In My Own Words

Ghost Whisperer

Kim — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 14:33:52 +0000

I watched Ghost Whisperer last night and woke up this morning with the feeling God wants me to write a warning about it so here it is.

Be Afraid!

Kim — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 12:26:07 +0000

A little rant against the banks turned into something scarier than I bargained for when I did some looking around on the internet.

A Very DEFT Scam

Kim — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 02:03:28 +0000

Most people will have heard the boiling frog story which says a frog dropped in boiling water will jump out but, if the water is heated slowly enough, the frog will allow itself to be boiled to death because it won't register the danger. Right now I feel like that frog except for one thing. I can feel the water getting hotter and I want to jump out but I can't because they have put a lid on the pot!

Biggest Loser

Kim — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 21:40:06 +0000

I have applied to be on Australia's Biggest Loser reality weight loss show. This year it is for couples and my son wants to go on it too so he will be my partner if we are accepted.

Struggling

Kim — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 02:20:16 +0000

I'm really struggling to settle in to the new place. I think not smoking inside is leaving me with a dose of nicotine withdrawal even though I am still smoking.

Changes

Kim — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 13:35:59 +0000

The one thing you can be sure of in life is that nothing stays the same. My life has been pretty stable for the past couple of years but things have changed recently.

Old Or Accurate?

Kim — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 19:59:30 +0000

I never expected to be old. I thought old was an attitude, not an age, and I thought I would never have old attitudes but I have begun to feel old. I hear myself comparing today with yesterday and I can't help wondering if I am old or accurate.

He Loves My Car

Kim — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 02:34:38 +0000

The good thing about owning an old car is some motor mechanics love old cars and I have found one of them.

The Ten Commandments

Kim — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 22:40:17 +0000

A religious booklet left in my letterbox made me think about how well I obey the ten commandments.

Looking Back

Kim — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 14:12:44 +0000

I was browsing through some of my older blog entries and it was a bit of a shock to see how far I have come since getting treatment for my depression!

Self-Soothing

Kim — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 03:42:21 +0000

Something that has been bothering me lately is why my self soothing behaviours have increased when I expected them to decrease in line with my decreased levels of anxiety and stress.

Anger

Kim — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 02:03:01 +0000

I'm trying to write an anger management article for my site but I just can't compress such a big topic down to a simple article.

God’s Love

Kim — Sat, 31 May 2008 01:28:32 +0000

This morning I asked God if there was anything I could do for Him and He said he wants me to write a blog entry about His love. He said he would help me write it so here it is.

Bill Henson

Kim — Wed, 28 May 2008 01:20:19 +0000

The controversy over the work of Australian photographic artist, Bill Henson, leaves me with mixed feelings. On one hand I can see the artistic merit in Henson's work but, on the other hand, I am a rabid hater of pornography whatever form it takes.

Online Games And ID Theft

Kim — Mon, 26 May 2008 13:26:47 +0000

I haven't been able to get into the latest online game I have been playing so I'm suffering computer game addiction withdrawal. It's a state I might be stuck with, however, to keep myself safe from identity theft.

Heaven And Hell

Kim — Thu, 22 May 2008 23:34:59 +0000

I've been thinking a lot about death lately or, more specifically, what will happen after death. Here's what I imagine Heaven and Hell will be like.

PayPal Phishing Scam

Kim — Sun, 18 May 2008 02:14:56 +0000

The scammers are after peoples PayPal accounts as well as their bank accounts from the looks of the phishing email I just got.

Four In The Morning

Kim — Thu, 15 May 2008 20:31:33 +0000

It's four in the morning and there's nothing to do so I decided to write about nothing.

Big Brother Begins Again

Kim — Mon, 12 May 2008 07:39:28 +0000

The 2008 Australian version of Big Brother has begun and they have hired the boy who rose to fame on the back of an out of control party to make a guest appearance. I'm having mixed reactions.

The English Language

Kim — Sun, 04 May 2008 04:02:51 +0000

I have often lamented the loss of standards in todays writing when it comes to spelling and grammar. Just lately, however, it has occurred to me that this may merely be just another step in the evolution of the English language.

My Depression Update

Kim — Fri, 02 May 2008 02:50:22 +0000

I have been on antidepressants for over a year now so I thought it was time to take a look at how my depression is going.

Wins And Losses

Kim — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 02:13:28 +0000

Life is a never ending stream of wins and losses. I'm winning and losing too but, these days, I try to focus more on the wins than the losses and it makes for a happier life.

Generation Gap

Kim — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 01:10:25 +0000

I've been watching a bit of telly lately and here are a few random thoughts concerning TV, advertising, reality shows, the generation gap and whatever else came to mind as I wrote the entry.

