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 some 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!!!

Mooch, I'm sorry your head is pounding.
So if anyone has something weird like this going on, get it checked as soon as possible. There probably is a good explanation for why it keeps happening.
May 9 - Lost Sock Memorial Day, I will be at my dryer holding a lit candle.
I have to work on my respect for chickens today it looks like. LOL I hate chicken! I like live chickens though. I'd love to have some here - fresh eggs, YUM.
Of course, she thinks every day is bird day - ha!!
