so just got a call, my moms blood sugar is way out of wack and they are admitting her for at least a week. now I don't exactly get along with her, but she is my mother.
as if I didn't have enough stress. between losing time friends, Amanda dieing and me dealing with standard business crap...
stick a damn fork in me, I'm done.
if I wasn't for the fact I don't drink, I would be right now.
that old saying "I know god won't trust me with more then I can handle, I just wish he did not trust me so much..." is really sounding about legit right now... and I don't even believe in god.

It'll all work out Tab. It always does. Don't let it get you down. Remember, everything in life, including life, is temporary.
-
I know, its just still I don't need this shit now.
my plate is more then full.
-
Thinking of ya Tab.
God Bless
Richard
PS: You may have your doubts but I believe!
-
Hang in there TAB.
Find worries you can "back burner"...ones that there is nothing you can do to influence the outcome. They will work out the way the will no matter how much you worry about them.
Have some dark chocolate too...and take care
-
some times i really do feel like i have to keep relearning no good deed goes un punished.
i am beyond sick of dealing with others bull shit.
tired of getting stabbed in the back.
-
I do hope things get better for you. I mean that.
I know you don't believe and that's your call yet Richard and I have our certainty. I would mention that a visit to Hebrews 12:6-11 may be profitable to you. Another thing is for certain, no one in this world is out to help you 24/7....if it involves a man or a woman be certain that you'll be let down sooner or later.
Normalcy will, in some form, return along with all the people living in this world letting you down from time to time.
-
Just remember TAB, all good things are the result of strife.
Peace and serenity result in stagnation.
-
Hang in there buddy,I know it doesn't seem like it but it will get better,it's only temporary.

I can't make you believe, TAB, but I will offer a prayer of intercession on your behalf.
Even Jesus Himself said there would be difficulties in this life.....but He offered hope in the simple verse of John 16:33.
-
Tab, I dare say most of us have been where you are, deep in despair or frustration, desperate to find a way back. Hang on, stay your course, take a deep breath. I like the dark chocolate idea too! ;)
Along with others here, I too have faith. And the saying in your OP is wrong - God gives you way more than you can handle simply to get you to turn to Him. If you could do it all, handle it all yourself, you would not need Him, would you? You may wish to ponder that.
In the meantime, stay frosty.
-
I am not in dispare or frustration.
I am just sick of others dumping their probs on me.
-
A bunch of the drama in our lives is caused by our own actions. Not saying that's the case with you but sometimes, walking away is a better course of action..
Some folks don't want to be helped!
-
Tim's right. Some people don't want to be helped.
Take my mother-in-law for instance. Please, take her. I mean it.

Sounds like we have much in common besides the love of all things firearms. ;)
My mother-in-law is a piece of work....if you gave her a brick of pure gold, she would grumble because it wasn't round.

sounds like she is related to my mom... nothing is ever good enough or right.

Things getting better Tab?
-
Worse.
-
Sorry to hear that.
-
And Ijust got a fix it ticket in a rental car. f..k me.
-
Dang. Seems to never end sometimes. Having not been nosey, I don't know but hope everyone is healthy?
-
... hope everyone is healthy?
Amen to that! I spent last weekend in ICU with a Saddle Pulmonary Embolism. I knew I was okay, the real threat happened two weeks earlier, but everyone else freaked.
Count your blessing Tab, it helps. Then go shoot, that helps too. Repeat as necessary. ;)
-
f..k me,,, it gets worse...
-

My grandpa used to say "Some people would bitch if you hung them with a gold chain."
-
just had to have my 30+ year friend served in both federal and state court =(
-
Hate to hear that it came to that....it's always nice to be able to settle things out of court, and sometimes you have to do the harsh things like take a friend to court.
I know you are not a believer in the Almighty, but I'll say a prayer for you anyway.
-
great Monday... had to fire a guy this morning... I always hate having to do that, but caught the guy on camera stealing tools out of the shop. shop meeting tomorrow...
-
I hope he's prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
-
Yep..... I've always hated for people to force me to do something I dislike doing because they can't act right.
-
My dad hated liars and thieves more than murderers. Someone may kill in a moment of passion and never kill again but liars and thieves lie and steal constantly.

