Good for you! Sell that stuff off....after all, you've been storing it for him for years free of charge. Time to get something out of it.
As for the girlfriend, sounds to me like someone else has been calling her stupid along the way. It makes me think her family isn't too keen on her actions and remarks. At that age, plenty of them are very smart mouthed and know it all. You are doing the wise thing...sit back quietly and watch. Your son will eventually get tired of the young lady.
Congratulations on the job! I'm sure you will do just fine. It takes a while to get unemployment checks. You'd think the system in this day and age would be quicker about such things.
I do hope you are taking care of yourself.

Yes, Indeed... I applied for the unemployment a month ago, on-line, as required. That same web site told me how much my payment would be, how much money that could be sent total, BEFORE I logged off. Still no check, although I was told there was a person who would be checking on my departure from the job. I guess it might take a phone call.... and sure, there's lots of people unemployed, but they did file the same day I did. I filed, just in case.... not because I thought I'd be unemployed this long.... I'm glad I did, I probably will get the money just in time for Christmas.
This job is different.... I have my own cubicle, my own phone, my own computer... it's also close to 50 miles one way... but it's a job. My ankles will be protected from the all day wear and tear of standing on my feet for a shift..... I'll just have callouses on my butt.... LOL.
Ahh, the girlfriend does have her insecurities, autophobia and two parents who have been divorced for some time. She opted to live with her Father, who is rarely home, and often too busy with work or often with friends partying. He didn't even take a few hours off for any awards she may have been given or parents night or sport she may have played. Rather lonely, unsupervised girl, and as I type this, and remember the conversation we had.... Oh my...... she was finally voicing her feelings about her own life... wow!
Yeah, just being able to talk about it, I am able to see where it came from. After all, I didn't say anything to hurt her, but was trying to get my point across, the way I felt, but she continued to respond as though I was taking personal shots.
Thank you Snodderly.... at least I see where the whole thing came from.... but it doesn't change what's going on.
As for taking care of myself..... err, well, as best as I can without having insurance or the money needed for the meds to put the RA in remission.... but I have been taking things slow, getting lots of rest, and learning to enjoy the sun being on my face again. It's the best I can do with what I have for now. My ankle has cleared up, caught the flu, still have a bit of gunk in my lungs, but I think everybody is taking 2 or 3 weeks to get the tail ends out. All in all, not too bad, I have survived. :-)
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you.........
Okay, D is coming in for a visit for Christmas....
Guess Dick and Jane have made plans for a wonderfully romantic Christmas in Cabo San Lucas.... NO! The didn't include D in their Christmas plans..... They aren't even worried about what she does for Christmas.... The only thing Dick stipulated was that IF she comes here for Christmas.... I must pay for her to come out.
Hmmmm..... I have a lot to say about this, however, I have to calm down first.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you.........
One blessing at a time! Your d is coming home for Christmas! Will she stay w/you? Okay, so you pay for her to come out...does this mean the donkey's @ss pays for her return flight?

Thank you, and yes, I'm excited about her coming out for Christmas....
I don't know Snodderly, I'll probably have to pay for her return also.... Dick will make me pay one way or another.... that's just the nature of the beast.
Heard through the grapevine that Dick is planning to be out here next week..... next week is S's 18th birthday. He's supposed to be dropping a car off for S... a 1991 Accura. I haven't heard much from the kids about this.... but my eyes are wide open.
The other thing I heard from the Attorney's office, is Dick is fighting visitation.... however, from the sounds of it, D hasn't said anything about it. I'll call the office in the morning to find out what they have heard.
It would be just like Dick to make his plans to Cabo for Christmas and make D stay at the house by herself..... we will see how things open up.

Well, for the past two weeks, I would say if it could turn to manuer, it would. I've had 4 flat tires, my water well went south again, I just love not being able to flush!! Then last week 2 of my dogs came up poisoned and one dog slammed on the side of the head, so bad he nearly lost his eye and blood dripped from his nose for a week. For every step forward I made, I was pushed back three.
Then came today..... JJ's nose stopped bleeding and the two dogs who were poisoned decided to drink and eat on their own today, then followed me out to the well to make another repair to the old well. But, that wasn't the best part! My son and I went out for lunch, he opened up a bank account, with the money Dick sent him for first and last rent, and he came and accompanied me to the well, along with the dogs and cats to fix the well.... today is his 18th!
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you.........
A very Happy Birthday to your son! He's now out from under his father's thumb!
You know, I just find it very odd that your pets were poisoned, the well and the tires. Something does smell right with all of this.
I'm sending you positive vibes, but please be careful. I do not like the events you've written about.
