Fun for the whole family on Christmas day!
We have sleet, a fire, cold ass cold wheather and we're now watching comedy central after telling funny stories for an hour.
Merry Christmas: )
-
Lighter-
You have a talent and joie de vivre that extends from the simple pleasures to the elegant and posh. Thank you for sharing your warm and luxurious holiday- it is a true delight to read your posts, and to see the great love and care you exude to everyone in your milleu. Next year when I have things straightened out, I will try to run with the inspiration you provide here. Merry Christmas to you and all of your family and friends!!!!
Love,
Changing

Funny is the best medicine! My daughter got me Chris Farley for Christmas and I look forward to watching the Motivational Speaker skit! Merry and Happy Christmas to all!
-
OC, I would love to see that Chris Farley skit!
Poor guy, but sooo funny. He was one of those tragic give-it-everything-and-beyond comedians. Loved him.
Changing, I think you nailed it about Lighter's light: it's joie de vivre.
Imagine, Lighter, by this time next year, you'll be free???
I want to cohost a freedom party with you.
And Changing, you are as far from feral as it gets, because civility at the level of the soul is what you have.
You are a luminous woman.
love

Hops, Overcome and Changing:
I'm still laughing and looking forward to spending New Years with my little ones. I resisted H's temptation to take us out of State. I'd much rather be giggling with the wee ones than worrying about them or wondering why the heck they're without me.... and that's what I'd be doing.
I ate myself into several food induced stupors a day, over the last few days, btw.
Pretty much what I do every year this time. My body's already resisting food, which is the natural state of things when I've overdone it. Kind of a nice break from food, frankly.
We're going to Joel's for New Years, provided I can find a baby sitter at http://joelrestaurant.com/
This is our traditional restaurant for public displays of marital (sham) bliss. <tic>
I haven't read the menu yet..... I guess I'll do that now.... and it'll be with wine pairing.
::trying to picture the meal with 5 and 7 yo's along bc we can't find a sitter::
It isn't pretty, lol.
Oh! oh!.... I have to say.... one of the most satisfying things to do over this holiday was teach all the cousins.... female but for one nephew, some basic grappling techniques. My sister's daughter is particularly interested, with very good balance and instincts. We worked at it so much that I could barely walk one day, so painful was my left thigh... OUCH.
I almost forgot what it feels like to work out hard and feel it over the next few days.
Partial list of favorite foods we have at my father's over the holidays includes.....:
Beeted eggs...mmmmm
Bread stuffing
Squash casserole
Scalloped Potatoes
Ribs on the grill
Turkey and gravy
Trilby cookies (date nut cookies with brown sugar oatmeal cookies, My Grandma's recipe)
Homeade caramel
There was a lot more but I pretty much stick with those items when stuffing myself beyond all reason.
I brought home an entire Pecan Pie...mmmmm... and we ordered Mellow mushroom pizza last night for dinner. Had it for breakfast and lunch..... Mexican for dinner coming up in the next hour or so.
Maybe my body hasn't started resisting food just yet, lol..... but she's thinking about it; )

H????????????? I thought you were divorcing.

Hello Lighter-
I have had such a ridiculously impoverished holiday season (in the monetary sense) that your delicious descriptions have really made things fun for me! Ah, next year I am going to cook like mad!!!! This year no money and no table, so I am doing things that I like that cost little or nothing!
I have been going to the gym nearby (paid up so it's free) to do my physical therapy, as I don't want Bagworm to go to the Disabled Therapy building wher I take my normal therapy. He probably wouldn't , but I couldn't live with myself if I subjected those vulnerable people to him. I have no money, so have been eating sparingly, have to severely limit my gas consumption so very little driving as well. Basically to the gym 2 blocks away, church 5 blocks away and the Domestic Violence class.
This has proven to be a boon to my looks, as the waist and abs are showing the work. No law school, so I have also been able to do things in the house and still sleep 8 hours, etc. So it's been like a spa vacation!!!! Maybe my face will stop looking like this :shock: eventually!
The only fly in the ointment is that I rush to view the security camera every time I hear something outside, and I feel upset when I get calls like, "This is Ross ...(I know no Ross)" in a mean voice with no other message except the number.
I love to read about your parties and cooking. I do love to make pecan pie and cheesecake. In March I will bake an incredible cheesecake to celebrate the divorce, and will share the details with you. I am still thinking about the European butter you described- sounds good, and I am going to find some, and bake some French bread on Monday, when I get some cheddar in the bank!
Please keep describing your holidays and I hope that you and you loved ones have a fabulous time!
Love and Gratitude,
Changing

