Dear (((Liz)))! So glad to hear that you are treating yourself to a mani/pedi, and I wish I was sitting next to you getting a mani/pedi too. I checked the live trap today and the only thing in it is a full can of rotting tuna. The more I reflect on Jodi Arias’ behavior and words, the more I am conflicted about whether I want her to get the death penalty. I believe what she did is horrific, but I also fully believe that she is suffering with Borderline Personality Disorder, and maybe a Disassociation Disorder. Had she gotten some serious mental health help, this tragedy may have been avoided. As you know my oldest granddaughter has borderline personality disorder, and one of the key features is a huge sense of abandonment and rejection, as well as huge **** swings, and blaming others for what happens to them. I believe in the death penalty but not for individuals who are clearly mentally ill. Thus I think she should get natural life in prison so that she doesn’t execute anyone else. Prisons aren’t known for attracting the best psychologists/psychiatrists, so I can’t see her getting the intense mental health care she *****. On another note, I am taking my three granddaughters to the fair that has come to town today, and the two little ones are having a sleepover tonight. My evicted renter has started to pack his clothing I saw yesterday when I went into his bedroom. He called me last night to say he had found somewhere else to live, but wanted to know if he could move on Tuesday. I said no and that it had to be Saturday which is today, after he finishes work. He hasn’t paid any rent for May, so I’m doubtful whether he will pay me before he leaves tonight. Carole
Dear (((Bettie)))! When that position is posted for assistant manager, you should apply for it. Your train wreck situation in your workplace is not payback for being off. Go in and do what you can do in 8 hours, and then leave work and don’t think about it. That’s what one of my bosses once told me when the work was overwhelming. Good advice for me for sure. Another boss told me to pick my battles, which was also good advice for me. None of us can stand up for every injustice in the world is what he meant. I was out weeding for about an hour today after finishing cleaning the renters’ house. I’m all stuffed up now, and have had allergies for the past few months, which is unusual for me. I figure that if I weed flower beds every day for an hour, I may be able to stay on top of that this summer. You’re fortunate that you live in an apartment/condo and that the yardwork is done by someone else. Hope to chat with you soon. Carole
(((Lizzy)))- good to hear that you’re feeling better. Some days are going to be very hard on your journey of grief. Also good to hear that your grandson’s team won! He must have been excited!! You’ll know when the time is right to cross the border. I hope you and your Mom have a special time together and with other family members. It’s good to have things to keep you occupied while your heart and soul mend. I started a zigsaw puzzle last night, which is usually a winter activity for me. Gambling thoughts are far, far away, so that’s good. I know that I don’t want to live the old life of compulsive gambling again. Danny set up a live trap in the shed to capture the critter (probably weasel) that has been living in the shed. Two days later we haven’t caught anything. Watch as soon as Danny leaves today, the critter will be in the trap and I’ll have to drive it somewhere, and release it. The kicked out renter jumped out of his truck last night, and came over with a big bouquet of flowers and a card, begging to stay. I said I wasn’t doing this with him anymore. He asked till the long weekend in May to stay till, and I gave him till Saturday 7:00 pm to move. I refused the flowers and the card and told him to give them to the girl he had in his bed. He said he didn’t even know her name, and I reminded him that her name was Nicole. He is not going to get any extensions to stay from me. I’m sick of him and his boundary issues. It’s too bad his wife doesn’t know he’s sleeping around with strippers. I would want to know if my husband was doing the same, so I could divorce his a**. I found a empty box of condoms in the bathroom garbage can. Two and two always make four, unless it’s Jodi Arias doing the ********! LOL! It has gotten really crazy with her since the verdict came in. I think she thought she was going to walk out of the courthouse to freedom that day. I believe that she is a control freak and knows the jury will return with a death sentence, so she is making a preemptive strike by saying she wants the death penalty. That way she is back in control of her life. I really believe she has a borderline personality, but that doesn’t make her insane under the law. Carole
Sorry to hear about your headache Liz! Is something bothering you?? I’ve been doing well since I got home, and have been working hard cleaning at the renters and laundering bedding. Danny is actually making a chicken stirfry and rice tonight. He would never **** before, and seems to be nearly an expert at it now. I found 3 puzzles today that I’ve never done so my kitchen table will now turn into a puzzle table. I’m not putting a garden in this year as I have enough flower beds to weed. Come help me weed!! Carole
