I'm back MelBrown

[Melbrown2]

Long story short... I got logged out of my account... forgot my password, after too many tries I got locked out. And can't log in... though tired everything. This group & the friends I've made here mean so much. Hope to reconnect to you all & even make new friends.

Weird, I just did a member search and found "Melbrown" is a current member, and there is no such member as Melbrown2. Guess you're imaginary. 🤷‍♀️

HU is getting more glitchy all the time. 😞

I'd contact someone, admins maybe? And try what the old folks like me do. Write your password down somewhere safe.

[Melbrown2 in reply to Nothing_but_books]

Lol... I did try contacting admin, not much help either. I think tech is just smarter then me 🤷🏼‍♀️😆 Or it was so long ago when I signed up that I came up with a real good password. Depression & getting older doesn't help the memory. How are you & Tara?

[Nothing_but_books in reply to Melbrown2]

"So long ago when I signed up that I came up with a real good password" 😂😂🤣

Thank you for asking! I'm muddling through. Just muddling through.

Baby's got my number. A few pathetic tweets and she's got some dried fruit. I dasn't share, it's hers. Or else.

💜💜

[Melbrown2 in reply to Nothing_but_books]

I understand how you feel... muddling is a good word to describe it. Trying to do what I can, but feel guilty that it's not enough. Been in my own head, so not helping. Glad you have Tara... our pets really know how to get us... the boys are fed & now want nothing to do with me. 😊 Though I'm sure they'll be snuggling soon.

[Nothing_but_books in reply to Melbrown2]

Feeling guilty my best isn't good enough is my number today.

Enjoy your snuggle. A good forum snafu is enough work for one day.

Had to laugh, what do we do when we forget where that safe place was LOL

❤️🐬

[Nothing_but_books in reply to Dolphin14]

Oh very nice. Laugh away, someday you too may land in the soup.

[Dolphin14 in reply to Nothing_but_books]

NBB

I'm in the soup right there beside you.

When did this happen to us?

[Nothing_but_books in reply to Dolphin14]

Dunno. Snuck up from behind and latched on, the #! @*&%!

[Dolphin14 in reply to Nothing_but_books]

Ripping the house apart looking for the glasses that are on top or the head is the kick off I think

[Nothing_but_books in reply to Dolphin14]

Oh no! You too??! Gotta laugh. 😜

There have been a number of glitches lately. I'm glad you were able to get back in.

How are things going in your end? How are the babies? What do you have planned for next week?

All good in my neck of the woods. I have no complaints

Herman just had worms and is on his wheel working out 🦔

❤️🐬

[Melbrown2 in reply to Dolphin14]

I'm glad to be back.... it's been a struggle lately. We have a couple of family members that are having serious health concerns. Main one my mother in law has stage 4 cervical cancer... she had her 1st round of chemo Friday... my husband decided to go up to see her. Hard because it's a 8 hour drive.He is planning on been back home before Christmas. We are both understandably struggling to feel the holiday spirit. Having Christmas breakfast at my mom's with my brother & his wife. Herman see Santa this year? What's your holiday plans? The boys are good, Clyde is currently snuggling me. I'm off to bed... big hugs 💗

[Dolphin14 in reply to Melbrown2]

I'm so sorry to read about your mother in law and the other families members who are not doing well.

Health is so precious both mental and physical as we know. I'm sending positive thoughts to all of you.

Aw... snuggling with Clyde is cozy and comforting I'm sure.

Christmas for me is at my oldest daughter's house. She's a fabulous cook. My granddaughter is now 14 and the spoiled princess.

You know it! Herman had his third annual visit with Santa last weekend

Welcome back Mel ❤️🦔

[Melbrown2 in reply to Dolphin14]

Thank you Dolphin14. We're trying to stay positive. I'm sure my husband surprising her with his visit helps. Had both cats snuggling me last night.Your Christmas sounds magical... can't believe your granddaughter is 14 & you had Herman for 3 years. Love the picture.

[Dolphin14 in reply to Melbrown2]

Love ya Mel

❤️❤️

[Melbrown2 in reply to Dolphin14]

💗🫂💗 Love you to Dolphin14.

Welcome back ole friend....and hope the therapy is going well....

[Melbrown2 in reply to fauxartist]

🫂💗 It's going okay... slowly- trying to get me ready to handle big stuff. I'm trying to trust it all & see the now good. Working on any art pieces? Everything okay at home? I hope you are able to enjoy the holidays.

[fauxartist in reply to Melbrown2]

Glad your taking your sessions at your own pace....gentle movement forward.... I don't believe aggressive aversion therapy is helpful for trauma....but gentle easing with constant reassurance of know your okay and your safe will be good....finally my friend, those doors are slowly being opened....

And your going to be okay....and it does get better....

I wrote you about my art contest coming up on another post....

[Melbrown2 in reply to fauxartist]

Thank you for your support & encouragement- it's a wonderful gift. Childhood trauma certainly is not easy, makes this time of year difficult. I'm so excited for you & this art contest. The concept sounds interesting I (& I'm sure others here) will be cheering you on. If you are comfortable, I hope you post some of your pieces. Would love to see them.

Happy holidays my dear one.

[fauxartist in reply to Melbrown2]

I posted a bunch here: at the bottom of a post:

Happy winter solstice and New Year resolutions ❄️☃️

Glad to see you 😁 snuggle with Clyde and sleep in today. So sorry about your mil. Hope your husband is holding up ok, too.

[Melbrown2 in reply to LifeIsThePitts]

Thank you so much LifeIsThePitts. Think it's good he's visiting her, she is very happy about her surprise. I'm going to take it easy today. 🫂

Welcome back Mel I had issues as well this week couldn't even get as far as trying to log on took nearly 24 hours to get back on.

[Melbrown2 in reply to kenster1]

Ya, very frustrating. I had to use another email to create a new account, seems to be no way to unlock my original account. How are you? And the family? The kiddos excited for the holidays?

[EarthSitter1]

welcome back, I’m always getting locked out of things I never remember passwords for anything and if I write them down I end up putting them “somewhere safe” never to be found again 🙄😂

[Melbrown2 in reply to EarthSitter1]

Ya, I have many notebooks/journals- would definitely misplace it. Especially if I wrote down passwords or other important information- get worried it'd get in the wrong hands... put in a safe smart place that fails.😄

[Melbrown2]

Hi 👋 & welcome ICEolation. That sounds horrible... I hope everything is okay. I'm sure we'll see each around.

[casablancalover14]

Welcome back Mel, and happy Holidays to you and your family.🌲🌲

[Melbrown2 in reply to casablancalover14]

Thank you. Hope you & yours have a happy holiday season too.
