Title: expose yourself Post by john_d on Nov 3rd, 2004, 2:44pm Want to try this too? It's up to you, but it feels good. My name is John D. I am 35 years old and I live in Titusville, FL. I am single and I live alone. My parents, brother and sister also live in Titusville and I see them as often as I can. My personality is INFP (http://www.typelogic.com/infp.html). It is a briggs-myers personality profile and it stands for Introverted Intuitive Feeling Perceiver. I am not cool, I have never been cool, I will probably never be cool. I am big. I am 6'4 and 210-225 lbs depending on when you catch me. I am not a pretty man, I am not an ugly man, I may be more ugly than pretty but actually this also depends on when you catch me. I have blond hair and blue eyes, I used to have brown hair and blue eyes but my hair is greying very much so now it looks blond. It actually worked out pretty good. I am smart. My IQ is very high. But I am stupid, I do many, many stupid things. I am a twin. I have an identical twin, but we had a problem called twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome in the womb so my brother has a mild case of cerebral palsy. The reality of having someone with the same genetic makeup as myself but with the birth defect of cerebral palsey has always been both a difficulty and a blessing to me. I am afraid. I fear people. I don't understand people very often and this make me fear them. I am violent, when I drive my car to work I curse most of the other drivers for either driving unsafely or too safely. I am also very intimidating, but I have never hurt anyone purposefully. I don't understand how this came to be, I think it has to do with protecting my brother. I am a heterosexual. In the past, I have been attracted to unstable (needy) women. The result was very, very bad experiences- especially for an F on the briggs-myers personality profile. I am now very cautious and afraid of relationships, this I wish could change. I am an engineer. I write software for a large defense contractor. I am respected for my software skills and work ethic in my office. I have an office with a door. There is a cabinet in my office that holds the travel expense reports for human resources and she comes in my office about twice a day to file things. That's all I can think of. |

I am also very comfortable in my own skin so dont bother quoting my post pointing out to me that I am annoying and arrogant. So there! Also, that profile in the link is written by a guy by the name of Joe Butt. I wouldn't believe anything written by a guy with a name like Joe Butt . |

I am not, but I still fit into the same clothes I wore in highschool. I like turtles and giraffes and collect angels. I have been married twice... the second husband is better than the first though the first husbands head didnt hurt. I like to write...and do graphics...I live in Massachusetts.I am a hairdresser by trade. I have a small business working with toddlers. I love kids and I think Im a kid expert. I am looking for a new career (offers greatly appreciated). I have three kids. Two great boys you know all about and a daughter that could work for the terrorists. Life is interesting especially when you think you are 17 years old and look in the mirror occasionally. I also know two little adorable boys that will call me Nana once they speak my language. I like to support people, and belong to several support groups for Military moms as well as this one. It helps me to deal with my husbands condition, and my boys situation.

Title: Re: expose yourself Post by Pegase on Nov 3rd, 2004, 3:57pm My name is Phil Morand I am 35 years old and I live in Montreal, Quebec, Canada... So it means that I'm fucking french frog ;) I am joined in faith with Annie and we have a little girl of 1 year old Rosalie, 2 cats and one pointing and hunting dog (a french Spaniel). I got one sister and two other brothers. My mother is a nurse and my father a gyneacologist and we're a tight and happy family. Usually I am pretty cool but my family keep telling that i have a bad temper and that I like to provok. I am tall and slim. I am 6'2 and 160-175 lbs depending of cycles. I am not a pretty man, I am not an ugly man, I may be more pretty than ugly but I'm too shy to score everytime ;). I have light brown hair and eyes and i got a slight curve to the left ( I just wanted to add some humor) :D I am smart but often stupid and something lazy ;;D I am a identical twin too and I always loved fighting with him... BTW John... I feel for you my friend... I cant imagine my twin like that :'( I am afraid of extemist people... and I dont understand them... for me there's a lot of grey in this world. I was violent when I took my car to work so I took the bus... Now even better... I started my own business as a freelancer (so I work home) and I'm a specialist in Web site "front-end" and e-marketing. I can be intimidating when I get mad and I used to beat a lot of little dudes when i was young... Now I try to use words first... I am a heterosexual. In the past, I have been attracted to unstable (needy) women but I finally find the right one... It only took me 30 years... but while I was searching I cant say I did'nt have fun :D That's a part me... Nice to know you a little bit better my twin bro :) Phil |

I think most of the people on this website are annoying. Somehow that only makes me love them more. Aside from being annoying, I enjoy making others annoyed. I have red hair (all over) and dirty feet (most of the time). I think i'm special, but in reality i'm most likely just another guppy caught in the swamp. I only come here cuz i have cluster headaches, otherwise i'd be annoying someone else. Penelope |

Title: Re: expose yourself Post by nani on Nov 3rd, 2004, 6:24pm My name is Anita. Most people call me nani. I am 47 years old and live in Los Lunas New Mexico (about 25 miles south of Albuquerque). I grew up in the Bronx in NYC. I am tough as nails (you can take the girl out of the Bronx, but you can't take the Bronx out of the girl), but am also very kind. I have been married three times and have been married to my present husband,Bob, for almost 17 years. I was raised by a bipolar and abusive mother and a child molesting emotionally absent father. I was a teenaged Mom and my adult children are 31 and 29. I have been in therapy 5 times. I am currently raising two of my three grandkids...an 11 y.o.boy and an 8y.o. girl. I have legal custody of my 5 y.o. granddaughter who lives with her Mom (my daughter) who is a recovering methamphetamine addict. My mother, who has Alzheimer's and my stepfather (who is developmentally delayed) live with me. I will send them to a nursing home when I feel I can no longer care for them. I substitute teach and do some daycare, as well. I love kids. I almost died in 1999 and have spent the time since never hiding or withholding my feelings. If I die tomorrow, everyone I love would have heard it from me recently. I still keep in touch with two girlfriends from grade school, and my 8th grade English teacher and counselor. I love my new CH family, even though I often disagree with a lot of them. Oh - and I'm relatively smart, short and a little(?) chubby. I used to be pretty damned hot if I must say so myself! |

