Ouch, and so sorry for you and everyone! I hope she realizes what's ailing her and takes care of it herself real soon. Best of luck with her!

In response to "Difficult Conversations "

I'm so sorry. I hope this time turns out better. My daughter is an alcoholic but alcohol free for 4 years now with the help of AA. She lives not far from her meeting place and goes often. Somehow she knows when she needs to go more often and does that. She has a good sponsor and I am so proud of her (she'll be 60 this year and has 2 adult children that she has reunited with recently). She tells me one has to be at the very bottom to realize the need to climb up. Of course, that bottom is different for different people, but she did "try" AA several times before "it took". Best wishes to you and your family.

If only time could stand still and when it resumes the slate would be clear...If only your words to the greater powers could happen our world would be a better place.

In response to "Holiday traffic "

It's not hot here but I agree about reasonable people changing into sadists when it comes to parking spaces. It's insane during the holidays.

In response to "Keep on trying."

I hear you! I do my best to do things well enough and I keep at them, but I'm not going to kill myself because if keeping at something useless, the effort I put in is useless. When I realize that I quit.
I admire what you did with the fish pond and it made me smile. And to think that you did it in one day! Wow!

In response to "Capital punishment "

The bible also says “turn the other cheek”. ( It’s full of contradictory stuff!)
It’s a complex question & I’m not sure how I feel about the death penalty.

In response to "Texting "

I think texting is detrimental to our communication skills because so many people use emoticons and abbreviations that when it comes to actual conversations they've forgotten how to use words. It drives me crazy when my granddaughters are texting while we're trying to have an actual conversation. I've said on more than one occasion what is it going to take to have your undivided attention. In my home, cell phones are shut off between 5:00-7:00 for family interaction time.

Have fun with these random words: thirteen, mistakes, frequency, radical, abundant, grinch, and koalas.

It’s difficult to write today with all the terrible news of the devastating loss of people’s homes in the fires. I think mistakes must have been made for such a catastrophe to happen, although I realise after the weeks and months of drought the resulting abundance of dry fuel exacerbated the fires.
It was a reminder of the fires we experienced here in Australia when people from around the world sent money towards the recovery. The vision of a Koala drinking from a fireman’s drink bottle went viral. That image showed the plight of the koalas, when their habitat was destroyed, better than any words. I’m sure everyone will be prompted to put their hands in their pockets and send donations for those poor souls who have lost everything. Even the Grinch’s ice cold heart would surely be touched by the disaster.
The frequency of forest fires is increasing as the earth warms. Climate change is upon us, the clock is chiming thirteen. and the LA fires are a stark reminder of what’s to come unless we all take responsibility and do something radical to turn things around.
