So, I have debated bringing this up, but it has been extremely heavy on my heart. My BFF’s SIL hung herself yesterday. BFF’s brother found her in the garage. He cut her down and did CPR, but she was cold and swollen already. I struggle because I know how she felt and how her feelings were so real and justified in her mind. I think about her poor husband and children (all in early 20’s) she left behind. I think about her husband having to clean out her closet, her drawers, etc. They had the kids raised and the next step was enjoying the rest of their lives together. It really makes me sad.
Mental illness, depression, etc have such a stigma attached to them. I do hope our society changes the way we view it.

Hi guys,

It's me, Cindi. Smuvs is kicking my ass to get on here and post (thanks BUD!), cuz she said you guys have been asking about me. (awww!) So here I am. A little bit.

I've been taking my mom's death pretty hard, so I've been quiet. Been spending a lot of time alone, with my dogs and chickens, and not really talking to anybody much. Including my husband, except when he pisses me off, lol. I have depression and that is how I deal. I like to be by myself, so it's cool.

I've been on bereavement and took a few extra days off before I have to go back to work (for the 6 weeks I have left there). I gotta get my ass back in gear. I did send out a couple of resumes.

Love you guys, and thanks for caring! And hugs to anyone else out in Squatchland who is havving a tough time~

OK so let's go with best vacation EVER!

Can be one you actually took or a dream trip!

Mine?

I went to Tillamook Oregon when I was 18. It was AWESOME!
Cold here when we left. Green and blooming when we got there.
Two weeks of sight seeing! Went to the cheese factory cause CHEESE. I fell in love with the area. It rained twice and only for a few minutes each time. Went clam digging. Those buggers are hard to dig out! Ate the best seafood I have ever had!

I would do that trip again.

I went on a 7 day cruise to the Bahamas. The ocean was so clear and crystal blue. The islands were awesome and all the drinks and food anyone could ask for. We watched dolphins swimming and a whale blowing water it was amazing

250+ messages... Lost a couple hours of my life catching up. Not going to share a pic. I don't want someone to see it and fall in love w/ me, then I have to start shaving my legs again.


What is LF?


So sad. Is that contagious?


I didn't know it came powdered.


Oh no! Are you going to get necropsy to find out why?


Did you respond 'so do husbands?'


I babysat my cousins and had my very first nervous breakdown at 12 years old. My cousins were HORRIBLE. Fortunately they grew up and are less evil. Then I worked at Giant Eagle for about a year. I went to a vocational school for electronics and got an early placement job my sr year. I've been working as an IT person for a public library system for almost 19 years now. Over worked and underpaid as often happens when you work for a non profit. I went to school for electronic engineering, but dropped out a semester short when my giant human was born.. 15 years later it's doubtful I'll ever go back b/c I barely remember any of it. Also I plan on retiring from my job at 57 with a full pension as long as libraries still exist in 20 years.


I actually LOL'd at that.


Ugh... I've been told I smelled like a chicken coop. [oops]


That's so sad to hear.


Take all the time you need. We all understand. We're here when you're ready to jump back in. Stalk & visit as much as you want until you're ready to comeback.

LF is large fowl, not to be confused with bantams.
My chicken died last night. I have no idea where to send it and even if i knew it will be nasty by Monday.
Yes, depression is real. I have been fighting it 35 years or so.