Title: Re: expose yourself Post by E-Double on Nov 3rd, 2004, 7:42pm I'm Eric Diamond.... 31 yr old man with brown hair and brown eyes. Used to be near 5'11 before getting hit head on in '97 now 5'10 with a good neck stretch lol E-double cuz went to high school with some "old school" rappers EPMD and one of the guys was known as E-Double-E .....they called me E-double... Always grew up in tough areas...From Queens,NY originally (From Queens come Kings From Kings come Queens WE're raisin' hell like a class when the Lunch bell rings!!! ...runDMC) From a yours mine and ours family like many...."Mommy and Daddy threw Eric a great big birthday party for his 1st with all his favorite people"... Year 2.."Mommy threw a nice party for Eric" lol Both parents remarried nearly 30yrs. 7 siblings all together, 1 w/ Autism (that's where I've developed my passion) yet I'm an "only child" Went off to college and pledged a fraternity my first semester....had a blast...failed out. Got my act together and figured could have best of both worlds so I went back to same school and started off well then found "brother" with half his head missing...good old shotgun to the skull in my living room... Lost my mind...Dropped out. Folks want me home...What is home...never felt like I really had a family other than the misfits in my fraternity so..... stayed up @ college as a "townie" living in my fraternity house and worked: bartender, bouncer (got the job when an owner saw me kick the $hit out of some dude twice my size. That point on known as littlest giant. 2yrs deep into a bottlke of Yukon Jack and many a drug (actually remember my first cycle beginning back in '95 and thought it was due to a really good "ski" trip if any of you know what I mean)finally got act together and realized wanted back to "reality" and school. Went on got degrees in Psychology and Masters in Special Education, have a Board Certification in Behavior Analysis and will hopefully go back soon for my Ph.D. in Learning Processes. Have been afraid to b/c of CH but no longer scared THANKS ALL!!!!!! So I'm a dude who always had low self esteem on the inside yet somehow exhuded confidence..always had a pretty girl and popular yet never truly felt complete. Always gave to others despite hurting myself until I met my love Joanna............ Some it up I'm me...I am what I am..It is what it is....I'm passionate about human behavior, punk rock, 80's new wave, ska and good old '70's FUNK. I'll be married in 18 days to the girl of my dreams. Glad I found a family here!!! Good thread ;) E. |

Because even mentioning 10% of my life would fill 5 threads I will spare you the details. Even though I am Paul, I go by the name Opus. I live the same type of life Opus lives but want to really be Bill the Cat. I really want to fly but am grounded by wings that don't work. My best friend is Tux, another penguin.

Title: Re: expose yourself Post by Charlie on Nov 4th, 2004, 1:21am Just for exercise: I'm Charlie who has been around since 1946 in southwestern New York State. I'm a 6' 2" 212 pound clumsy Swede. I worked for my dad in the auto parts business, went to college for about 3 years, worked in three or four jobs in Utica, NY briefly until I got a job selling war relics and later went in to the antique business. I and some friends did antique shows around the northeast. I still sell collectibles on ebay do two shows a year. It's my thing. I was never married, came close though but now I live the life of a curmudgeon and frightening neighbor children. My clusters began in 1969 when I was 23 and they disappeared in 1991 at the age of 45. I don't know why. One of the best things that has happened recently is finding and meeting so many of you brain-damged people clusterheads. 8) Thanks kids.

Title: Re: expose yourself Post by Ronny on Nov 4th, 2004, 2:27am Ok, let’s do this. I’m Ronny. I live in Belgium, Brugge by the North Sea. 15 Km. From Holland and about 60 Km. from the French border. In our country we have 3 official languages: Dutch (me), French and German (only a very small part speaks german). I’m 42 since august, about 6 foot i guess (1,80 meter) and not skinny, not fat either (83Kg). Blue eyes, short brown hair with the start of a railroad in it. I hate doctors, I almost never visit one. I try to make fun all day long, I’m often kidding so people don’t know if I’m serious or not. The first 6 years of my life, i lived in Germany, Köln. My father was in the Belgian Army, stationed in Germany. I met my wife at the age of 15 and married her 4 years after. She’s my first and only. I have 5 children, A girl who is 20 now, she’s in her final year of becoming a teacher (dont know the name for such a school (college?)). Then we had 3 children at once (triplets?), one girl and two boys (13 years of age), 18 months later we had our last child, a girl who is 12 now. I’m working in my father’s garage for 24 years now, the first years where combined with school. I have a technical degree in mechanics. When i was married i took a 3 years course to become a programmer-analyst. I just love computers. I had my first computer (a sinclair) even before there was a pc. I also love motorcycles, I just bought a new one (Honda ST1300). It’s my first Honda, all the others were from a German former airplane constructor. I drive it all the time, I have a car but almost never use it. So, that’s about it I think, I could put lots of other stuff here but he, I’m not writing my biography now. Ronny. |

Title: Re: expose yourself Post by Donna_D. on Nov 4th, 2004, 9:20am For those of you who don't know me... I am Donna D. I am 36 years old and I live in Dallas, Texas with my two children Jessica (4) amd Justin (2 1/2). My whole family lives here, but they never take the time to come and see me. I see my cluster family more often than I see my "real" family. I don't know what personality type I am, but I can tell you that I think I am fun to be around. I like to laugh out loud and am not afraid to let anyone see me cry although many times I laugh instead of crying. I am NOT a drama queen but I do have a tendency to post a lot here about my personal life (the support here is the only support I really get). I do not have many friends outside of clusterville and, lilke John D., I do not think I am cool....In fact I am a bit geeky---glasses and all!! 8) I am short (5'4) with big boobs (that is where I get my Double D nickname) and if you ask me how much I weigh, well you might find yourself picking your teeth up off the floor (it isn't nice to ask a ladies weight ;) ). I have brown eyes and my hair color (according to the bottle) is Caramel Kiss (whatever THAT means). The gray hair is catching up with me all too soon. I am book smart and my IQ is pretty high up there too, but have very little common sense, although I am slowly but surely getting better in that department as the years go by. I have three younger brothers who rarely talk to me...why, I have no clue. I just got out of a physically violent relationship with the father of my kids. Now, for the first time in my life I am enjoying finding out who *I* am....and I kinda like me! :) I am DEFINATELY heterosexual...I don't think there has EVER been any doubt about THAT point-heh heh heh. I am actively dating someone now and having the time of my life. WOO HOOOOOOOOOO!!! As far as work, well I am a Credentialing Specialist/Medical Biller/Marketing Representative/Office Manager/All around Girl Friday...Doctors pay us to help them get "In Network" with the insurance companies. http://www.PHMNetwork.com. It is a good job, (when I get paid) and the boss is FINALLY starting to understand about my CH. This is a GOOD thing. I believe in OUCH and wish I had more time to devote to it, but raising two kids alone is a hard enough job in itself sometimes. I love my family here and for the first time in my life, I feel I belong somewhere. That is it in a nutshell, cracked tho' it may be ;;D. DD |