Changing, hon, I didn't realize you'd left school?
What a daunting daily life. It's going to get better. IT IS.
I am so awed that you exercise and cope with the deprivations
and keep your amazing spirit. An Amazon with abs!
You are an enormous inspiration. Thank you for sharing these realities you live with now.
(Lighter, you make me hungry too!)

Changing:
it's a funny thing...... this life I'm leading right now.....
I'll be glad when you're a high powered attorney I can say I knew back in the day.
I guess school'll start back up again soon? I didn't understand that you were taking a long leave.... did I miss something?
I haven't cared about restaurants in a while.... nice to have my appetite back and find I'm interested in food again.... glad the details interest you.
Not sure what those mean messages on your answering machine are about. I remember when everything freaked me out..... I had to borrow friend's dog's to get any sleep at all.
Having the camera's a good idea. I wish you had a couple of really good roomates right now. Maybe some that worked on the house in lieu of rent and were home a lot at night?
You're an inspiration and I can imagine you figuring out some of the basic problems with the legal system...... making some worthwhile changes that help victims of dv.
In the meantime...... I'm glad your feeling strong and enjoyinng your abs. I haven't seen mine since I got my appetite back with a vengeance.
Lupita..... the divorce was shelved back in August when we signed a recociliation agreement.
He needs my permission to come to the house and I have decision making power with regard to therapy and..... everything really. Or I file again: /
I haven't been talking much about it, I realize.

Hi Izzy-
I am fine, law school is on hiatus until the second week of January and I just have to be extremely frugal- that's not so bad! I have so much to do and enjoy and improve etc that does not cost money, or much money. My foot is less painful because I am not pushing myself so relentlessly, time and work-wise. I am happy actually, except for the constant Bagworm stuff- I will be filing my own protection order next week, and hope that all goes well.
Oh Izzy I am worried about your leg- so many complications...I am glad that you are tending to it and have others to help you.
My holidays have been mainly church and seeing my friend's mother who was in the hospital and is now in an assisted living facility- she is a truly wonderful lady who has been so kind to me in the past. I also helped a friend fix up her place a bit, and am tending to a stray cat who was injured and hid in my yard. I got credit at the vets and used much of my remaining gas to get there. I am going to counseling and the gym and other things that are beneficial- I am truly blessed!
The financial crunch is fine Izzy- don't feel badly please, I am doing well , just have to be very careful and do all that I can to take care of business- things will resolve soon. In the meantime, I love to read about Lighter's imaginative and exciting holidays that she shares with her family and friends- now that's living!!!! And of course I love your stories and insights- a treasure trove of knowledge!
Love and Concern from Your Friend,
Changing

