Life Goes On…..

Numb to real thoughts or emotions. I’m OK with writing silly stuff that doesn’t matter at all in the long run. But, the part of my mind, soul, heart, etc. that means anything is gone/hiding/killed/abducted or something.

And…..”deep breath”……I have kept this to myself because it is the nature of my beast. I had an x-ray for bronchitis and pneumonia when I went to the doc a few weeks ago. I got a call from the x-ray tech on Monday, who said that the doc needed to re-do it because he saw something “suspicious”. I’m scared shitless but have been too stubborn and too set in my “don’t ask, don’t tell” way of life to tell anyone. My x-ray is scheduled for Thursday. I tried my best to wrangle info from the tech, but, damn, she was good…..kept “the code”…..not much info from her.

I’m really sad that I haven’t been here. I come and……nothing. I’m empty. I’m waiting. That’s how I would describe my life now…..waiting.

I sit at night…….reminding myself of an old person in a nursing home with no visitors. No visitors because she shut them all out when younger. Or, maybe, she was that mean ol’ neighborhood woman that all the kids were afraid of. Waiting. Waiting is mean sumabitch. Especially, when you don’t really know what you are waiting for.

Come join me. Will make a new club. COTNF……Club of The Non-Feeling. Our motto could be….”Go ahead, try to hurt us, assholes! Aha! GOTCHA! We don’t feel!!!!”

We, all the BP Chicks, are great masters. Masters of our own music. Masters of our own art.

The music of numbness. The art of hiding it.

Where’s are our fucking awards? I want a goddamn statue for my mantle.

We are the audience of life.

If a bipolar fell in a forest, would she make a noise?

OK…now, I’m talking crazy. But, who gives a shit? There’s crazier stuff than this on blogs.

Thousands of people have died in China and Burma. This takes up a lot of my thoughts. How many of them will not be missed? That’s what I ask myself. If I were laying under a building in China, who would look for me? How long would they look?

Sometimes, I feel like I am laying under a building in China.

And, sometimes I wish that I were.

Crapola! I had no intention of coming here and writing this shitty, depressing post.

I’m going to shower and think about whether I should delete this sob story or not.

I do think of you often, D. I’m just unable to………

unable to……

FUCK IT! I want a roller coaster ride. I want to go to the petting zoo. Where’s the ticket booth?

Why did Mel Gibson take Brit-Brit on vacation? Not fair. He should have taken us! Bastard!!!!

“editing to add”

These late nite sittings are going to put me in the poor house. I’ve “adopted” to kids from Africa. It will be quite different for me to have a child who will eat willingly. UN-PC…..you bet’cha. I’ve sent money to World Vision. I think I’m trying to buy a good conscience. But, hey, at least I’m not buying a bunch of crap on infomercials. But, at the rate I’m going, I’ll be the proud parents of a small village before long.

    the other night, I took two Ambien to try to sleep… and I posted an Ambien post in the f..arm… (remember those?) incoherent posts? misspelled words… But in the midst of all that… what was I lamenting? I was lamenting the “loss” of my dear friend, UM! That’s right. I was lamenting the loss of YOU, hon. I was sorrowful that you don’t “come round” the f…arm much anymore… that I can’t and don’t wanna do it without you…. (here come the tears)…. sure… it was an incoherent post… but it was coherent enough for me to know that what I was saying… was that I MISS you… and I LOVE you… and I WISH and MISS the old f…arm where we used to frolic and play and just shoot the shit and have a great time getting in trouble with the establishment!

    I’m worried for you, my dear friend. This “something” on the x-ray… your now self-established monk-like life where you hideaway by yourself (yeah, you’re right…. I just had a Topamax moment… couldn’t think of the right “word” to use there) :( and the overall sadness I hear in your “voice”… makes me worry for you. And, so, I do. But…. it does me no good to worry…. so I’ll continue to do as I have done for five years…. make you laugh, make you cry… and… Stand by you. ((((((UM))))))

    if you need me, my friend… I am here.

  2. “I’ve “adopted” two kids from Africa. It will be quite different for me to have a child who will eat willingly.”

    That’s some funny shit right there.

    Mel is a fuckin asshole. Thanks Mel. Leave us here. We stand up for Brit (sorta) and all we get is nothin.
    (I knew nothing about this…just the thought of Mel taking someone on a vacation because they are bipolar pissed me off)

    “I want a roller coaster ride. I want to go to the petting zoo. Where’s the ticket booth?”
    ah…dude, we can plan mayhem RFQ ya know. (How’s late summer sound to you…early fall?) Take a chance on us, ya only live once. You won’t be disappointed…and no more B.S. about us being let down…you know that is carp. I’m callin ya out on that. I’ve tlaked to you. You are awesome. We clicked “just_like_that” Just like “here…and the f…arm” it’s no different. better.
    There’s probably more fun out there to be had beyond the carnival rides, petting zoos and Home Depot. We all just have to go find it. Make the time, grow the balls..whatever. ya know?

