sunday morning my mother had a stroke..... my sisters instead of being there decided during the time were waiting in the er to find out what has happened, they should argue..... so i went outside, one of my sisters never showed up as she was to busy doing church things, she has told me to never speak to her again as i took it upon myself to call her church, and ask the pastor to ask her why she couldnt come to the hospital, i find it very disturbing that she claims all her religion (wont have anything to do with me because i am wiccan) but yet she cant be there for her own mother through something like this, because our mom smokes!!!! yet she can have our mom take her daughter back and fourth to work!!!!!! i have been working half days on my days off to keep my hours up to pay my bills, and still be able to go to the hospital.... yet me and my sisters(i have 3) 2 are usually there during the time i am, we never speak, so i have chosen to go while they arent there, to try to keep the tension down in front of our mother.
ok im done with that part of venting.....
the second part....
i got new neighbors..... who are stealing electricity and cable... i dont have cable because i very rarely watch tv, i had a satelite and had it turned off in order to get a truck... which i get next week.... then january i get my satelite turned back on.... i call the light compnay and cable compnay... the cable company is looking into it.... the light company says they will make them turn discconnect the wiring, and they will have a "large bill" nothing else will happen, now im sorry i have 24 animals who live with me and not a pretty light bill, but i pay my light bill and i think charges should be pressed for the theft of the electricity, the man who owns the property is having them evicted, thing that really is bugging me is the fact they tapped into my phone lines while i was at work and used my phone, thankfully my phone has a long distance block so they couldnt make and calls, but i just dont understand how people just dont care anymore, or is it just me?????????
sorry for ranting i felt the need to type.

I hope your mother feels better, and thanks for sharing your story. I hope all turns out well for you.

she is getting better, strokes just take time.

Sorry to hear it. Is it just me or did your mother also have a stroke a few months ago? When I moved into my new house the people here before us had been stealing cable. I "forgot" to tell the cable company for a month or two but I did the right thing and started paying the bill

yes she had a stroke a few months ago, came out of that one ok, this one she cant use her right arm, but they are working with her.

hey, i hope everything goes well with your mother.it is amazing how a person can get better after a stroke, i have seen people have a complete recovery with time.i am Wiccan also, by yhe way.

blessed be to you, and merry meet.
yes i have seen it also my mom with her first stroke she was back to driving her car 3 weeks after haviing it, you couldnt even tell she had had one.
the week before she had this stroke she had told me and my sister she told she had had another one, we tried to take her to the dr and she wouldnt go..... then she had this one and still has no use of her right arm..

Truly sorry to hear about your mother's stroke.

As to the rant; sometimes you just have to vent. There is an old truism that you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your relatives. The same goes, unfortunately, for your neighbors.

My best advice is to just ignore them. You cannot make someone care, and you cannot make someone honest. But you do not have to let their behavior wear on you. You of all people should know that the Law of Three will eventuallly take care of this. And maybe, if you are lucky, you will be there to see it when it happens.

Bright Blessings,
Leslie

funny you mention that.... i kept thinking about the law of 3...
i was to the point with my job i gave notice that i was quitting, they kept talking to me not to quit, telling me i was one of the best workers they have because they can tell i love my patients, and my patients even know they were begging for me not to quit, i finally marched into my boss's office and told her about the law of three, i was trying to quit because of the negativity in the building, no one seems to care, except payday, then everyone acts different...... i told her i couldnt quit because i wanted to see the place change and with my leaving i was feeding into the negavtivity.....now it seems things are falling into place..... that was what i wanted to happen to begin with, just didnt know how to go about it.

I'm sorry to hear about your Mother. I hope she is back to 100% soon.

Also, you said...

" i find it very disturbing that she claims all her religion (wont have anything to do with me because i am wiccan)"

What a shame that religion is used as an excuse to divide families. Why can't people see that any religion that teaches prejudice and hate is no religion at all.

Many of my family have not spoken to me in about 10 years because I don't follow their religion. But I will continue to try and talk to them and I will always love them even if they have been brain washed to hate their own flesh and blood.
I can think of nothing as evil as religion.

Anyway, sorry about my own rant...I guess we both just needed to get it out

i know exactly what you mean
