black,
I still can do long drives, but I much prefer to find a way to stop along the way and enjoy something local. Sometimes the clock just says got to get there.

OK, today should be interesting. A group of HAI people are marching in the Boston Pride parade. Since I went to the Level one workshop with HAI I thought I'd join the parade. We will be giving out hugz to anyone who wants one, but along the parade route and thru the afternoon in downtown Boston. Will be interesting if I get to express my faith in Jesus to some one today.

.....I'm too old to do that anymore.

Naw, you are still young!!!

 

[Bridgit]

I love a woman who takes the initiative to meet someone she is interested in.

I've been on dating sites since the Middle of Feb. Not one woman has contacted me yet. Oh well!

I hope it's not an expensive site.

Something is wrong with my knee too, an old injury or arthritis probably. I hope yours doesn't get worse. I worry about that too.

You got to drink some Joint Juice!!!

 

[dayhiker]

Hope its a free site. I much prefer a few ads over paying a membership fee! Once ni a while I'll pay a membership fee. But not usually a dating site. I've seen too much manipulating going on in the past.

I hope it's not an expensive site.

I was wondering if that's why you haven't been around! Glad to hear from you and I hope you have a safe trip and a great adventure!

Time to get some gas and mow the lawn.

Gonna spend my weekend getting my Vitamin D at the local water park since my wonderful son got me a season pass for it.

That sounds like a great place to hang out. Don't get a sun burn!

Went Saturday. Did not get sunburnt but I was peeling all over! WHY? IDK. Had the most absolutely crappy weekend because Friday night my older son got mad at his friend that is living with us, because he (my son) sold the friends music equip a few months ago, and now that friend wants his money. So he got mad and wanted me to kick said friend out. I told him I did not feel comfortable kicking him out because I am trying to help him get on his feet and he really didn't do anything wrong. My son thinks that since the friend isn't paying rent he should not have asked my son for the money. But my son is living there for free too, and one thing doesn't have anything to do with the other IMO. So then my son got mad at me and said thru text FandU I'm moving out. And he hasn't been home since. I texted him and tried to call him but he won't answer. After a few texts he finally texted me back that he is driving north and will not be going to his dentist appt this morning. That's it! I don't understand why he is directing his anger at me. Oh and also last night he broke up with his GF. I don't know if he quit his job or ??? I also don't know what God wants me to get out of this or if this lesson is for my son but it sure does hurt either way.

This is very tough. I am sorry you are going through this. Many teenagers and young adults are self-centered. Their attitudes are: "It's either my way or the highway!" I've been through these harsh moments with my teens. Don't back down but give your son some space (I know, easy to say) and whenever he decides to talk to you again, reassure him that your love for him has not changed. It's obvious for us, but not for our kids. Get strength and courage from Him who is faithful in comforting us. I'll keep you and your son in my prayers.

My step daughter talked him into going to her house in Oklahoma, so for the time being at least he is with family that will try to talk some sense into him. He did text me last night to let me know he was safe and had made it to her house. Today he texted me that they were going to have lunch and talk about his plans so....and when I text him I just tell him how much I love him and no matter if I disagree I will still love him so he is coming around. I think he didn't want to tell me he was leaving because he knew I would not agree and probably why he was avoiding me too. His dog is dying and his girlfriend just broke up with him, I talked to our room mate and he told me she broke up with him and he was begging her not to according to the text my son sent to him so....and he has held a job consistently for 2 years with no gaps so he probably did need to get away. Especially since he hopefully will be going to college for the next 4 years. I hope he will still go. He has a full ride, but I can't make him go.

 

[Bridgit]

These are good news. It's great that he communicates with you. Also, he is safe staying with the family. Praise God!

 

[dayhiker]

Hi Michelle,
My first thought was that your son's idealism was keeping him from seeing your point of view. I agree with the way you look at tho.
Sounds like he has a lot on his plate and isn't quite sure how to deal with it to me. Hopefully the new situation in Oklahoma health and think it thru and he will be fine.

 

[memoriesbymichelle]

Got a text from him last night that he will be heading home today. Got a text this morning from my step daughter that he is on his way home. Ironically he told her he was kinda homesick and missed AZ. She feels confident that he WILL still attend college in the fall. So I guess going to OK was good for him, and all the time he has had and will have by himself from then til he gets home will probably be good for him too.
I guess he didn't quit his job either, he got someone to cover his shift so...he plans on going back to work Friday. ALL good news, right? PRAISE THE LORD!
