ROTFL...great sense of humor there, but Van Dell, I have never gotten that impression from you, just the opposite, in fact.

Sandy,
thank you very much, but please remember the last time
someone spoke to me that nicely I bumped my head on
the doorpost. Both doorposts at the same time.

Bev,
You and Ron are welcome to join our family.
We have friends of my son's living with with us
now
(they had to leave thier family and came to us for
refuge) They are Buddists and I'm sure would like
to
answer any questions that they can.

Well, the weather isn't here yet, but it is
starting
to look like my
hunch was right..this is the forecast now:
Occasional sleet... snow...rain and freezing
rain
after midnight. Snow
and sleet accumulation up to 1 inch. Ice
accumulation around one quarter
of an inch. Lows in the upper 20s. Light and
variable winds. Chance of
precipitation near 100 percent.
Thursday
Occasional rain...freezing rain and sleet in the
morning...then
occasional rain in the afternoon. Sleet
accumulation
up to 1 inch. Total
snow accumulation up to 2 inches. Ice
accumulation
of less than one
quarter of an inch.


So, here we go...and we are very unprepared
compared
to normal. We are
low on wood, only have about a gallon of gas to
run
the generator. We
have been splitting wood like mad-using the gas,
but
the wood we have
doesn't put out the btus (it's poplar and
sweetgum,
not hickory or oak),
and we go through it quickly...I don't think we
will
need to run it, but
you never know, so I guess we will be hitting
the
station this evening
after the rush is over and before the precip
starts.
I really HATE
being unprepared. We have a 200 gallon gas
tank,
which has been full in
previous years, but this has been a rough
financial
year and we just
haven't had the money to fill it. I'm guessing
we
have about a week's
worth of wood. It sucks to be unprepared.
My friend did cancel on me today..it
figures...when
it rains it pours,
so to speak. A couple of you have written to
ask
what kind of 'family
disturbance' I had..lol..I didn't mean be worry
anyone by being cryptic,
sorry. It's basically the SOS, in-law
problems...they hate me, and I
can't change it, they drag up stuff that
happened 20
years ago and I
have long forgotten, but apparently they
haven't.
This latest thing
goes back to something that happened two years
ago,
something that we
have, on my insistence, sat down and hashed out
not
once but twice, and
that I thought it was all water under the
bridge,
after all, it's been
16 months since our last talk(they wanted their
priest there,
even-whatever!-he sided with me..lol), but I
thought
it was all worked
out...we've had several get-togethers without
incident since then, and
no sign of trouble until this week. Out of the
blue, it re-emerges. It
caught us unprepared for conflict. It has been
really hard on Ron, too,
and in fact, his brother wrote him off a couple
of
days ago. It wasn't
said, but basically his family is upset that Ron
has
chosen me over
them,,,that's it in a nutshell. It's really
just
the classic struggle
that I am sure many of you have had to endure
with
your in-laws, but it
does create stress.
Sorry to ramble on...just so you know, this is
what
I am like when I am
feeling sorry for myself..lol..I actually had a
couple of shots of
homemade kahlua a few minutes ago, something I
almost never do...I keep
it onhand just for occassions like this. :)
I'll
sleep good tonight
knowing that I did nothing wrong.

Anyway, a complete change of subject is
warranted...
Is anyone here a Buddhist? If so, I have some
questions about Buddhism
and would like to converse off list.
