Haz1558 are you local to Ballymena ?

3:18 am

Haz1558

Yes - I've lived here for 24 years so an still considered a newcomer! I'm originally from Carrickfergus.

3:19 am

spangles

My grandfather was born in Clogh and my great granny lived in Ballymena for all of her 106 years.

3:20 am

Haz1558

Goodness - she had a good long life! Have you ever been across to the ancestral home?

3:20 am

P.J.

106 yrs. how wonderful!!!!

3:20 am

jean1953

good grief 106 thats amazing

3:22 am

spangles

I would love to come but unfortunately I've never made it. I would like one day to visit. You know it is really amazing that she lived such a long life. She died the year before I was born . She died in 1948.

3:23 am

Haz1558

That makes it even more amazing, as people didn't live so long in those days. I hope you do get the chance to visit, although the town has changed greatly even from the time that I have been here.

3:24 am

Haz1558

Do you happen to know where she is buried?

3:25 am

spangles

I've got maps and pictures of the area and it seems to be very beautiful.

3:25 am

lynxxx

Bye everyone - 50 left to find tomorrow. Spangles - and another co-incidence - Haz's beautiful dog's name is Spangle!

nite lyn :)

3:26 am

Haz1558

It is lovely, spangles - we tend to take our scenery too much for granted and it is only when visitors come that we see it through fresh eyes.

3:26 am

spangles

I think she was buried either at Cushendun or Cushendall I will have to look it up.

3:27 am

P.J.

nitelyn

3:28 am

Haz1558

They are both seaside villages, not that far from each other.

3:29 am

spangles

I am researching my family tree and the Irish records are proving to be very difficult. I do know that she lived at 25 William street where she had a boarding house.

3:31 am

Haz1558

William Street is still there, although some of the houses were knocked down to make way for a shopping centre. It is currently the street with the highest number of pubs in the town! I'll see whether 25 William Street is still standing. Irish records are difficult because of the Custom House fire in the 1920's when lots of records were destroyed.

Hadn't noticed that, haz. Now you've set me off looking for them.

3:46 am

Frances

On that thought Haz, why can't I have ca6/30y?

3:47 am

Haz1558

I know! They're very popular over here with farmers who like to load their plates!

3:47 am

hydra

or a ca7 word ending in y? I'm disgusted that it isn#t allowed. I went to one in a hotel just last week!

3:48 am

Frances

That was the one I meant hydra

3:48 am

hydra

Sorry!

Oh well, no use complaining, enable is deaf to criticism.

FMitch

Hi and Bye jean, Hi Frances and metal

Haz - no I haven't finished halted at 136

3:54 am

FMitch

Hi sherb too

3:55 am

FMitch

The mind boggles as to how many re's are going to be here today.

3:55 am

Haz1558

I'm a bit startled to find the dream (re6/33) spelt not as in the dictionary.

3:57 am

Haz1558

Maybe dream isn't the best definition - kind of pleasant mind wandering.

3:57 am

metaleather

it must be a UK/US thing... the spelling diff. that is

3:57 am

sherb

what Proust did...

3:57 am

Haz1558

For pages and pages and pages.....

3:58 am

sherb

amazing the effect a madeleine can have...

3:58 am

Haz1558

So is that the normal US spelling, metal?

3:58 am

Frances

Usually has ie on the end?

3:58 am

FMitch

hmmm not seeing that one

3:59 am

sherb

re + exceedingly

3:59 am

Haz1558

re plus a word meaning greatly/a lot. And yes, we normally spell it with an ie on the end.

3:59 am

FMitch

Ah got it

3:59 am

metaleather

it seems "normal" to me, but maybe it's like the pronunciation of caribbean.... one way stresses the rib and one the be

3:59 am

metaleather

but either is acceptable

4:00 am

metaleather

perhaps it's the same with the re spellings

4:01 am

FMitch

Haz your icon clue from yesterday is here again

4:02 am

Haz1558

I know - quantities of them!

4:02 am

Haz1558

No woman is safe with them around.

4:03 am

FMitch

Oh come on - if PeterS came up to you would you swoon into his arms? eeeww

4:03 am

Haz1558

Yo've found me out. I've always had a secret passion for him.

4:03 am

Frances

NO!!!!

4:04 am

sherb

Stringfellow is not so much a ro4, more a ruin....

4:04 am

Haz1558

Maybe I could be the one to change him - he just needs looking after. And a hair cut.

4:04 am

Frances

LOL sherb

4:04 am

FMitch

LOL sherb

4:05 am

metaleather

who?

4:05 am

metaleather

<----- lost

4:06 am

Haz1558

Google images for Peter Stringfellow. He is a night club owner (the night club is imaginatively named Stringfellows) and he is a bit of a cad.

