It's ok for you to complain and be upset about your pain and needing a walker. I have people in my life who will complain to me about something and then immediately apologize to me for complaining when I'm going through so much. It doesn't bother me at all when they do that. Just because I did something stupid, fell off a roof and messed myself up doesn't mean that other people can't complain to me about their issues. Like I said, just because I have it bad doesn't make their or your pain any less. I know there are people who have it worse than I do, I'm able to get out of my wheelchair sometimes but there are so many people who can't get out of theirs. Complain away! I just get so damn mad when I'm given a hard time about my medications. My own Dr doesn't give me a hard time because she knows what I'm going through but other doctors always lecture me about what I take. I truly wish that these doctors could live with my pain for a day, if they did I think they'd be a lot more compassionate and understanding. People like Leah gave given these meds such a stigma that people automatically assume that anybody who needs the pills are addicts who just want to get high. I take them because I can't have any kind of life without them. I take a time released pain medicine every morning no matter what and I have norco for breakthrough pain. I still have a lot of pain when I take them so I thought they didn't work and decided a few months ago to stop taking them. I realized really fast that they do work really good, I was in so much pain without them that I couldn't think straight. I live in fear that the addicts will make it so hard that I'll no longer be able to get them.

I'm watching an old episode today, it's the one with Zander and his horrible mother. The irony of Zander's 350 pound mom with her quadruple chins talking about how important it is to be attractive made me laugh and laugh. I guess that applies to everyone except her. She was one of the worst "moms" I've seen on this show and that's saying a lot. This episode also had a little girl named Carissa. In the beginning of the episode when they show them at home, this little girl's dad actually said the words "shake your booty for daddy" to his three year old daughter. Disgusting.

That's fantastic that he's heartworm free! I'm always so happy to hear that a rescue is happy and healthy in their new lives. Damn, I'm feeling even more guilty now about going through a breeder! @VMepicgrl, I've put in applications for puppies at the rescues and for every one puppy they get at least 50 applications. Even though I may feel some guilt, I'm going for my puppy. I'm going with my brother this weekend to check out a litter. I have rescued dogs, I saved my baby Kaylee from being put down, I donate to the shelters/rescues three times a year and before my accident I volunteered at my local shelter. I think I'll be forgiven for getting my pup. I really hope you guys don't think less of me for going to a breeder. In my situation I need a dog that I've trained myself, I can't run after a dog if it decides to chase something so I need a dog that I know will come when called, with my other puppy all I had to do was softly say his name and point and he would come and sit wherever I pointed. Kaylee was a GREAT girl but she didn't listen to me, if she was doing something she wanted to do she would flat out ignore me if I called her. I'm actually really excited about getting a new baby. I need something to keep me busy and as stupid as it may sound, I need to feel needed again.

I feel so bad for the MC of this pageant, poor thing lost her hairbrush and had to go on TV with such messy hair. Why didn't this woman run a brush through that mess?

I can tell you for sure that Chrissie Hynde is a complete and total bitch. I can also tell you that Ice T and Coco are two of the sweetest, kindest people I've ever met in my life. I was with them a lot when I worked at a snooty hotel in San Francisco and I was assigned to be their bitch. They never let me work and insisted I join them in meals and when they went out. It was a pretty good gig to be paid to hang out with them. And Ice is hilarious.

I will be on pain medicine for the rest of my life, I've had six spinal surgeries in three years and have more scheduled for next year. People like Leah make it damn near impossible for those of us who need these meds to function to get them. I don't take the pills to get high, I take them so I can get out of bed in the morning and maybe have a little time out of my wheelchair during the day. Abusers like Leah give the rest of us a bad name and it pisses me off. Any time I'm given a hard time over my medications it pisses me off all over again.

Thanks @dleighg. Whatever happened to whole words? I miss them.

I agree with this but what is a BTDT?

@DeLurker, I love that you took the kitty for a ride! My cat is terrified of the big bad outdoors. She used to try to get out the front door all the time, she ran out one day before I could grab her. She's such a sissy, she was on the porch and when she turned the corner and saw how big it is outside she ran right back in and hasn't tried to get out since. I don't know if she thought the outside would have rooms like the inside or what but she didn't like what she saw when she finally made it out. I swore I would NEVER do this again but I'm seriously considering getting a puppy. I haven't raised a puppy since I got my Harley in 2000 but I think I'm ready again. I've loved all of my animals so much but there's nothing like having a puppy that I myself trained in the way I want them trained. With Harley all I had to do was snap my fingers and point and he would go sit wherever I pointed. He could do so much, he would close the front door if I said "mamas cold", he could open the refrigerator and get a soda, I would tell him something once and he did it immediately. I have plenty of open space for puppy exercise, I can use my ATV to walk/run it around the property and I can throw a ball or Frisbee from my wheelchair. This isn't a spur of the moment decision, I've been thinking about it for a while now and my husband said it's my decision and he'd back me either way. I know they're a lot of work but I have nothing but time on my hands and I've already figured out a lot of different ways to exercise it. The only drawback is that I feel guilty for going to a breeder instead of rescuing again. All of my dogs except for Harley were rescues. The breeder is the same one I got my Harley from and if I didn't know the breeder's reputation I would do extensive research to make sure I found a good one. Why do I feel so guilty for even thinking of not rescuing?

