heartstring    noun | HAHRT-string

Definition

: the deepest emotions or affections — usually used in plural

 

Before a song or movie or heart-shaped card accompanied by a box of chocolates could tug at your heartstrings, the job was more likely to be accomplished by a surgeon: the word heartstring used to refer to a nerve believed to sustain the heart. You might recognize the word's second syllable in the term hamstring, which refers to both a group of tendons at the back of the knee and to any of three muscles at the backs of the upper legs. It's also apparent in a rare dialect term for the Achilles' tendon: heel string. And in light of these terms, it's not surprising to know that string itself was at one time used independently to refer to cords like tendons and ligaments.

 

 

Yes, it's that day again ... for those that celebrate it or enjoy it, have a nice one.

Morning, DiC! Just another Thursday for me, as I've personally never been much of a Valentine's Day fan, but for those of you who are, I hope you have an excellent day full of love and affection. Happy Valentine's Day to you!    

[Mikiesboy]

First time in a couple of weeks there are no weather warnings. Maybe later as we are expecting more freezing rain overnight into Friday.  i am anxious today, but screw it. i will get through this day. i actually wrote a few words this morning. i said to AC yesterday, "it's not easy being nuts" and it isn't. Stupid things can set you off...make you chew on them and fret, when in the real world they mean nothing, or can be easily fixed. I'll talk with my shrink tomorrow. He came to the hospital the other night and said. "When i said i was bored with you, tim, it wasn't a challenge!"  He and my Husband are both funny guys. But then he said, "Friday. We'll start again. It'll be okay."  I need to face the facts i will likely never be 'normal' again. i will likely always need a pill on top of my HIV meds to live an easier life. I will likely always need to see my shrink as well. 

 

Michael said, that's not failing, it's just working inside the framework you have. It's better to take a damn pill, then what we've been through tonight boy.

 

It wasn't pretty. It was nearly violent from what He's told me. And He's a big, strong man and He had to wrestle me into the jeep. i guess i didn't go quietly.

Anyway... i'm going to go to work. i will have a good day even if it is shit because, it is a day...and i am here still.

Talked to my shrink about this Monday. My diagnosis is chronic. You don't just get over it. You can try to live as normal a life as you can manage, but even with the meds it's gonna be more of a challenge than it is for other people. Something we have to accept and try to live with, and make the best of it that we can. And for what it's worth, I'm really glad you're here, tim. Hang in there, and have a good day.

Good morning, everyone. I’m grateful for all of you today.

A good one.  I think it is one used a lot by the last generation - that would be two back for most of you.  My mother overworked it.

The lab is cacophonous today, and this conversation is pulling at my heartstrings.

tim, the sun is shining brightly and if I had my way, it would seep into your bones and never leave. 

 

Having said that, if you need to take a pill and see a shrink to help you sort things out, then so be it. That’s just the way it is. It doesn’t make you any less wonderful or strong than you already are. In fact, it makes you stronger because you’re brave enough to admit you don’t have all the answers. 

 

 you lots, my friend. 

[Reader1810]

Good afternoon everyone. I hope it’s a good one for all of you...  

[Parker Owens]

Hello again. Hope you are all having a good afternoon. The sun came out here for almost seventy minutes...

We had some sun today, too. Now it's dark, though. Nearly half past 7.

[Backwoods Boy]

So, having dug the truck out of two feet of snow yesterday and getting it to the street, I decided to go to Portland today for groceries, etc.  All was well going in, but on the way back I got into non-forecast blizzard conditions.  Went the last twenty miles at 30MPH in 4WD behind a truck.  Had to dig out even more to get back into the driveway.  This is effing nuts.

That sounds pretty bad. Glad you made it home safe.

I’m sorry you’re undergoing a siege similar to ours, only worse. Hope you’re warm and safe now.

Thanks.  I am indeed warm and safe, and much happier after a bowl of chicken soup accompanied by a glass of red wine
