I think I can honestly say that I write what I'm thinking and thinking and thinking, without thought to whom might or might not comment. Yeah, I like to get comments, and I will find myself disappointed sometimes when there are none; however, that is when I remind myself that this stuff is for me. I'm just blessed enough that I've found some kindred spirits on here, such as yourself, who can often relate to my madness. As for the unknown guests reading our stuff, I dunno. Maybe they feel the same things we do and just seriously fear putting it out there. And while I mourned the fact that your mother found your blog site (mothers are different.....they shouldn't know every little detail), I have this to say about your writing, both style and content: it is part of you. It is a raw honesty expressed in such a way that anyone could identify. It is your gift and you should be proud. If you find yourself concerned about things like, "OMG, what if Camera Guy found this site?" Well, what if he did? This is Meri, the true, unadorned, unadulterated version, and I happen to think she rocks. So if someone doesn't share that opinion because you are bold enough to explore both your deepest thoughts and the ability to express them, I say "screw 'em". If this was ever the case, such a person wouldn't have been able to appreciate your free spirit, anyway. Write on, Meri!!

BTW, the wind up penises are AWESOME!! We had them at a bachelorette party for a friend, and had races......the owner of the losing penises had to do shots. Imagine a table of grown women, cheering their wind up penises on as they bobble down the length of the bar!!!!! Good times.

Okay, I was gonna be pissed if such an amazing occurrence happened and you didn't share!! BUT, you did change your pic to a somewhat married looking visual, you did blog about the L word and your new guy..........logical assumption, I thought.

Yikes, Easy. I don't even know what to say (a rarity). I'm so sorry you have to bear the pain of your children as well as your own. Divorce just sucks. For everyone.

Okay....I just wondered. And I'm sure you love your dog. We couldn't be friends if you didn't!! (LOL). Anyhoo, I guarantee that Shelby might adore Brian, but her loyalty is to you. It's amazing how dogs can pick up on that stuff. When Kevin was on his way out, Rodney started getting aggressive towards him. If Kev would yell at me or grab my arm, Rodney would go for his throat. And Kevin and I were his parents, so to speak, but I think the dog sensed the danger long before I did. He got to where he'd barely let Kevin get near me. Needless to say, Rodney got alotta Beggin' Strips during that time!!!!!

Super K Headquarters....you crack me up, K. Anyway, I sometimes get disappointed if I don't have many hits on a blog, but then I have to remind myself that I'm writing for ME. It's nice to be recognized and make friends on here, but I think once you lose sight of the purpose, you're walking dangerous ground. Might become TOO easy to stop saying exactly what you feel and start placating the masses. To quote the Apostle Paul (in a completely unrelated topic altogether) "May it never be!!!!!" But I do support you in your cause....if you do a fundraiser, lemme know; I'll send a check. Luv u.

Okay, Prelude....I just can't let the dog thing go, being the dog-lover that I am.
You said that you didn't want anything to do with the dog when you are upset; is she some strange reminder of all the crap with R? If so, let me point out something that might help, might not. Firstly, she's your dog now. Dogs aren't like people. They don't stupidly mourn for the people that left them behind, nor do they wish their new owners were more like the last. They unconditionally love whomever they trust now, and they always have that one person in the family they are the most loyal to. You have Shelby's undivided love and devotion now, and she just wants to comfort you when you're sad. Sorry to harp on the dog thing so much; mine can just always make me smile no matter how pissy I am.

Deja Vu going on over here.....the sex thing is humiliating, but I guess men have the same "not tonight" moods that we get. I guess it's only a problem, or a symptom of a problem, when it's a consistent thing. Scott got that way and it made me feel like I had a hump on my back and should be ringing a bell in a tower somewhere!
As far as the messiness, your house is your house. It's just plain immaturity to treat someone else's home that way. I say ditch the guy, love the dog. At least they usually feel guilty when they make a mess!

Welcome Home, Meri!!! Missed you around here!
And congrats on finding the courage to perform the scariest of feats. I once parasailed, in an effort to get up the nerve to bungee jump, but unfortunately, the chain broke and I dropped, oh, about 100ft. into the ocean. I decided that if they couldn't hold my ass up on a thick chain, no way was I going up on a tiny cord. That's kinda been the end of my adventurous streak!!! Good for you for not letting fear (and possible death) deter you!!!!

Some Thoughts on Friends on Thoughts on 2008-04-26 11:35:04 |
|
Easy, sometimes I think it's hard to post everything you want to post when you've made friends here. The deepest, darkest, omg-i-want-to-drink-bleach moments that will only concern and worry those reading that have truly built a friendship with you. And I have no doubts that you, Meri, Prelude, and me could have one helluva time out on the town. I'd like to say that Pita and Ellie could act as chaperones, but I have the feeling we'd actually be chaperoning those crazy chicks! Anyway, as warming as it is to find kindred spirits on here, it is hard, at least for me, to post everything I want to say at some points. If I did, someone undoubtedly would be calling a hotline somewhere........

