Ouch, I hear you Gwatlan, if I did it at work, 98% of people would not say a word and just laugh behind my back, only a small percentage are courageous and kind to say something.

Thank you for inviting me to look at your site, yes, you are right, to seperate yourself from that person is the wisest move.

Hi Easy To Say, I am sorry to hear that you are single again, or should I say I am excited to hear it? Either way, I wish you and your family a happy Easter and may you find many things to be happy for at Easter. Take care x

Easter Bunny on 2008-03-11 05:30:43 |

Yes of course, easter and christmas is a time to get spoilt, I did the small fluffy chickens with easter eggs in a tiny container last year and I added star confetti stuff, the hot cross buns are supplied by my company, but I definitely love the Easter Bilby idea, especially where a small amount of the money you pay goes to the bilby fund. I will do just that, head off to kmart/target on the weekend to see if they have any in stock, or to the supermarkets. Thanks for such a great suggestion. Its especially appropriate since my old cat ate the easter bunny on easter bunny, sobbing.

Laughing, I am all prickly on the outside, but if you are wise enough to know how to crack the surface I am a affection junkie. Is this the innuendo that you were expecting?

The movie....Jukes of Hazard on 2008-03-09 04:25:58 |

Nothing wrong with girlie shows, I like them somewhat to. Just, I was more of a tom boy when I was growing up and having a brother aided in the boyish shows.

The movie....Jukes of Hazard on 2008-03-09 00:21:57 |

Grinning, I forgot about Batman, Pow! Giggelling, I wonder what Batgirl would look like now. I dont have a attention span issue, if what I am watching is captivating like the Green mile, that I did not move at all for or even Moulin Rouge, however I can not sit and watch that movie again, no matter how much I loved it at first sight. Laughing, I dont begrudge them regardless of there talent, in fact, if they are good enough to get on, its about showcasing your stuff, so, good luck to whoever wins, although I have to say they dont get much of a good rap after the show finishes in Australia, there are a few who have maded it and one or two have fallen off the face of the earth.

Its hard isnt it, I learnt the hard way, only give when it brings you joy, if it does not bring you joy, you reallly dont have the right to give. We have entered a dog eat dog world, where people expect a lot and give out very little, but, having said that, there are beautiful pockets of people you come across occasionally that bring you joy and gifts of love and attention and other little goodies. You, just have to search your heart and think what is right for you and do just that. I find more moments of joy then life long friendships of joy, except for my 3 dear hearted friends, they are a constant joy. Which i am increasingly lucky for. Take care Brainstormer. xox

Who is Jack Shepard and Daniel Farraday? When I get over tired, I cant sleep, hence the reason why I want to sleep but refuse to go to bed.

Nightmares suck, I have had the worst nights sleep to, I hope you get through it, sometimes the nightmare is the hardest thing to shake, because they feel so real when its dark and you are forced to see the nightmare.

Driving Phobic! on 2008-03-06 13:08:19 |
|
You can do this, you have the motivation you need to overcome your fear, and that is the new job, congratulations, you are a star for getting it. Have you not thought about changing your thoughts on driving, if you continue to see it as a constant source of fear, or something bad, then you will continue to hate it, why not think about it as it is, driving gives you freedom, with a license you can go anywhere you wish to, you are going to be based in a rural environment, so just think about the amazing sites, sounds and things you will see, and how much time you are going to save doing that by driving. You clearly are a smart, intelligent person, perhaps if you really want, you can turn this fear around and make it the most amazing and positive expeirence, I know you are going to get through this, and in all honesty, I would not be surprised if you find it easier then you think.

Agreed, drugs/alcohol is a classic avoidance technique. Its our bury our head in the sand process, until the problem, thought, feeling goes away.
To have one glass is enjoyment, to have too many glasses is avoidance.

Why do woman always want the bad guy? on 2008-03-06 04:44:24 |

Oh pffft, you do not suck, laughing, just life is about balance and you need to find that balance and the net can be addictive, so, smiling, it is all really relative actually.

Lies or Heartbreak? on 2008-03-05 12:47:03 |
|
Smiling, I work in a office filled with different age groups, and the teens/20's group deal with heartache the best, they simply tell it as it is, I have to say, I am much more grateful for the truth then I am for the bull shit lies, but I find it the hardest thing to do myself. I guess it comes down to the fear that you dont want to hurt someone else if you can help it and we all know what it feels like to be the one hurting, but at the same time, you really do need to set people free.

Dont you hate it when you create a rod for your own back? I am sorry your family are so selfish and I hope that your cold gets better and you are back on the land of recovery in no time. I hope that you also start taking out time for yourself, to indulge your own fantasies and happiness, sounds like you give, give, give and need to start to receive, receive, receive!!!! Take time out to look after yourself, get better, and do a few more things that bring you joy, as it seems no one else is doing that for you.

sister sister on 2008-03-05 12:33:26 |

If I have a 3 minute conversation with my brother, then, that is pushing the boundaries for us both, is that normal? For me and my brother yes, for others no. I am not sure if there is a normalcy for families, you take what is good and bad and you use what you can. It sounds like Lisa, you know what you want and where you are going. This is your sister, love her for who she is and her faults, but dont confide in her, when you want to vent, go to someone else, when you want support and love, go to someone else, now when it comes to your sister, start working on a relationship that means something to you. Dont give her the things that you know she will simply throw back in your face and hurt you, give her only the part of your life that she wont hurt and then you can build a better relationship. As for the homeless, if you dont have the money to give, why would you simply do that? It brings you no joy, it brings neither of you benefit, but if you are thinking, she is right, I need to go out and help someone, why not shift the tables, anyone can give money, if you are so inclined, give up a hour of your time to help a charity like the homeless and when your sister says you are not funding them for there lifesytle you can agree, but then you can say, but I stop what I do each week and I give them a hour of my time to help them get through life, to expand and learn, rather then funding there lifestyle which may only help bring their down fall, so, we each help in our own way. If you dont feel the need to help the people in anyway, then dont do it, its as simple as that. Make a choice that suits you, and stick to that choice, your relationship will get better with your sister, if you just avoid giving her food for her criticism. As for leaving your job and going to another, if you are ready to move on, because you have acheived all you can at your current job, then go for it, but if its because you want to avoid your sister, I am not so sure its a good idea, you need to do things that make you happy, family are in our lives not by our choosing, but by genetic luck! How we love and accept our family and what kind of relationships we create with our family, really does come down to use, change the way you associate with your sister, and you might find that, you will start loving her more. Either way, good luck.

Wake up on 2008-03-05 12:17:12 |
|
Smiling, I usecd to get up at 5am, and leave my home at 5.30am, but it got too hard, I had nothing to do that I enjoyed when I first got up, so I would sleep in deliberately to avoid going to work, and hence, blogging so far this week has given me that me time, that something to look forward to and whilst I still may hit snooze, I relish getting up, especially because this is the time I make to read other peoples views which is also a beautiful time, sometimes hard though, when you see that not everyone has a blessed life.

Smiling, I guess it really depends on what you want from the net, sure there are some really annoying people that cross your path, just like in real life, and then you get to meet the most amazing people, just in real life. Its fun, you do it on a rainy day, when boredom has set in etc, and so, then it works, if its your solely your social interaction, it would suck.

You write about being nothing, and then you go into being someone, you really need to read back what you write. If you want to be a writer, then what is stopping you writing that book? The only thing holding you back is you, if you are unsure where to start, join some kind of writing course, who will give you prospective and a place to start. Good luck. One day, we will all be picking up a book with your name on it, and enjoying your stories.
