It's a lot easier to make poor choices if you know someone will rescue you. I still think the only help you should offer your brother is teaching him to manage things better. Digging yourself out of holes teaches you to avoid them in the future.

Your decision to help your daughter makes sense. You feel like she's beginning to act like an adult and you want to encourage that. I would still make them pay rent, but you could have it be by putting money into a college fund for the baby. Even if it's only $10 a month, they'll be aware that what you are doing is nice, not an obligation.

Here I go again agreeing--but this is such excellent advice!

Not feeling well today While I was out I bought some Pacific chicken broth and I'm going to use that as a shortcut to have some homemade chicken soup later. Will add me own veggies and chicken

[jerseyangel]

Ahh! I just plussed everyone! Feel a strange need for a cigarette!

We're all gonna be so popular, we won't be able to stand ourselves!

Think I'll do a little plussing meselph.....

[Darn210]

Take the class. It's not like you've had a carefree life and this is just one more foolish indulgence - you have earned this.

Couldn't agree more!!!

Dang, she's good!!!

Tis quite a pleasure actually. You can do it alone, or with someone special near you. Try putting on some music you really enjoy. Maybe light a few candles, and then, just........go for it! You'll be so happy when you achieved excellence! You'll want to do it over and over again! Just don't forget the pleasures of plussing other people. We all need variety, after all.

. . . and don't forget the golden rule:

Plus unto others as you would have them plus unto you.

[jerseyangel]

Plus unto others as you would have them plus unto you.

Words to live by

This is true. . . . . . .... .but I just dunno if I would be comfortable plussing a complete stranger.... . .someone outside the confines of Psillyville. Perhaps this is something I just need to do, to broaden my horizons, generate more self-confidence. . . . .....

Okay... . .I'm goin' in. . . . . ...gonna head out and stealthily PLUS a phorum member who is a complete stranger... . ....... ..

I may need back-up. . . . . . . ...

[elye]

OKAY!! I PLUSSED A COMPLETE STRANGER!

Emmy's gone mad with plussing! And I thought you could just go blind...

[Darn210]

Too much plussing? . . . take it easy PatTea . . . enjoy your soup and get some rest.

OKAY!! I PLUSSED A COMPLETE STRANGER!

You Wild Thang!!!

Em's anonymous plussing.

My niece (not mentioned previously) just got a degree in Latin and Italian. But even better, she just passed bartending school! Which one do you think will actually support her? May have to invite her to KC to demonstrate her education. She can give all the drinks Latin names.

[curlyfries]

Thanks everyone for the support.

I know..... I'm too much of a softee. But truth be told......I've turned down my brother many times. When he lost his apartment he needed help moving all his furniture into storage....from a second story apartment. He knows I have fibro. And my husband, with one leg, has enough trouble with stairs as it is. There was no way. A couple months later he told me he almost committed suicide that day. Talk about a guilt trip!

.. . ..I plussed him and I didn't even see his face. . . . . . ....

....or his thumbs!

[elye]

OMG.. ... . .... . ... ..now, is it possible for the Plussee to view who the Plusser is?? Mygawd, he cannot know that it was me. .......how embarrassing. This would take away the whole mystery, the entire magic of it being some sudden, crazed action by a fellow member ... . ....

Do y'all think I may regret this in the morning??

Now, divulging who I've anonymously plussed seems somehow........ . ..just wrong. I have NEVER been a girl to plus and tell. . . ... . ....

Alright young lady! I think you've had way too much fun for one day! Time to come in and settle down.

Who was supposed to be watching Em, anyway?

Wasn't my day! I had Monday and she behaved perfectly.

Jeeze--ya turn yer head fer one second.....

[celiac-mommy]

Soooo sleepy! Took full advantage of the one sunny day we've had in weeks. I'm too tired to get up and make dinner for my kids. Would probably just do a cereal night if dd didn't have a friend over It was a great day and my first modeling chocolate rose didn't turn out half bad--not picture quality yet, but maybe tomorrow

My DD has one there....cat's eyes and whiskers. I know she said it was more sensitive because there's no fatty tissue there, but I don't know the extent of the pain.

I got an airbrushed one today for 3$. It's scented and everything Thought I'd try it out and see if I still like it in a week....I really want to get the Celtic love knot. It's lovely and meaningful--that's what I've been searching for for years!!

Then today my brother calls. He mentions how little money he has but doesn't actually ask for any, and I'm not going to offer if he doesn't have the balls to ask.

And I don't want to give up my chance at this class.

So now I feel guilty. I don't want to feel guilty, but I do.

I know it's been said over and over, but take the class!!! Went through some similar stuff with my brother too, he was living with us temporarily while he was "getting back on his feet" but he actually started stealing money from me AND my kids to support his heroin habit. It was devastating! I kicked him out and he went AWOL for months. My mom finally tracked him down and I ended up leaving home for a few days to help detox him. I told his this was the last help of any kind he would ever get from me unless he cleaned himself up for good and he'd NEVER see another dime from me no matter what. He was 2 years clean last week

OKAY!! I PLUSSED A COMPLETE STRANGER!

I made a boo-boo . . . clicked on an innocent link supposedly sent from my BIL . . . nope, some kind of virus/malware thingy . . . hubby had to spend quite a bit of time fixing it. Don't know if anyone has told me BIL that something has taken over his address book. (FIL got it, too)

Thank gawd I did not volunteer to be at all involved in this spring camp up here. Yesterday had intermittent showers, and it's just plain raining today. Sitting in tents with a bunch of thirteen year-old boys, no ipods, DVD players.... . ......just each other.. ....GAH.

M's troop says that moms are welcome at camp or overnight camping trips. However, they tell you that this is a male event and it's not the same with moms around. Moms do not like some of the things like camping with no actual latrines. Making only Ramen noodles and oreos for breakfast. Our group let's them plan food and suffer the consequences.

I'm holding another as yet unphrootphul open house.....

Did I tell ya'll that the wee bird is still making appearances at my bathroom window? He usually shows up in the morning, and pecks on the glass. I stood right there and watched him and it didn't faze him a bit. He's really pretty--light brown wif a bright orange beak.
