Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
Thank you. We have motion lights all around our house because my brother has tried to break-in the house and the garage. But my Jeep is to far from the house for the motion lights to go off.
Plus, we are getting a new Ring motion light for the driveway because I have a feeling the longer I won't let him into the house or/and I don't talk to him the more he is going to get mad and the more he is going to do! It just sucks!! I hope the Ring catches him!
Send,
I haven't heard or seen the DIY motion activated sprinkler. I will look into it. Thanks for the laugh! My brother would be mad as a wet hen! I will look into it.
NHWM,
Thank you. The thing is, I don't want to be 'that person' who sends her brother to jail, but he just won't get the point! And the worst part is that people don't believe me. They don't see him for what he is...a liar, a thief...a drug addict! But I have no choice. God knows that my brother doesn't care about me or our mother.
I just can't let him finance his drug habit with my parents things or getting my mother's money (what little money she gets).
Would any of you report your brother for egging your car if you were in my shoes?
Thank you all for your support and ideas!!
I am so sorry that you have to deal with your brother’s shenanigans. I hope it’s resolved soon. Do whatever you have to do. I wouldn’t hesitate to try and catch him in the act either. Then report it.
I have kept my son's hand print he made in kindergarten.
Clearing my collections, I asked hubs if I should keep my son's baby teeth.
Hubs said, "Keep them for the dna".
Have you seen the DIY motion activated sprinkler with online instructions to use as a security measure?
A perpetrator would get wet, and mad as a wet hen.
Would you tell anyone?
Would you be scared?
Would you be a little bit c h i c k e n ?

All I think about is 'what is he going to do when my mother passes away'? I have been thinking about fixing up the house and sell it just to get away from him! Maybe move out of state or maybe just out of the city. I don't know and it doesn't matter at this time. He told me that if I leave him alone he will leave me alone, but I never have or do anything to him. I just simply don't care enough about him to bother. He just doesn't get it!!!
This is my whiny moment!
Nowadays they can have my knitted goods for Christmas and like it.
Oh, I see. I am doing crochet with beads now. It’s fun!
I am using nylon thread for it’s durability. I like cotton but not for my recent projects.
I am also working on some projects with wood. I like painting. I’ve painted them, added hooks for keys and other things.
Every time I finish something my daughters want it and I have to start again to make one for myself.
Just thought of something. Look for conversion references to clarify the differences.
Wonderful news about the new addition in your family. Babies are so sweet.
we poor Canadians 🤯
So happy for you and your family, CWillie! 🍼
I did get the blanket finished Send, I think I posted that somewhere??? I probably won't get down to see her for a few weeks, and then it will be a nail biting drive down with the rest of the family (BIL driving on the freeway 😰)
Nephew 'thinks' it's DONE, when it all has just begun!!!
🍼🍼🍼🍼🍼🐥🐤🐥🐤
Did you get a blanket made for the gift?
In typical male fashion nephew's text was brief - "Done. All good. No pictures yet".
Always good to hear the expectant news of a new baby being born
to your Nephew this morning, CWillie!
I would appreciate your contribution to answering this short survey!

Congrats to your nephew Willie!
The one who moved away (nephew#2) and his GF are still carrying on with their long distance relationship. He's really racking up the air miles 😶.
is this the nephew that moved far away for work?
