[QUOTE="Lil, post: 673521, member: 17309"] Very true. This Thanksgiving has been a bit "trying" so far. I burned the pecan pie. I'm out of yeast, so we'll need to pick up rolls. I'm trying to get the turkey in the oven and can't find the big roaster. That's because it's under the sink...to catch a drip...that we found months ago and forgot about. :( So Jabber has been under there pulling up the peel and stick tile we put down to make it easier to clean, which had the effect of holding the water between it and the wood. Double :( Needless to say, I've been in a royally pissy mood after that. But none of this is important. So my pie is too brown/black. I can't make homemade bread???? There are people out there today who have no food at ALL! I have a water leak? There are people who haven't got a sink to leak, don't even have clean water, let alone running water! Instead of getting in a mood, I should be grateful for everything we DO have. I have Jabber - the love of my life. I have a son who, it appears, may be coming around. Yesterday he and the girlfriend met with a landlord who, not only is willing to let them pay a little extra when they have it to get the deposit paid, but will basically let them move in this weekend if they have the rent. The place is three blocks from the main bus terminal, has a little deck, and they pay water/sewer and trash. The landlord went on and on about how "she trusts people, probably more than she should, and likes to give people a chance." She even told them she's a social worker and that she knows of a program that helps people get cars! But I don't think she's a push-over. She also pointed out that their neighbor has a baby and two jobs and walks to the store - miles away and that she, at 62, still works for a living and expects people to do what they say they'll do. Yeah, I totally wasn't planning on going on about him on this thread. :) I just wanted to point out that you have reminded me of what's important... and that's to take things one at a time and always be thankful. I'm grateful for all of you! Happy Thanksgiving! [/QUOTE]