Title: Re: expose yourself Post by Jeepgun on Nov 4th, 2004, 10:36am Okay; Let's do this for real: My full name is Frank Hewes Weeden. I am named for my grandfather, and my middle name is my great grandmother's maiden name. I was born, this time around, on the 13th of April, 1969, in Lynnwood, CA. I lived in West Covina until I was 5, and then we moved to Lake Isabella, CA. I have a sister who is five years older than I, from whom I've been estranged for the past 14 years, and a half-brother who is nine years younger than me. My father and stepmother were both violently abusive, and I attempted suicide three times as a teenager. I joined the Army at the age of 16, on the delayed entry program, which allowed me to finish up my high school diploma and graduate, which I completed a semester ahead of my peers, before leaving for boot camp two days after graduation. I left for boot camp on the 25th of January, 1987. After completing boot camp, I then went on to training as a medic. I worked for three years in an Army emergency room, on Camp Zama, Japan, and volunteered for Operation Just Cause. (Panama, 1989) I then was recommended for an open position with the 78th Aviation Batallion, and enlisted for three more years, where I worked as a flight medic. I volunteered for Operation Desert Storm, and a month prior to leaving for that, married my sweetheart that I had been dating for two years prior. I returned from the war and completed my term of enlistment, accepting my Honorable Discharge, having attained the rank of sergeant, with numerous decorations, including Crew Wings, Expert Field Medical Badge, Expert Marksman with the M-16, .45, and 9mm, two good conduct medals (three years each), Combat Medical Badge (w/ star, denoting two combat tours), Jump Wings, and the Army Commendation Medal. One lingering "gift" is having been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, which, for the most part, doesn't bother me, except for frequent nightmares, at times. I wish I were back in Iraq or in Afghanistan, and came VERY close to re-enlisting on 9/12/01. Still having the wanderlust, I then accepted an offer to be a precision machinist with a Japanese company, and spent the next three years as a machinist, using and programming CNC lathes. I taught myself Japanese and was fluent within nine months. After three years as a machinist, I was then asked to head up that company's International Division, and I worked as the manager for that for another three years. Having set up trade-magazine ads, advertising that we were searching for partners in North America, we found someone willing to work with us in Tennessee. I was then asked to move to Tennessee to set up the American branch of our corporation, and was asked to be president of the new American branch, and have remained in this job and position for the past 8 years. Our company supplies a type of nozzle used in injection molding of thermoplastics, as well as supplying electrostatic elimination/balancing equipment used in various industrial applications. (Film, roll, and sheet work, industrial painting, etc.) I flew ultralights for a while, in my spare time, took flying lessons and was working for my private pilot's license, and I am a member of MENSA. I am also in the National Directory of Who's Who in Executives & Professionals. Other hobbies and pursuits include playing piano, guitar, trumpet, singing, writing poetry and short stories, shooting pool, woodworking, offroading, reading, chess, working out, astronomy, and assembling scale models. My wife and I have been married for thirteen years, and we have a daughter named Julia, who is 7 years old. I began suffering cluster headaches when I returned to the United States in 1996, and was finally diagnosed and given proper medication (thanks to this website) last year. I am episodic, and my next CH cycle is due to arrive in February. Thank you. -Frank |

Title: Re: expose yourself Post by thomas on Nov 4th, 2004, 11:20am I am thomas, I am 32 years old. I am a very large man. I am selfish, I have little concern for others. I have had clusterheadaches for 13 years. I am episodic. I tend to be easily irritated by other people. I live behind a wall. I don't like to let people get too close to the real me. I have a very high opinion of myself. I am a taker, not a giver. I will make getting to know me the hardest thing you've ever done. Trust me it's not worth your time anyway. A lot of you think I'm a nice guy, well, I am to an extent. But the real me, can be very nasty and petty. I keep things bottled up inside for too long and never communicate my wants and needs until it's too late. I am very critical and judgemental of others. No one is nearly as perfect as I am, in my own eyes. All of that being said, I am trying to fix these imperfections in an attempt to actually enjoy the rest of my life and enrich those people that I will encouter along the way. It will not be easy and has been quite painful at times. Realizing that the man I see in the mirror everyday is not who I thought he was has had a huge impact on my life. Learning about your own faults is not an easy thing to do. It is even harder to try and modify your behaviour. As far as CH is concerned, it hurts, it sucks, it can take away so much. It is the most terrible thing I have ever encountered in my short life. You all have my thanks for being here when I've needed you. Some day hopefully I can return the life-changing/saving support you have given me. Peace out. |

I am usually seen wearing a cap on my head. There is actually hair under it. I am a people person and can talk to just about anybody unless I think they may have been driving the car I was stuck behind in traffic this morning. I turn into a total monster when I'm driving. Stupid people irritate me. My wife has told me that I can be a very intimidating person if I'm not careful because I have a mean look. I don't think so. Like a lot of you said, I'm not attractive and not ugly, I'm just me. I play guitar, bass, drums and keyboards. I also like to sing. My main area of interest is guitar. I just spent all of my extra cash to buy a new neck for one of my guitars. My guitars and other musical equipment are worth about as much as my house. I love to listen to and play blues music. Gary Moore, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, etc... I am a computer geek. That is what I do for a living. Starving musicians like to eat too. I love to camp with my wife Becky and my 3 year old daughter Mackenzie. At least 5 camp outs a summer or we're not satisfied. I play guitar or drums with the praise band at Church depending on which they need worse on any given Sunday. I love my family. I would literally take a bullet for my wife or daughter. I am very protective of my family and would not hesitate to hurt, maim, or destroy any person who would try to hurt them. I am very loyal to my freinds and very scary to my enimies. I'm not a mean person but I look like I could be so my enimies leave me alone. That is a good thing. I have an incredible sense of humor. I have been told that my humor borders on insanity and is pretty weird. (Think Monty Python and The Young Ones.) I am an eposodic cluster headache sufferer. I don't know how long ago they started. I have had them for so long, I thought it was just a normal thing when I was younger. I am feeling fortunate right now that the cycle that I thought was going to be here by now seems to have gotten lost on the way and only sent a few shadows. I'm pretty boring I guess. |

Title: Re: expose yourself Post by Jeepgun on Nov 4th, 2004, 12:55pm Not boring at all, Pat. Thank you! Thomas, congratulations to you for your courage and wisdom. It takes a great measure of both to confront oneself unflinchingly and honestly. On the other hand, be sure to apply that measure of wisdom and honesty to your good qualities as well, because you have many, my friend. My best to you and Geena. -Frank |

