This is my BIGASS P.O.T.D while I try to catch up with everything that happened whilst I was doing the
thing this morning!
Sounds like you are very good with Regal. Animals tend to know when they are with someone they can trust
He is lucky that you came into his life.
Thankies! My sweety must think so too, because without me asking, or probing or any such thing, he GAVE Regal to me... at the time we'd only been together for 8 weeks. It was like "wooooah".... huge.
Sounds like you have done an excellent job with Regal - it takes a lot of patience to get through to abused animals.
That is interesting what they said about BPD (Borderline) as I was under the impression that that disorder results in even more erratic mood swings and fewer periods of normality than bipolar - just that you shouldn't get the swings into mania that come with bipolar (maybe that is what they meant) As I said after multiple periods of severe depression they diagnosed me with Borderline but I tend to have more stable relationships than borderline has too - thats also why I am asking because you seem to be quite stable with your boyfriend. Just ignore me if I frustrate you asking this - I'm just interested because of my own past.
The dogs I treated this morning died so I am not feeling so great about that - they were very ill, but still its not nice.
So sorry about those doggies passing.... That would have to be the worst thing in the world as a vet. Our local vet, you can see everytime he has to put an animal down, it takes its toll on him, he looks so depressed. But having them pass regardless of what you did would be harder...
And when I am WITH my boyfriend, I'm pretty stable, when we're apart, I spend the majority of the time paranoid, freaking out, missing him, crying, wishing I was with him and also freaking out that he's going to find someone better, who lives closer, that he'll realise I'm a big fat lump and not want me anymore, and quite a few times I've completely gone nuts and sent 100 text messages to him during the night, asking why he loves me and will he leave me for someone else.
The NIMH website says about it "People with BPD often have highly unstable patterns of social relationships. While they can develop intense but stormy attachments, their attitudes towards family, friends, and loved ones may suddenly shift from idealization (great admiration and love) to devaluation (intense anger and dislike). Thus, they may form an immediate attachment and idealize the other person, but when a slight separation or conflict occurs, they switch unexpectedly to the other extreme and angrily accuse the other person of not caring for them at all. Even with family members, individuals with BPD are highly sensitive to rejection, reacting with anger and distress to such mild separations as a vacation, a business trip, or a sudden change in plans. These fears of abandonment seem to be related to difficulties feeling emotionally connected to important persons when they are physically absent, leaving the individual with BPD feeling lost and perhaps worthless."
That paragraph there describes how I react with EVERYONE.... You should see the names I constantly call my dad behind his back, because his girlfriend is evil, and there have been a few occasions she's really upset me, had my in hysterics, and where does dad spend the night? At home with his daughter who can't sleep because she's so upset? No! At HER house with the person who caused his daughter so much distress. I spend the night screaming at the top of my lungs about what a jerk he is, hoping he can hear me (as she only lives next door).
Animals are the only thing that keep me properly sane... There was a time a few years ago, where I was so bad, I had thoughts of suicide, and the ONLY thing that kept me from it was my two Pomeranians and my cat that I had, because I didn't trust ANYONE to look after them the way I do, and to love them the way I do.
Moondance can you try crushing them and adding them to food may be! the concern about vit A is to much can case birth defects, my understanding is that it would have to be high amounts though. they would generally have safe amounts in supplements and the vit A you get from your food is in the form of beta carotene and would not have the same effects . I would ask the chemist or my doc if your worried or just swap when you get that BFP
oh and your amazing and always remember that
Meh, hard to feel that sometimes, but thank-you Celtic! BTW..... LOVE your smexy new avatar!
I don't tend to eat a lot of food with Vit A in it.... I'm not very big on the fruit and veg, which I know, UBER bad... I like my MEAT.... But maybe I'll ask a doctor about it, when I have my appointment on May 5th.... The liquid vitamin itself is called "HyVita LiquiVita", linked so maybe someone who knows about this stuff can have a squishy for me?
Crushing them doesn't seem to work for me, I mean, I can only take "Aspro Clear" soluble aspirin because its the ONLY brand on the market that dissolves 100%, while others leave white residue floating around and I can't even handle that. When it comes to things like tablets, drugs, whatever, I have the most sensitive gag reflex.
While I know its probably all in my head, partly created by my own hatred of pills, its developed over the years to the point where I have to have chewable Vitamin C tablets that taste like Orange, and whenever I'm on antibiotics, it has to be chewable or liquid! Doctors call me crazy, but they've seen me try it... Tablet hits my throat, I gag and throw up almost a second later.
Moondance - so sad about the abuse at the race track. I know there are good people in the racing industry, but i've heard far too many bad stories from the track...
Did I tell you and Moondance that my Mom is a ferrier? She also has a couple of carriages and morgans to pull her around in them ; P
Loads of baby dust as we approach ovulisciousness - hope y'all get some quality BDing in. No more pulled muscles though!
