GNE, I can officially say that you are NOT Debbie Downer because I take that title hands down!
Besides, you're too cool to be a Debbie Downer!
*runs across thread to give GNE a hug* You've had a rough week and it's okay to get stuff off your chest. My therapist has been working with me on dealing with emotion rather than stuffing it away until it explodes later on, so i'm all about venting. Bring it on! We're here for you!
bac, my mom used to get like that when i would call and tell her that there was something wrong with me. It broke my heart. For example, when I told her that i had been hospitalized briefly because an eating disorder she was furious! Her first reaction was: "We are not paying good money for food to feed the toilet! We won't feed you when you come home if you insist on keeping up this foolishness." Don't get me wrong, I love my mom, and we've got a great relationship now, but things were bad. I finally called her on it once and she said that she wasn't mad at me, she was frustrated and sad for me because I had been going through so many problems, she didn't understand them, and she didn't know how to make things better for me.

spooky, you get a hug just cuz you're my superTwinnie
BSL you get a hug because you rock and we both know what it's like to be on the other end of the "well, you can always adopt" conversation.
aw, heck...everyone gather round cuz i'm giving
hugs to everyone today. I think we all need to stop and just give each other a hug because we deserve it. I am in the presence of the most wonderful women i've ever "met" and I take great strength in these wonderful (albeit sometimes heavy) conversations.
I think my Grinchy heart has been warmed and my usual bah humbug is now a big "aww, i love you!"
I've been in a great mood all day. one of my co-workers managed to find the Twilight calendar for me! Merry Christmas to me!
Oh yes, for those who are uncomfortable with hugs, i extend my hand for a firm handshake, and for the germ-phobic, i nod my head admiringly in your direction.
EDIT: I just realized that i excluded the men from this. Vampman, Misfit, and anyone else i've missed, YOU GUYS ROCK!