Title: Re: expose yourself Post by lionsound on Nov 4th, 2004, 12:58pm My name is Rori. I am 34 years old, about 5’6”tall. I have lots of curly brown hair and brown eyes which can hide my pain well…unless you really know me. I weigh about 137. I live with my husband of 12 years, and our two boys ages 6 and 10. I have a sister who is two years older who I don’t get to speak to much and brother who is eight years younger. My dad has two kids the around my kid’s ages, which is just weird. I grew up and went to college in New Haven, CT. I lived in a wretchedly abusive home as a child and threw all of my energy into school. I did well and was liked there. I went to Yale on massive scholarship and graduated with a BA in art. Six months later I married my most favorite person in the universe, James. Then I went off to be an elementary school art teacher. A job I enjoyed until I the first moment I laid eyes on my oldest son and bawled my eyes out because I just couldn’t go back to work. I held various part time jobs over the years Airport Info desk Person, part time art teacher, Tupperware senior executive manager(#9 in the country). I really liked Tupperware because I was running my own business and driving a free van, but again the pull to my family was stronger. I missed having dinner with them and so when we felt we could financially swing it, I quit. I continue to volunteer a lot at school, building sets for musicals and other fun stuff, and run various fundraising events when asked. Now I mom around with my family. I love it. It is the most important thing I could ever do. My current employers are the best….they give hugs and hold my hand and may even let me nap when I feel crappy. I’ve had headaches ever since I can remember. Just diagnosed properly in 2002. As a child I was told they were my fault and I’m learning that they are not. Actually, I’m learning that a lot of things weren’t my fault. And I’ve discovered that I thrive on nature and books and painting and drawing, art museums and Starry Night and actually starry nights too. And recently I’ve become quite attached to this place and all of you……and I am really grateful for that. Thank you. -Rori |

Title: Re: expose yourself Post by LeLimey on Nov 4th, 2004, 3:28pm I'm Helen, I'm 39 years old and 5ft 1 and a 1/2 inches tall. (thats TALL y'hear?!!) I have three kids, Brid (pronouced Briege) Barnaby and Jasper 10, 9 and 3 respectively. I have one dog, a beagle called Ron (Ron Weasley in Harry Potter) and two cats called Widdle and Puke and no, you don't want to know how they got their names!! I work for a credit card company in Nottingham and I also have a volunteer job as membership officer for the hovercraft club of Great Britain. I am a people person, I love having people around and always have a full house.. especially full of other peoples kids! I have been married twice, once to a complete bastard who wanted to be a wrestler but couldn't afford a non human punchbag and currently to a saint with fibreglass encrusted jeans!! (He builds microlights and hovercraft) I couldn't be luckier or happier and I let him know that daily! [smiley=heart.gif] As well as having ch I have a crappy bone disease and I'm coeliac, which means I'm allergic to gluten (wheat, barley, rye etc) UNfortunately this means no pizza but FORTUNATELY malt whisky is ok as its distilled! More proof for my theory that for every down there is an up! The glass is completely full for me.. half full of fluid and half full of air! :) I like playing the fool, I like making people laugh. I am terrified of violence and the way the world is going. I like driving, reading, cooking, walking and socialising.. not all at the same time of course! I love music and my tastes range all over the spectrum from classical to gospel according to my mood.. I am ALWAYS in the mood for heavy metal however!! I hate hypocrisy, spite, meaness and racism. I can't see how someones colour or religion, gender or the colour of their car is grounds for prejudice. I'm determined that my children will grow up to judge people by the life they lead rather than the hand they are dealt. Having said all that I am not a saint.. completely the opposite and if you want twisted jokes then I'm your girl! I have a very low IQ.. I really like Don and Jeepgun.. JOKE BOYS!! I couldn't be happier having found this board, not only do I have answers and information but I have a whole new group of family members to care about and worry about. I'm hoping to come to Dallas next year and meet some of you so thats fair warning to hide I think! Seriously though, you guys mean alot to me and I hope that one day I can help you just as much as you have helped me Take care Helen |

Title: expose yourself Post by vig on Nov 4th, 2004, 4:38pm I was just kidding... I've never been arrested for THAT! alright, how else would I do this but in pictures... I was born in 1960. I'm the second of four boys. (far right and yes, that was the last time I was in the tub with boys... I'm straight.) http://www.kdlltd.com/vig/4boysnthetub.jpg Here is me in Montessori school. This picture is actually in one of her books. http://www.kdlltd.com/vig/plvs.jpg I went to the University of RoCHester in upstate New York for math and physics and gymnastics... http://www.kdlltd.com/vig/pvaturs.jpg but ended up in computers. I worked at Argonne National Laboratory for 9 years before starting to be a consultant (with mixed results) I've led a fairly normal life. No kids, got close twice, but neither survived. I have 4 niephews (nieces and nephews) and I'm presently single and living in North Carolina. http://www.kdlltd.com/vig/pinpres.jpg This is me now sitting on Dubya's couCH in his office in the Senate. I started having headaCHes 8 years ago. Now I'd like to be painfree and make a living with a camera, or two. http://www.kdlltd.com/vig/ppic.jpg ;;D |

Title: Re: expose yourself Post by kcorrigan on Nov 4th, 2004, 5:14pm Ok, my turn.. I am Katie Corrigan. I turned 29 on September 30th, two days before this recent cycle started. 29 has not been much fun, lol. I am married to a wonderful man, Jim, ... my soul mate. He is 49 and will be 50 in February. We have 3 kids (his from his previous marriage) and 3 beautiful grandsons with another due in March. I am 5'5, 122 lbs. I have brown hair and hazel eyes. I am smart, or at least I used to be when life was much simpler - and before everyone I new went off and got college educations. I would say that I'm attractive, not a super-model, but I do okay. I don't have many friends - not sure why. I'm easy to get along with, caring, and I don't run with scissors. I work in an office that I hate. The people there are not nice to me. At least the women aren't - the guys are great, go figure. I also run my own in-home party business. It's helped me meet a lot of new people and make new friends. I also make a difference in people's lives. I have always thought of myself as the type of person that people come to for answers. I know when I'm gone people will say that I mattered in their lives. I believe that's what I'm here for. I don't have any kids, don't want them. Instead I have two dogs, labs - that don't know they're dogs. They are the loves of my life. They seem to understand that I'm not well and are coping with me being home all the time. I don't know why I get these headaches, but am grateful that I have the support that I do. I am funny. I like to be the center of attention and make people laugh. Not to put the focus on me necessarily but to redirect it away from negative stuff. Like I'm the one telling funny stories at funerals, you get the idea. My family is not very big, but not really small either. I have one sister that I talk to occassionally. She lives in NC. My mother and father are still living. Dad got remarried 20 years ago. Mom has a tough time with marriage and is unhappy with her life but not eager to admit it. Sorry - that's not really about me... I try to be organized and motivated but I'm not very good at it. I do make things happen and usually get what I want. I have determination but often lack the ambition to get to where I want to be. How's that for screwed up? Well, that's all I can think of for now. I've really enjoyed everyone else's bios. Thanks for sharing! |

