A synopsis of the Gens; Greatest through Alpha

An interesting read.

Gen Alpha (2010-2024): Like the generations that came before them, every passing year will shape the cultural perception of who they are. In the meantime, parents get the pride and honor to help guide them to making the best choices -possible.

Well THAT Was Interesting

I attended my mother's memorial service via Zoom.   She and my father has a lot of out of state and Canadian friends and family joining the zoom meeting but the service itself was held by the cult.   I am persona non grata in the cult as I wrote a letter 20 years ago saying it's not for me.   They are required to shun me except for immediate family that has earth-shattering news.   Other than that nada.

Update to Working With Opposite Sex

RockyRoads's picture

I know I give this man too many chances. I do it because he does have good qualities. I just put all the bad things on here. But I don't think he understands relationships because of what he has been through.  We talked a lot about the lie and I told him he must be honest with me. He said he worries so much about my temper. I will admit that I do get angry but it is because he is is hard headed and I think that makes me raise my voice a little and get upset.  And just after this talk I now realized that all he thinks is a temper is my opinion not being his.

Thankful to have my home back - for now

I just want to share a moment of relief that both SD's are finally gone. At least for now. I don't know how long this good fortune will last but I will take it.

(After T-giving BM also left our area to go back to the remote, out-of-state, dark and rainy hole she moved to a couple of years ago.)

There are rumblings that YSD26 may be moving to a city within driving distance of us for an internship. For the past couple of years she has been unable to find her "career job" after graduating from college.

‘’Tis the Season

Well, well. SD called DH on TDay. But he somehow missed the call. I dunno, I haven seen the log and don't intend to.

So they've been texting back and forth. He is giddy. They are going to arrange a Zoom call. DH isn't good with his phone so might need my help to connect. Gosh, I sure hope I don't have a mani appointment at the same time.

Happy gift grab season, everyone!

forgotten belongings

stepfamily222's picture

I'm frustrated because SD 14 almost 15 forgets belongings each week. She's generally a good kid involved in extra curricular a and good in school, a bit jealous if our two kids I think and sometimes bullies but that's besides the point, we have written a list of belongings on her mirror and ask her every transition day to please comb through it and make sure she doesn't forget anything.
