Tranquility --how would you define/demonstrate/appl y it to one or many aspects of your life?

How can I stop feeling life long pain from not calling 911 when a family member told me they had

chest pains, back when I was 23 years old? They came over and told me their chest hurt and I told them to get it checked out, and they said "well...I have an appointment on so and so date" they died within 12 hours of a heart attack

Then, when I was at the viewing, a mean family member told me it was my fault they were lying dead in the casket. This post makes me want to cry. If only I could go back...

My father's neighbor, whom he confided in, told him he had chest pains. Dumb bitch asked him, Do you

Want To go to the hospital ? He was down, and said no. She should have called his family, or just taken him. And of course he died five days later. I was out of state, and he was supposed to come down the following month, so I could take care of him. I don't know if all people act this way, but it sucks.

My sister manipulated Dad's meds, and when he left messages that he needed help, she ignored them to cash in on inheritance. Long story.....put it on here before... Thank God I took Dad to the hospital eleven years before that, and gave him 11 extra years. In emergent situations, PASSIVE STUPID LAZY PEOPLE SUCK!!

Ok, to the mean woman that is passing judgment in an extreme way. My father was very depressed, and blind, and diabetic. His blood sugars were 250 a day, I found out later. My sister not only sid not pick up certain meds like nitroglycerin, but he was never given a new meter. He could barely walk. His heat did not work upstairs. His bathtub was broken. His stairs going to his home were broken. He was not taken to a cardiologist in 4 years, and I had made plans to take care of him, but my sister planned his death prior to the time I could get him down South. It is a long, grueling, convoluted story, but I assure the judgmental person or persons on here, that I INVESTIGATED for three years the finances, and circumstances surrounding my dad's death. Not only did my sister come back to the house four hour after she found him dead, and what a birdie told her he was dead, but she and her bf went straight to the bank that morning to ask the broker if they could cash in the forged annuities . Since this is like a LIFETIME movie, and I cannot obviously spend three pages telling you the evidence, or supporting details, then I would appreciate if the judgmental people that would look the other way, or never spend three years trying to find justice and details of their father's untimely and suddenly suspicious death, to stop. There was enough for the homicide detective in the D.A.s office to meet with me. He kept saying he would open the case, and would also try to talk me out of going forward. I live 1,000 miles away, or I would be in his face to interview the FIVE people involved. He also saw the forgeries, and odd financial activities, and THREE of my relatives wrote him. If I decide i could move there again, I will pick up this fight again. There is also the Bank of America Manager, former broker involved as well. If they would ever spill the truth, then the motive would be extremely clear, and the D.A.'s office would have to open it, but unfortunately, my laywer gave me a conflict of interest to cover up this evidence. So, it's complicated, and anyone who wants to make this simple, or make me crazy, well, you're clueless.

Pink slime................

Are you for it or against it and why......

Update: May 16, 2012.
I agree with you to a point....but I believe this product has been unjust because of the media....the reason the plants are closing is because the people that use to use the product have stopped using it which has resulted in a loss of business....Why hasn't that happened to other products that are far more dangerous.... This product has nothing in it besides beef....beef that is actually better and leaner that what most would call 100% beef....it doesn't have harmones unless the main cow had harmones....it doesn't have any chemicals besides ammonian which is a natural chemical in the human body.... Are you aware that since 2000 somanilia (sp) posioning has decreased by more than 50%.....

Update: May 16, 2012.
Well I guess the majority are against it.....now is that because of all the hype it's getting lately or is it because you just don't know what it is.... When I first read about it...I was like gross....then I started doing some research and I have found out a ton.....you can take tours of the factor where it is processed..... So let's start off with ammonium...it is a product of the body that is produced when proteins are broken down...it is a waste product that is disposed of when we urinate.... Did you know they use it in chocolate, cheese and baking products....and it is also your normal table salt which is used in almost every product on the market....it's not like they are pumping gallons into the meat....it's a fine gas used to make sure all bacteria is killed and it is expelled during the heating process..... Okay let's talk about the quality of the meat used....it looks almost like stew meat....the problem being it has more fat....before the process was used a person would have to trim the meat away from the fat....which was time consuming and expensive...it was cheaper for them to throw it away the to sell it....the quality of the meat is good it was just the process of getting it....so that's why this guy came up with the process....basically all they do is heat the meat....then spin it at a tremendous speed to separate the meat from the fat.....the meat that is left over is the lowest fat meat you can get..... Now for those older that says well it's not like the meat I'm use to eating....the process has been around for over 50 years so more than likely you have been eating it for awhile.... So here you have people that complain because the products we get aren't safe enough each time someone gets food poisoning....and others complaining about the cost of foods....both of these are taken care of with this product..... If it get's banned....you can expect the price of meat to go up quit a bit...... Just thought you would like to know......

i need to see a dentist but have no insurance. what should i do to remedy this situation?

