M/B, there are certainly worse ways to spend your time!

I could definately get used to it. Tomorrow is going to be the interesting day. I need to make sure our furnace is up and running. The day will be mid 90's and down in the 30' by the time I wake up. So AC until dark and then switch the furnace on. I need to bring some plants in and cover the rest maybe throw in some old christmas lights since it will be cold (below freezing) for the next 3 or 4 days then back up to the 70's for the weekend.

Sounds like you're beginning to see the benefits of being retired.:)

I'm definately seeing the plus side. No stress, no rushing to get things done.

Yep', you're getting there!

Good morning Yard.:)

Good morning everyone. I have some sad news. I lost my son Clayton to a heroin overdose last Thursday. Please keep us in your prayers as we deal with his loss.

Todd, I'm so sorry to hear that. You are in my families prayers.

Good afternoon, Yard.

Sorry to hear the news, Todd. You and your family are in my prayers.

Todd, our most sincere condolences on your family's loss.

I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your son. I went thru the same experience 4 years ago. My son was a heroin addict and had been in detox and rehab twice, and I thought he would make it after the 2nd time, but he didn't. I found it helpful to deal with the grief by talking with people who understood drug addiction – I saw a professional counselor a couple times, and also attended Nar-Anon meetings for maybe 2 years or so (if there is not a Nar-Anon group in your area, Al-Anon could also help). People at the NA meetings understand what it is like dealing with a family member who is an addict, and even though my son had passed, I still found it helpful to sort out my feelings by attending the meetings. In an odd sort of way, I did find some peace with the passing of my son, that his struggle was finally over. I will pray for you and your family, that you will find peace too.
