I was born in '81 (that makes me 20...On October 25th I'll be 21, yay!)

Well everyone I will be in California from the 21st thru the 26th, so I will not be able to respond to posts till I get back....we're hittin' Disneyland!! Woohoo!! I'm looking forward to completely abandoning any semblance of adult behavior! I sooooooooo needed this break. Alrighty, so everyone take care. I'm afraid of flying and I have to take like 2 planes each way...but it's going to be okay because I have a Xanax (anti-anxiety prescription) JUST for such occassions...lol.

Talk to you all later (and sorry about the posts that I still haven't responded to yet--I will get to them when I return from my trip).

Love to all,
Heather

Hmmmm...Maybe "Your Mother" (Umma) is older than I am...maybe not! LOL!
I am 44, I look 34 and I act 24, j/k! but, sometimes...it seems like it!

I still remember 18 so clearly! You all just wait...you will see how it doesn't seem possible to be in your 40's one day!! LOL!
My daughter is 14. She will be 15 in January. While she is PMS'ing, I am going through premenopause...boy, are we fun!

The world can definitely be a sucky place. Bad things happen that are very difficult to deal with. (I suppose that sounds lame...) What I am trying to say is the same thing we said in high school "Life is a B*tch and then you die!"...it hasn't changed...not really...there was a lot of turmoil during the 60's and the Viet Nam war...I was young then, but, I remember much of it...the day President Kennedy died...my 18 year cousin was killed in Nam. He enlisted against his mother's wishes for him not to. He believed he should fight for his country. When the Viet Nam vets returned, they were ashamed. They didn't feel like heros. They weren't recognized as heros. Many still suffer from flashbacks... I remember Martin Luther King and his bravery...the horrible way the blacks were treated, and I don't just mean segregation...the list of atrocities go on and still continue...all over the world...

I have my sense of humor and my faith that give me hope of remaining sane...and even then, sanity isn't all that important to me LOL!...just being strong for my daughter, doing the best I can, continuing to have faith, and to give back to the universe as I am able in the way of helping others...

What goes around does come around.

I usually do not get too serious on these boards because I prefer not to be...
I originally came here for fun and relaxation. I have found inspiration on these boards, which is something I wasn't thinking I needed...I guess I was wrong.

I may still be a bit crazy...it is my way. My daughter is my navigator...I can get lost in a parking lot! I somehow do not pay enough attention according to my daughter and I go in the out door! I am always thinking about stuff that seems important at the time! LOL!
Anyway...enough of my story already!!

As Tears Go By
By Jagger/Richards


It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Smiling faces I can see
But not for me
I sit and watch
As tears go by

My riches can't buy ev'rything
I want to hear the children sing
All I hear is the sound
Of rain falling on the ground
I sit and watch
As tears go by

It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Doin' things I used to do
They think are new
I sit and watch
As tears go by

These two dudes wrote this song for Marianne Faithfull...she was a legend in those days! (Sex wasn't talked about...we thought you got pregnant if you kissed a guy! LOL!) She was found at a raided party at Keith Richards home, wrapped only in a floor rug! At that time, she became a sex symbol within American society! She felt (as expressed in later writings, that although her relationship was with Mick Jagger, she and Mick were both in love with the same person...Keith Richards...) The guys felt that they were both in love with her...Keith was married at the time...
