Howdy Elle: You will be glad you took my advice and came here.
Elle is great, caring for her mom and even agreed to move here to Texas to give her mom a chance to be close to the only other member of the family, Elles brother and his kids.
Elle gets overpowered by her moms needs, and I knew she would find lots of advice, and support here.

Thank you Jeannine,
Yes Jeannine is my friend, we met through this wonderful world of internet.. She has done alot for me.. She don't know it but she has been alot of support for me..

Getting back to my mom, she does demands alot of my time, 24/7. I have to be on the alert to her every need. If I am asleep, there is my husband who almost always hears her.. Then there's my Shelby, (my dog) she loves mom so, and mom loves her. They are inseparable. Shelby is always at her side..

I go out only when mom falls asleep, I know I have about an hour.. She takes pills just about every 4 or 5 hours for something or other. From her heart to her thyroid, or pressure, and I have to remember to give her the right pills.

Then I have this dog next door, oh please don't get me started on him!!

Well, that's all I have for now..
Thanks for having me..

I see that my SO has posted a comment concerning Partying and Dancing (Sharon_FL). She is good at partying and dancing. Some of you may know that. LOL

Hi, I'm new here :) - (and have a couple of questions)

I have pavers with no sand problem and I like them a *lot*...much more than concrete and there wasn't a great price differential...Shop around pricing-wise. I purchased the pavers at Ackerstone in Corona (just north of Riverside, if I'm not mistaken)where they sell overruns to the public at greatly reduced rates on Friday morings (other than that, they only sell to contractors). I had my landscaper install them. I ended up sealing them a year after they were installed. I didn't have sand problems either before or after they were sealed. My only regret is that I should have gone with a lighter color as they get hot (less so than similarly-colored concrete, but more than my light cantera coping).

Hi I'm new here and need some granite help!
Q

I had VG in my last house and loved it! It went nicely with my cherry cabinetry and didn't show crumbs or anything at all!! We have since moved and my new neighbor has NVG (slightly lighter than the original VG) on cream cabinets and it looks wonderful with that combo too, so I agree that it's a very versatile granite that looks good with lots of different cabinet colors. Since you might eventually paint your cabinets in the future, I would stick with the NVG which might look better with painted cabinets, especially if you are thinking about cream. Also, the darker the granite, the more dust it shows. At least that has been my experience, so the NVG is a great middle ground and won't be a headache with showing stuff the way a darker granite might. Good luck!

Hi Elle! :) I hadn't found this post yet and started a constipation thread after I read your comment about your mother's problem. Hope we can help you. How wonderful that you and Jeannine "met"! Caregiving 24/7 is extremely exhausting; many of us know what that's like... Shelby sounds like a super dog and a blessing for your mother. What's with the dog next door? :) ~breezy
