I sort of lost touch with this friend of mine (whatever it was my fault) and it’s been way too long since I checked in with him. I just can’t remember his email addy. It’s something weird…like not his name…
He’s fierce at a lot of things, but mostly, he’s fierce at protecting me when the crazy comes, he comes in really handy. He’s a military guy who treats me like family. I just want CF to know I am thinking of him as always. I hope he sees this and get back in touch But if not…if I ever win a million dollars, I bet he finds me.
I hope he gets in touch with a life update…But can’t we all look at this now?
Meanwhile,can we just look at his HOTNESS?And some of you are asking for Daily Tea, so here it is…unleash whatever is bothering you.
Sigh, I’m tired of being strong. I hope I come out of this like the same as Job , because that’s who I’m like feeling these days .
Well, O.O. this is sad. I would hate to compare myself to Job. Job had it pretty fucking bad for a while there, but I do sincerely hear your exhaustion. It’s hard, if not impossible to be strong all the time and you really can’t expect it of yourself. Other people can’t really expect if of you either. Trying to live up to other people’s expectations can be really hard on a soul and body. Sometimes trying to live up to our own expectations can be really hard on a soul and body too. Anyway, I just hope whatever your load is, lifts to something much more manageable, and things will be better for you <3
Hi, O.O. Hope you don’t mind, but praying that things will look a little better tomorrow. (Hugs)
Oprah talked about how life’s events especially the rough ones are character building opportunities. Then she popped off with, her character was fine and she was done with the bad stuff. That’s how I feel no more character building.
I’ve been going through a living event for a few years that is peeking now. I am so tired of dealing, being the bigger person, excusing bad behavior, loving my family with little love in return. My boys love me but we are all excusing the “one.” It’s zapped my joy and stealing my sense of humor.
I will share in a future daily post but just adding I am really tired.
I just received a text to be ready at 11:00 for lunch, shopping at the beach then dinner. I am so damn excited.
Monterey/Carmel here we come.
Aww, good for you! I see fun in your future!
Oops peaking, my spelling has become horrible!
I LOVE Monterrey/Carmel area in California. So beautiful. Have a good time.
You know I’ve come to the conclusion that sometimes life can be wonderful and fulfilling. Then other times life’s a bitch and then you die. The key to the whole thing is to figure out how to have many more life is wonderful and fulfilling days than the other kind. I am an optimist fortunately for me because being 58 years old I have lost so many important people in my life, been through so many bad experiences and live now with a couple of incurable and painful diseases. If I wasn’t I’d probably have slit both wrists by now.
I keep telling myself tomorrow will be better and so far I’ve been right. Plus I think about the people who depend on me for even the little things I do for them if nothing but a smile that no one else has given them. I don’t mean that I am someone the world can’t do without but I may mean the world to someone. But you’re right. It does get tiring having to be the strong one.
O.O, I’ve felt like Job at times myself. The most recent one was in the last 7 months. I almost lost my faith during that time. I’ll say to you what my wise mother would always say to me and I had a hard time believing at first. THIS TOO SHALL PASS and it did. My son has a prosthetic leg that we didn’t have money to purchase. He is able to walk on it. Someone gave us her husband’s prosthetic leg who had passed away that we may be able to harvest the micro chip from to make my son’s better. He has finally been approved for Medicaid and hopefully in the near future Disability. He is not bitter and angry. He has a girlfriend who has stuck by him through it all and we’re all a closer family including my ex husband. Sorry this is so long. Just want my friends to know that things can and do get better. Not trying to preach.
TT, have you looked for CF on Facebook? Maybe a Friendly of a Friend, etc? Then you can message him through FB to reconnect.
He’s a hotty TT! I hope you find him or he finds you again.
I have good news. My son is a week and a half away from finishing the class! I am so proud of him. And my daughter found a really good job! Proud of her too.
Okay, now I have to go spit on them so the evil eye won’t get them. 🙂
O.O, big hugs! Like HKR said, we all have our Job days.
TT, you and your blog and commenters kept me company when I couldn’t deal with the real world. I hope you know that your gift of words and what you have done here has brought light and laughter when I had nothing to be happy or joyful about. I hope knowing this can somehow bring a little joy and a sense of worth to your soul.
Shay,
Brilliantly stated… I cosign.
Me three :). I really appreciate.
Even though she’s snarky to me at times, I’m totally with you. Her brand of humor is exactly like mine and it’s been hard to find. I check here more than I check any social media now. It’s my go-to in the mornings.
I, too, am grateful to TT for her outlandish snark and for sharing her personal struggles. Thanks for this community, TT, which is a sweet escape. I hope you find your friend, and if not, we are here for you.
