25yrs, I don't have a current thread, I just kind of float around, getting advice from reading other people's threads, and commenting here and there. I get involved sometimes in a thread, like rysmom, because I can feel the fear in her, and I wish I could help.
You now have me craving Chinese Food.
My S will be staying at home and driving across town to school-YEA! And yes, the costs of it are nuts, but he got a scholarship to pay half, thank God.
And he will be an adult when he is thirty or so. joking!
I think y'all should move to Texas, so you could be a southerner like me. And say y'all. How're y'all doing, and stuff.
Where is YOUR thread? I look every so often for one, but it is hiding, or you are floating around, too, giving your great advice.
Hey rysmom, sorry for the hijack, me and 25yrs go back a while here. vc
MIL is doing better. h text me today and said he told son to help me prepare for hurricane. he said my mother should come and stay with us cuz he is worried about big trees by her house. he also said to measure ac filter and tell him size and he would get it for me. these a re very good signs but im continuing toGAL and c pray. i went and played tennis last night and had a great match. it cost 40 its expensive but it was a lot of fun. it was me and a guy, against a lady and other guy. it was evenly matched and had a great time.
Glad your MIL is doing better. I hope Irene does no damage to your family. We live a few hours from the Gulf Coast, so when a really big one comes through, like Ivan, we get lots of high winds, trees down and flooding.
I think it's good that your H does thoughtful things for you and your S, but I don't know how much you can read into it anything positive for your M. Prayer and GAL do lots to help, but when will your H ever get to see any changes in you?
I think it's great you get out and socialize, that goes a long way towards a PMA. But, isn't there a public park to play tennis in for free? Sorry, I am such a cheapskate, that paying 40 bucks for a few games of tennis just slays me. Plus, we have places all over the place here to do all sorts of things free, so I'd know where to go if I didn't stink at tennis, which I do, so I envy you. But, I am good at basketball
I really hope you will consider having some sort of interaction with your H, besides texting, otherwise how can he see any changes in you? vc
my s25 lives in NYC and a month ago his gf of a year broke his heart and broke up. Said her career was the priority and now's not the time for a serious r, etc...(they are both in the film industry).
So Hurricane Irene was coming and son's ex gf called to ask s25 if they could hang together at son's apartment. Son said yes.
Neither son nor I read anything into that other than ex gf is afraid of hurricane and son is strong and has a safe apartment. She wanted to feel safe. Maybe that is a good thing for her to feel...but so what?
I mean, son is gallant and offered her his place and comfort. NO expectations and no drama.
Rys, Your mil was/is very sick and her son--your ex, wants her to hang at the place he and you own...with your son too, during a hurricane.
HE isn't coming over. Just MIL is...correct?
Am I missing something other than the AC filter?? I mean, really, what is going on that you think this is "a good sign"...
a good sign of what?
Help me get this.

No MIL did not come to stay. He asked me to take care of his dog because mil is in hospital. in the past ow would watch his dog when mil went in hospital. maybe she isnt living there anymore. i called h today because our rental property got a lot of damage from hurricane water up to ceiling in basement, and tenent called me to tell me. at first h sounded arrogant and angry but at end of call when i was saying good bye he sounded very sad because i rarely call him and i think he misses hearing from me.when i talked to laure d busting coach she recommeded that i stay in touch with h cuz he was always happy when i called him. he said he would by me a car too. and asked if our house was ok 3 times.
ow is still living with h. i was praying that she would be gone. i havent gone by there in a long time and i went by today 1 block away though, and her car is there. i shouldnt have even looked, now im sad. i dont know why he would ask me to watch his dog if she was still there.
h did buy a used bentley, 80,000 its in his driveway. i think i have to go to lawyer next wk. h told me today he has no $ for health ins or mortgage, says hes waiting for a check for work he did from state.
i am very depressed. my sister asked me to bring 6800 to the beach to cash acheck for her and someone stole it or my nephew kiicked it out of car by mistake.my nephew went back to hotel room when we were at beach with his 2 girlfriend from home, they are 15 so i dont know if they took it. the detectve there went and questioned them but they said they didnt go in room but i dont believe it. i never carry money aroung like that i knew it was a bad idea, i should have listened to my intuition.. this on top of everything else is just to much. idont feel like getting up today. i called police there, and put a report in.
I am sorry to hear of your money being stolen, especially such a large amount. What kind of check did your sister want you to cash? Did you ever see it? How on earth could nephew kick it out of the car? Was it loose, in a walmart bag, in a bank envelope? I would check out the whole story of your sister needing YOU to cash a check. Does she not have an account? Couldn't she have gone to a check cashing place if she didn't have an account? It is entirely possible the kids took it, but I would start with the one who asked you to bring money in the first place. Was she hurting for money? If she suddenly pays bills she couldn't pay before, I would tell the police. I saw on one of the judge shows one time, where a person had a check from one of those "You have won a prize" places, and got a friend to cash it, and put the check in their account. The check was bad, and the friend was out thousands of dollars. The "friend" who asked her to cash it said she felt no responsibility for making it good. Some people don't have that sense of personal responsibility, but the judge had a word or two with the defendant about that. Anyway, sometimes those we least expect to mess up our lives, will. vc
joking!