Way to go Cat on having over six months of gamble free time. I was thinking of you going to visit your grandsons soon. I’m sure that will be so wonderful for you and your husband. You need a break as you have been working so hard. I’m sure your grandsons are very excited about you visiting. Danny leaves tomorrow for a few weeks for work. I’ve got lots to keep me busy like yardwork and weeding, plus cleaning two places. Not to mention my granddaughters!!! Carole
Dear (((Bettie)))! What do you mean that Chicago would have paled in comparison to my trip to Arizona?? I had an awesome time with you at the convention last year. Navy Pier was awesome, especially the stained glass exhibition. My dogs were very happy to see me, and I got kisses from each one of them. It’s nice to go away but nice to come home and sleep in my own bed. Glad that you and Debbie were able to visit and have a great time. Carole
Dear (((Liz)))! Louisiana sounds awesome!! We’ll have to find out where Monroe is, as that is where the duck boys live. The snow has disappeared in my yard so spring is here. That story of those 3 women and a 6 year old child being found in that house alive after being kidnapped is insane. I had shivers when they showed that story yesterday. And those 3 criminal brothers are so ugly and creepy. What a nightmare for those poor women. Danny did a lot of work in the yard when I was gone and put in a new bathroom sink and new taps for me. I’m having coffee and trying to wake up and then I’ll be going over to clean the renters’ house. I’m waiting for a verdict today. Carole
Dear (((Liz)))! I was going to email you, but my email is asking me for a password, and for the life of me, I can’t remember it, as it hasn’t asked me for a password for many, many months. I’m going to have to take my computer in and have it cleaned I think. I arrived safely last night after midnight, and I was given a room that had to be 100 degrees. I called the front desk and the girl said that I must have been given a "hot" room, and that she had a list of "good" rooms. I got another room and slept 5 or 6 hours, and got up and drove home. I saw a coyote walking in the ditch on the drive home. I went to my daughter’s and the souvenirs were a great hit with my granddaughters, especially the astronaunt ice cream. I’m getting a bit concerned that there is no verdict yet. Being in the courtroom during the day of closing arguments for the prosecution was a dream come true. Thanks Liz for the awesome week. I’m looking forward to our next visit. Your grandson was a litte charmer and so smart. Say hi to him from me. Carole
HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Bettie! Hope you feel special on your special day! Carole
Dear (((Bettie)))! Sounds like the doctor is probably sick of those HMOs and does know how to beat them at their own game. I have heard that bone cancer is one of the most painful cancers. Hopefully she will not linger and suffer, as she does sound terminally ill. I was going to phone you at 9:00 pm, but then I remembered that you were up at 4:00 am, and didn’t want to wake you if you were sleeping. I had your favorite of my granddaughters here today as her mother had a dental appointment. I made her up a doctor’s kit with stuff from a first aid kit we had extra. She spent the afternoon wrapping and taping Ruffuss’s "broken legs." And he was a trooper and just laid there like he really did have broken legs. She put a cervical collar on Zac my smallest dog and it’s the same dog that bit her a couple of weeks ago, and she has the scar to show for it on her forehead. She had it on him before he knew what hit him. Her and her sister are coming over for a "leapover" tomorrow. Keeps me away from gambling anyways, and that’s why I have them here several times a week. Carole
Dear (((Bettie)))! Sorry to hear that your suture is infected. Also that someone young that you know, has metastasized cancer. So many people in sad circumstances. The doctor wanted me to go to PT and I said no that I didn’t need to go, and would leave it for someone who really needed it. Were you able to get your medical leave date straightened out? Thinking of you! Carole
Dear (((Larry)))! I have never heard of pi day. I think of you every time I watch the TV show called Big Easy Brides which is filmed in New Orleans. The characters that come in to get married, are outrageous. It makes me want to go to Mardi Gras to people watch. I can so relate that once you slip, thoughts of gambling seem to surface more often. Carole
Dear (((Liz)))! I’m sorry to hear that your husband ****. I hope that you can take comfort in the fact that you provided him with loving care in the past months, since he was diagnosed. And also that he didn’t linger suffering. He is at peace now, free of pain and worry. As Vera said, it was wonderful that he passed from this life surrounded with people who loved him. Numbness is a gift at this time while you complete paperwork that ***** to be completed, so that you can move on to this next chapter of your life, as you grieve your loss. I told Danny that your husband had ****, and he asked me if I wanted to go stay with you. I told him that you would have family surrounding you, and that you would have much paperwork to attend to. But know that I am thinking about you. Carole
Dear (((Bettie)))! Sorry to hear that you’re bruised up and in pain. That physio sounds brutal, as do the inconsiderate, noisy neighbours. Thinking of you! Carole