What is a Borderline Personality? Can it be dangerous? My visiting friend has it.

My friend's been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, so I'm curious about how dangerous it can be.

She actually told me that she'd be capable of throwing a child off a balcony if her husband was refusing her love... !!!

She seems like a very sweet, caring person, so it just seems nuts that she's telling me she could potentially have an episode like this.

She says she's safe with my son, as it would be her desire to have love demonstrated by her partner (i.e. her child's parent). I don't really believe she could do anything so bad, she doesn't have kids so she doesn't know the love you feel for them, but am a little curious about what this whole Borderline Personality Disorder means.

She's staying with me for a couple of weeks, and was going to help me get my son at daycare because I won't be able to lift him for a while, but I'm wondering if this is really a good idea...

So far, other than some inappropriate dinner conversation, her visit has been really nice and my son likes playing with her. I'm thinking I will have to be sure she's never alone with him, and if she does get him at the daycare I'll have to be in the car and walk in with her.

Thanks for your insight.

Thanks for the responses. I will not have her alone with my son, not after her saying in a distinct situation she could imagine having an episode of hurting her OWN child as a way of getting attention/love from her partner (she has no child, it's theoretical, but she says she could threaten a spouse who wasn't helping or was refusing to show love by holding the child over a balcony and letting it fall, then jumping after. She said she just goes nuts sometimes. She's come to keep me company and help me post op, as I'm getting varicose vein surgery and won't be able to drive for 10+ days. I can get in the car to get my son at daycare, but can't drive or pick anything up-so she'll help with that.

I'm feelin' it this past few weeks and especially days... how about you?

My father is dying of cancer, I'm hoping to hear from people who've had similar experiences

My dad was diagnosed with cancer last year. At first it seemed like surgery was going to fix it, but it spread and after radical surgery, and chemotherapy, he has now been told there's nothing more the Doctors can do.

He is deteriorating pretty quickly, and its breaking my heart seeing him go through this.

I am so lucky in that I have a very close, supportive family. I also have some really good friends, and this whole situation is made easier by the love and positive input I am getting.

I appreciate all of this with all of my heart, but I still find it hard to express my emotions.

Apart from when I was with my Dad at the hospital when they told him it was terminal, I havent cried. This was 10 weeks ago.

I feel like I can deal with this, its just hard. I moved up to be with my family, and have started a new job, and trying to find a flat to live in.

I am staying with people I dont know very well, just while I am working, until I find a place to live.

I havent got any money, and I am single, and supporting my mum and younger siblings through this.

I know that so may people go through so much worse every day, and I am well aware of my blessings, but lately I have been feeing really anxious all the time, and keep having 'worst case scenario' day dreams. I need to be there for my dad, and I know that for him, I am doing everything I can.

I feel sick a lot of the time, and I cant sleep very well. I mainly function ok, I get everything done, but I feel empty inside, like a zombie sometimes.

I am a nurse for elderly people with dementia, and while I love my job, I am finding it a struggle to keep smiling at work. Its a new job so I am still working it out.

I'm getting about 4 - 6 hours sleep a night, working 12 hour shifts, sleeping on an aquaintances spare sofa bed 4 nights a week, and spend all my time off helping look after my dad, and my grandparents, who are in their 90's.

I love my mum, and I am there for her, but she is a difficult person, and it can be tiring dealing with her.

I am interested to hear from people who have been through similar things, I really want to get an insight into how others deal with this kind of thing. Any tips on how I can control my anxiety would be very much appreciated too.

Haters can jog on.

Thank you for all of your replies, they were al helpful in different ways. I am dealing with it, I am no way going to break down, not a chance, I can hold myself together fine. Its just the inner feeling of emptiness, that I guess I just wondered if it was 'normal' to feel like that. My little sisters have cried and I comfort them but I cant let my own tears out, I do get choked up with it, but I force it back down inside. I have been exercising, and it is a good release, I power walk to work (2 miles) and I do a zumba class. I'm training for a 10k charity run for cancer research. Because of my variable shift pattern its hard to exercise with regularity though, but I do understand the benefits of exercise, I have always been active, and done martial arts and yoga in the past, just cant get a regular class going at the moment. I think once i get into the groove at work, and get my own place to live, I will settle a bit in myself. I work in a city an hour away from my folks, so I sleep there while on shift, then return to my folks house for my days off. I know that I can get through this, and its really heartened me getting replies form others who have been through similar or worse stuff. I guess I just needed to know that its something that hppens, and it is possible to get through it. So thank you all very much, I wish you all the best.