Hi Lighter-
I have been off from law school since finals. Things are tight money-wise but I am getting proper sleep and exercise, so I am feeling better- have finally gotten over the flu! I have so much to do that is free or nearly so that I enjoy, the time is flying by. I am anxious to get rid of Bagworm's things and those community items that I no longer want, hate to waste more time and money, and have no idea of how things will finally all shake out, but am trying not to dwell on the negative- there is so much good to do and think about. I love the exercise and the sleep and the quiet without Bagworm! I am getting a lot out of the Domestic Violence Counseling as well.
I have a friend who would be happy to be a roommate, as I have a huge yard, etc, but in my state, that could prove problematic as I might have to declare her as helping with income etc, so I would have to pay Bagworm!!! Stupid I know. My next email to my distracted lawyer will include that idea, however- thank you for reminding me!
I do love to read about your holidays- I may never fully emulate you as I have never been anywhere or done anything, but the inspiration is magic and it is very fun to imagine what you describe!
As far as the lovely legal system and the process that you are in, I know that you know what you want to do and have the right to explore whatever you may find important. These things may not follow a straight line to final resolution- you need to do all that you can so that there are no regrets later, and no one else can judge or do this for you. In the meantime keep enjoying your life and doing the beautiful things that you do for your family!
In Love And Gratitude,
Changing

Can you not document that your friend is staying with you bc YOU LIVE IN FEAR FOR YOU LIFE?
Why must everything always go against you and not for you?
Bagworm should be penalized for making you live in fear.... not rewarded.
Your friend can do work around the house and not provide income...... there's plenty to do there, yes?
So glad you're over the flu and feeling better.
Let me know what the attorney says about the roomate thing. You could really use some support and company, IMO. (((changing)))
-
Lighter The Brilliant Strategist and Bon Vivant!
I am going to send another magnum opus to my lawyer tomorrow. Your sage thoughts will be included. I do sometimes feel like a fish in a barrel- conforming to strictures while the Bagworm roams free to strike at will...he has lain low lately, as I suspect he doesn't want problems with his potentialy lucrative Work Comp case, which I think may well include fraud- next week I am going to pursue what I can.
As for the work around the house- this is my extremely disorganized friend who I will most likely be straightening up after! I have to get a little mean to have her help fix up her own place so...she will probably take care of the pets, which she does very well, if she stays here. There is a big yard and a spare room, so I don't see a problem- she will have to limit her disorganization to her own space, though!
I wil let you know how things work out!
Thank you for your flashes of genius directed to my plight!!!!
Love,
Changing

Well watched Chris Farley and got a good laugh. Matt Foley, The motivational speaker is still the funniest. Phil Hartman was the dad and that was sad too to think of two funny men dead in their prime. Cocaine is a horrible drug. My friend is a cold head and I have seen her spiral out of control. We had a good Christmas-food-family-fun. I bought a new tree this year and it stopped working so I took it back and got a new one-scratched the heck out of my arm. Love and good wishes to all.
-
She is a Coke head. Lighter-I did not realize you have little ones-I am glad to be past that stage. And Changing-I remember when I went through my divorce I wanted to become a lawyer-but you are doing it. Too bad you have to deal with this Bag! Oh well maybe as time passes you can press forward and he will back off. Just think-things are tight now but when you become a real lawyer-you should have some more $!
-
not to rain on anyone's parade...as much as I enjoy comedy, some of the stuff on the Comedy Central network is just plain FILTH. The language, the sexual comments, Larry the cable guy and others...just disgusting and there is NO WAY I'd let my children watch that...in fact, they scold ME if they see me watching it. The sad thing is, just like with movies, some of those acts are really good and do not need all the cussing and vileness to enhance anything.
~Laura
-
Yes A lot of raunchy stuff-but I have to admit I laugh at a lot of it-I would probably not watch it WITH most people especially my mom. But I guess in my old age I can appreciate even sick or inappropriate humor. Part of this probably stems from me doing the exact opposite of what my mom would do. The pendulum always swings a bit too far the opposite way of my mom.
-
Hoppy, Lighter, Overcomer-
Thank you for checking on me! I am only on holiday break- soon I will be back among the law library stacks- this term hopefully with nothing to divert me from my studies! I am fine, truly.I don't like to be tightly budgeted as I am , but I am really well and blessed that I have what I do- if you Google Bagworms, you will see that they are a parasitic pest that sucks the life force and resources from their hosts and that is what I am dealing with and need to eradicate!!!!
I do thank you for your concern and support- I am happy even now, and will be ecstatic i think when there is no more Bagworm infestation!!!!
Lighter, keep those menus and descriptions of decorations and activities coming!
Love To All,
Changing

