Good Morning Trippy Nation. I am stuck in limbo-land right now and can't buy anything. Apparently when I bought my computer y data got jacked, to the tune of 1500.00 more charges out of a Best buy in MN. Hm... maybe the arab tradition of removing the right hand isn't so bad after all, although I am thinking of a different part of their anatomy....

And I am off today, using up some of the comp time from having to sub for other classes :facepalm: It's nice to have the day, but I'd rather have had my planning periods during the school year.

I have been working all night (yep, no rest for the wicked) on this wreck of a kitchen. Everything I pulled out of my computer hutch littered the counters and the old computer and monitor are boxed and ready for storage if the cats will let me have a little of their room. Don't you sometimes wish you could have movers just come put everything out in the yard and you choose what goes back in and they leave with the rest? All I really need is my computer, liquor cabinet, something to sleep on, and a few litter boxes. Yeah hey -- this is going to be the summer to try to train the cats to use the commode. Six cats use a LOT of litter!

Stinkers! At least best buy in Minnesota has security cameras and is in the United States! I would say that there is actually a decent chance of catching whoever did this.

I am sending hugs to my Tripsters today, but especially you, Amber. This is a hard, hard thing you are going through for your mother. It's not easy to give permission to someone you love, especially a parent, to say, "I've had enough, let me go". I am sorry you are having to go through this and will pray for your strength to hold up. Hospice has excellent staff that can help both you and your mama get to the place you need to be, mentally, in order to accept this challenge. My thoughts are with you, my heart is with you.

All I know is that it wasn't signature based sales. I know I had to show my i.d. when I went to pick up my computer so surely they couldn't have done it that way. Purchasing online means they have to have it mailed to them in some way... But you're right, it does stink. Thank heaven it didn't happen end month when it is time pay all the bills!

Thanks for the support everyone. Sometimes, when I'm in her house, I like to sit in her chair and close my eyes and remember how she was when she was healthy. Cooking in the kitchen with the radio blaring. She loved to cook, even wanted to open her own restaurant. But when I open my eyes I see the shell of what is left. She can't cook, can't feed herself, and she just looks so tired. I understand that she doesnt want to live this way, and its selfish of me to ask that she sticks it out when it gets to the worst. Truth is, it wouldn't benefit any of us. Watching it, would be no better than living it. So I've made my peace.

chances that they'll be caught are slim these people ship the merchandise to drops (Mail boxes setup up in fake names or to homes where no one lives and just watch for items to be delivered and then grab them off the doorstep:( ) just a couple of the methods used. I know this cuz I was once 1 of these degenerates unfortunately and only got caught because an associate got in trouble for something unrelated and gave me up to get out of trouble himself and I actually thank God that happened because now I live a hard working honest life that I'm very proud of and GUILT free (I paid my debt and did the time)and not sure if I would've ever stopped otherwise.

Amber, I feel your pain. My mother recently passed away. Luckily, it was quick and painless and we didn't have to worry about her DNR. That said, we all have DNRs as far as I'm aware. My grandfather had a stroke in 1987 that left him paralyzed, unable to write and unable to speak except in grunts. He existed for 9 years after that (I can't really say he lived). After that, none of us wished to have to go through that. In fact, my mother made me swear that if that happened to her, I would leave a pistol where she could get hold of it. We didn't dare discuss what she wanted to happen if she couldn't hold it.
