I have a message from Bozeman to pass on to you. Her machine is down. :( So she can't post. Fortunately my email address is easy to remember, since her email addresses are also on her old computer. I was waiting for her ok to post it verbatim, but I guess she is having trouble finding a computer, so I'll hope it's ok to do it this way.
From Bozeman:
"If you think of it and
don't mind, would you post to her and just tell her
from me how
terrific she is, how capable she is, how smart she is,
how strong she is, and that I know she can do this!!
She's facing a really rough scary thing right now,
starting over out on her own, but I know she can do
it!! She's tougher than she gives herself credit for,
and her heart is bigger than she knows. I think of
her often and wish her strength."Back to Dinah:
And Kara Lynne, I also add my best wishes to you. I've been so self centered and wrapped in my own concerns lately that I may be missing a lot of what's going on around me. I hope you're doing well.

Shhhh about my goods. Of course I'll hook your cats up, but won't take any responsibility if they break anything while under the influence. Tell you what, I'll even provide it from my personal stash--not the stuff Tony (see, even I know it should be capitalized) touched. Mine is far superior in quality.
Oh, I think I have a secret I would love to share, but I am still gathering intell.
~Aurora
p.s. Thank you for clarifying that stuff up about me being Tony’s alter. God, I can barely handle living with him yet alone in him…MOL
Yours truely,
~Aurora

I thank you and bozeman. I can't tell you how much this means to me today. I was just walking upstairs thinking I'm too old and too over and too ruined. Let there be something that can soften this hardness and give me hope. This did.

I kept thinking, Are you sure bozeman was talking about me? The old narcissist: thinking poorly about myself---all the time.

Dinah, was too embarassed to tell you but, yeah they goofed, that message was supposed to be for Karen. GEEZ Kara Lynn. What does it take?
Its tragic really how quickly we'll believe people when they criticize us, but if the same people told us we were gifted, suddenly we'd think they couldn't really know what they were talking about.

Tut tut, Aurora. You know you can't use this website to exchange information on how to obtain non ASPCA approved drugs. ^-^

One with me banging my head against something really hard.
I was so thoughtless. Gosh once when I mentioned that there were times I was so oversensitive that I'd start thinking crazy things, like everyone at babble was suddenly mad at me :
Beardedlady posted back, jokingly "Yes I'm mad at you" I did the same thing! my heart sank for a second. Then I realized of course she was kidding.
And I did end up laughing at it and how ridiculous and delusional my thinking can be.
I'm sorry Kara Lynne for even giving you an extra second of insecurity.

All the thanks are due to Bozeman, and I'll pass them on since I'm really not sure if she can read the board right now.
Old, you? I have this strong impression that you're quite a bit younger than I? I felt every one of my forty-some years today. We went easter egg rolling and I thought it was well past time I showed my son how to roll down a hill. Several rolls later, full of brickles, I discovered that time has affected my inner ear. My soul might be about eight but my body is acting its age. A couple of hours later the world is finally righting. :) And my seventy year old mom went with us, although she had to scoot down the hill on her rump. No such thing as old.

When I was seven I was hill rolling, but because I put my hands in my jacket pocket I kept on going right across the street. I never did it again.

Ouch. I hope you weren't seriously hurt. :(
No street within rolling distance here. But son and I did manage to roll enough at an angle to bash our heads together but good on the last roll. I still can't figure out how he caught up with me. Shouldn't my vastly superior weight (sigh) have had me at the bottom of the hill first? My husband muttered something about drag coefficient or somesuch.

No, I'm probably very near your age. But I'm feeling old so it was good to read your post. The not having a family and worrying that I never will is making me feel my oldness. Or maybe it just makes me *judge* my age in a way I think I wouldn't if I had a family. I'm trying not to use a very negative word to describe how it feels that I used in a post to Gabbix--Gabbi how would you describe it since you have forbid me to use the word? And by the way, you are totally forgiven, don't worry.

Thats a good question, I suppose I shouldn't have forbidden you to use it if I didn't have a good answer. I think "not having children' though unweildy is a bit better.
Barren is just so all encompassing you know.
It sounds like a description of your entire person. As if all the things you've created and all the tears you've cried and people whose lives you touch are all deleted by one word... barren.Or maybe its just me on a tangent? : )

No I wasn't hurt, it sure scared me though.
I actually just the thought of it makes me laugh hysterically now. The mental picture.Now, somehow I think you're "roll" question has something to do with an experiment I had to do in grade 4 from the room of my school. (All of the kids told me I could fly if I just tried)
No I'm kidding, I wasn't desperately unpopular until I was 13.
We had to drop things like a rubber ball and a marble off the roof to see if the heavier thing would fall faster but it didn't.
Oh I don't know. I bet your husband does :)

Give her my regards.

I'm sorry Kara Lynne. Of course it is different if you have biological clock issues, and I feel like an idiot for telling a family story. Forgive me. :(

No, Dinah! Please don't feel bad! I'm happy to hear about your family--you can't help it you have one! Many posters here do. It's my issue and I'd have it whether or not you posted about your family.
It's just really so overwhelming lately. I know it's not something people with families can relate to, but today I wonder if I'll feel this way forever. I just keep having to tell myself I'm not dead yet, you know? I have at least five minutes left for a miracle.
