Lots of people feeling 'berned'

So, it's been a really rough 6 months for my family (such as it is). We have lost an uncle, best friend, another friend, father, a dog (16 years old), a cat (15 years old) and a bird (28 years old). Never mind all the "fun" of being an MT. After sitting in this grief/pity party for ourselves, my DH and I decided that celebrating Christmas was just too much to bear. After much thought, I decided to check out this website I found and now instead of sitting around feeling out of so ...

Do ya ever just get down in the dumps and don't know why. Things just hit/get to me at times and lately been feeling more stressed. Feel like I'm going to be working til I keel over in my chair from old age. Never enough money, only one in the family working (economic reasons), no kids, no family, no relatives, no friends. I don't go to church and don't want to go to church. My hair is thinning, and my face is breaking out like I'm going thr ...

Look at all the people who have been "mentors" in Ovomits life. A fanatic religious man, a communist who influenced him as a mentor at age 9 on - my feeling is that this man has been raised, schooled and groomed throughout his lifetime by people who wanted him in charge to destroy this country so the U.S. is no longer a force to be reckoned with. He care nothing for the legal citizens in this country (probably not being one himself), ignores the will of the American people to push is own agend ...

I know a lot of people, myself included, who at various times in our lives have made the comment they wish Christmas was over. I am sad to say this year is the first year I have no "Christmas feeling" whatsoever, and I don't want to acknowledge it at all. I am struggling both financially and emotionally picking up a few gifts for just a handful of people, just because I know they are buying for me. I have been through the worst 18 months of my life, and it has taken a trem ...

Had 2nd interview yesterday for a part-time job. Felt confident after 1st interview. Was tolld after 2nd that they would call me Thursday afternoon or Friday morning. Here iit is early Friday afternoon and NO CALL. I was willing to work overnight hours too. My age works against me. They all want the young ones. I am getting desparate and not afraid ot do any type of job. Behind on all my bills. Looking for a silver lining. Been praying ...

I average only 14 gallons of gas per month. At $3.70 a gallon, that is over $51 a month. I walk my child to school. I combine trips. It isn't unusual for my car not to move only one day a week, and I still find it hard to accept the cost of adding gas to my car. Forget about being in a relationship - it's too expensive! My cost to telecommute to work is less than $40 a month for my internet service although costs for electricity are probably higher t ...

Every once in awhile I go on Ebay and just search for "medical transcription" items. I've found good buys in the past on various items (electronic spellcheckers, foot pedals, headphones, etc). For some reason, when I ran the search today and was looking through the items, I started feeling all warm and fuzzy and nostalgic for the "good old days." The days about 20 years ago when I was first learning medical transcription (in-house and on the job), and everything was exciting an ...

Tune in for the democratic debate tonight. It's the extremist pathological liar versus the bern'd out socialist extremist. It ought to be fun! ...

I just need to connect with someone right now. I am alone, and in about 45 minutes I am going up to my stepfather's to help him get our parrot out of her very big cage into the little cage we use when she has to leave the house. She fights it every time, hangs onto the bars and screams. We must take her today to have her nails trimmed. They are very long and I am afraid she will get caught on the bars when she climbs and plays. It is long overdue. M ...

Okay, this is going to sound REALLY stupid and childish and I hope after a long week you get a laugh from this. I can't tell my dear sweet hubbie because he meant good, but I have to tell someone. He did the grocery shopping today. He comes home and I see a container of mint ice cream (I gag thinking of it, but its his favorite), so I'm so excited he bought ice cream. Been in the mood for a bowl of ice cream. I keep emptying the bags putting food awa ...

Been looking on line and then called pharmacist just to back up quitting the Metformin cold turkey. Told the pharmacist went on 500, now up to 1500 and gained 6 lbs in 5 weeks. She told me, yes you can gain that much in a week. I feel like a dunce now- first the NP telling me I could not lose 50 lbs overnight and now the pharmacist telling me I could gain that much in a week. I am going to have to go back to school because the statements being made today are just so much over my head (NOT). I ha ...

I just found out my 2nd cat in 10 years likely has a cryptococcal fungal infection. The 1st one I did the whole treatment, surgery, biopsy, blood titers, fluconazole (150 bucks a month for a year), cost me over $2000. She got better, but about 6 months later, it came back and I could not afford to treat her anymore. I put all that cost on my credit cards. Well fast forward, I now have another cat with the same thing. Saw the vet (different one) and he wants to do a biops ...

Looks like the pressure, protests and outrage is going to prove helpful to provide further investigation into the racial profiling of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman. Eric Holder is expected to make a statement later. ...

