Hi Folks!

For those who asked: just because I've been posting to the groups more frequently does not mean that they are up and running again. There's a tremendous difference between me sending a post or two through on days able, and spending a few hours every day reading/approving posts from members (in conjunction with submitting such a wide array of articles and links to the groups). Sorry!

 

I have a very busy schedule presently and, as many know, I have been battling a repair program for quite some time now in an effort to get some vital repairs done. I am awaiting aid regarding this matter from government agencies. I, naturally, don't wield the power to make any such agencies "hurry up."

 

Just as I lacked the power, no matter how many times I contacted my Uncle about this matter over the years, to make him do something about it despite him being a member of law enforcement (at least he was. I wouldn't know what he does anymore because I've read no e-mails from him since he wrote in one, to encapsulate, that he had "no suggestions" for me). This is what law enforcement is for (to help people in certain predicaments), but apparently his notion of duty differs from that of others. 

 

Other family members, over the years, have given me absolutely horrible advice no matter what the area of concern - all the while professing how much they "care about (me)" and that they say such things "for (my) own good" (direct quotes) - as alcoholics, drug addicts, dysfunctional, and/or abusive people often do. So I am remedying this dilemma without asking for their "help" anymore! Thank you.
