in high school i had a friend named scott WHO "CLICKED with me immediately!!!! we have stayed friends ever since. he was nearly as smart as i was and we would carry on COMPLETE conversations using the first letters of every word. it drove our classmates insane!!!! it was our "secret language" . we could stand right in front of some one and say " LAS (pause) STSLSG (pause) BIBSGTP!!!!!!!
transalation: Look At Susan. She Thinks She Looks SO Good. But I Bet She's Gained Ten Pounds!!!!!
i am SO overwhelmed right at this moment that i can't concentrate!!!!!! i have taken on SO many work assignments that i don't know where to start!!!! my house is a mess, i just got a two month gas bill that's THREE times the normal amount because i forgot to pay it.
a creditor just called me, FORGOT to pay that one too!!!!!! no one is here today except me ( president's day) because i have SO much work!!! it took me two hours just to sort through it all and set up apointments. MERCIFULLY
i am a WOMAN for god's sakes and i can get a shower, shave legs, moistureize and be FULLY dressed and OUT of the bathroom in under 15 minutes, 10 minutes if i am in a hurry!!!!!
NOT my husband. i don't know exactly WHY this bothers me, but it does. except maybe because we have one bathroom. ( WHY did i buy this house 10 years ago with ONE bath!!!!!!????) when HE gets in the bathroom you can COUNT on waiting a MINIMUM OF 45 MINUTES.

i don't know why, but even though most of my long term memory is EXCELLENT, sometimes i can't remember things unless someone brings it up. anyway, our company accountant ( my dad's best friend) is a retired FBI agent. he's one of the MOST interesting people i know. for some reason he started talking about lie detector tests yesterday and it brought back a memory.
back in the early 80's i worked for a bank and took another bank job in atlanta. atlanta is a LOT more "picky" about who they hi
before the stroke, i was very communicative and would write ALL of the time. i was working on several books simoultaneously. i even had a few small things published. no big deal, no hurry, i have PLENTY of time!!!!!
NOT!!!!!
anyway, it took this site to pull me out of my shell. i was so humiliated that i couldn't communicate in the same way, verbally or written, that i only spoke enough to "get by" and did not read a book or write a word for nearly a YEAR!!!!!
i was too scared.
before all of the dog lovers in the world get upset, let me say that this story ends happily.
BARKING DOGS!!!!!!
when i first moved into my quiet little neighborhood nearly ten years ago, the people living on either side of me were "cat people". after a couple of years a family moved in on the east side next door with FIVE DOGS. right after THAT, a single woman moved in to the west next door with one cocker spaniel that was a REAL barker and to top it off, she rarely was home and paid
i took a "personality" test online. after i finished i was reading the results. ..."loyal, very likable, humorous( hey, i LIKE this test!!!), honest, etc....
THEN, the final analysis...." while this test does not take the place of the opinion of a licensed therapist, our results reveal that you appear to have a PARANOID PERSONALITY DISORDER AND SHOULD SEEK IMMEDIATE THERAPY FOR THIS..."
ME? PARANOID!!!!! i just sat back and took a LONG hard look at myself. let me see, i wouldn't l
LAST FRIDAY WAS THE HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE ( at least in the last 10 years) i went into a store to buy cigarettes and the girl behind the counter said" i need to see some ID". I JUST CHUCKLED ( I'M 42) and handed her my money. she then withheld my cigarettes and said again" ID PLEASE' i then realized that she was SERIOUS!!!!!!
i was absolutely shocked. i said" girl, do you know how OLD i am?" she then explained that they ask everyone who appears 30 or younger. i about came over the
i have come to terms that my memory and motivation may never be the same. i have plenty of work to do right now but can't dredge up the concentration to do it. clients calling and calling and calling about work. real busy and too tired to do it!!!!!
makes me sad i am not the same anymore. i used to be a post herald spelling bee winner and now i have to carry around a pocket dictionary. but since i'm never sure what is misspelled, i can't remember to look everything up!!! i leave myself mess
i can't think of any external reason for this. but for the past three days i have had a sense of impending doom, and am afraid of everything!!! it's almost like i am agoraphobic but i keep "pushing ahead" like nothing is wrong. it's maddening!!!!
my hands are sweaty and i feel shaky. i am having nightmares and am hearing little noises like a cell phone or slot machine in the distance. it's weird. today i had to drive a few miles to an appointment and i thought i was going to pass out from
i love my mother with ALL my heart. however, she has graduated to the "annoying" category too. she's always been the kind to get panicky. but the past year since my stroke has put her into overtime!!! she leaves all of these panic stricken messages if i don't call her back IMMEDIATELY, or if i don't answer the phone.
two weeks ago i decided to sleep all day saturday. the husband was out of town and the step daughter was visiting her mother ( who is in prison). i turned the phone off. abou
at first when he started annoying me ( back in 1995) i have thought on and off again about divorce. a lot more recently since my stroke. i'm no stranger to divorce. 8 years the first time( to an abusive sports freak), less than a year the second time ( to a REAL freak) and 10 years on the 20th of this month to, well, just a plain out irritating and annoying person!!!!
i'm sure many people wonder if all of this divorce is MY fault. i have really pondered that question and the answer is a flat
i work for my dad's company so i see him every day. i swear to god that since he has gotten older he has turned into one of the LAZIEST people in the world!!! if i didn't have my mother to talk to about him ( you have to be blood related or married to him to REALLY appreciate these comments) i would go crazy!!! i answered the phone and the lady asked for HIM. then i went outside to smoke and he came out there and told me i had a phone call. it was that SAME woman. all she wanted was something e
jean thinks i need to keep up a blog i'm sure because my posts are so LOOOOONNG!!!!!!! i will admit that i have a tendency to go on & on & on & on !
anyway, since i had my stroke i just keep getting madder. i don't know if it is ME that is getting more annoyed, or that other people are becoming MORE annoying!!!!
for instance, it annoys me the way our telephones ring here at the office. it's this high pitched wooonnnggg. that in itself is annoying enough. however, to add spark
first of all, let me say that i think i am a grumpy, cynical, pessimistic, and suspicious person by nature. however, these traits have been intensified since i had my stroke. on the flip side, i can find humor in JUST about everything, no matter how dismal and this goes for death issues. of course i am not callous enough to feel or act innappropriately "silly" when someone i love dies, but, somehow, when enough time passes, if nothing else, i remember, write down and talk about funny things th
