Jeff, no worries. The psych ward is a safe place for us. for us to be ourselves and cry and howl.

Yeah, it is pretty. My hair is so my best feature. Someone I know asked why don't i highlight it? I told her I wasn't messing with perfection.

there are worse things than spending the weekend in bed.

~*forever_broken*~ 26-07-2008 02:02 AM

Jeff, I'm sorry you're having such a time of it. I would like to tell you that, the idea that you WANT to be sick... A lot of us have been there I think. I believe it's because it is what is familier to us, in a strange way it's 'safe'.

Please don't drink, Jeff, it's not worth it *hugs*

blondiebear 26-07-2008 02:23 AM

Jeff, please don't drink. Please don't. I started drinking when I was about where you are, and it was a short fast elevator to hell.

Your wife is abusive then?
Is she not able to take care of the kids? Or does she stay home with the others? I don't remember what they have probs with. Sorry, memory of a window screen, old woman.

*passes around a bowl of brownie bites* store bought. my cooking timer is the smoke detector

blondiebear 26-07-2008 02:24 AM

Why are kids done if you drink?

~*forever_broken*~ 26-07-2008 02:37 AM

Jeff, we here in the psych ward are pretty darn patient... We have to be, we're so ****ed up...

What's up with the wife? Sounds like you're between a rock and a hard place.

Alright Jeff, can you do me a favor? I really need to stop drinking to solve my problems, to not feel... I'm drinking tonight so that's out of the question. But could you and I not drink together? Kind of tag team it or something? Hold eachother up I guess. If really like to avoide becoming an alcoholic, but I know I am well on my way there... But I think if both of us are trying... Maybe it would be easier..?

blondiebear 26-07-2008 02:49 AM

You both know that I'm here to grab on to or catch either or both of you if you start falling? Not with expectations. Not to judge. Maybe so you can grab onto me if you'd rather.
And Jeff, before you tell me you're too big, even though i am a short stuff, i have broad shoulders and even better, a big heart.

*cuddles you both*

~*forever_broken*~ 26-07-2008 02:55 AM

Uncle Jeff, first off I very much appreciate the help... But remember I asked if we could do this together... We'll both fight it. *hugs*

second, the reason we are here, the reason we ask, is because we care and we want to be able to help, we want to know what's going on.

I wonder, does your wife know she is this way? Does she know that her keeping any alcohol in the house is torture for you, dangerous for you? Have you talked to her about it? I don't know, maybe she is just that kind of person... I just thought I'd throw that out there. *hugs*

Oh, FYI, I drank one bottle of champagne and then half a bottle of this strawberry-champagne like stuff... And dumped the rest of it out:blush:

~*forever_broken*~ 26-07-2008 02:57 AM

Lol and yes you're right, that is where the quote came from... Just felt like it fit.oh, and Susan wasn't lying... She really does have a big heart :-D

blondiebear 26-07-2008 03:22 AM

Thank you dear daughter Ally.

Jeff, I was an abusive/abusing wife. My husband is six inches taller than I am but I grew up in such a violent household that I have ptsd. I also outweigh my husband, always have. (When we married he was skinny and i was healthily robust. Now he is healthy/slender and I am obese.) I can be mean when i'm drunk too. Or when I'm tired, or overwhelmed.

Jeff, I don't know that I would have survived another year of drinking. But i think you got sober about 7 years younger than I did.

What do you want in your magic shirt? Or from your magic shirt? What needs to be done, created, engineered? I'm not an artistic sewer, i'm an science based one. Yup, weird. Works though. So let me know what you want and I will make it work.

You are not bringing the place down! You are being honest. You are offering an amazing amount of help. You are so quickly becoming part of the community. Believe me, I am not always this cheerful! Or even pleasant!

*hugs you both*

~*forever_broken*~ 26-07-2008 03:32 AM

Oh my, Jeff, I'm sorry... It sounds to me like she really isn't taking your feelings into consideration *hugs*. I'm so sorry :-(

Pima Cotton I think, as it is grown here in California. 100% cotton. Will wrinkle but never itches. Hmm, sparklies itch, unless they are absolutely magical. Oh well, it is also magical quick drying cotton. Oh, a soft texture brushed cotton.

Layers of it quilted together? In a classic diamond design? I think with deep front and back yokes that are be where the quilted padded parts will be. And big patch pockets for holding extra bandannas.

And never mind what is weird and what isn't. I'm 5'3" tall and wear men's shirts cause the shoulders and sleeves on women's are significantly too small on me. It is why i'm so good at making shirts.

Let me know what changes you want if any?

blondiebear 26-07-2008 03:50 AM

Dang, your wife is cruel!

And I will be here for you to grab onto too. Both of you.

~*forever_broken*~ 26-07-2008 04:03 AM

Ugh
*sits in her corner and wishes she hadn't drank so she could take some Tylenol*
My leg is killing me atm... Cut... Go me :eyeroll:

Shirt sounds lovely btw y'all.

blondiebear 26-07-2008 04:07 AM

Purple then. Black buttons.

I'll start shopping for fabric on Monday. If you don't hear much from me over the weekend, don't worry. I'm hoping to get out of town for a day or two.

I'm off to eat some supper while watching project runway, then get a bit of sleep.

Ally dear, neosporin and bang aids for the leg. Gatorade for the head. Love you dear daughter.

Jeff, welcome to the family.

~*forever_broken*~ 26-07-2008 04:36 AM

Sounds very honest and brave... As to whether or not you should send it to her... I honestly don't know... But I'm young and have never been married so...

BoundNoMore 26-07-2008 05:00 AM
