Judy hope you get to talk to your sister before the night is out...just called mine...

OMG DIPLOMACY doesn't work with my MOTHER!!!

Didn't she go visit Sharon, asked her (after Sharon told her a zillion times her money was tied up and not going to give it to her) when she thought she'd be able to get the money...

Sharon said 'mom, I told you NO money, it's tied up-you'll have to find another way'...so mom starts with the guilt trip, 'you don't trust me, I can't believe you don't trust me..' so Sharon said, 'Mom, you know that's not true, I've loaned you money many times and always got it back (because mom's money is tied up..lol) so that's not good enough for her, nope, says to Sharon, 'well I look forward to going to Florida every year, not getting any younger but guess I'll not go this year, dog needs this operation' but Sharon held her ground, said 'sorry'...knowing that mom won at Rama (because I told her) she asked mom about the concert she went to, asked mom if she gambled any, mom said she had earlier and won quite a few jackpots, so Sharon, feeling brave said 'mom, that would be a good start toward the operation'..OMG she said mom left in a huff, said Sharon didn't trust her and off she went...

I JUST CANNOT believe after I tried so diplomatically to get it across to her that this was cruel, putting stress on an already stressed out person...

Sharon is being transfered tomorrow aft. to the other hospital, not sure what time the operation is on Tuesday..Sharon must be feeling a little stronger, said that most likely mom would visit while she' under and get her to sign a cheque..lol...

Then Sharon proceeds to tell me she called Brian about 10 times asking him to come to the hospital (less than 10 minutes away-he who has her car) and he's not come to pick up all her things that she cannot transport to the other hospital..

this is so overwhelming, how pleased that I'm in my corner of the world...

we ended our conversation with Sharon telling me to call mom and ask her for $$$ to help pay for my phone bill because I've been calling at least once if not twice a day to talk to her...unless I bark I'm doubtful she's give me any...(we're just kidding of course)..

Very tired tonight, know it's early but I'm off to bed...

Will respond to all of your posts tomorrow once I'm at the office AND can think clearly...

Did manage to sew this many Santa outfits..
