<p>I mean who do your really trust?? Who would you allow to open any drawer in your house, open any door in your house or your heart? Who would you let see your bank account or your E-Mails?</p>
<p>Trust is the most important thing in any relationship...friendship, with relatives, or romantic.</p>
<p>People walk in and out of your life....so think back and let us know how many people in your life right now do you really trust? What's the most at any one time?…</p>

As I travel the country, working hard to keep up with my friends and failing miserably, I am also talking with alot of people. Time magazine's cover story was about making schools full time. I have always been a strong proponent of this, but as I speak with people, I find very stron opposition Can we talk about this?

Ok, so my judgement isn't the best, and maybe I have a screw loose. Or two. Son and I are getting ready to head into New Mexico, Idaho, Arizona in our Miata. It's hot as hell. Any advice? Thank you. Thank you all...<br />

There are a couple of scenarios<div>1. You have young children, pets, maybe you live with several people who will not take responsibility for their 'junk'. Soon layer piles upon layer, junk mail is mixed with bills, dishes are not removed to the sink. No one takes responsibility for anything, or those that do, find it almost impossible to catch up. One day, the person sweating to keep up get sick The place takes an evil turn downward.</div>

One day, the person sweating to keep up get sick The place takes an evil turn downward.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>2. You like working in a 'disorganized area', and so do your other 3 housemates. The living space you share is very small. Before long, things start overlapping until no one person can sort anything out. Moreover, there is not enough room for all of you to be in the same living space simultaneously. The mess becomes too big for anyone to care anymore. Your pets get fleas....Your kids friends undress and leave their clothing behind.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>3.You live in an organized mess. On occassion you clean up, but for the most part you are happy. You have several housemates, 1 of which confines his mess to his room. Its an abomination, but it's his abomination. Housemate 2 needs psychiatric help. There are homework papers layered ontop of unfinished sandwhiches and cups filled with liquid that would make Louis Pasteur cringe. When the sandwich has solidified onto her pillow and a safe pathway to the bed is impossible to establish, she moves into the 'general living area'. Your fourth housemate owns very little, but doesnt give a damn about what any one else owns either. He has a habit of picking up shiny things, looking at them as he walks, then dropping them in random spots. To turn off a light he unplugs it....</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>4. All of the above plus the washer and dryer are broken, the litterboxes and fleas are out of control. One person was more or less responsible for keeping order, but that person developes a long term illness. The property is very large but the living space is small. Money is tight so forget a professional cleaning service. As several of the people are hoarders, even wrappers and packaging is saved. If a social worker showed up, your kids would be put in foster care. Finding <i>anything</i> is an hours task. Its easier to buy a new one and so money gets tighter. Fleas have infested the carpets (you know from the bite marks on your ankles) and its almost fly season. God knows when the refrigerator was last cleaned out. The major effort is spent outdoors, so that the neighbors might be fooled.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>Folks, I dont know where to begin.If we could all separate from eachother, we would. When the major income earner leaves the country on a business trip, order is restotred and maintained. No one is particularly fond of the primary income earner, but nobody can afford to pitch him out. Take <b>ALL OF THE ABOVE</b> and what do you have? Hopeless, expensive chaos in which misery, and I stress misery predominates. What do you do? Where do you start?<img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2059586857?profile=original" alt=""/></div> Calling it Quits: When Death drags its feettag:teebeedee.ning.com,2010-06-02:1991841:Topic:9761702010-06-02T00:16:03.876ZMother Sanity (JackieRodzinski)http://teebeedee.ning.com/profile/JackieRodzinskiMotherSanity
Serious Stuff, folks.<div>Not everyone has the luxury to drop dead after fois gras and toast; not everyone gets to drift off in their sleep. </div>
<div><br></br></div>
<div>Some folks get death sentences that include years of hospitalization, pain, suffering. There are those of us who chose to stay and fight (hats off to you my love, M), and others who do not.</div>
<div><br></br></div>
<div>This is a very personal decision, a very real and unique discussion.</div>

