Why wear a ribbon?

"I HAVE FIBROMYALGIA AND I WANT TO SUPPORT OTHERS WHO HAVE IT AS WELL." (runningwolf1)

MDJunction to me

"In the 3 months I have been with MDJunction I have developed a sense of calmness. I now friends who do not judge me because I have been a mental mess at times. It is such a good feeling to have friends I can tell my deepest thoughts and always get back to me with their support. I have never seen a therapist for long periods of time. Right or wrong, this is the best therapy possible for me. Thanks Roy for getting this up and running and making such a difference in my life. Sara" (saralaurie)

Well, here it's my birthday and my daughter don't even care about me. In my family, we let the birthday person decide where to go eat for supper and she came to me and said do you want Arby's (I'm hungry for Arby's Roast Beef), without any consideration that I was the one that was suppose to choose. She even gave her dad a birthday present on his birthday but for the past three years I haven't received anything from her. That has made me so upset that I can't stop crying.

At the risk of sounding bad sometimes husbands just don't get it. When I was growing up birthdays were very special days, so much so that after my parents died when I was I teen i stopped celebrating them. I finally decided when I turned 40 to start to celebrate again( i know I'm a little backwards most people stop at 40). Anyway what i'm trying to say is tradions we have celebrated through the years become very important and it hurts when someone goes totally agaisnt it. So I understand how you feel. I hope you can dry your tears and at least have a good rest of your evening

Happy Birthday Trishs and Suzee. Birthdays are really big deals in my family because of me. I love birthdays. This is what I have been doing. It was a couple of weeks before Valentines Day and I saw something I really liked. I told the lady at the store. In a few minutes a very tall man who looks like he would rather be anywhere but here, and has no idea what he is doing is going to come in here and ask you about a bunny. This is the one I want. Would you please have it wrapped for me for Valentine's Day and suggest he get a nice card. This way I get what I want and he thinks he picked it out. Everyone is happy.

Love to all,

Sandi

Happy Birthday Trish! My boys, 10 and 12, aren't old enough to drive to go out and get me anything for my birthday, and my father usually forgets about it, and I am divorced...so....I usually treat myself to something special for my birthday, usually a massage, a piece of jewelry or something impractical JUST FOR ME! This way I get what I want and there are no resentments against the males in my life. My boys are certainly willing to help me eat a birthday cake we all pick out together and I let them eat most of it because I am FAT. I keep all of our birthday celebrations as simple as possible so we don't overspend and I don't tire myself out. I try to remember on my birthday (which is next month) how lucky I am to have made it another year.
