[QUOTE="tawnya, post: 177962, member: 55"] Star, sadly the Star Flower went to its great reward. I'm glad to hear the Tawnya Rose is still going strong. I have acres of sweet corn, though. Do you want me to name them after you? LOL Genny, do you want me to call my zucchini and squash after you? Would you rather be a Genny Squash or maybe Genny tomatoes? You are a tomato aren't you? I remember all of that with your difficult child and the boyfriend who almost killed her. Good for her for moving forward. It has been a hard battle. I have been struggling the past few years as a produce farmer. Hard work, little pay, but peace of mind. I have always LOVED gardening. The hardest part is working for six months before you get paid a single nickle. I have a killer tan, though. Of course I have to put up with mother in law, since it is her property that we rent. SIGH... on that one. The reason I came out of lurk mode awhile back is difficult child sister in law. She is 52 yrs. old and MR (I don't know how to say that anymore without offending anyone). She has started hitting my 76 yo mother in law, who is crippled at the knee and hip. It is a disaster. mother in law is trying to get her placed in a group home (which I think sister in law would have LIKED about 20 yrs ago.) It's a mess and no one will do anything about it except say the same things over and over again. husband told me to "stay out of it and he will take care of it." OK Long story short, mother in law is going to get hurt and it is really frustrating. And yes, it is SO much better without difficult child screaming at me from the basement. She is doing well, but know she has time on her hands since she "lost" her job. This is scary because she always gets into trouble when she has time on her hands. At the end of last year, we found out (about two days before she had to be in court) that she had written a bad check and the PIZZA PLACE! was pressing charges. So, husband went with her and it was mostly just fines (that he continues to pay), so she got off relatively easily. Then, ......a second charge identical to the first. Same thing. husband asked her it this was all, and she said yes because she threw the checkbook away! Baby steps. This is not the same boyfriend. She told us that she met him at work, but slipped up later and said that she met him online! That one almost killed me, but he seems like a nice enough guy so far. I don't know if they will go through with the wedding or not, and I am finding that I like not knowing so much. Star, our difficult child is now 26 and just getting going on a "normal life". I never thought in my wildest dreams that we would actually get along now, but it is happening, and I am still in awe. Keep the faith because some days that is all you have! tawnya [/QUOTE]