4:06 am

Frances

......and I hope he's got rid of the thong by now Haz.

4:07 am

FMitch

A bit of a cad! I am getting worried about you Haz :)

4:07 am

metaleather

am googling now, but google is dragging it's feet

4:07 am

Haz1558

I used him yesterday as my icon to illustrate ro4/5. He could also have been a 'rake'.

4:08 am

Haz1558

I'm feeling generous, FMitch.

4:08 am

metaleather

he must be a "silver-tongued devil" and a charmer... his looks wouldn't get him far

4:08 am

Haz1558

Oh look, that god of love is here again. How appropriate.

4:09 am

Haz1558

metal - the whole country is at a loss to understand Peter Stringfellow and the women who throw themselves at him.

4:09 am

sherb

it must be his charm... or his money... cos it's certainly not his looks...

4:09 am

Frances

I guess money speaks volumes Haz

4:09 am

metaleather

maybe he has ummmmm "talents" or "skills" we won't mention in public

4:10 am

FMitch

Maybe he is a good ca8/45

4:10 am

metaleather

and tons of money is usually pheromone laden, isn't it?

4:10 am

Haz1558

It's not even as though he has 'power' like John Prescott.

4:11 am

Frances

Don't go there Haz!!!!

4:11 am

Haz1558

I couldn't resist.

4:11 am

*smacks monkey for misspelling

4:11 am

You cheeky chapess

4:13 am

We'll have no cruelty to animals here ML

OK

4:17 am

Biltong

Haz1558

The singular form (not accepted by enable) seems to mean a series of celtic languages, but I can't find a meaning for the plural form er5/10. I'll still have to think of it as poetry gone wrong.

4:39 am

Wolvie

5:52 am

metaleather

I should have turned the tv to Univison a long time ago... the music show is helping the lag problem and the brain fry as well

5:53 am

metaleather

not to mention, the chair dancing is fun

5:53 am

Wolvie

LOL

5:54 am

Andree

musical chairs metal?

5:54 am

metaleather

*girns innocently, or perhaps that's wickedly.....*

nope, not the chairs, but the music makes ya dance whether yer sitting or not, and all from the waist down

5:56 am

metaleather

*grins, not girns

6:06 am

Wolvie

clue for the ca 6/21 before your chose job? I have all the other ca 6's but that - all the ca's but that

6:07 am

Wolvie

*chosen

6:07 am

Haz1558

Add a different consonant to the end. I think it means to have a boozy time.

6:08 am

Eggcorn

ca - change the last consonant ... means to bounce off

6:08 am

Haz1558

No - it's to do with vehicles leaning over.

6:08 am

sunny09

is it the one to go madly down a hillside?

6:08 am

Wolvie

thanks haz - for some reason I didn't think they joined. Le sigh

6:08 am

Wolvie

that's it sunny - thanks

6:08 am

Haz1558

Yes, I was confusing it with carousing!

6:08 am

metaleather

to tip or veer from vertical

6:08 am

caitlyn

Afternoon all...........

6:08 am

Wolvie

hi caitlyn

6:08 am

metaleather

that's the one sunny, the mad motion

6:09 am

metal said a word

6:09 am

metaleather

hi caitlyn

6:09 am

Haz1558

Hello caitlyn.

6:09 am

metaleather

dang it, did it again
sorry

6:09 am

metaleather

dang it, did it again

6:09 am

Andree

hi cait

6:10 am

sunny09

hi caitlyn

6:10 am

caitlyn

I know the icon theme today is for faerie ..any news on her mum?

6:11 am

Haz1558

I haven't heard anything since yesterday - she was deteriorating.

6:12 am

caitlyn

Thanks Haz

6:12 am

Wolvie

oh - I didn't know the theme - brb

6:13 am

metaleather

I was wondering about faerie's mother... I knew she was sick, but didn't know in what manner

6:14 am

caitlyn

She was saying the other night that it is just a matter of time..poor faerie

6:15 am

Haz1558

She is very elderly and had been suffering from dementia/Alzheimer's. She has been in hospital, in a fair degree of pain, but I'm not sure from what condition. It's heartbreaking for them to have to watch her.