Awesome! I love going in horse drawn carts!!!!
Ovulisciousness!
Best word ever.
But I'm still around 20 days or so off that! Boo! Stupid 37 day cycles!
Thank you honeybee for the invite to join you lovely ladies!
You made me feel so special.
DH and I met [the first time] on a blind date, and I went to meet him up at his house. Turns out, that time I was soooo NOT attracted to him. Plus, we came to my apartment and he fell asleep in my couch....how lame!!! So I woke him up, took him back home, and never called him again. According to him, he was very interested, called me lots of times, but I never returned the calls. If you ask me, I can't recall him calling, but I guess since I was so uniterested I blocked any mental record of that experience.
Everyone here is special!
All beautiful ladies who are flipping awesome, EVERYONE HERE IS FULL OF WIN!
That sounds like me, Mimi, lol. When I first met DP, was not attracted to him at all, I thought "he's not exactly the prettiest man on the planet, he has a funny little lip, and his eyes crinkle funny when he smiles, and he's so weird" and for a long while, I was putting off meeting him, until my ex dumped me, and I decided to take the plunge and just go for it (even though at the time, I was more interested in his HORSES than in him as horses for me are like therapy, and I wanted to spend time with his horses and get my brain back into being normal after being dumped). Was planning to just be friends and all, but then.... he kissed me and it was like .... all gone now. Most beautiful kisser on the planet!
AND PLEASE, don't be all "its all my fault", no no no it isn't. You weren't to know that when the time came, it'd end up being so darn hard! When I was an early teen, I didn't think I ever wanted kids, and I constantly said there was no way I was having any (despite at the same time, having names picked out, just in case).
But nothing is your fault. Sometimes life throws unexpected bitchiness your way. I mean, I honestly didn't think I'd have any trouble having babies, my mum and my sister were both such fertile things, I mean, I was the proverbial "accident", mum and dad didn't plan me... But here is me trying, and not going anywhere. Life is a bitch like that and you can't blame yourself.
Tryfor - I'm happy for you...and I hope this is what you needed to get your bfp! And, I too would have the same question...is that too much for TTHF???
*noms on hair whilst
*
I feel like a spazzy idiot, coz I still don't know what TTHF means....
TryFor you are hilarious. Maybe softcups are fun? If they are fun then they definitely fit into the tthf approach. Maybe the spermies trampoline on the softcups!
Unfortunately my Dad lost his battle to cancer in 2006 - a year after DH and I got married. He was very healthy for our wedding which was such a blessing - he had a great time and it was awesome to share that day with him.
I had the most incredibly awesome visual of spermies jumping up and down on a softcup trampoline.... accompanying sound effect in my head was a very comical "boinga boinga boing" as they bounced, accompanied by high pitched, maniacal giggling. ROFL
Damn cool!
My mum passed away from cancer in 2003.... It took too long.
Strangely now after all these years, I can't remember anything good about my mother, all I can remember is all the horrible, weird, psycho things she did to my brother and I, but if you ask my sister, she remembers her as this saintly person who was so sweet and kind and loving, it makes me go
Well Jaimie, you have me on a rollercoaster of emotions here. First I was
about the soft cups...spermies on a trampoline...OMG!
Well girls, I'll be off to bake some biscottis soon. Talk to you later.
Yup, I'm still giggling over my head visual. "Boinga Boinga Boinga"....
Whats a biscotti???
Um, have I mentioned that I LOVE this group?
Moondance - sounds like you have a natural gift with animals - that's wonderful. I have known a couple of people like that and it's like the animals can sense it - it's very special!
Hey, my Dad says 'well, I'll be dipped in shit' too! He is pretty crass though - manages to fit a swear word into almost every sentence he says.
For some reason, one of the sayings in our family is "Holy shit on a rock!" .... or if someone says "Whats for dinner?" Mum used to say "shit on toast!"
No, we don't have any chickens, though we've discussed it! We have a gigantic garden and some apple trees.
Chickens are the proverbial bomb. IMO, Isa Brown and Rhode Island Reds are fantastic layers, but make sure they're purebred, purebred appear to not go clucky, but every mixed bred one I've ever gotten has gone broody.
If you want to breed your own chickens, silkies are the best egg sitters! They go broody so easy and so often! They make great parents too!
And the coolest breed of chicken on the planet? A Frizzle! Look em up! They are just spunky!
LuckyD - I LOVE this thread too, it's good to talk about other stuff other than
,
,
, and
!
But... sex talk can be fun! LOL
Bow Chicka Wow Wow!
Erm, think I addressed anything directed to me with my post of doominess! Now I get to go and look after my chickens!
Glad you enjoy Delaware Park - such a treasure.
Ohhhh I just got chills up my spine!!! Feel better sweetheart!
