Glad to hear all went well with your sons b-day. Sorry to hear about the job.


~If there was a deep, dark secret (or many of them) in one of your parents lives ... would u want to know? -Depends on the situation
~Acid is invading your stomach. U reach for ... ? - WHAT?
~Are u doing for a living what you would like to be doing, or are u just doing something for right now until you can get to where you *want* to go?- I don't know anymore
~Do u feel like a grown up? -Elaborate please K

Wait, whose stomach am I invading?

Glad you had some fun.
Happy your son had an awesome birthday!
I hope your guy can get the help he needs to get better.
You take care sweetie.

I lol'ed.

Yay for happy kids parties and vacationing in your own city

Hey thier ...

~If there was a deep, dark secret (or many of them) in one of your parents lives ... would u want to know? What if it involved YOU in some way? I sadly know most of my parents deep dark secrets...they were always pretty open with me and my sister...to a fault. Some of those secrets are horrible, and I really resent my father for a lot of them.

~Acid is invading your stomach. U reach for ... ? (hey, my son wants to know, this was out of the blue for me, too) A glass of milk

~Are u doing for a living what you would like to be doing, or are u just doing something for right now until you can get to where you *want* to go? I have no idea anymore...but I do like what I'm doing right now, and I've always wanted to be around animals...I feel comfortable where I am for a change.

~Do u feel like a grown up? Elaborate. I don't.
I feel like I've made a lot of irresponsible mistakes and choices...

One day at a time on the mountain of obligations--I'm in touch with that but each little thing *does* help.
1. I would definitely want to know--I like the idea of knowing my parents as people, not just parents and that includes the lives they had before me or are hiding.
2. Start w/Tums or Rolaids (I prefer rolaids) if that doesn't do the trick then go to Pepto. If it's happening kinda often, move to zantac or prilosec (avoid this if possible, they're a bit pricy) and if that doesn't do it, ya gotta go to the doctor.
3. I don't have a job, I have a calling, which is apparently somewhat rare. I do something that not a lot of people could do and if I had to, I'd find something else, but really, this is what I was made to do.
4. Yeah, I feel like a grownup. I pay bills and have to go to work 5 days a week and worry about the economy and shit. I definitely feel like a grownup.

don't know his condition?? what are the symptoms?

hope some job prospects open up. what are some things you are looking for?

1. my parents seem to have a few secrets, not all that well hidden. though i am pretty sure if i was switched at birth with someone else's kid, my parents might have been clueless.

2. i've heard most antacids aren't so good for you. and it might be good to question what made the stomach hurt in the first place. is it from hunger? overeating? eating things that are too strong? is it an allergy or intolerance? or is it stress? eating too late at night?

3. what i am doing now is to help pay bills and do something a bit different, i could never survive on my own doing this job, it is completely supplemental. this is not my "home" for where i want to be, just a place in between places. but when i do get to where i want to be, who knows what i'll be doing.... i really want my life to be more about who i am than what i do.

4. "grown up" is relative. i have to deal with a lot of grown up things which kind of annoys me. i'm 36, i look at my feet and hands and think "whoa, i'm not 12 anymore!" and that can be shocking. at the same time, i could be dealing with a lot worse. part of me never wants to grow up, and i just think that's a healthy spirit which wants to keep some fun alive.

- Hmmmm, not sure
-I don't know-baking soda? water? the phone to call posion control?
-Doing something for right now.
-I'll feel grown up when I get my own apartment and reach the next step in my career.

hello...

Wow. Glad you're back. People should not be kickboxing that time of day unless they're either coming out of a drunk, or just fighting because of one . Seriously. Sorry to hear about your man. What symptoms are we talking? I can't believe our government would screw someone over . Bastards. Yay for your son's b-day, sorry I couldn't have been a bigger help. Or any help at all. Stuff piling up? I hear you, but we only had last weekend. A whole month? Good God. I hope there was laundry going and dishes soaking and clothes folding themselves while you were typing...

1) I wouldn't ant to know their secrets. I already know they're human and imperfect. I can leave it at that. Cuz they're still my parents. Unless the secret is like, they're millionaires. Then I'd be pissed I'm working at my job I have to work at (answer to #3) instead of doing what I want. Then again, in this scenario, I'd have to act not mad so's I can get some $$$...

2)Prilosec?

3) see #1

4) I feel dreams dying and seem a little less energetic and hopeful each day. I have no problem keeping my mouth shut and taking orders. I feel sorry for people with hope, and constantly wait for the other shoe to drop. So yes, I feel very much like a grown up.

I hope another job prospect comes up...

Dark secret: already found out that my father is not my biological one, he does not know I know

Acid: well the finger is a good option, since everything else might be out of reach, or take too long?

Living: a little bit of both

Grown up: NEVER!!!!

I'm really sorry to read about what your family is dealing with. I really haven't an inkling of anything useful to say.

1. I don't know of any really dark secrets in my family. I guess if thery're there they've been successfully kept.

2. I just reach for calcium antacids. There was a time i was living on them, but nowadays I have more stress than anxiety, if that is not an illogical thing to say.

3. Hell no. I cannot honestly say that I treat future self very respectfully with regard to how much effort I put into furthering my career prospects beyond truck driving. I like to take photographs but printing them and somehow selling them is very daunting to me.

4. I have never felt like a grownup. All around me people seem to be in on this secret about how to be committed to jobs and raising kids and paying mortgages and so forth. Actually I've watched people change into people very different from the ones I knew years ago. Often I greatly dislike what I see happening to people but I guess they are just finding the destinies they understand how to find. But there are other people I know, who are more like me, who don't get assimilated into this process, and watch it happening to others with a mixture of envy, curiosity, and distaste. I have grey hair in my beard and my eyes are starting to not want to focus up close, but mentally I'm probably something like 25 still. I guess there are various pluses and minuses to being of a young mental age.
