*delicately steps around the Tam Puddle even though I am kinda curious as to how slippery the puddle would be* (Indoor sock skating is something I still love doing, and if I can find a way to increase my speed, awesome! No offense Tam! *air hugs so as not to disturb the puddle*)

*GINORMOUSLY HUGE gentle hugs for Lawman* I'm sorry you're in pain, hon. I haven't had much more than a minor headache since I had a blood patch after my youngest was delivered, but boy-howdy that one was a doozy. Spinal headaches... I feel a portion of your pain though, even if it was only a 3 day temporary thing. I hope you get to feeling better soon. If it's not to much for me to offer a bit of advice: Try soaking your hands and feet in warm water and placing a cold pack at the base of your skull. It makes the blood flow to your hands and feet increase, and allows the excess blood in your brain to flow back out and hopefully decrease any pressure that might be the cause of your pain.

OH! And Law! It doesn't bother me (or from the looks of it Tam) if you vent about your issues. I know I may not always have the best advice, or know what to say, but I'm always an open ear (eyes in this case, since it's all text XD). You're on my fb, so feel free to shoot me a message, hon. *more hugs*

-clings to Kilala- thank you

*Tries to freeze the Tam puddle*...wait, didn't I tru that before?

AutobotDen, bit by a what?

I'm not sure what bit me, but I suspect mosquito.

*hugs the clinginess* I take it something I said did the trick? lol

*packs cold packs around the Tam-puddle to try and help her solidify* Hopefully things'll cool down for you here soon. :( I don't like seeing my friends melt.

AutobotDen! http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticon...gif?1292862514 They're evil little devils, aren't they?

...that onionhead...

And yeah, a few got me as well.

I just hope you didn't get any bedbugs from that place you stayed, Den. *paranoid woman here!*

LOL It'd be slippery to skid on like those space age silicon oil stuff compounds. You would go ZING! SPLAT!

Anybody here ever see 'War of the Worlds: Goliath'? Teddy Roosevelt with a heat ray!

@Tam - Sadly, nope. Sounds funny, though xD

...what should a son do when his father tells his mother that he disapproves of 75% of her?

...what should I do when my father expects both myself and my mother to "get over things" when he constantly brings more things up, and follows the view of "it's my house, so you have to listen to me."

...when either of us tries to walk away when a conversation gets to be too much, he tends to follow/corner...or wait for another opportunity to bring it back up.

...part of depression and the like is reinforced by constantly bringing it up. It's sort of the "catch 22" of therapy. (It is good to get the thoughts out in the open/out of your system, but it is also much better to be able to stop obsessing over them)

@Lawtan: It's times like this that I wish I had all my stuff. I'm sure there's something that I could do that might be able to help... even if it didn't seem like it at the time.

@Tam: I really hope it's not that. Though I haven't seen any more bites since the other day, which leads me to think it was either a mosquito, or a chigger from when I went to watch crap get blown up last Friday. (some friends and I went to a lake near where one of them lives, and we walked across grass to get to where stuff was being set up to be blown up). Also, that show/movie(?) sounds interesting, just for what you posted about it.

*Shakes AutobotDen* Don't worry about that bit. I am trying to get things together to open up opportunities...

I just wish I knew what to do.

*is shaken* Awk!!!! *Shaken Den Syndrome*

Omg... so tired. I can't wait to not have have kids.

*hugs Faux and gives Monster*

Is steampunk mecha animated movie, where they heard about the arch duke being assassinated and went to shoot martians instead of each other.

And... *big hug* *and a lot of sympathy* No way of moving out?

Sounds like just a skeeter. *relieved*

XD It's not too bad. They avoided some of the common idiocies of animation aimed at adults. Thought apparently the director's cut version has Adam Baldwen's character flip the bird at a tripod just before it heat rays him.

*sympathy!* *but can't help laughing as I think of the progress of your posts over the span of the kids' visit*

O.o Shaken Den Syndrome? *stops shaking Den*

Not really...at least not until I can get enough to find something where I can continue what I am working on. Even then, I'd have to worry about my mother, and him. (he has proven unstable before...and he is military/gun obsessed)

*Tries to gather fauxreal's kids up for storytelling. Chance of failure 98.5%*

Oh, dear. *worries about Lawtan and Lawtan's Ma*

*hugs Law again* :/
