"Question me now about all other matters, but do not ask who I am, for fear you may increase in my heart its burden of sorrow as I think back; I'm very full of grief, and I should not sit in the house of somebody else with my lamentation and wailing."
-Homer's The Odyssey Book 19, 115-120

If the database is transferred or sold, my property (entries, pictures, gifs, etc.) may not be used for any purpose other than their original appli...

  • My goodbye letter …
    October 23, 2013
    My last entry discussed my need to walk away and move on. (Here if you missed it.) It's time to include Open Diary in the equation. As everyone is talking about it, I will too. Even though it is not my main reason for leaving OD. But I too, like every other diarist here, am…

  • It was the best of times. It was the worst of time
    October 22, 2013
    I wish we were able to go back and re-write history.   I wish we were able to crawl into a loved one's head and make all the bad things floating around in there disappear.   I wish love and compassion and friendship could be enough.   I wish there were no deaths.   But,…

  • Well F*CK you too
    October 20, 2013
    But I still love you. Nothing you can say will ever change that.  But you already know this. And one day, when you have learned to love yourself, learned to love what you already have and have had all along instead of always looking/wanting for *more*, you will understand this. And when that...

  • You (insert individuals name) SUCK!
    October 15, 2013
    Oh you better believe I'm mad. I'm mad as hell! I'm so mad that this entry probably won't make much sense but I'm going to try to keep it together as much as possible. How dare you. How fuckin' dare you put that shit on my shoulders! From this day forward you have forever changed…

    October 4, 2013
    I'm really, really beginning to hate this night shift work. Granted it works best for my little family. But it is starting to wear me down. I hate to give it up though because it is the only down time I get. I get paid to sit in peace and quiet. I get paid to…

  • I’m a Bitch. So what?
    September 25, 2013
    ***CROSS POSTED*** Ugh. Just Ugh!   So those that have been reading me for years may remember the occasional rant about my SIL always comparing The Child to her son since he is only 6 days younger than The Child. We originally had the same due date but I was induced a week early.  &nbsp...

  • What’s in a title anyway?
    September 23, 2013
    **CROSS POSTED** I am the worst at figuring out titles for entries. Wittiness is not my forte. Some days I get lucky but most days, I do not.   Anyway, I left off last time discussing The Child's upcoming Karate Tournament. We'd been to one before only as spectators so that she (we) could ge...

    September 12, 2013
    **CROSS POSTED** Before I begin, I just have to thank the person who nominated my last entry for Reader's Choice. Wow. Was not expecting that at all. I don't write to impress others. I don't write to seek popularity. I don't write to appease anyone but myself. I write only to work through issues ...

  • Dear Facebook Friends and Family,
    September 3, 2013
    Would you kindly please stop asking our 11 year old daughter (soon to be 12), or us, her parents, when she will be getting her own Facebook account. Although we are certain your intentions are innocent and noble, it is becoming quite bothersome to constantly repeat ourselves so that is why I have...
