Ugh.

[BeachBaby]

My break from DU was short-lived. I need the distraction from the bullshit that surrounds me IRL.

Can somebody please tell me that better days are ahead - even if it's not true? I really need to believe that.

[vard28]

1. Sure

This place can be a great distraction from rl as long as you hang out here in the lounge and don't venture much further than that. You know there's usually someone around to at least offer a hug or a laugh. :hug: See? Did that help?

[BeachBaby]

5. Good point.

Stay out of GDP and I/P, and hang here. Thanks. :hug:

[TZ]

2. Better days are ahead!

Cause I'm coming to visit soon! ;)
:hug:

[BeachBaby]

6. LOL!

Goof. :hug:

[Strong Atheist]

3. Well, going by the past, things always eventually get better. nt.

[BeachBaby]

23. Here's to hoping you're right.

:)

4. Better things are on the way....

Heres wishing you the bluest sky,
And hoping something better comes tomorrow.
Hoping all the verses rhyme,
And the very best of choruses to
Follow all the doubt and sadness.
I know that better things are on the way.

Heres hoping all the days ahead
Wont be as bitter as the ones behind you.
Be an optimist instead,
And somehow happiness will find you.
Forget what happened yesterday,
I know that better things are on the way.

Its really good to see you rocking out
And having fun,
Living like you just begun.
Accept your life and what it brings.
I hope tomorrow youll find better things.
I know tomorrow youll find better things.

Heres wishing you the bluest sky,
And hoping something better comes tomorrow.
Hoping all the verses rhyme,
And the very best of choruses to
Follow all the drudge and sadness.
I know that better things are on the way.

I know youve got a lot of good things happening up ahead.
The past is gone its all been said.
So heres to what the future brings,
I know tomorrow youll find better things.
I know tomorrow youll find better things.

[BeachBaby]

25. Awwwwww. Thanks!

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it wasn't an Irish song. :hide: :rofl:

Seriously, though.....I know that you know the feeling. And YOU know that better days are most certainly ahead for you. I will make you my mentor. :P

:hi: :hug:

14. BWAHAHAHAHA!!

Great gif!!

[TZ]

16. Hey now

She wants to feel better not get nauseous...:spank:

[BeachBaby]

26. EVIL DUER.

Yep - that's you. :spank: :hug:

[redqueen]

8. The probability of things getting better again is extremely high.

Of course, so is the possibility that they will get bad again... and that this cycle will continue to repeat for as long as you're lucky enough to be alive. :P

Hope things start to improve for you soon. :hug:

[BeachBaby]

27. You're so damned logical, reds.

:P

Thanks for your uplifting words. :hug:

9. Here is a song that always makes me feel better:

I hope it can help you, too, BeachBaby: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0 :hug:

[Dr. Strange]

11. Your evil knows no bounds.

No bounds at all...

[3.14158675309]

13. High praise from you, indeed,

Dr. Evil DUer! :hi: :patriot:

[BeachBaby]

29. *cough* POT KETTLE BLACK *cough*

[TZ]

12. You bastid!!!!

:spank:

[3.14158675309]

15. Shhhhhh!

That was meant for OB! :spank:

[BeachBaby]

30. YAIM.

That is all.

[3.14158675309]

41. Feeling better already I see!

It's all yours, OB! =>

[Cabcere]

10. Welcome back, sweetie

:pals: And I've learned that things do tend to get better...sometimes it just takes a while. Sending lots of :hug:s and good vibes your way, babe! :loveya:

[BeachBaby]

19. Yo, chickie!!!!

Long time, no see! :hug: :hi: :loveya:

I think about you and your family often - how's your bro?

[Cabcere]

20. He's doing OK now, for the most part.

:hi: The crazy ex-girlfriend thing has pretty much blown over (knock on wood) - the ex-gang member she was "interested in" is now apparently engaged to marry the mother of his children, so he's (hopefully) out of the picture. The ex-girlfriend took my brother out to Subway for his birthday - a move that my parents and I weren't exactly thrilled about, but apparently they had a nice long chat and sort of worked things out. Now my bro has made several new friends in the neighborhood, and they've been hanging out pretty much every day. He's also taken up smoking since he turned 18, which isn't so great since my mom's allergic, but he only does it outside the house. So all in all, things are looking quite a bit better. :loveya:

[BeachBaby]

31. Wow!

Lots of changes!

