Robin,

What you're describing sounds familiar. We want you to share both good and bad here. That's what the forum is for. Hugs my dear!

Oh yes I know that... this is the place to vent.... I think that post is more for my own self exploration... cathartic I hope. Does anyone else see themselves this way?

I am so that way. I always put myself last. Always being nice and trying to help. I can really relate to what you are saying.

Default Teacher's pet....

You certainly helped with my double plurals! As for the whole dying thing, I have a different perspective. Comes from working in hospice and having the priviledge of witnessing many deaths. You can't live life while fearing death. Death will come when it comes. You have no control over it, even when you try suicide. I have watched people linger for days. Others die suddenly without warning. I have watched someone die and come back to life. Now, I'm not advocating that people go and stand in front of an oncoming semi to test my theory. There's always a risk of death in every choice you make. My question is more, what do I by gain by risking death and surviving it? As for the oncoming semi, surviving that death would mean you have a lot of broken bones and pain, some brain damage etc. I would not make that choice of stepping out in front of a semi. Risking the death of surgery has gained a whole new world for me.

I hope I used correct grammar, puncuation, spelling, and tone

Default I have wondered....

why did you chose "eyesthatkissu" for a handle? It's such a sensuous phrase.

Eyesthatkissu is my everything nickname. My husband gave it to me, years ago. He always said I had beautiful eyes and then one night we were out a bar, years ago. We weren't even married yet. The bartender was openly hitting on me right infront of my hubby. At one point the bartender leaned over the bar and said, "You have serious "f" me eyes..." he used the curse word and actually kind of growled..... the tool. My husband burst out laughing and said, "Fool... they can't be "f"ing you... they're kissing me!" Eyes that kiss you....... personally... I think kissing slimy eyeballs is kind of a gross visual... *snort*
