[QUOTE="SeaGenieTx, post: 676536, member: 18773"] Hopeful97 - huge THANK YOU! It's been so much easier now that I've been back at work this week and the holidays are over. My son supposedly started a job on Monday. Today he texted me that he needed his social security card and to put it in my mailbox that he would come get it. No please or thank you just a text "Need my social security card can you put it in the mailbox?". Got it, put it in an envelope and put it in the mailbox. Done. Guess that could be a good sign that he is actually working. I don't know. He won't share any information with me and I'm not going to ask. The job he was telling me about was working as a plumber's apprentice. His friend is doing that thru a temp agency and making good money. I hate to say it but I can't see my son doing manual labor at all, if it involves hard work he comes up with a gazillion excuses and whines/complains. Whatever. I'm just taking it day by day. Now I've got this annoying neighbor lady who moved in next to me and won't stop calling me for favors. She is in her 70's and just called me a minute ago asking me if I had a beer can opener. I was like "I just got out of the shower and it's 9:30pm, no I don't have one". She goes "Well then I guess I won't have a glass of (whatever). Sorry lady, I'm not your personal helper. She's called me to come down and help her button the back of her dress (why she couldn't get her friend who was coming to pick her up to do it, not sure), water her plants while she is out of town, gather up her mail if her mailbox gets full.... She texted me at 9:45 on Christmas Eve "Can I use your dryer, would you believe mine stopped working?"... Lady its Christmas Eve! I texted her back no, that I wasn't home.
