| So the girl I'm babysitting tonight loves sitting on my lap. It may be because I've known her since she was a newborn baby and I've changed her diapers before. She's now 7 years old and her parents have been family friends for years now. I was there when they brought her home, so I've known her for the extent of her whole life. Is it normal for a girl that's known you for as long as they've been alive to sit on your lap, or does it stem from other feelings they have? I'm just a little confused. She is very sweet and loving. I just don't want to hurt her in any way, weather it's emotional or physical. Her and her parents trust me, so I just let her sit on my lap even in front of her parents and they're okay with that. Should I tell her to stop even though she's like a sister to me? She has always said that I'm like an older brother to her. I'm always looking out for her. I get her birthday and Christmas presents. I'm always present at her birthday parties because she wants me there! Anyways, thanks for letting me vent my concerns here and please let me know what I should do. |
| If you're looking for some of my works here, I purged a lot of them as in almost all of them. I working on new ones that will be better than my last ones. Happy writing and reading! Kenny B. |
| I hope you've kept copies of them somewhere - on a hard drive, USB, whatever. One thing I tell all writers is never throw anything away that you have written. Here's an example: I wrote a story in 1993 that, looking back, was rubbish. In 2011, I found it on an old floppy disk, and used the basic story but completely rewrote it. In 2012, I sold the rewritten version. These old works can always be prompts or rewritten when you're in a better writing place. |
| Has anyone ever experienced the joy of gaining someone that you've come to love, then having them yanked away too soon? Today I did. The ten year old girl I babysat for was killed today in a bad car wreck. I need prayers just to keep me sane and away from booze. I need help and a friend to talk to. Please help! |
| So I'm still babysitting my neighbor girl (an 8 year old) and she came out of her room crying again and now she's asleep on my lap. She is a sweetheart and I hate to see her scared like that. She has a big heart and is a very friendly little girl. I can't see why she has to have so many bad dreams. I love her as if she were my own daughter and I'm her second figurative dad. I don't know how to put her at ease so her bad dreams stop interfering with her sleep. I really hope I find a remedy. Wish me luck. I'm gonna need it. |
| What really creeps me out is when I'm babysitting and the girl I literally just tucked in, wearing her white onesie comes stumbling out of her room and came up to me tears in her eyes. I hugged her gave her some water then tucked her back into her bed. Kissed her forehead and sat there holding her hand until she fell back to sleep. Literally broke my heart. |
| Babysitting again tonight! My neighbor girl this time. She very smart but she acts dumb most of the time. She is also very hard on herself. I literally just stopped her from hitting herself again. She hates herself for some reason. I asked her why and she didn't have an answer. I love her like she's my own so I hugged her tightly as she cried in anguish against herself. She asked my how I could love someone as ugly as her. She isn't ugly by any means. She is one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen. Please keep her in your thoughts as she is having a very hard day today. I really hope tomorrow is better for her because I love her like she is my own. |
| Today was an "okay" day. Quotes around okay because it actually wasn't okay. It wasn't even slightly okay at all. For starters I got up and I couldn't move my hands at all. I had laid on them all night and they were pretty much completely blue/white. I thought for sure I'd lose them. Thankfully I didn't, as you can see. Breakfast went horribly. First I burnt the bacon I was cooking, then my bread got set on fire in the toaster and I had to use tongs just to get the slices out. Next I tried cooking hash browns. That was an experience in it self. My gas range was completely dead. Ugh. What else could go wrong. I decided to just go without breakfast. Bad decision. I got in mg car to get a new range for my oven, and my car wouldnt start. The battery had died so I put it on the charger. Then the new indoor cat I adopted clawed the sofa beyond recognition. I talked to my friend over the phone, or tried to anyways. Cell service was gone. I cussed and threw a few things. I then could start my car so I started to go to Casey's General store for a healthy doughnut breakfast, but I didn't make it there because as I was driving there someone ran a stop sign and plowed into my passenger side. Now I gotta get a new car. Great. No money, possibly getting laid off from my job, no breakfast and now no girlfriend because I tried to tell her that I couldn't pick her up since my car is now totaled so her logic was to break up with me. CAN LIFE JUST GIVE ME A DAMN BREAK ALREADY!!!!!! |
| I'm pissed off right now. Not because of my dad this time or any of my coworkers either. I'm pissed because of mainstream media sources. They report how many kids die because of guns or abusive parents and even the occasional health problem. That's fine and all because kids shouldn't be dying at 9 to 17 years old. Even 21 to 50's is too young to die. What I'm really pissed off about is how many kids die from drug overdoses every year and yet not a peep of any of that. You know why? I know why! It's because the pharmaceutical companies have news outlets like ABC, CNN, NBC and MSNBC on a leash like puppies. Pharmaceutical companies have made their drugs addictive for a reason. They also have side effects for a reason. They make them addictive so you're hooked on them and will lie to the person that writes your prescriptions just so you can get your fix. They make them have side effects just so they can dope you up on another medication that they make. Here's the cold hard truth. Mainstream media, aka, fake news, makes millions off drug sales. They don't care if you die from a drug overdose and they'll just brush it off. I hope the mainstream media companies go belly up so they can't kill anyone else. Just had to vent. Thanks for listening... or rather reading. Happy writing and reading, Kenny B. |
