Frankie, you know, the weirdest thing was I was scared our dog which is half Basenji/half German Shepeard wouldn't like it at all because the shelter flat out said "Not good w/cats! But my husband persisted it, and the two get along great!! Who would've thought?? Their just happy little campers!!Quote:

She also really needed to wheelchair too. She is still detoxing, overly talkative, repetative, but we knew what to expect...It was fun.
Then we left there and lion cub opened up my glovbox to look for a lighter for their smokes, well, she find a giant blunt!!
Yes, in a Swisher package...and I had been smelling something in there since I traded cars with my youngest because of a mechanical issue. Yes, weed, in a cigar leaf...
Anyway, the girls picked out a few hundred dollars worth of stuff, that ended up costing me $96.00 so I'm good with that! It was worth the trip..
Plus we were all just acting goofy the whole time anyway,..we used to do that together everywhere..just being clowns is fun and helps with ALL of our anxiety.
That was the first time that I had seen my daughter together in a car with me since Feb of 2012....priceless. and they were f**kin with each other the whole time too.
I don't expect anything less..LOL!
Have a great day all!
E-Man..:)
That's amazing E man what a lovely day out for you all :)Quote:

Enduronman - I was talking to Terre Nova about the pronunciation of your name.
Is it:
End oor on man
-Or-
End your on man
LMAO!!
Its'....Endure On Man.....YAY!!! ........:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Oh right, thanx for clearing that up :rolleyes::rolleyes:
It was also the name of my businesses...because I have Endured some reallllllyyyy tough shit over the past nearly 5 decades....close anyway. I'm fuggin old!!! wa....
Glad to hear you had a great time with your daughters! Life is too short for anything less. You have found the magic when you have found how to have such good times in the midst of your problems; how to have problems without letting them negatively impact your relationships.
Endure on, man!
Thank You brother Lee!!! Good to see you back around the forums!!...
Hope that life is treating you well bruh...
:)
Thanks bro! Busy week last week getting the kids back to college and high school and me back to work after a three and a half week vacation. I also have been working hard on the book. I also have to pay occasional heed to my own raft of problems to make sure I don't capsize and continue to make headway down the river. I have also started handing out my gifts to folks who have donated to my fund raising cause that is paying for the professional design and editing of the second edition of the book once the first edition is completed and posted on my blog. All in all, I am busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest. :D
welll...
I haven't been Mr. Excitement and bundles of joy today becauseeeeee my daughter tells me that she can't do her schoolwork on her new tablet (7"). Because it is lacking some particular something that the website requires to function properly...f**k.....and that was the point of the Xmas gift. Something compact, touch, to do this work.
SOOOOOO...I took all 4 of these other sloowwwwww laptops in to see what they are worth, or if they can have some added ram or something else to speed them up? Nope..the computer guru guy said that they're not worth putting any money into even though 3 of them work, you just have time to make a pot of coffee before a page loads. They're all 3 Dell, and 1 Toshiba. I lovveeedddd that Toshiba, until the hard drive crashed. So,...now I have to get another new laptop or she won't be able to do a damn thing. And, her ADD prevents her from sitting here to do it...grrrr....It's only money. Just kindof a bummer.
Ok, something good. Um, I guess I feel ok so that's good just not a bundle of baha or rolleyes at the moment. Weird feeling for me, because my original plan was a failure. I hate failure...
Have a great night all.
E-man.
E-man ur inbox is full, bruh. Sorrry to hijack
Nooo... You've caught the 'bruh' off of Eman?Quote:

