We finally came back to the ranch today...and NO water. The people who are installing the solar panels for my DSon were doing something with the pump so no water until 2PM. Bobbie came to bathe Jim and she is still sick so we sent her home and Jim needs a bath badly but it was impossible because NO water. Bobbie will come back tomorrow. Just hopefully we won't get sick too. She had come at 1:30....instead of waiting until 2PM. The sides of the bed that I ordered came today and my tenants helped me put them in. So, the bed is a lot better now and hopefully he won't fall out again. Nancy: I am so glad Bill fixed your WW problem. It always strikes me as funny that the people on the phone do so much more for MEN. When they get funky with me I pull out my New York broad routine out of my pocket and tell them off. Then you should hear how they try to help me!!! Jim always laughs when I talk to them rudely. He knows immediately that I was having a problem. New Yorkers say it like it is! Sandy: I think Jeff's lawyer should have a talk with Maija....That would open up her eyes to what she has taken as a client....LOL. End of March is still a way's off but hopefully it will be over then --- in Debbie's court. I have to call the vet tomorrow about the lump on Shana's back.....She left a message wanting to know if it was better. It is gone now so that is good. Let's get into our circle of wagons now and sing by the fire "WE CAN DO THIS, YES WE CAN...WE CAN LOSE NEW POUNDS..MY THIN FRIENDS!'

Hi everyone thanks for the start Kathie. Sorry to hear your water was off and Jim didn't get his much needed bath. Happy that your neighbors could help you with the sides of the bed and Jim won't be falling out again. Wish I had that New York side. It's true I don't have the patience on the phone but he has a speaker so he can do other things while he's on a long phone call. I'm very thankful that I have him. Glad to hear the lump on Shana's back is gone.
Sandy we have freezing which will clear out at 9. It is 34 here now but we'll have rain all day. My electric bill went down $6 this month so it must have been warmer. Glad Debbie's meeting with Jeff went well. Guess I could never afford a dog. $513 would not fit in my budget. It would take the money I spend for concerts. Happy that Maija's personality has changed for the better without her Dad complaining about her personality.
I had 17331 steps yesterday. Now that I'm on that virtual trip with Sensationals on the move on facebook I'm doing a lot more. With the WW app I'm eating a lot more but healthier things. I'm never hungry with my fruits and veggies. I spend more on groceries. I'll see what my blood shows on Monday. With this lousy weather I'm not in that good of a humor so I'm not smiling as much. Today all I have planned is walking at the mall. No dancing as the teacher is going on the internet to get Zac Brown tickets at the presale. Have a great day! Hugs and blessings to us all! See you in the morning

Kathie Debbie has said many times she wishes someone would take the time to talk to Maija but when she suggests it she's told the court doesn't like bringing a child in and Debbie has to remind them that this "child" is almost 18 and wants to be heard! But it definitely makes me realize how incompetent the counselor is as she is on Jeff's side and told his lawyer she feels Maija needs to grow up and stop being so mean to her father over one small incident but has never actually asked Maija were there any other times she felt abused by Jeff. I think if any of them took the time to hear her story they would be very angry towards Jeff and not so sympathetic. This child contemplated suicide over the mental abuse she suffered and she felt so bad about the verbal abuse Debbie suffered that she has just within the past few weeks shared that with her!
On a happier note today is Debbie's birthday so tonight we're taking her, Maija and Sam for hibachi. Jim can't come as Thursdays are his daughter's dance class and he has always been the one to take her. Not sure if Sam has ever done hibachi and I did wonder how Maija would order since she's vegetarian but I saw on the menu they offer a tofu/vegetable option and she will eat tofu. She said it takes on the flavor of whatever it's cooked with and she actually likes it.

Phyl it really doesn't make any difference if Maija is called or not since Illinois is a no fault state for divorce. If there was a custody battle then yes it would make a difference but since Jeff is on probation for assaulting teenagers he would not be allowed custody plus Maija would refuse to live with him anyway. No Debbie would like people to listen to Maija so they would realize what a manipulator and liar he is. She is 18 in April so as an adult she can cut ties with him but she is already doing that by refusing to see him anymore. She has given him 10 months in counseling and nothing has changed so she told Debbie the only person benefitting is Jeff as he plays a very good victim and she's done giving him that stage.

Debbie's at home with Maija as Maija scratched her cornea so she took her to urgent care and they gave her antibiotic drops but they still want to go to dinner so hope her pain eases by then. But Debbie got a delivery of a dozen roses from Jim and they look beautiful! It's ten red and two yellow and she said the yellow represent the friendship they've built and the red their relationship. Since he did that for her birthday I wonder what he'll do for Valentine's Day? In all her years of marriage Jeff never acknowledged her birthday or Valentine's Day.
