myLot reputation of 93/100. TLChimes (1655)   ranked 1 out of 27 in chimes tlc7 months ago

Me, myself, and I (2-28-07 adapted today)


This is an open, non-private letter so that everyone can pre-screen me before becoming my friend. I'm keeping it open so past friends can get a feel of who I am... even behind their backs. (coughshadowcough)

I am me. I sometimes forget things. I mix up my letters and my words. I love to write and I love to do other forms of art but am just now picking them up again due to lack of confidence after getting sick. I call myself stupid when I can't remember if I took my pill, what I'm cooking or why I entered the room I'm in.

My family comes before ANYone or ANYthing else. They are why I am still on this miserable little planet and haven't flown back to my native one. (that's half a joke, I am not that nuts) The kids have been my reason to breathe for a little over 18 years, they have put in more time then anyone else and will always come first. Besides they make me smile even when I want to cry.

I am political. I hate what the government does in the name of freedom and protection. I hate how it spends. I am a tie dyed hippie type. MAKE TEA NOT WAR!!!

I hug trees, animals and children. I eat meat. Sorry, but I enjoy a good steak from time to time, besides it just costs so much to go Vegan in the city.

I'm poor white trash and am aware of it. I have learned to be happy in my station and make the best of it. I do what I can to see that my kids don't remain in this place.

I hate, HATE people who harm their kids and blame it on something stupid. Same can be said for their animals. I have my causes and have no problem forcing them gently on others. BUT I won't be shoving anything down your throat.

I try to treat others with Love and Respect. I honor that they are a part of my world. I try to accept them for who and what they are... good and bad. Because I hope people will do the same for me.

I do not keep track of who does what for who because when you are in my station you CAN'T give to others the way they give to you. I do the best I can and ask no more of anyone else. I give of myself what and when I can.

I appreciate the gifts I'm given. But more so the time and energy given to me by those who care. I know that it is hard to remember those who aren't part of your daily lives so it means that much more. If it is something as simple as a card or and e-mail. It means more then I can ever explain here.

I try to be there as best as I can for those who need and want me to be. I try. Lately life handed me a curve that I'm trying to face with my chin up. (a lot over the last 2.5 years) It's not an excuse for my lack of attention to my friends but it is there none the less.

If Rowan's time with me is short then I will make the most of it, for him, for my other kids, for my husband, and for myself. It is my way. I am mother above everything else... including friend and Tammy. It is who I am.

I do not visit the online groups all that often because they are filled with nutty people who like to hurt one another over stupid things. The ones I do visit tend to be small and personal. You know, a coffee house to meet with your friends, or a library to learn to better yourself. I was never into the Bar mentality. Do not blame me for not being there or getting involved with it. It just isn't me.

I do not talk about people behind there backs. I do share things among friends that were said openly. Trust is important and since I wouldn't want you to tell people my secrets why would I tell yours? If I have something to say about you, it will be to you or something I wouldn't care about getting told to you. So whom ever is trying to say that I do.... here is my backside. You know what you can do.

If you choose to be my friend... Thank you. I will do my best to be a good friend. Please know that you will be important to me. It's part of who I am.

If you choose to walk away from our friendship... You will be missed. Your loss will be felt and dealt with. I'm sorry you can't deal with who Tammy is.

If you have made it this far in reading this then I bet you want to know what prompted it. Not telling. Sorry but that would be more info then you need. Just know that I am grateful to those who include me as their friends and will miss those who don't.

My sister said that if people know me then they know that my love, my friendship is real and true. I thank her for her kind words on a rough morning.

May you go through your day knowing I wish you nothing but love and Smiles.


Now your turn.... Who are you and how do you play with others?

So it is Tammy? Nice name. That was quite a dissertation. I don't think I have the time to tell who I am in this post, but I do like and respect you. We agree politically and in most things religious. We both eat meat. Hmm.... You'd make a good musician. Good musicians are usually very open with their intimate friends. And they like a good steak, unless they are indeed vegetarians.

Sorry to finally get the point about you having suffered from some sort of illness. I can't say as I have, unless it is mental. Hee-hee. I try not to be a nutcase, Tammy, I really do, but it may be a foregone conclusion. At least I can be nice, I figure. That way I don't hurt anybody.

Blessings, and peace - I appreciate your courage, Dan


myLot reputation of 93/100. TLChimes (1655)   ranked 1 out of 27 in chimes tlc  7 months ago

I do enjoy my nutty ways.... it makes life more interesting.... as do you. Both my youngest boy and I have medical issues as well as a daughter who is Autistic. No biggy when you deal with it daily but every now and again life throws a curve you don't see coming.

