Too much bad news...

[crestofwaves]

...is making my head hurt!

Can you post something, anything, positive that has happened to you  or that you read about in the past few days?  Help me out, here.  :(

It is so nice to hear everyones positive stuff.  I am glad you posted this Crest, even though I know it came from a sad place for you.

Today I worked in my husband's office, they were short staffed, so I went in and did paperwork.  Working with him is fun, I just have to be careful not to call him sweetie.

My 20-month old grandson can stack his blocks in a single, one-on-top-of-the-other tower as high as he is tall - And he's TALL for his age.

Accomplishing this feat of engineering thrills him almost as much as knocking them down, and starting all over again.

Maybe for some office sex ?

The gardener's son left the gate open a gap when they left yesterday while I was taking mail to the post office, when I got home our new little dog Wiggles was sitting on the front porch waiting for me. He didn't run away just wanted to get back inside. That was good news, he's only been with us for a month.

That IS good news. He must like it there.

I had a dog that would dig her way out of the fenced in back yard so that she could come to the front door and scratch and howl to come inside.

I spent Saturday in Cape Coral, over on the Gulf...weather was a bit drippy but a good day...did a lot of catching up with some old friends..thinking we will do this again soon.
It's been a really wet few days...lots of street flooding..all was ok here and it promises to be another beautiful sunny warm day in FL.

Sorry to disappoint, Frenchy and Chief.....but my friend is a lady. She is another Marine Mom. Her son flew with mine in Iraq. She lives in a sort of "group home" in Fredericksburg. She is battling cancer, so she needed a place near Mary Washington Hospital, since she doesn't drive. She only has one little room and kitchen privileges, so she really likes to come over here where she can stretch out and do whatever she wants. And I don't like being alone in this big house. So it is beneficial to both of us to hang out together. I have someone to talk to, and she has a lot more space. We cook great food, watch movies, and play on our computers. No hinky stuff. I wish I had a guy to hang with while Dave is gone; it would be much more fun!

I was at a party last night and one of our friends was very drunk and started being very obnoxious, would not leave me alone.  Today I was sitting outside and he came over and apologized.  He felt so bad about his behavior.  I wasn't mad at him, just more surprised and he could have called, but he came over and did it face to face.  I thought that was very nice.

Boose will cause that . I never liked going out with my work buddies because when theey got lit they wanted to pick . I am not a picker and I don't like arm wrestling ...

I am of the firm belief that a person reveals who they really are when drunk.  Alcohol breaks down the inhibitions that hold us in societal norms when sober, and we let our inner self out.  Sometimes it's silly....sometimes it's violent.....sometimes it's sarcastic and mean.......sometimes it's obnoxious and argumentative.  With me, it's flirtacious.  I used to tend bar, and I saw people turn into an entirely different person when they drank that one drink too many.  My son-in-law can drink beer all day.....but give him two mixed drinks, and he wants to fight anyone in the room.  When someone apologizes to me and uses the, "It's not me, it's the alcohol" excuse.....I always take it with a grain of salt; I believe it was not the alcohol and was, indeed, what that person was thinking or feeling on the inside.  It was good of him to apologize in person.....but I would be wary.

Karin, I have TWO personalities when I have had too much to drink.  Something like a Long Island iced tea makes me happy and full of life.  Wine makes me miserable.  After two glasses, I spill my guts to anyone who will listen, cry, etc. I wonder what that's all about?
