You'll make plenty of friends.<br /><br />I really like being on my own. I can do what I want, when I want. It's nice and the cats and dog help keep me from being too lonely.Sarcastic Bastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116577711704241625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266670669659028301.post-76871456592814861262009-08-17T04:40:18.456-07:002009-08-17T04:40:18.456-07:00Oh - I change the name of the blog all the time.

Meanwhile, because they didn't pay the doctors well for years, many left for the States. So now we have a doctor shortage which means I'm pretty much stuck with the one I have and am fortunate to have one. Many people have to deal with the clinics where I think it would be next to impossible to get a marijuana license. (My son's gf couldn't get a repeat on her birth control or anti-anxiety meds from one doctor! My son went nuts and got another doc there to do it). I'm thinking that I might ask for a referral to a pain clinic but the one here closed up when the doc died and the other localish one is backed up for 2 years because of it. I will continue as I am - it's not really a big deal. Most cops won't bother charging anyone who's smoking anyway. Dealers might get busted but I don't think that's even such a big deal. It's the grow ops they really go after.<br />But honestly - the relief I get from the tiniest amount of weed - it seems like a miracle to me. And how many other people are suffering needlessly when there's such a simple answer? And why do so many people think it's such a big deal?Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320507412459242451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266670669659028301.post-63986893491366793932009-08-16T19:10:19.392-07:002009-08-16T19:10:19.392-07:00Jeannie - Yeah, I don't understand how we got ...Jeannie - Yeah, I don't understand how we got to be so materialistic as a nation. I mean, I do understand, I guess, how it happened; but why are people prone to such crap to begin with? We're all guilty of it. Sometimes I find myself looking at an advertisment for something I don't need and longing for it so much. Or looking at shit on ebay that I'm never going to buy, but wishing I could. Logically, I know I don't need any of it. Maybe it's because I don't have very nice stuff and the nice stuff I do have, I really enjoy. So I think more would be even better, somewhere in my head. And there is something kind of sick about people, whether we admit it or not, which makes us feel better flaunting our success to those around us. Even if we think we don't.<br />One good choice I think I've made in my life, though, is I never got a credit card and racked up mad debt buying stuff I didn't need. I know so many people who have done that and are paying for it now. The only thing I really indulge in is food and drugs, for now. Maybe someday I'll have enough money to perhaps spend huge sums on vulgar amounts of material possessions. Probably not, though.<br />SB - I really hope he does too. Wow, 15 years. That's a long time to be married. I guess Mike and I have been together about seven years, only half that time. It must be such a huge change for you! I guess I have to admit that part of me is scared to be alone. I don't have a lot of friends around here, which is mostly my fault. And, really, he's my best friend more than anything. But we're just not lovers, you know? I know, in the long run, I'd be so much happier on my own once I got into it. I'm just a sissy when it comes to making a break or saying goodbye to someone.<br />Yeah, seven dogs is crazy. I know I'm, like, one of those crazy animal people. It wasn't supposed to go down the way it did, but here we are. It's a ton of work. And our new place has carpet, which is really old to begin with, and it's so hard to keep clean. I hate it, actually. Love the dogs but thank God they are tiny.NHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466126254034203883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266670669659028301.post-66395480099555254472009-08-13T07:02:20.180-07:002009-08-13T07:02:20.180-07:00Nellie,

I split with my husband of 15 years recently, and though I miss him sometimes (we are still friends and he comes over about once a week), I'm much happier now. <br /><br />Seven dogs! Man. You are doing your share girlfriend. <br /><br />You've lived quite a life so far. I enjoy reading about it.<br /><br />Love you, SB.Sarcastic Bastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116577711704241625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266670669659028301.post-57963127479819464122009-08-13T06:45:08.458-07:002009-08-13T06:45:08.458-07:00It's interesting what some people get up to in...It's interesting what some people get up to in their youth. Few responsibilities and parents for funding makes it easier. Having to make our own way forces us to settle more and more. What I don't really understand is why people keep wanting bigger and bigger houses and more and more stuff. It's driving me crazy taking care of all the crap I have now. It creeps up on you.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320507412459242451noreply@blogger.com
