Good Monday Morning
 
Good Morning
Like I said before, I will be here when I can be. Tell me, when does it stop getting worse and start getting better? I know it's only been 3 weeks but damn, I have got to snap out of this soon.

Anyway, this is a good morning thread and I really hate to bring anyone down. Nobody around my home sees me without a smile on my face. :)

So, good morning and have a great day.

Hi Jim, nice to see you posting. :)

Wow what a surprise, looks like rain today.

Went to the Pride Festival up the street from us and got caught in a rainstorm from hell. Went back home and spent the rest of the day watching the first four episodes of Hex.

Getting my teeth cleaned today and then just another exciting day of errands and work.

Good Morning All :) Hello Jim, good to see you posting :)

bluebrit 2008-06-23 07:45 AM

Hi Jim, good to see you here again :D and good morning to everybody up bright and early for another day of porn mongering |thumb

Ramster 2008-06-23 07:50 AM

Good Morning Jim and everyone else. :)

Rain here again today and I am suppose to go get fitted for new golf clubs at 10am. Likely that'll be canceled.

Simon 2008-06-23 07:55 AM

Good morning world |waves|

The usual heat and humidity here. Running a few errands early while it's a few degrees cooler before the sun gets all the way up, then back inside with the a/c on for the rest of the day.

Jim - I wish I could tell you when it gets better, but June 19th was one year for me and the loss is still as fresh and painful as it was last year. I do what you do, put a smile on my face (and in my words) for everyone else, but inside nothing has really gotten better. Maybe the second year gets easier, but so far no changes.

Wishing everyone a day full of reasons to go on.

:)

Jim, welcome back |waves|
Your loss and pain is so fresh, it takes more time, much more. Sorry for my honesty.

Cleo,
so we meet our dentists/oral surgeons today, cool.. not. |shocking|

My mini is melting... pretty hot here. It has gotten new fans twice last year but it is such a stupid construction, doh.

Have a great day everybody.

Good Monday Peoples |waves|

I worked a bit yesterday, all the while kicking one shin with the other leg's foot for deciding to make changes to every category page that can't be done with a simple search & replace |banghead|

I then watched The Skeleton Key & was totally surprised by the twist & then spent the next 15 minutes thinking back & realizing that it all made sense. (I know I'm 3 years behind everyone else)

Also, Netflix seems to return The Bucket List as one of the possible movies for every search I make |badidea|

It never gets better, just less worse. But I bet if she could, she'd tell you to "MAN UP!" :)

NY Jester 2008-06-23 09:09 AM

Jim, great to see you posting the morning thread. I dont think it gets better it just softens over time. The heartache of the loss, will one day without being announced, turn into joy for the experience and having known such happiness.


On the homefront, seems like there is to be T-storms for a couple days and then Wed/Thurs clear up..Trying to hit the ground running this week. Heres to it!

Porn Slingers Unite..Just say no to the summer slow down!!!

Mornin' y'all,

|coffee is on, help yourself...

Jim, you are much stronger than you imagine, and are stronger than I think I would be if I was in the same situation.

Got a cd stuck in my macbook yesterday and had to reboot to get it out. I think it was trembling in fear because I was installing two different versions of linux.

I read an article yesterday about Airlines increasing the minimum stay rule to save fuel. Lets see, I need a round trip ticket, by staying overnight the airline will save fuel because... ?

Shoveling some bits and bytes this afternoon in the never ending quest to finish up this other project so I can start doing some live testing. It is funny that wordpress has become the default test to find issues. Because of all that backend stuff they do, it does make for a good usability test.

Here's to the start of a great week.

Actually she would say WOMAN UP! She always thought that all men were weak. The thing is that I go 3 nights without being able to sleep with lots of ambien and vallium. And then I sleep 22 hours from exhaustion.

Every night I think I will be able to work the next day and I find myself just staring into space...all day. I go 3 or 4 days without eating a thing. God knows, I could lose some weight but 35 pounds in a month seems to be a bit much. And, I am on day 23 without sleeping in my bed. :( Today, Eva and one of her friends are going to change my room around to make it look more like my room than ours.

This just really sucks :(

LeRoy 2008-06-23 10:03 AM

Good morning everyone. Nice to see you post Jim :)

ArtWilliams 2008-06-23 10:15 AM

Good morning.

Yell 2008-06-23 10:32 AM

Good morning..

Jim the thought of it all will NEVER leave your mind, Time will heal some of the wounds... Its going to take some time and sometimes you really just have to push yourself... I know exactly what you are feeling you know if you need ANYTHING all you have to do is pick up the phone and i am here for you!! |thumb

terry 2008-06-23 10:36 AM

Good Morning Jim and Everyone.

Its raining here again as well.. oh well.

Have a good one!

Tekster 2008-06-23 10:37 AM

Good Morning,

Good to see you here Jim. Just give it time, there is no set time for healing.

I am finally home after an unexpected long weekend away. We had a good time, but now it is time to get back into the grind. :(

JustRobert 2008-06-23 10:43 AM

Good Morning :)
I may have screwed up my surgery a bit in a small slip over the weekend so I need to see the oral surgeon today and have him check it out, damn I do not want to do this again |banghead|

Jim,
A family member with a great loss a few years back told me that you cannot put a time limit on it. One day you will notice it does not hurt as much as it use to and will continue to lessen to a point, but will always be there. Until then, please eat a little even if you do not want to.

Twiceshy 2008-06-23 11:03 AM

Good Morning , cloudy and cool here today so no sitting on the deck relaxing :(. So i guess i wil do a little work and just see what i can acomplish.

Jim as a few have said it never goes away it just gets a little easier with each day. You need to eat even if you dont want to.

bluemoney 2008-06-23 11:13 AM

Good morning all!
Hot and sticky as HELL here!

Jim – You are an important piece of her life’s legacy. Take care of that legacy by taking care of yourself.

JohnnyR 2008-06-23 11:14 AM

Jim I never knew you or your wife and I never went trough what you're going now (I wish I never will nor do I wish it on anybody else but that just can't be) so I can't pretend I know what you're going to... The one thing I will say is that I think you're handling it way better then I would. I would probably hide in a dark corner and weep all day long and never want to see or speak to anybody again ever. Which would be a mistake, cuz the only thing that can help except time is the company of friends and family. It always helps to talk about it, even if it's just here on the board. So make sure to write whenever you feel like it, we're all here for you!

JackDaniel's 2008-06-23 11:20 AM

Good Morning Everyone |waves|

Nice to see you posting Jim! ;)

sue-fl 2008-06-23 11:21 AM

Morning!

Good to see you posting Jim! Wish I had magic words or pills for you for your pain. Lean on your friends we don't mind |thumb

Today it's not raining yet so I'm going for a quick swim then get to work.

Have a great day all |thumb

Licker4U 2008-06-23 11:27 AM

Good to see you posting Jim |waves| |thumb A therapist told me years ago that they don't believe in the "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" philosophy except when it comes to depression. He told me to make myself go to a movie, make myself go out to dinner, force myself to do anything that was once pleasurable. Grief and depression are very similar. The pain doesn't go away, we find ways to deal with it so it doesn't hurt as much.
