John T Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread Whew ! It turns out I did not lose the friend after all. We talked tonight and just re-defined our friendship. So all is well ! Very cool. And does make sense: friendships and people change over time, not always in obvious ways. Sometimes it takes a good sit-down to figure out what's still what, and what isn't. Oddest damn thing that's happened to me in years: my mother-in-law's best friend of the last several decades just up an told her (in effect) "I don't like how our friendship has gone. I feel like I've been mistreated all this time. I want nothing more to do with you." Now, to be fair, mother-in-law can be a tad snobby and overbearing at times. But... if her friend had a problem with this all these years and didn't say something?.. Most of the blame is hers, honestly. Unfortunately, Michelle and I were good friends with her son... who promptly stopped speaking to us. Go figure. Life moves on, and so did we... rapidly. I really have very little energy in this life to spare for spineless pettiness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinKitty Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread The foot Doctor said to soak my feet twice a day in Epsom Salts and I had nothing to soak in, so I invested in a foot massager bowl.

death tribble Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread And Arsenal came third so even if Chelsea win the Champions League match next week, Arsenal will still be in the champions League next season. Tottenham meanwhile came fourth so need Chelsea to lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hopcroft Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread In spite of the cold that kept me home today, I got news from Social Security that my SSI (Supplemental Security Income) payment is being cut off. Why is this good news? Because it means I am closer to supporting myself by working as opposed to collecting pensions. And Social Security won't be completely going away -- I will still be receiving Social Security Disability (SSD) until I cross another, higher earning plateau. So I'm actually pleased to be getting $162 less per month from the government because it reflects that I am earning more from work. It also means my rent, which is based on my income, will go down somewhere in the neighborhood of $50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