6:16 am

Wolvie

I'm so sorry for faerie - it's sad

6:17 am

metaleather

as hard as it was to lose Mama so quickly, I"m glad she didn't linger as some do

6:17 am

metaleather

I don't think I'd have had the strength to do what faerie is doing

6:19 am

caitlyn

I nursed my dad through brain cancer he was so brave and aware of what was happening until the last day,,he was so dignified about it that it helped us get through

6:19 am

Andree

my dad was the same cait, when my time comes I want to be as brave as he was

6:19 am

Wolvie

very similar here, cait - although it started as lung cancer for my Dad that spread to his liver and brain

6:20 am

Wolvie

I hope I can have as much dignity and grace as my Dad did as well, andree

6:20 am

metaleather

Daddy had cancer also, colon cancer, but he died of heart and lung failure before the cancer could advance to any extreme degree

6:21 am

caitlyn

Its so sad that so many of us have been through the same ..thats another bond we all have

6:22 am

metaleather

true cait.

so many, more every day it seems, are diagnosed with cancer... almost everyone I know has either had it or has lost someone to it

6:22 am

Andree

my dad started with prostate cancer, more deaths from prostate cancer than breast cancer, yet it is largely ignored

6:23 am

metaleather

almost no publicity for it, no fund raising, correct?

6:23 am

metaleather

almost no publicity for it, no fund raising, correct?

6:23 am

caitlyn

I dont think that enough is done to highlite prostate cancer Andree

6:24 am

Andree

get all your men to get regular checkups, it only takes a few minutes

6:24 am

Wolvie

I see commercials for men's heath a lot on the tube here, they are talking about prostate cancers and other illnesses. A good thing, I think

6:24 am

metaleather

a lot of it has to do with men's attitudes about getting tested, almost as if it's not manly to take precautions

6:25 am

Andree

such a difference if cancer is detected early, whatever kind

6:26 am

Wolvie

amen to that, andree

6:29 am

Andree

my only real fear about death is having one of my children go before I do

6:29 am

caitlyn

Oh Andree I fear the same thing

6:30 am

Wolvie

that would be the worst

6:31 am

metaleather

not having children, I don't share that fear, but I do fear watching another loved one, especially my dear sweetheart/spousal equivalent/life mate/boyfriend/other suitable euphemism

6:31 am

caitlyn

Okay gang lets cheer up now!!

faeriekae

Thanks Scatty I'm doing my best

6:44 am

Merk

Well the 'ca' ended up being so easy, all just building on one another. So I must dread the upcoming 're' group?

6:44 am

scatty

my sister was told she had cancer when she was trying to have a baby and my mum was told a couple of months before lou died, so we were in a bit of a roller coaster for about four years watching one then the other suffer

6:44 am

caitlyn

Yes Merk

6:47 am

Wolvie

clue for the re 7/40 right after to grab again?

6:47 am

Merk

I had my two 6's switched around and it put me on the wrong path.

6:47 am

scatty

cait, it didn't help that when my sister died my husband was in the war zone and the RAF wouldn't let him come back as it was my sister and not his family that had died

6:48 am

Merk

Groan ... I'm missing a ce 4 and a ce 5.

7:32 am

Andree

plural 4/5 before it merk

7:32 am

Merk

Frustrating when you know it's right in front of your face.

7:33 am

Merk

I had some out of order. Are there odd ce 4?

7:34 am

Andree

with one change vowel and plural, sounds like a brand of salt

7:34 am

Merk

A salt we would have here though?

7:35 am

chiley

I have 3 li's...are there more?

7:35 am

Merk

I think it is the third 4,5 I am missing.

7:35 am

pam

ok, getting anxious, see you all later

7:35 am

Andree

ignore salt, try changing vowel on other 4/5

7:36 am

7:44 am

Dorens

Oh, nut I am sorry. That is tough, I know. You have my sympathy and support... (I'm a redhead, and very likely to develop it .. have had lots of little thingies removed over the years, and am always vigilant)

7:44 am

Fishbulb

morning everyone :)

7:44 am

good girl dorens, no sympathy necessary

cold, rainy, VERY windy here. good day to snuggle with kitties.

we're having some MAJOR rain here... definirely a day to stay home and not feel guilty about it. night andrÃ©e

7:48 am

brady boo is great! going through a serious teething stage, chewing on everything.

7:49 am

faeriekae

Thanks Andree {{{{XOXO}}}}

7:50 am

evanonut

when my stnker bug was there, i don't know what he managed to chew on, but he only has half a fang now...he looks like bucky from get fuzzy.

7:51 am

pam

It is raining here in Boston, too, dorens, but not the downpours that are coming...

7:52 am

cliffopa

do you think cats know when they look goofy?

7:52 am

Dorens

I didn't realize you were in Boston, Pam. Both my sons and sister live in Cambridge, and I go up there once a month

7:53 am

pam

So you know the area well, Dorens! Yep, i am here in Boston...

7:55 am

Dorens

well, that's good. at least you are in a place where there is lots of stuff happening, places to go, things to do. When you are ready, you have lots of opportunities to distract yourself

7:56 am

pam

LOLOL--the key is when I am ready, i think. Today, my ex is moving out (I am at friends') and I am not really distractable...

7:56 am

Tiny

Good Evening Everyone

7:57 am

pam

But, i hope to become more engaged...

