Where are you?


Are any of you Mods experiencing problems with the forum? One thing that is really bugging me is the "mark forums as read" button at the bottom of the forum doesn't seem to be workiing for me. It just won't clear off the posts as read no matter how many times I click it, so each time I return the number of posts I search gets bigger and bigger.

I haven't been on or much help for several months now,due to life problems,also. My mom has been doing really bad, in and out of hospitals. Trying to deal with issues with my adult disabled son that lives with us. And most recently, my mother-in-law had a massive stroke and now Hospice is at her house.

Hubbys" work is on and off, so I have been at the EBay thing hot and heavy for months now. I haven't forgotten this forum or the people here. Hopefully things will settle down some and I can get back.

Thanks to all of you whop have kept it going!!..karen:D

Evenin' Karen -

I feel your pain and frustration. Really, I do. I find myself in much the same situation, these days.

I believe I've mentioned previously that I haven't seen either of my folks in better than two decades, but that I was hoping to make the trip down south to tell'em I loved them before too much longer. Well... I found out by accident a couple of weeks ago that my father passed away last November, at the age of 78. That's part of where I've been the last few months, learning to cope with that. Still haven't made the trip, but that's coming as soon as the roads are clear enough for the bike.

The other part of where I've been concerns Roland, my 5-year-old son. He'd been having troubles 'connecting' with his kindergarten work, on top of other signs like limited speech and behavioral issues. He was diagnosed as autistic on December 16th.

There's more, but you get the drift... I'm still sizing up how I feel at present. I think 'heartbroken' is too mild a term.

Please don't think I'm writing this to bum you out further. That's not it at all. But cherish every moment you have left with your loved ones. Celebrate them for who they are, rather than dwell on the negative. And above all else, be there for them.

Just don't forget that you have family here, as well. If there's anything I can do to help, you know how to find me. Or if you just want somebody to talk/vent to.

Anybody that knows me, knows I'm not a prayin' man. But the next time I talk to the Gods, I'll put in a word for you. Meanwhile, give your momma a hug for me.




Charley. My dad.




Roland. My best friend.

Thanks Frog, Bea and Paul!! We are doing find for now, and that is all that matters, is the now.

There are always going to be "life" problems, I just learn to do something about them,if I can, or try not to worry over those I have no control. Sometimes easier said than done! For years I ran away from taking responsibliity for my actions, but found out they catch up with you and that it is easier to deal with them now than later!!!

Thanks to all of you for your support, that is what makes this forum a great place!!..karen

Oh Unc, what a beautiful post! I saw the resemblance as well, and I loved Roland sitting with his pumpkin in the middle of a Vermont fall, which I miss dearly. (I grew up there and remember it fondly...from the big city that starts with a B and is on the Lake. You get my drift...)
Bossy, stay strong! We are sending lots of positive vibes your way.

Unk-sorry, i am now reading your post--been busy--mom with pneumonia,etc. I am SO sorry to hear about your dad. You and your family are in my prayers. I lost my dad when he just turned fifty and most of my realtives shortly after,so I know how important family is. I count all of you as family here, and although I haven't been much of a help in months, I am hoping to be able to get back here and down to business!

Your son,as well, is in my prayers. My son married a girl with a couple of kids almsot 2 years ago, they had been together a couple of years before that, so I got to know the kids pretty well. I became "grandma" to them, which is a delight. The little girl,age 10, has had trouble for a number of years. Many missed diagnosis later, they found out that she has Asbergers(Sp) which is a form of autism. They do have therapies for children with autism and they help. But I do know your frustration,worry,etc, that you are going through.I am here if you want to talk.
The worry we do for our children,granchildren, sometimes weighs heavy on our hearts because we want them to be happy,healthy and happy. I am here for you.


Again, thank all of you for being here when I,or anyone, needs you. I have no family,other than a brother and mom and a couple of distant cousins left, so you all make it easier when I can come here and talk or vent!!...KAren:)

Thanks Shazz, Jason and all of you for your thoughts and prayers, it means alot to me. My mother-in-law is getting worse. I don't think she really knows who we are. If you ask her she says yes, but she can't name names.

We have already made funeral arrangements and it is just a waiting game at this point. My mom has been sick again, she,too, won't ever get better, but just holds her own.

I am doing ok, have alot of faith, friends and support. I just do what needs to be done and move on. My son that is disabled is doing pretty good through all of this,he gives me alot of faith and support also.

Unc, you are in my prayers, as well as all of you and your families. I really do promise that some day I will get to spend more time here!!!:D..God Bless you all...karen
