Know that we are all there supporting you however we can (kinda like control
top pantyhose - we keep you nice and snug) and will still be here when it's over (continuing the analogy - we, like it, are indestructable!). -- Sharon from Melbourne Australia (Queen of Down Under) (who is glad to have put a smile on your face) Queen of Down Under http://www.geocities.com/shazrules/craft.html (takes a while to load) http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/shazrules/my_photos (same as website but quicker) "Mystified One" wrote in message ... I've just had the hardest in a series of family problems. This one I can't really discuss, but it's going to cause tremendous legal outcomes that affect my children. I've been very busy trying to protect the children and to find a way to make sure they're safe once and for all. This stuff isn't even good enough for a Jerry Springer show, if you catch my drift. I'll be back when the court stuff is finalized. "Valkyrie" wrote in message news:1111427381.264343@yasure... I'm right here. I had to move last summer because of all kinds of reasons, mostly health and lost my sewing room. Had to get rid of LOTS of things that I had become quite attached to, like my grandmother's bed and my mangle Ironrite ironer and Lord knows how much stash and craft stuff and two sewing machines. I also had to get rid of all my bird stuff and outdoor plants since there was no balcony or patio at the new place. I had to move into a TINY one bedroom apartment that got next to no sunlight.......I felt like I was living in a cave, and since I don't get out very often it was really beginning to take a toll on me. I was told that there would be a little larger one bedroom coming up in a month (which should have been August) so I never really unpacked. I felt like I was living in a storage locker with boxes piled to the ceiling on most of the walls and just a few trails just wide enough for my wheelchair to get to bed, bath and kitchen. Now, eight months later and I'm really in the dumps, haven't seen my sewing, crafts or books and finally tossed out all my once lush but now dead house plants. The kids next door are always crying, and who ever lives above me I swear gives clogging lessons about 14 hours a day. I am not a happy camper ( Now for the rest of the story.....I was inform last week by the property management people they were really sorry that I had been misinformed by the no longer here managers and that I will be able to move May 1st into a TWO bedroom on the top floor, corner apartment with a HUGE balcony! The bedrooms aren't nearly as large as in my former two bedroom but I WILL have a place to put out my sewing and craft things and the window of that room is HUGE and looks right out onto the balcony where I will once again have my flowers and bird feeders and birdbath fountain. It faces southwest so I will have lots of light for my plants and a view of the mountains and a peak of the sound......and a fireplace! And if that isn't good news enough......they are going to be putting in all new carpeting, my choice, flooring and counter tops, also my choice and will plumb the closet in the room that I will use for my sewing so that I can put my stacking washer dryer in there.....and all new appliances, self cleaning oven, (happy dance), fridge and dishwasher. The new managers are just a darling young couple with an 8 month old baby. They have this place really coming together. The hallways are vacuumed regularly, lobby is always clean and no litter around and fix things as soon as you ask.......plus I get to play with the sweetest little fellow When they come to vacuum my hallway, usually 'daddy', he has the baby in the stroller and we have worked out a deal.....I play with baby while he cleans for the 20 minutes it takes him to vacuum and he takes out my garbage to the dumpster. Works nicely! I know the people who will be my new neighbors and they are very nice (and quiet) and I won't have 'cloggers' overhead since I'm on the top floor. The actual move is being taken care of by new friends I have met at church. As one lady put it......we have half the high school football team here, between the ladies taking care of breakables and the boys doing the heavy stuff we'll have you moved, unpacked and settled in no time. I had given all my outdoor plants to a gentleman who is a good friend of a good friend. He has called to say that all but two of the containers made it through the winter and when I was ready he and his boys will be more than happy to deliver and set them up for me. You have no idea how happy I am!! I just needed to share with you all since these newsgroups have sort of given me my vicarious joy while I was going through these really depressing months. Life is good! Val "Cynthia Spilsted" wrote in message ... Okay ladies (and gents): Get out from under your crinolines, prom dresses, quilts and costumes and check in with us! I have visions of Tom being rolled down the streets of New York having eaten too much (sorry, I'm still envious!), Joy getting mugged by American Doll collectors for her patterns, Cea being locked up for bopping Bridezilla for one two many outbursts (the first one - it saves us the agony!) and Kate getting into goodness knows what trouble.... Melinda, I expect, has just been swamped.....(literally and physically!) Two days and no posts............I might have to go back down and actually sew those costumes I've been avoiding! Cynthia |

Yeah, and even if we hit a snag, we are still
pretty reliable! Some may run, but the rest stay firm!! Anon.

I've been very busy trying to protect the children and to find a way to make sure they're safe once and for all. I am so sorry. I have gone through something similar in my own life. Thankfully we all came out of it safe and sound, and I will be praying that you will, too. ((((((((((Mystified One))))))))))) |
