I saw a beautiful thing yesterday --- a gift from God
by jgnat inyesterday i saw a couple i hadn't seen for many years sitting together on the bus.
i'd always wondered if they had managed to stay together.
they looked the same, save a few more dry wrinkles, as they did twenty years ago.

i personally don't have much except having to go through very narrow spaces where i can barely fit in that freaks me out and i also fear very hot weather like over 38 degrees celsius as if it will give me a heat stroke.

I absolutely cannot stand spiders either-any shape or size.
Once when I was driving, one came dangling down it's web in front of my face from the roof of the car-I almost had an accident because I freaked out so bad----YUCK!

I think it's very generous of you and your husband to consider helping this couple out like that...BUT....I cannot imagine giving up all legal and moral rights and responsibilities to this child, yet still have to live next door and see that little one on a regular basis. Especially if it turned out being the little boy that your husband never had.
It would wrench my heart out to be in that situation. Maybe if they lived far away, it might be a different story, but I can't imagine that it would be an easy thing to do in the same neighbourhood. It's easy to be practical and think that you could handle it now, but you never know what havoc your emotions might wreak afterwards.
I don't think I would be able to handle something like that...it would only cause alot of unforeseen problems down the road.

My Mini Van was stolen last night!! (long)
by ButtLight inmy son takes my van to school everyday.
so yesterday, after school, he decides to leave the van there, ride with his buddy to work, and pick it up later!
he comes home about 8:00 pm wild!

Just because your son has gotten himself into trouble in the past, I cannot possibly see how that can justify the school faculty treating him, or you like this.
I would pursue it-no questions asked. How DARE they think they can get away with that??????????????
It blows my mind.

What more can they possibly take from her?
by ButtLight insome of you may remember my mom was diagnosed with a rare disease that shrinks the brain.
(corticobasildegeneration) how i remember that is beyond me!
anyway, since she was diagnosed, they started out by taking her licence away about 3 years ago.

I don't think there is anything harsh or terrible about not wanting someone you love dearly to suffer and linger on for months and months. Once they no longer know who you are anymore and if they are in alot of pain, it would only be merciful for the pain to end for them as soon as possible.
There is no quality of life left for them at that point and it is so hard for those who are left to take care of them to watch them struggle. I recall feeling relief when my husbands parents finally passed away-I felt really guilty for feeling that way, but I was just so glad that they were in a better place.

I say hang in there and stick to your guns-if a drink every day won't physically harm her or mix badly with her medication, and the home she is in will allow you to "sneak" it into her, then just keep doing what you are doing.
It's tough to see a parent, or anyone you love, who is lingering in sickness. My dad passed away at the age of 56, but died suddenly and quickly of a heart attack. It was hard not to be able to have the chance say goodbye to him, but I have since then seen both of my husbands parents pass away from cancer. It is so heartbreaking to see a disease slowly disable someone who was once such a vibrant human being. Words can't even describe the pain. In retrospect, I would rather have them go quickly like my dad did-I will always remember him as he was the last time I saw him-full of life.
You have alot of very good friends on this board to lean on when times are tough...keep up the good work you are doing for your Mom.

I don't like my name-and only because 95% of the people I meet for the first time don't pronouce it properly. After so many years, I can't be bothered correcting them anymore.
It's Petra(pronounced Pee-Tra).....but everyone says Pet(as in Pet Shop)-Ra........the good thing, though, is that my parents never "blessed" me with a middle name!!

i'm using the nicotine gum again, and it seems to be doing a good job.
i got close to bumming one last night, but i grabbed a gum instead.

I agree Finally Free-I think it's like any addiction(alcoholism, etc.)-it's not something you ever get over, it's a battle you will always fight.
I remember my dad used to be a heavy smoker, but when he joined the JW's he quit cold turkey. As a teenager though, I recall we would be walking by somebody who would be smoking a cigarette, and my dad would just take a big whiff.
I questioned him, and he said that he just loved the smell of it, even though he would no longer have one. He said the craving never went away 100%....