PM me and I'll let you know how to reach me off the lot if you would like. We can talk about your girl that I know you do well with, and my boys who worry their mother.

You are "good people" and I'm better for knowing you.


myLot reputation of 76/100. keymandan (741)   ranked 8 out of 27 in chimes tlc  7 months ago

I'm fairly comfortable with mylot's forum as a means of communicating with folks I've never met, but with whom I've developed friendships. I might PM you however, and give you e-mail address, as a cordial gesture.

Thanks for saying I'm "good people". Though there are many good people, from man's way of seeing it, those who stand on principle and truth are quite rare.

Peace, Dan

I'm conservative. Honestly, I don't care what you want to do in you bedroom, just don't force me to watch or saction it. I do care that you don't burden me, or society with it either. If you don't want the responsiblity of children, there are plenty of ways to keep from having them rather than KILLING them after you have made them. Besides, did you know how unhealthy it is to do that?

I would rather be by myself than to have to play well with others, but I'm quite able to be polite if nobody gets in my face. Having said that, if they do, I'm likely to strike back.

I can be a very loyal friend.

I will do my best to do good things for people, no matter how nasty they are to me. If I see a person who is mean to me, but she looks nice that day, I will say so.

I don't like liars and will avoid them if I can. If I can't I will be polite, but I won't trust them.

I'm very "crafty" but not too artistic. I can adapt some things so that they are not exactly like original, but I don't consider that "art."

I like purple, my friends call me "The Alien" and I've got lots of allergies - deal with them.

LOL.... sorry but you made me grin. I like you just as you are even if we don't agree on everything.

I'm a jack of all trades... I try some things but am not great at any. more arty then crafty.

Allergies you say... you should meet my kids. I should own stock in zertec and the epi-pen.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (15546)   ranked 4 out of 27 in chimes tlc  7 months ago

I'm allergic to food. Most of the rest of the allergies have been treated and don't bother me any more.

I'm 51, 3 kids, married, full time job, inclined towards libertarianism except for certain things that I believe the government has an obligation to provide, don't like taking orders, am extremely introverted, smart, like to read and idk what else. I hope it wasn't something bad that prompted you to write this. Hugs....


myLot reputation of 93/100. TLChimes (1655)   ranked 1 out of 27 in chimes tlc  7 months ago

wink

"don't like taking orders" really? with the crew we hang out with I think that's a given. I've been called controlling but would rather say I'm IN control.

It was written when someone was questioning my motives for being who I am... friendly here not so much in the real world... always afraid of screwing things up.

I love to read...but my eyes are bothering me so I don't do it as much as I'd like.


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (10240)   ranked 2 out of 27 in chimes tlc  7 months ago

Somebody over on Yuwie was questioning my motives just because I was almost always the first person to read his blogs. Don't you hate when people assume you have an agenda when you don't?


myLot reputation of 88/100. lotterylover (4843)   ranked 7 out of 27 in chimes tlc  7 months ago

That is my problem. I like giving treats to men as well as ladies, especially those who serve me at the cafe. But they think I have an agenda. Maybe that is because they aren't used to people giving without a reason.

Yes, those three characters we live with. I appreciate you taking the time to set this all down on this site. Recently life threw me a curve too. I am still reeling and trying to understand it all. It is so rediculous and hurtful. I am trying to put it all away. Hard. Yes, I agree there alot of nutty people in alot of the groups. We are who we are and all we can be unless we want to go the plastic route and I feel life is just too short.


myLot reputation of 93/100. TLChimes (1655)   ranked 1 out of 27 in chimes tlc  7 months ago

Have I told you lately that you make the world a better place? If you ever need to talk about the curve you know where to find me and I can give you my other info if you want it.

Life is way to short... Rowan taught me that more then any other lesson my other kids taught.


myLot reputation of 97/100. celticeagle (4904)   ranked 10 out of 27 in chimes tlc  7 months ago

Wow! Was that really meant for me? I am humbled. Thank you. We should talk. I appreciate that.

But never too late to this party. I will put your info in my address book and bug ya at some point. Thanks.

Tammy you said things well, clear, and justly. " To know, know, know you is to love, love, love you." You are never running luke warm, your hot, and seldom cold.
Your straight forward and don't have to run and hide after saying something. What you see is what you get and that's what I LIKE about you. Abetter, stronger, or more honest person I have never known. That's why I CHOOSE to call you FRIEND.

