family matters….

the others « lurking chihuahua - Several years ago my wife allowed her brother, his kids, and a couple other people to come live with us because they were basically homeless. We tried to help them out but were largely unsuccessful. Some of them left within the first month; Sweetous' brother, the son, and one …

an update….

I got Sweetous' truck out of the shop today and now I need to put her car in so it will pass the emissions test. Hell, I am spending a lot of money on cars lately ! Today was a really slow day at work; hoping things pick up tomorrow. They likely will. I am …

tuesday late…

Dave and Davey are leaving for Michigan tomorrow, they will live with his Parents. We had pizza at LB's and then went home and Dave started packing his truck. I worked on this blog; added some links, posts from old blogs, and started my web portal. Now, I am getting tire, so I shall goto …

The Little Old Computer and other matters…..

I've heard it said that "idle hands are the Devil's workshop", and hell, I do believe they are right ! BALLS & HELL ! Sweetous is watching dogs all weekend I am all by myself with lot's of time on my hands. It's hot as hell out too. So anyway, I was loitering in my …

an update….

We are having Dave and his kids over for dinner tonight, Loretta will bring her new baby ! I was looking forward to holding the baby but I'll have to pass on that 'cause I have had cold for the past 2 days. Yesterday I was really sick, but today a lot better. Hopefully the …

It's 8:45 pn and I am just now checking the web (at home anyway). Extremely busy day, I finished the spreadsheet I was working on at work, shipped some boxes of old files too. I went walking in the morning before work, a nice long walk at lunch time too. When I got home, Sweetous …

...been a very busy week and a busy day too. I had actually brought some work home from the office but so far have not done any of it. I was helping LB & Steve move into their townhouse and helping Dave & family move out of our place to their own apartment.  I need …

Like this:

Today I was helping LB & Steve move into their townhouse, also helping Dave et al. move to their apartment. So soon it will be just me and Sweetous again. Sweetous is giving Dave a lot of our furniture and some dishes So we have been moving  / cleaning the house too. Gawd we have …

an update….

..walked in the house today after work and noted that it was very quiet and Sweetous was in the parlour with the doors closed. Dave and his kids were upstairs. So, I asked her if she was hiding, and she told me that she saw some of Davey's school papers and found out that he …

Been away from the house all week, watching other people’s house and dogs….

Very busy at work too, so I shall provide a brief update - filed under "prodigals" 'cause most of it involves my extended family and former house guests. We just finished the highpoint of the week ! My nephew Davey got Baptised this morning ! Excellant, thanks be to God ! Davey also received his …

Giant cell granulomas and other matters….

..yeaterday, I had my appointment with oral surgery to follow-up on the giant cell granuloma. Doctor said it was gone and completely healed. He said the "puffy" area I felt was sublingual saliva gland which I could feel because I was missing so many teeth. My scans and labs were all normal, so I am …

an update….

.....just want to do a brief update on David and his family. Dave has been working about 3 weeks now, likes his job.  Davey seems to be doing well at school and he has started to go to Sunday School too. Loretta is coming back. Sweetous said she could come back but will have to …

an update….

I was talking with Sweetous this morning. She told me that Tony was going back to his Parents and leaving Loretta stranded in Arizona (Nevada ?) Anyway, from what I hear, he is just dropping her.  So anyway, Sweetous was telling me that Loretta wanted to come back with us and get a job and …

Move out day….

.....Tony & Loretta are moving out today. It will be nice being less crowded but I do feel badly that they didn't adjust here better. They are going to Tony's Grandma in Arizona. I wish them well..... Sweetous is cleaning, she has their beds tore apart already, she does not waste any time. So I …

More family drama…..

......Sweetous picked me up after work today and told me that Tony had quit his job at her company. This is so irrational. He quit so that he could go to an interview for another place. The other place is farther away (Tony has no car) likely pays less, and has longr hours. Sweetous  told …

Sunday….

.....this morning Sweetous, Piglette, and I went to church. David, Davey and Tony also went, Loretta did not go. I was surprised, but pleased to see Tony go. But i do think Tony's days with us are numbered: Sweetous was very angry at him yesterday for leaving the lights and A/C on in his room …

And now this….

Sweetous told me that Tony got caught smoking at work yesterday. In a biomedical research facility this is a big NO NO ! She told me he nearly got fired, but the leadership group at her company discussed the matter and decided to keep him on. Tony was very subdued here at home last night. …

A brief ranting….

I waited for Loretta to get off work last nite so I could drive her home, she worked several hour longer than planned. It didn't really bother me (as long as it does not become habitual) but Sweetous was not pleased about it.  Sweetous does seem to have a "hard on" for Loretta; she told …

Notes about our extended stay house guests…..

Tony & Loretta are getting on Sweetous' nerves. Driving to work today Sweetous was telling me that she is very annoyed at Loretta 'cause she is so unmotivated: so far she seems uninterested in finding work or going to school. Another thing is she waits on Tony like she was his maidservant..... Although Tony has …

It’s been a while since I mentioned anything about our extended family…..

Tony got a job where Sweetous works (a research lab). The pay is pretty good for an entry level no HS diploma job, around $11.00 per hour as I recall. It is also convenient as far as transportation goes. The drawback here is that Tony got bit by a monkey his first week there and …
