Good afn. Tumbleweed are you really a motorcycle mama? I remember the day (reminiscing).

Alien, nice to meet you hon. Glad you are here.

Hi Tumleweed !!! Good to see you. Isn't it you son that has the harley? Love, horsefly

hi horsefly : )

TW, Heres a hug for you too (((((((tumbleweed))))) How many children do you have ? How old are they? Your Friend, horsefly

(((((TW)))))

I know how you feel. Everybody is doin their own thing and only seem to give you attention when they want something. Yep. I have had that for a long time and have finally started putting my foot down. It's made for some really nasty battles; some still fuming. They don't like when you stand up for yourself and mean it.

You hang in there and be you. Don't let YOU get lost; I did and it's so hard to find you once you are lost.

Yes, in my younger days I was a motorcycle mama. Last I rode was in 1989 after my evil-x (then hubby) had a really bad crash. He didn't allow cycles after that and this hubby really isn't into them and would never let me on one by myself anyway. I do remember tho when I was pregnant w/ my first bein outbsck of my mom's house and we were ramp jumpin on my dirt bike. My mom came flyin out the door yellin at me to get off that bike coz I was pregnant and I had a bsby to watch over, and she'd not be the one raising my kid if I was stupid enough to kill myself. The ramps were only babyramps anyway. Then when my oldest two kids were young I'd ride them around the yard on the 3-wheeler. Fond memories.

TW, post as you used to if it helps you. There are folks her that will listen and post back; me for one.

(((holdin you close)))

Hello TW, I guess today is another day. Let's trust it will be a good one. It is pouring rain here and I am staying in with the dogs. I am going to cook spagetti. Even though I am somewhere out here on a computer I understand how you might be feeling. Sometimes I feel like everyone is out there doing their thing and I am not even sure what my thing is anymore. Heres another hug for you (((TW))) horsefly

Hi everyone!
It is so good to read all of your posts!
I grew up on motorcycles. Both my parents rode and I rode behind my dad. My mother was State Director of the Motor Maids. No, that is NOT metermaid. Those are the ones that give tickets. My mother rode a sportster- Harley. My father had a matching one. Before that, they had BSA's, Yamaha, etc. We had a couple dirt bikes too. I also raced go-karts as a kid. They were the kind that got up to 45 mph. My dad and I did that. Mother watched. Fond memories.

We also traveled on the motorcycles. I remember when I was 13, I'm now 55, we took a trip to San Diego. We live in Washington state. That was a very memorable trip. I kept a journal. Wish I had it now.
:( Both my parents are gone now. Oh my gosh, that makes me want to cry.

My mother rode to Chattennooga, or however you spell it, Tennessee, on her Sportster. She made the papers. I am proud of her! When I was a kid, the other kids made fun of me because my mother rode. Now I'm proud of her. :)

Code-But Still looking,…..
That was funny when you said you still have the title to the bike! :)

Mama, TW, Scared, Alien, and Horsefly,….I feel like I have friends to talk with. It is so good to know that I can come and sit down at the computer and you all will be there. I don't have a circle of friends either that I talk to on a regular basis. And I certainly couldn't share what we do here, with anyone else. They don't understand. Period. They don't understand. Have you ever experienced trying to share your codependent feelings with someone you thought you were close with?,…only to get shamed? I sure have and it leaves you feeling worse and on the defensive.

Mama,…when you begin to stand up for yourself,….being a rather gentle spirit at times,…..how does one stand their ground. I can be assertive at times and sometimes it scares me to death,…my heart pounds so hard and I feel shakey in situations like that. I feel like if I speak up for myself like everyone is going to hate me and I'll be all by myself. That sounds silly doesn't it, once I put it into writing. But I think that is the bottom line. I'm afraid of losing people if I stand up for myself. But I know I should.

I have to leave now, but I really look forward to coming back and seeing what you all wrote.
Have a wonderful day.
Your friend,
Jacque :)

Hey there

I am off to the big outdoor market to stock up on cherries and grapes and stuff that i can eat a lot of because the stress of everything is upon me. I am trying to also get rid of the ciggies. So i will try to transfer for now, my inner tension, to eating copious amounts of cherries and grapes etc…instead of weed and smokes etc…Boy, i better get a lot of fruit, these emotions i have been avoiding are HUGE! Yikes! Anyways, hope i don't run into my friend, because i am not strong at all yet, and he is very charming etc…1-2-3-here i go…..