Title: rRe: expose yourself Post by cschick on Nov 4th, 2004, 10:33pm Well since I am a Leo you know I have to talk about myself.... Karen Lynn Bailey born on August 10, 1975. Grew up in a teeny-tiny village of 300 people called Steward, Il. It was a fantastic place to grow up - rode our bikes from morning 'til night and I had my best friend (best friends since 1st day of kindergarten!) ask me the other day if I ever remember it raining when we were growing up and I had to say no. It was always sunny and beautiful. Now that is a fantastic childhood! When I graduated from 8th grade we moved to Oregon, Il. to a haunted house. Yes, it was truly haunted and not in a good way. I have blocked most of that from my memory and don't remember much of my high school years because we lived there all the way through high school. I moved out with Ellen 3 months after graduating high school and never looked back. I am the youngest of 4 kids. I have a sister, Beth, who is 8 years older than me, a brother, Brian, who is 7 years older and another sister, Ellen, who is 5 years older. I am very tight with my sisters and we talk almost daily. My brother and I have drifted apart since my sister-in-law died almost 4 years ago. Long story, won't go into it, but just to let you all know she was the strongest most wonderful person God ever put on this earth. I miss her so badly. I met my wonderful husband, Chris, 8 years ago this February through the personals in the newspaper. I called him! We talked on the phone for hours and hours each night for 2 weeks before finally meeting in person. We never spent a day apart after that meeting. We got engaged just 4 weeks after meeting, got married 3 months after meeting and had Colin less than a year after meeting. ahem, don't do the math on the wedding and the child being born - let's just say the shotguns were out and a blazin'. I'm such a very *friendly* person! ;;D I have short/medium length auburn hair, brown eyes and am 5'4". I will not tell you all my weight but I am going to sign up at Weight Watchers on Saturday so I am going to be on the weight loss track again soon. I had toxemia when I was pregnant, gained 125 lbs. I have lost a lot of that weight but still have another 50 lbs to lose. I will let you all know how that goes. ;;D I am a very happy upbeat person when the beast isn't visiting. I don't have a lot of friends, but the ones I have I will defend and protect to the death. One of my best friends is a single mom of 3 kids. I work as a CSR at a health insurance company despite the fact that I have a severe hearing impairment. I have only 10% hearing in my right ear and about 50% in my left ear. I have worn hearing aides since 6th grade. I was teased mercilessly in grade school for wearing hearing aides but nobody said a word to me in high school. I didn't have my hearing aides from the time I graduated high school until about a year ago. It was an amazing experience to be able to hear again. I am constantly amazed by the noises that I hear. When I got my aides again my son was with me and he was behind me when the audiologist turned the aides on. He was playing with a hot wheel car on the floor and I could hear it. I didn't know they made noise when they were run on a tile floor. AMAZING! When we left the office we walked outside and I stood and just listened. Really listened for the first time in my life. There was this noise, like a snapping sound, I asked Colin "Listen, baby, tell Mama what that sound is, it sounds like a snap, snap, snap." He listened for a few minutes and said "Mama, I think it is the flag." I looked up and sure enough THE FLAG MAKES NOISE!!!! Never take for granted what you hear each day. Cars make noise, typing makes noise, knuckles cracking make noise, my husbands butt makes A LOT of noise! ::) Well, I guess that about sums it up. Oh, I forgot one important thing, I recently gained this amazing family that I never knew I had and am I grateful every single day. God Bless each and every one of you. |

Title: Re: expose yourself Post by EmpressJMB on Nov 5th, 2004, 10:30am I just spent way too much time reading this thread but found it absolutely fascinating! Here goes: My name is Janet and I was born the first day of spring on 3/21/62 in Buffalo, NY. That makes me 42 but I feel 21 in my head. I am 5' 11" and not skinny and not fat. I have blue eyes and brown hair which was down to my waist until recently. I have been told I am pretty but don't like what aging is doing to me. I am the youngest of 6 kids but my parents died when I was too young. My father died when I was 6 and my mother died when I was 12... I believe she couldn't stand being away from my dad any longer. My brother and I were raised by my 2nd oldest sister and her wonderful husband; although they were very strict. I was a very, very, very bad teenager for which I am very sorry for now. I don't remember much of high school cause I was usually high. However, I managed to graduate with a 3.5 average. I left home at 17 and moved to Santa Cruz, CA. I loved it there but in 1983, I lost all that I owned in a landside/flood so I returned home after four years. Met my husband a year after that and we were married 3 years later. We were married 8 years before we had our boys, Noah 10 and Gabe 9 (he was an oops!). I am a very friendly and outgoing person. I love people. I am also brutely honest or so I've been told. The name Empress came from my girlfriends 20 years ago. My family is everything to me. My husband and I live in a 100 year old house that has been in his family since it was built. Our kids are the 5th generation to live here. My mother in law lives with us. My husband is a very quiet and shy man (at least with people he doesn't know), so since I need to socialize with people, I bartend 3 nights a week. I also do all the bookkeeping for my girlfriends restaurant and I also make pies for the restaurant. After a tough start, my life is good now and I am happy. I am so used to having headaches, since I was 15, that I just roll with it when in cycle. I think all you guys are great and am very thankful to have found you. I feel like I belong here but really don't feel like I am connecting with people here like I would like to. I'm not quite sure why. My computer is 5 years old and too slow for doing much posting but I am here every day and read everything new. Like the thread last week, I may not respond all the time, but my vibes and prayers are always going out to you. I hope to meet you face to face someday at a convention. The things I like are music, reading, hiking, camping and art of any kind. I love to draw and my current medium is colored pencil. J [smiley=wave.gif] |

Title: Re: expose yourself Post by Gena on Nov 5th, 2004, 12:22pm Lets see… Gena exposed… Grew up in Plano TX., just north of Dallas. Although we were a financially well off family my parents never had the time or inclination to do the family thing. So my brother and I were given everything, but parental guidance. My mom left when I was 14 to pursue her dream of being a groupie. I was left to my fathers care, if you want to call it that. So let your imagination run to the wildest things a teen would get away with in this situation and you would most likely have my teen years. I grew up not having to care about anybody other them me what I wanted and when I wanted it. There for I also grew up believing that my wants and needs are first and the most important everybody else was secondary (if they were lucky) So needless to say I became an unwed mother at 20 (also the time in which I first got CH) with a child I had no idea what to do with, and parents that once again helped financially in every way possible, (sending me to Indiana) but could not possibly help me be a parent. So Chris and I grew up together, he is what I call a backpack child. I raised him with the theory that kids are completely portable and can do whatever I do, and he did. By the time he was 2 he could read and write make his own breakfast and lunch. And knew how to take care of mommy when her head hurt. ( He was and still is my best friend) The next ten years were filled with an abusive marriage. Drinking, Fighting, Drugs and more fighting and don’t let me forget I had my next son Eddie (someone else for Chris to take care of). Through counseling I have discovered my true self and self worth. How to truly live life, and how to be a better parent. I left the abusive husband, and that life, behind. I am trying to move forward. And hopefully for my kids it is not to late for them to learn what a home and a parent are so they don’t repeat the mistakes of their mother and grandparents. I NOW BELIEVE I CAN AND DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. |