Well Tammy, I choose to be your friend because I can tell that what you are is real. I too detest cruelty to children and animals and there are only a few people that I am close to because I must confess I don’t like too many folks. I don’t mean to sound arrogant and it is not because I feel I am in any way superior, quite the opposite in fact; I just know so many people that are not true to themselves and too attached to ‘stuff’ and in some kind of competition that I am supposed to take part it and I don’t want to. When I was younger I used to feel as though everybody belonged to some secret club that I was never invited to join and that used to hurt; these days I don’t want to join…

I will befriend anyone who is honest, real and nice but I won't tolerate lies or who individuals who 'cry wolf'.

I am a wife, a mother, a writer and an animal lover and my favourite time is listening to my music, writing and cuddling my daughter or my cats.

I don’t like politics and take no interest in it and I am searching for my spiritual path; I wish we could all be kind and love each other and all I wish for is peace.

happy


myLot reputation of 93/100. TLChimes (1655)   ranked 1 out of 27 in chimes tlc  7 months ago

I'm just learning to be more then Mother... hard work since it's all i've known since I was 16. And with my youngest two having the issues they do it's hard to find time to do what I'd like.

I know just what you mean by that club and how it felt to not be in it.... I think that's where my people issue comes from... but I'm learning.

Nice to have you in my world.

hiya Tammy

Well that is quite an insight to the real you I didn't realize you were so passionate about things. Poor white trash is not how I would describe anybody, you are what you are and be proud of it. I knew Tammy was your real name from youtube but didn't want to call you familiar without your permission. I am glad we are friends.
Not much to tell about me, I am one of 7 children (8 including my half sister) I am unemployed at the moment. Hate governments war and poverty, love family life, cats, movies, music and poetry. I play clean and fair with others, don't tell lies and try to help when a friend asks for it.

Alice happy

I make the best with what we have... live with in our means but the only area I wish I had more in is the medical needs. Like I'm trying to find a way to afford a cooling vest for Rowan.... theree is a way to make them but the only site I found makes you pay for the information.... how dumb is that?

You sound just like you appear from all I know of you!




myLot reputation of 99/100. Aliceinwebland (5188)   ranked 23 out of 27 in chimes tlc  7 months ago

It's always about money Tammy, nobody would think of giving out that info out of the goodness of their heart. I hope you get that cooling vest hon thumbup


myLot reputation of 79/100. zahfran (334)   ranked 20 out of 27 in chimes tlc  7 months ago

Hi Tammy,

Let's just say I know of a way to help you get that e-book. A way to make cooling vests. I would just need the website address. PM me the website and I'll see what I can do about it. Talk about modern-day Robin Hood.. Lol..:)

Anyway, that was a really informative post. And though I don't know you that well and we rarely "meet" in discussions, I just wanna wish you all the best.

Keep ya head up no matter what. Be strong. My mom always told me that anything is possible when you're strong. So I wish you all the best in going through this period. This test.

And don't forget to PM me the website. That's the least I could do to make you feel better. happy


myLot reputation of 99/100. Aliceinwebland (5188)   ranked 23 out of 27 in chimes tlc  7 months ago

hi goose I'm sure Tammy will see this response from you, but after getting it in my notification in email, I just had to pop in and say that's real nice of you thumbup


myLot reputation of 99/100. Aliceinwebland (5188)   ranked 23 out of 27 in chimes tlc  6 months ago

I am me. English, Male, on a career break which is veering dangerously towards unemployment. I am a certified Depressive, but that word alone depresses me, so I'm potty which seems to encompass my approach to life. I love history and old buildings. Religions turn me off - so why do I spend so much time in a cathedral? They seem to be stuffed full of hypocrites, cynics and ego trippers. However, I do believe in a higher power - higher even than the Duracell Bunny. I loathe the way that politicians see war as a good way to build their egos, whilst the young people of their countries die so that the men and women in suits can wring their hands at the graveside and talk of "heroes". That said, those self same young people deserve to be respected and honoured. I am also disgusted that as a society we have allowed money and profit to become more important than people. I am not a socialist, but I do believe that capitalism has a responsibility to the people that make it work and not just to line the pockets of those that are already wealthy. At heart though, I believe that we all have the capacity and in fact are, good, kind and generous in spirit. My family are of course at the top of the tree. However, I have many friends, for which I thank the gods. They mean everything to me and whilst I am not as communicative as I could be, there is a place in my heart for them/you all.

Hi Tammy

you are you, transparent, humane and beautiful. I loved your affirmations and have been trying to be there. I am a simple human who would like this place to be a happy one no matter what. A little smile, a little love, a little pat could change lives enormously. Remember mirrors? They could be of so many kinds. water bodies, the eye of a child, the dew drop, the clear sky? I am trying to mirror myself on you all, on who you are, who I am.
