That house is fantastic, Janet! What a great deal for Ricky, and only 4 miles from you! It looks brand new....? I hope it works out!

I am glad to hear that Gary is feeling better, Gayle. I would also feel better when he is around! Then, you don't have to worry so much.

Betsi, I am so sad about Dustin. It is very hard when your child is ill....I know how I worry about Jessie's MS. He is in my prayers.

Diana, I went to Alanon years ago because I could not deal with my SIL's alcoholism. It helped me a great deal. I can understand Glen's feelings, especially since Damon is living there. Would Glen consider going to Alanon? Probably not, since men are more resistant than women to these types of things. They have some very good publications. Maybe you can read some, and it might help you talk to Glen. One thing I did learn there was to detach from the problem, but not from the person. There are other things to love about Damon, I am sure. Steve is not drinking now, but he does fall back every so often. It is disruptive to himself, Jessie, the children, and me, but I have learned to love him around that problem. I do keep away a lot when he is drinking though. He is not a nice drunk, like many alcoholics. Another thing I learned was "one day at a time." I am so sorry for all of you.

Brandon was not feeling better yesterday. I can't get Jessie on the phone, so I don't know what is going on. For all I know, they went to the doctor, or he feels better. I hate when she does that!