So happy to hear that things are calming down in your neck of the woods. Those little brothers can drive us big sisters crazy, eh? ;)

Thanks for the update. :hug:

[madinmaryland]

17. You were gone?? Well, I kind of missed yesterday. I was locked in the Sports

forum arguing with the twins.

:shrug:

[BeachBaby]

32. Not for long.

I thought that a brief leave would help me focus on my problems; but I've since learned that there is a such thing as thinking too much. This is my place to forget the bullshit for awhile. :)

The twins? cboy and upton?

[madinmaryland]

39. Yeap.

[azmouse]

18. Things will get better.

Well, at least things have to for this mouse:



This pic always make me smile. :)

[BeachBaby]

33. Good lord - I hope so!

:rofl:

Thanks, az. :hug:

[vard28]

21. Now THIS should give you a good laugh

If you already haven't read this post, go here. There's no way a couple of these responses won't help you smile just a little! :P

[BeachBaby]

35. LOL - yeah, I already saw that.

Thanks. :hi: :hug:

[vard28]

44. I got a kick out of it

while I was sitting here at work tryin' hard not to draw attention to myself while I was cracking up.

Hope your day is going better!

[NJmaverick]

22. BeachBaby you are a good person

It is inevitable that things will turn around for you. Better days are coming

:hug:

Beyond that, you have a crap load of real people (the people behind these screen names) that care about you. So that's a great start.


Plus I remember reading a study that found that happiness is not age related, so there is always a chance and always time for things to get better.

[BeachBaby]

37. Awwww, thanks. I try to be.

And sure hope you're right about everything else you said. :P :hug:

[NJmaverick]

56. This might bring a smile to your face

24. Poor BeachBaby...

:hug:

There are always better days ahead. You just have to stay alive to see them...

[BeachBaby]

38. No - not "poor" Beach Baby, babe.

I think it's just that feeling of being spent, defeated, whatever. I do have good things in my life.

I'm just hoping for better days to make the good things outweigh the bad, I suppose. Thanks, hon. :hug:

[CreekDog]

28. I hope you feel better soon

Sometimes bad times open new doors. :shrug:

[BeachBaby]

40. Nice post, Fraulein Maria.

:rofl:

Seriously though......thanks, babe. :hug:

[CreekDog]

45. That reminded me of something I once did (Sound of Music related...):

49. I would be right there with them!

(laughing my ass off, of course!) :fistbump:

On edit: changed smiley from pals to fitbump so you won't get the wrong idea and think that I'm a woman :rofl: :hi:

[CreekDog]

50. why would i ever think you're a woman

:crazy: :evilgrin:

i still don't get why the audience gasped. who goes to the Sing Along Sound of Music not knowing how it ends? :wtf:

did they really think the Captain gets shot in the end? :rofl:

[3.14158675309]

51. I thought that that was the rap on you!

Well, that would account for the gasps-- in THIS version, he DIES???? :wtf: :gasp:

I guess I need to learn how to take my own advice. :blush:

Thanks, Philly boy. :hug:

[TZ]

61. I posted it too!

OMG, I must have a bit of a Philly soul somewhere...:P

[SacredCow]

54. I've told you that before, I think.....

:hug:

and better days ARE ahead.

[BeachBaby]

55. Thanks, you.

And the sooner, the better. :hug:

[SacredCow]

57. Yeah, I hear ya....

You need a trip to the beach, BeachBaby! Some time parked in a deck chair with endless margaritas and a good book!

[BeachBaby]

59. You had it ALMOST right.

On the beach, deck chair, endless margaritas and a good MAN. :P

Good to see you, sweetie. :hug:

[SacredCow]

60. Well, I was close....

But didn't you hear? All of the good men are gay!
