My cousin called my dad his hero today. My dad's funeral was exactly what we wanted it to be ... Heartwarming, not super sad and full of love. the minister we had was wonderful and spoke to us all as if we're peers rather than condemning us to eternal damnation. I think people learned today what an amazing dad I had. Heck it's not often your dad is called a hero
sounds like a beautiful celebration of life .. 0 -

I really wish there was a product you could throw in with your clothes in the dryer that gets rid of all the long hairs that stick to everything. 3 females in my house with long hair, and it's everywhere! Pull a shirt out and the hairs are literally embedded into the fibers of the fabric.3

An affordable solution is large microfiber fabric (wet) plus lint balls, which not only reduces lint, but hair as well. Running a sticky lint brush over clothing before throwing them into the wash helps a lot. You will need to de-lint the vent after every cycle. Check that your dryer and dryer vent are serviced. Just upgraded my dryer this year to a Commercial model, as my lint screen was not collecting lint - had airflow initially and poor venting design were my issues.
For my shower/sinks/tub ... love my Zip it drain unclogger.

Your dad was surely an earthly angel to be remembered in such an auspicious way. Heroes are rarely ever acknowledged for their selfless acts.1 -
Sorry melmelw03.
Edit: poor airflow.0 -

I've got the drain zip it thingy. I will try the other stuff with the laundry. Will need to buy an economy pack of lint rollers!1 -

I've watched it from the beginning and it's one of the best shows ever. It may seem corny now but it's worth keeping up with it. I hate zombie movies but once I started watching I got hooked!2 -
Thinking about my day with my mom and step dad yesterday; I said I wouldn't let him get to me, but I did. After about 3 offhand(but were they) comments about my hubby, who was at work...I finally lost it. I gathered myself, stopped dad in midsentence and said "Listen to me now. He has been here for 23 years, and MORE than proved himself. I'm sick of you talking *kitten* about him, and I don't want to hear another word, or I'm not coming back."
My stepdad acted all taken aback, like he didn't mean any offence, when it was obvious be was goading me.
Glad I didn't take it now. Hopefully next week, while I act the maid and nurse for him, he's a little nicer and more gracious.4 -

Good for you.
I had promised myself I wouldn't say anything to him that could be adversarial...as he's really sick...but he pushes, like he wants to start issues...then acts all confused like he didn't say anything...he's old, I get it...but I was tired, overworked at that point, and I think PMSy as I was crying...lol0 -
Next week will be better I think. I think they will have appreciated what I did, and they must know they obviously need the help...0

Good on you! Sometimes a doormat can no longer be a doormat.
I've had to do it many times in life, usually estranging myself for years on end. I'm only back now because they are so sick, and I don't want to have regrets again, if you know what I mean..I love my mom dearly and will be destroyed when she goes, but he's not ever been the nicest stepdad, he makes it hard to want to go there...lol..Im even paranoid someone will see this and tell him....ugh....lol0 -

I just read a story on CNN about a girl.who killed herself over cyberbulling. This breaks my heart not only because a family just lost a child but also because this could have been my daughter a few months ago. Not going into detail but kids are so good at hiding emotions. I talk to my daughters about actions and how they affect other people. We as parents are so wrapped up into our own issues and think only because our kids are home and safe that everything is okay and in many cases is not as I found out. Parents have so much influence in how kids treat others. I see it here and we're adults. I have much to say about this issue but I rather not. I just hope parents know that this all starts at home and all we can do is guide our children to be better human beings.LiftingLady5 wrote: »I saw this headline in a story "For the first time, adolescent suicide rates have now surpassed the number of young people being killed in car accidents." And I think it's sad. I know a lot of news stories I've seen lately talk about cyber bullying. I wonder if sometimes helicopter parents make life too good and too easy for their children so when they start to see the real world (hard as it is) they can't handle it due to them being raised in a "let's make everything about you and give you a trophy just for being here" environment. Perhaps some of those same kids are the ones being the cyber bullies because, since they are used to life being all about themselves and what makes them feel good, they don't actually understand how their words and actions can cut another....as they've always been sheltered in their little bubbles. I try to talk to my kids about the world. I let them know that life is not going to be easy out in the "real" world. I tell them they will face mean people who are mean for no reason. I also tell them that their family is always there for them, so if ever they go out in the world and get knocked down, we will be here to help pick them up and be supportive. I tell them they are responsible for themselves and their actions and if anytime any problems or situations seem so dark and unsolvable, I tell them to remember that they are their own light, and we the family, will always be a light for them as well. Every single problem has more than one solution...there is ALWAYS a way to make it better...sometimes a person needs help to find solutions. I try to talk to them about this stuff to help build their foundation so that when they go out in life or real life starts happening to them, they will feel strong and know there is always a way. It's the best I can do I think, to help them grow up in this world. Perhaps being aware will help them avoid being a headline.
Just my deep thoughts on Friday morning
