What did you learn today? Part II

If someone made you feel that way, then f** them...if you feel that way about yourself, then maybe you need to do some soul searching. Only YOU can decide, not others. :hug:

I decided at 10 years old that church will never become a part of my life and is still is not 30 years later. I still feel happy with my decision.

What makes it even worse is she is usually this sweet little old lady that cries more than anything (emotional, cries at the drop of a hat, worse than Boehner). And the the fact that she reached out to me unlike previous pastor's wives had in the past. (most of them found out I was a line worker at a chicken plant that had a shotgun wedding, they wanted nothing more to do with me), but then again I'm the kind that if you get to close I'll only push you away. She reached out to me and I guess over a course of a year or so I've slowly let that gaurd down and now I've been attacked so I guess it's time to put that proverbial wall back up in place and swear to myself never again.

And people wonder why I don't talk much in public.

I have been betrayed by people from the community I love so much..the Deaf community but that doesnt mean I totally give up on it. I have been betrayed by the hearing community as well. There are bad seeds in all communities, even in the religious ones no mattter how much the religious zealots deny it.

I'm completely impressed by this!!!! You know, I tried to knit a scarf one winter... and the next winter... LOL it still isn'[t done. I'm pathetically slow at knitting.

I'm pathetically slow at knitting too, which is why I probably do about 10 crocheted projects, if not more, for every one knit project.

If you like working with yarn and find knitting tedious, I'd encourage you to learn crochet, either by taking a class or teaching yourself. It is much, much faster, both in the doing of it and in the (oops!) correcting errors part of it.

My 14 year old daughter has been knitting scarves since she was 10 and I cant even sew a button back onto a shirt. Sad, isnt it? lol.

OH! I do crochet. I *heart* crocheting, and have even been known to randomly crochet in classes and while watching movies or waiting at restaurants. :giggle:
 
We learned this morning that my MIL's aunt, who was s French lady that married during WWII passed away early this morning. Her husband, MIL's uncle, had died about 8 years ago due to Alzheimer's related issues at age 99. Well, Suzanne, died peacefully this morning after a long battle with cancer and Alzheimer's. She was 94.

On a side note, MIL's uncle who is still alive (there was something like 8-13 kids), he is the only one of all those kids still alive. He got a check-up this past week and he is doing well. Living with a daughter in North Carolina, and will be 105 in March.

She does come from a long line of people who can live to be 100 or thereabouts, only, her health is the pits. Her doctor told us this past week that she really is getting worse and we need to begin getting everything in order. Well, she has contacted some company about a credit life type option on this mortgage. Our mortgage is actually a mortgage with her house as collateral. What she has now, will essentially pay off this mortgage upon proof of her death. Also, we have filed the papers that state that her current house and property goes to us at her death. We are trying to get it all taken care of so we don't have to go through an attorney. Bank accounts are already ITF (in trust for) hubby and myself with 2 others, one for each of the kids. Her property in another part of Florida will be sold at her death and the money to be deposited into the accounts for us. (that's 500 acres of prime citrus groves)

the doctor doesn't think she will last much more than 5-8 years. then, my mother, who is actually sicker, was told by her doctor, since her blood levels have evened out, she has at least another 10 years. Never know there.

MIL is 76 and mother is 72.
