- Treading water, or...? (Created by Amber on 09-01-2008 @ 04:59 PM)
I'm feeling kind of tired today. Hung out with a friend, but my battery died while walking around. I find myself getting angry more often now at the unfairness of situation like that. Why can't anything be easier for me? But I know that shows a skewed and whiny perspective and I'm supposed to be str...
- Primal scream! (Created by Amber on 08-28-2008 @ 02:33 PM)
it just gets worse and worse. They're shutting my house down because the licensor lady won the little petty war she was having with my caregivers because they reported her for bad practice once last year. She found some little nitpicky way to get back at them, so four innocent bystanders...
- Memories of Growing up at my Grandparents' House Where I Stayed While My Parents Worked. (Created by Dana on 08-23-2008 @ 05:34 PM)
I have a lot of fond memories of being at my grandparents house when I was young, they watched me during the day while my parents were at work. Some of my earliest memories were of Easter egg hunts my papal would walk behind me as I toddled along with my little basket and point ou...
- Insert primal scream! (Created by Amber on 08-21-2008 @ 06:19 PM)
I'm very angry. You know I told you that my best friend was dealing with ALS? He needs a feeding tube and five minutes before he left for the operation and the insurance company, what passes for state insurance here, decided to inform him that they would not pay for it because it's not life or...
- Dog days of summer (Created by Amber on 08-13-2008 @ 04:39 PM)
So I guess that a visit to a new counselor is a writing worthy experience. Her name is Selena, and although she is nice, the jury is still out on whether I'm going to like her as a counselor or not. She didn't seem to be very receptive, but then again, I'm not feeling tiptop today either. It's...

- Why Don't I Fit In, or Belong? (Created by Dana on 08-10-2008 @ 08:51 AM)
Why Don't I Fit In, or Belong? I don't feel as though I fit in or belong anywhere. Not at school, not at home. not camp or church, or even in my own family. I don't fit in with people my own age. I don't fit in with people younger or older then me. I don't even fit in with people of the same body ty...
- Is It Wrong? (Created by Dana on 08-10-2008 @ 08:43 AM)
Is it wrong? Is it wrong to have dreams and wishes, to want to hang onto childhood? To not want to grow up to the age where dreams and wishes don't exist? to the Age of not believing? Is it wrong to not know about the latest movies and music, but to stick to the ones from your childhood that first i...
- Where's The Love? (Created by Dana on 08-10-2008 @ 08:34 AM)
Where's The Love? Why do people do things, they never really mean? They hug you, smile at you, shake your hand; but there's no warmth. They are like robots, where feelings and emotions don't exist. They ask you how you are, but before you can answer they walk away, or if they do stay to hear their r...
- Do's and Dont's for dealing with someone with Cystic Fibrosis (unknown source) (Created by Dana on 08-06-2008 @ 09:26 PM)
Don'ts Don't assume because I look well that I feel well. Looks can be deceiving. Many days I look great but I feel terrible. Don't tell me you know how I feel. No one knows how anyone feels. Two people with the same disease may feel totally different. We all have varying thresholds of pain, and pai...
- The Reality of Cystic Fibrosis by Brian Adkins (Created by Dana on 08-06-2008 @ 09:08 PM)
We can't live forever so we die slow, still we leave behind a legacy for all to know. Capturing the pain in which the world bestowed upon us, Scared to love so we're trapped within ourselves. From birth they prepared our ditches saying we couldn't live, And the thing we have is pain to give. Living ...
- Tears ( I wrote this many years ago I don't remmber when) (Created by Dana on 08-06-2008 @ 08:57 PM)
Tears can be cause by so many things. They can also mean many things, but they can mean more to someone, who may live no more. They can mean pain is present, they can wash away pain. They can mean sadness, they can mean happiness. They can be caused by distress. They can be caused by Anguish. ...
- The dream that never came true (9 pictures) (Created by Danielle on 08-04-2008 @ 12:02 PM)
This is a compilation of pictures of the service dog I should've had long long ago! Quite frankly, I don't have any answers as to why I don't have her, but the fact of the matter is, now I never will! This is the best way that I could think of to keep her memory alive, because what I kno...
- Time to be hopeful? (Created by Danielle on 08-04-2008 @ 10:22 AM)
By the time some of my regular readers are finished reading this, some of you will probably feel just as I do. What I mean by that is you're probably going to feel like this subject is never ending. At this point, I'm going to tell you that you're right, it is never end...
