  that is what is finger printed in the cement on the garage floor...."casa of chaos 96".

  in the shop floor is finger printed "mark 1949", on the edge of the pool "1955".

  i'm not sure about haunted, but this house has past issues yet to be resolved.

  In the shop floor is finger printed "Mark 1949", on the edge of the pool "1955". I'm not sure about haunted, but this house has past issues yet to be resolved. It is located in a wonderful neighborhood in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Big lots...3/4 acre....just north of old town, and downtown. Wide quiet street, lots of big trees, I could have chickens and horses here right in the middle of town.

  Back to the house....unbelieveably neglected. At least for the past 30-40 years. An artist lived here once, my guess in the 60's and 70's. Many of the doors are carved and painted. There is an evolution carving on the drawers in the office. The kitchen is custom made for a tall person (I'm short), but very custom, hand done and interesting. Old commercial wolf stove. Handmade cabinets and drawers.

  I am renting but I have an option to buy...wish I had the money to fix this place...but to go into all the things that need to be done, no one would finish reading....

  I have connected to this house, it needs some serious attention....have any of you ever been in love with a neglected house?

  eclipse: I don't understand why GOD would be there for some people, and not there for other honest hearted, sincere lovers of him.

  I don't understand either...but I still pray. Maybe I am stupid, (it's a possibility). I am not sure what I believe anymore, but I can't give up praying, and believing my prayers are heard.

  If you could make the rules for the society...

  last night i was thinking about how the whole ex-dub community is so diverse.

  there are the pepper spraying, door slamming, picketing, in your face types, and then there are the "i'm over it and moving on" types.

  and of course there are a lot in between.. sometimes i wonder what could/should be done and if it's even possible.

  Or is it even possible? Are we all so burned that we can never again listen to anyone, even someone who has the experience to organize something like this? How would we know who they are?

  I know I'm burned out....diversity is what I see at sites like this, not organization.

  Grass roots politics...we each have our own issues, our own people. We come here to remember why, and get encouragement. Sounds like you might need some encouragement.

  The lack of understanding of behaviour from Mental illness, labelling kids rebellious and sad has terrible consequences for their developing self-esteem. They are shunned by their peers when they need help and support the most. Leaving them weak and prey to any one else that will and can exploit them.

  This has been my experience, you put it so well. This is what started my fade....my grandkids ended it. I couldn't let them be exposed to the same damaging mantra of the superficial shallow JW Stepford Kids....thing...!!!

  I have been raising my two granddaughters, now 2 and 4. Their mother is bi-polar, now 25. She is now living with me, and just started on meds a month ago. I have no reason to have hope, but after the road I have been down, I can't afford not to.
