Thank you for responding Ichbi. I wasn't sure anyone would respond to this thread anymore. I don't know why anyone wouldn't, but I'm feeling really pessimistic about that right now.

If you haven't heard, my dad was laid off of his job, so we are going to have to cut any unnecessary spending until he gets hired for another one. Mom suggested he go fishing once he got his ducks in order, and applied at a few places, but Dad says the fishing isn't really all that good right now in the area of Florida we usually go camping at.

I'm also dealing with my elderly grandparents. Grandpa just got out of the hospital not too long ago after having some great difficulty breathing. He used to smoke a lot and now is paying dearly for it as his lungs aren't working at 100% anymore. He's been on oxygen therapy for a while, but doesn't like to use it when he's in bed, sleeping. I guess the sleeping mask for oxygen at night isn't comfortable for him or something. However, I think that, after having to go to the hospital, he's using oxygen at night now.

Also, have that nasty problem with the ants in the pipes, only to have about 100-200 or so pour out of the showerhead with the water when I took a shower night before last (I'm too nervous to try another shower just yet). I guess that'll have to be dealt with before too long. I'm going to scrub the bathroom down top to bottom tomorrow, probably with some Clorox bleach or something. Maybe even dip the shower head in a bleach and water solution for a few minutes to clear it out of any remaining ants. That reminds me, I should leave the doors open when cleaning so I don't get overcome with the bleach fumes.



I wish I had someone to talk to about all of this, not a therapist per say, but just a friend. Ya know?
