well, two of the kids have, in fact, moved out...well, as much of a move as one gets when the person moving has no real new location, so they leave nearly everything behind. I've a lot of hurt over all of this, but I'm old and won't be around forever, so I guess it is okay.

back again

wow -nearly a month's gone by since the last post. Problems at home vary but continue - one "child" working away from home for a while... in theory. Another "child" determined to do whatever she wants, but still living at home, eating food there, because she doesn't make enough money to do whatever she wants...

Meanwhile, we try to continue life as best we can ... the four of us.

Yesterday, the boys removed an old dresser that was mine 30-40 years ago.
It's made of pressed wood, with a cardboardish type material for the bottom of the drawers. It never did stay together very well, and so when my wife got a newer one, the old one is finally being "put out to pasture". Kind of sad, in a way, to see one of the last pieces of my childhood being thrown away.