I tried to reply earlier to this thread but I accidentally deleted my reply, so here I go again, in reference to how people laugh at raunchy humor.
Herein lies the "rub" as they say...as a follower of the Lord and a person who does my best to adhere to the Bible, I do not lend my ears nor eyes to this type of humor. The Bible says that for the "believer" coarse joking should not be named among us. I'm not saying that everyone in the world follows this nor believes this, but as for a genuine Christ-follower who wants to follow scrpture radically, it's in there.

Ummmmm..... I think God has a sense of humor..... even the ironic and askew sorts.
I don't care to discuss it any further either.
Changing..... some help with pets would be nice..... but the companionship.... having a witness around.....
priceless.

My Dear Lighter,
I certainly agree. When Bagworm sees anyone else about,he flees immediately. However, the form interrogatories for the state specifically ask about other adults, etc in the home, for the purpose of evaluating income so that is an issue in the final settlement. I will deinitely keep you informed as to my findings and progress so that I can get your take on things. Maybe something can be worke out!
Hope you had a great Sunday and thank you for your care and help- you are a godsend to me! Thank you for seing me through this!
Tomorrow I am getting "salty European butter" and baking some "crusty French bread" (thanks to you)!
Love To You And Yours,
Changing
-
MMmmmmmm.... salty butter and homeade fwench bwead!
I don't know why you couldn't state that you have another adult in the home then add that they're there as a favor to you, not to produce income.
You could also say that you're having trouble getting around bc of your injuries and she helps with the animals and yard instead of paying rent.
Two birds with one protective witness that keeps Bagworm in the shadows.
I'm sure your attorney will help you figure out what Bagworms idiot will say to that (and if it's enough to keep you isolated and without help :shock:)
Really upsetting when good people are kept from succor and predators enjoy secrececy and the spoils of their theivery.
BTW.... is he going to get away with stealing all the money and why don't you know where he lives yet?
-
I will debate this. Laura. I am a Christian and I know where you are coming from. Some is just over the top. But I have felt that my life was a list of dos and don'ts for so long. Yes, I prolly wouldn't watch some of these shows with a crowd. Just me. But I also appreciate silly, stupid humor and Chris Farley just makes me laugh (God rest his soul...........) I would never condone humor that made a mockery of my faith. I would never turn a blind eye to anything that was immorally wrong. But I just get a kick out of sick fart humor and even other topics. I guess the part of me that was out there while I was pushed into this perfect box. I think of myself as someone who is a good Christian but is also very open to humor, etc. Nothing that would hint evil...........evil is where I draw the line....but sick humor......I can deal with that!!
-
ok well, there is another scripture that says "to his own Maker does he stand or fall." God says that to him who knows it is sin and does it anyway, to that person it is sin. To him who does not know it is sin, to that person it will not be counted as sin. Still again, God says that if we know that something we are doing, causes a brother to stumble, not to do it. I think this would cover the "in public" times you mentioned.
Have I personally EVER flipped to a comedy channel for a few minutes when nobody was in the room? Of course. Would I sit there with my children and watch it? no. Now, the older teens used to have farting contests with their youth group friends, which I was not happy about, but it seems that very few people choose to hold to as rigid a belief structure as I choose to.
You do what is right between you and God.