    “No visitors because she shut them all out “
    Do not end up like me god-dammit. don’t.

  3. Hey UM, I feel like I am somewhat intruding between old friends, but please come back and play at the farm, really, we need a little more of you guys there to break the rules and post shit…….even though there are no rules. I can make some up if you want to break some? Does that help?
    I am sorry you are not feeling well, you are not alone. I wish there was something more I could do for you, but we are all here, we got your back. I am ‘new’ to the group of farmerzzz, not so new to the group of no feelings…..I am right on the edge of needing to up my dose to ease the roller coaster ride, but even though it hurts, I still like to be able to feel something….even if it is pain and fear and shit and stuff. I forgot where I was going with this, I do know I was on my way to bed and my sleepmeds have kicked in a while ago. I bet this post makes no sense at all…. Carry on (((((UM))))))
    Me (aka Hope)

  4. Come play UM…it’ll do ya good…see? Look at Hope…now there’s a project in the making! :D Since when has she sworn like that? Imagine what good you can do there for sweet, innocent…. *sniff - sniff* Hope. :shifty:

  5. Sorry it took me so long to come back.

    I’ve been pre-occupied. Since, I am 98% positive that I’m gonna be getting a diagnosis of terminal illness after the x-ray, I’ve been busy trying to beat Angelina or Madonna in adopting orphans from strange countries. Since, I can’t impress my own kids, it’s reassuring to know that some kids somewhere are considering me to be their heroine. Also, checking to see if I can claim them as dependents on taxes.

    OK….I’m bullshitting about the tax part. I haven’t done that just yet.

    Hope just wants me to come to the f…arm and say stuff like “Fuck everything!”

    On the bright side. M bought me something that I don’t have….a Holy Mother Mary toast stamper. Will I go to Hades for eating MM toast?

    Where’s WN? Tell him to come and talk dirty here and I’ll come to the f….arm! (Actually, I will anyway but don’t tell him that). Tell him that we can put all of our brats together and form the Brady Bunch now.

  6. Half the time, I feel invisible around these parts…. can’t quite put my finger on it…. but I just want you to know…. You need not worry about ME feeling “let down” if and ever when we meet…. I have no “high” expectations of anyone, ((((UM))))), I “know” my girls… I LOVE my girls…. old and new friends… I don’t “expect” anything of anyone…. Yes.. I DO want to meet face to face… but my “reasons” are NOT to judge… they are to finally THANK each and every one of you for saving my life… in the past, NOW, and in the future. I love you all. NOTHING and NO ONE could or ever would change that. And I KNOW I’ll NEVER be let down by anyone. Because I have no expectations. I KNOW you all. INSIDE… where it counts.

    And that’s ALL that matters to me.
    You guys are all that matter to me.

    I got your back(s).

    Cat

  7. yeah-what she said.

    What is that Ferris Bueller quote my friend K said to me once?
    You’re not dying, you just cant think of anything good to do. -or something like that. (it’s been awhile since I’ve watched that movie)

    (((UM)))

  8. Worst-case scenario: You lose a testicle.

    (((((((UM))))))) Sorry about that. I wanted to make myself laugh. It worked. And you are gonna be fine, if not, I’ll make you fine.

    So your worst case scenario is now West Nile coming to the Booger Woods with a crock of macaroni & cheese.

  9. Bring some strong drink with the m&c.

    I’m just being a Debbie Downer. wah wah wah

    The good thing, WN, is if everybody got together, you could prove who you say you are by droppin’ your drawers. LOL

  10. *forms a circle around WN* starts the clapping….. *no… NOT the claps* *looks sternly at UM*

  11. OMG strip poker with WNile in the Booger Woods. Would this also involve a drum circle & a ball gag? (oh hey, : idea : will you dress up as Mr. Malfoy too? pretty please?)

    *sorry-have not laughed in 2 days-desperate times*

  12. I’m insanely laughing at everything like a drooling village idiot.

  13. d, took me awhile to realize that smiley was a light bulb. I thought you were presenting me with your backdoor.

  14. : idea : came out lookin like that….I’ll go edit…looks icky.
    Plus….someone else has left the building…this post will self destruct in 3-2-1 <— hint
    *I kill me*

  15. Uhhh………what?

  16. PM on the way over at the f…arm *skulks out*

    Last night was a full moon btw,

  17. Tomorrow is X-RAY day. Wish me luck.

    I, also, am going to a funeral. A friend from church died. She was a really, fantastic lady.

