Why I just feel all alone in here by myself this afternoon. Oh, well. It has been a cool dreary day today, we are expecting Matthew to come in anytime now. My oldest dh is so excited there is actually a storm named after him,LOL. I have done

HILL: I am way far away from being any kind of expert on matters of the mind or heart. But what you are doing is the right thing. I know you love your dh, but he cannot expect you to live in those conditions, especially knowing that you have gone out or your way to help the girl. The decision you and dh make right now will affect this girl for the rest of her life. She needs help, it may feel cruel to you to send her off somewhere to get the help, but you know what,in time, she will thank you for getting her the help she needs. She has her whole future ahead of her,and that is a long time to go with such hatred and anger. She may not see it now, she may not see it 5 years from now, But eventually she will see that you did what you had to do and you did it out of the goodness of your heart and for the love of your family.....

Good morning everyone. Well I am trying my best to get my mess from yesterday cleaned up. I am still putting away groceries. I am putting aload of Oh well, it will get done all in due time.....Everybody have a good day. We had alight fog this morning, expecting another really nice day today, with the low of 52* and high in low 70*s. We have rain moving in tomorrow and should be raining into Tuesday, but they say on the News that by mid week next week we are going to get our first shot of really cold air come through. I wonder just how cold!. Bye all have a good one>>>>

Well another week almost gone! I have alot that I need to get done today, since I was in no shape to do anything yesterday. Even though I was so upset and hurting so badly yesterday, I pulled myself together before dh and kids got in, and managed to pull myself through the weekly BINGO game. I was 2 numbers away from wining the $21,000 jackpot. I Have got to go wash up dishes, I cleaned out the fridge this morning, I plan on going to the store today. I am going to do some hardcore stocking.... There are chuck roasts on sale this week for $1.69 so plan on getting at least 10 of those, Hostess can hams $5.88 each,Hickory smoked bacon, 10lbs for $11.00. I never used to buy the hostess hams until recently, dice that ham up, take some eggs and beat them with salt and pepper, a pinch of fresh chives, add 2 slices of velveeta, add your diced ham, and microwave for about 4 to 5 minutes. Then make you a sandwich with this. It is so good, dh asks for it at least twice a week. With this can ham, I can get about 7 meals out of it. 7 meals for $5.88 NOT BAD!!! Well need to get the big rear in gear, and get going. I want to catch up on the house work this week, because as of next friday all my younguns will be out of school for a week, FALL BREAK!!! Our local weather guys,gave the winter outlook for our area, that was released by NOAA yesterday. They said for the Tennessee Valley for Dec 04-Feb05, that it will colder than usual, and it will be keeping the snowbird busy this year. He even went so far as to say, that they will have to start stocking the staff kitchen, because they will be needing it, for all their overnighters.......HHUMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!! Everybody have a good day, if you have time today go to www.noaa.gov and check it out for your area....

Thank God for people like you who would put themselves at risk, to get involved, where the welfare of a child is concerned.

((((((((HILL)))))))), Just remember that (I) as well as everyone else is here for you, you can use my shoulder anyday, since you always offer yours to me and others when we have problems..... I guess Joan is right, it is in the air this week, everyone having to stand their ground to family members. But HILL, you are doing the right thing. This can't go on, the kid needs serious help. I Pray for you that all will work out, for the best....

I just wanted to say thanks to everybody, who mommied me yesterday, when I was feeling so down and bad about my famiy situation. I did the crying, and making my self physically ill over it yesterday, and thought about it last night.So now it is time to go on. I did write to her last night to tell her that I apologized to her for some of the things that I said to her, because I should have never said them. And told her again that I do love her, because she is my sister, but I said it loud and clear, that if she cannot be a part of my life and be a sister and a friend, instead of always being on the attack. Then I didn't want anything else to do with her. I told her that when she decides she wants to be apart of my family, let me know...Until then I am through. But enough about all this. I just wanted to say THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY, AND YES, THE THINGS PEOPLE SAID DID HELP!!!!!! YOU ALL DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU......

