I suspected such back in Jan, forget why.... So I got a new computer and gave my old one to DD16. Her's was a clunker and over 5 years old anyway. I really think H is concerned that the "someone" who fed OW info and "caused a lot of probs" might have hacked in. It was possible that someone was on our network but I figured out how to secure that up...i think...don't really care anymore.


What kind of problems? Like calling her a flea-bitten, home-wrecking, heartless ho? How awful! grin

Alas, we repeat what we learn growing up, from how to make chili to which way to hang the toilet paper to how treat our friends and family. It takes a strong, STRONG person to go against their upbringing. MLC's are NOT strong.

He tripped over it playing baseball and broke his arm in 2 places. The cast came off today and he is in a brace now. Yippee! Getting him to shower in a garbage bag was a fight! Now He can Swim!!! (It is about all there is to do here in the desert summers!)


I hate to say this WhatNow because I'm not a doctor - and I may be COMPLETELY wrong, I often am - but your husband leaving in December and your son's foot mysteriously stop working a few weeks later sounds almost psychosomatic, like your guy is physically manifesting his stress over WH behavior in this way. The timing + no physical reason for it = well, lots of questions.

[My sweet, agreeable, easy-going DS 7 suddenly started talking back and using foul language about three weeks after WH moved to basement. I was shocked. I even got a phone call from his teacher, wondering what in the world had happened to our sterling little 1st Grader. DS 7 and I talked and he told me he was sad because "Daddy moved to the basement, doesn't wear his 'marry' ring or kiss you anymore, and I'm afraid you're gonna get a divorce!" Poor guy! I nearly started bawling myself. I reassured him as best I could that Daddy and I were just taking a "time out" from each other for awhile and we'd fix it as best we could. He went back to being his sweet little self after that.]

That's why that popped into my mind - and again I may be WAY off base, but it's a thought.

I'm glad some of your son's mobility has returned. Yeah! But broken limbs, casts, and garbage bags? Oh my! Too much excitement, lol!

Here's wishing him a speedy recovery!
