  • An Open Letter

    Friday, July 11, 2008

    Things haven't gone very well for the past month or so.  My ex is lingering with renal cancer and my youngest son is still in Texas with him and his step-mother.
    I've had my ups and downs dealing with this on top of everything else and right now, I'm just a bit sad.  You don't live with another person for 22 years and flip off the feelings like a light switch. 
    Today...

  • I sent this to a friend Sunday the 14th

    Wednesday, April 16, 2008

         Yesterday I initiated a simple conversation with him.  I always hope that we can have a logical, common sense conversation without long dissertations and diversions.
    As always, he thinks I hate him and I finally had enough and told him most plainly how I really feel.  I told him he's very lucky I don't hate him and that my deep pity for him is always...

  • Crap!!

    Sunday, December 28, 2008

    Well, I had a great week minus the goose until I returned to this stupid house this afternoon.  Now, my stress level is over the top and my resentment is building.  I wasn’t cut out to live with an alcoholic.  That’s an addiction I can well live without and never miss it.  I wish the goose had stayed in Charleston, I know I would have been better off.
    I’ve alr...

    t's always great to be with friends, to understand their life , to add life and real words to there life, to experience peace, to add to others joy, to motivate each other.

Blessings to ...

  • Dammit!!

    Tuesday, December 16, 2008

    Oh Boy!!
    I just got off the phone with the loan officer and the goose has applied for a loan in both our names for his house in his trust.  Does he really think I’m a fool?
    Anyway, I told the loan officer that the house is in his trust and I don’t get squat and I’m NOT signing any paperwork regarding this house nor am I going to be responsible for his bills.  She was a b...

  • A tribute to yvonne111

    Monday, July 28, 2008 | A Tragic story

    I am shattered at the news of a friend such as yvonne passing. The pain those who remain in her family will be beyond words. The pain yvonne went through and could deal with it no more can not be fully spoken with words.
    Deep grief in depression is the hardest to state, to speak of, to make clear to others even though an arm length away. Thank you vikingprincess for bringing to my attention the sa...

  • More Betrayal

    Tuesday, December 16, 2008

    I don’t even know where to start with this.  The goose has applied for a new loan on his house that’s in his Trust and for some odd reason or another has included my Social Security check as income.  When the loan officer asked him if he had other income, he volunteered mine!!  What is with this anyway?  This makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever.  I full...

  • My father

    Friday, October 3, 2008 | A Venting story

    My father passed away due to suffering from Lung Cancer from asbestos on august 8th, (888) after battling for three years.  It gets me mad that he has had to die so young (62) and that he hasn't been able to enjoy his forthcoming retirement together with my mother.  They were both looking forward to it so much and after having just enough to put food on the table that were planning ...
