Wego....yes similar....but with dogs or horses.........I can appreciate the situation. But DH needs to go be with father. He'll feel awful and put upon if he doesn't. Been there done that one too.
Glad the mother visit went better than you had expected.

He won't go, Batty. He should but he won't. He's really ticked that his borthers won't and he really wants to stick close to me this weekend.
Honestly, it really is easier to have hima t shows because he tends to stay with the sale birds and let me play social butterfly and watch the judging.
I'm goint to try and send him next week. I don't think this thing with Pops will be over any time soon.
DH texted his rbothers and asked them to go be with Pops. He knows they won't, but needed that to be out there.
Yes, Mom was good this weekend. DD rolled her eyes at me a few times, but mostly things went okay. It helped to know that Mom planned to rescue her from the poultry show. Even better: Mom will take her to her first Japanese class at a local college Saturday morning. DD is really excited to be learning some Japanese!! And she coulnd't go if Mom weren't willing to come stay at our house and drive her there.

What channel was Big Bang on last night?
You know who has my mom down pat? Two & a Half Men. Mom's not a slut like their mother, but or a gold-digger, but otherwise they have her personality spot on!

It wasn't. DH bought me season 3 for my birthday.

Lori ((HUG)) I hope things get better for your FIL. I'll keep you and your DH's family in my thoughts and prayers. I'll see you at the show in Newnan too (I'll just look for the lady that looks a little frazzled).

I know he's in pain - bad teeth and arthritic like symptoms in his back and hands. I get that. But that not with standing, the drunkard behavior is coming back. I don't know if it is totally that or a series of factors. I do know he's done living in the present. he's moved on to the fantasy world of Wyoming and I'm left here to deal with everything alone.
I don't know, or claim to know, all there is to know about all of this. What I have been told and what I read is that stopping drinking is the easy part. You either drink or you don't. Dealing with all the psychological and functional aspects of an addictive personality is by far much much harder and most people aren't equipped to do it without help. I learned a lot from my alcoholic friends, I didn't even know some of them were recovering alcoholics till I started talking. All of them had some sort of counseling whether it was friends, AA, or a counselor/shrink. Some had more than one type of counseling. All of them said the mental/emotional part was by far the hardest to get a grip on.
If your benefits includes any sort of Employee Assistance Program - use it. If you don't know, ask HR. Our allows 3 visits per "subject" with a counselor at no cost to us. I used it for marriage counseling and then again when dd#2 was completely off the deep end, head spinning psycho. If that's not an option there are plenty others, let me know if you need help finding resources or just need to talk.
Our EAP allows 6 free visits per 'issue' and is a valuable resource, for sure.
My ex had an addictive personality, and sadly there are soooo many things out there to get addicted to. He successfully pulled himself away from alcohol and cocaine but never was able to stop the personality disorder aspect. He was incredibly manipulative, too. In retrospect, I wish he'd gotten addicted to MORP games. That would've been so much easier to manage, and so much less trouble than the porn.

I appreciate all the prayers for sure!
Bows, everyone will be frazzled there LOL.
There will be dozens blowdrying silkies, buffing and polishing their cocks, and running around like mad fiends trying to make sure everything is perfect.
We're going to get into town Friday, late afternoon, so we can check the showbirds in. My NPIP dude never showed up, and I cut off the leg bands from the last show, so my birds may need to be tested again
I'm hoping we get their early enough to eat with the other exhibitors. We'll see....

Yay!!!
Sounds like lav & lav splits are a hot item in Newnan this weekend. That, and silkies. Glad I'm not really shopping for anything in particular. Hope someone there wants a gorgeous, large partridge silkie roo. I'm done with him.
Going to sell some project roos, too.
And probably going to sell all my goldnecks, since I don't have enough room for all the colors of d'Uccle I own.
Probably going to sell them all.
And then again, the cockeral with not enough white would make pretty babies with the pullet with too much white....
See ya later, Batty-gator!!
