[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 136503, member: 1697"] susiestar- yeah, I had to give up contacts a few years ago. LOL, Ihad not worn them long, so was not really used to them or anything, but....I am nervous becuz there has been some loss of some vision, so....it creeps me out a little. dr gave me an oral medication, but, after reading about it, I decided to wait till I see opthamologist. husband has an appointment today....but he is at the moment giving me some difficulty about going. Usually his docs response is simply "well, these things happen, you know he will cycle" husband is already in day treatment.....It is possible there could be odor- we have our waste water treatment plant here on our block as well, 2 doors down. Now THAT does smell....and could possibly cover up any meth lab smell? I just cannot imagine how it could have already had 2 fires in a year that WERE called arson and still have yet one more, now? Altho, maybe rivals did it? I dunno. Daisylover- that sounds awful! as a teen and in my early 20s, I lived in a place like that, but I did not have kids. Our house is in what was once a nice neighborhood....sadly with economy how it is and all- doubtful we could sell, our mortgage is um...prolly right there with house value etc....and our maintanance on our house has not been good due to money and my illness... I doubt we can live on base. or use base houseing.....not sure that neighborhood immediately off base is any better. Seems nowhere is very safe, really, even when it seems safe, things seem to happen? I joined this police dept thing, and me and difficult child go there and it always has us leaving shaking our heads, becuz the other citizens there are kinda weird. They do not seem to live in the real world, and are really stuck on parking violations and if a serious issue is brought up- it is whitewashed, subject changed....something. We were there this week and when we left, we had had a presentation by a detective. difficult child was horrified becuz the detective stood there and said he lies to suspects, lies to victims, does whatever he has to do to appease everyone and he does not even care if charges can or will stick in court.

It is rather ironic we moved here 20 years ago from chicago to try to escape the corruption and violence in chicago. Well, it is a new day, time for me to get moving and make the best of things best I can. :-) [/QUOTE]
