You go, Martin! You look real neat-o (yeah, that's an expression you should remember) in that exercise outfit of yours and whatever is tough can only get easier...I hope...and you hope!
I read this and watched the video with my eyes all tearing up...so touching and sad, but there's some pride there, too, in me and in those women and, of course, in all veterans. A beautiful post.
First...why is it YOU that has to find a daycare? If he's the one that "normally" has Kevin, and he's the one that needs to have other arrangements, then why isn't he the one that is working on finding the daycare and/or making the arrangements?
I like the sound of how the holidays will work out. Seems amicable and everybody should get their share of holiday joy.
How great you found your friend! I just recently "re-discovered" a high school friend that I haven't seen or heard from since our graduation. I took a chance, just like you (but on MySpace)... and surprise, surprise ... he's a member. We're now friends on the site. (By the way, I'm on facebook, too, in case you wanna hook up as friends with me on there, too.)
Very nice! Don't see anything like that around here anymore.
What a great opportunity to help kickoff some great programs. And, how wonderful it is that there's a center like this. With so much more to do and so much more to accomplish, some good and positive things have come into being. Some things have changed since my younger years. I think you have a great suggestion there, Martin, I hope there will be enough interest for such a program. (Hint: if not, suggest a support group for anyone recovering from any major surgery and/or those feeling the effects of such surgery that a loved-one is dealing with. It'll be great if it can be limited to those with heart-related surgeries, but it might be a show of numbers that will determine the creation of any group.)
All good, positive stuff there, Martin. The sort of stuff you always believed in and promoted. So, let me take you up on this and say thank you to you for being such a good friend who continues to have a good influence on me.
I received an email from a friend in CA that stated a complete list of all businesses known to be owned or run by those who oppose gay marriages in CA has been compiled so that all members of the gay community and others who do support gay marriage can boycott the businesses. You know this is going to go back and forth, up and down, like rides on a playground before it's all finally settled, but every effort must be made to make sure that how it ends up is in the position that returns the right to marry to same-sex couples so that the rights to marriage will be equal among all citizens.
Yes, he is definitely a winner!
Hey, this video is good! I really like the song. It's got a great sound to it, so I guess I really like it. Maybe I'll go look for videos for the other songs you have listed.
Wow, she's quite good. I liked it. Pretty girl, too.
Well, depression is something I've fought long and hard against and it isn't something that just comes on overnight, nor is it something that goes away overnight. People who have never had it sometimes can not understand that, which is why people sometimes have a hard time figuring out why I'm having a bad spell when I'm so good at other times. So many things cause it. Something such as major surgery can do it, add on what was going through your mind prior to the surgery and I think you have a good start for an explanation in your case. The meds are there, too, still some questions about your physical health, and...well, you know what I'm getting at. You can help your therapy a lot by noticing your sunny skies, the singing birds, taking pictures of smiling faces...just keep those good, happy things surrounding you and avoid anything that brings about gloom and shadows. And don't be afraid to think of things that will certainly bring on a smile!
Yeah, isn't it sad. His wife is so sweet...Play Dough, a dear, a female dear...loved the Doughboy so much. I once heard her say that, although the giggly fellow didn't rise on every occasion, his breadstick was always poppin' fresh! Now, isn't that grands?
I can't believe I'm actually here on time to play! Hmmmmm, let me think... I guess it's underwear.
All very funny and that last quote is amazingly true.
Oh, Martin, that's great news about your heart and how well you are coming along physically, it really is. I know you are having other problems and I can only hope that the new meds recommended will help. Hang in there, ok? You've got to promise you will not give up or give in to the depressive mood you are in. Keep reminding yourself that it isn't you, it isn't because something wasn't right about the surgery, and there really isn't anything wrong with your mind, either. It's a glitch...caused by the "what the heck" on your brain by the "tampering" with your heart. Your heart is better, now your brain has to catch up with it so it can feel better, too.
