Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh, damn, Maria. I am so very sorry. As everyone said earlier and better, you aren't taking over with your drama. At all. Vent, rant, dump away. It's all good.
Also, I don't think it's childish to want to wish it all away. I think that's a natural response.
I can tell you, from experience, that this is one place - maybe *the* one place - where you can say what you need to and let go of being the strong one, even if it's just for a minute. So rage if you need to, weep if you need to. You won't hurt us.
This. So much this. I can't even tell you how much. We're here.
I am so sorry Maria. Please continue posting your thoughts and don't worry about bothering us. This is a great place to feel support.
I'm so sorry, Maria. What everyone else said about using your support systems, like this place. Anything I can do, of course.
Timelies all!
I'm so sorry, Maria. {{{hugs}}}
Maria, I'm so sorry.
ION, this might be fun for people who are fans of Disney theme parks: Abandoned Disney, Part 1
Abandoned Discovery Island, 1974-1999
Located in the middle of Bay Lake, this island is off-limits to park visitors today (it was closed back in 1999, with the introduction of Animal Kingdom). This place has rich and varied history (it remained open for 25 years, and before that was used mostly for farming as far back as the early 1900s), features a rich botanical environment, a huge amount of birds and many animal exhibits. One of the island owners even lived on it with his pet crane (pet crane?... I gotta get one of these!).
Late start this am. This is what happens when all my neighbors are out of town!
But back from market, gonna go see if I am in time to catch the toilet bowl race.
No, really.
