wow...hi all!! i got the good news on ma vie's new house this afternoon...congratulations, honey!!!
i guess i've been gone for quite sometime, eh? it took me an hour just to read this thread, and i didn't even know there was a forum like this? well, anyway, mama is wearing her 2nd cast...bright red!! i thought it would help her not walk on it if it stood out, but no help.
peter bought me a puter for the downstairs, and we now have a router, so even my laptop works anywhere on the house and is on road runner, so i will be getting caught up soon.
thanks for all of your concerns!!

Welcome back Meiyu. I sure missed you, as did many others judging from the response.

Mavie, if that doesnt beat all. What marvelous news...I am ecstatic for you.

Aimee...You are something else...yes, let's think turkey out of him and think of something really good here...
His morale is very very bad these days. thank you for your good thoughts and encouragement. It has meant a lot to me.

MaVie..how wonderful!!!
Your new home sounds like a dream.....
Can't wait to see some pics of it..and hear all about your plans for the gardens.
Some good has come of your unfortunate experience with your
neighbour. I am very happy for you.
Cheers,
Carol

Mavierose and Meiyu,
You are in my mind.
All will be okay!!

(((((MaVie))))) Such good news has warmed my heart and soul this Sunday morning! I am doing the happy dance here for you and will pray that you can get out without further incident from your neighbor. I continue to wonder why the police haven't taken her away. I will pray for her soul as she is not able to see what her body is doing. :) Lani

thank everyone. am as elated as all of u are! cash flows changed hands Thur. 11/14/02. the only hang-up now is the owner of the house we are suppose to move into is not totally finished, but we were informed they hoped to be out by the end of this month. hopefully the cash flow will help them hasten the project on their new home. we are keeping our fingers cross that we be able to move in and around the 1st week of Dec.

Lani, the schitzo is definitely has gone bunkers! the other day, for the 1st time, i tried to salvage, whatever i can and move plants in pots. she was watching me like a hawk! on the side, she made comments, i do not have the right to move the plants as she had encurred expenses and hard labor planting. duh! she just move in last year, i was here 4 yrs. ago and those plants has been on the ground ever since, with the exception of the brugs. i paid her no mind, proceeded to my work. she just went on and on....

i have been busy packing stuff inside the house, trying to be organized and be ahead of the game. i wanted so bad to get out of here like i should have been out from last week.

MVR, your blood pressure is going to improve big-time when you finally move! What a weird neighbor.

thank WR, am sure i will be far healthier after the move. all the work awaiting to be done... the exercises attribute to all the digging and planting.

i have already bought quadrill extra large pads, and some designing rulers to keep me busy designing during the colder months when unable to go outside.

oh yeah!!!! finally, i will be able to create my own tropical garden, since i have the owner's approval to plant to my heart's desire. whopppeeeeee! happy gardening next year! of course taking into consideration minor gliches here and there. but with God's grace and Mother Nature working along with me, nothing is impossible!

I am so happy for you! It will be a great joy for you to finally be able to do all the gardening you want, including having a tropical garden. Hope you get to move in soon.

Just keep on keeping on MaVie. In your new home you will have such peace that this will soon be in the back of your head and you will be so happy working in your yard that will not be torn up by this poor soul. I am happy for you and will continue to pray that you will be safe and strong to conquer the devil that lives near you. God Bless.

MaVie, I am sorry I didn't see this earlier! I am praying for you, that the moving goes very quickly and easily. Also that you get dream neighbors in your new home: after this nightmare, you sure deserve them. ((( hugs ))) and all my very best.

MVR, So happy for you. A wonderful place to walk, plant and think. Congratulations.

Wow, glad to see things are finally coming together for you! Hooray!

thanks everyone. we are looking forward to moving soon.

tonight, i heard from Meiyu. am afraid she has been ill the past few days. she says, accdg to her doctor she might have a dislocated disk around her neck. they won't know for sure until they perform an MRI on her, hopefully soon. i guess, when it rain in one's life, it does pour hard sometimes. i feel bad for Meiyu but my hands are tied. could not help in any manner except to offer prayers for her and her ailing mother whose been suffering from Alzheimers.

Meiyu's ailment i would attribute to all the hard work she did on the pond she built in her backyard.

Oh, ouch. That's got to hurt. Thanks for the update, MaVieRose.

u're welcome Kimberly. u are right, she says she has been in pain all these times since she last posted here in DG. she will try to get on line soon, but no promises, as the pain does lingers on.

Oh, poor Meiyu. I will certainly pray for her. Will she have to wear a Halo?

Kathy, she posted this a.m. ... http://davesgarden.com/t/330587/ , http://davesgarden.com/t/364630/

Thank you for posting those hyperlinks, MVR.

didn't want anyone worrying, as much as i do not want to worry myself. my pleasure WR :)!