Ozzy Ozbourne

Kim — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 11:44:10 +0000

I love Ozzy Ozbourne but only because he loves his wife.

More About Addictions

Kim — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 07:46:22 +0000

There have been a lot of articles lately about an increase in the number of people suffering from sex and pornography addictions. I have never really thought of these from an addiction perspective before but now I am.

Addictive Personality

Kim — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 05:05:40 +0000

In the dictionary, under the term "addictive personality", there really should be a photo of me! This entry is an update on how things are going with my food, gambling and computer game addictions.

Wedding Trip

Kim — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 12:49:20 +0000

I went interstate to attend my brothers wedding and it was a good experience but a thought provoking one in many ways.

Election 2007

Kim — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 06:09:52 +0000

Australia voted not all that long ago and the country changed hands for the first time in 11 years. According to a little poll taken at the time most people don't believe the nation will prosper under the new government. So why did they vote them in?

Diet Update

Kim — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 21:31:36 +0000

I'm doing well on the diet but I face the biggest challenge yet as I am being parted from my diet company for a whole week soon.

The Meaning Of Life

Kim — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 18:04:45 +0000

In this blog entry I tackle the weighty question that has plagued mankind ever since God threw Adam and Eve out of the garden of Eden. What is the meaning of life?

Email Scams

Kim — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 06:06:17 +0000

I have a dead business email address and it is being targeted by scammers. What worries me is some of these emails are extremely convincing and I want to add my two cents worth to the warnings people can find online if they look.

Just For Fun

Kim — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 20:59:28 +0000

The slot machine owners have begun an advertising campaign using the slogan "Just for fun". I have been watching more television lately and I can't help wondering if the recent increase in my problem gambling behaviour is connected to their campaign.

Diet Blues

Kim — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 21:26:18 +0000

I have been on my diet for 12 weeks now and it's wearing thin. I am sick of going without my usual foods but I can't give up yet.

Glowing Christians

Kim — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 13:27:00 +0000

Last night I saw two glowing Christians and I want to be like them so much.

Chemical Vampires

Kim — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 07:57:55 +0000

Chemical imbalances in my brain left me battling with vampires in my dreams but the real vampires are depression and anxiety and I am beating those demons at long last.

Corey Worthington Delaney

Kim — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 15:47:15 +0000

Sixteen year old Corey Worthington Delaney will have found out, by now, the law is no laughing matter and real life has a much bigger bite to it than his parents ever taught him!

One Sure Thing

Kim — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 07:47:15 +0000

The only thing you can be sure of in this life is you can't be sure of anything. Or can you?

Black Forest Cake

Kim — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 15:40:10 +0000

I resisted all temptation to break my diet until Christmas day but I couldn't resist the black forest cake.

Merry Christmas

Kim — Sun, 23 Dec 2007 01:51:45 +0000

It is day five of week four of my Lite-n-Easy diet and I am starting to see results. Christmas temptations are not getting to me or not yet anyway.

Feeling Empty

Kim — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 22:38:00 +0000

I'm feeling empty and discontent and it isn't just because I can't eat much. Eating does, however, seem to have been the antidote to these feelings until now.

Alive But Hungry

Kim — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 02:10:56 +0000

I'm still alive and I have cut back on the diet coke but my stomach doesn't seem to be able to recognise fruit and vegetables as real food so I'm almost always hungry or peckish.

Am I dying?

Kim — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 15:49:44 +0000

This has been a strange night and I wonder if I will be here to see the sun rise.

A Word From God

Kim — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 00:41:34 +0000

God spoke to me about my health. He wants me to cut back on the diet coke. This entry tells why.

My Diet

Kim — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 14:03:38 +0000

It is day one of my new diet and I feel thinner already. The day began well but it isn't ending too happily.

Weighty Issues

Kim — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 02:26:38 +0000

I have to lose weight so I have joined a weight loss company and I start next week. This entry explains why and also contains an update on how I am faring with my gambling addiction.

Latest Developments

Kim — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 00:55:06 +0000

This entry talks about the latest developments in my life with regard to my health, my gambling and my unrequited love.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Kim — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 03:29:16 +0000

My doctor thinks I have COPD and she wants me to have an x-ray and tests to find out for sure. I think she is probably right but I also believe God recently healed at least some of the damage.

Meralgia Paresthetica

Kim — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 04:18:21 +0000

I have diagnosed myself as having Meralgia Paresthetica and my self prescribed cure is to lose weight. I just hope it will work.

Turning A Corner

Kim — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 15:46:44 +0000

I feel like I have turned a corner with my gambling problem. It's early days yet but I actually think I am no longer addicted.

Picks Disease

Kim — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 07:07:58 +0000

My mother has Picks disease and I went to visit her last week. She had no idea how ironic her complaints about the other people in her group home were.