It's worse than buying a friggin car!
It did however, cuase me to dig out all of my old stereo equipment that's some higher end stuff to go make a deal with a pawn shop or something.
They have a computer that would suit her just fine, and it would help her to get some of this educational crap out of the way. She only needs 10 credits to graduate.
I just have to get her set up to make this happen now...It really just pisses me off that I have 3 working laptops, that none will do what she needs (the site doesn't work)
Outdated, old, but doesnt have any problems with this, or Facebook, or whatever else...grrrrrr... I'm still in grrrr mode, until I accomplish this task.
It's just how I "am"....a challenge that must be focused on, to make it all come together...simple, one would think, in the Grand Scheme of things..LOL!!! :)
Thanks for thinking of me Frankie!
I did just learn that the new Windows 8 sucks ass, from a highly trained geek....Said I should try to find one that still has Windows 7 on it!!!...BUT, all the new ones have 8!!!!! OMGEEE....yay
Pawn shop, here I come! LMAO!
I hate windows 8...
I actually bought an ipad, just to avoid it :eek:
I feel I'm selling my soul turning to Apple, but I don't don't enjoy using it one bit.
Windows 8 is horrible.
I'm always on the iPad as well
Doesn't have enough of the full version on it
How come you post again properly ever since Tummy left for California?Quote:

Thank you Stacy!
Well,..considering that I will have to make her feel "accomodated" somewhat because she has ADD/ADHD, PTSD, and intense anxiety I'm going to have to make the screen as large as possible plus she has bad vision too. I will have to either go 14" or larger and I'm really considering a desktop and a complete office like space upstairs for her to study in. She only needs 10 measly credits, then she gets a newer car. It still isn't enough incentive for her, but the mini office may just be the ticket...I hope!! :)
She went to California?Quote:

Obviously, my daughter needed for something to happen that was positive for her, she was using these computer issues as a means to ignore schooling.
She wasn't in a rush to get back to school after the holidays and as of this day, still hasn't..but, she has NO fuggin excuse now!!
Got her a computer desk, chair, painted to her liking of course, annnddddd someone brought me over a computer that just needed hacked, and some updates done.
Well, I'm in and it's clean and it's updating now...
A 15" Compaq laptop, about 3 years old...good to go for a few more years and only minimal investment in it too....
This is a good thing, makes me feel like I actually accomplished something, and now maybe she will too.
Hope everyone else is doing well!
Going to get back to my forum friends here reallllll soooonnnn....
Enduronman...:)
Don't you miss the days of just needing a few binders and paper to complete your work?
My kids look like they are going on a 2 week vacation when they leave everyday with their backpacks
Something good I hope...(weird is what it is)..odd, rare..
1. First off, have we lost Jesse to alcohol?...CMON MAN!!! Haven't seen him all day.. Anyone?
2. Hopefully he didn't OD on that box I sent him..
3. Haven't seen some of our other Veteran members either today...What's your take on this, and who comes to mind????
4. I do want to see people recover, get better, succeed,...but it will (generally) take continued support and therapy to do that. It may just "pop up" but it rarely ever just "pops out"....
5. Let's see...got my daughters issue dealt with nicely...(youngest)
6. Taking my oldest to the doctor on Monday, 10am...(was an addict until 16 days ago)..hard core stuff.
7. My tv quit working last week in the living room. (like I care)..but I needed to find a replacement anyway. I was upstairs yesterday and opened the door to a spare room we never use. There was a giant TV sitting in the hallway? WTF? I asked lil C who's it was? IDK...Oh well, it works. Just weird....
8. Went to Goodwill yesterday just to have something to do. They had all kinds of cool (high end) sound equip in there for like $15!...I like loud music. I bought it..Oh, and in case you're in America and need a TV or whatever,, they have them there for $10 to $15 too....weird. and working, with remotes....
9. The new meds are helping me to walk easier, so that's good. weird....could hardly walk for 20 months, here try this, ok,..I can walk better....unreal.
10. Hope everyone out there in the Anxiety Forums has a great weekend and finds something good to share too!...It may be right in front of your face too!...YAY!!!!
E-Man...:)
Sounds like you're doing pretty great E-Man!!Quote:

Thank you Terre and Jazz!
Doing ok..just reading up about RLS that my oldest daughter has had since about age 15 er so..Want to be prepared for what the Doc may say on Monday. It is nearly disabling her..
Yes Jazz, exactly. (1) issue at a time, full steam ahead until it's either corrected or at least much more tolerable and understandable by all parties involved. I don't know any other way to deal with them, and I don't let them become a huge pile (which is at least partly why my anxiety is like a .5 on a 1 to 10 scale.....:)
Have a great night friends.
E..:D
Hey Frankie!
Just trying to understand this (restless leg syndrome) my oldest has and what the medications are and costs...About $11 a month, if they work!...I am taking her to see my Doc on Monday. Her first visit, but my Doc already knows alllllll aboutttt her...eessshhhh..
Good day overall and learning more about something else too. I love to learn about new things!
How is your new computer working???....:)
scratch that!
Youngest daughter just called (17, completely a fuggin teen girl) and was yelling for me to come get her...she spun her car around and parked it in a ditch. It was buried..it looked as if it must have been a quit memorable experience. By my observations and brief investigation. LMAO!!
Proabably, the only car, on that entire roadway, in the ditch...
Oh no Dad I was paying attention, wasn't using my phone, just driving along on the blacktop paths created by the billion other cars that wore them and the sand, salt, and giant plow trucks that moved the snow....it just suddenly spun around.
BULLSHIT!!!....BAHAAAHAAAHA!!!
and then,...she wanted to take my other car? NO!!! F**K YOU!!!!....hehheeheheehe!!!...
Well, looks like she's just stuck at home for the night..wah.
I will have a tow truck pull it out tomorrow,...and she'll do it all over again I'm sure.
It was great while it lasted!!!...
Endure On Man....LOL! :)
I have RLS. Or perhaps persisting Akithisia. I'm not sure... they are very similar.Quote:

I will mention this to her. She's had it for well over 5 yrs now. The research says that it can be genetic (mother had it mildly)..CC's is like, all the time.. The net says that she needs a (dopamine agonists) and oddly enough I take one that is a partial dopamine agonists with my anti-holy-shit-I'm-going-to-tear-something-up pill, Abilify. Interesting...(sigh)...Quote:

I hope you get the computer issues worked out Frankie,...and that you and everyone else here has a good or at least betterr day friends...
E-Man...:)
Hmm strange. Most Antipsychotics reduce Dopamine. I never realised there was one that worked differently! Intriguing.Quote:

Yes, its the ONLY AP that ever worked for me...it has been a blessing in disguise. The partial DA seems to be a perfect match (so far) and I stay happy most days even though things are exploding all around me at times. And the drama involved in having these 2 daughters, with their drama friends too...eessshhhhh
It is realllyyyyy bad. She moves her legs all the time, complains about them, and says that its worse when she tries to lay down too. APPARENTLY klonopin can make it worse over time too. She took up to 6mg a day for her anxiety, she won't be taking anymore of that...
She goes to the Doc tomorrow am so we'll see what Doc H has to say or add...
Gotta try to wake up now,..I have a car in a ditch. If it wasn't snowing, wouldn't be a big deal and I could pull it out..It'll have to be winched out now. Awesome!! yay :rolleyes:
This is what I take....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aripiprazole
It, in combination with xanax and atenolol, has stopped my anxiety completely...:)
E-Man I did see I-65 in Indiana is a mess. Hope things are not piling up too much for you dude.
You've got your hands full this morning for sure. My best to you! Peace
Thanks Gene!!
I at least had the tow truck guy laughing when I told him it may have a flat tire, but I have 2 or 3 of them in the trunk...he asked why so many?...Because it's kindof like my daughters own Demolition Derby Car!! She runs over things, hits things, and spins around into ditches!! ....
He's meeting us over there at 10am.
I highly doubt that she has a flat tire..I think it was just the snow from her burning rubber trying to get out before she had to call me...
It wouldnt have mattered how much rubber she burnt, it wasn't coming out of this ditch!!!...LMAO!!
E-Man....YAY!!! :)
Sorry to hear about the crappy weather out your way.....we dont have snow here but it is just freezing....it makes you just want to hibernate. I need spring right now!
