riddler 0 #51 December 26, 2010 My divorce completed this year. But I lost two friends in the last month, and I found out my dad is a child molester. Overall, it's been a sucky year. But hey, my kids are only two and four, so I don't feel old. Just tired. Very tired.Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CarrieByTheSea 0 #53 December 26, 2010 'mama, you have come a long way, baby! I remember the soon-to-be-divorced woman I met at the DZ when she was even a newer jumper than me and quickly came to knew the woman you became. You have proven to be a fantastic mother, a wonderful person and someone who grows even more beautiful from muddy waters, like a lotus. I will stay tuned to hear what excited new adventures await you. "Nature is cruel, but we don't have to be." ~ Temple Grandin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarrieByTheSea 0 #54 December 26, 2010 Quote also lost his dog and almost his entire house on Monday due to his 5 year old playing with matches. I suppose all things are realitive in comparison to something like that! I was visiting someone recently and he almost charliehorsed his calve and started to walk around--gets them often he said. I told him it could be worse; it is considered "normal" to get a charliehorse in the asshole. Seriously. Can you imagine that? I can't. And so that is what I think about now after I get a charliehorse in my calve; I am thankful for it. I mean, at least it is not my asshole; that would really suck.

legalart 0 #57 December 31, 2010 I too have had an interesting past few years. House gone, wife ill, the industry in which I work in the tank. I don't post much but having read this forum for five years, my impression of you is, you're a wonderful mom with great kids and will come out of this just fine. Just continue to wake up happy.

billvon 2,406 #58 December 31, 2010 >The twelve year old girl I had when I joined the forums is now a >young lady and she's engaged! Feel old yet? After college I met my first serious girlfriend. We went out for a few years, then things got messy, and one day I found out she had gotten engaged to someone else. Saw her again over christmas. She has three daughters. One is a freshman at Harvard, not much younger than I was when I met her for the first time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 34 #60 January 9, 2011 Don't worry Skymama, you'll bounce back. Sucks about the divorce and the $70K sunk in the house. My mortgage is underwater and I had a brand new kitchen and roof done for my house in the last 3 years, but at least my family is intact. You still got us to lean on, and me to put up with.

davjohns 1 #61 January 9, 2011 Skymama - My sympathy for the divorce. Many of us have been there. It is always a sad thing, no matter the circumstances. You will survive and prosper. I have no doubt. David.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
