We just got back from a nice vacation, where we got to visit with our friends and attend the wedding of two of our friends. This was back in the area where my fiance and I both lived for about 9 years before moving to Seattle...

moonshadow68 You know, I still think of Michigan as home even though I haven't lived there since 1991. Carbondale has never really felt like home. However, after a vacation I do love to get back to my routine. Even ahving unobtrusive houseguests (you guys were great!)...

I realized today that I am much more obsessive about my things than maybe i should be. For example, I realize that I have been seriously ticked off twice in the last year when someone randomly used what I thought of as the wrong...

moonshadow68 I feel petty about it, but honestly I think his breathing annoys me at this point. On the upside, when he was sick last week he had the god-given sense to ask which coffee mug to use. Strangely, I never mind with Thor because I know he will take care of it....

Extra cautious? Okay, some of you might want to tell me SHUT UP, stop gloating. But as some of you know I finally got that IRS Treasury check resolved and is in my account now. I've waited a long time in general to get my hands on...

moonshadow68 Ditto with the person above me about freecycle. The only problem is that you usually have to pick it up. I got an excellent used couch that way and some clothes. I also got rid of a ton of stuff that way too. But after 20+ years, if you want the captain's...

My fiance and I went to see "The Dark Knight" last night at the midnight showing. It was the first movie I've ever gone to see at a midnight showing, and I almost couldn't stay awake for it! I was just SO tired by the end that it...

moonshadow68 Damn raccoon!!! If it wasn't already dead... That was the worst ever, though I think midnight shows do get a lot of those glitches. Thankfully, I just avoid them now. I'm thinking the maintine of Dark Knight could be good--no stinky teens ause they're...

A friend of my Mom's grandson died this morning at the age of 17. He had a glass eye since he was a child and had recently got an infection. They took him to the doctor when he started getting headaches and he was given...

moonshadow68 My condolences to your family friend. Sadly, most people do not understand that the eye is a direct conduit to the brain and these things can happen very rapidly. When I worked in the eye doctor's office, we often had to rush people to the hospital because...

I know that different cultures view alcohol consumption differently, but how much wine do you consider too much wine? I have a friend who finishes a two liter bottle of wine just about every day. He drinks this while sitting by...

moonshadow68 Nope, signs won't help. We tried telling him that if he drank our wine, he had to replace it...and he did, but then drank that bottle too, saying 'Well, I bought it..." It has gotten so bad that we simploy don't have alcohol in the house (I know, can you...

moonshadow68 Angel, Thanks for the response. You are right, a bottle a day is a bit much. I just need to figure out how to mention it gently without it causing more tension in the house.

moonshadow68 Aiden, This is great advice! It isn't my problem, but I am concerned because he is a friend. And, it pisses me off that I can't drink responsibly in my own home because he won't. Still, I think nagging him about it would only lead to hard feelings. thanks...

moonshadow68 Sorry you had to live with that, Pye. It must have been very hard on you. Honestly, the part thsat makes me the angriest is that I buy "decent" wine even to cook with-- so about $10 a bottle. The stuff he drinks is Livingston which tastes okay, but is like...

moonshadow68 Charles and Amber rented a u-haul to take all their stuff to Michigan and it was a bit more affordable, but they only had to drive it like 500 miles. I wonder if I can ship it via train? It used to be sooo much cheaper to send stuff that way, if you could do...

moonshadow68 Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, I think that people with a problem with alcohol THINK they are in control, but aren't. I've seen him refuse to do anything else, like go out with friends or whatever, but he will always be willing to run to the store...

moonshadow68 I am sure that he has a problem, since he says he cannot sleep without it. I suppose he is not an ugly drunk, but I do feel like I should be able to have alcohol in my home without fearing that someone will randomly drink it before I get ready to use it.

moonshadow68 I absolutely agree that one does not need to drink every day, but I think he has too many addictions already without adding mylot! He already spends all his time on World of Warcraft.

moonshadow68 I'm not moving to another country, just across this one, about 2000 miles. I have a friend who did it a year ago and it cost her a lot of money, so I am trying to be practical about what I plan to take and what I don't.

moonshadow68 That's exactly what I want to do, take my laptop and my stuff, but not my furniture and that kind of thing. But, furniture is expensive so....I guess it depends on how big a truck I have to rent just to get my bbooks and things there.