7:57 am

Hi, Tiny!

7:57 am

Tiny

Hey faeriekae

7:58 am

Charm

Hi, Tiny

7:58 am

pam

Part of me feels badly talking about my situation here, but the support and sharing has really, really helped

7:58 am

evanonut

cliffee...i don't think the cats have a clue

7:59 am

evanonut

why should you feel bad pam????

7:59 am

Tiny

hi Charm and eva

8:00 am

Dorens

Pam, we need a break from the grid, honestly, and we are all here for each other. that's part of what makes this place so awesome....brain challenge, and frienship all in one!

8:00 am

pam

nut--because this is babble and a babble chat, not cyber dear abby, or cyber therapy...

8:00 am

pam

THANKS, Dorens!

8:01 am

evanonut

last time checked, good deal of us share our lives and problems in here...it's a good place to do it...and no one judges in here.

8:01 am

Dorens

sometimes jokes and silliniess (NUT), sometimes baseball play-by-play, sometimes therapy. it's our place to do what we want, and anyone who doesn't like it can ignore it and babble away.

8:01 am

Tiny

Soo True

8:01 am

pam

true enough....

8:01 am

evanonut

*pretending i didn't see sillines*

8:02 am

Dorens

you DON"t see it, you just embody it!!! you are silliness personified.

8:02 am

cliffopa

babblers are the best therapists. very low cost, very supportive.

8:02 am

evanonut

(i cant here dorens...la la la)

8:02 am

pam

lolol, dorens!!!!!

8:03 am

pam

cliff--so I have discovered....

8:03 am

evanonut

and of course to trolls too, don't forget the trolls...they're so cute

8:03 am

Dorens

nut can't see, nut can't hear....

8:03 am

Tiny

Well maybe you can all give me some advice then

8:04 am

Dorens

shoot! (and we'll let Pam give the advice)

8:04 am

evanonut

i'm good at bad advice

8:04 am

pam

I don't know that I am worthy, Dorens...

8:05 am

Dorens

comoe on now, Pam sure you can do this. But maybe we should here what Tiny needs advice on????

8:05 am

chiley

I need help with ne6/18...

8:05 am

Tiny

My doctor has told me to go away on my own for a few days to have a break from problems at home but my husband says I am not allowed to go by myself if I take someone with me I will not be alone so doesnt that defeat the purpose and how do I handle it

8:05 am

Fishbulb

ne/6 18 is more of the ne4/4

8:06 am

evanonut

tell him you're taking someone with you, get them to pretend to disappear...voila!

8:06 am

chiley

Oh dear...please pass the coffee

8:06 am

Fishbulb

closer would perhaps be a better description chiley :)

8:06 am

pam

"not allowed?" as in forbidden???

8:07 am

evanonut

i assume this is concern on his part for your well being...other wise i have a new set of advice

8:07 am

evanonut

i assume this is concern on his part for your well being...other wise i have a new set of advice

8:07 am

Tiny

but he knows all my friends can not go with me I feel like I am a Prisoner

8:07 am

Tiny

Yes Pam

8:07 am

Dorens

i think Pam is on the right track here. why are you forbidden?

8:07 am

evanonut

okay...new set of advice, kick him in the nuts and get in the car.

8:07 am

Dorens

ROFL, nut

8:08 am

Sudokuaddict

i say go anyway and don't tell him where

8:08 am

Tiny

I am not sure eva but he keeps saying it is not right for me to go by myself

8:08 am

pam

Is he Jealous?

8:08 am

evanonut

one last question, does he go away by himself?

8:09 am

Dorens

we all think it is right, your DOCTOR thinks that it is right, where is he getting his rules from?

8:09 am

cliffopa

when i need a break from my hubby, i ask him to go away. i like staying home alone with my menagerie.

8:09 am

Tiny

Hes got no reason we have been happily married for 27 years

8:09 am

evanonut

last i checked australia was a free country

8:09 am

Tiny

no eva but he goes out on his bike anytime he like and I have to stay here

8:10 am

Sudokuaddict

i mean call later to let him know you are okay but get away for the time you need a little alone never hurt anyone

8:10 am

evanonut

you go away tiny, pay with cash, have a nice break

8:11 am

Sudokuaddict

yes take care of yourself after 27 years he will get over it

8:11 am

Dorens

you are definitely getting clear unanimous advice here. Tiny.

8:11 am

chiley

Without knowing a lot about your specific situation, I would think that perhaps he feels it isn't safe for you to be alone. If your problems are great enough that you need to get away, perhaps he fears what you will do when you're alone

8:11 am

evanonut

go somewhere where they give massages!

8:11 am

Tiny

I just feel like taking of but know how he will react when I get home He even went to ask one of our Pastors if he thinks it is right

8:11 am

evanonut

AND get a manicure

8:12 am

Dorens

and pedicure

8:12 am

pam

are you safe at home, Tiny?

8:12 am

jimmack

Go and see the Pastor yourself and find out what he suggests.

8:12 am

pam

And, I like the idea of a day away--tell him you are pampering yourself--hair, nails, the works....

8:12 am

Sudokuaddict

who cares what the pastor thinks is he your doctor usually doctors don't say things like that unless they feel that is what is needed you aren't going to hurt yourself right?

8:13 am

Tiny

I have a violent son who used to hit me all the time and a daughter who has ADHD and sometimes I get afraid when my son starts to get angry

8:13 am

Dorens

how old is your son?

8:13 am

pam

Oh, Tiny, i am sorry.... you need a day away... let your husband stay at home...

8:13 am

Tiny

I have also had a heart attack and my doctor seems to think it is the stress at home

8:14 am

evanonut

what if you compromise to you and a girlfriend taking an all nighter to a day spa, most of the time will be quiet and alone then anyway

8:14 am

Tiny

my son is now 22 and has been back home for 5 weeks

8:14 am

Dorens

I dodn't mean to sound cruel, but if he is that old and violent, do you really need him in your home?

8:15 am

Sudokuaddict

go tiny pamper, take care, be free from stress why does your husband let your son hit you

8:15 am

Tiny

I have tried all ways to get him to let me go but he says it depends on what the pastor says is right

8:16 am

evanonut

tiny, the pastor is human, and is hearing his side of the story, and you are a free woman.

8:16 am

evanonut

you've given 22 years to your son, give yourself a day

8:16 am

Sudokuaddict

and they ran, ran so far away at least for a day or two to keep you sanity

8:17 am

Tiny

I have tried to give the Pastor my side but he says he has to pray about it

8:17 am

cliffopa

maybe the pastor knows of some religious retreat you could go to. you might not be completely alone - but it might also be a good compromise.

8:17 am

Charm

my two cents: he knows the pastor is going to side with him. so if the pastor says not to go, someone else takes the blame for what he wants.

8:17 am

Dorens

Tiny if you don't take care of yourself, you have nothing to give to those you love

8:17 am

jimmack

I agree with Charm.

8:17 am

Dorens

right on, Charm. Tiny tell him you listen to your doctor, it's your health here

8:18 am

Sudokuaddict

tell him you are going to buy a bike maybe he will understand that then do what you want

8:18 am

evanonut

tiny...you DESERVE a break

8:18 am

Anniebrook

tiny, I just got on and decided to read the log and saw your situation...i am sorry about your son, it sounds like he was living elsewhere and now he is home...will he be returning to where he lived or is he home permanently ..then the situation is the same when you return...

8:18 am

hurshy

tiny... if your husband controls what you do, where you go and don't go, that is a form of spousal abuse.

8:19 am

evanonut

spot on hurshy

8:19 am

Tiny

I know but I am stuck in the middle the doctor keeps asking when I am going away

8:19 am

pam

yes, hurshy, spot on

8:19 am

pam

can the doctor talk to your husband, or would you feel violated by that?

8:19 am

jimmack

Can the doctor speak to your husband?

8:20 am

Dorens

I believe that medical advice trumps pastoral advice!!

8:20 am

evanonut

i don't know about you guys, but when i told my hubby i wanted to take a trip alone, he fully endorsed it.

8:20 am

hurshy

tiny - i have been in the church all my life, so i know, religion is often used as an excuse for inappropriate behavior on the part of a husband, and is often backed up by pastors. this is not right.

8:20 am

pam

Where would you go? Let your pastor know your destination,...

8:20 am

Charm

can the doctor speak with the pastor? and impress on him how important the rest is?

8:20 am

Tiny

the doctor says she is going to speak to him

8:20 am

sherb

Tiny - what's stopping you going away? ...how will your husband react when you get back?

8:21 am

Sudokuaddict

i say go and ask forgiveness later he isn't going to leave after 27 years after something that small maybe he needs to talk to your doctor instead of the pastor

8:21 am

Charm

forgiveness for what? Tiny isn't contemplating breaking one of thecommandments, is she?

8:22 am

Sudokuaddict

it sounds to me like your health is serious enough you could say a day away or six feet under what is your choice because mine is not to be killed by stress

8:22 am

evanonut

tiny, do you feel you deserve a break?

8:22 am

Anniebrook

Tiny, the doctor trumps the pastor...have the doctor speak to your husband...what I dont understand is how going away (and I think you need the break) is going to solve the situation

8:22 am

Tiny

be very angry and probably yell and scream a bit I am praying he will have to go to the doctors so she can tell him she has requested it

8:22 am

emusing

hi, everyone, i have been reading the log

8:23 am

hurshy

and, tiny - if your husband is treating you this badly, it is not good for HIM any more than it is for you. i believe that in cases of abuse, separation is usually necessary. have you considered that?

