Baltimore pictures are up. Angela also has her own version here.
We had a really nice time, and it was wonderful to get three whole days of uninterrupted “us” time. Baltimore wasn’t the greatest city I’ve ever visited but we enjoyed ourselves none the less!
Pin Someone you know is likely struggling with anxiety. Likely, many of you are, too, just like I am. With general anxiety running rampant across society right now, we can also assume that a large portion of social anxiety is going around too. If you have a friend who has struggled to keep plans or stay in touch, be kind. Recognize their anxiety and take a small action that sends the message that you are happy to see them. For me, it’s been a sincere hug or smile upon seeing me. It’s an immediate reminder that this person wants to be with me. There is an undeniable feeling that seeing me makes them happy.
They probably have no idea how much they have done by expressing that to me, but it makes all the difference in the world. I can immediately go from being all in my insecurities to all in the acceptance and warmth of long-time friends. It might not seem like much, but it is.
If you read my other blog at all, you pretty much know I’ve been working on a ton of tech things lately. I know this is directly in response to the stress that’s going on at work. Our annual meeting is next week, and we’re having a bigger meeting than we’ve ever done before. Somewhere…
Isn’t it weird how much a bad dream can leave you feeling completely out of it when you wake up? I had a dream last night/this morning about having a panic attack. I don’t normally suffer from panic attacks but in my dream, I had a bad one, and since no one around me seemed…
Yeah it’s been awhile since I had anything to say over on this side of the world. I guess that all has to do with being busy. Haven’t had a whole lot of time to really be contemplative lately, so it means less posting over here. Of course that usually means more posting over on…
Here in the US, this past weekend was Labor Day, which is sort of the last three day weekend to enjoy the summer. We spent it in Chicago, taking in the sites, traveling with Angela’s parents and just generally having a good time seeing what there is to see. Of course, I also spent a…
Yes, here in the US, it was Independence Weekend, which also happens to coincide with my birthday. (Yes, having your birthday be a National Holiday and never have to work, is pretty freakin’ awesome!) Anyway, this year was a pretty big milestone, as I turned 40. No, I’m not all that upset about it. Frankly,…

Did you even bother to look around and see what this site is REALLY about before posting that comment? Besides you’re the one who got here from a search, what were you looking for? 🙂
I am doing a report well a bunch of reports on child abuse. I am 12 years old and very very interested in stopping abuse.So all of u people who are with me give me an e-mail and if u have any stories or books on abuse then just e-mail me the titles and stories at blonde_stewy@hotmail.com. thanks for all of your help and lets stop it!!
yes i would like to stop child abuse because it is sad and stupid to see children being abuse. When I did a project on child abuse I felt so sorry for the children who have been abused because they have to deal with the bad situations and the harsh punishment. And that is not the way to handle things not to beat on them . Plus who iis dumb enough to hurt their children like that. That is horrible and very bougs.
I think that child abude is a really bad thing because it hurt really bad. If I was them I would run away because I could not put up with what my parent would be doing to do. I would be really mad and I would run to the poile station and live with my gradma for the rest of my life time.
child abuse is not right
I think that all abuse is wrong and that poeple wh abuse and hurt other have a seriuos problem. They need to get help.I personaly have been abused in every way possible so I know how they all feel.I wish some of the abuser around the world knew how it feels.
I think that child abuse should be stopped! i have custody of one of my granddaughters that was abused by her mother at 5 months so I know waht it is. I think that if people look really look at it they will see that when you could punish your child (a good ass whooping)thre wasn’t as much abuse as there is these days, also the things they are taught in schools about abuse (wrong)I had many stripes as a child on my legs from peach tree limbs and let me tell you it done me good. So I think your wrong when you say you can’t whoop a child. Now a days everything thing is considered child abuse. they take it a little too far. Kids would be alot better off if they could get a spanking without it being abuse. So many parents these days won’t touch a kid because they think they will be locked up. That’s what’s wrong with kids these days that are so out of control and run over the parents cause they know you can’t do a damn thing about it cause they yell abuse so damn much.
