Nikki - I think of you often, as well. Patti bought me satelite T.V. for Christmas and I've been watching a fair bit of BBC World News, as well as some BBC-Canada and BBC-Kids. Ana is hooked on "Maid Marion & Her Merry Men" (or something to that effect).
Too bad we can't get each other's local stations; that would be cool. I do watch the news from Newfoundland occasionally, or watch a really bad take off on "Cops" (no, not "To Serve & Protect"; this is even worse) on a Northern Canadian station. It is a local production from one of the new provinces that use to be the Northwest Territories. It is absolutely hilarious (or terribly sad, depending upon one's view); almost all police calls were alcohol-related.
Anyway, take care and we'll chat soon.
BTW - We will be going to Florida the first and fourth weeks of October for lawyer stuff. I have to give depositions in week 1 and arbitration is during the 4th week. Keep your fingers crossed that this nightmare will see some sort of closure....
Love Cam

Hey Nik and everyone else
I wish I could read everyone's posts but I'm limited as to time in the library so I just hope you are all doing well or improving. I'm on the way down yet again. The ups and downs of divorce are pretty hellish. Never have I been treated with such disrespect or betrayal by someone I *thought* I knew. I mean, you'd think that after 17 years, you'd know someone. Nope. Had no idea I was married to such a lowdown, dirty, common letch. It's hitting me hard daily, hourly sometimes. It's totally overwhelming and I'm having a lot of trouble dealing with it. I don't have a support system now that I have no computer and going it alone is pretty hard. NOt much hope for any kind of future, ya know? Just a future full of misery and lonely despair. Sounds like fun don't it?
Ah well, I wish there was good news that I could convey but I doubt there will be much of that for quite awhile.
Hang in there (all of us:)
love
tina

Ah, Maid Marion is briiliant!!! It has Tony Robinson in who is a genius (he was also Baldrick in Blackadder if you've ever seen that.. if you haven't and get a chance DO!!) I love the singing in it!!!
The BBC do come up with some great kids progammes.. I was always a BBC kid.. never the other channels!! We still watch the BBC more than any other channel, the quality of programming is much higher in my opinion.
Oh hun... *hugs* Is this all still not over?? I do hope this means an end to it - I'll be sending tons of positive vibes your way.
Hang in there buddy

It's good to hear from both of you, I wish you had better stuff to look forward to.
Best of luck on the hassles that await, I'm sorry you have to go through them.
You'll both be in my thoughts.

Good luck with the depositions, etc. Take a deep breath and know that we are with you. I really hope the justice system comes through for you on this.

Just watched The Railway Children last night for the 2nd time (I think enough time had elapsed so it was like watching it for the 1st time). Such a lovely story.

Most of my internet access comes from uni or my boyfriend's place, and I don't want to access this site from either computer, so that's why I'm absent a lot. Plus things are just really hard. My nan died the other week, and everything is just getting on top of me. I can't remember what its like to have a boring life. Not that I want a boring life - I just want all the exciting good things to start happening. But a boring life is much prefered to all the badness that's been going on this year. Too much has happened. It's all too much. I don't get enough time to deal with one thing before something else horrible happens, and so its all built up into a phenomenal bubble of hell.
On a good note - I am eating healthy and getting back to my old size. Yay. But sleeping has gone to hell, too. Either I don't fall asleep at all (my usual) or I'm starting to wake up, completely alert, between 4am and 5. That's a new thing for me. Weird. There's something going on in the world right now. It's just so tumultuous. Like this afternoon - we got evacuated from the building my class was taking place in at uni. Last year two people were killed in a shooting in the building (its 11 storeys - the highest building at uni). I didn't hang around to see why we were evacuated today. Just got out and left. It's bizarre. Like last week. Funeral monday, uni exam tuesday, driving on 'holiday' for three days wed, thur, fri, but instead ended up bedridden with what I was convinced was a tumour in my head (but I think it was just a 3-day migraine) working Sat plus my sister's engagement party Sat night, sick as sick as sick can be all day Sun, evacuated from uni Monday. This is what my life is continually like. It's ridiculous and I can't handle it.

Man, life just sucks sometimes. I'm very sorry to hear about your nan, and your migraine, and your insomnia. I've been battling insomnia also, and it is just awful.
I do hope things will space out a bit more for you so you can deal with things before more crap happens!
Take care--you sound good, even though times are obviously hard.

Rach,
I'm so sorry to hear about your nan passing away.
It sounds like you have really been on stress overload. Bigtime.
I wish I had some great advice, but all I can think of right now is Take a Deep, Slow Breath. Repeat often.
I hope the craziness around you calms down real soon.

Hi Nikki -- are you the same NikkiT2B I sent over from WGUK a million years ago? I've been "away" from PB for a long time, but have come back since the meds aren't working so well anymore. Thought I"d check in.

Au contraire, my good fellow, one does not want to be labeled "ignorant" at any cost. Ignorance is not bliss. To use such a thing to rationalize an unpleasant event, emotion or mood is a cop out, a subterfuge to escape what is really bothering you. One must grab the bull by the horns and twist because that bull will just create more bullshit to hinder your true potential in life. Who needs that utter nonsense? Neither you or I. Got it? Horray for Hollywood.
How are you?

Alli - How sad & worrying & stressful about your kitty hun.
Our 13 year old cat has diabetes. I use a human blood testing kit to test her blood - poke her ear for blood - she doesn't even notice it! My vet showed me how. This way I don't have to take here there to get her blood checked! It's very easy to do. I also give her her insulin. I am terrified of needles & the thought of GIVING a needle TOTALLY freaked me out, but you just pull their skin up & poke it in at the bottom of the lump of furry skin & she doesn't even notice it. I decided to use shorter needles than the one the vet taught me with! I used saline solution at the vet's office to learn! Yikes.
As to all the other stuff, Alli - you have a lot on your plate without all the other stuff, don't you. My thoughts are bigtime with you.
luv, Kath
