It can be really overwhelming to think about telling ones story again to a new person. It’s helped me to realize that I get to tell whatever I want to, if I’ve healed from some things that used to be the primary topic.

Please give the new therapist a try.  I know it’s hard to start over--and yes, you will always have depression, even if it’s managed.  But managing it is important, and I’m concerned about you.  

So, I met my new therapist. I had to stop seeing my old one because her group got bought out and the new management is no longer accepting Medicare clients. I asked my doctor for a referral and she was able to find me someone.  She seemes nice enough. I dunno that I want to start all over, though. It’s like I’ve been…

Massive migraine. Not posting tonight. Will post sometime tomorrow.

In the articles I read, his family said he really came alive when he performed and his mind went into “professional” mode. In the few times I’ve seen him since his diagnosis, he was a delight and still commands a stage. He genuinely loves performing.

He’s the last of his kind — the final crooner from the crooner age.

Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton might be collaborating on a Netflix doc together

I’m going to click thru to the TMZ thing, but that’s amazing that Tony Bennett was able to do 2 shows with Alzheimer’s!

This doesn't come across the way you think it does...

Yo, no one cares about your incredibly insulting and bullshit ego-extravaganza take either...

No one currrrr about your boner.

I absolutely agree that it’s essential to consider the pet’s quality of life. My husband and I have put massive amounts of work and money into care for our cat—and the previous cat was a kidney cat who required subcutaneous injections three times a week (administered by me). We do it for us, but also for the cat—my…

I absolutely was this person too; I funded two surgeries at 8k each for my rescue dog (I’m child-free so I don’t feel bad dropping that type of cash because this is my companion and pet insurance covered about 1/3 of it), treated her Cushing’s Disease, her allergies, and whatever else she needed.

Articles like these always make me feel like a monster. My cats generally are put down (lovingly and spoiled beforehand) when they are very sick or injured because I feel more guilty that they don’t understand the pain and fear of ongoing treatment. I can’t explain kidney dialysis to my cat. I had a friend giving her…

Maybe read beyond the headline.

My Stella Mayo has a $3000 leg. Just so she can chase balls again - balls are her true passion. The sign on my gate says “Dog Ain’t Nice.” She ain’t! At least not to strangers. I’ve buried four dogs and four cats. Fostered others. I loved all of them, still miss them, and knew that the best way to honor their memories…

This is a true love story. Compassion, servitude, and resignation wrapped up together beautifully.

The biological mom openly admitted that the girlfriend takes care of the kids for weeks at a time. One of the barest necessities is having a roof over your head, so it follows that if the girlfriend is going to keep watching these kids, she needs a place to stay. I find it odd that you’re more questioning of the…

Hmm. So the girlfriend of the father spends enough time with the kids, that they call her mom/mother, and their biological mother seems okay enough with the arrangement that she will drop them off at the girlfriend’s house for a week (or weeks) at a time?

I really don’t see a problem with her calling them her…

An unattended swimming pool and twice the recommended dose of edibles sounds like a bad idea to me, but you do you.

I regularly use pot for medicinal purposes, as with C-PTSD, Generalized and social anxiety disorder pretty much make me non-functional in my day to day life. I tend to stick with edibles and tinctures as I can’t handle the coughing that comes with vaping or smoking, and, holy crap. In my experience edibles tend to be…
