife out riding, having fun. Just like that: gone. About my age. You just never know...

Now, that is the first that a man has suggested that I would benefit from his healing hands, believe it or not. I have had a few suggest that a "special injection" in the ass would cure me of this blasted bronchitis.

well that's classy

 

[hmmnmm]

and you know, when you hear of something like that, someone going out unexpectedly, sudden, rather young, it's hard not to do some soul-searching... someone about your age out and about, then poof! gone. On the other hand, the guy went while doing something he really enjoyed. One tends to reexamine how one spends one's time... or how one chooses to view life, and stuff. Mindsets. See about adjusting some of the settings.

That's why I won't let Ron have a bike ...... he has a load of friends that he's known from school days and living in the same road as kids, one of them when he retired bought himself a present of some big flashy motorbike. Hit a wooden bollard as he came out of a garden centre scrunch down onto the road smacked his head and even with a helmet on killed him outright

Good News!!!

I am not sure if I have mentioned the problems that I have had with my daughter's school district. I owe thousands of dollars in truancy fines. Well, there was an article in the newspaper about parents complaining about the fines. A group of them hired a lawyer from Philly! I had tried to get a local lawyer to help me about this, but none would go against the school district.

I contacted the reporter and got the contact information for the lawyer. I have been in touch with the lawyer and forwarded emails that I had between me and the superintendent and the guidance counselor. Both show what I have been through and how I had tried to get help without ever getting any. One even refers one of my hospitalization that had been largely due to the stress of this situation.

I'll be calling the lawyer tomorrow to discuss it further. God! If they can remove the fines that would be a significant stressor reduced. Oh, and by thousands of dollars-- I mean close to $30K. I would even be all for going after the school district for money for the emotional trauma and hospitalization. You guys don't even know all that my daughter and I have been through. There were times she would come home from school and collapse on the floor vomiting from migraines because the nurse would not follow my instructions to contact me when my daughter had a migraine (my daughter has chronic migraines). Instead, the nurse would give my daughter 2 aspirins and call her a liar.

No, don't think you'd mentioned that before - thats outragous!
Do do have3 medical documentation on her migraines and have you given them to the school (if they care)?
Good luck and God bless!

Yes, there is medical documentation of her migraines and the school already has it. At one point, the school had let Roni have a late start, but at that time, Roni's behavior was horrible and she blew that. Since she was late and absent too much, the school stopped letting her have a late start.

My daughter used to attack me or completely ignore me when I tried to get her up for school. Plus, due to my medications that I was on for awhile, there were days she missed cuz neither of us woke up. Damn seroquel. I will never go on that stuff again. That's the stuff that I took it once and woke up 17 hours later.

Anyway, I had sought help from the truancy officer and the guidance counselor. The guidance counselor didn't know what to do and referred me to the truancy officer. The truancy officer flat out told me that it's not his job to help me get my daughter to school.

wow, I am in a bitchy mood. I just went OFF on an anti-complex PTSD diagnosis rant on a PTSD forum. I vented with a "Why We Should NOT Have a Complex PTSD Diagnosis" post on my PTSD blog. I feel somewhat better, but still a little annoyed and agitated. I think I'll go paint before I try to go to sleep... Don't need no nightmares or flashbacks making matters worse.


goodnight, peeps!

The good thing about this messageboard is that you can meet so many people that you never would in the normal way but the downside is that when they are hurting in some way grrrrrrrrr you can't get to them to help. I am grateful that I don't have such terrible problems that you have and I have no way of knowing if I could help anyway all I can do is send my love


Would people know what a 'quid' is if it was in a poem?

I know, there is little one can do. And since we know each other, at least to a limited extent, we have concerns for each other, so there is little gratidude form felling 'I don't have things so bad', which I sometimes get when visiting a medical cneter - you see others much worse off, but they're just people passing by - no contact in most cases.

ty, Annie. I have 2 therapy appointments next week and believe me, they cannot happen fast enough. I am just trying to maintain and avoid the hospital at this point.

What exactly is a quid? It is some kind of money, right? Is it the same as a pound or what? (or am I way off?)

*goes to ask Ron if he gets it*

Ask him to explain it to me too. I must be having a blonde moment.

ETA:

btw, Annie (and everyone), I appreciate how you guys have been. The last thing I want is pity. And I think everyone here has been excellent at being understanding without pity or judgment. I just wanted to thank you guys for that.

Well a 'quid' is a pound or just money it was used pre-decimal money really possibly from quid pro quo. If someone has come into some money he's quids in
