Hello ...Hope your doing okay...I just had a question for you. O have noticed peoples reactions and attitudes towards me...I went to a Humane Society here in Portland, Or where I was trying to volunteer in handle the animals in the pound. I went to one entrance and went to a desk-the girl told me I had to go to another desk at an office located next door-I went there and the girl at the desk, after I told her what I needed, got rather rude with me in how she acted to me...she got somewhat mad....irate....and I got a little made and made a comment like, "well, it's gonna be nice volunteering at this happy place" or something like that.....and walked out.......I was tired from riding my bike there...and the traffic, for about a mile going there is really bad...semi-trucks, fast traffic.....crappy streets-holes, cracks, rocks, etc....so I was worn out...... Anyway, I was thinking last night that sometimes I talk like I'm drunk or something...and there is a possibility she may have thought that.....I don't know......But this happened before with another girl about 20 years old...and I asked her a question about a bus I was taking....she got pretty ignorant-how she talked to me....
I'm just worried and wondering if my slurred speech-and/or miscommunication may be doing this....or if it may just be the person I am talking to is having a bad day or something......I was thinking I am going to make a card to keep with me telling who I am talking to that I have TBI, and have speech/communication problems....and to please have patience with me...something...What do you think? I'm gonna ask other members for their ideas also....Thanks...Phil :D I mean, it did bum me out for awhile...but I pray for the ability to think things thru and patience....But have any ideas? How's the weather in Texas? It has been raining "so long" here in Portland, Oregon

I used to take both my kids up to a small mountain in North Carolina, when I was still in the Army....She went on to continue...Anyway, that's great Brenda!

gary said… Alcohol was always a good friend of mine...and it's a loss i am not done grieving....although when I am in her(alcohol's)arms...she takes me places that I cannot afford to go. Places that involve poorer decisions....places that involve more depression and anxiety...and for me personally...she never tells me when to quit.....
I can still be a grade A-smart ass without drinking, and while i sure miss the social aspects of it...my head has been clearer...and i am less anxious. is it because i don't drink...I don't know...and I don't need to know. All I need to know and remember about our(alcohol and me)last date...was that it ended in very un-pretty way.
not every road is right for everybody...just sharing my 2 or 3 cents....