Title: Re: expose yourself Post by Hirvimaki on Nov 5th, 2004, 3:02pm My name is Paul-Baptiste Baca and I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico with my lovely wife of nine years, Kaisa Eveliina, and our daughter, Kaisa-Tinúviel Chiana. My parents still live in the house they lived in when I was born. My brother and his family live here in Albuquerque and my sister and her family live on a farm in eastern New Mexico. We have a very close family - I still go and have lunch with mom and dad at least three times a week. I was born in Albuquerque (April of 1971 - go Aries!) and raised by my two social-worker parents. I was a difficult child - or so I am told - but worth all the effort. ;) Though I have lived most of my life in Albuquerque, I have also lived on the Jicarilla Apache Reservation in northern New Mexico, in Oregon, LA, NY and in Finland and have visted just about every corner of the globe. I have a high IQ, but find the designation worthless. I was bored out of my mind in school - even though I went to private schools, including an international boarding school. I found great delight in tormenting the teachers I felt were obtuse parrots and I always liked picking on the kids who picked on the un-cool kids. I was never in a clique. I have always been "too smart" for my own good and while I was growing up I much preferred reading a dictionary or political treatise to all those kid things. I have always related better to people older than I am. I abhorred sports, both playing and watching, but have come to appreciate that not everyone who does enjoy sports is a moron. Until I developed an interest in 4-wheeling, I knew next to nothing about cars and couldn't tell the difference between an Audi and a Honda. I speak English (passably), Finnish, Spanish, German, and a spattering of Portuguese, French and Sindarin and wish that more people could converse in Latin. :) I have never had much direction in my life, but despite that I am passionate. I am an idealist and look suspiciously on anyone who is not. My idealism translates into the particular way I lead my life. I cannot believe something without living it. I love to argue. No, I love to argue. But when an argument degenerates into vitriol and spite I get disgusted - even when I am the one who falls into the trap. I love women. I lost my virginity at 12 and have lusted after women - especially baby-sitters with dark hair - ever since then. I tend to be vain and one might even characterize me as an egoist, but I work very hard at stepping out of that each and everyday. I was always the "cute guy" and thoroughly enjoyed my wild, decadent, hedonistic youth. When I was 16 I fell in love with the wrong girl. She was the most lovely, delicate seraph I had ever seen. And that visage hid the most malevolent, decayed psyche I have ever known. When things went sour - as they were fated to do - she ended our affair with a gun. Violence can be eloquent or it can be brutal, she was both. I spent a long time in the hospital. I was filled with anger after that and it took me a long time before I trusted women - though I still loved them. Enter my wife. I met my wife when I was 19. I was in Europe on an exchange and we met in a tiny little town where she lived. We became friends, pen-pals and as we got to know more and more about each other we grew to love one another. When the letters stopped being sufficient, we started calling, and when the first $400 phone bill arrived I realised I should just buy a plane ticket back to Finland. We visited back and forth for a couple of years and then one summer when she was in New Mexico visiting I asked her to marry me. She said yes and went back to Finland (the girl has quite a sense of humour). I did the only thing a boy in my position could do: I quit my job and bought a one-way ticket to Finland. I had no visa and only a backpack and a sense of purpose! Happily, I was not turned away at the border (that is another story) and we were married and lived happily in Finland for several years. We've been back here in New Mexico for quite some time and to my surprise she says it feels like home. I have worked in advertising, in the music industry, as a model, as a teacher and in graphic design. I currently work as a graphic designer for an engineering consultation firm in marketing and business development and I love it. I have had this corporate job for seven years now - amazing! My boss is the best boss and gives me great latitude in my job. He tries very hard to understand my CH - even going to the effort and expense of having all the fluorescent lights changed to full spectrum lighting in our office when he went to a conference and learned that poor lighting can often lead to headaches. I never felt like an adult until the day my daughter was born - so I am going on three weeks as an adult now! I am both scared and exhilarated at the prospect of showing my beautiful girl this world of ours. I'll end it there... Hirvimaki-Isi PS: Perhaps someday I will recount some of my adventures: being chased by a bull elephant, Venice Beach and why Hari Krishnas are scary, baking powder and Heathrow security, and why you should never steal a car in Finland. |

Title: Re: expose yourself Post by Linda_Howell on Nov 5th, 2004, 3:51pm I was born On Jan. 29th. in Chicago which means I share a Birthday with Oprah Winfrey and Tom Selleck. No need to tell you who I'd rather have at a party. I moved to So. Calif at the age of seven. (Burbank) I barely got through school as I was totally bored with shallow people there. How many giggling girls can one take before rigormortis sets in? So I did the next best thing to get me out of boredom...I got pregnant. At 17. And then went on to have 7 kids. Yes! Randy. I did learn what was causing them and yes, I am Catholic. Satisfied? (whew! Like I never heard that before right?) I tried to go to college and managed to for 2 years until Mr. Wonderful left too many imprints on my face, neck shoulders and back. He also told me I was only going to college to pick up guys. So I quit half-way through to getting my RN degree. Then I quit him. With my self-esteem and ego in the dirt I managed somehow to go , on to buy a house, go to school, start a housecleaning business which if I do say so myself I am VERY good at. The business end of it as well as the nitty-gritty part. I met a man I loved named Ernie and was with him for 11 years. He was my best friend, my love , my supporter, and my life. Then almost four yrs. ago he had the damned audacity to fucking die on me of a massive heart attack. But I went on. I became even more self-sufficient. Even More independant. Even more the bitch. Oh, I forgot I have had cluster headaches now for more than 17 yrs. I picked up a Godamned book and diagnosed them myself after I got over the idea I was having a brain tumor. Then I went and saw the best guy to officially diagnose me, Dr. Kudrow in So. Calif. I started out as episodic for a year or two, and have been chronic for about 15 yrs. My life as it is right this second is not pretty and would sound like a soap-opera so I will spare you. I am a "pleaser" type of personality with episodes of get-it-yourself-MF-er. I am 5'1" and right now about 96 pounds(normal 105) I can be a real bitch or your best-friend depending on what a friend needs me to be. I was never as insecure in my life as I am these days. Linda, who is thankful for the purging here. P.S. Thomas, after reading what you said about yourself, I have only one thing to say. "what a crock of bull-shit" ;) |

