    Hi all. Have not been on. Dealing with a problem here at home. My 20 year old grandson is living with me. Too long to talk about, but I am just a wreck ovr it all. He is fine now, but you just wait for the bomb to hit again. At 77 I don'tneed this, but here I am again trying to save the world. I just pray something I do, whether Nannie love, good food, just talking and sharing, or telling him over and over.....together, we will get through this...brilliant college kid, with a great job. Just go into some bad stuff, and his parent's have done all they can....so I am trying my way. I pray it works. Hugs to all of you.......broke another vertebrae...had another kyphoplasty scheduled, but cancelled for my grandson.....he is more important. He has his whole life ahead of him....I have minimal at the least. One day it will get done....

    I hope you aren't in too much pain from your broken vertebra, Ducky.  Nannie love is powerful.  I hope he is through the worst of it.  (((((Ducky)))))

    Sometimes, grandkids feel that grandparents do things more from love than their parents. (Not neccessarily correct) Parents have to discipline and can appear rigid, but Nannies have a history of love and hugs.  Hopefully your grandson will open his mind and be receptive to you guidance and advice.

    Good luck at the onc!

    I had a quick interview this morning.  I was so nervous, but he didn't really ask me much.  He liked that I am available any hours any days and that I'm already certified.  Soooo - fingers crossed.  They are open 'til 10 M-F - so that isn't the best.  They are open only 'til 6 on weekends - so that's not bad, I suppose.   I will likely have to start part time as well - so less money for the year - but he said there is a good chance I could go full time in 6 mos.  I will take what I can get.  He seems nice. It's always nice to work for someone nice.  He said he has a few other people to interview and he will call Friday either way.

    I'm still a nervous wreck.

    Hi Deb!

    Okay back to house details.  Can't believe that a week from tonight we hope to sleep there for the first time - based on it's current condition, it seems impossible :)

    Finally went to Macy's One Day Sale today.....i didn't tell anyone because i needed a lot of time to study everything all by myself.......Sealed

    Came home around 7:30.... ate...watched Voice......

    Time to complain...We are getting a 10% raise on our Coop Maintenance fee...because of the future new boiler.........Yesterday I got a letter from optimum that my promotional package price will expire and i have to pay the regular amount as of Jan 1..........

    Well maybe I should turn off the electricity live with candles......cancel cable etc....

    I really don't know how i'm gonna do this......HAWAII please call me..it's really my time now......

    The End

    Tomorrow MH....I'm feeling very confused i almost couldn't find the exit at Macy's and that's the store I go for years......

    I don't know what it's related to...is it neurological...age related...early Alzheimer......

    I'm getting very uneasy about this and my mind is going all over the place almost ready to ask for a brain scan.....

    Friday I see my MO...maybe I should mention it to her.........

    Sorry...I just don't feel like myself...heart skipping again...anxiety is right there....

    All the tests don't show any issues with heart or tyhroid...

    What am I suppose to do?  I'm afraid to go to bed.....some really weird things are happening and i don't know how to describe it...

    I'm not depressed or anything

    Hugs♥

    This condition didn't start today it's been with me for few weeks.......Frown

    OOH still toothless.....Frown

    Sheila - anxiety can cause all kinds of things, including a bit of disorientation. You aren't old or showing any signs of alzheimers - you are quick as a fox.  I have a class tomorrow that I really don't have time for but will try to catch you again this week.  Even though I don't have time, I excited to take a real glass blowing class :)

    (( ducky ))

    Chris, keeping good thoughts for you on the job front. Fingers crossed!

    Aw, Sheila, my dear, dear friend........ sending BIG hugs.

    Diane, I was thinking of you just the other day while I was doing some last minute Christmas decorating. I have many lovely things that were my Mother's (I miss her so....) - putting them out around the house lovingly thinking of her. I thought of you so badly wanting to be in your new home. I hope there aren't any delays.

    Well, I have had maybe the worse thing so far in terms of "family" stuff happening during this Christmas season. My Dad & step-Mom had a family Christmas dinner this past Saturday & had the "kids" there: my brother, step-sister & step-brother, but NOT me! I was not invited! Cool, huh?!? Apparently they notified (?) by e-mail LAST Christmas when the date was for this year & the future years, but I did not get that little special message!! I can't stand my step-Mom; maybe she can "feel" my hate vibes...... I was told last Father's Day by my brother that my Dad said he talked to me about a family get-together for that-well, he never talked to me! Either he's losing it, or I am!!! I have not been to many family get-togethers they have had ~ pretty tough when you have a few days notice & must give your answer on the phone, at that moment. And, when I have already made plans. Last Christmas DH had a huge over-time come down & we couldn't turn it down. That pissed off the step-mom - TOO BAD!! Am thinking this was intentional by her. She is a A-1 liar. Has lied to my face - has lied to my Dad's face. The list is too long........

    And the brother says when I called him today & asked him did he realize I had not been invited, "Well, what do you want me say?? Dad tells me one thing & you tell me something else & I'm in the middle! What do you want me to do?"

    I told him, "Nothing, dear brother. Not a thing." And I hung up. Fifteen minutes later he called back but I didn't answer.

    I should not post this. I am hurt, pissed, and hurt some more. Aren't families just lover-ly?!?

    Sorry for the rant.

    Diane..if you can try to catch me this week...just rememberWed and Friday i have DR's.....

    you can call me as late as you waant...

    Val...Sometimes people feel bad for me that i'm the only child....My family was kinda of disfunctional....I absolutely don't have any regrets for being the only child

    And the father of my children side is extremely disfunctional...It's now that everybody got older...they appreciate each other...

    Before every holiday ended up with some kind of fight........

    Sometimes it hurts but you better be alone than dealing with crazy people.........

    RANTS are good....Chocolate also is good......Tongue Out

    Good night my friends.....I have to find my head....Can't take this confusion any more.....even crossing the street is scary.....because mentally I'm not fully there...........

    What if something is growing in my brain......I'm scaring myself to death.....

    THANK YOU for being there for me....

    ((((((Val)))))) I'm an only child like Sheila and family problems make me glad I don't have more family to deal with.  (Though when the day comes when I have to help my parents with their daily needs it will be really tough to deal with alone- but then again, siblings often don't help.)

    ((((((Sheila)))))) - I think it's stress/anxiety.  I'm glad you have MH today so your Dr can put your mind at ease.  When I am really stressed, I sometimes feel like I can't think at all - like my mind is blank.  It's easy to get disoriented when you can't think because your mind is clogged with stress and anxiety. 

    ((((((Sandy))))))  

    DD's last final is today!  Calculus.  Ick.  And her professor is one of those teachers that likes to design tests with problems that the kids have never seen before.  I think they should be tested on what they were actually taught and actually had a chance to learn.  Duh.  I hate teachers that do that.  I understand they want you to be able to apply what you've learned and get to the next level, but a lot people don't understand math well enough to do that.  It should be enough to be able to demonstate that you can apply the math that you've learned to the problems that particular math is used for.  The bonus questions should test whether you can apply what you've learned further.  I hope her professor next semester is better.

    ((((((TOL))))))