<div><br/></div>
<div>This is a very personal decision, a very real and unique discussion.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>I am 52 years old and I lived the life of fifteen sailors trapped in a whore house. I am still filled with joy and laughter, compassion , love, lust (ghmhm). My children are almost grown, my marriage is over. Recently I've recieved several reliable medical opinions that I will require spinal fusions and joint replacements, that, if placed end to end, will last for years. Sans PT.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>Now, I've never been one for pain and I've never been one for drugs (unless, ofcourse, they were not medically indicated.) I hesitate to make this personal because its a decision that many of us will have to face at one time or another. But how can you discuss something more personal than death?</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>Would you consent to live under these conditions? Why? Why not? What if you just could NOT stand another minute of pain? Even if the cure came the day after you were dead, and the waiting was just not worthwhile? And what, how could would you tell your family and friends? What for the ones who steadfastly refused to accept your decision? All matters of sin aside, please share your thoughts with me, and I will do the same, to the best of my courage and ability...

<div><div>Really, folks.... The weather is either hot as hell or cold as hell. Pure Hell. Many</div>

<div> etc cost $8 bucks to get across. (Lake Ponchetrain causeway is $3, a much, much longer</div>

<div><br/></div>
<div> Most everyone, will say they trust others little, if at all. Oh, we make a show of</div>
<div> it, but with people peering in your garage and complaining to the point that the</div>
<div> teenagers are peeing in their cars....The cynicism, the cynicism, the cynicism cynicism</div>
<div> cynicism cynicism, can be overwhelming.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>Ever drive in NJ or CT? It's easier to drive in Pakistan. Every time I turn around</div>
<div>there's a new law or a new camera enforcing that law. Why, why, do we live here? The</div>
<div>cancer rate in NY, NJ, the quacks that call themselves MD's....? Aw, the hell with all</div>
<div>of it.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>The friendliness of Southerners is so moving. The housing is cheaper. And if you cant</div>
<div>find a job in the hurricane ravaged gulf area, well, we call that D-I-S-A-B-I-L-T-Y. Its</div>
<div>a joy to think it might be possible to let your guard down, even for a disillusioned</div>
<div>moment. (Well, men change there minds all over the world....)</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>The traffic? I remember traveling 1.5 hours each way to work, in 90 mph hour traffic,</div>
<div>bumper to bumper, twice a day, every day. (The Meritt Pkway). I remember sitting on the</div>
<div>same road for 6 hours in a snow storm....and the BASTARD I worked for....</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>Ok, Tom has a job and he makes 6 figures. But he hates it! And the cost of living, the</div>
<div>property taxes ($8000-9000/yr, here) are hardly worth the corrupt school administrations</div>
<div>they keep in BMW's.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>The leaves change color. Good. You can download that off the internet. LaGuardia Airport</div>
<div>is sheer terror to fly in/out...god only knows how long it'll take to drive to JFK</div>
<div>(traffic) and Newark, well, that place holds a special place in the heart of all New</div>
<div>Yorkers.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>Ok..no hurricanes, real ones anyway, but Noreasters that cause the damage other people</div>
<div> get 'aid' for. Then theres the snow storms, which are particularily delightful, esp</div>
<div> those heavy, slushy 12-24 inch ones that freeze over for the next two months.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>Whats my best guess? Why do we do it? My guess: ignorance, speculation and HOPE. Lots</div>
<div>and lots of HOPE.</div>

<p>Lets think about how important it is to be around our family. I have read several questions in Q&A about childhood and the closeness our families are/ were to us.</p>
<p>When my husband was discharged from the Navy we decided not to return to the home state but to go our own route. I see now in my children, that a week once a year was not enough to instill love and respect for the family that lived 3 states away.I would never go the same route again.</p>

Most of the people on tbd Ning are old enough that they are at least thinking about retirement.<br />
There are many things that must be considered before and after retirement. So many, in fact, that writing articles and books giving advice about retirement has become a lucrative field of employment.

There are many things that must be considered before and after retirement. So many, in fact, that writing articles and books giving advice about retirement has become a lucrative field of employment. Just look in any Barns and Noble or other major book store. Even the supermarkets are selling magizines and books devoted to the subject. I'm not qualified, nor do I want to give you advice on how to retire. What I propose to do is; give you a chance to start thinking about where you would want to live in retirement.<br />
So, I will examine some of the things that I am considering. Then, I would like to read your ideas and questions. I'll start.
