You mis-read my post.
I TOLD my son to pi$$ off. Could just as easily have been eff off, but I'm a lady.

I am hardly being abused. He's a mouthy little twerp who irks me occasionally. He is not my abuser.
One word from me, one nod of my head, one crook of my outrageously long finger ... and Hubby will gladly flatten any or all of them.

In case you haven't figured it out, let me clarify - I am 100% the alpha dog in this house. Avery recognized it immediately and named me such.

When I've had enough, Son #1 will know it, because he won't live here anymore. God has gifted me with an abundance of patience, empathy, and love. I won't apologize for that.

Maybe I should stop posting personal things. You clearly see me as a snivelling beaten woman, cowering in the corner. I'm not. Not by a long shot.

Had a few early morning ramblings only, about your post above to Gabe1:

I want the best outcome for you and your family. You give 100% love and effort to your extended family, and they're all blessed to have you in their lives. (We're all blessed to have you on this forum, by the way.) :cat:

As my general observation only, sometimes people on the forums who care about one another, may share their opinions in such a manner that may end up (inadvertently) causing confusion or anxiety. It's important to stand your ground (which you already do), while also bearing in mind that another person may have still meant well (regardless of whether they were right--or conversely--were just completely off the mark). With a public forum, people come here from all different backgrounds and geographic regions. Some of that background shapes our point of view, which is bound to cause differences of opinion from time to time.

I've observed through the years, in both my family and work relationships, that sometimes the best-intentioned comments (whether appropriate or inappropriate) can get misconstrued, and/or were just plain incorrect to begin with. That ends up causing friction. At that point, I try to tell the person that I could never agree with them on that particular situation. Sometimes, after a while, either side might even reassess their original comments. Eventually, feelings cool down, and we move on to another topic of discussion; we still care about each other though. :)

I have full flights of stairs in my old home. In my dreams I am ready for a condo with an elevator, if the planets align correctly it will have a nice sized balcony too. And a cleaning person if I am dreaming big.

I want a condo also, with balcony...but the "maintenance" fees, can get pretty pricy over the years. On a fixed income, we don't think that will work for us.:(

Time for another doggie "tale"...We had a little dog named Freddy, got him from an animal shelter (in fact we got all of our doggie "children" from the local animal shelter. He was a terrior mix, and he was smart, and really funny. Anyway, we went out to run some errands, leaving Freddy to "watch" the house. He had other ideas up his sleeve. He somehow took hold of the toilet paper, and wrapped it all around the house. When we got home, you could see was very proud of his handy work. Gave us a good chuckle, and we still think of him and laugh. Oh, we didn't use his TP .:D;)

Oh my . . . that's awful. It's beyond my comprehension how things could get broken in your suitcase if you had properly cushioned them with clothing, etc. (I'm sure you did a fine job with that.) What I mean to say is I can't believe how roughly they must have treated your suitcase in the airports. I was also astonished to read that your friend's hard-size suitcase was damaged as well. Yikes.

Well, I dont fly that much (at least twice a year) but I've seen nightmares.. aka the ground crew throwing "handle with care, fragile" tagged bags like they were throw able bowling pins.
specially at Houston's airport :/

It's happened at Denver too. Sitting on the plane and watching how things are handled, we have never tried to bring home breakables, But I have to have the new Epcot monorail mug.:)

We take a large carry on with us and use it specifically for fragile items so that they don't get broken. You're right; they don't handle fragile items with care.
