It's true, FF. I'm lucky that way. They're wonderful. Just had their 40th anniversary.

40 years of happiness! Wow!
You are blessed, Gray.
My father is like that -- will drop anything to help one of us. I never cease to appreciate his love and commitment to us. I hope that the others he helps appreciate him, too.
Hey, Gray, how are your brothers?

The middle one has disappeared into newleywedland. He's bonding quite a lot with his in-laws, which is both good and bad - it hurts my parents a little, 'cause they feel taken for granted and made the second fiddle.
The oldest one has just broken up with his GF. They went out for about six months. He's building his house all on his own. He's got 1000 projects to finish and no time. I'm a little like him that way, but I have a much lower threshold for the chaos. He seems to be okay though. He calls me at night sometimes and just talks and talks and talks. Just like Mom! Except she doesn't put me on speaker and eat dinner and pound nails while she talks to me.
Thanks for asking!
Did you get your horsie ride?

LOL, FF. Are you the oldest, too? I am and I think that's just how we get things done -- all at once. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Y'all should see me on the phone, cooking dinner and typing out messages on the board while pointing out mistakes in DDs homework. Multi-tasking at it's best!
GC, it rained yesterday evening so I didn't go, but I plan on seeing my pony tonight. I've heard he's now a brown horse (all that mud! -- he's usually white, if you haven't seen the pics) so he desperately needs a bath. He loves when I bathe and groom him -- his ears have a tendency to lop over, his eyes half shut, and his bottom lip hangs in relaxation. LOL. Hardly the regal white steed, but I love him!

SLH, I am the youngest girl and third child in the family but was on my own more or less at an early age. I have always worked and just can't sit and do one thing at a time.

I'm with Gray -- i don't do well with all the chaos. I can be productive, but I am much moreso when I have less on my plate at once. BOy I could benefit from some Ritalin! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> slh

I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.

Hi SS, I am ok. Sometimes out of the rough stuff comes good. Had a rough spot and it forced my H and I to deal with the hurt of my A again. We had not dealt with it too much cuz he was still caught up in his at the time. Turned out ok and he stood strong for me. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Aniston said that it was a lifelong commitment. Buyer. Pit said that as long as it was good, he was in it. Freeloader. That too.

FF, good good. To hear you say something like that... "He stood strong for me," is good good.
SLH, I have seen your horse.

For Warmth
by Thich Nhat Hanh
I hold my face between my hands
no I am not crying
I hold my face between my hands
to keep my loneliness warm
two hands protecting
two hands nourishing
two hands to prevent
my soul from leaving me
in anger
Thanks, Joanna.

My folks just left. They're great, but two days is long enough for us to be all under the same roof! They helped me lots.
Having someone help me with my house is tricky. Gotta resist looking over their shoulders.
