CAN RELATE! CAN RELATE!!
OH BOY! How many times have I wanted to shout I'M HURTING! when greeted with "Hi! How are ya!???,
BUT! That lie leaps out  everytime - I'm fine! or Oh I'm good, how bout you? 
Well you look good! - You too! or (just simply change of subject).
You can't just go around spreading gloom.

Did she miss anything???

Peace & Be Blessed!

DITTO!!!!!!!!!! same here!!!!

[navydad]

same here but add a touch of my mind going to Toledo sometimes on vacation without me

[karleesgranny]

yeah! I tell people "I am sorry my brain took a vacation and left me here to suffer alone." My husband tells me something and the next day I will ask him about that same subject like he never told me anything and he says oh ok your brain needs to come back from vacation I need you to remember this.

Hi karleesgranny,

Yeah, me too.  I often walk like a 90 year old when cold because I hurt so bad, but I always come up with I'm okay, just a bit stiff - if they only knew.

Toledo eh Navydad?  Nice town? 

My mind tends to go to the winds when I'm exhausted (the greater the exhaustion, the worse the "winds"), and people often wonder what the heck I'm talking about as it'll usually be about something totally different than what they are talking about .

Take care -

I sure can relate to this!  People would see me and say "well, you look great!"  Like that is supposed mean that I feel great too I guess.  They always look sort of puzzled when they say this too.  Sometimes when I'm feeling really bad though I get very, very pale and almost ashen.  Does this happen to anyone else?

Yeah on my bad days I look bad. Makeup won't even cover but my paleness but my eyes looked glazed over

Sue is faboo!

I am so glad you shared her blog here!

I've said a couple of times I wish I looked how I felt...
is that too much of a low blow for people to hear?

Just so lonely in my circle of world here in my latitude longetude world anywho

YOU ALL make me so so... NOT ALONE!

Actualy never been to Toledo,, just seemed like a  nice sounding name for my brain to go on vacation at?

Sleepy 101,

I know what you mean my eyes always look tired, they used to be my best feature. My skin is always dry and patchy. My hair is dry and brittle, so much so I cut it almost completely off, good thing it looks kind of good on me, actually makes me look 15 years younger,so I've been told. I just know it helps some with menopause flashes!

Peace & Be Blessed!