8:23 am

Tiny

I just feel I need some time out of it all to get some new perspective

8:23 am

emusing

tiny, it sounds like your pastor hs a way lot of conrol over your family!

8:23 am

evanonut

awaits emusings imput

8:23 am

Sudokuaddict

no i meant better to go if the husband is upset ask for forgiveness then not that i think she needs to be forgiven but sometimes husbands can make life he??

8:24 am

emusing

nut, i have no magic response, except that some pastors overstep (in my opinonO their boundaries and enter way too much in family functioning

8:25 am

Tiny

I know what you are saying hurshy and that is what the doctor said but I takemy wedding vows as sacred and she said it says in the good times and the bad not the bad and the bad

8:25 am

Anniebrook

Tiny, you are not chattel...if you need a break, you need a break, anger and screaming is not an option on his part, have the doctor make it very clear you must get away

8:25 am

sherb

Tiny - you need to get away... you may have been married for 27 years, but this doesn't sound like a happy situation anymore... your husband should care about your health enough to see that you need a break...

8:26 am

Sudokuaddict

your husband doesn't know how much better it will be if you get a break take one and try to relax a new perspective is always good when trying to solve problems

8:26 am

evanonut

she's right tiny...but that honor and obey part ought to fly right out the window in my opion. honor, yes...obey HELL no

8:26 am

Tiny

yes she told me when he goes to see her she will set him straight

8:26 am

emusing

tiny, is there a women's shelter/center that you can go to get information/advice?

8:27 am

Tiny

I dont really think I want to go to a womans shelter

8:27 am

emusing

not to stay but to get information

8:27 am

hurshy

tiny - here is my perspective, as a Christian. you vowed to love your husband through good times and bad. what does that mean exactly? well, to love someone means to do what is in their best interests. it is NOT in his best interests to be allowed to be arrogant, controlling, and verbally abusive. this is sinful and hurting his relationship with God - and nothing is more important than that. so, if you continue to live with him, you might actually be facilitating that. i think that your vows are sacred, and that the way to honor them, in abuse cases, is separation (not divorce).

8:28 am

Anniebrook

In my religion the health of the mother is uppermost....you dont need permission from the pastor to get away for a few days...again, have the doctor speak to your husband and have her stress that you need SUPPORT..

8:28 am

evanonut

Tiny, do you really think God wants you to be afraid of your husband or wants him to yell and tirade at you.

8:28 am

cliffopa

amen hurshy

8:28 am

Tiny

as for the pastor he is really nice and he does know what I have been going through but I think he might say yes to go but not on my own

8:28 am

sherb

well said hurshy

8:29 am

Sudokuaddict

do you have a cell phone no one is alone if they have a cell phone

8:29 am

evanonut

one more thing on the not alone thing, sometimes having a girlfriend there to talk to is worth a million bucks

Tiny - God does take care of us we just have to listen to his voice and you need to get away. go to someone you love a family member a fellow church member...a friend but please for your own health and well being you need to get out

8:30 am

Tiny

I agree but all my friends are tied up with family and work themselves

8:30 am

evanonut

perfect tiny, then you'll be ALONE during the day

8:30 am

Anniebrook

I dont understand, what does the pastor have to do with your going away....

8:31 am

hurshy

i'm sure someone will be willing to help you! i would be!

8:31 am

Sudokuaddict

yeah nutty! especially if they know when to be quiet I think the spa thing sounds great some pampering some peace a new woman will return

8:31 am

sherb

Tiny - what is the main thing stopping you going away?

8:31 am

evanonut

with great hair and nails

8:32 am

Tiny

I know but you are over there and I am over here it is a long way apart but I thank you all for listening sometimes I feel so alone

8:32 am

faeriekae

exactly Nutty

8:32 am

pam

bbl.....

8:32 am

evanonut

okay tiny, are you near any other aussie babblers?

8:32 am

faeriekae

I just went and had my nails done a couple days ago and it made me feel better :)

8:32 am

faeriekae

Later Pam

8:32 am

hurshy

what i'm saying, though, tiny, is that if we would be willing to help, probably people near you would too. i think almost anyone would be willing to help someone in your situation. if i had a friend in your situation i would take them into my home in a heartbeat.

8:32 am

Tiny

It sounds great and I just dont want to go against his wishes but feel I need this

8:34 am

Tiny

I dont know any of the aussie babblers

8:34 am

evanonut

he's human tiny, his wishes are incorrect

8:34 am

Sudokuaddict

you have to take care of yourself no one will take care of you but you i learned that in therapy

8:34 am

Anniebrook

A spa sounds wonderful...you can be alone in a calming place...and you can call your husband and he can call you...and get a manicure and pedicure and marvelous massages and if I were you I would go...what is he going to do, divorce you because you needed a break...dont think so! If I were there I would go with you

8:34 am

emusing

sudoku, you had a good therapist!