| I posted here last night about my grief and pain, and now I'm just plain numb after last night. My physical pain has subdued a little, but my emotion pain is still in full force. If you know anyone that has depression, anxiety or any other mental health condition, just be there for them. Tell them that you care. It will help them. Trust me I know. It hurts and words cut sharper than knives when you tell someone with depression, anxiety or any other mental health condition to "suck it up." Iv had that said to me before and it stings. It cuts deeper than a razor blade. Just help them through it. Don't lie to them either. They'll see right through it. Don't ask me how we know, we just do. Please be patient with them as well. They will open up to you when they're ready. They may ask you to leave, but be persistent and don't leave them alone for long periods of time when they're in their "lows" because self harm is possible during those times. I would know all to well about that. I am feeling better, but I'm still emotionally hurting. Just be there and tell them that they have a friend in you. Just be there for them an no matter how much you want to yell at them, don't do that. It'll just make them go back into their shell. They will think you don't care about what they're going through. Please be kind and just listen when they need you. Periodically ask then his they're doing and grab a coffee, lunch or dinner with them. That will show them that you really do care about their feelings and why they feel that way. Peace be with you. Kenny B. |

| Here's a thought. Grief sucks. Losing a loved one sucks. Having an actress that you have a major crush on dying sucks. Here's another thought. Life sucks. Life has a way of sucking the life out of you. Ironic isn't it? I don't think so. Life for me seems peechy keen to onlookers, but reality is, I'm struggling. I have no grandparents to talk to anymore, and I can't take any more losses of family members. I hate my life. My life is a ticking time bomb and I don't know when it's gonna blow up. Maybe I need to take time off from work. Or maybe I just need a break from reality. Another thought. Depression, anxiety, autism, tourette syndrome, PTSD, ocd and insomnia all suck. It's rare to find a person like me. I'm not worth much though. I'm not a famous author, actor or singer and most likely never will be. My life isn't worth much. The little self worth I still have is the only thread that's keeping me sane and alive. I'm not suicidal. I got over that challenge quite a while ago. I sometimes wonder if God really loves us, why does he do this! I've screamed at him! I've cursed his name! I've told him that I can't believe in him. He's turned his back on me because that's the only logical explanation I have for all thus rambling and ranting. I can't look up without feeling hatred and guilt. I'm a lost cause. I need to let go and let the cards fall where they may. I hope these feelings don't escalate because if they do, you won't hear from me ever again. |
| So it's Saturday April 27th, 2024 and my neighbor asked me yo babysit his daughter which I accepted. I've been babysitting her for almost ten years now, but tonight I'd different. She isn't feeling well. She got sick at school and now she's very tired. She fell to sleep next to me on the couch during her favorite movie and now I can't leave even though her dad is back because she's laying on my arm and I don't want to wake her up. She is 11 years old and she has a huge crush on me. She is so beautiful too. Should I stay and sleep next to her, or wake her up and leave so her dad doesn't get the wrong idea? |
| When: Friday April 26, 2024 at 7:18 PM. Where: Adair, Cass, Adams and Union counties in Iowa Severe weather and tornadoes are scattered all around Greenfield in Adair county. There are five confirmed tornadoes over by Crest on headed toward Greenfield. Greenfield is my home town. Pray for me, my family and friends. I am very concerned that I might be caught in the shot of it and may not make it through because of either injuries or a broken heart from losing friends that may be caught in it. I'm very worried. |

| I'm 26 and just got diagnosed with atrial fibrillation aka A-Fib. It puts me at 5X the risk of heart attack and stroke. I have a two week (14 day) heart monitor. It's smaller than the size of a smartphone, but it's driving me crazy! I'm really hoping I don't have any more episodes where I pass out or become unconscious again like I did today. Please keep me in your thoughts (and if you're religious) your prayers too. |
| I have AFIB also and am on meds for it. I also had a heart ablation several years ago. I have not had any recent problems so the meds work. I have been on blood thinners since 2016 when I had a severe attack. The blood thinner helps prevent blood clots and strokes. Yes, the monitors are a pain but they tell the doctor about your heart and they are necessary. If you keep to the meds, give up caffeine, get exercise eat healthy, you should be fine. Always tell your cardiologist how you are feeling. I will keep you in my prayers. Be safe Keep well and Keep Writing Dianne |
| I've vowed to never take any prescription meds ever since I almost took an almost lethat overdose of strong opioids back in highschool and was found unconscious on the bathroom floor. That was a turning point for me. I've never touched prescription meds since then and most likely never will. I hope that my concerns were nothing, and I'm just having abnormal heart beats, but I'm always the "lucky" one. |