My best friend died suddenly this week; another is in hospice care after fighting the good fight for several years. My mother passed a few months ago, and a few siblings are downright evil.
Yet, I am dealing with it all by taking better care of me and reaching out to help others, and it makes a world of difference.
That was nicely said Shay. I discovered TT when I was stuck in the dark depths of one of my worst depression “spells”. I would (and still do) check the site several times daily and having something to look forward to made a huge difference. I still don’t post often but feeling as though I’m part of this community has been a life saver, literally. I’m lonely a lot. This week has been a rough one. Thanks to everyone for sharing your experiences.
WOW. Reading what you guys, have been going through makes me feel like an ABSOLUTE ass. Funny, how your own problems always seem to pale in comparison, to someone else’s. Big hugs, plenty of love and prayers to all of you.
Hmmm I used to work on the flight deck during my years in the Navy. Is this a really old picture or does he currently serve on an aircraft carrier? I would be interested to know which one because he looks familiar.
If he is millitary you may be able to trace him through the VA. Just a thought.
TT – I was a P.I. in college. I can find anyone, message me on Twitter if you want me to try to find him .
xo
Veronica Mars? Is that you? 🙂
I love Veronica Mars. Got my daughter hooked on it after she finished binge watching Gossip Girl. Fun to rewatch it with her. Do you watch House of Lies? Kristen Bell and Don Cheadle on Showtime (I think). It’s awesome.
Mr. Hotness! Definitely worth tracking down. He looks as if he could cheer you right up. Anyway, if you focus on finding him, you might forget to feel crazy. Sometimes a project helps. Me? It’s girls’ night out to see MAGIC MIKE. Yes, please.
Lizbeth. Enjoy Magic Mike. I went opening night. Night out was fun.
I’ll say a prayer for you to find him. God might listen since I rarely pray.
i’ve been lost in a noir universe with TCM’s Summer of Darkness. Quote from one of the films: “It’s a bitter little world full of sad surprises, don’t go around letting people hurt you” #NoirSummer Friends and Lovers are not always for a lifetime…Just keep on moving on…Tamara, this community you have created is your family. They love you and wish you the best. You are not alone.
Hey there! I just discovered I Robot and Complications, loving Wednesdays!
I just joined twitter so I could follow you Tamara. For me, if need to find some lost information in my brain, I have to concentrate on the name, memories of them. eventually their info pops up. Like you with the email.
I wish you the best of luck. Like I mentioned I found you last January and I find I now come here many many times a day. No….don’t tell me how many time, just noe 🙂 I think it might be more than 20 but let me keep that illusion cause it is probably much more LOL
If you are thinking of him, he is thinking of you 🙂
I like Complications, too. I also like Murder in the First on Monday nights.
TCM has prevented me from getting to many a chore-it’s second only to gardening and has no competition in the drear of winter, when I can literally sit in one spot all day while engrossed in a movie!
I just got back into Orange is the New Black. Love it, love it, love it! Just got to where Piper and her girlfriend are launching a Used Prison Panties Enterprise.
Was there ever discussion here about the “new girl”?
Thanks, y’all. He will turn up, he always does. For the love of God, don’t start a manhunt. That would piss him off. In fact the post will probably piss him off. He goes off the grid on purpose a lot. It’s just unfortunate that he is off the grid now. He’s really good with the crazy. I’m not so good with his. 🙂
Smile.Made me think of Billy Joel’s, In the Middle of the Night for some reason.
I have men in my life that disappear for years and then pop back up when I think they have fallen off the face of the earth. It’s just about time for one of them to do that.
The “goes off the grid on purpose” part sounds exactly like a guy that I’ve known since about 1977. I’ve always wondered who he’s hiding from, but I think it’s Uncle Sam.
My clients lied about how much money they had and their ability to get access to it. They’ve cost 2 other families great distress and financial headache to say the least. I’m bound by a fiduciary relationship to protect them while I am disgusted at their entitled and flagrant disregard for anyone but themselves. I am just fucking livid and would like to shake the shit out of them and then make them apologize in person to all they have harmed. I’m in a position where I cannot even tell those they have harmed what I know about them, I’m so angry my god!
Are you in real estate? That would be a tough line of work if you are. Take a deep breath and hope that one day they get hit by the karma bus.
Money management and I’ll be driving that car.
Oh…Lisa I’m so sorry. I can feel for what you are going through. I had similar events when I was working. You wonder how people can be so rotten. Just keep thinking about your son in school and what your daughter and son mean to you. Some day, before you know it this will be a bad memory, a little blip in your rearview mirror. I hope…I hope 🙂
Lisa Sorry this happening to you. The older I become the less tolerant of liars I am.
