Guest guest Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 I don't mind hearing the ranting stories. There are times when I have had them myself with my husband. He is still subconciously in a stage of anger and denial with my illness and went to therapy 2x with me and that's it. He didn't like letting his feelings out. So that's that. Now I have to put up with HIM! But I have thrown things like plates of mashed potatoes in his face (then ran like hell and locked myself in the bathroom! lol) and also the tv remote since it's so "precious" to him. lol It's funny now to look back at them, but at that time I was so furious that's all that I could do. SO don't worry , I will listen to your stories. Maybe we can compare notes, huh? Luv, Debbie Solberg wrote: Ahhhhh....J.Rose. Please take it into account that it is now 3 days later. lol You slay me, girl!...lol I have to admit that I often get 'creative' in the put-down department. Calling him an asshole all evening got a little old and held little impact after awhile. I usually swear when I am really frickin' mad so when I say F-ck you and ad-ifinitum then he knows he has passed into " 's Twilight Zone" and that is definately a very scary place to be. Once I threw a whole box of Bisquick all over the kitchen tornado-style and we were still finding it weeks later. The only things I throw at him are water balloons off the second story porch. Alot of people seem to get that type of idea concerning him. He got hit with a HUGE water balloon by the next-door neighbor last Sunday. I just stepped aside and let him get soaked and laughed my ass off. Once I taped his feet together with scotch tape and he almost fell on his head when he tried to get out of bed in the morning. I'll try to do better with my ranting in the future. But I'm not sure if everybody else wants to hear all the bloody details, hey? still smiling from your review....lol S."mamadog@..." wrote: Interesting rant. I'm giving double points for "sh_t on a hot sidewalk." I hadn't heard that one before. Perhaps we'll call it the S.innovation! Again, lacking those caps always costs you a few decimals. Overall, a good effort. 8.9 final score, but some controversy among thejudges. Keep up the good work & don't forget those caps!

Thanks so much. This was probably the worst weekphysically....that I've had in a long time. The big 'let-down' after theparty. Oh man...I can't even describe the internal crap going on...the'heating-up'...the unbelievable increase in back pain...and feeling likeeverything is just shutting down. And I mentioned the back pain to thewrong people and I get comments like...I should try yoga or thechiropractor(I have tried him before and he only helped so much...tho hedid help). I could much rather have had a hug than these 'helpful' words.I wouldn't even have mentioned it but they asked. Guess I fell into thatone... But it's hard to always suck it up, ya know. My husband didn'tforget my birthday. He just didn't get me anything. And that hurt morethan anything this week cuz this was one time he shouldn't have cuz I wasalready feeling like sh_t on a hot sidewalk. So I dragged/drug? myself to s and bought myself a decent easel. And I got blessedagain cuz it was 40 percent off. So instead of $100 I only paid $60!!!! Of course I've felt too crappy most of the week to paint but I know I willuse it. It's an indoor/outdoor kind and it only weighs 5 lbs. Well,after getting yelled at in my much-enhanced bitchy state-of-mind...he camehome with a jade pendant today(three days after my birthday and lots ofcomplaining...). It's nice and I really like it but I hope he doesn'tthink this makes up for not making the time to shop...only a year!. We'vebeen married 26 years and he knows that I am the type of person who wantstheir present on time...especially since I always make such a big deal outof everybody else's birthdays and such. I suppose that makes me soundpetty but I really don't care at this point. , you've got a realsweetheart for a husband cuz my husband wouldn't even think of doing thatfor me. I had to bitch till mine bought acar/truck that didn't make me feel every little bump. Took three cars andsome strong suggestions. But I do agree with everyone that sometimes youhave to do stuff anyway though you know you'll pay the price. Everybodywith great partners...give them an extra hug and kiss today. You may notknow how good you've got it! Thanks for letting me vent. I'm doing mynight time cycle this week. Sleeping most of the day and awake all night. Along with the extra pain also comes abit of depression but that's also parfor the course for me...And Jeri, I'm the same as you...always crying forthe least thing and, yeah, it does help. lots of love and hugs sent to allof you S. bitchy princessrenee kelty wrote:Debbie,Well, I was on 60 mg of prednisone and 40mg of ritalin a day. Also, we made the trip in the coolest set up. My in-laws drove up the previous spring and sold us this xtra large van, partially customized for a thousand. went out and purchased a small television and VCR (actually much nicer than the LCD screen that flips down in the new van that has the vcr under the right passenger seat.He and the kids also bought some kind of converterbox so that we could plug in the tv and vcr and the three of us could watch while drove and listened. There was only one bench seat in a van designed for three. We put in the middle and my husband jury rigged this awesome bed/storage area in the back. He made or found some palettes and put legs on them so that the pallete was just lower than the top of the bench seat in front off it. He took the two flip chairs from my sons' room (each flipped out to a twin bed with a pillowl, so together it was a king!) So dear old gimpy mom usually slept on that princess bed if there was any long night driving ahead (otherwise I sat in the front seat taking many movies). Also, below the pallete there was still room for my scooter--- I just had to remove the seat and put it upside down under me. There was also plenty of room for all of our comping gear (we have way too much), and, of course, I just slept on everyone's sleeping bags, unless the boys wanted to sleep -- one on the bench seat and one on the floor. We also had the campkitchen and cooler in the "hole in the middle" (behind the driving area, We rarely ate out, and did not have to stop for meals if we didn't want to. Good thing we had all that room because in Yellowstone EVERYTHING (even toothpaste) that came in contact with food had to be stored in the Van when not in use. We were able to camp just fine at Mt. Rushmore, but our tents only lasted three nights in Yellowstone because the last night there was snow (on June 10!). We woke up to eight inches, but we hearty campers still were able to make our morning meal! It made for a great vacation video!There was one last silver lining (other than we had one zero banlance charge card to help us with lodging for the next two weeks), That was that even thought the Yellowstone lodges didn't have tv, we had our own and plenty of videos for the VCR.Sad to say the following fall was when I nosedived and have never been off oxygen totally. When we want to "get back to nature" now, we just book two our three nights at one of the state park inns (just like a motel but better food and better scenery).Sorry for blathering on, but you helped me remember some of my last really fun times. I'm only on night ozygen right now, so if the humira starts working better, maybe we'll get to an inn yet this summer!Take care,WELLER, WELLER, WELLER, OY, OY, OYRENENES, BOOTSTRAP FAIRY.> Thanks .
