    The Journey begins here so get YOUR ASSES IN GEAR!!!!

    Morning all!
    First off, WELCOME Phoenix!! I've missed seeing you around. You will love this 'family'. I MORE than understand what you've gone thru w/the recent funerals. I've lost 5 people recently who were VERY dear to me. One was a good friend here. And another is in a terrible place b/c of AL, and am afraid she won't last long. One of the other 5 died from AL abuse, too. A horrible warning!
    Rog! I WANT one (and I'm not kidding!) You work out all the kinks in your building process with this one, then we'll really talk. Can't believe what you can do with an idea. Did you study the pics ya'll took of my little mantel canoe??
    Sunny, yes, if you can drive an automatic, your ready to roll. Tuck you injured right leg under, and operate the pedals with your left foot (I advised some practice before you take to the highways!!) Don't I know about boredom! Spent a month on the couch, then 6 months in a wheel chair. I could put NO weight on my leg, and it didn't heal correctly. Plus, first doctor missed all the breaks in my foot and it healed wrong. To absolutely correct it, my foot needs another surgery (my 3rd) where they'll remove a chunk of bone, fuse my foot bones, and another 6 months in a wheelchair. SO, I just hobble, can't commit to that much pain and time.
    Birdy, you do beautiful work too! I had no idea you had that talent as well as being a musician. Resist the urge not to pay your insurance, though. Any time you have gas money, you're welcome to camp at the cabin, or stay in the house with us. I don't do loud inside, though! :H
    Vick, MB, Mas, Tech, Tony, everyone! Hope you have a great day and don't get too hot. As Birdy said, it's so hot and humid here it's like wearing warm rain. Thanks guys for putting up with my venting about renters yesterday. It's amazing what they'll ask.

      Morning Family
      I am in a bad place this morning...I logged onto my checking account and I have $10 to last a week..I thought I had $700....how did I screw that one up....I paid for my son's 1st qtr college tuition and had to buy my other son's textbooks, so I guess I miscalculated....
      I am just sitting here crying...I don't know what else to do.Papa Bear refuses to call his sweet father...he would give us money in an instant, but Bret is proud.......
      I think I am going to find a Jackie Robinson baseball card and try to sell it.....
      I HATE THIS...
      sorry to dump on ya'll ...I dont really have anyone else to talk to.....
      I'll shake off my pity party in a minute, but my husband needs to take his ass to McDonalds if that what it takes...
      he just passed his insurance exam and is going to start selling mortgage protection and life insurance, but I am skeptical.....
      Hope everyone has a better day than me!!!
      I love my family more than alcohol.:h
      Live in the Solution....not the problem

        Oh, MB, been there, felt that pit in my stomach. It HURTS, and we scramble to figure out how to survive. We're here, you vent as much as you want.
        Tech, forgot to mention: That's one UGLEEEE FISH!!
        The tenant I'm taking to court is FINALLY moving out. Also, I'm getting great support from my current and former renters, who are all writing letters. One, who is pretty high up in the county now, told me this is going to really hurt this guy. Part of me feels bad, but DANG! I need that $5000+!!

                  Hi there Mb - sorry about your situation - been there!! Vent all you like - as Rubes said - that is what we are here for. You will manage somehow, I know you will. Ruby - thanks for the okay to drive (LOL). I have a park behind the house that is not used a lot and will try driving over there this morning. I know I will feel a lot better once I can get out. I sat outside on the step and talked with my s-i-l on the phone this morning which was nice. I don't often have a spare hour to chat!!

                  Hubs goes back to work today - he has been such a grump that I will be pleased to be honest. I would rather manage on my own than have to keep asking him to help - I feel as if I am bothering him every time I ask.......which I HATE. I am usually so independent. I filled the birdfeeder this morning - took some forethought and a little ingenuity but I managed it! Go me!

                  Wake up everyone else! Time to rise and shine.

                  Hugs and love to you all,
                  Sun xx

                    Hopping around here getting things done. Want to be SURE everything looks perfect when I get to court. I do a few things on faith, but being a landlord has made me extra cautious. I expect to be disappointed sometimes in what I give, and hope I'm helping, but I refuse to become bitter. Hubs may chastise me for my charity, but he's really a softer touch than me. Otherwise, we'd be rich, stingy people. Not how I want to be remembered.
                    Vick, how are you, love? I, we, worry about you.

                        Oh, T!!!! That's FABULOUS!! Would be so perfect at the cabin (hint hint!).
                        Sunny, I know we're sisters. Though several of inventive measures have left me injured!! Oh, and crutches!? They nearly killed me! Hubs was across the (big) room, and I suddenly realized I was going to fall over backwards. I did, missed all the furniture, but landed like a sawn timber. Scared the POOP outta Hubs. He took the crutches and hid them!

                          LOL Ruby - yesterday I went down our (three) back steps and started losing my balance at the bottom, sort of threw myself so i would go backwards - landed on my rear end on the concrete step!! I have very little padding and am SOOOO sore this morning - lovely bruise too! Hubs didn't see and I am not telling - or he would take the crutches away too!!!! Literally a pain in the rear!! LOL - have to laugh eh??

                          T's canoe looks awesome - I think a couple at the cabin would be a grand idea then when you have company, a few folk can go out canoeing together - Rog ?????

                            Thank God Hubs is a big strong man. He's had to carry me a LOT! Wish I had a video of me trying to get from my car to the house! He finally just picked me up like a sack of taters and carried me in!! Oh, the indignity!
                            BTW, YES, 2 at the cabin, for our meet-up, would be fabulous!

                              Oh funny Ruby - my neighbour saw me struggling to get to my daughters car the day it happened and offered to carry me - i hopped to the car PDQ and thanked him very much but I was fine!!

                              Think I might go and find something to eat - I am going to have to watch it though - with NO movement I am going to gain weight unless I am careful!! I am happy with my weight where it is.......

                                Welcome, Phoenix to our family! You will LOVE it here! Congratulations on 7 days AF! I am on day 9 after about 35 years, too! Roger, the canoe looks great! I can't believe how fast you got it built. Well, yes, I can, I've seen what a hard worker you are. Can you maybe take a break now? Hope ya'll have fun Sunday. Sunshine, I'm sure they miss you at work, but we are happy to have you here writing more posts. Try to get some rest and stay off your feet! Take advantage of the free time you have and do the things yoou enjoy like reading some of those books you love. Bird, you might really enjoy working at the bookstore. Give it a try. Awesome drum! Ruby and MB, loved your funnies! I couldn't see the inchworm (too blind) but that's funny. Ruby, when is your "meet up at the cabin"? My good friend, New Creation, wants to come to our house labor day weekend and would love it if you and MB or anyone else nearby could come. She lives in Houston, so don't think she would wanna drive to Georgia, but ya'll could come here. MB, I am so sorry you are having financial troubles. I truly believe in the power of prayer. I've seen how God will open up the floodgates of heaven and pour out His blessings on someone! Is hubs working anywhere? Hopefully, he will do well selling insurance and mortgage protection.
                                Well, I feel pretty good today, even after standing most of the day yesterday making salsa. I put up 12 quarts of it, but Paul will have it all eat before summer is over! It suppose to be 112 today so everyone in the south stay indoors or wet! I love all of you and miss those of you are are too busy to check in. Hope everyone has a GREAT
                                day! Love, Vicki
                                I'm not what I should be, I'm not what I could be. I'm definetly not who I want to be,
                                but I'm sure not who I used to be!

                                There is no pit so deep that God's love is not deeper still.
