often exceptionally fabulous

thank you for the mention and all kidding aside I am always glad to find good friends here too. Sometimes it seems when others let you down, piss you off, expect too much etc. it is a nice place to come to for friendship and no judgement

I understand how you must feel I think but I also think that her emotional blackmail has got to be challenged. Each time you give into it and therefore it works she will be inclined to do it again.

Maybe you should try sitting down with her and telling her that the emotional blackmail is going to stop and that you will refuse to act the next time on principle.

Difficult situation but definitely part of the whole thing is your willingness (or fear) that perpetuates the whole thing and leaves it hanging there in your Mum's mind as a possible course of action which might get her what she wants.

Undeniably a very difficult situation and I'm giving advice very cautiously as it is ultimately you Ricky who knows her best.

Good luck, buddy

I agree. It is not healthy to give or except emotional blackmail as it is never-ending. It is common when family members rescue each other and there is no clear cut boundaries. Ricky if she has rescued you before, it bears to pay that back but it should not be something you are held hostage to forever. Talk to her and other family members and lay down the boundaries.

Missed the mail today because I got home from the doctor too late, don’t think I’m expecting anything though.

Doc says my BP is good, lungs sound good, he can tell I’m not smoking. Actually I went to see him about my shoulder, and he’s going to let me try steroids and PT. He says surgery would be easier and less painful, and having done it I agree, but that would be a hardship for me now. I think I’ve done okay with it, just doing some of the exercises but I don’t think I can make the same progress as I would with the steroids. Start those tomorrow. Also got my first ever flu shot. I haven’t had the flu in 20 years, you watch I’ll get it this winter lol.

I am so heartbroken over your news. I just lost my 12 yo Yorkie 8 weeks ago and it’s so difficult. I find myself sobbing at odd times just out of the blue.

I’m sure you’ve done everything you can for your baby and sometimes it’s out of our hands.

Thank you, beautiful poem. Hugs!

Edited because it sounded hard hearted. I knew I would find some comforting words here. I’ve crossed out of some deep grief lagoon now and I think I can do the things I need to be doing for her. Thank you for listening.

where are the sales???

Generally with fasttech the Map code only applies to certain pre-selected items. .

perhaps someone can point you to the sales page for the full range of what they have on sale right now .

Morning shinies



I'm in NZ, so it's not about stocking up for me. My reason is when I find something I love using - I want multiples so I can have it on more than just 1 mod (mainly because I keep buying more mods ) And more sensibly, it's about buying it before it gets discontinued



I'm sorry you have to go through this

I just buy mods/RDA's when Ange posts pics... lol

 

[Blitzdonlife]

Nope, laughing cuz mine's bigger!

I remember doing maintenance in a barracks once. We walked in and there it was... I thought to myself 'I didn't know they make those with blown glass!' Lmao

Well I wouldn’t say she really rescued me. She just raised me as a single parent and always did her best and made sure we had everything we needed /wanted for years. Now that’s what she brings up when she guilt trips me. She seems to block out a lot of stuff too. As a kid I would try to cheer her up because she was always depressed and just talking about how she wants to die. I would always try to make her happy In anyway possible. I started working when I was 14 and have always helped with money since . But it got worse over the years when my sister got her own place and my dad died so she stopped getting spousal support.

Shhhh this is only between us lot here....
I hear good things about the Ulton TRIPOD 22mm RTA.
Two reviewers said it's the best RTA they've used. (@Labubs and Jay Haze). Now that's a statement. Needless to say mine is ordered.
(2Fdeal has the best price)

 

[AngeNZ]

My FT turkey10 order has already shipped - and I did try the code MAP and TURKEY10 but it would only take one or the other damnit!
