It's · my · life!

So dont leave anything out that is relevant or could harm another if they were to find out on their own, or better yet...think before you act on the consequences of your actions...
You can tell alot about someone by the people they associate themselves with...and how they treat others...Pay attention to that...

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas.  Things her are the same.  I haven't been on the computer in a while to check up on everyone and see what is going on here.  I hope everyone has been fine.  I watched Inside The Actors Studio tonight with Elton John and found some interesting questions...I would love to hear how everyone else would answer them.  I wish everyone a great New Year.

Love and Stuff, Karen

HOW TO STAY YOUNG
1. Try everything twice. On Madams tombstone (of Whelan's and Madam) she said she wanted this epitaph: Tried everything twice...loved it both times!

2. Keep only cheerful friends.
The grouches pull you down. (keep  this In mind if you are one of those grouches;)

3. Keep learning:
Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening,
whatever. Never let the brain get idle.
"An idle mind is the devil's workshop."
And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and  Lots of time with HIM/HER.

6. The tears happen:
Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves.  LIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love:
Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.
Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health:
If it is good, preserve it.
If it is unstable, improve it.
If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips.
Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county,  to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

Run your fingers through my soul. For once, just once, feel exactly what I feel, believe what I believe, perceive as I perceive, look, experience, examine, and for once; just once, understand.

You have no idea...no idea what life has made me, why I feel the way I do.  So continue to look at me through your rose colored glasses.  But you will never understand why life has made me the person I am, for experiences have made me cold and harsh.  Be open to my thoughts and expressions, they may not be the same as yours, that doesn't make them wrong.  Just be open and understand me.

Rev. Franklin Graham has publicly stated that Hurricane Katrina intentionally hit "SIN CITY" to clean it up!  Because New Orleans was morally corrupt, it's citizens practiced Voodoo and it condoned sinful behaviour.  He stereotypically condemned an area of the country because of his holier than thou attitude he obviously believes that God is a cruel and vengeful God and would intentionally make innocent children and elderly people suffer just to make a statement considering that there is no type of immoral behaviour in any other city in the United States!

Let's see what Tropical Storm Tammy has in store for the East Coast...maybe there are some sinners in that part of the country!  Maybe it could work it's way up to the D.C. area!

It really doesn't matter who you are or what your age is, it doesn't take much to aggravate anyone "these days".  We all try to be open minded and no be prejudice, but we wear our hearts on our sleeves and it doesn't take much to set off the powder keg of emotions.  If it were only as easy for us to forgive each other as it were for us to jump to conclusions.  But we all have a Rolodex in our brains to store all of the bad shit that everyone does to us and we never forget it.  Ten years down the road, we will run into that one person that pissed us off and we will remember...and we'll remember...."REMEMBER FUCKER!"  No matter how trivial it is.  We will forget our best friends birthdays, our parents birthdays, the person's name that drove us home when we were to wasted to drive and held our heads out of the toilet...yes that has happened to me before!  We remember the bad shit, the people that piss us off, but the ones that really touch our lives and help shape then and could actually mean something pass like ships in the night.  They will be like a blur.

I want SO MUCH to remember things...that no one else would appreciate, at least until they get older...much older.  I want to remember the sound of my mothers voice, her laughter and her tears.  How she used to tell me EVERYDAY when I would ask her how she was feeling..."WITH MY FINGERS"!!  Even when she was so very sick, she could make me laugh.  I was so lucky to have her here with me every single day, even though she felt she was a burden to us all.  She was always more worried about Nathan, Ashli and Haylo than she was herself.  I want so much for us all to sit in her room again and listen to her tell us stories of her growing up, even though they usually ended up with her in tears because she missed her kids and just wanted them to drive the three miles across town to visit or pick up the phone and call her, but they were always too busy for her, even before she died.  And I will never forgive them for getting pissed at me for them "not knowing" she was THAT BAD!!  She was only sick for three years!  It wasn't a sudden thing! 

Life is short...looking at Hayleigh finally give in to her pain medication...she looks so peaceful.  For the first time tonight she isn't moving or crying or complaining about how bad she hurts.  Pain is pain...why can't someone treat her pain!  Her back is popping again and it scares her and me, too.  The X-ray didn't show any screws loose in her back...but it has to be a terrifying feeling.  She has heard too many horror stories about rods breaking and screws coming loose.  The tingling is worse and the numbness has been horrible tonight.  She said again today that her body hates her.  I just want to cry all of the time.  All of the walls here are closing in on me.  The financial bullshit is driving me crazy.  Nathan *hopefully* goes to orientation next Tuesday at The Shoe, that will help some.  I know Tony wants me to go back to work, but I can't just leave Hayleigh alone.  He's not around her enough to know how bad her pain really is, that's why he took her surgery as bad as he did.  I seriously thought he was going to have a nervous breakdown the first few days while she was in ICU.  All of the IV's and her crying and the pain...he cried...he couldn't understand. 

I know I'm perceived as a Bitch, I accept that.  I'm only a bitch when I get angry, usually I feel like a door mat!  Especially when I'm trapped inside these walls.  I feel used and neglected and want to scream!  That won't solve anything...just keep me from exploding!  I need an outlet!  If you can't understand me, join the club...half the time I don't know me myself.  I look in the mirror and just see a stranger.  I just feel cold and numb inside!

AIN'T LIFE GRAND!

FIRST...Carl "accidentally" collides with Brett during a show and he has to have surgery because he "broke his nose and had to practically learn how to sing all over again.

NOW...the band is officially breaking up!

WTF!  You really don't know how bad this pisses me off!