I am so sorry to hear about Meiyu problems and I hope she will be alright and back soon.

MaVie I am so sorry to hear about your garden and plants, I know how it feels to have someone destroy your garden. I will pray for this lady and hope that they well put her some where so she can't hurt herself or anyone else.
I have to take my hat off to you for your restraint, I don't know if I could have been so nice about it. I know I would have tried to stop her, my anger would have over ruled my common sense and I would have knocked her on her behind...lord forgive me but that's the truth.
I do hope that you find a better place to live and if you need any help with seeds to start over let me know and I will share what I have.

Thanks Kit.

of late, i have not heard from Meiyu. i hope she is ok.

as a young child, my grandma used to preach "never to fall for the bait of a lunatic person, or u'd be tagged far worst than they are!" i've tried to retain grandma's preaching, but not too easy to restrain. yes, i did get upset, but i tried to rationalize things... she is not worth going to jail for or waste my breath or energy. her ignorance and lack of formal training shows on her actions... even in her so called "normal" state!

hopefully within the next 2 weeks, i will ge gone from this hell... start anew in a better place. i am now busy packing things up. looking forward to next planting season!

It's a sad and odd thing that folks with mental illness and/or addictions will not keep taking their medications. They seem to either think the doctors are trying to control their minds (when in fact, the medication allows them to control their own minds) or they think they are well and can try the substance they are addicted to, again, and are able to control their intake.
There are so many ways the human mind can delude itself...

Woodspirit, many people with mental problems also have substance abuse problems. One problem makes the other worse, and there is no end to the spiral of self-destruction. Sadly it also causes other people problems, family, neighbors, innocent bystanders.

A big reason many people discontinue their medications is the side effects. They can be from minor inconveniences to life-threatening (blood clots, kidney failure, etc.) depending on the type of medication and other physical problems the person may have.

MaVie, I know that all good things are just around the corner for you!! We will all help you start over with a wonderful new garden, and a new outlook for a bright future!

"eyes"

MaVie I am here if you just need someone to talk to and my offer of seeds still stands.
You've got mail.

LL, I agree that side effects are important, but I have found that the main reason people go off their drugs is self-delusion....

Oh, my gosh! What horrible and wonderful things have happened here!!! MaVie, I'm so sorry for what you've gone through, but for every ounce I'm sorry there's a pound of HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!!!!! That is so wild that Aimee's technique worked! So, tell us, is the house just as you pictured it? Sounds like the grounds are. ;) How wonderful!!!!!! I need to think more about my little house and garden that I want. ;)

Meiyu, I hope you are doing better now, bless your heart! I think I saw you post on another thread that you are. Man, it sucks having to be in bed that much and go through all the things you're going through. I hope that things get still even better for you and your family soon! :)

i received an email from Meiyu the other day. accdg to her, she has gone from bad to worst. she is now dependent on the medication she is taking for pain. she too, is very concerned about her mother, since Meiyu can not care for her mom due to the severe pain she suffers. she said she will call the following day, but have not heard from her since then. i hope everything is ok on her end. worried and concerned here, on top of all i have to endure on my end.

Eyes, do u have Meiyu's phone #? if u do, can u pls e-mail it to me privately. thanks. am really worried, this is so unusual not to hear from her :(.

Praying for Meiyu, and for you, too.

Thanks WR, i do appreciate it, but afraid Meiyu needs it more than i do. i maybe stressed, but not bed ridden and in pain like she does. Meiyu and her mom sure could use all the prayers and special thoughts

I'm back online after several months absence. there seems to be confusion between Jodie and myself-Joydie1. Jodie is Carol and I'm Joyce.

I'm glad to hear that Carol is doing better after her surgery. Sorry to hear MaVie about all of your troubles. Meiyu I hope your mother continues to mend.

I myself had surgery on my knees. If you remember about this time last year I stepped in a pothole on a city street, fell and injured both my knees. I've had surgery and my knees are actually worse now than before. Part of the problem is I have arthritis and the surgery triggered my arthritis AGAIN! I'm suffered with pain from both.

The economy here in Ontario is very bad. The electric utility company held a huge billion dollar deficit and the government decided to sell the utility company to the private sector. Once privately owned our electric rates more than doubled! Can you imagine bills coming in for more than $300 just for lights in your home and basic needs such as being able to even have hot water and to use one's stove to cook?

I struggled for months trying to keep up and finally had to do some major refinancing just to make ends meet each month. Internet was a luxury that had to be deferred. Just recently the government capped the electric rates and made them retroactive back to May of this year. Myself, I'm glad to see this as I know I'm one of thousands of people on fixed monthly incomes.

Its taking me awhile to catch up on what's new here at Daves's but just thought I'd pop my head in to see how other's are doing.

Bless all of you,
Joydie1 (Joyce)
