oh no... what an awful birthday GratefulFan! Hope the rest of the year is an improvement!
How's your son now? Hope he's better soon, and that it wasn't anything serious.

What a birthday! Hope your son is okay.

ahhh... i'm just back from the beach with my friends... it was such a great night :D

Hope everyone gets better!

Thanks all for the concern about my boy. In truth what happened was probably a blessing as scary as it was. Several weeks ago he had an incident (parents reading prepare to die a little here) where he briefly lost consciousness behind the wheel of a car on his way to work. The saving grace was that he was not alone, he was at a red light, and driving a standard vehicle so he didn't shoot into the intersection. His friends rushed him to emergency and he was found to be in cardiac arrhythmia. Looking back there was probably signs of this before that were less dramatic, and he has had a few more minor spells since - chest pressure, dizziness and falls but no blackout. As a result of that first incident it was arranged that he be fitted with a holter monitor for 24 hours, and it happened to be fitted on my birthday morning. So this incident will have been captured on the holter monitor - a minor miracle given that days and days have gone by between hints of anything amiss. So if the issue is cardiac in nature there will be an excellent chance of having it more clearly diagnosed based on the holter recording. So really, it may turn out to be a pretty amazing birthday present after all. Obviously I've been pretty sick with worry, losing sleep, focus etc. At 17 they think they're bulletproof. But I'm really hopeful for more clarity soon and a resolution if necessary. Thanks again for everybody's concern. :)

Oh God. I hope he's getting better all the time now.

So, i was to go to a status quo concert tonight. But it pissed rain, so we didn't go. i'm sad :(

I want the Baby Blue Special.

Just a couple of pics that have made me snicker lately.  This at a dollar store yesterday...WTF...I did smell it and found it well intentioned but stale, with a hint of sandalwood and desperation. And this.  My son has been in the hospital for a few days and as unamusing as that is this shot outside his window did make me laugh.  Yes, that is a piece of gauze wrapped around the pigeon picks (or whatever they are called) on a second floor ledge outside windows that do not open. Clearly bird triage. I don't want to hear another peep about the Canadian Health Care system.  Well funded, compassionate, comprehensive.

Those pictures are hilarious!

I've been in an online relationship for almost three years. Never actually 'met' the guy in real life (lived in different continents) but spent literally hours each day talking on skype. And i had to leave him. And i know it was the right decision, but my heart is breaking... didn't expect it to be this hard. There are so many reasons, there's no way we would be happy together for good (we'd maybe have a happy year or two, but he got really controlling, and gets too angry), but no matter what my head says, i am so so sad. I'm already sick - been sick all week - and now i can't stop crying as well as that. And i can't go out and distract myself cos i'm sick. So i'm stuck sitting in my room for next two days on my own thinking about him and how things couldn't possibly have been as bad as i thought they were. :(
Like i said before, i was raised very strictly, so he was my first actual boyfriend, and three years feels like a long time. :(
And he is devastated :( And it kills me to know how much pain i'm causing him.
I'm so saaaaaaaaaaddddddddd.

I had to turn down a chick from America about 3 years ago. I mean, she was seriously talking marriage and moving to Australia and all of that jazz. Not to put it all on her - she was really splendid, but it was just not gonna happen.

Being that I'm a bit of a hobgoblin (physically speaking - we can talk about my shit personality another day) I've never actually had to reject someone in my life, so I've always assumed it was an asshole thing to do and that there must be no emotional cost involved at all.

Boy was that a lot of toss! I felt utterly fucked, for ages actually. Really guilty. Still, onward and upward!

Well, we were both talking marriage. I met his dad on skype, we met each others best friends on skype. Just became clearer and clearer that it wasn't working out, and he didn't really like me going out in real life with real friends and stuff, plus he got fairly (verbally - well obviously it was verbal, it was online lol) aggressive. I'm just so sad about it. I mean i knew it was coming for ages, so basically 'mourned' the relationship for past month or more, but i just wish it could be different.

And you're not ugly lol.
