[QUOTE="LoveMyDuke, post: 314074"] Thanks to all of you for the support. I didn't think of wireless hotspots, but that's a good idea. I just worry leaving Duke here with them. Last I heard when I left my room to let Duke out, Brandon was happily playing videogames. Nice reinforcement for those behaviors, huh. Oh well. Why do I even care? MWMom you nailed it on the head...this kid won't be in my life forever. I need to keep reminding myself of that. Also, no, I didn't get an email! I would have remembered that and responded. I will try PM'ing you my email address again. GoingNorth--Ditto, I will PM you, as well. It really does make me feel better knowing there are people around me...even a couple hours away...who "get" all this madness and actually care. Good news is that I found a reasonably priced storage locker nearby and will start taking things to it. Everything I own is here...and a lot of it is extremely sentimental, like things from my childhood, parents/grandparents and Ashley/Tim. I cannot leave those things behind. Fortunately, Dave's perpetual state of oblivion will serve me well for that purpose. He will never notice the occasional box leaving the basement. Even if he did, I could easily say it was "family stuff" and my sister wanted it...he would never question this. Even dishes and household items are things I can easily move out....as long as his own stuff is still here he'll never notice that my coffee cups and silverware aren't in the cabinets anymore. And even if he did, I would fall back again on my sister. She is going through some rough financial times and I would just say she needed some household things. Again--he doesn't dig below the surface so he would never question this. So anyway, I do have a plan. It's just not going to happen overnight. Thanks to all of you for being a shoulder. [/QUOTE]
