    Wasn’t that about the time we found out Rosie Grier did needlepoint for entertainment? (Needed time to catch on, I think.)

    James is viewed as being a nuisance. If Michael or Elizabeth tracked dust all over the house, it would probably be seen as cute.

    This is really sounding like a toxic relationship. At least Lynn can show some humor in it, so there is hope for those facing such things in their own lives.

    The Need to be Useful lies within all of us, its just much deeper in some than others.

    When the tornado hit the house I figured I could just wash the sheets and towels. The insurance inspector AND my mother both said NO. The insulation fibers would embed into the cloth. I am a very honest person, so when the inspector was here I was worried about the bed. The bottom part had gotten rained on, but the mattresses were almost 14 years old anyways. He said the age didn’t matter. What did was they were no longer safe to use. The way my policy is written items are insured at the cost of placing them today, not the original purchase price. The tornado was in 2011 and I still occasionally find insulation. The stuff is as bad as needles from FAKE Christmas trees and Easter grass.

    Definitely way past time for Mom and Dad to head home.Even if you have to send them home via FedEx.
