The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I spent all of the evening with my Mother, and well I noticed that she starting to umm "imagine" things. Just things like she is going to my brothers place in Spain next week but yet its scheduled in three weeks time. It's scary to see a such a formidable, intelligent woman starting to not comprehend things.



Worse, I am not sure I can cope with it. My sisters and brother have long flown from the nest, and what with my work..well the pressure would be too much for me.



I don't know how to handle this, and feel kind of lost ..sighs.

Well don't try to handle it alone, inform your family of the possible impending situation at hand. I doubt you family wouldnjustnleave it all to you.

Thanks, The Pinja.. Mum was telling me today that my brother is coming home in October and my sister will be there too..so that will be a good time to have a pow-wow. I just cant carry it all on my shoulders anymore for such long periods at any one time. Your Thought is appreciated a lot. :)

It is just a general observation and not about anyone in particular but are we as a society in general, lacking in respect of other peoples achievements? Are we demeaning to people through our lack of understanding of them, and if so does that make us as a person one who is unaccomplished in people management skills?

People have different standards, and unfortunately one mans triumph is another's usual. People are used to achievements.

Also, some people may not ever think if those achievment as worth praising. Out of lack of understanding, and experience.



For example, I dint want, but also I don't get praise for pumping out the same meals every weekend. The fact that I can be consistent is something overlooked by many. But, of I wasn't consistent my bosses wouldn't be giving me hours would they?

Exactly Pinja.

I recently had someone close to me lose their job because of this. :l



No one really cares about others, and the stability that we need. "lacking in respect" is a very polite way of putting it. :)

But isn't it rather remedial of people not to be consider the achievements of who they are assessing? I realise there comes a point when you apply sociable or practicable skills that may taken forgranted. But then I consider that prudish, and well snobbish to do so.

Down from the glen came the marching men

With their shields and their swords

To fight the fight they believed to be right

Overthrow the overlords



To the town where there was plenty

They brought plunder, swords and flame

When they left the town was empty

Children would never play again



From their graves I heard the fallen

Above the battle cry

By that bridge near the border

There were many more to die



Then onward over the mountain

And outward towards the sea

They had come to claim the emerald

Without it they could not leave



I miss you love..

I have plastered the sandbox with words lol, it stopped me from thinking... so I appreciate the de-stresser! However, I am thinking that the value of the posts in the main forum should far outweigh those in the sandbox and other forums. At least there may be a little thought going into the main forum threads!







On reflection this week was a tiring difficult trying week. We went out for dinner last night with friends but I had to come home early as I was so incredibly tired and unable to think. I relaxed and took to the sandbox to relax my mind.



Today isn't any better.. I typed one report up but I am just so overwhelmed with tiredness that I can barely keep my eyes open. My head needs to shut off from work for work for a few days so I can lessen this freekin' stress. I need to get the results of those exams quick before I crack up!

A nice soak in the bath with candles may help ease some stress hun, works for me, glass of wine whilst in there probably helps! lol