    Be back tomorrow nite hopefully.

  18. ****paces back and forth****

  19. They sent the x-ray off to a doctor in Morgantown. Still in the dark.

    After doc appt, had to go to a funeral.

    After funeral, I found out that my great-aunt died. So, another funeral.

    “gloom, despair, and agony on me
    deep dark depression
    excessive misery
    if it weren’t for bad luck
    I’ve have no luck at all”

    Debbie Downer….that’s me…wah wah wah

  20. in between strip poker and the circle ritual… please keep us posted about the w-ray, ok, ((((UM)))))?

    please?

  21. that would be X-ray, not W-ray…. jeez….

  22. HeeHee I was wondering what a w-ray was.

  23. who said ’strip’ means anything
    xoxo UM.

  24. Hey UM, any news on the x-ray? *sits and waits with the rest of us*

  25. no news?

  26. no…..probably sometime this week

    “crosses fingers”
    “hope to die, stick a needle in my eye”

    A needle in my eye might be a good distraction ’bout right now. This friggin’ waiting for something else is for the birds.
    I’ve spent waaaaay to much time waiting for……I dunno….who knows?…….for too long.

    I admit that I’m on pins and needles. One minute, I just say
    “fugitaboutit” (not AC’s proper spelling, I’m sure) and then the next minute, I’m convinced that I have a terminal illness.

    Sheesh……this sucks the big one!

  27. (((((UM)))))), I’m thinking about you, Luce…. You’ll be in my prayers…. Let us know as soon as YOU know, ok? I care.

    Cat

  28. (((((UM))))) Yeah, waiting never does work in ones best interest as your mind has way too much time to get carried away. I had blood work done this morning and can call my GP’s office in 4 days…….I am not waiting that long, luckily I can get into the system from work tomorrow *whistles*

    Anyway, keeping my fingers crossed for you my friend
    *crosses fingers*

  29. DAMMIT!!!

    LET’S GO, MEDICAL LAB PEOPLE!

  30. Call the office 3x/day

    Honestly, a repeat CXR-and then having to wait for an appointment?! Wha? They only have one machine in the entire state?

    So you have:
    1) an asshole who puts you on pins & needles waiting for an x-ray-with no personal call or explanation whatsoever.

    I mean for frigs-sake,could have been a shitty film to begin with, could want to make sure the stuff has cleared, could have seen a mucus plug & wants a re-check…and why not a CTscan? fuckin assholes.

    2) then making you wait for a damn reading that takes less than 5 mins to do.

    WTF? Bug the fuck outta em. I mean it. That is cruel. Lay into them, ask to speak to the doc that ordered it.

    (he may not even have any idea how long this process has taken…so really, bring it to his attention)

  31. The x-ray is not at that office anymore. It was sent to Morgantown to be read by a doctor at West Virginia University. This is the shit that happens when you don’t have insurance. You become a friggin’ second class citizens. Illegal aliens get better med attention than people with no insurance. And, it does matter one damn bit if you assure them that you can pay. I guess they are unable to gouge the insurance companies so thereforth, they are not interested in your money. They know that if a person has to pay out of pocket, the person is going to look at every expense line.
    Maybe, I’ll cross over into Mexico and then steal back over the US border.
    I promise to post just as soon as I find out something.

  32. My friend’s and I used to have a weekly Top 5 email quiz. Reading this I’m reminded of one particular week’s topic: If an re-knowned author was to write an all encompassing biography of your life and publish it, what would be your Top 5 choices for title of the book? My #2 was “In The Waiting Line”

    #1 was “Candy Corn Mine” but that’s a longer story :)
    The rest contained expletives, as I’m sure most real people’s would…

    Sending you good thoughts…

  33. Candy Corn Mine…..that’s gooood. Wish I had thought of it first.

    In The Waiting Line….yep, can identify with that one.

  34. We need a new post. Trying to think, think, think!

    How ’bout the news of a brain pacemaker for depression. Can’t remember where I saw that but it was somewhere on the internet.

    Although, I still think an on/off switch would be dabombdiggity!

  35. Im half done with my orange hair/slut one-just not inside enough to finish it.

    UM-the doc that ordered it, I’m guessin your doc, is still waitin for the results-he’d call over there. It’s a start anyway.

  36. I’m calling tomorrow. I want to know what the hold-up is.
    My thoughts are wavering between…..”It’s a good thing. If it had been something really bad, they would have hurried things up.” to “OMG! They are having a 3rd person read it because it’s a rare, seldom seen something or other”.

