Very sad. Youth is a minefield.

I had a conversation with my daughter last summer, just after she told me she was moving and I told her her my biggest achievement was getting her to adult hood, fit and healthy and independent enough to our make a move on her own, she thought I was mental.

She was working with this young man Friday night, she'd worked most of the Christmas run up shifts with him. Her coworkers and management team decided not to tell her until this morning as yesterday when everyone else found out was her birthday. I wouldn't be surprised if we find that the young man was under the influence.

I had every emotion at 8am this morning when she called - worry, (at the time she called) followed by panic (when I heard her crying), relief (that she was ok) and then sorrow for those poor poor parents. It's so very sad.

That's so tough Piff Poff & very sad for the boy and his parents.
Hopefully you may get to hug your daughter soon .

Trying to sort a trip for spring, if not hopefully summer :fingerscrossed:

I certainly know why the heater can't keep the place warm, and why the electric bill is so high. Poor poor insulation, and lots of cold air seeping in through the window frame, and along the bottom of the wall where the wall and floor meet.

Along with the previous found places where cold air comes through.

And to top it off, apparently the boiler which in the garage can't heat the water well in these cold temps, warmest I could get was luke warm 85F water tonight from the hot tap.

For a 3 year old building, it's sure is a piece of junk...

Yes that is so very sad, poor poor kid.

A friend of my son was arested yesterday selling drugs at school. I was really shocked. My son wasn't, which is more shocking. Why can't kids just stay at a 'safe' age.....

It would be so lovely to keep them wrapped in bubble wrap! I was talking to a childless (through choice) older friend and she was shocked when I said if I had my time again I wouldn't have had a child. It is so scary being a parent and those teenage and early adulthood years are the scariest.
