Aww, you're in a very difficult place to be. I had an experience similar with my Step-father's father. He had cancer and alzheimer's disease. He refused to go to a nursing home though. Seeing a person's mind slowly die is probably one of the most difficult things I've seen someone go through. He knew that his mind was slipping away and that it was out of his control. Seeing a person in that state is something I don't want to see again at all. So I can only sympathise with you and feel for your mother's condition. So stay strong dear. Krista

When are people starting to use abrasive tones to be helpful? I don't see the connection - if you want to promote an open site where people who don't know answers can come and ask the questions then I would think you'd want to answer the questions in a way that seems open minded. Not seeming above the question or seeming more intelligent than the person doing the asking. Now, there is no reason for a person to be scornful when they answer a plea or a rant for help. A lot of people don't want to be put down when they ask a legitimate question. His question wasn't stupid. He wasn't out of line in any way. He's probably just as dedicated to his story and its safety as you are of your own stories and projects. So there's no reason for a person to put another down for asking a question. So I'm sorry - I just don't get the reasoning behind it. Krista

Yeah, I agree, some of the replies to his question did sound to me, a bit scornful in tone. I certainly raised an eyebrow a few times. I know I would have asked the same question he did and he shouldn't feel ashamed for asking a question like that. If you don't know the answer or a way to get the help or desired action taken the next best thing to do is ask and hopefully someone knows. Krista

Lol.. hmm, I over-looked that bit of information... Krista

lmao... Krista

I honestly think that people get what they deserve. Falwell's verbal gay bashing and the like warrants such behavior. I don't think its low or cold in heart to act the way that "this person" has. I think its a natural reaction and an honest one. People are free to have opinions of other people in life and in death. So what if its perceived as low. If Falwell can say people with aids deserved it or gay friendly ministries will be anhialated and sent to hell along with all of what they accepted. I think that deserves a comment just a cold - you get treated according to your own actions or speech. Its not exactly what he wants - he doesn't want anything he's dead. There's nothing left of him other than his extreme views guided by a clouded way to be what is called Christian. Also, his family has been hearing it ever since he became part of the public. They have fallen under that kind of scrutiny - maybe you should care about what they've went through while he was alive. It can't be any worse than after his death. The liklihood of Falwell's family reading a GA blog is also slim so I think you're blowing the comments made way out of proportion. Krista

Lol... That's like.. disturbing but I laughed anyway... Krista

Well I see a future wife in me. Which is actually a first, I definitely didn't feel that way when I was engaged to David not so long ago. I think it was because I knew deep down that it wasn't the best for me. This time though, I do feel like I'm wife material. It's a huge step for change and I'm having mixed feelings about it. I'm scared that I'll completely fail at being a wife or a mother. I still feel the need to be successful, but I feel like I'm already stepping out from behind my mother's shadow and becomming someone people actually respect. I'll also be finishing school and will have a degree before my wedding in June so I'll officially be an adult. Krista

Very insightful and makes other people think about what they're doing or how they're valuing their life or time. Krista

Aww, you're not a failure until you stop trying things. It's also ok to take breaks. Krista

Aww! I want to be a mother. What a good and sincere reflection on the Holiday. Krista

... lol.. now you've got a grand sense of humor. Actually, seeing a bad "role-model" of many young girls going to jail is actually a great thing. Letting everyone who desires to be like her take note that her actions do actually have negative consequences. Krista

Delegating. I've been known to make bad decisions. (I haven't made one recently though)... lol. To finish off the 7 deadly sins: Wrath, Envy, or Pride (Vanity) Krista

Hmm, lol, I don't think I do. The person below me will be changing all of their summer plans. Krista

Well one, 500,000 dollars would pay for a lot of peoples' "psychological problems" so that much money is a joke. Suing over something like this is rediculous to begin with. The only thing that should happen over showing an inapropriate movie of any kind would be the termination of the teacher. The school board had nothing to do with the teacher's decision to show a movie like that anyway. They had no way of knowing so the only person responsible is the person. In grade school, 5th grade, I watched Forest Gump in a class... lol. No one thought that was bad with all the gore, cussing, political stance, violence, drug use, sex, and nudity. So really, the guardians knew what the movie was about and knew that a lot of people would think it "disgusting" or "wrong" to show it. Anyway, greed is terrible and if they want to bankrupt a school board that would mean the education of others would be damaged then that's them. I know I would feel terrible knowing that the money to buy books went into a new dollhouse for a child that probably wasn't even emotionally scarred in the first place. Krista

Happy Birthday!!!! Have a good one, Krista

Happy Birthday Graeme!!!! Have a good one, Krista

Well, I don't know how your mother is, but the only way I can make my mother happy on Mother's Day is be her little slave and not complain about it... "Krista show some appreciation, it's Mother's Day." The person below me can't sleep. Krista

Cold As You - Taylor Swift You have a way of coming easily to me. And when you take, you take the very best of me. So I start a fight 'cause I need to feel somethin' And you do what you want 'cause I'm not what you wanted. (CHORUS) Oh, what a shame. What a rainy ending given to a perfect day. Just walk away, no use defending words that you will never say. And now that I'm sittin' here thinkin' it through, I've never been anywhere cold as you. You put up walls and paint them all a shade of gray. And I stood there lovin' you and washed them all away. And you come away with a great little story of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you. (CHORUS) Oh, what a shame. What a rainy ending given to a perfect day. So just walk away, no use defending words that you will never say. And now that I'm sittin' here thinkin' it through, I've never been anywhere cold as you. You never did give a damn thing, honey. But I cried, cried for you. And I know you wouldn't have told nobody if I died, died for you. (Died for you) Oh, what a shame. What a rainy ending give to a perfect day. Every smile you fake is so condescending. Counted all the scars you made. Now that I'm sittin her thinkin' it through, I've never been anywhere cold as you Krista

Happy Mother's Day! Krista

If you had your druthers, and you can go back, what would you have done differently? ---- Let's see, I would go back and change some things, like I wouldn't have tried to impress my dad all that much. I wouldn't have entered into an engagement with David last year. I also would have thought a lot longer on the removal of my ovaries, just in case the doctors were mistaken. Have you learned anything? ---- I don't know really, I'm only 21. I'm seeing that I still have a lot of options and a lot of things to learn about being an adult in general... lol. That I can't get away with things that I could not too long ago, because people are starting to expect more of me. What was the major lesson of your life? ---- That things don't work out, dreams get shattered, and things can be taken away. That all of that isn't the end of the world so get over it. (It's what my grandmother told me at christmas, she's in her mid 90's. Then I opened her gift for me and it was sexy underwear)... STILL... a good little thing to keep in mind.. haha. What was the best and the worst decision you made? ---- (Best) - To get help over my eating disorders. (Worst) - To start them in the first place. Krista

Krista

Lol.. well I let my boyfriend's parents hear it today so maybe I'm not the best one to answer this. ... But since, "F**k with them" could be anything (as in anything bad) then I'll say, Let it all out. Everything out in the air and pent up feelings being set free can be a very theraputic way to rid yourself of not only a problem, but stress as well.. lol. A Well trained dog or a goofy trouble making dog? Krista

There would be BBQ sauce involved.. but eh not entirely a BBQ (I wish it was that simple.. lol), we're having a Mother's Day celebration. My mother expects it to be this huge deal as well. The person below me got into this huge argument with someone they shouldn't have. Krista