I don't know about the rest of you, but I feel very nervous with what's going on at our southern border, the upsurge in terrorism in Iraq and now the escalation of tensions and threats between Israel and the Palestinians. ...

My husband had terrible lower back pain and went to the doctor last week and was told he most likely had sciatica. He was given a prescription for hydrocodone/APAP and told he could also use ibuprofen and to try resting and using ice for relief. It has been over a week and my husband is still in pain. I know sciatica can be terrible, but the thing iis that my husband is making no effort to try to get better, at least that's how it seems to me. When I ask him if the hydrocodone is ...

The fact that Kloppenburg was UNKNOWN two months ago and has all but beaten a 14 year incumbent, goes to show how far out of touch the Republican T-Party is with the working people of Wisconsin. Only five other Supreme Count incumbents have been ousted by a challenger in the history of Wisconsin. It will almost certainly go to recount, but Scott Walker has been put on notice that he will be recalled. Good going Wisconsin! ...

I have a 4-year-old who I would love to put in preschool, but I cannot afford it. I'm on my state's waiting list for childcare assistance as well as the waiting list for Head Start. I've been told I will be on the list for probably 2 years, by which time she will be in kindergarten. I can't even afford half days or just one day a week. I feel like a terrible mother because I can't afford preschool and she is going to be behind when she goes to kin ...

We've got people jumping ship left and right. Our own island, we got people jumping off our own ship." Umhmm. On yesterday's program, Rush objects to the media "fawning" all over President Obama on Inauguration Day, but, as so often, his lengthy stream of consciousness eventually yields an nsight into what he's really thinking, as above. A dem "RUSH: So, folks, I just want to prepare you. I know to some people it's immature, it may be unseemly, it may seem insec ...

and could not believe how much everything in that store had gone up! You would be better shopping at Wal-Mart, Dollar General, or even Target! I was actually in shock. I grew up shopping from Big Lots and that was the place we would save some money on buying things like cleaning supplies and paper products. I guess that is a sign of the times. I can "X" Big Lots of the store list I just don't step foot in anymore. :( ...

I've got a huge bag of potatoes I bought on sale a week or so ago. Have a feeling they will go bad before I have a chance to eat them all. Anyone have any ideas what I can do with them? ...

Well had the first cataract done today. In lots of pain today. I didn't know it would be this bad or I might have reconsidered having it done. Neighbor is putting my drops in though most people I talk with do it themselves. He was adamant. I hope I will be able to do it myself tomorrow. Please pray this pain goes away and the healing comes quickly. Anyway, the anesthesiologist prayed for me before we started. I appreciated that and was quite surprised. I hope I can drive myself p ...

Due to trying to save as much money as possible, everywhere possible, Ramen noodles have become a frequent meal in this household. Any cheap ideas to add variety to them? Yeah, yeah, I know they're not the healthiest meal in the world, but sometimes cheap trumps healthy. TIA! ...

FEDS VOW RETRIAL CHICAGO — A federal jury has found ex-Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich (blah-GOY'-uh-vich) guilty of one count of lying to federal agents, and the judge says he intends to declare a mistrial on the remaining counts. Prosecutors said Tuesday immediately after the jury reached its verdict that they intend to retry the case against Blagojevich as soon as possible. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is ...

I would love to raise some chickens but DH is against it. He hates them, says they're ugly, doesn't like eating chicken, and hates those "slimy eggs," hasn't eaten one in over 50 years, but I'm the opposite. Do you think I can convince him to let me raise a few? A few questions are: 1. How many chickens do you have? 2. If you live in northern states, do you insulate your coop to keep your chickens warm? 3. How many eggs per week do you get? 4 ...

Here's the talk: ♦ Treasury. The current White House chief of staff, Jack Lew, has the inside track to be named Treasury secretary to replace Tim Geithner. Another name floating around is Erskine Bowles, who was a White House chief of staff for former President Bill Clinton. ♦ Chief of staff. Names that have been mentioned to replace Lew (who followed Bill Daley who came after Rahm Emanuel) include senior adviser Valerie Jarrett. Jarrett also oversees the White House offices o ...

Didn't want my reply to get buried below. I have a lifetime of experience with Alaska, western Canada (Alberta, BC), and the Pacific Northwest (WA, OR, ID) - and youth spent in the midwest (MO, KS). There's one thing you definitely need to consider right off the bat that has to do with climate indirectly, and it affects a lot of people very negatively - which is the more extreme differences in daylight hours between summer and winter as you move further north. You don' ...

I'm writing in Jill Stein. I'm smart enough to see through Hillary's - pants suit. He told me for months Hillary

Her donations have jumped 1000% since Bernie's - betrayal.
