get an otter pop now!!!!!! You hang in there and don't do it.

I'd threaten you but that would get me no where. you tell me your older and meaner so bite me!!!!!!

I'll go hide over there behind tweeze she can distract you long enough for me to escape.

Rick, I think you did the right thing. I think you are trying to do what is BEST for the kids. They are the important point of the entire mess. If you believe in your heart you are doing what is best for the kids you should be able to sleep with a clear conscience. It may not be the ideal solution but life is usually a compromise.

Alcohol will not solve any problem, it just makes other problems, but you know that already.

Good Grandpa!

The kids are my only concern, They matter more than anybody else, including Beth or myself. I just hate that this whole situation had to happen.

Now David, I would love to see you hide behind Tweeze, that would be like my 23lb cat hiding behind a table leg. He hides his eyes and can't see me so I must not be able to see him. That three foot of fur sticking out must not be there, he can't see me. :D

^
Yeah what he said. Can I stop hiding now?

Like I said before call if you need to.

I wass thinking more along the lines of the perfect distraction for my get-a-way.

ha ha. The Stijn method of coping. When the going gets tough, Stijners hit the otter pops.

Best wishes, Rick. You've set aside your personal dislike of POSSIL, and you're thinking of the best interests of your grandkids. That's not easy to do. Hopefully you can be there for your daughter when she comes around. Strangely that may be easier for her to do if her kids aren't there.

Lets just hope he dosn't get a case a day habit going.

I am going to tell her to go pound sand. :D

Rick, so will anyone in authority be checking on the possil and the children in Pittsburg? Just to be able to reassure you that all is well, and you two aren't stressing how it is all going.

Are you feeling any better this afternoon, fever etc?

I have several people lined up who will be part of the boys med. care. The microscope is already set up.
I guess I feel better, my mind is finally starting to slow down, so I think sleep will come tonight.
On the bright side Beth is already planning what we are going to do with the house once it isn't a storage facility anymore. That is a very good sign

lol to the microscope,

Thunda

Azzy I can't help it if my parents were better at stacking 5hit than yours were. :)

Glad you have things worked out, Rick. I don't know why issues you have with the son in law but glad you are able to postpone destroying him for the kiddos best interests.

/begin stream of consciousness rambling

i really wish i had some people i could talk to, in person, regarding life stuff. i often feel isolated and my closest friends (i never had very many) are either incommunicado or in prison (for good reason, actually, and they burned the bridge of friendship long ago). i don't talk to family. its a problem.
