Today was not good. My son woke up and wants nothing to do with moving to California. I have no idea what happened. He wont talk to me. He was totally psyched about going out. So I cancelled my flight, made hotel reservations and I'm driving the dogs to the West Coast. All my sons clothes and everything else is already on its way to Cali, so I'm not sure what he's going to do. A friend of his just died from a herion overdose, he was 20.
I suggested he move in with his mother, and if he decided he wanted to come out, I'll send him a ticket. He doesn't really respect his mother, and their relatioship is pretty shaky. Its not an ideal situation for sure. I hope he finds his way.

Yes Grower13 he does. I know he is having a hard time with leaving. She is away at college so they don't see much of each other. She doesn't want him to go, but I don't think its fair to expect him to just wait around. She has 3 more years to go. If it is meant to be, they will connect then. He has decided to come out, but not drive my car out or take the dogs. He told me wanted to drive cross country, then felt like it would be overwhelming. So I took up the challenge, left Tuesday. Made Zanesville, OH first day. In St Louis tonight. The girls are being so good.
I did a cross counrty trip when I was his age, actually I was younger. The anti bicenntenial tour as we called it. 1976 2 of my friends and I rode motorcycles from the East Coast, to Alaska, then down the pacific coast to SoCal then across the Southwest all the way to FL then up the Eastcoast.

Son flies out and furniture get delivered. I check for the genetics stashed away in the boxes...nothing. Movers stole everything.

No Ozzy. I told movers I want $25K. Movers in cali are showing me pix of their wax and we check the box with genetics and nothing. I told them the truth that it was seeds. They filled out the forms for the claim. I might not be able to prove who did it, but I was robbed and that's what's the insurance is for.

When I set out on my move to Cali, there were 2 important things to me. My son and the girls. I am gutted about my beans, but I can get more beans. I learned a long time ago that fate and karma can have their own directions and there is nothing you can do about it. At one time or another we all face moral dilemmas. Many people say, I would do this or that until it comes time to actually do it. I am not happy, but I am not mad.

When I was in high school, I dated 1 girl all thru school. It was spring time and I was looking forward to Prom and graduation. I was standing in the park directly across from the school, smoking a cigarette before home room. About 10 ft away was my best friend and another guy talking about going on the marching band trip to Canada. I wasn't really listening to them, when this guy tells my friend how he is going to drug my gf and rape her on the band trip. I could not believe what I heard. I went over to them and asked my best friend if he said what I thought he said. He just nodded. I hurt that guy, bad enough an ambulance took him away. Everybody in the school knew what happened and nobody said anything to me about it. The band trip comes. GF goes on trip and comes back and doesn't want to talk to me. So she confesses that she hooked up with the twin brother of the guy I beat up. I asked if he forced himself on her, she laughed and said she raped him. We've stayed friends for more than 40 years.

hanging on to anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die
