On Day 18 of the 30 Days of Drama Reduction series, Cheekie adds her own brand of humour about harnessing the Drama Seeking Demon within…
Funny thing, drama, no matter how much we have (or create) in our life we have this bizarre tendency to create more from it.
It’s like a warren of fuzzy bunnies, reproducing itself exponentially.
Yes, I am talking about the tendency amongst Drama Seekers to mountain out of molehill everything. Once a crisis hits, suddenly EVERYTHING becomes a crisis.
Your thoughts?
Cheekie is back as a regular contributor to Baggage Reclaim. She’s a 30-ish single cheeky chick, just wandering her way through the dating forest and trying to leave as many bread crumbs as possible….Look out for her posts each week!

Make Money Fast by Transforming 6 Dollars into Thousands of Dollars
Here’s a legal way to supplement your income by earning thousands of dollars using the standard mail delivery service.
IT WAS PROVEN on Oprah and is COMPLETELY LEGAL!
You Can Laugh at Money Worries if You Follow This Simple Plan!
This is an opportunity for people who would like to work at home, and is an opportunity for them to invest time to get the lifestyle they have been wanting!
READ ON: Read this entire message carefully! (Print it out or download it.)
I found this on a bulletin board, and decided to try it.
Step 1: Get 6 separate one dollar bills, get 6 pieces of paper and write the following on the paper PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST. Wrap each dollar bill in each note, and include your name and address. Next mail the envelopes to the six people on the list.
Step 2: Now take the number 1 name off the list below, and move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, 2 becomes 1, etc.) Make sure to add your name as number 6 on the list.
Step 3: Now post your article to at least 200 newsgroups and message boards. The more you post the more responses you’ll get, and the more money you’ll make!
DIRECTIONS TO POST: (1)=open a blank word processor file(MS Word, Notepad, etc.), and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the edit menu select paste. Past a copy of this letter onto the word processor document so you can add your name to the list. (2)=save your new word processor file as text file. (3)=Log on to search engines like yahoo.com, google.com, altavista.com, excite.com, etc. then you search with the subject “money making message boardâ€, “millionaire message board†or “money making forum†etc. (4)=Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of the letter and selecting paste from the edit menu, paste it. Fill in the subject, this will be the header that everyone will see as they scroll through the list of the posted groups. Click the post button, submit button, etc. You are done with the first one! Just copy and paste the same letter to the other groups. It will take about 30 seconds for each group. Remember the more newsgroups or message boards you post the more money you will make! You have to post a minimum of 200. That’s it! You will be soon be receiving money from all over the world, you may eventually need to rent a P.O. Box due to the large amount of mail you will be receiving. If you want to stay anonymous, you can make up a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. Just make sure all addresses are correct. When your money begins to come in, give it the first 10 percent to charity with spirit and share a good fortune!
The List:
1.Nichlas St. Lawrence, 689A Victory Hwy., West Greenwich RI 02817
2.Ryan Joseph, 338 N.College St., Newcomerstown OH 43832
3.Meg Nunn, 528 17th Place, Snohomish WA 98290

Oh look, I could feed the demons spam!
Haha…I hear demons love spam!
But anyway, I can remember so many times I fed the demons. I’d be sitting there in full freakout mode and poor beautifulbabydaughter would be trying her best to talk me down. How sad is it when the teenager realizes you’re feeding drama demons and you don’t have a clue.
Positive self talk and refocusing my energy on something else work fairly well for me. It also helps that now I recognize those demons when I hear ’em knockin’ at the door. I can choose not to answer it.
By the way, do you know my mom because I’m pretty sure you described her to a T at the beginning of your article. The woman starts every conversation with, “I hate my life. This is wrong, that is wrong, blah, blah, blah…” Yuk!
Lisa – I hear ya! I got a daily dose of “man bashing” & negativity from my mom right of out of the womb and she is still miserable to this day! And I wonder where my fear of men comes from? Hmm… Up to us to conquer those demons now!
LisaQ and Kim – Honestly, I have tears of laughter rolling down my face and I am telling you right now, that is MY mother Cheekie is talking about 😉 The other day when we having a massive argument, I said “It would be so nice if just ONE time you could call or visit and have something positive to say. Don’t you just have ONE day when you have nothing or nobody to blame for something!” God I am a cow but it’s true!
Cheekie – Brilliant post that as always hit my funny bone too whilst teaching me a lesson.
Heck, I described my mom for crikey’s sake!
Negative, defeatist, constantly complaining and whinging on about something.
Love her dearly, but, I made the decision a few years ago that (unfortunately) she is not a good influence in my life, and I keep contact to as minimal as possible. Harsh, yes, but necessary.
And she too has always been negative about men, “THEY will ALWAYS f+ck around if given half a chance” THEY ALL lie” etc etc etc
So perhaps, our issues aren’t with men at all.
Maybe our issues are with the only role model we had for dealing with men (and life/stress). And theirs too btw, not to blame mommy for everything, it had to come from somewhere……
hhhhhmmmmmmmmm
oh and thanks NML. I know. I’m a hoot.
LOL
