There's an angel in my heart with a little gargoyle on her shoulder who whispers mischief into her ear.

Oh no, that's awful.... :sad:
My condolences to the officer's family and friends. Many people hate authority. Sometimes the hate is totally understandable, though my personal belief is in not trusting any negative emotion to accomplish more than the appropriate positive one will. Too often hatred for authority is the result of a person's being misguided by those who wish to bring about social change, well-intended or not. Our society contains examples of both in constant action. Blame who for your pain? Your parents, your government, those in charge, easily. Consider taking responsibility and a stand for the truth at whatever cost? Rarely.

Believe me...I'm sure nobody wants to know what's in my heart most of the time. Regardless of what Richard said to the contrary. He's our family friend.
I didn't think I'd be able to tell him I was angry because the captain gave me paid time off, which was in reality necessary time off; they're just paying me to make it look good. I've never understood PTO.
They gave me the time off due to a critical incident that for some reason was harder to handle than most of the calls classified as critical. Something about THIS one just isn't going away when I try to insist on its departure. That's making me angry too because every other critical incident I've dealt with has lessened in its intensity when I followed all the directives on how to get it under control. But not this one, and I'm sick of its being with me no matter how much I try to ignore it.

BTDT EMT..hang in there,time helps..I remember Gene Hackman in a movie,as a guy asks him "Do the ghosts ever go away?" and he looks at him and says "Not really.. but I've learned to make friends with them.." :smile2:

I have to go to the gynocologist again tomorrow and then will be going to the Cross Cancer Clinic on the 23rd to see how bad with this new site. Thanks guys
We have a Cancer Care Manitoba building connected to where I work. They are so supportive. Even when I was just overwhelmed after being at a meeting and wanting to cry (back in June of last year) I went in there and sat in one of their Lazy-Boy chairs in the family room. I did end up crying (a lot) which I did not expect to happen. A very caring nurse came over and spoke with me and even gave me a warm blanket to cover me which made me feel so much better.\\ (I knew of this place from when Andy had cancer).

Is there a place there you can go to staropeace? You should access the resources available if at all possible - it may help ((((Newfy :biggrin2:)))) - you are strong - you can get through this! :cheerful:

Gratitude that I found this site and all the wonderful people here. Hope for the future, that my son will be able to provide for himself and have a reasonably happy life. Worry as I know my parents are ill and live in a different state (my brother is local there) but they don't want me to come help them. Sadness as my sister suffers due to her addictions and cognitive issues but doesn't want to get clean. Love for hubby and son and family and friends. Gratitude that I have made it half way through my life and have learned so much... yeah, still thinking about this.
