The security alarm went off several times last night while I’m dead asleep. I ended up and out of bed to check this issue out but found nothing wrong. I guess it was simply a strong wind blowing objects around in the yard that caused the trouble. It stopped and I did get back to bed however it took me a while to fall back asleep again.

That's a scary bummer! I've recently dealt with a smoke alarm that continues beeping even after opening two packages of new batteries so turned it off. Then the fridge started whining so while waiting for the new motor, I powered off the fridge and emptied it and used a cooler for a few things. New motor now in and it's quiet!
My peeve was yesterday watching traffic not get out of the way of fire truck and ambulance. It was a very large intersection and no reason for any vehicle to be in the way but it took nearly a minute for emergencies trucks to get through.
^^ I saw that same thing last night when driving home,,,,, the fire truck couldn't get through the intersection because of all the cars that ignored them.
Location: Finally made it to Florida and lovin' every minute!

I'm ticked at myself.
I decided it was time to suck the water out of the fountain because it was getting a bit on the green side. OMG, you won't believe what I did. I decided to drain the water, then I used the "jet" part of the hose to wash off some of the green stuff. Drained that. Then I got about 3/4 cup of clorox bleach and put it in the fountain with more water and turned it back on to let it circulate. Duh. Somebody (I'm thinking hubby, the last time he did laundry) had used that particular measuring cup for detergent. Uh huh. Bubble fountain. Nice. At least there was only a little in it, so the bubbles didn't go all over the yard and the garden. It's all cleaned out now, and I'm letting it air dry for a bit before I put more water in it.
Reading this back, maybe I should have put it in the humor thread.
OK here it goes...another venting episode for me...I am in a DEAD END relationship--have been for 6+ years...I've made a few attempts to leave, but foolishly stayed and continue to support and help this person, now I've become so depressed, down on myself and "stuck" that I have little energy/motivation to move on...I am in such a bad place mentally/physically I am really quite concerned. I won't go into detail, but I will say that the relationship is co-dependent to the extreme! I know what I should do, but am paralyzed to make a move, I keep hoping each day will bring me the willpower/energy to get the hell out and away from this person! Thanks for listening...

Ok for 6+ years you’ve spent and now figure are lost, cut the loss and move on. I can understand being “paralyzed to make a move” because you probably think you must continue this relationship, however ~ what did you do BEFORE you got co-dependent ????? You need to remember how strong and how much willpower or self-dependents YOU had BEFORE. How self-dependent were you before the past 6+ years? If it’s not working out, it’s time to get out before you waste more time. I wish you luck!

For some reason I have a picture in my mind of Lawrence Welk, I had to watch this show when I was a kid because mom & dad had control of the tv.
During its first year on the air, the Welk hour instituted several regular features. To make Welk's "Champagne Music" tagline visual, the production crew engineered a "bubble machine" that spouted streams of large soap bubbles across the bandstand. Whenever the orchestra played a polka or waltz, Welk himself would dance with the band's female vocalist, the "Champagne Lady."
Maybe you should think about changing your user name to "Champagne Lady"? lol

Thank you AksarbeN...I would like to leave w/o DRAMA and threats, but that is impossible(I've tried in the past), so I have to gather what strength and resolve I have left and just do it as safely as possible! If he had a job, it would be so much easier, but you see, he never leaves the house long enough for me to gather my belongings and go because he knows if and when I get my chance I will leave. Some may say "just pack your stuff and go" but it's not that simple, his desperation of being left to fend for himself may put me in harms way, so I have to be careful and leave safely.
