    Rusty, I am single but I have had someone living with me for the last 24 years. He used to be my best friend but things are very strained and he is pretty much turned into an ungrateful freeloader. I have helped him so much over the time I have known him and he has a 13 year old daughter who is like my own. She visits every other weekend and I love her to pieces. Things have gotten unbearable with him and unless he makes a HUGE turnaround, he is going to have to go.

    We just got a new whole foods a couple miles from me, I have not tried that store yet. It's ginormous, I will probably be in there for hours when I go
    AL free since March 17th 2011...loving this life. No drinking no matter what.

    Hi my name is Lori and i am so happy to be here.

        Hi Red....oh, I am soooo sorry about the living situation!:hug: Isn't that something??? You think you know someone so well after all that time and then you find out they are not the person you thought they were...or they became ungrateful and changed.

        5 YEARS AF??? FANTASTIC!!!!:sohappy::thumbsup:

        I say we throw you a huge party on our thread!!! I will make the announcement on the 17th and I will let Ms. Nora bring the cake since she knows how to do cool graphics! Is that OK with you, Nora? What an incredible milestone. You are a fabulous person and I am always thrilled when you post. WHOLE Foods....love it but my sister-in-law calls it Whole PAYCHECK. Very pricey!! But fun...very fun...and a deli that is out of this world.

        Well, back to the cleaning. And why did I get rid of my cleaning lady? LOL. Hahaha

                  Pauly - how are you doing? I've been thinking about you a lot. Hang in there friend!

                  How long was Liz going to be gone? Mama - I hope that you get some rest today. Same to you Rusty! What are you going to do on your days off?

                  Things are going well here. Newlyweds are settling in here. I know they will be so happy when they finally have their own place. Right now, they come in after we are asleep. That means that hubby is sleeping in the living room which is right off the kitchen, just a half wall. So, they can't come in and fix themselves food or anything when they get home. Plus, just the whole learning to live together in a house full can't be easy. But, they seem happy and in love. They should be getting the proofs soon so I can show you some pics.

                    Fen - I think you are so amazing. I know how frustrating it is working with people that do such sloppy work.
                    I am really sorry that J & her attorney are being jerks. It truly is unbelievable to me that she does that and then thinks that you are ready for having a friendship. Hang in there - you'll have your own place, this hard patch will be in the past. :hug: :hug: I love you.

                      Mr V and AG - how are you doing now? Would you like to talk about what happened and ideas of what to do in the future? Or would you rather just focus on today? :huggers::grouphugs: I just want you to know that you can come here and talk about anything. If you're having cravings or even thoughts, just jump on here and post. I don't always post but, I do check in several times during the day.

                          Wow, this was a busy weekend for the "steppers" thread!

                          Red, I am sorry about your home situation. Does your friend pay rent? Why has he been living with you this long? I love my besties, but nine months in their basement has been enough for all of us, I think. I couldn't imagine crashing here for 24 years. I am contributing financially, now that I'm gainfully employed. It sounds like it's time to have "the talk" with him.

                          I hope Liz has a great time in Puerto Rico. I really liked it there, especially hearing the "Coquis" at night...

                          I wanted to have a fun weekend, but J texted me from her travels yesterday and told me she wanted me to pack up more of my shit at the house. As you all know, it's horribly emotionally difficult for me to be there, but I put on my big squirrel skivvies and went over. I brought over my laundry- figured I could turn a hard day into a "get 'er done" day.

                          J has a beautiful antique glass doored bookcase from her grandparents. Much of the collections within were mine. It was so hard to have to box everything up. Family photos, all of my arrowheads, insects, animal skulls, National Tinsel CO. antique Santa tree-toppers, my "Glo-rious" antique angel lights, etc. Rocks, rocks, rocks. Stuff from all over the living room.

                          I went upstairs to my art room and emptied my desk of all my art supplies and packed them up...hundreds upon hundreds of dollars of stuff, all into boxes. Then, I dismantled the desk for ease of moving. Hard, hard work. It sucked so bad, I vowed I would do something fun today. I got up (wow, did the day get late fast! I hate daylight savings!) and I hated my hair. It's been bugging me for a while. I'm growing it out, and all the various layers and lengths have just been sticking out everywhere, making me look very shaggy. I looked online, and a fancy pants salon in my old neighborhood is open on Sundays. I had an appointment at one o'clock.

                          O.M.G. I had scented oils massaged into my hair and scalp...a hot towel placed beneath my neck while my hair was washed. Fragrant oils gently placed beneath my eyes. Human freaking touch. She didn't cut off a lot of hair, but really cleaned up my look. I felt so much better! I have another appt. in eight weeks.

                          I also visited an art shop and spirituality shop. I will post the fun purchase I made.

                          I hope you are all having a good weekend.
                          Nora, thanks for your kind words. :hug:

                                Your find is so funny! I had to show Scott. You know he's Swedish.

                                Sorry that you had to deal with all of that moving yesterday. Have you almost got everything now so you don't have to keep going thru this? :hug:
