Westbound Repo Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic!

Unfortunately, since we are self employed they are not allowing any breaks what so ever. In fact, they are lowering credit card limits by 50% even with the highest credit rating possible and cc not at max rates. Several of our friends are having the same problem as self employed folks. As usual self employed people get the least financial benefits possible because we are high risk (even though we are entering our 14th year of business and are booked 2 years in advance.) They also don't forgive our county much for anything. Highest insurance rates of all of southern Cal. Forget the fact that our country is founded on entrepreneurs! Can you tell this fumes me?

When we asked you should hear the mountain of paperwork they wanted from us. Records for years and years.

Oh, that's a bummer. Not fair at all.

Well..I have had a great start to our summer. My daughter has turned a one night sleepover with her cousins into 3 nights. She just called to ask is she could stay again...love it. So I have been watching lots of movies at home, just me and the cat and the dog. I can recommend Jumper and The Other Boleyn Girl. I think I might read that book now.

Oh and we got our summer reading books for work and I was given "the 10 people who Suck: A positive prescription for improving communication in the workplace"

I like the title so it can't be all bad....

Steph:

Do you have the summer off? Or just a modified schedule with the kiddo out of school?

V, you've been awfully quiet. Did you finish your exam questions?

 

[HollyTyler]

For those of you who attended a beer tasting onboard, have you watched your DVD yet? I've watched it twice!

Hallo Thieves!!!

It's my first time back on the boards since the cruise, and I just wanted to say what a GREAT time we had. The fish extender thing worked out so well, and the kids were so happy getting their goodies each day.

I can't believe our trip is over, and we don't have another cruise booked yet! DH and I are planning to do a long vacation to WDW in the spring though.. and we'll have a new member of the family along. I'm expecting baby #2 on New Years Day!!

Those are all very good, sensible suggestions. We DID send him to a very nice placement in Feb. but it was in St. Augustine....just too far away. There is another one in Sarasota, but they are in the middle of remodeling, and there is a new one being built in Avalon Park just east of Orlando. We are hoping it will fit our needs.......
I had a crazy idea....there is a company that runs rehabiltiation homes.....our house is already handicapped accessible, we should sell our house to the company and then Patrick would have a perfect place to stay.

That is NOT a crazy idea. It sounds like a good one. As in MY FAIR LADY "She's got it! I think she's got it!!"

Look into it. Perhaps your house could become a group home so Patrick had other people to interact with and caregivers there also but he is still in his familiar surroundings. Instead of Patrick moving out like Michael did, you and Chuck would move out to a smaller place and Patrick stays put.....

If you get it set up now, you will know you are happy with it and that Patrick is happy with it instead of having to worry about what will happen to him if something happens to you.

Now, I also have my mom to consider. She's having a lot of trouble with her blood pressure, and she is depressed. I went over to go to the cardiologist with her today, and she is a rather difficult patient!

She didn't bring her meds with her and she didn't know how much she took, and she denied that she has high blood pressure, she doesn't want to do a stress test...etc etc etc etc. Anyway, she IS going to have a renal ultra sound next week, and she wants me there, and she has agreed to have a treadmill stress test, but she wants me there for that too!

I finally talked her into trying to find a temporary short term rental here in Orlando area. So we'll see........

You sure have a lot on your plate.
Where does your Mom live now?

Best wishes with it all,
Jan
