Here - now in PB social & regular PB.
Not sure what happened to your reply either, but rest assured, I did see it & read it.
Crap, that you're feeling so bad! Screw Mother's Day! People can't believe that I don't care a bit about it. I love my sons & they love me. I don't want anything special being done on just one particular day that big money-making businesses tell us to. Where I work, the cut flowers & rose bouquets go up in price (like most places) & they shove the idea of spending more money (read - "make them richer") down our throats. I refuse to toe the line. It only means hypocrisy to me. I'd rather have assurances of my sons' love throughout the year, verbal & hugs anyway.
OOOH! Do I ever hate crass commercialism & consumerism! I mean, how many pairs of shoes, or earrings, or bracelets, ad nauseum, can we wear at one time? How much is necessary & how much is overkill? I almost froth at the mouth at holiday times (spend, spend, SPEND).
Excuse my rant. Any idea why you've crashed? Anything you can figure out? Yeah, forget the garden - but maybe at least go sit in the sunshine. (I can't garden right now either, but I pulled my rib muscles.) Is there any thing right nbow that you can do? - maybe do call a crisis centre, any one else? Why are you where you are all alone? I'm worried for you. Post back & let me know. Dr. Bob won't redirect this to PB Social till later, so I know you'll see this here now.
My son's home all day on weekends & he tends to take over the computer then. I get it early morning & late evening. E-mail me if you'd like - isomorphix@hotmail.com
