Thank you Bill. My poetry is verified and up over on the blue. They are for my boys. I hope of you get a moment and are inclined to check out the blue side you'll look at them as well.
Welcome back Bill. I'll take some hot tea please. Happy Tuesday my friends. My first of two poems is waiting on the mods over on blue. My comp story is also coming along very nicely. Hope y'all have a great day.
Friendly kiss above and looking below
Almost dinner time here on the east. Will join Lilly and Hannah with a Hannah as well. I am posting a couple poems on the blue side of anyone will be interested to read them. Tonight after the youngen goes home I can work some more on my comp story. Looking forward to reading some great things from the regulars here I hope.
Good morning and happy Monday. I'll have some hot tea please. I hope everyone is writing something for the new comp. It is for such a great cause. I am about halfway through my story.
On a sad note my poor doggy has been fighting Cancer for over a year and I think she is giving up now. We are going to be talking with the boys about having her put to sleep. We've had her since she was old enough to leave her mom and she is eleven years so she grew with them. This is a hard decision.
Congratulations to someone who truly deserves this award. You're awesome Jwren. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you to everyone that is showing support here, hugs to all the survivors (I believe we are survivors not victims) and a huge thank you to burquette and Rachel for this thread.
I am making dinner after a long day.
It's Friday night and I have a cold so I'll take a shot of Apple pie and a beer please. Hope everyone has an amazing weekend. We just went and picked up the new truck for my boy. He's excited like any 17 yo would be. It's another Chevy squarebody so I must say I trust it. As I've been told I cannot wrap him in a bubble I will just wait for the texts that he is safe.
#me too
I've talked about this in project semicolon and will share with you here. I talk about what happened to me to anyone that wants to listen because I want them to know I will listen and i will believe them.
The first time I can remember I was about 7 years old and I had no clue what was going on. I had a blind fold on and was "playing a game" what I know now is I was giving this person a blow job and in between he would put pepperoni in my mouth and tell me to bite down. I had no idea what was going on I trusted this person. This abuse went on until I was 18. When I was about 12 years old I told my mom and as he said my mom didn't believe me. This was my stepdad and I trusted him and loved him. He took my virginity when I was about 10. At that time I had to move out and live with a friend for awhile. Everyone made me feel like it was my fault. I lived with him until I joined the navy and then again when I came home.
His father started his abuse a bit different. He would play porn when I would sleep at his house. I was so young and he would play it when no-one was around. Later he would stand in Windows and jerk off while I was playing on the jungle gym in the yard coming out of the shadows when he knew i could see him. He would touch me and play with my breasts then later take me to toys r is to buy a new Barbie. If I told everyone would fight and no-one would talk to me. He died when I was 12 I was physically free from him but the emotional scars last forever.
I was an over developed teen as in when I was 10 I could pass for 21. I was one of those girls who went from training bra to a c-cup. guys would whistle, honk, stop me on the street every time I walked past. I would hate having to walk to the store for my mom because these guys would sit on their porch and watch. I stopped telling my mom things when she didn't believe me.
My first consensual sex was with a guy who only wanted to use me. After that I would look for me and ask me for a blow job when I refused he called me a slut and whore.
My husband thinks it's foreplay to grab my chest in front of people. He does it in front of my kids and friends. I don't say a word anymore. My silence doesn't mean I like it just that I've been beaten down by everyone I've ever trusted in my life. I've been to counseling as well as tried to take my own life to forget this but it doesn't go away. I don't think about it but it pops up when I least expect it. A smell, a sound, a touch I can be right back there. I hope speaking out, telling people about it let's them know don't stop telling find someone who will listen. I wish I did.
That my son is alive and only slightly banged up after such a horrific ordeal.
I'm so happy your kitty is safe and home Gil. Give her a drink on me please.
Thank you everyone. I'm still a bit shaken from the ordeal but very happy it's not worse. I appreciate all of your kind comments. He is doing well. A bit bruised and upset about his truck. He just finished building it less than a month ago. I paid for it and put all the labor into it.
I'll some tea with a splash of a little something to help numb my throat.
Good morning my friends today I am saying please hug those you care about and tell them you love them. You never know what can happen in an instant. I almost lost my boy tonight, thankfully something kept him safe. He swerved to miss a deer and ended up wrapping his truck around a tree. Somehow he walked away. If you saw that truck you would not believe it. Sending each of you a hug to start your day or end it depending on where you are.
I'll take some strong coffee please.
"The Mondays" is that what this is. After a stressful day at my son's race yesterday I am feeling it for sure. When he started out doing 8 minute laps then all of a sudden you don't see him for over a half hour a mom knows something is wrong. I was just beginning to relax at these harescrambles to. I'll have a Hannah please. Need to take the edge off to finish this day.
My list was a bit different too but like above mine was there as well so eh what do I know. Congrats to Mike and burquette and Bill and Phil and the rest of the top finishers. I'm at the harescramble today I'll take some coffee for a long damp day here.
Congratulations to all the winners, runners up and everyone who entered. There is always so many amazing stories in the comps. I could never be able to pick a winner. There are many great authors here.
Good afternoon friends. Hope everyone is having a wonderful Saturday. I'll join the crowd with a drink. Whatcha got Bill? Add a shot of tequila on the side, please
Congratulations to a great lady. You deserve this.
Last weekend I saw
Halestorm
Mastadon
Five Finger Death Punch
Rob Zombie
At Rock Allegiance Tour
Do you have aomething strong enough to numb the pain I am in. My little one thought it would be great to jump on mommy. She is too young to understand that my back is not so great.
Hope Gil's kitty has found their way home.
Hi Sara hope all is well.
Thank you G for the drink your a great friend.
Buz almost the weekend for some football. Since my team just sucks this year I'm not following much and unsure who is playing tonight in the NFL although I did see the Yankees are moving on in baseball. I prefer the other NY team.
Verbal I do hope LJ's kitty is doing better.
Sprite, VG, Seeker, Bill, Phil, Hannah, Larry, Shameless, and all the rest of the regulars I hope all is well.
Coffee or tea I like both and always nice way to meet new people.