Hi Lighter-
I am pretty certain that i have the correct address, and wanted confirmation before I file the Order, so that all guns are confiscated and the service is proper (need an address)- but I think that I have to go forward and trust that the address is correct- I am trying once more to enlist the distracted lawyer in the task.
Have a good sleep, and tomorrow I will report on the hot French bread and butter!
I love to hear about your goings on Lighter- it gives me motivation to push forward and then when I am free I can travel , have comedy get-togethers, etc, and do the other fun things that you do with family and friends! Thank you again!
Love,

~Laura
No debate here, Laura but..... the fact that you included the word 'genuine' when referring to the kind of Christ follower you are...... wouldn't be suggesting the rest of us,
aren't, lol?
And...... you might want to rethink your use of the word 'radical.'
When I read it.... the word 'zealot' came to mind.
I don't think that's what you were going for?
Leah.... WWJD?
I always picture him hanging out with hookers.....
embracing needful humanity...
trying to make connections.
::going off to ponder the tv selections he might make::
Now I'm wondering how he'd feel about all the choices before him.:shock:
I'm curiouse if he'd watch Sunday morning sermons..... reality tv...... daytime soaps..... or any of the sitcoms and dramas.... including my all time favorite.... SIX FEET UNDER.
And..... would he watch UGLY BETTY and GREY'S ANATOMY?
Changing..... I hope your attorney can find the focus to see far in the future on your behalf. They tend to deal with fires as they break out.... which doesn't work real well for the client, imo.
Sleep well...... I'll expect a full breakdown of the baking process, something I don't do very often (too much science involved; )

I have worked in a Christian business for 14 years. The people who I get along with are those who are "Real." Some are real straight laced. Some are real funny. Some are real and drink a glass of wine. Some are real and do not. Those that do not spiritualize everything they say and do. Do not get me wrong-we ARE spiritual and we pray everyday before we open-but we do not ACT like Christians-we just ARE. we have put aside our differences and focus on our sameness.
-
Hi Lollie,
Not uneasy, but I do have a hard time with it sometimes.
I have learned a lot and found unexpected love from
people I would have feared or assumed things about before
though, so I accept it because the people are so valuable to me.
It's just a default language that excludes me.
(Not that anyone intends to. I don't take it personally,
When people quote and trade God-talk, I sometimes feel a sense
of differentness and "minorityness"...so I watch that come and go.)
Other times, I hardly notice it because the person themself is
touching me. Other times, I love the verse.
Such good hearts here. For me, that's the bottom line.

Lighter
Leah.... WWJD?
I always picture him hanging out with hookers.....

Exactly that, Lighter,
I am not a Sunday best Hat and Coat Christian, but rather, in touch with people where they are at, in life.
Which makes the 'Tea Circle Ladies' aghast, hence, I am not an invited member to the 'tea circle' :)
And, that's okay with me.
When I talk with people, as part of a support group; whether it's a 'bag lady' or whoever in whatever circumstances, my words are (hopefully) real to them and not empty superficial cliches ....... as they have most likely, endured much of that in life.
Well that is my real hope anyway.
As for my relationship, it is personal and real, evident by my everyday behaviour, is my true hope.
Not much for pedestals, they rock too easily, and many have fallen off them.
Love, Leah

I hear you, Leah: )

I am with you, too. I was raised in the church but boy, I need authenticity. We go to a church and the pastor is soooo awesome. It is the first time in my life a pastor said "too much drinking is bad..." Not "drinking is bad."
It was like I was spiritually abused...............so much legalism..............no grace........
I love the Bible and it's verses but I do not like verses to be used as a club.......................that is the difference between an authentic Christian and a legalistic Christian. IMO
-
just fyi
I do drink wine occasionally, so I'm not a legalistic type of person either.
Happy New Year, All!

That's good, Laura... since even the apostle Paul wrote to his young protege Timothy, advising him to take a little wine for his stomach ailments.
The Bible does not name the consumption of alcohol as sinful... only drunkenness.

Oh but the way I was raised it was a SIN! It took me years to understand how brainwashed and manipulated I was growing up. The humor I enjoy is just me laughing at what I consider funny and if my perspective is skewed we can blame my major N mom!

