People quake before her, as they do before hubs, LOL! Sometimes I wonder how on earth I ended up with a business person like her, when I am so NOT inclined that way. I take care of the books and the house, and other stuff, though. When we go to Tick Hollow, she doesn't have to lift a finger. We really balance each other out, as I suspect you and hubs do. :h

Fen, we are BOTH so lucky. I'm held to a higher standard as I'm expected to pull my weight (he's a bit competitive!) When we were dating, last century! I was told several times I could do so much better, because he was an indifferent student. But he obviously adored me, and through each move up, he's had the knowledge and background, and I've supported the self-esteem which was lacking. When he went in to this last interview, I gave him 3 pointers I'd known a long time about him, and reminded him when meeting people who didn't know him they look a lot a body language. He chafes at criticism, but he listens to it, and obviously it works. The boy has rough edges. Now I have to help him choose a new wardrobe to reflect the fact that so many of his former bosses work under or at the same level as him. He torments me with details about our business dealings, still expecting me to be the 18 year old girl he dated, but nothing I really want is denied me. I work behind the scenes and present the right plan to him for improving our life, and after he yanh-yanh's a while, it happens. Have to let him have his bites, right? And YES, I'm looking for an 'assistant' to help me out with the grunt work so I can focus on cleaning up our business, then my art. He has always encouraged it, bought me so many things to promote it, yet he doesn't get that what I need is time.
I talked to him a bit about the situation over the weekend, that I really didn't want him to know about it and be worried till I couldn't find my car, and he just said don't worry, won't happen again. Sort of ominous. There's a lot of ex-B influence in Tay's behavior, though I don't let her use that as an excuse. You should have seen their faces when Hubs handed them their bills yesterday!! :H Free ride over! And he said something to them I didn't hear, didn't ask, when he did it. There's so much more to this situation, as with any, but I've gone on too long about it all. When their your babies, it's hard to be harsh, at least for me. But everyone needs to be humble about their gifts, not entitled. I DO know their mom had the idea Hubs and I owed her a standard of living, and that rubbed off.
So sorry to rant on about me. And I have at least 3 more life-altering situations I'm involved in, some I need to really address. I can't help myself. And it does take a lot out of me. But that's me, again, and I can't watch people I care about in distress without at least trying. It's the biggest rub between Hubs and me.
I know I shouldn't post all this, with all the dramas going on here with my friends, but I'm not asking for sympathy, just hoping you'll understand more about me. I've promised Hubs and myself I'll address MY health problems. Have lots of ideas, just hard to find time for.
Promise on my future post not to talk about me, just you and your situations. It always a good thing to have you and this place to come to. You all mean more than you know. I told Sun she was everything I'd like to be, but I know I'm me, with my history, my situations, my limitations, beliefs, and I can only be me. I've reached a better spiritual, emotional plane In the past, attacks on me would have been devastating. Now, there's a sting, but it's momentary. My whole life is often surreal, always has been. There's nothing to prove but to myself. And to support the good that my loved ones do. No time to sweat small people.
Where I (normally) chill...............





Thank you all for supporting me. And caring. It's means so much.

Rubes...I love you and support you very much. BTW-can I move down there and be your assistant??
I'd take very good care of Tink and Ninny too! I could even bring my 2 goats for Ninny to play with.

I just wanted you all, my dear friends, to know that my daughter's sister-in-law passed away on Friday...she had just turned 30 and left behind a 2 year old daughter. She was only diagnosed with stomach cancer 1 1/2 years ago.......

Jan....I hope you had an awesome birthday...and you too Tony.

Sunny...I so hope your check up goes well.

I do pop in now and then...I like to keep up with my family here.

Oh Kelly...I am so sorry. There really isn't much else I can say.
Ruby...I count myself in the lucky department too. My hubs sounds like yours in many ways.....
He chaps my butt at times, but that's ok. Lord knows he has put up with me. I am so proud of D's promotion...
yes, I wish I could be as queit and serene as Sunni Butt too

Sweet Kell, I know you've shared so much about this remarkable young woman, and WHAT a loss this is! I'm so sorry, to all involved, but especially her children. Sending you all hugs, dear.
YES!! Come on! Bring whatever wildlife you want, and you'll get the royal treatment, as it's SO hard for me to let anyone help me. Believe it or not, I've got a list of people who want the job, but you come first. Just tell me when and where. I've been meaning to call you, just no time. Don't make me worry about you, OK??? Hubs would think you're an angel!!!
Speaking of my own personal demon, he gave away my little personal heater for my office Sat to a renter. Ohhhhhh, that's one he'll regret!!!!:H He said, 'what did you want me to do? His daughter was cold'. I replied 'tell him to go buy his OWN frickkin' heater! That one was mine! Which one of us is more important??' Now, I'm imagining my feet are very cold! :H So goes our normal banter, and I'm sure I won't suffer long. Just the way we do things, but his big heart got the better of him.
Again, Kelly, I've told you I'm here. And I, we, miss you. Any word on Vick?

Thank you both so much. Jan-I would love to meet you and your "demented" child....He certainly did make a great impression on Sunny & Ruby.

Vicki is doing very well.....she is focusing on her health and doing a lot of inspirational studying. She always sounds so upbeat and optimistic when I talk to her.

Guy, while you need to experience all the feelings, from a relapse, don't let them rule your life, son. It was an EVENT that happened in your life. Did you facilitate it - YES. But remember, it happened. It is the past. So what do you want for the future?? Don't you ever give up, and you have people here who will help you. Not judge you. You need a 'soft' place while you recoup your self-esteem, and decide who you want to be.
