owl Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Mostly pants here. Partner died which was sort of expected but not just yet, and close friend died which was not expected at all. Invasion by large numbers of unfriendly rats Some good stuff happened as well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruthi (borrowadog) Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 for everyone who's having a bad time. I feel really guilty because I am having a fab year. I bought a little business and now spend my time playing with dogs and cats. I married the man of my dreams (and I'd waited over half a century for him to come along!). My family and friends are well and happy and I love them all, and they love me. My dogs are well and happy too. We have a few problems, but none of them are serious enough to take the gloss off.

Ruth Don't feel guilty, you had your pants year already as I remember. It's your turn to have a nice time and knowing that you came through your troubles OK and found happiness is encouraging to those going through a horrible time.

Peachy Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Last year was my bad year. In order. 1) I went through a rough time at work and was bullied for months until occupational health stepped in to help. It took nearly a year to resolve. 2) Steve had to go to America for three months to complete part a huge part of his aviation course. 3) A week before he came back the house suffered 10 inches of flood water, meaning the ground floor of the house had to be completely gutted. 4) The day after the flood, I wasn't concentrating and had a small accident in my car. Nobody else was involved and I wasn't hurt. Just the car. 4) I lost my beloved Reggie Roo. This year, things are smoothing out and are much brighter. I truly feel for everyone having a bad year because it seems to be never ending. Thinking of you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheryl33 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 I feel guilty for having a good year so far but I've had my fair share of shite over the years. I have Fugees have been incredibly supportive when I've talked about my problems and there are some who have been absolutely brilliant and I dont know what I would have done without them A problem shared, is a problem halved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggy.lover Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 I'd like to join in this thread if I could please as I'm having the pants year to beat all of my pants years so far Jan - found out mum had cancer for the 4th time this time more serious as in one of her vital organs and needed chemotherapy Feb - Found out I'd have to wait for months just for a camera investigation for a medical condition which got so bad I had to go sick for 3 months with that and nursing mum Mar - My depression came back with a vengeance (i'm diagnosed bipolar disorder) Apr - Whilst I was off sick they finished my work partner that I've worked with for the last 5 yrs and put a bone idle b@stard in his place. May - My hubby's brother was diagnosed with throat, lung and liver cancer and given less than 6months to live May - Go back to work on reduced hours and 3 weeks later get chest infection which means another 3 weeks off sick June - Go back to work to find that they have changed all the shifts patterns, are re-organising the department and chances are I will have to be interviewed for my own job again (third time in 4yrs) and that they are also possibly moving. July - Molly is taken to emergency vets with massive lump and kept in for emergency operation I knew I'd put the kiss of death on this year when on new years eve i toasted that this year couldn't be worse than last year....how feckin wrong was I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyMalc Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 I have to admit that my year hasn't been half as bad as that of many people who have posted, but I feel that the bad/sad things this year so far have vastly outnumbered the good things. Most recently my mum was diagnosed with cancer of the colon. She's just had her op to have the tumours removed, but we're still waiting for the results of the biopsies to come back next week, which will tell us whether or not it has spread Since March I've had to deal with Mal's cancer, after the first visit to the specialist. He's now finished his last radiotherapy session, and this is basically it; they can't do any more for him. Although it is a known side effect from the radio therapy I'm not at all happy with Mal having such a snotty, crusty nose. He's clearly bothered by it, and if it heals it'll take weeks. He's not himself and I'm worried. Jobwise it went from bad to worse from January up till 3 weeks ago. I really like my current job, but it is a 6 month contract to begin with, after which the project that I'm working on will be evaluated, and if the big bosses decide that it isn't efficient and effective I'll be out of a job again. Of course I'm hoping that I won't be, but seeing as this year so far hasn't dealt me the best cards I'm not convinced that I'm not back to looking for another job come christmas time.

Tobleronie Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 I forgot to mention The absess in my tooth the day before my mother died that ended with me having the tooth taken out the same day a face like a hamster and 4 weeks of diahrea (sp) (lost 10lb in weight so not so bad really ), Stepdaughter has cut off all ties with our family for no reason whatsoever Son also got done for drink driving At audit meeting business made a loss last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathyw Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Stepdaughter - her loss mate. Your poorly toothypeg being removed - less weight in your mouth. Kenny well - like I said you know he is safe now. Audit - (anything to do with you having wednesday off?) well yes I'll give you that one - but don't worry I will always be prepared to feed you should the need arise. That should have cheered you up. Seriously you have had a crap year so far but I have a feeling it will turn around and you will be happier with the rest of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
