For us the inheritence thing is a big issue, and after my mother passes I see nothing but trouble ahead, primarily because I'm fairly naive about all of it, my sister is the greediest soul I know, and I've already been kept in the dark most of my life. I can ask Mom questions until I'm blue in the face, but she just…

So interesting. I'm a bit embarrassed to say tht I never did get through the book; maybe too young at the time to understand. And technicolor cetainly loved thosed slippers. I'm going to see if the Documentary is still around:)

Lovely.

Couldn't agree more. I really think that of all the people who can hurt us, family pain will always be the worst. I'm not even sure how families are supposed to act anymore, I feel so betrayed. I still keep hoping that some day we can be reconciled. Maybe not. And then there's the whole freak'in horrible iheritance…

Not only that, but you put that so damned beautifully!

What a provocative question! I seriously don't know how to answer that. I wonder if the narrative needs or wants my forgiveness. I've never really been able to identify with these boys and their situation. Maybe the question isn't so much can I forgive as How can we inspire love in young people (and everyoe else? Hard…

Thank you , it does jog my memory, and that was a VERY visual description. I was right there with you! Problem solved VV. Thanks!

Thank you so much E. I just can't watch that film anymore. Sigh. Have you ever wondered why they are RED, ruby, and why feet are so important to this narrative? I sure have (but lazy me....):)

I DO understnad, and I know that I am in the minority. I have only had two traffic tickets in X years (and both before I was 21), but that is only because I'm a "frightened" driver. I had an accident (and ended up PTSD) without even knowing it. Now I know why I can't drive on interstates. I don't want to judge; all I…

Absolutely agree. What can we do about it?

Sorry Hud, appreciate your explanation, but I guess I'm still too stupid to get it. No problem.

Nice, eh?

You are so kind. Thank You :)

Oh dear......

I understand; I'm a nightcrawler too. But you HAVE to re-energize (shit, why am I saying that? You know your own body)I'm just concerned. MOST IMPORTANT, don't feel uncomfortable about all of this feedback. We are not holding any expectations over you (NO pressure). YOU will figure this out, in your own time, and YOU…

This is such a GOOD post. She sounds like she is in the middle of a Family storm tho, Shudder. Damn, how can we really help?:)

Just tell us what you what you would LIKE to happen. There is strength in numbers, and we are all behind you. For now, do you think that you could sleep? It is very late and you've been through A LOT. Do you think you can rest? I know this sounds cliche, but good people like yourself will "win out " in the end. Relax.…

Oops. Sometimes I HATE computers.

Ah, the Family Dilemma. That IS serious business. Damn, it IS worrisome. I really, very much appreciate the time you took to reply (guessing you've been pretty busy and probably very tired) Oh dear girl, I get you. Maybe time to do domething BOLD, surprrise the fuck out of everyone. I did that and got a lot of very…

That's because you ARE truly awesome, girl. (A restful Sunday to you).
