Wow! Girl goes down with a Wiley Coyote Bad Hair Day at Work and you guys get to chatting. Guess I will get back with you in a few after reading up on things.
Okay...., Welcome FluffyColors, nice to meet you!
Hummmm, men.... complicated subject, (like we aren't) but it is a good excuse to write off their behavior most times. A person's actions are usually based on expectations, not necessarily on logic. Let him sit for awhile before revisiting this argument. It may be a guilt thing about not being the provider or some variation. You could ask him why and see what he is thinking. If it is a money saving idea, then staying in town every other night or more with a friend would cut costs and you would still have income coming in. We were going to do something like this after the flood around here and it was 3 hours for DH to get to work, but instead they let him telecommute for a few months.
When I get stressed-out with overwhelming decisions or information, I generally go find a patch of ground and lay down on it and just let all of the stress dissipate into the earth. There are some things beyond our control and they are going to be whatever they turn out to be, but coming up with a logical flow chart of if/then possibilities will help you deal. It has kept my sense of humor intact through some tough times for sure. None of us are perfect and that is what makes us so interesting....

My parents were rather complicated too, or rather, just my mother. I don't think she was ever truly happy. Thankfully I chose not to follow in those particular footsteps...
Now, on to the ghost story I promised earlier today. This might get a bit long... Let me start by explaining that the land we are building our new house on once belonged to my grandfather. It passed to my dad about 10 years ago and because I'm the only child living in the area he is giving it to me. Now, before we could build this house we had to sell the one we owned "in town", about 25 miles away. This house DH bought before I was in the picture. After my children and I moved in I did a little checking...the house was originally owned by my great-great grandfather!
So we sold that house and moved into the one that I am currently in. It was my great-grandparents' home and my cousin currently owns it. The house was originally one story, but my great grandma Mary had a second story put on. Before it was completely finished she died in one of the bedrooms upstairs. (My son's room). Great grandpa lived here until he died. Then his daughter and her husband (my great aunt and uncle) moved into the house. They lived here and raised a family. One of their sons was killed about 10 miles from here. They shut the door to his room and that's the way it is today. I only check once a month to make sure the roof isn't leaking.
When we moved in the house had been empty for about five years. It needed a lot of cleaning. I was shampooing the carpets upstairs when I sensed someone standing behind me. I thought it was DH. When I turned around there was no one there. I went back to cleaning. A short while later the presence was there again. A couple of days later I was outside working in the very overgrown gardens. I looked up at the house and saw a person watching me from the upstairs landing window. After asking my cousin if his brother was haunting the house he told me about "Grandma Mary". His wife has seen her as have his twin nieces. Apparently she only appears to girls. She has moved things in the house, opened windows, turned on lights and opened the bedroom door that must stay shut.
I just talk to her now, because she seems pretty harmless.
I can't wait to start the new house. Supposedly somewhere on the family propery (I have a lot of relatives here) is the original cemetery. I haven't found it yet!
cool.
who else has one?
I love these type of stories.
If this were a real Cafe, I'd have to get a job here, because I wouldn't leave.

And then, who would feed the chickens?

When i was about 20 I used to live in an old house alongside a railway. At the time life was grand - I had an awful lot of friends, there were lots of parties to go to - in fact, I don't even remember working during that period. I did of course, but it was so insignificant that the 'good times' dominate my memories of that time.
Anywho....I used to be very into Tarot cards, and became quite accurate with them. I have also always been very 'in tune' with the other side, and even now hubby says I will wake him up occasionally because I am sitting up in bed having a conversation with someone who is simply not there. It's not sleep-talking, as many people will do. I am aware of doing it, and I formulate my questions reasonably consciously, but the answers come back in my head - not audibly perceptible to anyone else.
In this house, there were quite a few night time conversations held! I always knew that there was a spirit in the house, you could feel it in the hallway at the far end. In fact, when you walked down the hallway from kitchen to living room it always felt like there was someone right there behind you, on your heels. I was not the only one who felt the presence - all of my friends would walk up the hallway but run back down, although no-one ever said anything to me about it. I would just smile to myself as I heard them running up the wooden hall.
One day my friends and I had all been out on a day trip. It had been a good day, we were all tired and happy to get back to my home. I stood at the front door, opened it with the key, and stepped inside. As the others followed me in, a loud deep voice called "Hello!" and my friends disappeared behind me back outside! The next thing we knew, a stereo turned itself on and the music was deafening. My friends were freaking out in the front yard, and upon checking I determined there was no-one else in the house. It had been such a clear, loud 'hello' that no-one could argue that it hadn't happened.
That was a bit of a spooky day, and confirmed my suspicious that I never truly lived there alone.

I truly believe that some people "see" others more easily than other people do. And Krista, I too have several decks of Tarot cards. I haven't used them in a few years, but I keep thinking I need to leave my favorite deck out and see if grandma Mary has anything to say!
