Ok... I have to find a dress that goes with these shoes...

http://www.talbots.com/online/brows...t&section=Regular&conceptIdUnderSale=cat70016

Not that I'm buying a $160 pair of shoes... but I've got Mark's wedding to go to in TX in August.... and snake skin is good for TX... isn't it??? :eek:

Perfect for a TX wedding...but you have to find them for less. :eek:

Perfect!! :rotfl:
 

Well now Casey got kicked out of his house. Jane is just being hard nosed. She expects him to be perfect like her golden child Tristan. He could never live up his older brother in her eyes. So now me and John are going to Virginia this weekend to help Casey move out. My brother is going to pay him his child support money directly instead of giving it to Jane. So Casey is getting a room to share in a house that he can afford. He still has to finish school this year and graduate in June. Jane took everything away from him and he needs a car and cell phone. Aunt Debbie and Uncle John are coming to the rescue there. Between me, John and my bro, we will make sure that he's taken care of. I don't understand how mothers can raise their children and then kick them to the curb when they reach teens. 3 out of my 4 boys have been kicked out. The only one that was not is the Marine. I just don't get it. Some people don't deserve to have kids.
 
OK you've got Kathe laughing too....it must be your telling of the tale Ian. Sorry. We're all laughing while you were ready to cry. No disrespect intended. But you are funny.

Kathe since my brother had to clean out my mom's house and all her things, I have really started looking around at my stuff and think that I need a big bonfire. Especially before we move to FL in two more years when John retires.

One of the smartest things I ever did was to start this before I knew we were moving. I pulled all the glasses, mugs and cups out of a cabinet. I put back the ones I liked (underline the I). Then I asked DH, DS#2 and our extra son-not-born-to-us if they wanted any of the others. They checked them over, said no and I was done. I put all the unwanted ones in the donate bags and got rid of them. I did the same with fabric, craft supplies, etc.

When we knew we were moving and would be downsizing to a condo 1/4 the size of our house I still had a lot to deal with but not as much. At that time I invited over a young friend who was setting up her first apartment. We went through the house room by room and I told her what was available and she put in her order. We loaded the chosen items into her car and mine and worked together to unload them at the apartment.

I also called friends to tell them we were moving, that the condo was small and I needed to get rid of _ _ _ _ _ _ and would list 5 or 10 things. 9 times out of 10 they were interested in something I needed to find a home for.

:yay:I now tell people that my things are alive and well in Northwest Indiana. :banana:
:hug:
 
Ya know Holly, that's not half bad if you're going for the snakeskin look. haha. And it's cheaper than the shoes!!:lmao::lmao:

It only comes in XS... my ANKLE is XS... :rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2:

Ohhh Deb... I don't get it either... I'm waiting for my ex SIL to throw Emma out because all support for her ends when she graduates. We do have the extra bedroom (my office) but I think she will probably go and live with her boyfriends family.

I don't get it... maybe she can't take being a mother - she definately has a problem... and Casey is VERY lucky to have you and your family to help him get a good start on life... :hug::hug:

The DIS changed color/format ever so slightly. And it's still SLOW.:confused:

Yeah..it's brighter, isn't it? Need to go put on my :cool2:

One of my friends said that once she cleaned her house as if she were gone and her children had to come and clean it out - what would they keep and what else was junk... she said it was very liberating...

Aw, Deb, how awful for Casey. :sad2: I'm so glad he has you and John in his life though. Hopefully he realizes that too and appreciates you. :hug: You both have such big hearts. :hug:
 
I'm über-pleased to report that all is well once again with the Eastwood Manor information highway.

Super-smart and good support at Apple (thank you AppleCare ).

I spoke to a great senior engineer who sent me a brand new Airpirt Exteme hub, even though mine was about 4 or 5 years old and well out of warranty. As he said, it was in the interests of customer satisfaction.

The Airport Extreme arrived yesterday and everything is perfect and super fast.

All is well with the world. Ive always had wonderful experience with AppleCare ever since Eastwood Manor switched to Macs back in 1994.

That's a great way to downsize Jan :thumbsup2 I have given a lot of stuff to my son and family.....still have way too much though! I have been very thankful that I kept as many toys as I have though...Serenity and I have lots to play with when she comes over :)

Well said Holly. Hugs Deb :grouphug:

:cool1: WOOHOO :cool1:

Glad life just got a whole lot easier for you Ian :hug:

I have had a lot of frustrations with my computer since I bought it 3 yrs ago...my DD and SIL bought a Mac about 4 yrs ago and still love it...I think I will look at a Mac for my next one, even if it does cost a little more initially.

Another FINE endorsement for my next computer!!!

And I was thinking it was just my tired eyes :upsidedow

generous and practical way to downsize :goodvibes

Happy for you. Ken's starting to think an apple might be our next computer.

its always nice to have a few toys around. It must bring back memories to see Serenity playing with the old toys.
 
Mom and I had pigs in the blanket for lunch today... brings me back to when I was little...

Also gets rid of some of the snacks I bought for the Superbowl game :rotfl:
 
Hi Friends, I've been very busy getting ready to move Casey into his own place on Sat in VA. Yet there was more drama last night. My brother paid Casey directly for his child support this month. It's more than double what Casey is paying for rent so he should do fine if he budgets. He also has a part time job and he's looking for a second job. So he'll be good. But he'll have to learn how to do a budget and start paying bills every month. Jane, his dear mother, decided that she wanted part of the money that he got from his dad. She said, "after all you're still living in my house for part of the month." Can you believe it? She wants to prorate her child for living in her house. The nerve. So Casey said no, "I can't do that. I need the money to start up and for a security deposit, etc." Jane's response? She kicked him out of the house right then and there. She couldn't even wait until Sat when we'll be there and he can move into his room in a house share. So he was only allowed to take clothes and a computer. He took it and brought it to his girlfriend Brittany's house to hold and then went to sleep at another friend's house until Sat. Brittany still lives with her parents. They are only 19 years old.

We are not permitted to go get the turtles that I'm taking back to my house.....she won't let us get them until Sun. John got so mad last night and called her. He said, "Jane I have to be up for work at 4am on Monday. I can't wait until late on Sunday to get those turtles." She said she'll be out of town on Sat so come by early on Sun. (She's got plans to go to the beach in NC for the day.) She doesn't want us or Casey in the house when she is not there and she won't cancel her plans. Meanwhile my brother is in Jacksonville, FL on vacation and he has been dealing with this all week since I called him on Monday. It's the first vacation my brother has taken since my mom died in 2007 and he's involved with all this drama from his ex wife about his son.

Jane is certainly not a kind, loving, giving, nurturing mother. She's all about money and control. If you're not doing things her way while she is profiting off of you, then she gets ugly. Who wants to be around a person like that? Imagine how Casey feels knowing that is who his own mother is. Last night he officially moved out on his own. He'll have to grow up fast now.

I believe that Jane is actually worse than Joe. If that's possible. I believe she is. Joe kicked out Tom and Kris, but they are not his kids. Jane kicked out Casey who is her own child. She couldn't even wait two days until he had a place to go. He had to leave immediately and without warning. She is going to be a very lonely person in the end. She only has her marine son who is her golden child and her best friend. Everyone else leaves her. She has no family on her side. They all left her years ago. Now Casey and our side has left her. Good riddens! Have a nice life!

Laundry is done, bags are packed. I can't believe that I am leaving Sat morning and I'll be home Sun evening.....Just one night overnight and I still have three bags packed. Granted they are small bags, but still. One is for leg dressings, one is for bathroom toiletries and one is clothes. EEK!!!