Darlene: NO, I don't take offense to anything that you said, it actually helps me to see somethings. I have many, many times told my sister even after she has said something very hurtful, that I love her. But she can never repeat those words to me..... Everytime, that I feel some closure in my heart and soul and come to terms of losing my mother, she dredges it up, about how I have lost my mind since mom died. I still just tell her that I loved my mother and can't help it, and that I also love all my sisters and brothers. I realize now that she and I will never have a close relationship, we have tried for years to be close, but it never works out. But I have promised myself that my family has seen me cry for the last time over her. This has been going on for way too long, she doesn't seem to understand that not only does it affect me, but also my kids, when they see mom so upset. Tomorrow is a new day, I am going to start it new, and not give her another thought. Thanks everybody for the words of wisdom and caring....It is great to have people to turn too like all of you..

Since I made this post this afternoon, dear sis has emailed me twice, wanting to tell me that everyone in the forum thinks I am a lunatic. I am crazy, because I wish my sister would stop smoking, before it hurts her? I am crazy, because there is a potential child molester amongst their group, and there is something we can do as a group to stop this person? How does that make one crazy...She has gone and told them that I have lost my mind..... WEll she sent three other emails after that, I spammed every last dang one of them!!!!!I am not fooling with her anymore. I have had a throbbing headache all afternoon because of this, she is the reason, why I now have to take blood pressure medication, she keeps me so upset all the time, that it has made my bp go outrageous. When I do not get around her, or have anything to do with her,my bp levels out. So she is on her own, I just hope that when all her so called friends realize exactly what kind of person she is, she doesn't get too lonely......Because when you have no close friends or family to turn too it can get lonely, Thank god for my dh and kids they are what keeps me sane, or half way sane. And all the good people here who I can call friends....

what size was this here caterpillar, was fat and really hairy? That is what is called a wooly worm or wooly bear,the blacker the worm the worse the winter. Good idea They'd

Thanks you guys, I just feel so bad, because of some of the things I said to her. First she said to me, that just because I can reproduce, I think I am all high and mighty. Her response was "heck even cock roaches can reproduce".. I was so mad by then that I said to her" may be I can reproduce and maybe so can cock roaches, But guess what you can't." I shouldn't have said it, but I wanted to hurt her back just once, instead of just turning away, and letting her think that she is getting away with it. This has gone on all our lives. I also told her that she was a cold and uncaring SOB. Now that I have said what I said, now Ihave to deal with the guilt, I don't think there is any sanity to be had where my family is concerned. I just want to pack my bags and take my family as far away from these people as I can get..... Oh well, one of these days something is going to happen to wake her up. and I doubt that it will be a pleasant event....

My dh's aunt just went through something similar, they thought she had lymphoma, but come to find out it was scratch fever... Shes ok now, they had her on some powerful antibiotics for a couple of weeks...... Hopefully you will get good news soon!!!!!Still

