that pic lol. Snow really is amazingly beautiful...some of my most cherished memories are walking in the winter.

I say it all the time but I really do wish I had a good camera. I'd take so many pictures of so many things, Nova Scotian snowfalls being one of them.

Someone else who appreciates snow! Pictures never can do it justice, I agree.
I love snow around the Christmas season (Late February I will be singing a different tune LOL). Despite the dangerous road conditions, freezing cold temperatures and storms... there is also something very peaceful about it and I really enjoy that aspect.

I am sooooo excited about Thanksgiving! The madness of preparations and cleaning starts today. So far I have half of the house cleaned....and about to clean the other half. THEN the cooking begins!!! MWAH HAHAHAHA!

I hope all of my fellow Americans are getting excited for the holiday. To everyone else I hope you have a wonderful morning.

Edit: HOUSE IS CLEAN! BAM!

I appreciate your kindness.

My father and I had a very unstable relationship after my parents divorced when I was 13. When my parents had joint custody of me, I was one week at Dad's, one week at Mom's. Rinse and repeat.

My father is an alcoholic who got increasingly abusive. He would yell at me while drunk, set unrealistic standards for me, and say awful things to me such as that I'm mentally unfit and should be put into a mental institution. He had to let me know that I wasn't the son he wanted and that I was a major disappointment in his eyes. Eventually, he practically disowned me via text message. He said I wasn't his son and that my stepfather can have me since I'm mentally unfit to be on my own. My mother insists that this was just the alcohol talking, but as the Roman proverb goes, "In wine, there's truth."

He almost got physical a couple times. After all the verbal and psychological abuse, I decided to live at my mother's house full time. He then started getting abusive towards my sister, and as soon as she left he started getting abusive towards my step siblings. When they left him, his life really starting going downhill.

He's one of the main reasons why I hate alcohol.

I will do so. I was 17 when I left him and now that I'm almost 25, I think it's time to talk to him and try to mend our broken relationship. I doubt I'll ever be close to him as I once was but you are right, I just need to forgive him and forget the past. These past few months I have been gradually letting go of past hurts and this one is going to be a major step towards recovery.

I have faced constant rejection from almost everyone I came into contact with due to my disability, I sure as heck didn't need it from my own family too.

My father was roughly the same though he has touched alcohol for 12 years now. He abused my mother to the point he broke her jaw twice... just to give you a picture, he also attacked me when I was 16....

I forgive him, it wasn't easy and took me a long time but it also healed me. We have a ok relationship now and he see his grandsons

So I understand how this is a big deal for you and how you feel

I also don't believe that drunks tell the truth because there mind is not here own... i think the wine is to do with Jesus not to do with being drunk

I'm very sorry to read all that. It's always sad when parents abuse their children. I also came from a broken home, so I can certainly relate on a child-like level.

You have it right when you said to forgive him. Matthew 6:14

I remember this one night when I was a child. My father was drunk and had his guns out. My mother, sister and I had to flee the house for the night because we feared for our lives.

This healing process for everything has taken me quite a few years. I'm at the point now where I am ready to just face my demons and get it over with. I just can't live like this anymore. BlackRibbon has told me that she feels sad that I have given up on life and have such a cynical view on life.

I just want that to change.

I'm feeling more and more at peace. These past few months being off work due to my dizzy spells have certainly given me some time to reflect on things.

It's not easy, I tell you. Being wronged constantly at every turn, it's difficult. During high school, one class mate told me that he could see me becoming a serial killer because of all the abuse/isolation-induced anger I was building up. I had to contain this anger all my life.

Thankfully, that's all changing for the better. I'm finally learning to forgive.

No, it's not because that is the way of the world, but we as Christians are not for the world even though we still have to live in it. Like you, I've had very harsh situations as well, it was most certainly not easy. Heck, my hair began to turn white (on one side of my head) in my early 20's!

When I look back on my life I can see where Jesus was and working in my life, if I let Him do so. There were times I made a lot of mistakes, but He was still there and still is today. I truly believe He saved my very life, and by that I mean by both regards of spiritual and physical aspects.

One thing I think we've both learned here is that we are free in Christ. He set us free from the bondage of the world.

Called sick from work. Have a cough and a nose thing, hard to work sick when you're in a medical profession.

Still, I feel like Ferris Bueller.

In my house right now, I have access to 47 different whiskies - this includes miniatures too, but that's still pretty impressive. I live in a library of malt, quite literally.

I pretty much cover every region of Scotland, from the Highlands, to the Lowlands, from Campletown, Islay and Speyside, and all of the tiny little surrounding islands like Arran and Jura.

I have a couple of Japanese and Tennessee whiskies, (and a Canadian one somewhere) too, but I'm not really including them in the 47.

So, yeah, I'm either a connoisseur or a raving alcoholic, I haven't decided yet...

Thnak God for Thanksgiving. I could use a break from work this week... I am thinking we will go to Cracker Barrel for lunch, and then curl up on the couch all day.

I made that car when I was a child in cub scouts. My father helped me build it for the pinewood derby. I cut off ties with him seven years ago.

Oh, sorry I mistook the cartoons as you being humorous when you said "he" I assumed you meant the car deserved a chance to race again. I didnt mean any offense.

I pray the two of you can patch up what has been lost. Or you can find peace if he has not changed and need to say farewell.
