  8. This thread is a bit intimidating because it is so well done. Here are a few things about men that I love. The way he says kiss me The way he takes my hand randomly when we are close The way he prays The manner in which he gives blessings The way he councils our children to ask for help from their Father In Heaven The way he looks at me when I am pretending I don't see The way he loves and serves people The way I know he loves my family as much as his own How he will lay the law on the line with our children but then shows them how much he loves them His never-ending amount of energy. His works a full day, comes home and mows two lawns and then wipes down the sink. The way his clothes almost never smell bad and they get washed just because it's time. The way he sings out loud when driving the boat. The way he cooks breakfast when we travel The way he teases me about my craft messes lol I love the way he stacks our pillows when unmaking the bed for the night. I love the way he can fix just about anything we coded him "MacGyver" The way he tries to fold a t-shirt lol The way he care for himself, always looks perfect with his hands clean and his shoes polished I love the way I can read what he is thinking and see the smile through his "bluff" I love the way he smiles at me when I am ready to go with him out the door. People, this is getting a bit long I almost feel like I have written an Elphaba post. I will stop for now.

  19. Well, your story makes me really aware of what I don't want to become in my old age. I would like to learn to be independent but I see myself growing old with my husband, which I hope we will be able to stay together until the end. Now a different point of view five years ago I lost my mom at the age of 63. Five months ago I lost my father at the age of 72. I really long for the days when they could be a pain in my side. With my mom she was sick for a few years then diagnosed with cancer and was gone within a month. My dad was diagnosed with cancer eight years ago then he was given six months to live six months before he died. I have a lot of guilt for not giving my "all" to my mom years before she died. She was what I considered needy too yet I was busy raising my family and when she would ask for me to come and see her I would say I will just not today kind of thing. I still hear that echo though my mind from time to time. With my dad, I learned what not to do because of what I went through with my mom. I was readily available for my dad and maybe at times a little too much but now that he is gone I have no regrets that I didn't do all that I could for him. To me you sound like you have given your mom a lot even at the risk of your own family. You have had her for 6 years and I am sure those were difficult times for you. I also feel like she needs to respect you and your families life. You are generous to give of everything you have but there needs to me some rules that she follows. I have learned over the years that we are who we are based on our lives teachings. I am not saying you are doing anything wrong but have you tried to look at your mother for her life and what it has taught her? You mentioned health issues... Could it be that she doesn't want to be alone bc she feels like she is dying? I know more about my mother because I have learned about her childhood since she has been gone. Sure she was negitive about some things but in looking back she had a lot of negativism thrown her way. I look back at her mom (my grandma) and remember sometimes when she made me feel pretty small and I think she was like that with my mom. I know that my mom could only be accountable for the knowledge that she had at the time and she didn't have a lot of joy. If she doesn't have a lot of options can you talk to her about a few key points, which are pushing you over the edge? It appears that your mom is trying to take the role of a victim and if anything she is so lucky to have you and your family to keep her company at times. I wonder if she see's that clearly. I think you are a wonderful daughter.:)
  20. Well they could continue the story with her daughter and Jacob.
  21. Okay I just finished this book and I am not really disappointed. I was a bit difficult to get through but I am not sure it was in part to my desire to not have it end. What do you think will this book continue in any way?
  22. Silly Goose! Why would I read that thread, it simply does not apply to me.
  23. Oh Yeah? Why didn't you THANK ME?
  24. Seriously, I know there are Self-Rightous-Mormons in every State. Is that what you are saying? You have not said how you feel about Utah Mormons.
  25. Clap On, Clap Off!