8:34 am

hurshy

have you actually asked any of your friends if they would be willing to help you, tiny? or are you just assuming they are too busy? i bet if you ask you will be pleasantly surprised.

8:34 am

Sudokuaddict

also you can't take care of others if you don't take care of yourself

8:34 am

faeriekae

Thats exactly correct Sudakuaddict

8:35 am

Charm

if he really cared for you and had you health and best interests at heart, he will let you take a break. this kind of control is not love or caring by any stretch. and I would say contravenes your vows.

8:35 am

Tiny

You know if my friends ring up he keeps on at me all the time to get off the phone but whenhis friends ring I am not allowed to say a word

8:35 am

shorty

been there Tiny

8:36 am

evanonut

okay tiny, i'm becoming more and more convinced that he is just controlling and abusive,...sorry for saying that

8:36 am

faeriekae

No Shorty you ARE there

8:36 am

Tiny

It is just so hard sometimes

8:36 am

Sudokuaddict

i think he is afraid you won't come back when you find out how nice it is to not be controlled maybe he needs to talk to the pastor about control issues or does your pastor do counseling like that

8:36 am

hurshy

tiny, it sounds like you don't need just a brief respite, really, you need a separation. for his sake as well as yours.

8:37 am

Scrabbler

Good morning Babblers. I have read the recent conversation here and Tiny I am very concerned for you and wish I could help more directly, as I am sure we all do. Think of your options carefully.

8:37 am

sherb

Tiny - there is no easy way to do this... in the end, only you can make this decision... you don't need your husband's permission... or your pastor's... or your doctor's... or ours... just do what you want to do...

8:37 am

evanonut

do you still love him tiny??

8:37 am

Tiny

Yes I do

8:37 am

evanonut

Biltong

In that order Scrabbler?

9:19 am

and, you know, scrabbler, et al., I am sad, but not miserably so, and hurt, but not isolating and wailing... it's just hard to deal with the changes all at once, especially since they were made without my input...

Acceptance means to stop fighting against that which you cannot change. Accept what you can and cannot control. You CAN control your thinking and your actions.

I suffer from severe depression. I have just been through a really bad phase. Sometimes people don't understand depression.

The Black Monster that sucks you into the Black Hole. Dreadful!

are you on any medication, biltong? zoloft is helping me as well.

Yes, I am on citalopram and have just been put on an additional one, which I take at night. I am not even sure what the new one is called, as my husband has control of it.

9:30 am

Thank you for mentioning medication. You reminded me that I had forgotten to take mine this morning.

9:30 am

But you sasy you have just been through a bad phase, indicating that it is over?

I already took mine

could i get a clue for the very first mo6? i know the first four letters but still can't get it. (coffee....)

9:31 am

orionova

Biltong, did you watch Stephen Fry's docu on manic depression?

9:31 am

Dorens

not really ssurprising....depression is so much more widespread than you realize, and babblers seem to be more aware

9:32 am

Charm

mo6/21 = sounds like an Irish lass' name.

9:32 am

hurshy

harp - is there one before the teeny bite then?

9:32 am

emusing

dpression is the #1 mental health problem and it is undertreated

9:32 am

Biltong

TO, that is why I wasn't sure how many babblers would actually understand. I should have known better, though.

9:32 am

gotta run BBL bye babbleland

9:32 am

got it in one.

9:32 am

sherb

yay! ...my last M... :)

9:32 am

ch1212

Bittong, I struggled for years to accept the medical definition. I thought if I had enough counseling, exercise, ate right, prayed hard enough, read the right book, found the right counselor, and so on that it would end. After being part of a six month Lily drug study on severe depression, I finally accepted that for me, it takes medication in addition to the counseling, exercise, diet, etc.

9:32 am

orionova

f&%! Sorry.

9:32 am

harpjane

yes, there's one before the teeny bite

9:32 am

Dorens

babblers are the bestest!

9:33 am

Biltong

no, orianova?

9:33 am

harpjane

ch12 you have depression

9:33 am

harpjane

me too

9:33 am

pam

bye, shorty

9:34 am

orionova

Biltong, it was excellant. I sat there watching it, going 'yes, that's me. That's me. Yes, that's me, too'.

9:34 am

Biltong

Yes, I have counselling too. I have come to the conclusion that depression is a life long illness, but like sugar diabetes and other illnesses, with the correct treatment, etc. it can be controlled and you CAN live a normal life.

