Good day everyone,

It's pretty late in the day to start a roll call but what the hey. I was up pretty early this morning- - -and pretty crabby but managed to go back to bed for a while. I'm just having my first cup of coffee.

Has anyone heard from Rhonda? I really miss her....and I'm really sorry I spoke to her like I did. Joanne L and Rhonda moved on to another forum.

I have many, many regrets...but I'm trying. What else can a person do? The sun is not out which I'm happy about. I have all the windows open and there is a cool breeze coming into the house. I tried to get the cat up in the window but she's not having it.

I spoke with my friends mother. He is deceased. Her sister is in the hospital having ECT. She's Bipolar. Anyway, my friends mother has lost all 3 of her sons. Two to HIV and the third to an Oxycontin overdose. The Doctor told her it was a brain bleed and there was no need for an autopsy. Such a young vibrant man...cut down in the prime of his life.

Their childhood was abysmal. They were surrounded by alcoholics, abuse and they were witness to some graphic act's. I'm sorry to be graphic but it's the truth....and it explains why people grow up to be dysfunctional. Maybe I shouldn't have said that. She is in AA now and has been for many years. She realizes her mistakes. Edited to add: Remember Andrew?
RIP Boyd.

I have to read and re-read my posts to correct my spelling. I'm not the world's greatest typist.

Did any of you ever watch "Are you being served"? It was on PBS. Mrs. Slocombe (Molly Sugden) died at the age of 86. She was always talking about her p-ussy (meaning her CAT!!)

I would like to encourage everyone to start a daily roll call. Even if it's just a few of us. My computer is getting OLD and to be perfectly honest, I never know from one day to the next if it's going to work....so if I disappear, you'll know why. It sucks being poor!!


Have a wonderful day everyone......and thanks for stopping by!!

Phil
XOXOXO

Hey Phil. you know it is funny it almost seems as though I had more money when I was using but I know that isn't true. I just wasn't paying bills like I was supposed to.

That is terrible to grow up in such terrible circumstances. Far more turn to drugs and alcohol and carry on the tradition rather than getting help when they are old enough to. I wonder how many that turn to a life of using and such actually turn back at an older age. I am sure it is probably not enough. Just look at the prisons and the streets.

Feeling out of sorts today. Seems as though everybody has something to do except for me. I am stuck at home. You are right, being poor sucks.

Love ya,
((((((hugs)))))))

Hi! I was happy to see braintalk was back up. I am still alive and still clean. My daughter is still doing her thing, but the baby is okay. The drugs are limited to weed and booze...sure wish they would get clean, but no meth is an improvement. My HP has a plan. Bright Blessings to all!:D