So what's a Saddle Pulmonary Embolism? Just the name freaks me out.
Also, Tab....getting on an even keel yet?

Too many years of medical training:
It is when the emboli (clot) sits at the "saddle" of the aorta (the place just prior to the lungs where the aorta forms two branches), and it extends down both branches. Think of it as a cowboy on a saddle with one leg on each side of the horse.
As far as serious, they are large and in an area where they can cut off all flow, but because of their location they do not move as easily as others. Think of stringy stuff in a utility sink drain that loops over the cross bars in the drain.
-
I knew what a pulmonary embolism was but didn't have a clue about that saddle P.E.
-
Dang that is really serious. Mike I didn't know you had medical training or maybe I just forgot.
-
Almost 20 years as an EMT, and 15 of those as an instructor in the state vo-tech system training EMT'S and fire fighters. Then there is the BS in Mortuary Science, which is part of Univ. Of Minnesota Medical School. And, then 25 years of talking with docs as they do autopsies that I need to stitch back together.
-
EMT and Funeral home operator ?
Isn't that a conflict of interest ?
These are the kind of things I wonder about at before my first coffee.
-
In Minnesota they call it "The Rule Of '69"
1969is when legislation took ambulance services out of funeral homes. Funeral directors were the only people with vehicles and equipment to handle the injured and sick (and dead).
I actually resigned as an EMT and instructor 6 months after taking over the funeral home. Picture this: You are in your mid 70's, you wake up at 5am feeling nauseous, soon chest pains start, your wife calls the ambulace, and you recognize the first two responders through the door - A very well known local pastor and the town undertaker. I could cause the kind of fear and concern I saw in that mman's eyes or heard in his words, "I'm not that bad!"
-
ROFL yeah, I see where that would cause problems.

Would make a very good scene in some Dark Comedy movie. :D :D

Like Mike said, a saddle PE is pretty serious but I was okay when it happened-looking back I know when that was. But EVERYONE else looked at me like I was a dead man walking. The Thoracic Surgeon kept eyeballing me until I asked him what was wrong during one of his early morning visits (no rest in a hospital-by the way) and he told me he wanted to open me up-as in open chest surgery. I asked him why he didn't, he told me he couldn't because I was doing too well. ???

Cutters wanna cut... I had 20 plus surgeries in 53 days... I have no respect left for surgeons...filthy f*#king people... some don't wash their hands!
Glad you're OK, Bryan...

Me too. I know I upset some people on a number of levels, I was paying after all and I needed to get my monies worth. I told one nurse that I would have recovered on my own if I hadn't come to hospital, it may have taken a few years but I would have been fine. The look she gave me... lol! ;D

Imarried one... lol. Most docs are like that anyway.

I was on a tear that day... I don't have a big bitch with all cutters... I had a particularly bad one who also tried to assume the duties of general doctoring, infectious disease doctoring, psychotherapy doctoring, et al! He was a f....k putz..
He easily cost me a month in the hospital that could have been prevented if basic cleanliness practices had been maintained in his operating room! He was a 35 year old kid just finishing his residency. Probably overworked and underpaid but he signed up for the gig... If I ever lay my hands on the little shit I don't know what I'd do...
The folks that rebuilt my face were phenomenal docs and the nurses, for the most part, were wonderful and a few were extraordinary!
-
Mine gets a thrill when I have a splinter that needs to be removed by cutting it out. She actually gets mad if I do it myself. That being said, we did meet in tge er.

My regular Doc is on some exchange program in New Zealand until July, his replacement I could fold and put in a carry on. The little b!tch decided I don't need my pain killers that work (Hydrocodone) and put me on some different ones (NSAID) that interfere with my INR (Blood thinners) even though BOTH my Pharmacist and INR Clinic both threw a flag on the play.
So I have an appointment with my new doctor next month, ;D , currently my wife's doc and she is up to speed on my recent medical history. She's an athlete, a real one, not a running-little-waif-wanna-be-good-for-nothing-couldn't-diagnose-a-pulmonary-embolism-without-a-nurse....
