This is how I’ ve been feeling for a while now. Rapid thoughts and too damn many of them. With everything that has been invented, WTF has someone invented and On/Off knob that could be inserted in our brain?

I see all the years I’ve

If only…

I was thinking about Feline’s comment on my breaking and entering experience. It’s true and here’s what happened.
Not long after meeting some of these girls at the other place, I went out of town for a few days. I didn’t take my laptop with me. And, my family was with me. I had began to [...]

Uneasy day. Started out with my cracked-addicted stepdaughter calling for money again. Her father turned her money request last night down.

Trying to keep it real here. I posted the “Shattered” aka “The Day In The Life of Real Bipolar Chick a day or so ago. Honest feelings…..no “brain double” used.

That’s the word that comes to mind when I try to find a word to best describe how I’m feeling lately. Like broken glass.
A glass is sitting on a kitchen counter. The glass is a sturdy container. It holds whatever liquid that you want to put in it. Some days, it may hold a drink [...]
