If you're careful and take your time, you might be able to get good results without cross threading the hole.

Wait, that sounds dirty

Underatandable.

Not sure but I'm not thinking about that. I'm here, I'm part of it. You just do what needs to be done and go from there.

Glad you're healing, but I fear you may need to let go and move on. Not sure if that's what you want to hear, but this is sort of how I feel on that front.

In Laws aren't doing good. Mother in Law took serious relapse (and I fear malpractice) so she's back in ICU after another emergency surgery. Father in Law is a mess and so is my wife. Needless to say, everything's on back burner which is where is should be right now.

Hey, haven't said hi in a little while.

Things getting crazier here with me and not necessarily in good way.

Hope things are going great with you.

Have you two now been opening up more - pardon the pun - or does that aspect of the relationship seem like a dead end?

We're going to see Grandbaby Christopher and our daughter for Thanksgiving. 7 1/2 hrs. of driving is way too far away in this Grandpa's opinion. Unfortunately when our son-in-law gets back from Iraq (in Janurary), they will move back to Ft. Sill, Oklahoma - 14 hours away.

We haven't really talked about anything other than what's going on with Dad and Mother In Law.

But before this all happened there wasn't a whole lot of change aside from the NutraSystem which she was going to start today but will probably hold off until things settle.

I don't think this will change much between us.

Yeah, I agree with you there.

I spent the whole weekend there and my wife is taking the week off so I can work. My boss is out for an extended period with a broken kneecap and nobody has any idea when she'll be back.

It's a little taxing to say the least. He's homebound and oxygen dependant and doesn't move around much so it's a little frustrating, but nothing too extreme. Also my MIL's daughter is coming up (just to get the scorecard right, my in laws on second marriage, all kids are from their first marriages) so that should help alot, but there's alot of planning for what happens next that we've started to do but didn't think the urgency would come this quickly. But we'll manage.

As for you, what happens if he doesn't take the little encouragement? Have you thought about the possibily of continuing? Why not take your own advice and enjoy whatever happens.

Did you two have your talk?
