Happy belated birthday! What kind of cake did hubbie get you? Mine's never got me a cake. I'm glad he's doing nice things for you.... you deserve them.
Like you, I'm glad people read my posts and respond; but sometimes I feel some posts are misconstrued and half-read, too. I'm apparently guilty of the same thing because I got a couple comments yesterday that more or less said I didn't read it right. Guess that means I'm human.
Words - they sure get in the way of communication!
Hope you had a wonderful day and will have a terrific day today, too.
LookingUp

Thanks for the bday wishes, girls...it was a carrot cake LU, just a tiny one like for 2 people. When he asked me what I would like for my birthday I said a cake would be nice, so it's great he remembered that.
I also wanted and recieved a pocket watch for when I'm not at work, I get sick of wrist watches. And he got this really cool weather radio, that also has regular radio and you can listen to TV on it too. It has all the bells and whistles and our old one was so broke down we practically had to jump thru hoops just to barely hear the weather conditions. This one is put out by American Red Cross and has a big red cross on the main dial. It doesn't use a battery or electricity, there's this thing you wind on the side that charges the battery in there I guess. I think it's way cool!
He's always been pretty good about presents in general. And no more fancy lingerie since d day, LOL.
He also got for us a replacement wind sock for the one that got tore up. It is this huge! catfish, and it really looks like one swimming out there in the wind! We will need to get a stronger and taller pole before fish snaps the one we have, in a strong wind!
Yeah, the danged words can sure get in the way of communication....thanks LU for reminding me I'm human too!

Wow. Great gifts - sounds like he put some thought into the gifts.
Talking about words getting in the way. I read "winding sock" - since I'd just read about winding radio. I was wondering why you'd need socks that winded up! I've heard of people getting their panties in a wad - but never getting their socks needed winded up.

I'm feeling like crap, I think maybe I am just the crappiest person in the world.
I have hurt and triggered, just by trying to talk about myself, trying to be ME.
It's so crappy that I don't understand someone's thread, and try to offer help when I really don't even understand what they need.
It is crappy that I am misunderstood, tho my intentions were the best. The way to Hell is paved with good intentions, how well I know this...
It is just CRAP that my H is trying to connect with me, and I'm always half a wavelenght off. I am crappy girl
On Tuesday, we tried to make love. He is a premature you know what....and I feel like CRAP for failing him. I'm just not a bunny.
I just feel like CRAP tonight. Don't even know what I am doing here, really. I just feel like CRAP. Yadda, yadda whoohoo, And I know the world is filled with tiny violins, just for me.

I don't understand some threads too Whoami, sometimes just some reassurance like "take care", you must feel so sad etc is all you can offer.
You didn't fail him...HE is premature.
I have no violins for you, but I do have a shoulder and an ear...........................

whoami Sorry I missed you Bday but neat that your H got you that carret.... sorry it wasn't in a ring and a big one ;D you deserve one like that too. Cakes are good and don't believe anyone that tells you it isn't health food. I think it is at the top of that pyramid cakes and cookies and all that health food.... Anyway sorry if I insinuated that you were doing anything wring, Didn't mean that just to be careful and protect yourself from temptation and bad talk. Love to those g-babies give each a kiss from us. C2d

Thanks so much Adnyl for your words and support. And how are YOU doing? I think of you so often, and I too have a shoulder and an ear.
And thanks to you too Clean2! Yep I ate that cake for breakfast and it was good energy food. And I will be careful like you said. And I don't have any grandbabies, tho that sure sounds nice. And I would put a smiley face here if I could remember someone's instructions on how to that . I have a memory like a very worn out sponge, lol xox

Cake for breakfast - now that's class and style. I'd love to do that EVERY day. Followed by a candy bar for desert. Today I had fruit and toast with a bit of hash brown casserole isntead.
(((((((((((((( whoami )))))))) I'm sorry you felt attacked and misunderstood. I think that happens to all of us - especially here where we don't see facial expressions, hear tone of voice and already carry a semi-load of pain and hurt from not being heard or validated by our PAs for years and years. I'm glad you were able to work through it so quickly and find your smile and encouragement again. That's terrific.
LookingUp

Whoami: As the person who, at least in part, triggered your "Crappy" incident, I'm terribly sorry. (For those who want "the scoop", please visit my journal, linked at the bottom of my posts.) And yet, at the same time, I hope the end result of your discomfort that I caused by using your self-disclosure to "springboard" to my own self-disclosure was to find yourself in a much better place! I really enjoy your musings, I really admire your honesty, I feel a lot of positive "echoes" in myself when I read what you write here and elsewhere in the forum. Thank you for those gifts. Jinn

Hi Mayberry, yes I do find myself in a much better place, and I thank you for that! I have learned from it too, to read posts more slowly, and not just go off half cocked before I even get the whole message...I just posted on Health with Love thread that I have trouble with distraction and I'll be working today in my mind on how to address this. On the rider mower or doing no brainer tasks like yardwork, is a good time to do my mental workouts, lol. Thank you for your kind thought Mayberry, and I will get back to you soon...
Hi Rosie and LU! Thank you for the love, Rosie, and right back attcha!!! And LU, again you have just the right way of picking me up after I've fallen flat on my face. Bless you! Hope you are all having a great day. I need to get off of here in a bit, and get stuff done. But I'LL BE BACK as Arnold would say.