Title: Re: expose yourself Post by K-9 on Nov 6th, 2004, 2:56am Well, here goes.....My name is Chuck Warden. I was born on October 11, 1973 in Kansas City, KS. I moved to Naperville, IL. in 1985. Growing up I had a very loving and stable home life, very normal. I've been practicing Martial Arts since I was 10 years old and I think it's really the only thing I'm good at. My parents divorced when I was 18 and I still have a great relationship with both of them, talking with them weekly. I have a sister who is 3 years older than me and is my daily support. (btw, she is on here everyday but doesn't post so she knows all of you, say hi to her if you'd like!!!) I married my high school sweetheart at the age of 22, bought a house and got a job as a manager of a Sherwin Williams Paint store. I began having Clusters at around the age of 20 so the marriage and the job were very difficult. I opened up a Martial Arts studio with a partner who was my Grandmaster at the time (sort of a mr myagi thing) and I finally felt in control of my life. Then the marriage began falling apart, my so called partner was stealing from me (somewhere in the neighborhood of $25,000) which also put financial stress on the marriage, not to mention my dissappointment cuz if you can't trust one of your most highly respected role models, who can you trust? I left the partnership and began my own company teaching Martial Arts at Childcare ctrs and schools, wherever I can get an audience of children, really. (hey Vig, we have a class at the Argonne childhood development center and at three different Montessori schools!!! I think I've seen your picture you posted) I thought this going out on my own would help regain my wife's respect but I think it was too late, she and I separated in 2001 and have since divorced. I don't have any children but I have Moonie and Rocky, I like to call them my dual K-9 unit. I met a Dance instructor and we've been together for a couple of years and are now engaged. I don't think I'm the easiest person to live with. My fiance is a very understanding and tolerant person so I'm pretty sure I have the right person so I can be me. Who is me now? I am a person of extremes, I Love alot, I hate alot. I am very frustrated, I am very content. If I love you, I WILL give my life for you but if someone crosses me, I would take their's. I love puppies and I hate mean people and I always stick up for the underdog. My glass is always half full cuz I know EVERYTHING is temporary. When things are good, I cherish, when they are bad, I know it won't last. I came into this thing by myself with nothing but my birthday suit and I'm going out the same way. In between, well, Happiness is a temporary state of contentment in which I am able to maintain most of the time. I love teaching, especially children. If you saw me teach, and the look on my face when a child "gets" something that they struggled with and I'm able to help them, you would know the real me. It's that reflection that the children give to me and it is only then that I am able to show the same excitement and innocence. I am proud of the way I teach, I am proud of my Black belt, I am proud that I NEVER take out frustration of CH on people who are close to me. If I have to tell them why I'm crabby, then that's it, but this isn't their fault. I hate CH, I hate doctors, despite what some have said in here, they HAVEN'T helped me. I've done the IV histimine drip twice and have spent about as much as Unsolved in doing so and I too had the HA within a week. I am currently not on any meds, and I feel better overall about that. I've learned that no body is perfect and by default we are all perfect, "I am perfect because I never make a mistake knowingly". I am very self-aware and if I know of a flaw, I want to change it. I believe we have a lifetime to do something and we should be always trying to be our best. I want to be more confident, a little less sensitive, and a little more intelligent (to keep up with the likes of Floridian, hirv, jeep and few others) I'm not stupid by any means but like my sister said after reading a few threads, "Geeze, reading these guys makes me feel like I need to crack a book once in a while!!" I agree, so thank you to you guys for pushing and leading me with that. Thank you to Bluemeanie and Callicokid for reaching out to me when I first found this place. Thanks to the "milwaukee" gang for making my first meeting a good one (you guys know who you are you polka band lovers you) and I know I'm going to miss a few names here so forgive me, but also, thanks to Jonny and gang for toughening me up a little as this whole thin skinned thing was one of those "flaws" that I am currently working on and you guys came along at the right time to help me with that. Jeep, you crack me up, as do so many of you. And thank you to all who support each other here. As I read, and hurt, I know this place and you guys are here which is a comfort during those temporary discontent times. I hope you all enjoyed reading this as much as I did yours, many smiles, laughs and a few tears for you all as well!!! Chuck P.S. Hey Jonny, with the proper training in flexibility and technique we could get the "boot in the ass" thing a little higher like snapping a boot upside the head!! ;;D |

Title: Re: expose yourself Post by Jimmy_B on Nov 6th, 2004, 8:28am My name is James Marshall Bassett. I prefer Jimmy, cause James sounds too standoffish & Jim is kinda boring. I live in Levittown, Pa. which is a town in Bucks County about 10 miles northeast of Philadelphia & 2 miles west of Trenton, N.J. I work two jobs...both in Physical Security. Main job is at a large Pharmaceutical Company near Princeton, N.J. & the other is a Historic Hotel in Princeton. I also free-lance in Surveillance. I am currently going for my Private Detective License. I'm married, with two wonderful supporters...Barbara (my wife) & Jessica (my 17 year old Daughter). I'm 39 y/o, exactly 6' tall & weigh in at 190. Brown hair & Brown eyes. I've had a few people tell me I look like Jim Belushi, but I don't see it. ;;D I was in the US Navy from 1987 to 1991. Went to Boot Camp in San Diego & was stationed on the USS Missouri in Long Beach, Ca. Was involved in Operation Earnest Will as well as Operation Desert Storm. Received an Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, Sea Service Medal, & Good Conduct Medal. I am a "Golden Shellback" which in sailor terms means I have sailed across the equator at the internation dateline. I'm very intense. I am an intensely loyal friend, however if I am stabbed in the back, I will spend the rest of my life planning revenge. I started having Episodic Clusters when I was 15 y/o. Diagnosed by a wonderful Doctor (Andrew Cuttone), when I was about 23. I don't like taking Preventatives because they seem to lengthen the cycle. Also, will not take triptans due to side effects. I prefer to let the cycle take it's course. I have always gotten the Clusters on the right side. Jimmy |

