Actually its my indoor one :/ This will be the last time I buy a coconut palm and not inspect it better. I thought those ones just had normal damage from being inside too long so I thought I would save them. But they ended up dying and infecting my other one... Go figure. I bet they probably watered over head too often. I have no clue how long they were there. If this palm survives its pretty tough.Its getting attacked by different angles. Doens't help that my southern windows have shade cloth to keep light out. And then I discovered ants farming palm aphids and they were infested badly near the newest spear and fronds. I mean the fronds and spears were so badly infested they were almost completely covered with aphids. And for a while soapy water wouldn't kill them. I ended up wiping off most of them then spraying with more concentrated dish soap and water. I wouldn't be surprised if thats how the fungus was introduced and re-introduced to my indoor palm. Temps in my house are kept near 68f but drop to about 64f or colder at night. I havn't watered since Nov. I need to water again. How often do you water yours while its inside? Anyway the one outside I already knew was gonna die. Its still alive somehow but really all the fronds are dead. only thing alive is the stems and small parts of the newest frond. - US_Marine

Actually, I think your tiles look great. And I am really particular about things. As said, it is just the grey with the blue, they are too close in colour so they seem as though they are supposed to match and do not. Just go to another paint colour. For example, greys and palest yellows with white trim look fantastic. This isn't a bathroom but look how great the colours are: http://yournestdesign.blogspot.ca/2010/08/exploring-color-aganthus-green-benjamin.html Lots of choices. I painted a room in Benjamin Moore Weston Flax (at 50% lighter) and it came out very well, like the palest shade of butter (like a palest butter with a cream undertone). or look at this: http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-ca/for-your-home/rooms-by-colour/warm-and-cozy-yellow-living-room or http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-ca/for-your-home/rooms-by-colour/classic-yellow-living-room-with-a-twist Since it is a small room, I would suggest cutting the colour by 50% so that it would be really soft. ------------------- Or.... I had a bathroom with tiles in a design like yours and painted the walls in the palest pearl grey - almost an off white (be careful not to get a grey that turns blue or green). And they I added white accents (towels, mat) with some art with white and a bit of colour. When we sold the house the new owners really liked the room. Wait until you see it with another paint colour and your rich wood vanity. Your bathroom will be fine, I am sure. Post a photo and show us the success! Radley

I think the question as to whether or not they KILLED the puppy (as it appears they did) is a bit of a red herring. Let's assume for a moment they didn't kill the puppy and that an innocent animal didn't really make that horrible yelping noise as it plunged to its death. Even if they didn't throw a live dog off the cliff, there's also this: These guys thought it was REALLY funny to make a video that was horrifying and graphic and to make it look like they had killed an animal. Oh yeah, what a stitch. Here is a link that might be useful: CNN Story with some images from the original video

Thanks everyone for your support. I know I need to leave but I suppose I've always been a sucker to help people. Amber - Thank you for your words. You are right, the only person I can save is myself. I suppose the battle is really working up the courage to say enough is enough. I struggle because I hate hurting people or feeling like I am letting them down but in the same regard I suppose by me doing things for my partner, he will never do anything to help himself or his son. Colleenoz - thank you for your kind words. I never thought about it like the way you put it. Seeing that he could turn like that if something bad happened to me is some what alarming. Because when I think of the answer to something happening to me and would he be there, I can't answer that. And if I can't answer that, then there is a real big problem. LaVerne - Thank you for your comment. Do I want to change? Yes i really do, so I guess I know what I have to do. Reading Lady - Sadly this situation is real, it would be nice if I was making it up but unfortunately I am not. I know everyone on his mother's side has bi-polar and basically have lived their lives in and out of either jails or foster homes. Sometimes I think the cycle can be broken but in the same regards, it's not my responsibility to have hero complex (i.e. trying to save everyone). Let me just say this, I know that none of you know me from a bar of soap, which in turn makes you more truthful. I appreciate your honesty and i thank you for your wisdom. I know everyone goes through hard stages in life, but you are right. If I am not happy with the situation, then only I can change it. I think it's time for me to worry about myself and get back what I want. If I succeed (and I truly hope I do) than please know every little word by each of you contributed to giving me strength. You all really have no idea how much you have put my mind, heart and bank balance at rest.
