Daily Whine & Shine - Thursday, March 19, 2009
by Marilyn Mackenzie
Whether you agree with the concept or not, everyone needs to be able to vent from time to time. That's especially true if you're one of the many who suffere from an invisible illness. We have whines and rants about pains, medical professionals and prescriptions, just to name a few. Perhaps our families listen; perhaps they don't. Even if they do, they get tired of our complaining, even if they claim to understand our struggles. Or if they don't get tired of our "negative energy" we think they do or will.
Do you need to rant about something? Tell us about it.
Do you have somie celebration or victory you need to share? This is the place.
What's happening in your world today? Are you grumpy about somiething? Or so angry you could spit? Tell it here. Here at the Daily Whine & Shine, it's acceptable to rant, vent, complain, stomp your feet, throw a tantrum, and shout, "Oh shuckie darn!"
Wait! Don't go away! Do you have some good news to share? Great. This is the place for that as well. If you're celebrating, dancing, and yelling, "Yippee Skippy!" please share. Sometimes knowing about someone else's happiness gives us a bit of hope
for ourselves.
Whether you're shouting, "Oh shuckie darn!" or yelling, "Yippee skippy!" - this is the place to be. Pulll up a rocking chair, and let's talk about it.
Now, let's celebrate!!!

Food for thought:
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. - Thomas Jefferson
A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for a second, that second for a third, and so on 'til the bulk of the society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering ... And the forehorse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression. - Thomas Jefferson
All that is needed for the triumph of evil is for enough good men to do nothing. - Edmund Burke

I have to say right now that other than just being exhausted from the past 2 days, that today, so far, has been a better day on the home front and dealing with issues, although I feel like I'm walking on eggshells.
Its dark dreary and raining today and that isn't helping my aches and joint pains.
All I can tell you is that it can not get worse.
Mooch
now the whine--that company's location is quite inconvenient from where I live, loads of traffic and an hour'd drive each way.
Hope you all hae a good day!
Mooch, I'm praying for better days for you - soon.
whine: i have to find a place for us to live!! eeek!
As for the ovary she only took half of it but warned us that whatever it was ( the doctor doesn't know if its a tumor or a cyst yet) may come back and i could loose the other half of the ovary or worse i could grow another on the other ovary. I told the husband we need to start having babies just in case :O) anyways im done blabbing thank you :O)
having a good day everyone!
