Does the pup need to be a Boston Terrier? I’ve had much luck with the lab/pit/? mix.

Miracles occur with conceptions these days, y’know. I have many stories stored up along this line if you ever want to hear them all to ease a bit of anxiety.

Hi! I found you at Amalah’s place – sorry to hear about the bug-bitten nether regions (sucks – I recall my first chicken poc was in my, ah, crotchal region and boy did that SUCK!). Any rate, just wanted to say hey from California, sympathize with the cat-owning, thyroid plauged, dog (substitute for baby) lusting life. On the opposite coast, but… many similarities. Come round chock late sometime if you get a sec – ya?

Gah! I’m sorry, but my hoo-hoo was wincing in sympathy at that description! Bug bites are the worst, especially in the more *tender* regions. I’d address the rest, but all your other lovely posters have expressed anything I might have intended to, and probably better!

Anxiety sucks, pure and simple. Ever since I experienced my first full-on panic attack at 19 (in which I thought I was having a STROKE and “collapsed” on the lawn of a complete stranger on Christmas Day) I’ve struggled to find the good in it. And meshed with hormones, PMS and the like – hellish and beyond.

But you know, you are turning it into a positive when it compels you to sit down and write, explore in a verbal medium what is happening. I don’t think that can ever be a bad thing. Not to put a gloss on the actual state of anxiety and the behaviors it provokes – because it bears repetition to state that it sucks – but be proud in the notion that you are duking it out and winning when you put it down on paper. I think it’s great.

Sistah, you’re not a freak. This is not a contest that I want to win, but believe me when I tell you that if I showed people the real me, the me that lurks just beneath the surface, I would be locked up. You’re alright – everyone has a bad day.

Get a pup and smother it with love. At least dogs don’t grow up and hate you and never speak to you again – right?

Feel better!

If it makes you feel any better, my aunt was once in this situation – her hubby got the Harley and she got pregnant. Then everyone is wondering why in the world they got the Harley – where are they gonna put the baby?! lol

How bossy of me, huh? The cyberversion of kicking wastebaskets!

In 2.0 anyway (and LOL, I’m sure you’ve noticed that WP is on 2.1 already),

Life is a highway, I wanna ride it all night long …

Pretty good synopsis of life, that song. Kudos to you for recognizing it.

I’m sending a great big hug for you Jonna. I know just what it’s like to be 1) PMSing 2) having lots of irrational anxiety (I suffered with this for most of my life, so believe me, I KNOW) 3) stressing about whether to have kids or not and when 4)worrying that my obsessing about my pets was a poor substitute for having human kids.

I hope you feel better soon. And I think it would be so l if you guys got a Harley and matching leather chaps! Love, KM