@TattleTeeny, I have the newer I Love Lucy board game but the one I mentioned is from 1952 and has Lucy and Ricky on the box. I would play either Lucy game with you. Your costume sounds great, I'd have loved to see that. I don't have the imagination to think of something like that. When my daughter was younger one of her friends once asked me which was my favorite Lucy episode, my daughter yelled "NO! don't ask her that!!!!" and I turned around and recited the entire Vitameatavegamin commercial. That's not my actual favorite one though. I have my granddaughter loving Lucy now too. I do have a semi peeve. I was in the store today and heard a woman say "I literally need a ton of candy for the trick or treaters". I was in a mood and told her she'll probably need a forklift for 2000 pounds of candy.

Im the same way with my Lucy collection. I get so much Lucy stuff that is mass produced but I prefer the older, vintage stuff. I have I Love Lucy paper dolls from the '50s, an I Love Lucy board game, and every TV Guide Lucille Ball was on and that's the stuff I prefer. I don't want a tea pot shaped like Lucy's head that they made a million of. I am very appreciative that somebody thought enough to give me anything and I display the gifts I'm given but my preference is older vintage Lucy. I'm trying to post a picture of my Lucy collection but it keeps saying it's too big. I don't have everything unpacked and that's my only picture with almost my whole collection.

I've been looking and can't find any updates on the baby. I broke a rib once a long time ago and every time I sneezed, coughed, moved the wrong way or even tried to breathe, the pain was unbearable. I can't imagine a tiny, innocent baby going through that. I don't condone violence but I hope this woman gets the shit beat out of her by the other girls.

I have this same problem. I've been collecting butterflies since I was in 8th grade and got my first one as a gift. I have a lot of butterfly stuff. People will give me anything that has a butterfly on it and I mean ANYTHING. I've been gifted with pictures of them torn out of magazines, broken figurunes and all kinds of weird things. I'm very grateful that people care enough about me to do this and I sincerely thank them but I have a big box of broken butterfly...stuff that I feel bad getting rid of but cant use. Religious people: The mother of my first husband (the abuser who died when my kids were babies) was the most religious person I've ever met, church every day, Bible study all the time, huge picture of her god in every room of her house, wrote for a local religion magazine and hosted a Sunday radio show about, you guessed it, her god. She was also the biggest racist I've ever met in my life. When my kids were little our neighbors and best friends were a black family from Louisiana (I wrote about my friend Lisa being murdered by having gasoline poured on her and set on fire). Our friends lived across the driveway at our condo complex. One day my mother in law came to visit and as she was leaving my friends were coming home and they came to meet her. The look of contempt on her face embarrassed me so much. She had that look on her face, refused to shake their hands and got in her car and left. When she got home a few hours later, thankfully she lived far away, she called me and told me off. Told me I was a horrible person and mother for allowing my kids to associate with "those people". She was the worst person I've ever known and she did it all with a sickly sweet smile on her racist face.

@Babalu, it took me longer than a minute when I first saw it.

I went to a zoo today but it wasn't very good, they only had one dog there. It was a Shih Tzu.

Hm. Now I know what they mean about a person getting so angry they see red, because I just saw red. Sickening. I hope the inmates beat that bitch to death. And I hope the "father" shows up on the men's side and he also gets beaten to death.

My god she's such a horrible bitch. I wish he would sue her ass over these allegations. I'd love to see him take every penny she has and I'd love him livibg in the house that their children worked for. I swear, this asshole should consider herself lucky that I don't live anywhere near her because I think if I ever saw her I would beat the holy hell out of her.

That and while everyone is complaining about how horribly hot it is, Harriet is wearing a sleeper, wrapped in a blanket with a hat on her head.

Maybe Cate also thinks she looks like a "quirky flapper elf" when she wears it.

You guys, I'm scared. The holidays are coming and I don't want to throw my TV out of my window if that annoying ass Big Lots woman is back again this year. I'm already seeing Xmas commercials so I know she's coming and I'm skeered.

But how do you know they're "lovely and down to earth" when they were shown for all of 6 minutes? Even the worst of the worst can fake it for a few minutes. We know NOTHING about his family. If there's a division with Kroy and his family, that's on him not Kim.

I hate the all white kitchen trend. I must be an oddball because I prefer dark wood cabinets in my kitchen. Every kitchen on these shows these days are white, white, white and I hate them. I would be the homeowner who wanted the exact opposite of what most of them want. I want individual rooms not one great big room, I don't need a giant sized master bathroom and I don't want a white damn kitchen!

I'm sorry about these quote boxes. I can't get rid of them. I have never thought stay at home mom meant a family was wealthy. I was a stay at home mom and wasn't wealthy by any means. I just chose to make sacrifices so I could be home to raise my kids. It can be done even if a person isn't wealthy. I knew that jobs would always be there but my kids would only be little once so I scrimped and sacrificed so I could be the one to raise them. They're grown now and their favorite childhood memories are of the times we had at home so it was totally worth it to me.

I'll add: No, I don't want a white kitchen.

I'm confused, how does this girlfriend being a single mom explain why Ryan took Bentley to a water park? I'd think Maci's wedding was nicer if it hadn't been filmed for the show. That just rubs me wrong for some reason. Chelsea seems to be the only one who wants a real marriage, the rest just seen to want a TV wedding.
