OMG! How do people think this stuff up??? Imagine the first person saying to oneself hmmm lets cut this up and chew it for a while or burn and inhale it to see what happens. Difficult to wrap my brain around.

Was he injured that he has chronic pain?

He has advanced hereditary degenerative disc disease. Like Brother #1, he is unable to sit or stand for more than a few minutes.
Bro #1 has much more pervasive problems, compounded by a significant car accident 20+ years ago. Despite that, he has chosen not to curl up in a ball and watch life pass him by in a drug-induced haze. He does ocassionally, sleep through an entire calendar day, but generally forces himself to get up and do things.

My father's disc disease was so bad that he spent 16 weeks in a body cast - twice!
Some may scoff, but I believe this kind of stuff - he attended a special healing service in Philadelphia and was healed in 1994. The specialist examining him 15 years later, asked him how it was based on the x-rays and MRI that my dad was even able to stand upright. My dad claimed that he had been healed many years previously. The specialist said that he must have been, because my father had no business walking, standing, working, playing with grandkids .... We subscribe to the theory - in all things, give God the glory.

Okay, here's the other reason yesterday was a carppy day.
This is entirely, 100% my fault, because as an exclusively commissioned salesperson, I often count my chickens before they are hatched.

Sounds like Hubby's partner M. will be back in time for the grand opening. This is wonderful news, and I am pleased that he is recovering ... buuuuuut, that's $50K gone.
Aaaaaaand, they will only be getting 28 lots to sell, rather than 40, which means another 60K fffffftttttt, gone.

So, while I never had it, I sorta lost more than $100K yesterday, if only in my mind.

Aaaaaaand ... if Hubby and M. wrap up their site in time, they will be going to the Bolton site, and I will have to wait for the Brampton site. This is the least disturbing news. As long as one of us goes to Bolton, I don't care who it ends up being.

Oh, and I spent 20 minutes talking on the phone to my old partner G. He still hasn't been told that he isn't being re-hired. I phoned the Boss, gave her ship, and to stop being cruel and just rip off the dang bandaid. She's not doing him any favours by ignoring his calls. And certainly not doing me any favours, forcing me to string him along until she gets the b*lls to cut him loose.

So.....

Your brother used his last Get out of Jail Free card

Your son threw out his typical car fit and frosted it with his I'm Moving threat

And your employer re-dealt the deck that is a Loose, Loose, Loose proposition.

:O
Stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces every time
And I don't need no carrying on

'Cause you had a bad day


Ok, I sang to you, do you feel better now? :)