Tamara, from reading what everyone wrote I think you were heaven sent to many of us. I was kind of low when I found your site. I was charmed by you, your articles, your gardening tips. After that I fell in like with your commenters. They might be from all over but they sound like women with southerns hearts. Gosh the tomato tips /orders alone were so funny and cheered me right up. I bet you are a fantastic teacher. Just the right amount of snark and feelings, sharing and caring. Okayyyy, now I have gotten corny. I suffer from heart on sleeve foot in mouthitis. (Sorry been stuck in bed for two weeks) I guess I just want to say thank you.
(Carry on, nothing to see here….)
What Dee said!
Every one of us has our very own fun level of crazy, and we all deal with it in a different manner. I enjoy reading the posts, the comments and just the basic fun ribbing. There are days when I am so annoyed with everyone and then I read a post where cunt is used 7 times and I giggle and the teecee goes off and I giggle and and it makes my day so much better. Some of you saw that literally 2 days after the episode where Vickie finds out her mother has died my step mother who raised me died suddenly, and the words of care and comfort helped so much. It will be a long time before i am “ok” and I accept that and know that it is ok to fall out for a while. To each and everyone of you thank you for being you and for all of us for supporting TT.
Oh Deb I have been thinking of you. Again, I am sorry for your loss. I can only imagine your pain. I like nothing better than to come here and see Tamara’s latest. Yesterday I was laughing out loud at the window lickers trying to say something on here. Tamara was saying they were so unintelligible she wasn’t sure if they were trying to insult her or what. I read it several times, laughed everytime
Deb, the hurt never goes away, but after a while the ache eases.
I have now lost both my birth mother and the mom who raised me, I am strong enough for this but I would really like to curl up and be a lump for a week or so. This place gives me a boost, a giggle and sometimes a different perspective on things. We all love this blog and have little windows into each others worlds and that can be a hoot as we all come form so many other places and social settings yet we come here to laugh and share. That is a pretty amazing thing and Tamara should really know how fucking cool that is, we all are equals, unless we get put in the WLS. I so hope we all have a great rest of the day and try and avoid the hot nasty weather.
I got my black out curtains today! That was FAST! They are a god send. It’s actually kind of chilly in here. I probably should have gone longer for the ones on the big window as lots of light/heat comes underneath them It only happens on those and I think it is because the air duct is blowing on them. They are nicer quality than I thought ($40 a pair or so) and I love they are not black on the outside.
This is the first time I have had matching curtains in the dining room that more or less go with the room. #Luxury.

I’m with you Deb I love the fact that Tamara has given us a place to come together, it is so cool.
Tamara so happy to hear you have gotten black out curtains and an A/C. That’s great!! Luxury is right 🙂
I need blackout curtains or something in my bedroom, The damn sun wakes me up way too early in the morning. I have vertical blinds, but they don’t keep the light out. I used to sleep in another room on the other side of the house during the summer because it stays dark in the morning, but my neighbor’s AC is making a loud whining noise that keeps me from falling asleep. Then there are trees on that side of the house, so the damn birds start chirping early in the morning and wake me up.
Bless you, therealdeb. Sorry for your loss.
I may need black out curtains
TT I wish you would write a book. I bet it would be a best seller, and I would be ready to buy several copies of it if you did. Have you ever thought about writing like that? We all know that you are excellent at this blog, but a book by you would be icing on the cake. What’d ya think?
Hugs and kisses to everyone. I really needed to hear (read) some of these posts today. I feel like every I get up…I get slapped (with an open hand) back down! I’ve had a glass of wine and a bowl of carbs; I’m off to bed to dream about my own hottie. I’ll start anew at 4:15am tomorrow morning. And this too shall pass.
I’ve missed y’all! Been making memories with my bunch at WDW. Hot as balls but nothing a Dole whip can’t cure. And yep, TT, your friend is cute!
I’m new here. What does TT mean by window licking section. I looked the phrase up and it means a handicapped child who rides the bus and they like to lick the window. I don’t think this is what she is referring to. I don’t believe she’s making fun of handicapped kids.
TBella, pull down the menu, read the rules of this site and you will never find out what theWLS is.
Normally you break a rule, fight with TT over a rule or are generally disagreeable — your comments stop posting.
Then You wait and just write another comment that is not aggressive then poof you are back in. No more WLS.
No one really knows when you get sent to WLS, it’s happened to the best of us. Sort of means on the outside looking in.
You can look but you can’t post…
Thank you!
