Nora so sorry about your mom....we are all at that age where our parents are getting older and in failing health...so damn hard to watch....

Heading off to bed shortly...

Nora, I am so sorry about your mother! I know your brother will monitor her closely, but wow...this sucks. :l

Zen, I do not have high hopes for Bill. I do hope that you'll remove his arse from your abode if he acts up again. You can really do without his shenanigans! Not trying to be a jerk, just caring about you. :h

Mama, glad you're back safe and sound.

I have a funeral to attend in the morning (Mrs. Fen's friend's hubs), and cabin after...but I wanted to post an update about the Fennel-mobile. It did not actually have a radiator leak at all. My mechanic is certain. I told him about my tire patching experience with Goodyear yesterday and he immediately "got" it. He says (since they were trying to up sell me on everything) they probably removed my radiator cap to check on fluid levels...since I'd just driven mom from her appointment, the fluid was hot and spurted up, creating the odor I noticed later. We laughed our butts off!

Thank you my friend... :l

I'll let it play out because I don't want to have it on my conscience, chucking him out. It's all on the table now... and it's up to him. I do feel a bit bad for his childhood but Gawd knows mine was no picnic... so..........

Dotts... How are you getting on with the rental house?

fen, "Oh, and Dottie...I found my "dongle"!!! " WooHoo!!!!!
Zen met with the realtor today and she made great suggestions. It still bothers me but I MUST do this for ME....not dh's responsibility and if it fell to his kids I would roll over in my grave.....so now is the time. Going back next week to start on the little things realtor suggested. Need to replace the garage door and have a roof guy come check that out. Lots of little things to do..pain in the arse but not really too expensive....I have to do this.....damn....
Tomorrow I get my hair done and doggie to the vet for annual shots and toenail trim. I need a pedi but no time...just wear gym shoes for now....double damn....
But in a good mood anyway!!

Zenny, know I 'be been somewhat AWOL but agree with Fen..not high hopes here. Just reading your life in the post- clearly you are a gal with so much life going on...it would be tough for for Bill to keep up.

Dots, I got sent everything from my parents house on a DVD to see what we wanted. It was surreal.
But hugs to you. We are all in the boat on this one...oh, also our renter called last week with THE LIST of everyone that needs fixing...needless to say, your giving me second thoughts on just dumping out of it....:l

Pauly is Michelle back in WA?? How did she react when little Louie freaked out...

Nora, I am seriously getting in to Essential Oils- I'm not kidding, these things are a complete revelation to me. Sedona hasn't had a nose bleed in weeks...my head cold cleared up in 3 days - usually hangs on for weeks!!- my husband herniated disk is actually feeling pretty well and my Raynaugs has cleared up.....some small side effects like itching and the Oregano was really iterating but I'm learning how to use them much more effectively. I'd be happy to email the link for hubby's pain. I usually just poo who this stuff, but OMG I can't say enough good things about them...wish the technology had existed to extract the plant oils like they do had existed 20. Years ago...there's even oils for addiction.... Sorry, I rambled :eeks:

pops I just noticed low battery on this IPad...don't want to get sucked in the vortex...off to recharge ...no time for a spell check!! Sorry!!!

Kradle the rental was more trouble than it was worth.set boundaries for renters on what is your responsibility and what is theirs..I was too dam nice.....my fault.
I love essential oils but not sure if that caused one of my allergic reactions or not and am afraid to try them again..drat...

Okay back and plugged in!

Fen, the car incident sounds a bit fishy...though I'm sure rodents were involved- 2 and 4 legged ones. hugs for tomorrow's events. Best to Mrs Fen...

K9 I do not understand how you can have this job and still be going in for a Psych eval??? And at 4 am no less or some such hour?? Looks like the PD could do with a Psych eval ,,
How is mom? How is dad?

Okay off to do some work. I've been working with the most amazing Trader these last few months. Known him for years and always new he was the best but to shy to ask for IRA help... Well, he offered and I am learning a lot and having.so much fun...oh and making a better ROR than Edward Jones thank you very much! harrumph!

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE. GLAD TO BE HOME!
:l

PS Fen- I'm on season 4 of Mad Men and really enjoying it!

Nora, is Scott talking Meds for his pain? I cannot imagine having to put up with that 24/7....it's bad for both of you
Dots, you sound strong and sure about the house sale and I think it's the best thing to do!
Zennifer, I thought about you as I scurried all over Central FLA and wished I could have made it your way.
Charleston sounds fun. I will be serving at Moms annual 4th of July party. Boo Hiss. Not sure what to think about "Bill Gate", but I know you will do what is best for you. Otherwise the "bad girls" may show up on our doorstep.
Yay about the Fen Mobile. Your critters sure give you a run for your money!
Hey allswell. I am so impressed with your running!
Ok, I really have to go this time. ❤️
Good luck with the psychO test Niner��
