Liz and Dottie - huge hugs for what you are going/have been through. And the same for Nora and Mama. :l :l :l
My parents are still very healthy (in the next couple of weeks my Dad is turning 80 and Mum will be 78) but it breaks my heart even thinking about what lies ahead for us one day. And I'm very conscious that 'one day' could be tomorrow. The other thing that makes me very sad is that they've pretty much been together since Dad pulled Mum's pigtails when he was sitting behind her in the cinema in 1948 (they were 12 and 14) and their world still revolves around each other so God only knows how whichever one is left behind will cope.There's two ways of looking at the holes in your shoes

YAY Glass!
Yes, it is hard watching your parents die. As a Mom I try to keep it in perspective and be thankful it's not one of my precious boys.
Sheets changed, laundry done, vaccumed the house, did dishes and now I am flopping.
I think we are going to see American Hustle at the movies tonight.I love my family more than alcohol.:h

My goodness you're a busy little bunyip, Mama.
Hmmm, and you probably don't know what a bunyip is either. Gosh - you other side of the world folk, I don't know [shakes head in dismay].There's two ways of looking at the holes in your shoes

Good afternoon peeps,
Sorry for the brief msg the other day but just wanted to let you all know I was ok.
I am home after a wonderful week in NY, yes I did wonder when I got there and stepped out of the terminal having left 80's temp to arrive in 30's and then the huge snow storm arrived....WTF was I thinking.
BUT this did allow us to spend quality time together, talk, snuggle, play checkers almost every day and we are getting pretty good at it after not playing for so long. It was difficult to leave but we are already working on a plan to meet again....
Hope every one had a great new years and by reading some of the stories sounds like they were interesting - right mama?
Wishing everyone a great continued weekend as my son and I now fight to dispose of this nasty pest that seems to have bedded us down... darn this is nasty.
FTAF with a few speed bumps during 2014 & 2015 but will succeed.
As of 4/12/2014 I have not smoked at all and feel great.Comment

Hey everyone......
Glass - you make me laugh. :H I just had to look up bunnyip. Still laughing about your fake penis under the bed. ROTFL
I've been busy all day. Saw my Psych - went grocery shopping, pulled some dead plants out of the planter (and stabbed myself on a thorn :upset
, laundry, dishes and more.
Told the psychiatrist how well I had been doing and did well off the antabuse for awhile. Then had a bad period. She mentioned being sure to have the AB for when I start feeling fragile and take it in the morning before I leave the house. Such a simple thing......but, I need to pay attention to that. Anyway, I see her again in April and she wants me to have my liver enzymes checked before I see her. So, just stay on the AB for now.
Well - we're getting free HBO & Cinemax this weekend so back to my movies.

Glass this is absolutely OUTSTANDING!! :yay:: And you kept that Dark, didn't you! I'm so proud and yes, so glad you here. You help me so much this Journey. And I think your Bunyip might be a bit like our Snipe- a mythical creature that unsuspecting, rather 'gullible' people are lured into hunting.....am I close?Glass Half Empty;1611414 wrote: But on a brighter note, in 11 days it will be my 1st anniversary as a Stepper!

Liz, what can I say? Your're going through the fire without a glass of wine in your hand:goodjob:. I wish I could have said the same...I had bottles in my hands. My parents house is still crumbling back in Providence, RI- My childhood home. My husband went in Late one night while he was back East on business and gathered up items I was asking for on the phone...it was absolutely surreal. But now, almost 5 years later, it all seems like a strange distant memory and my time with my parents stands out brighter!
Dottie I loved your laundry multiplying in the Dark...like Tribbles...
Pauly, didn't we all warn you to stay away from the Mucinex, young lady. Don't make me fly down there and flush it!
Mama, please come help me clean.....I promise good gossip....
Today was strange but no one threw up which was nice. I still haven't posted about Matt...between being so ill and then bringing the girls hither and yon...we'll. suffice to say we are making progress and DH and I fly out to Arizona end of February for Parents weekend. I can't tell you how much I a looking forward to meeting other people with kids like Matt. That may sound awful but honestly - dealing with an ODD child can get as lonely as drinking myself to death...worse actually....
FT so happy to see you back but now that your occupied with all those games of checkers...umm...do you think you can loan me some greatest flyer miles?? Alaska flies direct to Phoenix...
Love you all...going to clean Now! :lOn My Own Way Out Since May 20, 2012