    Actually, I’ve stopped worrying. It is what it is…..just hurry the f*ck up and tell me!

  37. So today is the day they will meet UM……she is the person calling every 15 minutes demanding to get answers, she starts out asking nicely then because the doc’s assistant worst night mare……….well……….suck it up…….uM deserves her test results now *looks mad*
    Start calling, put them on speed dial and don’t give up!!!

  38. Post their numbers here and WE’LL start calling too. Can you flippin’ imagine the suffering we could cause them?

  39. GOOD NEWS!

    Nah, I didn’t get my results BUT I found a sentence with the word “ballsack” in it.

    Teabaggin’
    The act of repeatedly lowering one’s ballsack onto another person’s head/forehead. Ususally performed by male strippers on clients.
    Male Stripper 1: You see that old woman?
    Male Stripper 2: Yeah.
    MS 1: I was just teabagging her.
    MS 2: That’s my mom.
    MS 1: Oh… *uncomfortable silence*

    Sorry, just trying to lighten the mood here. Y’all know that laughter is the best medicine.

    It’s 9:27. If I have not heard anything by 11:00, I’m calling. The only reason that I haven’t raised hell so far is that the x-ray tech (Lisa) was so nice and really seemed honest when she promised to call me as soon as results came in. I’m thinking that somebody might have taken a long Memorial Day Weekend. I’m , also, thinking that the more patient that I am, the better the results will be. KARMA

  40. ROFLMAO at the teabaggin’

    *sits and waits for the results, but laughs at the teabaggin’*

    stares in horror…. “Mom? is that you?”

  41. Posting of orange hair interrupted by major headache(so I’ll finish it later, it’s not funny anymore) -next up: AC didn’t warn me I was buying the wrong sex toy. It smelled like Stretch Armstrong too. I bought it from a church group. Everything in that drawer now smells funny, even though it never came out of the wrapper-I threw it away Monday. I’d write about it now; but seriously, this is the left side of my head WTF? and it hurts.
    nite

  42. ok. Time is UP.
    Over a week for a simple x-ray reading.
    Seriously, Call them. (your doc) Maybe they either forgot to call you, got the results, were negative so didn’t bother to call you, or have not realized the other doc has his thumb up his ass.

    There is no excuse for this. Another weekend? Don’t stand for it. Let’s see: Waiting by the phone, mental anguish and anxiety @ $75/hr = ?? send them the bill. They’ll get the idea.

    Over and out. Gotta get before the tornadoes and/or storms come.BBL if we have electricity.

  43. Church groups selling sex toys, tea bagging ones mom…..OMG, what is happening?

    And still no test results………THIS HAS GOT TO STOP, give them a call, and one more and one more……stop playing nice to Lisa……….it is time they cough up the damn results!!!!!
    Like NOW ASAP RN NOW RFQ!

  44. Yes..test results all around or before we know it, the comment section on this post may start to go downhill

  45. Time to celebrate….ballgags for everyone (2 for WN).

    I called yesterday and the results weren’t back. I had to go out today and ran in as soon as I got home to see if there was a message. NO MESSAGE! I got an inspiration to check the caller ID and there it was…..the doc’s number.

    I have a node of some type. It was there on the first x-ray although I was not told. On the second xray, it was smaller. Still didn’t get to talk to the doc. The nurse gave me that info.
    I have to go back in 6 months to see if it is gone.

    “does funky chicken dance”

    Thank you….everyone of you! I tried to put on a brave face around here. You guys are the only ones who knew how scared I really was!

    I LOVE Y’ALL!!!!!

    I have to go to a stupid Pampered Chef party this evening. I’ll be back later tonight!

  46. May you get completely teabagged at your Pampered Chef Party!!!!

  47. LMAO

    I bought you all some Pampered Chef ballgags!

    d….how’s your head? I’ve been so wrapped up in myself, I’ve neglected to ask you.

    Post pic pdq of Stretch Armstrong sex toy. THIS, I’ve never seen. Great bday idea for crackhead sil

    That PC party lasted for friggin’ hours. I left after 2 hours and those woman would still droning on and drolling over spoonchala and measuring cups that nest. I hate home parties. I do not like people feeling like they have to come and buy crap that they don’t want or can’t afford just because they felt obligated to attend.

  48. yay, i’m glad you’re ok UM!!!
    d- hope your head is better

  49. Man, I am so glad I found this site. I’m new to it, but try not to hate me for that. It’s so nice to know that other people have to deal with the insanity that we call life.

  50. Hate you? Nah…we’ll just dislike you a little bit. JK
    Glad to have you here.
