What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
Interesting, you're not alone, Lucille. We had the same experience in Colorado. When we lived near Denver, we could make it to Colorado Springs [where my brother lived] in about an hour. We would go see him all the time, but he would never come and see us. He didn't have any trouble asking for money, though. When we turned off that tap and moved to Tennessee, that was the last contact we had. It took a while to realize that when you do all the work and get nothing in return, you get played. We got played. Sometimes families are just like that.
Just this last week was being guilted about why we don't visit more. I mentioned that planes went both ways.. stopped the nag for now.
I'm sorry to hear that. It doesn't seem fair, eh? My parents, along with my MIL are the only ones who have come to visit us in 13 years, save when I was hospitalized from a wreck and my sisters came and last year when a cousin had truck trouble and had to have some place to work on the truck before going to the beach. They'd not have stopped otherwise! Heck, my brother must have known I was visiting last weekend and didn't even bother to call or visit. It's their loss.
My sisters seem to stay busy for the sake of staying busy with their jobs and college. I, on the other hand, enjoy life, with less money than they, but seemingly with more quality. I prefer this!
