This totally steals my bliss each day and diverts my life from what I need to be focusing on- my own life & family.

Vent over. I just took a blood pressure pill. I'm literally shaking inside. Funny how unvented anger makes you vibrate.
Holy cow Deb I hope you can either get some help or get the hell out of there. I've been lucky with most of my neighbors over the years. My current neighbor is an idiot who likes to light fires - I've had to call the local fire brigade on a number of occasions in the 10 years we've been living next to him. It certainly makes like interesting when you live in the bush surrounded on 3 sides by National Park.....

Well it's been really terrible weather here - stinking hot one day and pouring rain/storms the next. We did get a little fortunate last weekend and score decent weather for the dog shows we went to. Didn't win anything to get too excited about and I managed to end the weekend with a really swollen knee but aside from that it was lots of fun. No more now until after my daughter's 21st which is only 5 weeks away!!!!!! Still trying to make the papier mache legs for the table centers. 3 down - 5 to go. Shouldn't be a problem if I keep working and don't slack off.

WHY OH WHY do people say stupid stuff like that!!?? ARgghh... I'm gonna cough on her and give her my "allergies". Only kidding.
Kinda...hey-it's a thought......
I'm not sure about the artery, but I cracked a rib coughing years ago.

Gooda Morning All.

Went to the doctor's yesterday and I'm on a dose-pack. Started it this morning and hopefully the swelling and redness will be gone by Saturday. The itching has calmed down too.

I'm glad it's "Incredible Kid Day" because I get to see my little nephew today after work.

^He won't be available until September, I believe, so you're just gonna have to come up with something else

And we need less stuff, not more stuff

Well, that's an awful situation to be in for sure. Here is my 2 cents again Deb....You need to keep a note book handy along with a camera...Document everything, dates and time. It's a little work, but when you need it, you'll have what you need, they will have sh..., nothing. as far as the back injury, I would really be taking pictures or video of that.

You know, I would even put up a few cameras...oh wait I have! lol
I've got my own problems here as well, though my fight is with someone that has way more $$ than me by millions....so far, I'm winning the battle.
