Then home for 2 students and after that I can crash.

I used to take my vehicle to the dealership to get fixed, until one time they charged me $65 because of a "brake issue" -- the e-brake light kept coming on. I thought "wow, that was cheap!" until I got home and was shown by my mechanic neighbour that brake fluid costs $3 a bottle and to put it in, you unscrew a cap, pour, then rescrew the cap. $65 wasn't so cheap after all!<BR/><BR/>I know this isn't important what with the other issues in your post, but when you pile stress on top of stress, you can get overwhelmed.<BR/><BR/>JamieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14919964.post-3638615231007800822008-04-30T21:16:00.001-07:002008-04-30T21:16:00.001-07:00That is tough Leslie, take and pamper yourself, I ...That is tough Leslie, take and pamper yourself, I have something for you, (Psycho sent it to me)..she knows just the best poetry:<BR/><BR/>Exposed on the cliffs of the heart.

It's still cheaper to keep it maintained. <BR/><BR/>And my friends and I (and I guess you, too) are all in that generation where we're losing our parents now. My good friend here just lost her Dad on Monday evening after losing her Mom a bit over a year ago. So I know what both of these good friends are going through. I could have cried today watching my friend talk to her mother as though her mother really knew her and understood what she was saying. My friend was talking about getting her up and taking her for a drive one day soon and was even going to put more pictures up on the walls of her Mom's room. *sigh* I hope my friend will be okay when the time comes.Leslie:https://www.blogger.com/profile/11964698251137788839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14919964.post-75192854503039127952008-04-30T20:17:00.000-07:002008-04-30T20:17:00.000-07:00Oh, Leslie, I know how hard that is!

My mother in law is in such denial about the fact that my fil is dying. God bless your friend and you!
