Tales From Janet Land

"Post traumatic stress counselling"....Sounds like my experiences with waxing!!

Awesome post, Mel!I'm glad that your Mom got her results and am so super, super glad that she has a doctor who investigates and THEN medicates! I'm sure that will become a blessing in the time to come.Dr. A**hole...If the name fits...

I hereby consider myself tagged, too.By the way, I have grey and pink plaid capri pants set aside at work...I plaid pants!

I'm still jealous.

Schmooze.I'll have to get on this...

How come your cranky posts are so upbeat?I really liked this...

I'm trying not to be excited because I finally managed to get on your blog...this wasn't what I expected to read. Gosh...wish I had something wonderful and helpful to say, AJ.

Okay, I'm sorry...but that last line had me laughing out loud.Since I'm Canadian, I don't feel I ever have the right to say anything about your president, but damn...

I'm excited, too!Hey...if the American Boy and I ever have a baby, can I have a lesbian baby shower, too?

There's this famous story about a taxi driver that my Mom always tells me when I get discouraged with the human race as a general whole (and remember, I work in retail so this happens quite a bit!). Anyway, the cab driver said that ninety percent of people are good eggs...treat people well, speak politely and are overall nice to be around. The other ten percent are pure a**holes. So why do we only remember the ten percent?

Now I'm crying!Just keep loving him, Stu. That's what he needs... the love he didn't get enough of when he really needed it from the people who were supposed to give it.

Amy...have I told you lately that your life is like something out of a movie?

Mr. Hotty made me laugh.The picture of Kota is so sweet...he looks so proud!I think that the karate will be so beneficial for Kota... they learn really valuable lessons along with the actual karate.

Oh sh*t...I know that you're going through it and not trying to go around it......but I *promise* you that you will get to the other side. There are no quick routes. There are no fast getaways. Not here in Janet Land and not there in, um, Starry Ville. I wish that there was something I could say that would make this feel a bit better for you, but since I can't I'm just going to tell you that we're all here for you, in whatever capacity you need and whatever capacity we can give. Don't be scared of saying the same thing over and over again! That's how we release things.And for what it's worth..having someone who wants you and loves you doesn't actually make it that much easier. Trust me on this one, okay?

When you read someone's blog, at the top where it says, "User Center" "Write Post"...that kind of thing...there's something that looks like a cross and it says, "Add Friend". Just click on that to add the person you're reading..And welcome to MyBloggers!
