My Moms spirit keeps me going, Im not religious but I know she wanted a good life 4me...as your Mom prolly would just my 2 cents...and years of analysis, lol
God Bless Your Mother.
I attend church and the Bible I carry is one that I received as a Chistmas gift in 1966....age 12.
Computer desk is broken. In all his wisdom, when DH bought the bedroom suite, he bought a cheap a&& desk. It's that press board stuff. Well, the screws to the pull-out shelf for the keyboard have been falling out, one by one. Each time I find one, I give it to him and tell him it's from the desk. Yesterday, I said something needed to be done with the pull-out, that it was listing to the left and doing funny things. Yeh, yeh. Of course, we can't do it on anyone else's schedule. It has to be when teh Muse strikes. Well, this morning, I came in to look something up, pulled out the chair and the shelf fell down from the left and hung at a 90 degree angle. So I went out and told him. You know what his response was? "Well, you know..... we need a new computer." Huh???? There is absolutely nothing wrong with the darned computer! Yes, there are issues but I don't think we need to go spend lots of $$ on a new one when I'm sure it's just something weird that's going on that can be fixed. NOt a word about the desk. I think we're coming up on a hubby auction real soon here.
Get some duct-tape for that computer desk! it will drive hubby nuts seeing it every day until he fixes correctly. Lol Put duct-tape all over the thing just to make him upset.
I understand how you feel. I have the same situation.
Our Mother died in 1971, we were kids, the family split up. The rest of the kids were in touch with each other, but I never met them again until 2004.
We talk once in awhile on FB, (the family has it's own page).
I understand that they don't know me that well since the split up, but some of the responses I get(which is few) (even from cousins) makes me feel that they'd rather go on with life without me. And(seriously) the way things are going, it looks like they'll be gettin' their way.
Lost my Mom in 80's-my brother took off and went to med school- (I only have 1 sibling, him, unfortunately)..Then dad got sick years later, I was caretaker. ONCE in a whole yr did prodigal brother come to visit Dad in hospital/nursing home.
Now he doesnt even return emails, I have never asked him for a penny, he is a millionaire and last time I called just to say hi he was rude and condescending. C'est la Vie...I am done wanting or needing approval from him. He also has a baby daughter I have never met...
Thanks mkfarnam i still have the catholic prayer books she had in the 1950's...everything about her was special, she loved everyone and worked with runaway kids...
Explaining to a young employee why you only get paid time (8 hours) and not mileage when you are driving a company vehicle for the umpteenth time. Explaining to my boss that we have to pay him for his time travelling (8 hours)..listening to both of them

Last Friday, a young woman from the neighboring town went missing. Her cell phone was found on the road/bridge that runs thru our farm.
Tuesday, at dawn, the police conducted a search starting at the bridge and working out from there. 3 jurisdictions of police, search dogs and an airplane. Very thorough and very professional.
Her parents had been here since before dawn. As the day progressed, the stress on the mother really started to show. I sat and talked with her a couple times during the search. Lovely woman.
The police found the missing woman last night, alive and well in Kansas.
WTF? Kansas doesn't have phones? She couldn't call home and let them know she was ok? Collect calls do still exist....
Why is it the kids have so little patients when it comes to bearing with me about the computer, but expect me to be patient with them when it comes to them spending my money... LOL They don't mind bothering me to do what they need done so they really shouldn't mind putting up with me. I mean fair exchange is no robbery. Who is going to love me when I get old
