Rollercoaster of SD15

The manipulation and roller coaster of emotions SD15 continues to cause in our household is exhausting. Two weeks ago she got into a huge argument with DH and listed basically all of the things she does not like about me, DH, and our household. Too many to list here. I think part of her did make DH feel guilty to some degree. I think DH is at his wit's end.

Greetings Steptalkers. 

Without my usual preamble and dry humor that isnt funny, I have some news.

Yesterday in the am (5/19/2025) I was notified via text that a friend of mine who had asked my husband to do some work on her car for her was filing a restraining order and lawsuit against him. We went back and forth and here is the bare bones of what I know and what was said, all between myself and this woman:

- He didnt do the work he said he did, so she didnt pay him and he spent all last week badgering, harrassing and threatening her.

Classic "wisdom"/sayings about kids and current culture

ESMOD's picture

I recently read an article that talked about those age old sayings that kids these days have not heard of or would have people saying it's outdated.  Things like "children should be seen and not heard".. "I will give you something to cry about" etc...

Well, you know what ?  as a kid who was raised with a lot of those nuggets of wisdom.. I am making a case for why moving away from these kinds of things is creating a bunch of people that are increasingly less pleasant to be around.

Here are a few of the ones that stick out for me.. feel free to weigh in on your own.

O/T: My wizard of Blood Sugar control passed away.

In 1998 I noticed a blind spot in my L eye.  Not very big. But noticeable. I mentioned it to my Endocrinologist who gave me a referal to a retinologist.  The retinologist Dx'd it as a Cotton Wool spot, AKA a blood clot in my retina that had denied blood flow to a group of rods and cones which killed those cells leaving the blind spot.  It has improved over the years from a single noticeable sized blind spot breaking up into three very small spots as it healed.

O/T - My WiFi card crapped out.

That first happened about 10 days ago.  It took me a day+ plus of CPR to get it working again.  That only lasted about 3 days then it gave up the ghost completely.

I bought the laptop new in 2019 so rather than get a new WiFi card I got a new machine.

I picked up  a new one this AM and spent several hours getting it started up, all of the updates done, and back on line.  I had a couple of Teams interviews and had to function online with just my phone until today.

So, learning the key spacing , etc, on a different size and brand of laptop has commenced.