Hey Mamacita, sometimes I think you just have to get away from here. It can be a great place to meet awesome people or it can be the straw that breaks your back. I think people automatically assume if you head outta here that you were offended, chased off, whatever. Not always the case. It wasn't in mine, and I suspect it wasn't in yours. But, glad to see you back.

I wish no harm on anyone, but I am truly beginning to question if you reap what you sow. Seems to me that those that have trampled on me are skipping along just fine.

I have my doubts on the true existence of love. There's many twisted versions, but I have yet to see the real thing outside of family.

SPOUSE WANTS ME BACK...... on 2008-04-25 10:41:12 |

K, it takes time to rebuild a life. My only reference point was after my divorce.....most of my friends drifted off, either because they had been mutual friends and they were uncomfortable, or they knew he had been cheating and didn't want to face me. It took a while, it really did. Took a new job, and slowly, made some new friends. My own friends were still there, but I took some major losses. But at least now, the people in my life are those I can rest assured are there for ME, not me as part of a couple to hang out with. Ain't easy, and try not to get impatient. It'll happen. I promise. Oh, and hell no, you aren't a rotten person.....what kinda question is that? You rock, K!!!

Hey K, you'd be seriously deluded if you DIDN'T have these worries. Hard to start your life over. But explore all your options; maybe there's more than you think. Maybe a coworker is looking for a roomate, maybe there are carpools in your area.......I don't know about your area, but around here, there are always positions available for someone to sit with elderly people. You'd be awesome at that. You don't have to have a medical background for alot of those candidates; just watch out for them, provide company, help them ambulate.......just a suggestion.

Finding Balance on 2008-04-24 17:07:08 |
|
Some things just hit a little too close to home, Prelude. And that makes being objective or balanced in your opinion pretty tough. I agree with you wholeheartedly on the suicide thing, which seems to run rampant on this page. Whether it's a cry for attention or a legitimate consideration, to me, is of no consequence. It's someone hurting, period. I know what you are talking about and I left a fairly nasty post; an uncharacteristic move for me, but the writer truly made me sick. And you're right; we don't have to read, and there are certain blogs I avoid because I know they will cause steam to shoot out my ears.
In any event, I think we will all be trying to achieve balance in some area for the rest of our lives. And, BTW, I don't think you should feel badly for keeping plans with your friends. If Brian was a bit more reliable, you might've had reason to ask him if he had anything going that might include you.

I think you are both awesome people, and owe NO ONE any explanations for anything. But I do think you have to expect at least some flack from people who have been devastated by infidelity. Regardless of the details that led to it, it still hurts someone, and in most cases, several people. It certainly doesn't make you bad people, but you have to look at it from the other side, too. But again, my thoughts are that you've both been through enough without feeling like you have to defend anything to anyone. No need to place that unfair burden on either of you.

Suicide on 2008-04-23 14:46:22 |

Correction: paranoid schizos are known for attacks on others......Hinkley, Jr. for example. Sorry about the typo.

Suicide on 2008-04-23 14:44:50 |

I disagree, Bob-o......while it's true that most people who commit or attempt suicide suffer from a form of mental illness (a fact that doesn't require corroboration by a rocket scientist), the highest percentage of those who perpetrate violence on themselves are the paranoid schizophrenics. Not that bipolar or depressed people don't ever do it, they are usually much more content to hurt themselves, unless they have some type of sociopathic etiology as well. And anyway, look it up....mistreatment and abuse of any form of these potential suicidalists is more likely to drive them to harm others, and then themselves. Geez.

You so desperately need a clue; really, you are clue-free. Did it ever occur to you that even if the suicide ploy is just for attention, THAT, in itself, is a true problem? Believe it or not, there are people in this world, whom you obviously have not met, that don't think ANYONE cares whether they live or die. I have met these people on many occasions in my paramedic days, and let me tell you, they usually come from pretty bad lives. Count yourself blessed to feel loved without resorting to such measures, and quit freakin' judging everyone on the planet. Oh, and while you're searching for that clue, why don't you see if you can muster up a heart as well? I think you are a sad representative of our military.

Ambulance Drivers.......... on 2008-04-22 20:29:22 |
|
Point of contention, MY. I was a medic for 10 years and I don't mind telling you that me and my EMT were PARTNERS. Unfortunately, however, it would be the medic, more often than not, walking into a courtroom to explain just what the hell went wrong. So, that's pretty much why I insisted that things would be done my way; never had any problems with my EMT partners agreeing with me, either. And we worked together on every run. I'm not in EMS anymore, but I assure you that in 10 years on the trucks, I got my fair share of blood, puke, pee, poo, cspine fluid, and every other bodily substance imagineable on me. Yes, medics are pretty much helpless without the right equipment and an EMT who knows their ass from their armpit, so obviously, we don't all think we walk on water. And I can't count the times I was called an "ambulance driver" myself.
