Hmmm....I hope that I'm not mistaken as someone who is whinging or moaning....OR miserable.

Just thought I'd add a few things to this so called "steam room"

Felt kinda weird doing it, seeing how I had to really sit and think about things to whine about...I'm quite happy at all times, in my relationship and life in general.



And it does make me wonder WTF?? (in regards to Ches's comment about why some para's need caregiving)
The best love is the kind that awakens the soul & makes us reach for more, it plants a fire in our hearts & brings peace to our minds.

I hate commenting in a post, where we are encouraged to 'let it out', then being criticized.


I have a feeling you were "criticized" because you're passing judgment on those you don't understand. It really isn't fair for you to assume you know ANYTHING about anyone else's life. Maybe some para's have a lot more pain than others and thus need more help... My husband needs a little more help sometimes because he was shot in the back and has debilitating nerve pain that makes it impossible to move at all sometimes. I'm not saying that some para's don't have it easier than some other para's or quads. We are all different and we don't know how others get on.

As for all this hate stuff.
I don't hate anything except the jerks who shot my good husband for no more than not letting them in line in front of us in a merging situation. They really suck. :wub:

I do, however, wish we could walk together and hold hands.
And I would like to squeeze his bubble butt again. :blushing02:
And I would love for him to be able to pick me up and swing me around.
And I would love to be able to do something to help his pain and his emotional distress.
I would like to be able to hug him like we used to hug. He practically swallowed me up!

I dislike how I feel not quite as appreciated as I should. By him and his family.

BUT

I have faith and I know this is all temporary.

I'm with Nomis - paralysis I can learn to cope with but who on earth thought that eating Liver was a good idea? It should be completely banned so not only do I never have to eat it but I don't have to watch or smell anyone else eating it - horrible horrible horrible stuff. :mfrlol:

agree....
Mind you I was veggie for 8 years...
Never ever could get my head around eating liver. I hated the texture as a kid and once I learned what the liver does it was about as appetizing as eating shit.

I am in full aggreement with Nomis. Cucumber was made by the devil, it is pure evil and it's existence should not be tolerated.

Who ever it was who thought that putting cucumber into deodorant, moisturiser, washing up liquid etc was a good idea needs to be severely punished.

Wow, I sincerely hope you're not calling me an idiot. I have a feeling you are routinely misunderstood so I'll go ahead and assume that you were not, in fact, calling me an idiot.

One of my major beef's is the "Anniversery Effect". I am fast approaching my nineth and as has happened on the last eight I am starting to feel rat sh$$$%t, as all the what if's, memories of the "good old times" etc etc raise their ugly head.

I hate it how one misunderstanding can get blown up out of proportion.

I find it annoying how people assume same level injuries equal same level abilities, something I have to admit doing in the past, they do not, there could be additional undisclosed medical, physical factors involved.
