Have you ever had a time...
When just about everything you did, or every word you spoke, was wrong?

Well, tonight is my night for that...

I can be very thin-skinned, and sometimes things hurt when they wouldn't hurt stronger folks...

So I figured, how much worse can it get?

I'll make a thread, and watch it sink.....

I'll revel in my mistakes tonight...

Instead of lamenting them...

I know....This too shall pass...

I hope your evening is going a lot better than mine!

:P

11. Don't worry, it only hurts when I exist (wink)
I hope all's well with you. In spite of external circumstances, it's getting better for me all of the time, where it counts, the only thing you take with you.

13. My dear whatever your name is
Oh yeah, CaliforniaPeggy :)

We love ya here, we all have off nights - shit I got some nights here on DU I wish never had happened. But life goes on and I let it roll (took me a while to learn that).

I am guessing I am on about 100,000 peoples' ignore lists though.

I got one person on ignore, and I don't care how bad a night you have you will never be on that list.

Given all your thousands of posts, you are bound to have some that you wish you hadn't.

Me I judge ya for all the good ones, and you're a damn fine lady in my book.

And I don't think I have seen a bad post from ya, but hell - we are entitled to tithe our 10% of em ;)

18. Darlin' Peggy, I've inserted foot in mouth more times than I care to recall.
Thankfully, not as often as I used to, but still enough to make me :blush:

21. (((California Peggy)))
Yep, Wildhorses is absolutely right- you need a hug. I would also prescribe some chocolate and perhaps a nice glass of wine, not necessarily in that order. I would also prescribe some time with some kittens and puppies, that is the best medicine.

We have to have 'tougher times' or how would we appreciate the really good times? You're right- this will pass- hang in there.

I say this as I have a kitten in my lap while I type this. I am kind of an animal addict, you see and this one is a foster kitten for a great no-kill cat shelter that I volunteer at. Truth be told, we weren't going to foster anymore, as we are foster failures- that is, we have adopted too many of our charges. How can you not fall in love with them? Each and every one are special. My youngest found this little kitten, though so we took her in and they had no place for her, so we have her in the meantime.

Anyway, you will probably wake up this morning feeling like your old cheerful self.

Whatever it was, Peggy, surely you'll feel better about it in the morning after a good night's sleep.

I love sleep.

It rights wrongs.

It regenerates cells.

It rejuvenates damaged muscle tissue.

It clarifies the mind.

Nighty Night. :)

28. Yes, Peggy, I've been there
It was called being married. :P I hear ya about being thin-skinned. I'm super sensitive too. Sometimes that's a good trait and sometimes it's not. And no, I don't want people to walk on eggshells around me either.

Seriously, there are times when I feel not so smart and the universe boomerangs everything I send it right back at me! :grr: But what can I do? *sigh*

It's nice to know I'm not alone...

Luckily for me, my marriage is one of the places where this normally doesn't happen...

I'm with you on people not altering their behavior around me either...

Hang in there, sweetie... :hug:

5 posts for me today, and not one response. I'm feeling invisible. The thing I like about you is you always attempt to respond and make people feel good. And that's a terribly good way to be. :D

I hope you have a lovely day...I'm going to work out in the heat. :hug:
