We become different, and volatility lurks under the surface. Try and allow grace, both for others and yourself. I'll let my nephew know. tim hasn't spoken four words since last night. Peter's behaviour was beyond shocking. Thankfully, my mother wasn't there to witness it. 5

MichaelS36 Posted March 5 Posted March 5 Thank you @Reader1810 and @Kitt If Peter feels he should reach out, I'll talk to him. Otherwise, all the best to him. It was an inappropriate place to bring up what he did and how he did it over what is a toy. tim did say something to him about it and his behaviour, and Peter didn't much like hearing the truth. tim now of course feels guilty for speaking up. Though he did nothing wrong. The ball is in Peter's court, he can do what he wishes with it. Thank you for your concern. It's good to know you're here. 4

Sending hugs to tim x Thank you, chris. Thanks for your support. tim will appreciate it. Life is a battle for tim and Peter was downright rude. tim especially took Peter under his wing when Peter came to live with us while he was in University here. It's not the first time he's hurt tim. It may very well be the last. Family or not. 5

Though he did nothing wrong. tim is a truly kind and considerate soul, so I can understand his mindset. Having said that, I'm glad he has you and Dan to support him as he sorts things out, and hopefully, realizes you are correct and he's done nothing wrong. 2
Kitt Posted March 6 Posted March 6 I am sure there is a lot here we are not aware of, but nothing excuses intentionally hurting a gentle soul like tim. If he spoke up, what ever was happening must have been beyond reasonable. Love and support to you both. 3
Mikiesboy Posted March 6 Author Posted March 6 Thank you ... all of you, @Reader1810 @Kitt @chris191070 and @Wayne Gray i'm okay. Just needed time to process. i was all doom and gloom at first, but some time, some sleep makes things better. i will just leave it alone. Peter needs to be the one who says something first. If he doesn't, he doesn't. He's a grown man, a doctor, who i hope is more mature at work. in any case, i have some poetry to work on and some stories ... and new bread pans to use! Have a good day everyone! Happy Wednesday. 5

Popular Post Mikiesboy Posted March 7 Author Popular Post Posted March 7 Well... poetry submission for the Anthology is done. That's always nerve wracking for me. i need a valium. LOL Happy Thursday! Looks nice out there today. Blue skies, no howling winds ... Enjoy your day! 6
Mikiesboy Posted March 8 Author Posted March 8 It's finally Friday! I read this but had to read it again...and think about it. I ended up agreeing. LOL 2
drown Posted March 9 Posted March 9 How is everyone doing today? Berlin is sunny today with clears skies and temperatures around 9ºC/42ºF. Going to cook myself some good food and prep food for the week. Need to save money for the drought that's about to hit me while I prepare my journey from employed to self-employed. And home-cooked food is healthier anyway… for the body and soul. 1 3
Mikiesboy Posted March 9 Author Posted March 9 It's windy and raining in Toronto. Temperature is about 44f. So overcast and grotty. Cooking your own food is the best option if you have the skills. We need to bring back teaching those skills in school. They are important in the face of the cost of food and the health/nutrition issues with highly processed food. Let's not forget skimpflation as well! I have no idea what to make the Men for dinner other than grilled cheese sandwiches and soup. Saturdays are supposed to be a less stressful day with something light for dinner. 4
drown Posted March 9 Posted March 9 I will prepare a tomato, cucumber, and millet salad and pair that with some grilled cheese sandwiches. Thank you for the inspiration, @Mikiesboy. In fact, I found my sandwich maker recently and it has to be used! 4

Mikiesboy Posted March 9 Author Posted March 9 okay... beef stew is in the oven stewing.. for a few hours .. i couldn't fit it in the IP. Maybe i just need a bigger IP now that there are more of us.. It'll do nice in the oven though. It's for dinner tomorrow and maybe Tuesday if it's not all devoured! 4

Please enjoy the food someone's cooking for you right now. The neighbor with the dogs invited me for cupcakes today. That was a brilliant start. Now I'm heating up a paprika tofu stew I made a week ago. I feel so responsible. 5
