I'm 15,695 days (if my math is correct) but feel much older lately. ~C

Parents are human beings...just like everyone else. They're people. No one knows what they're doing in life...it's a learning process for everyone.

The most painful truth? For me it would have to be that our children are only "ours" for a very, very short time. In truth, they never really belonged to us at all. As parents our jobs are to bring them into this world and do the very best we can for them and in the end, that might not be good...

Sugarland is quite a ways from me, but Texas is a big state :) Thank you for the response.

I've been waking up with the sunrise for a while now. If I sleep past 7 I'm fortunate. I had always been a late sleeper before, rolling out of bed around 11 or 12 and I must say, I don't like being a early riser now. It makes the days SO much longer. ~C

I think there is a relationship between boredom and loneliness, especially these days. I don't believe our grandparents, or even our parents (depending on age), got "bored" the way we do because they weren't constantly being sabotaged with stimuli. There were no cell phones, computers, TVs with...

Euthanasia...has always been a topic that interests me. Probably because my parents followed the Kevorkian case back when and supported him completely. The argument that we put our animals asleep so they won't suffer and call it humane but we let our beloved elderly and terminally I'll suffer...

The introduction...always the first place I start when I join a new forum even though I'm pretty sure they're rarely looked at, so I try and keep them short. Female, 43, living in texas but hopefully not for much longer. I'm here because the world has been slowly going insane for a long time...
