Oh Mama - I am so sorry that you are sick. I was hoping that you were feeling better. I sure hope that you can get some rest tonight. :h

Haven't had a chance to properly read back - just saw more info on the juicing and awful stories about your tenants.

I did make it to the gym - only rode the bike for a bit. It's always busy on Mondays so I would have been waiting for machines. Will probably go again tomorrow.

Left the gym and talked to my brother. Just seems like Mom is not doing well. I asked if I should come up now and we've decided that I'll wait for a bit. My son is going up in a couple of weeks and he has been working with elderly patients at the Physical Therapy facilities. So, we'll see what his opinion is. Of course if she seems worse, my brother will take her in immediately. But, we both are worried that if she gets admitted to the hospital that it might make it worse. She might give up. :upset:

I just wanted to check in. I need to go take care of some things. I'll be back

She was notorious for taking ten day trips to Italy and leaving her two felines with one litter box filled with an entire bag of litter in the downstairs closet. No cat sitters, nada. She left a huge bag of kibble out, as well.

She happened to be on one of these trips right before Mrs. Fen and I were to take possession of the house. Our eyes watered when we entered the front foyer from the ammonia from the litter box. I tried to get animal control involved, but unbelievably, since there was food and water, no harm, no foul.

The day finally came for us to move in...imagine our surprise to find half her crap still in the house. Plus, there was feces and urine caked on the walls and carpet in the closet where she'd kept the litter box.

When we denied her the security deposit, she had a fit, and demanded to know why. We absolutely had to itemize everything on the bill. She tried to threaten us with a law suit over how much we charged per hour for us to clean the feces and urine out of the closet- but we won that case. She actually believed that her leaving her armoire, cd rack, candle sconce (on the wall) and cheap fiber board shelf would add money to our coffers, and spare her the security deposit deduction. We didn't want her crap- we had to have St. Vinnie's come and haul it all away.

Never again.

No wonder we get on! You speak like a Lawyer, In Ye Olde English Mode. haha!

Love you hon... lots.

Off to bed... :l

Just checking into my room, going to grab a bite to eat and DIE! My throat is killing me and today was a mess at the new property. I HATE technology. Being busy was good. Otherwise I would be home crying. I know this will get better every day

Mama... :l:l:l:l:l:l As many as I could. ) Love you long time! Stay strong. I can send you antibiotics if you need them.

Gosh - Kradle I am really sorry - I didn't know all that you had going on - I mean, I knew some of it but not all - hugs to you ...... hope DH finds a job soon - I am not sure that I knew he was out of work. I am so sorry that Matt is struggling. Last time I heard he was doing quite well - must be frustrating for all of you. No wonder you are tired right now - so much going on, it is draining you. ((((hugs)))) :h

Dot and others with tenants - when my daughter moved out of her apartment last year, we made sure it was perfect! She got all of her security deposit back which apparently is a rarity from the place where she was living! I hate that people are like that and leave mess for others - it is all about respect and there isn't enough of it these days - but don't get me started on that!!

Corie - I agree - it seems so odd for it to be cold - it is so hot and humid here and I would do just about anything for rain ....

Nora - so sorry that your mom isn't doing so well - maybe wait and see what your son thinks when he goes to see her? It is really hard to deal with this isn't it? SO upsetting - especially when you do not live close to her too.

Jan - hope that your trip is going okay and that you are doing okay ..... take a deep breath and know that Axl had a happy life while she was with you.

SO much sad stuff going on here isn't there? On a plus note, my ear infection is finally beginning to get better .....

Fen, hope you are enjoying your time with your nephew - you should be getting ready to go on your trip any day now too .... hope you enjoy it - it sounds lovely !

Zen - how are you doing with the teeth? You seemed to go on for ever with that ..... is it all pretty much over with now ?

Reccy - I went to Oxford once - donkeys years ago - but don't really remember much about it. We did live in Herts for a while but then went back down to Devon ..... in a post a while ago you said that you did garden ..... what do you have in your garden? Our seasons where I live are so opposite - either frozen solid or way too hot - like I love sweet peas but cannot grow them here as it is too hot for them - there are a heat resistant variety that I can get but they have no scent and what is the use of a sweet pea with no scent ? I have lots of veggies and also grow cutting flowers too - someone once said that they just KNEW that I must be English when they passed my house and saw the garden ........ LOL

I need to go and get ready for work,

hugs to all, and sorry if I have missed anyone - as I am sure I have !!!!

Morning loves. Sick Mama reporting for duty. I sound like a sick sex phone operator... All husky and growly and hacking. Some antibiotics would be marvelous Zennifer.
I did not read all , but I will when I get home.
Let me chug some coffee, take vitamins and cold Meds and get to work
Hey Cori.... Hugs. If you are feeling battered, maybe you shouldn't visit for a bit?
I was thinking the other day that the Steppers" thread has become the Island of Misfit Toys.... And that's fine by me!!!
Love you all.... Off to spread germs.... Muahahahhaha

Cori - everyone is welcome here. But, we don't do drama here.....I adore the Undies so no bashing of them here. So, happy to have you join us in a safe, supportive setting.
