DOOM BREAK: Let's have a good ole fashioned coffee klatch!

Having a coffee and a smoke right now.

:frog:


I'll check out your video.

Now I become a writer and story teller....


I really am so loving this turn in my life....

Let the troubles of the world melt away....heh, you having problems with that?

Then first please do sit and do this meditation--

And then let's just talk about our lives....because I'm really hoping youse guyses have more going on in your lives than the horror show we're watching.


Me? I am now retired!....

And the best news of all?....when I applied for my SS retirement, I found out I was going to get almost double the amount, because I had been married over 10 years.

I'm still, almost a week later, breaking out in fits of giggling with joy because of this AWESOME NEWS!


Oh also, I'm starting Chantix today to quit smoking....

Please, no lectures about quitting smoking. Cigarettes are my one remaining nemesis I have left in life (I hope). It's one I HAVE to conquer.

I have before taken Chantix, at a half dose, because it made my brian a little floatie and because I was working, but it did KILL my desire to smoke....it blocks the nicotine receptors, or something like that.

But now, I'm not working and driving - I don't even own my own car - and I'm not in any strenuous relationships, so I'm going to go for it!

Of course, if I start to have any of the bad reactions to it, I'll back off of it, and regroup. I am wanting it to be the "magic pill"....I need a magic pill on this one.


....and reflecting back on a conversation yesterday wherein I was being told I was giving my power away to cigarettes, I suppose I still am doing that.


Heh, you'd think with my vast wealth of experience overcoming crap, this would be a cake walk. It is not.

I am clearly seeing now how it is siphoning off my power from me....

So, I have good news, then some more good news, then I'm struggling....


How about youse guyses?....I know you've still got to have lives going on....

I just stopped in to say hello! Glad to hear your good news. It's always nice not to have to worry about paying your bills!

Hello, my friend and VEEP....


Yes, it's tickling me pink I'm not going to have to struggle in my golden years. I don't need a lot, but I probably would've struggled a bit without the added extra SS income from being married.

My son, and now this extra bit of money....that's all I got out of my marriage. Well, that and a whole lot of grief.


....between you and me, sister, I wish it would've come directly out of his SS, so he would've gotten less, but it's not going to affect him. I know how spiteful that is...but ya know, he left his wife (me) with an infant child...and I am human. If I wasn't so turned off by the legal system, I probably would've taken him to civil court for back child support once I found him.

My son and I have made it through, but it was not easy...it was damn hard and even heart breaking at times. He fucked up my baby's head, and for that I will never forgive him....and I sure as hell will never forget.

Yeah, I have some bitterness for him...and I'm okay with it. He deserves it.

Haha that video was great. Good luck with quitting. They say that every attempt to quit makes your odds go up or something like that, but every time I try and fail it just makes it harder to start the next try.

I understand where you're coming from. Some people just deserve to suffer for being terrible human beings.

I love-love seeing your face in your AV!....

Congrats on your retirement!!



Good luck on quitting! Nicotine is the hardest habit to break. It's rough, but you can do it!

I'm still trying to get comfortable with the idea I have no job to go to. In fact, I would still be working AND collecting my SS if it weren't for my spine....well, and my bosses inability to stick to the work schedule we had agreed on. She loaded me up with an over 10 hour day, doing this knowing I've been advised by my spinal doc that I had to quit the job now.

I quit the job on a dime. No way was I going to deal with the pain fallout. I later found out two other drivers quit the same day. The company has gone from 35 drivers, to 14. She's fucking up her business.

And now she's dragging her heels on paying me my last pay ($250)....heh, and while I'd like to bust my gut on her, I'm not going to. I'm being congenial, for now.

I'm going to make one more attempt to get the money, by Friday, or I'm going to go to whatever ABC agency it is that takes care of employers doing this....and she is doing it out of spite, not because they don't have the money to pay their employees.

I would think she should know me better than this. We've had many conversations, and she very well knows I don't shrink before purported "authority."

Awe, you're sweet! Someone called me a monkey the other day. Eh, monkeys are cute!

Where are they? Who were they?....I'm just in the mood to bitch slap someone, with pizzazz....


I think you are brave. I don't think I could ever post my 62 year old face anywhere....