Title: Re: expose yourself Post by Tetris-addict on Nov 6th, 2004, 12:02pm There but for the grace of God....can sum up my life. When in 3rd grade I was almost abducted from my Elementary School. Luckily I had a friend with me, and she knew her safety rules....and we ran away from the strange guy in the car asking us to ride along and direct him to the local 7-11.... Other than that, I have had a boring, protected, and generally happy life (Considering I moved 14 times in 7 years...and wasn't even in the army.... My Mom had a baaad case of Wanderlust....and considering I wasn't a cheerleader in high school...wink) Farthest West I've been = Chicago Farthest South - mile 0 on US1 (Key Largo, FL) Farthest North = (Canada um north of Toronto) Farthest East = Toss up = Baltimore or CApe May (not so good at geography since Zomig) Highest = Mt. Killington in Vermont Lowest = first k 10 on the pain scale you know in psych 101 I learned about how some people live theri life thinking "I'm okay, and you'r okay" but I am more like the type that says "you're okay, but I am not" Because I can forgive others a whole heck of a lot better than I can forgive myself. I always figure I should have known better.... done better...you know? But I am working on it. I also get slammed from out of the blue with "deja vue" often. I even knew Bush would be re-elected.... without commenting on if that is a good or bad thing. I still think it's is scary to have a deja vue and wonder where the visions come from.... in a way, I think in the future we develop a form of time travel, and come back a stop ourselves from making gigantic mistakes. other times I figure I have a brain defect (like a CD skip while playing a game. Star Trek may have something with the hallogram vacations after all....wink) Either way, greatful for the website, and brokenhearted that we have to go thru this "annoying" disease. |

Title: Re: expose yourself Post by Bethany1 on Nov 6th, 2004, 6:03pm Hi Everyone--My name is Bethany Rosa. Most people call me Beth or Boo (my nickname from softball). I was born 8/2/74 in Attleboro, Massachusetts and now live just 5 mins north of Boston, Massachusetts. I just got married on September 25, 2004 to a great guy (no kids yet!). We met online through a dating service. ;;D When I was a kid I always wanted to be someone that made a difference in the community or the world. My parents got divorced when I was 6, and my mother became an alcoholic for 10 years after that. So, my brother and I sort of raised eachother. I love my parents, they made their mistakes, but through it all, they always loved us. There was never any doubt of that. Anyways, I work for a quasi state/city agency that promotes affordable housing to people that are in the low/mod income bracket. (up here the low/mod is 46,300 for a single person) rediculous, I know. So we have our work cut out for us, but we manage to get first time homebuyers into new homes, apartments for families, and social services for the people that need it. I started getting headaches when I was in college, about 1994. I moved to Florida then and worked at Disney World thru an internship in college. The headaches didn't stop. They still continue on....but so does life, right? And now here I sit on this website gaining more and more knowledge and meeting facinating people from all over the world. You all are so unique, and boy do I laugh!!!! Well, Im off now.... thats me in a nutshell I guess. I wish you all pain free days and nights. cheers! Beth |

Title: Re: expose yourself Post by Melissa on Nov 6th, 2004, 8:31pm Alright, I didn't want to get involved in this thread, but here goes... My name is Melissa Kay Filtz. I'm 30 years old (born August 17, 1974 at 7:31pm), 5'7" and about 155lbs. I have brown hair and hazel eyes. I am married to Jesse, who I think is the greatest man in the world for me. We'll be married for 7 yrs on Jan. 30th, 2005. I met him when I was 3 months pregnant with our daughter Lily, who is 10 yrs old, and we have a son Elijah, who is 1 yr and 4 months old. My family is the joy and center of my life. My mom was married 3 times. Her first husband was Jim (my biological father), who would beat on her. He was, I think, 7 yrs her senior and had been in the Vietnam war. The thing that sticks out in my mind the most, is him holding my wrists super tight (after they divorced) while I was on my knees, because I got caught snooping, with me crying asking him not to hurt me and he said to me, "You know what? You look just like your mother". They divorced when I was 2 yrs old. My second dad was named Tim (Timothy), and he was mean. He was an alcoholic and would throw mom to the floor a lot when we'd come home from grandma and grandpas in the evening. He'd use a large wooden paddle on my butt when I would feed my peas to my dog (cause they'd make me gag). Mom filed for divorce papers when we were at grandma & grandpas when I had to take a bath and grandma saw my backside. My butt was black, blue and deep red/purple from broken blood vessels. They were only married a year. Last was my dad Tom (Thomas). Mom and him were married for 16yrs before my mom died of breast cancer in 2001. He adopted me so I got his last name when I was about 12 yrs old. He never laid a hand on me, but was also an alcoholic and drug addict. He quit drinking for 5 yrs before mom died, but went back to it about a week after her funeral. I hear from him now probably once every 3 months. He had 2 kids from his first marriage who live with him now out of town. Anyway, I have no siblings, was an only child. I had tried suicide on a few occasions when I was a teen, but thankfully it didn't work. I have only hit someone one time, and I never did it to anyone again, because that one time cost me $1200 in chiroprator bills for a dislocated jaw. I live out in the country in a beautiful home that my husband, his dad and brothers built. I can't stand whiners and complainers, I am an optomist and ex-smoker, although I WILL smoke when at a bar drinking, which is like maybe once every 4-5 months, lol. I think I have a good sense of humor, I believe life is too short to worry about little things and I am afraid to die. I am a deep thinker, I like anthropology, archeology, philosophy and shopping. According to hubby, I am right almost all the time, but he only admitted it once and he says he will never again (LOL). I am a perfume freak and an awesome cook when I feel like cooking. I have a weird tendency to feel others pain and joy and can easily place myself in someone elses shoes and see their side of things. I am awesome under pressure, yet lazy and aloof when things are going well. Once I set my mind on something, I don't give up until I either get it, or it happens (depends on what it is I want). I also beat myself up a lot because I think I deserve it. Well, there's more, but I'm sure ya'll are tired of hearing about me for now! [smiley=laugh.gif] :)mel |

Title: Re: expose yourself Post by Jeepgun on Nov 8th, 2004, 11:44am Wonderful stories from wonderful people... Mel, I'm glad your suicide attempt was unsuccessful. (Hell, now that I think of it, I'm glad my attempts were unsuccessful too!) Life just keeps on getting better and better... :) [smiley=hug.gif] |

Title: Re: expose yourself Post by nani on Nov 8th, 2004, 12:12pm Well I'm glad all of our suicide attempts were unsuccessful. My first attempt was at age 8 (mooshie's age!) when I tried to hang myself. My mother caught me and said everyone attempts suicide, but it is a sin and I should go confess. I went to confession, and the priest totally humiliated me by yelling about how suicide is a mortal sin and I would go to hell... I guess it's good I was a girl...if I was an 8 year old boy, he probably would have told me that blowing him was my penance! I call myself a "recovering" catholic... :) |

Title: Re: expose yourself Post by nani on Nov 8th, 2004, 12:44pm I'm glad for you Paul. I still find a great deal of comfort by the rituals of the church. I will go light candles in times of trouble, I sometimes go to mass "just because". When I'm praying in church though, it's not all those prayers I had to memorize... it's just to say THANKS to God just for being there. It's also important for me to say that not all of my experiences with the church have been negative - in fact, the nuns at school were a HUGE positive influence on me. I found being Catholic limiting and constraining. I have always tried to have a very open mind about God. In many ways, my faith in God has saved my life...never doubted once that if He put me here then I was WORTH something. :) |
