As if my spinal problems weren't enough . . .
Comments (20)Colorcrazy, so, a fellow walker-user, and now you've accepted it. Good for you! I haven't reached that point, but it has only been several weeks. I haven't been out side with it by myself. The weather has been too bad for that. My DD takes me every where I need to go. She folds the walker, puts it in the car and off we go. When I can get out, there are sidewalks and roads right outside my door; that will help. I have found that I can get around in the house without it for the most part, but so far I still take it with me and hold on to the furniture, doors, etc, just in case. I have a tray for it which adds a little weight to it so I lift it to turn it around a lot; I call that physical therapy. OT for a minute. I see you live in Arlington. I lived there from about age 7 to 12, when my family moved to Vienna, VA for a couple years, then back to Arlington, where I graduated from W-L. Later, marriage took me and my DH to Richmond, and then to Bristol, but back to Arlington and finally Augusta County. More later, maybe. Linda, from a walker to a quad cane; that sounds very brave. I have a quad that I got when I had my first knee replacement, and used it again for the second knee. A couple years ago I got a regular cane for going out, but used the quad for when I got up in the mornings. I'm thinking about going back to it here in the house, but I don't want to risk anything until after the next scan. I've seen the HuriCane, but haven't tried one. Years ago I had a very elderly friend at the pool who all ways decorated her cane. She was quite a fun lady. I may have to be thinking about decorating mine. Maybe we should organize a KT Group of WalkerWonders? That could be fun. Tomorrow is Girls Day Out, and it is supposed to be nicer weather. Yea! Sue...See MoreIf things weren't bad enough...
Comments (14)I have a question? Would anyone change their opinion on this if it was grandma and not SM? If dad left his kids with his parents during his scheduled time? and if that's okay, why? What if he left the kids with someone else... related or not, would that change anyone's opinion? One of the problems our attorney discussed with us is, when you stray from the written order, it may set precedent. If the order says every other weekend but the CP lets the NCP take the child every other week for an extended period, where the kids become accustom to that, then the courts would not necessarily side with mom if she were to get pissed off at dad and try to cut him back to EOW. He'd stand a better chance of getting the court to give him every other week. Depending on the age of the child, their wishes should be considered as well. If she has developed a close relationship with SM because she has been allowed to visit when dad is away, it is unfair for her to not be allowed to if she wants to spend time there. Likewise, it's wrong for SM to put a guilt trip on the child too. It really sounds as if the child is stuck in the middle and no matter what she chooses to do, one of the 'moms' in her life is going to be unhappy and she'll feel like they will be upset with her. That's a lot of pressure for a kid. Honestly, if it's possible for you and your ex to talk it over... I would try to disregard the first phone call he made when he threatened court and a custody fight and try to start over when you are both calm. He was probably upset because his wife was upset, not a good time for him to call you. This is your child so he should discuss this with you and work it out without his wife. I know it's a lot easier said than done and I don't know if your ex would be willing to discuss it with you, but it's an idea. It sounds like you have been reasonable and giving so I have to assume he was just angry when he called and that for the most part, you get along....See MoreThoughts on a bad contractor and a bad experience
Comments (41)HI Sunshine_31...I'm so sorry you are going through this. My story has evolved and gotten worse. We switched lawyers to a more responsive lawyer who is really is working to help us, unfortunately we are in a really crappy and complex situation. We know for sure they were unlicensed, paid for unlicensed workers, did not get permits (but charged, collected, and provided waivers for permits), collected for items they did not procure, over ordered items that have disappeared from our home (flooring and tile), and did not pass through money from the bank to the subs. The bank is acting shady and has lawyered up. 12K in flooring has to be removed and a new floor needs to be installed. We had to have "special inspections" since the most of the renovations were unpermitted and have to pay $3500 to have the electrical fixed and brought to code (mechanical and plumbing issues are awaiting a quote). I should hear from the AG for Michigan today regarding the case...I'm trying to stay positive, but this is all so wrong....See MoreWere you counted in the census? We weren't.
Comments (39)My husband spent a lengthy amount of time on the phone with a census taker a while ago. I feel like it was in the spring, b/c one of our two college kids had gotten sent home from college when they went remote. There was a lot of confusion as whether he should be counted at home or at school (he was on campus this fall, so I don’t remember but the census taker decided). My husband was then approached much later in our driveway by a census taker, but he was on his way out and told her he had already completed the census. She still had questions. Even after all that, we still continued to get mailings from the census. So to answer your question, I have no idea what happened with our information and whether it was correctly recorded or not....See Morechisue
