You weren't foolish .... addicts are very good at pulling the wool over our eyes. My son would plead poverty ..... at first I gave him a bit of money. Then I realised I was being an enabler. He needed new shoes. I went to the store with him and he said it would be embarrassi...

Good afternoon MD....it's sad that they don't or refuse to see themselves as others do...I so wish Mallory would have taken the help we offered...her dad was even willing to move out of state with her so she could get better care...and foolish me...I thought she was getting bette...

Good morning Trix ...... the same as my son. Even after he ended up in hospital for more than 6 weeks he still wouldn't admit he had a problem. And he did the same as Mall ...... distanced himself from good friends. In the last 5 years or so he's contacted most of them. I wa...

Hi MD. We’re off to Europe at the end of October. A river cruise ???? on the Rhine. After that we’re headed to Glasgow to see our friends who live in Carluke. I’m excited! We had such a great time last year on the Danube that we just had to set up another one.

Ah ....... they were her true friends. You can't help anyone if they're not ready for it. We can all be wise in hindsight. Mall was just horribly unlucky and short of holding her hand every minute of every day ..... there was nothing you could do to change the outcome. I hop...

I'm sure the friends have oodles of happy memories of Mall. I bet they sometimes think "it could have been me." Is daughter at work today?

I'm BAAACK! I'm so sorry to be gone so long, I just get wrapped up in my little life that I hardly get on the computer any more. My 8 year old grandson is still living with me, been almost a year already. My son is in Las Vegas since May, working and trying to get a place to liv...

JimE ........ I'm convinced that after the lovely summer the UK has had ...... winter is going to be a shocker ...... but there's nothing we can do about it so we might as well make the best of it. I don't blame you for going to a place you've been before. You know you are ...

Hi MD, pretty warm up here for this time of year! No snow visible on the mountains yet which is very strange. I'm sure winter will catch up and the long misery will begin. Other than that all is good up here and I hope to get to warmer places late in January next year (quickly...

Oh my gosh ....... I see what you mean. It must have been a shock to see that. It's going to be a damper of a day that no amount of chocolate will improve. I can't begin to imagine how you feel.
