- The author of Elder Rage or Take My Father Please, made the suggestion of recording the conversations of an abusive parent. This gives you proof to show to a doctor or someone else who can help. Otherwise, it's your word against the parent. And...
- It was tragic that young olympic skier Sarah Burke died in a sking accident. But to add to the tragedy, her family has been left with massive amounts of medical bills. The accident happened in America. If it had happened in Canada, the family...
- My husband told me years ago that my father was manipulative. I didn't believe him. Now, I've got a problem and need some advice if possible. I've got nowhere else to go, so I'm posting it here. My father has been plain evil since I lost my...
- Yesterday I went to the musuem with my family. It was a treat for my grandson who ran straight As this semester. He's 7 and my grand-daughter is 2, so I thought it best to include the parents as I'm not very educated about children and didn't want...
- When I was 14 a teacher told me that I would never be sucessful because I was an introvert. She actually took points off my grade because of it. Years later a boss told me the same thing. "You're an introvert. You'll never reach the top." And I...
- Some of us have had computer problems coming to this sight such as viruses. For me it's been a very slow computer. I could eat a sandwich just waiting for a page to load sometimes. Frankly, I hadn't really cared to do anything about it because...
- I wish my husband was here. I remember watching Get Smart, The Man From Uncle, and James Bond when I was younger. All that technology was so much fun to watch. We all knew things such as pen phones and shoe phones didn't exist which made it so...
- It happened again--a contractor trying to take financial advantage of me. The first time was when I had shutters installed and needed to have the previous window treatment holes filled. I was told this would take half a day and require lots of...
- I remembered it well: A movie watched on television, my husband sitting there laughing and eating a bowl of popcorn. Then I checked the date of the film. It was released in 2011 and my husband passed in 2010. So, it's a false memory. Got me...
- I found myself thinking that in about 5 hours I will no longer be able to say that my husband passed away last year. He passed in March of 2010. So now it will be two years. Such a simple thing, but two years sounds so long ago. Yet to me it...
- I just read of a woman arrested for not caring for her father. They found him a year ago living alone. He's 88 and they said he needed medication and the house was a mess. The care-giver, the daughter could not be found. A year later they found...
- This is the second Christmas without my husband. The first was horrible. Christmas was so important to him. He loved everything about--the lights, the gifts, the gathering of family. He enjoyed decorating the tree. Me, not so much. I'm the...
- Well I did it: Climbed up there, putty in hand, and filled those holes in my wall. Does it look good? No. Is it good enough? Yes. I'm very pleased with it. Only a person who really stood there and looked at the wall would notice the lumpy...
- It seems there's always someone wanting to take advantage of a widow. So today I had my plantation shutters installed. They are beautiful except for the six very visible holes left from the draperie removal. Sadly, I had those holes put in to...
- I read about an old lady who fell in her backyard the other day. She died of exposure because no one knew to check on her. Over 40 years ago I made the decision not to have kids. Didn't want to marry either, so I knew a day would come when being...