Hi Lighter-
No french bread or salty butter- yet- I had a last minute errand, went to 3 post offices and a Federal Express, etc, finally had to go all the way down to the airporrt... I actually got the postmark I needed as a very nice woman opened a little pepphole and accepted my item for mailimg and postmarked it herself! What a hejira!
Because of New Years closures I will probably do the baking Wednesday because I want the best ingredients!
I did find out that our president signed a bill that gives public policy lawyers a break on interest on student loans and wipes them out completely if they work in defined public policy concerns for 10 years- so I am going to try for my first student loan (I have paid cash previously) and have sent the paperwork, etc! Wish me luck and Happy New Year to you and your family- you are very dear to me and I appreciate your tremendous help with the Bagworm!

Kellly,
I throughly understand what you mean. I worked with two women, both Christians, who handled their faith so differently. One was in your face, praise the lord and very judgemental. The other lived as I thought a christian would. She was the one that brought me closer to my faith. Just living it.
-
(((Changing))) You're so proactive and smartly on target...... I'm happily smiling my way through so many of your posts.
I can't express enough.... how heartened I would be if you got involved in that type of law.
What a perspective you have for grasping and addressing these types of problems.
Nice to hear that woman helped you, when she could have just kept her peephole shut, lol.
There are good worthy people in the world... and you're one of them.
Let me know how the bread baking goes.
Don't you have to spray Fwench Bwead with water while it cooks?
I'm not much of a baker, lol.

Hoppy and Lighter-
Hoppy I am tending to the hurt kitty so I will send the info on the new law to you tonight. I read it in the law school newspaper!!!I believe the changes were made is specifically for public policy lawyers, but will read it in detail before I send it...
Lighter- Thank you for your encouragement, you plucky soul- I just may bake my bread in the bread -maker, as it takes a long time to give the cat meds, and I have to prepare special broth for feeding him etc- but he is doing so much better than that wacky vet predicted!I will check in though and report, mon general!No matter what I know I will enjoy!!!!
Alone, Overcomer, Leah, ReallyMe- Happy New Year and love to all!

Hello My Friends-
You are so right- and I am guilty of not being properly Izzyfied, haven't gotten the URL or baked french bread but I will tonight...I hope- but the kitty is doing so well he raises himself up. He cannot walk but does everything else- that new vet is ridiculous. The old doctors retired and sold out to a big chain according to the December brochure touting the change as exciting- now I have to look for a new vet- UGGHHH!
I had to practically wrench my arm out of its socket to get the cat after he was injured, as he was hiding in an inaccessible area. I had no gas, no money- I have never asked for credit for vet care before. They wanted to keep him overnight, do preliminary tests for an estimated $1,600, then to a neurologist for much more- I wanted fluids, antibiotics, xrays and pain meds- they were sending the kitty home with no fluids because they had wanted to keep him and do intravenous fluids- so after 5 hours they gave him NOTHING!
I can have an extremely bad temper when properly provoked, I lost it a bit, kitty got the fluids, the vet tried to not give me the antibiotics but I kept arguing- eventually we got everything and drug ourselves home with the idiot light on reminding me that I had no gas!!!- I was so broke and exhausted.
I have been cooking a broth but now this guy is ravenous and eats like a stevedore! He has bladder function ( vet girl didn't think so ) and is pulling himself up, though the leg needs to knit before he can walk... he seems quite content, warm and happy. The doggies, especially Sammy, adore the kitty and are very sweet with him.
It does ease the shame and guilt of the lonely passing of the old fella who just passed- I used to care for him like this too, and changed my routine at a fateful time due to necessity. I have learned from that.
Thank you for asking and I will get to the many things that I have neglected- promise!
Love to you both,
Changing
-
I'm so glad that nurturing Kitty makes you feel better.
Did you get your butter?
I bet the smell of fresh baked bread in the house will lift your spirits as much as toasting up a slice and munching it with tea and butter: )
