[QUOTE="200Meters, post: 756309, member: 23727"] Given that many government employees are now working from home, I also emailed the Prisoner Rehabilitation Authority. Oldest is also on our minds. Oldest and his Ladyfriend are really not making any forward progress. We and Ladyfriend's family (Mom and brothers) have been helping them very substantially. Mrs. 200Meters & I have been paying their rent, utilities and local rate (property tax). Their current rental contract expires in July and we simply cannot afford to continue the current arrangement. The idea was that Oldest & Ladyfriend would work & send us money to cover some of their expenses. That has never materialized. Oldest seems to be chronically unable to either find and / or hold a job. Bad luck seems to follow him. To be honest, some of his employment troubles are not of his own making. He had one good job at a [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourekas'][U]bourekas[/U][/URL] and [URL='https://www.tabletmag.com/jewish-life-and-religion/261986/sambusak-for-shavuot'][U]sambusak[/U][/URL] bakery but then the owner sold the place and the new owner brought in new workers. Then he found a job at a juice bar but that lasted one day after he had the nerve to make a particular customer's drink request to order, which the owner did not like. But even when he was working, we never saw any money. His appetites far exceed the condition of his teeth, figuratively speaking. And then there was the mater of our pilfered credit card numbers. Well, the coal car is about to be unhitched from the gravy train, permanently. As I said, Mrs. 200Meters simply cannot afford it any more. We are tentatively planning to go see them this coming Shabbat (the Sabbath, from sunset Friday to nightfall Saturday). This will be a hard visit. Mrs. 200Meters & I simply cannot pretend anymore that everything will work out and that it will all be OK. Everything may work out & it just might all turn out OK but Mrs. 200Meters and I can no longer afford to subsidize the wait. What I am trying to steel myself against is the realization that we have two crushing disappointments (I hesitate to use the word "failures" but I am really tempted to) as sons. What the eff happened to our dreams way back when we were just thinking about starting a family? How did they go so sour? [/QUOTE]
