how about drinking?
Comments
-
mu hubby is jelous of the boards, but if I'm not on them I 'm watching tv in the front room and he's in the family room, so he can smoke outside the back door & watch he's shows. No smoking allowed in the house!
-
Mine's an info. systems boy(he's almost 50, can I call him guy? Boy just isn't cutting it for mine, LOL). I also don't get any computer stuff. He finally made learn some things a few years back. Now I can't live w/o my email. I read the newspaper online, I rarely use the phone anymore. Emails cut down on alot of useless chatter. But am still learning all the post lingo and other related items.

Weel I think I'm going to find my pills and go to bed.
Nite all -
I'm off, also. I've got work tomorrow. Don't have too much fun w/o me. G'Nite.
-
It's 3:30. Just got off of work. No need to go anywhere else today, except my evening walk later on. Anybody want to share a glass of Merlot with me?
lini -
It's 5:30p here and I'm having a froz strawberry dacq - and trying to figure out how to add an "avatar" photo thingy here! Wish me luck, and enjoy that Merlot! (I'm a Pinot Grigio gal myself... or maybe a Riesling!)
DogMother -
Good luck. I still haven't tried the whole photo post thing yet.
-
Hey! The Bacardi must have worked! I did it! Finally, the darn photo showed up! Whoo-hoo...
(Shuffles off for a refill...)
Enjoy that Merlot - looking forward to see who else is up for "happy hour" today/tonight...
DogMother with a photo... finally!
ps - that gorgeous beast is one of our GSD girls, Athena. She is my "warrior" dog and always sleeps right against my side of the bed at night... she is my protector and heaven forbid if I go through this battle... will be in my "visualizations" for sure. She's the best! (And the smartest dog we have!) -
Dogs are great. Mine got me through my dx and sx. Mine's the best!! Okay, they're both the best!!
-
i'm a pathetic wine drinker, but i'll join ya'll with my beer in hand........been gardening all day.
-
I'm here. Got my wine.

I was reading the panic attack thread. Do you girls ever get them? I get them, but usually at the strangest times when my mind is quiet, like when I'm driving and listening to music. Got one the other day at the beach. My family and I were on a bike ride having a relaxing ride and boom, out of the blue, my heart starts racing. I don't get the timing of these things.
-
I have only had two in my life, both unrelated to cancer. They were SO frightening, I felt like I was going to die.
I'm glad I don't have real anxiety issues...gotta be a tough way to live~ -
I hate anxiety. Have always had it. My almost 24 yr old son has real issues with it. Major social anxiety for him. My daughter 21 would call me up regularly when she first went away to college. We figured out that hers is related to her cycle. She has since learned to exercise more when she's pms'ing. I wonder if it's hereditary or if they picked it up from me. I try really hard not to vocalize things. Just psyche myself out of them as quietly as possible. My grandmother had a lot of anxiety. She was always worried about something. Even was hospitalized one time in her early 50's. I don't feel like I'm going to die, but it catches me off guard and I lose my breath. Sometimes if nobody is around I have to grab my chest and talk to my heart and calm it down. Thank goodness this has worked so far. Have only needed meds every now and then for really stressful times, like 6 months ago, and then only used probably 6 ativans over two months.

i had one once.....long before BC.......in an airport in cabo waiting for my luggage......mackenzie was about 5 or 6 and i got it in my head that she was "lost".........what a horrible/out of control feeling.......i felt paralysed! (meanwhile she was exactly where i toold her to wait).......it took me the whole trip to get past it!
looking back, i realize i had tons of other stuff going on and was probably on overload........my SIL has tons of panic attacks that really affect her work.........but my brother really doesn't help her at all.........i really feel for her! -
That is the scariest of all. That horrible feeling that your baby is missing. That is pure, real panic. Oh, how I hate not being in control. I'm getting much better, but it does take a conscious thought process to let go.
-
Not to change the subject, but, am I drunk? Or does this site keep crashing tonight?
-
That's okay. I'm not crashing. I did notice the other night and have noticed before, that if I go to a chat room I either get knocked out of there, or I can't resign in to the disc. boards without restarting my comp.

Vicki
Your avatar always makes me picture you sitting in a bubblebath with a glass of wine. A lady of leisure. Please tell me that your life is this glamorous so I can live vicariously through you. -
aarrggghhh...first night I have been free in days, but it's making me crazy...I go to switch pages, and then it says something like, "the server may be busy." Maybe it's time to go READ, instead!
-
I picture Shel either pulling weeds, laying out in the sun, or looking for her kitty cat, with a beer in hand, of course.
Janis is sitting with a lap top, a glass of wine, and her doggies laying at her feet. -
LOL! I work L&D, which is a VERY stressful environment, and I am a serious "type-A." However, on my yearly trip to Las Vegas, I pretend I am a glamorous lady of leisure! Last year, my husband insisted we get a spa suite, so that bath cost me $50 a day. I made SURE to take my "fifty dollar bath" every day of that trip!
-
lololol......i find that the site crashing often coincides with deletions of remarks that are unwelcome!!!!!!!
lini......i identify with what you're saying.......what a paralyzing feeling!
going to pull more weeds! -
I know R&D is research and development, HR is human resources, TS is tech support, IS is Info systems.
What's L&D? -
I picture Peggy googling pictures of every conceivable topic ever discussed here.
-
RobinTn is upstairs as far away from her basement with a BUD in hand.
-
oops, sorry! L&D = Labor and Delivery
-
Ohhh!! That must be interesting. You deserve a bubble bath girl.
-
Interesting, yes.
Glamorous? Most definitely, no. -

Nope! Tonight it's scotch (my fave, 15 year Glenlivet) and the dogs are all crashed out from their exciting morning visit to Petsmart for nail trimming and then wandering around the yard all afternoon since I was off today so I was mowing and weeding while they were forraging for rotten pears and birdseed! (blech!)