9:34 am

ch1212

yes, harpjane -- lifelong, since I was a young child. I was explaining that I fought against the medication for years before finally accepting that for me, it's part of what I need to do to cope.

9:34 am

harpjane

the worst part is well meaning friends and pastors who think you just need an attitude adjustment. nobody tells a diabetic to "just praise god more and your pancreas will start making insulin" but they expect us to get serontonin by looking at the sunny side....

9:35 am

harpjane

ok I'm done ranting

9:35 am

orionova

Harpjane, I could rant on that for ages, myself.

9:35 am

Uneaixoise

biltong, the tendency can also be inherited--definitely so in my case

9:35 am

Biltong

This is fantastic. At last, a whole bunch of people who understnd me.

9:35 am

chiley

Help please with the 1st se4/5...I know I'll feel dumb

9:36 am

ch1212

One thing that turned the tide for me was a friend who is a counselor, who said, "I don't know anyone who works harder to recover and be self aware and do the work it takes... and if there is anyone I've met who fits the clinical description, it's you." That shook me up enough to rethink some of my assumptions about the disease.

9:36 am

Uneaixoise

se4/5 parts of a minute

9:36 am

Biltong

Yes, Une. My mom had shock treatment when she was younger and my daughter has it too. In fact, she was released from hospital just last week.

9:36 am

harpjane

in the middle of my rant did I miss a clue for mo6? I have the teeny bite and the thing that grows on the north side of trees. What's the first one!

9:37 am

harpjane

exercise is the key for me. and a better diet would help but i'm too much of a wimp for that...

9:37 am

hurshy

it is odd how for some people, like me and my dad, it's just sort of a lifelong tendency to be sadder than other people. whereas my mom was fine until about 6 years ago, and was then thrown into a major depression. it's got worse and worse, she didn't want meds for a long time... now she's on meds, but her psychiatrist is willing to prescribe them without making her get therapy...

9:37 am

chiley

one who gathers the flat green stuff

9:37 am

Charm

orionova gave it....

9:37 am

ch1212

harp, mo6 sounds like an Irish lasses' name, according to an earlier clue

9:37 am

Uneaixoise

exercise is THE solution for my daughter, thank god--she won't take medication

9:37 am

harpjane

have that one chiley

9:37 am

72 Temple Owl

i went for years - now i surmise it was hormonal began after miscarriage

9:38 am

pam

I think, ch1212, that being in touch with one's feelings is essential, even as other therapy modalities are used...

9:38 am

Biltong

Anyway, thank you babblers. It really really is reassuring to know there are people who understand and to those babblers who also have it, just hang in there :)

9:39 am

Glad that you got some comfort here, biltong!!!!!

9:39 am

9:39 am

Dorens

see Pam, and you felt bad before about sharing your problems? this is a great place for it

9:39 am

ch1212

It's true there is a definite difference between 'situational' depression and clinical. This year has been a struggle with both, since I lost my dad in January, left a job, moved 2500 miles.... so some of this is perfectly "normal" at the moment.

9:39 am

sherb

time for tea break... {{{{{{hugs}}}}}} for Bil :)

9:39 am

orionova

It's difficult, since there is still so much of a stigma about it. It really does help to know that there are others out there who know what you are going through.

9:39 am

Uneaixoise

harp, do you have the one that rhymes with Ms Sullivan, actress who starred in 1950s films?

9:40 am

Uneaixoise

O'Sullivan

9:40 am

ch1212

oh, good clue, une!! Thanks!

9:40 am

there is something to that, ch1212, and it sounds like you have been undergoing a lot of changes, and maybe the stress with that...

9:40 am

Uneaixoise

:-D

9:40 am

Biltong

Yes, ch1212. It is probably normal given your circumstances, but do take care and work your way through the issues, before they manifest.

9:40 am

hurshy

sometimes i think we perpetuate the stigma by feeling ashamed. i just treat it matter-of-factly and have no problem telling anyone i'm on zoloft, and they seem to accept it just fine.

9:40 am

harpjane

that was it, thanks!

9:41 am

harpjane

holy 8888 look at all those RE's! Now THAT's depressing!

9:41 am

Good point, hurshy

Scrabbler

Dr God puked E's all over the grid.

9:41 am

Hurshy, I have no problem talking about it, either, but some people tend to recoil when you casually mention you're taking lithium. Bipolar isn't catching, for goodness sake!

The thing is, all I am being told is consistent...so, it is that much easier to listen....

sorry all, I stepped away. Scrabbler, I am a vocalist. Used to sing high soprano range, but now can barely manage the C two above middle C. The boys, of course, play multiple instruments; and I have enjoyed dinking around with instruments as well. My hidden passion is historical musicology though I have let it slide for a decade; pre-baroque European music is my primary interest.

4:50 pm
