right now, someone relieved me at work for the afternoon and is training dd for the same job, so she can have some hours to earn her own money, and cover for me if i need to ever high-tail it to ds. my boss also offered a job to ds if he decides to come home for the summer. we will still have to pay the apartment rent, but maybe he can work one week's hours and dd the other week's hours and then ds can go back to his apartment on his week off. at this point, ds doesn't want to, but he doesn't know what he wants to do in any aspect at this moment, and things might change. spoke with the doc today and she still says it has to be okay with ds for me to go down. ds went from a definite 'no' to 'i'll let you know if i feel you need to come down.' the doc feels he needs to be in charge of some decisions. at least dh has quit with the 'you have to go to this school and major in this subject or you're on your own financially'...he finally realizes it's ds's life and ds needs to decide what he wants to be or study, and yes, he still needs our financial help. i am going to lie down for a little while as i have had maybe 15 hours sleep in the last week, whatwith the move and the present problems. it worries me that ds may go back to the state he was in last night as soon as dusk sets in and the long night looms ahead...so i have to be ready to drive 200 miles at a moment's notice. thank you all again for being there.

{{Tabby}}!!! Right now, I am pondering which vet to take my three felines too. We finally have enough money to take them for their shots. Punk and Speckle were due last year, and Bop was due in 2002. They were last at the vet when I took them during DH's and my separation in 2000. Our regular vet (a two-transfer bus ride away) charges $38/per feline for shots and exam. ($114 total) A vet in 10 minute walking distance sent us a "Welcome to the neighborhood" coupon, good for $30 off an office visit, good for up to 4 animals. Their regular price for shots and exam is $62/per animal. With the coupon, it lowers to $32/per animal. ($96 total) Of course, I can get a ride to our usual vet and I've never been to the new vet. In the event of a real emergency, I would probably take the feline to the walking distance vet, so as to not waste any time. In the future, I would definitely return to the old vet, since $62 is just way out of our reach. I'm not sure what to do.

right now, i would take them for their boosters to the new, coupon vet. knock on wood, but if you needed emergency feline care, you could choose which vet to go to for that. i take my pets to the low-cost vaccination day they hold at the park twice a year... right now, i am home and hoping son has an okay night...God, i love him so much and hate to see him so lost....he has been unable to hold any food down when he does remember to eat. he promised to sip some gatorade and eat some applesauce...

Right now, I'm thinking about Tabby and her family. I hope tonight is better for everyone. I've been on both sides - concerned about someone who is in crisis and the one who is in crisis. They are both incredibly painful. I hope you got some rest. Is ds getting any sleep? Keeping Tabby and ds in my prayers.

Right now, I just physically want to hurt my dd's exboyfriend. He is constantly making her cry and will not leave her alone. He's got some issues but he swears if she is with him, he will be okay. I won't hurt him but I really want to.

Right now, Lk, I might try the closer new vet this once for vaccines and well kitty check ups (take advantage of the coupon). You can meet the vet and decide if you want to go there in case of emergency (hope you don't have an emergency.)

{{{Tabby and ds}}}, I know first-hand how hard this is for you. Sending positive thoughts for both of you. It's encouraging that he is able to talk to you and the doc about it.

Maimie Have you spoken with your daughter? That is not normal behavior. I was in an abusive relationship, and it's scary how fast it esculates. If she won't talk with you, have her talk with someone she trusts (sometimes it's hard to talk to Mom) No one should be responsible for someone elses happiness. Tabby (hug) I only caught your last post, and I am worried! I have no idea what is going on with your life, but you and your ds are in my thoughts and prayers!

Anni, Whoami is serving banana splits in her folder. How does that sound to you?

Well, to be perfectly and totally honest, I'd eat it in a pinch, but I'd so prefer a hot fudge sundae with lots of hot fudge and Kool Whip. Do you think maybe she'd make me one of those.

I'll meet her in her folder and see if I can use my art of persuasion to "get my way." After all I am an "only" spoiled Princess,or so my DH and children tell me.

right now, i never did rest today. having only slept (and cried in my sleep) for way too few hours the last few days, i am 'punch-drunk' with anxiety and exhaustion. i am off to bed to pray for my ds and try and get a few hours of sleep. tonight, when i didn't want dd to see me cry, i went to the carwash and cried while driving through it. later she told me SHE went to the carwash and cried while going through it...

Tabby: Do whatever you can to try and get some sleep. It's bad enough what you are going through, then to add lack of sleep...it's unbearable. I'm adding "good rest" to my prayers for you.

Right now I'm eating breakfast at the computer! Anyone want a slice of a Dutch Baby and a cup of hot tea - with cinnamon in it!! Right now, if you are within driving distance of Lands End Outlet - go!! Great Father's Day bargains, 30% off of their marked down stuff too!! (I cant believe I bought a pair of khaki "custom made" reg priced $75 pants for $3!! I had to check, the clerk chuckled and explained the policy they were perfect, just "custom made" for someone else!! Woohooo!)

Right now, I'm sorry for your dh Kay. He should have a day to relax on Father's day. My dh informed me this morning that he will probably be going to the SF Giants game. I guess it's less for me to do. He works for the Oakland A's and doesn't get much of a chance to go see the Giants so I hope he has fun.
