    You are saints for bearing with me, truly. I just sent Mum in Law an e mail explaining that I expect her to help around the house, help with everything, every day she stays. Only when she is feeling better after her laser cataract procedures of course. I also said that she has been coming for years and never helps out and that I really cannot physically do it all anymore, especially for that length of time. I have DDD and arthritis so I do the best I can but truth be told, she gets around far better than I unfortunately. I know that she will get really drunk, tell all her cronies at the bar and then send me a scorching, resentful e mail. I told her not to bother with that. Either help out at the very least or find other accommodations. I also know she will try to pit her son against me and cry. I don't care, told her that too. You pick your battles and I choose very few. I've had enough. I've been dealing with the consequences of this and shall continue to do so, on my terms now. Oh MY, maybe pray for me....? 😮😳

    That went well. Mum in Law says she'll help out all the time, just doesn't want to interfere or cross the line. Not a clue what that means. No way does she want to stay anywhere else. She loves and adores both of us madly and all will be well. Pretty sure that means she'll just buy me lots of stuff, drink more and try to stop eating off plates. Thanks for listening people, I apologize for carrying on so. Thanks again.

    Well done, mon! Here's hoping things work out for the better this time around.

    There's no way to address this that won't be offensive to some, but I don't care. There are some folks that spend inordinate amounts of cash on pets that are clearly very ill. I just want people who aren't flush, to maybe think about their own health and perhaps keeping some scratch in case they need to spend some on their own healthcare and well being. Just a thought pet lovers.

    Is this a response to Pettalk members posting about their sick pets?

    Husband and I both got flu shots today. Just a reminder in case anyone forgets. I know some people don't get them. I respect those who choose not too but for those who do.... sometimes we forget. I haven't had the flu for at least 12 yrs. I started getting the flu vaccination. The last time was SO brutal. Wouldn't wish that on many folks. Okay, maybe D.T. Definately D.T.