I have a problem with my oldest sister, you have to take in mind that she is very opininated, but will not listen to anyone elses opinion. She thinks she is it on a stick, She is very overweight, and a heavy smoker. But she thinks she hung the moon. We have this family forum, where it is supposed to be all family, but she has just went and let anyone come into the site. Well everyone on the site is upset, because this one idiot with a major problem has gotten in and all this person talks about is molesting young girls, that is all that is on this person's mind. Well myu sister can't keep her mouth shut, she keeps antagonizing this idiot instead of shutting her mouth and letting the idiot go on. Me and a couple of other members are trying to get bellsouth to do something about this person, because what they are doing is a criminal act. Well Dear sis did not like the idea that I voiced my opinion. She thinks that I am crazy, because I have had such a hard time dealing with mom's death. She thinks that anything that I say, I say because I am crazy... Yeah, I probably have went through the grieving process longer than the rest of the family, and yeah it was a little harder on me. But because, the day the hospital called me to tell me to get there because my mother was dying, is also the day that I was supposed to celebrating, because it was the day, my mother brought me into this world. On my birthday, Instead of celebrating I was wiping my mothers brow, and holding her hand as she took her last breath, while everyone else just stood against the wall. So Yeah I guess I did take it harder, but does that make me crazy At least I am going through the grieving process. My sister and I will have these arguments, and not speak with each other for several months, with the result of me always being the one getting hurt. I can't do it anymore>>. I wrote her today, and told her that, I did not want to hear from her or about her anymore, I wanted nothing nor needed nothing from her. I just wanted her to stay away and leave me alone. If she can't be a part of my life without always hurting me, then I don't need her in my life... What set her off was that I always kid her about the way she types, when every other word is mispelled it is because she is smoking yet another cigarette. So I always kid her and tell to put the cigarette down. Well she told me I needed to mind my own business. I told her I was minding my own business. I lost my father to lung cancer 7 years ago, and I don't want to go through that with another family member, especially not my sisters. She also got mad because I voiced my opinion about this child molestation case. Being a mother of course, I want an idiot such as this off the streets. But my sister is so shallow, she thinks just because they live out in the woods something like this could never happen to her family (she has no kids of her own, she takes care of her step grandkids). I told it just me a motherly instinct to want to protect any child from a possible dangerous situation. I just don't understand someone such as she. How can you be so shallow, how can you not care rather or not you hurt someone elses feelings. Does it not bother her one bit, that she has lost her mother and her father one to lung cancer and one to obseity? I have sat here and cried for the past hour, I am going to do it now and get it over, I refuse to let my dh and kids see me upset again by her. She told me the reason everyone around me smokes is because it calms their nerves when they have to listen to my mouth. I have not been in a family gathering with my family since after mom's funeral May 17,2003. I don't call any of them, except my youngest sister. But when they need or want something they all come running to me.... I told not to bother anymore. I am no longer here for her convenience. This may make me sound cold and cruel, but I'm not, I'm just tired of hurting and crying, and repairing the damage,just to get knocked down again by her. SORRY FOR THE RANT, BUT IT HELPS COMING HERE WHERE I KNOW SOMEONE CARES...

Morning, everyone. Didn't make it to chat last night, had a sick baby. My 4 year old ds, laid down for a nap and when he got up he was sick to his stomach. Dealt with that all night, so haven't had any rest. But at least he if feeling better. He got up this morning with an appetite, he has eaten a sausage biscuit with gravy and a hash brown and an egg. I just finished a from time to time..... It is a beautiful day here, 52* for the low with highs in the 70*s again today. Everyone have a wonderful day.

Yeah, Athens Tenn. Love it out there. I live about 20 to 25 minutes from there. Used to live there 5 years ago, trying to talk dh into moving back in that area.

Woke up this morning to 52*degrees, the highs in the low 70*s today. Going to be a beautiful day today, and supposed to be all week, which is good,dh has footers lined up to do this week out the boohiny. and WHERE THERES FOOTERS,THERES GOOD MONEY!!!!Which means a really good paycheck come Friday. Dh gets paid $1.00 per foot. Which the smallest footer he has ever done was 328 feet. If he gets the foot dug and concrete poored all in the same day, he will be paid $328 for that day, otherwise if the footer doesn't get poored that same day, they pay him by the hour.Which is $15 per hour, unless he has to drive the bobcat or backhoe, then it is $25 per hour. What all this rambling means is a really good, good paycheck this week. He will easily clear $1200.00. Which will be good, they are having to put the work truck in the shop next week for some work, so we want have to worry about next week, if they can't work, otherwise,they will be toting tools in my car.... Well have a load of

Karen, you did good!!!!!!!

LOL, your cracking me up!!!!!!!

Getting ready to begin a new week. I have actually not done a flitting thing all day. I cooked breakfast and washed up the dishes and that's it. I just don't want to bother with it today. Trying to remain calm and not let anything get my blood pressure up today, have to go to the doctor tomorrow,and of course I want a good report... Hope everyone has a good day.
