To: Lakeside Granny; weston

on my phone.. wifi went south. On way out shortly. will stop at office and pay for another day. Going to UPS. Weston connected with me and suggested that the boxes would be more reasonable from them if they were large and heavy. They are

Actually two boxes. 12 bottle wine boxes I picked up at store Sat. Empty unfortunately LOL... One is for son Jeff. one is for his GF. Both hard luck cases who found each other and saved each other. I have been so fearful of Jeff / suicide. She has given him joy and support and he saved her life. He met her 2 years ago when he was in apt. She was ready to deliver her first child. Her husband beat her savagely and other abuse..mental etc. Jeff stepped in. He got her clean (my son is very anti drug) .. she was on various drugs and drinking too heavily (and pregnant). No parents on scene she was raised by her aunt and uncle. Here mom died when she was 6 of drug overdoes. Father committed suiide a few years later.

My son has been supporting them by donating plasma 2 times a week. She works at a fast food place. Jeff just recently started delivery at pizza place. Kills him pain wise with the improperly healed ankle.

so I did go to the thrift shop and got her some things - warm things. They are in his trailer which for now is unheated. They want to get power/heat back on. Basic toiletries. gloves, socks, warm hats.

and a lot of prayers.

when I am on my phone using the mail via FR is hard so please if you are willing to help, post here. Anytime I post or go to mail I must recheck in - seriously. Im logged out immediately after I do anything

No takers yet. 3 days available to ping the list.. Wed, Fri, Sun.

NOW it is not the end of the world if the list doesn’t get pinged. I am so weary Simply do not want to have to go out and find wifi in a cold van to do this. I am sorry if I sound selfish.

Off for now..

hugs/love from cold/wet NE Ohio

I’m not selfish at all, you have done a lot for this thread. Everything! I can do Wednesday or Friday, but I won’t be doing pictures or anything fancy. I have to do whatever I can do with limited dictation only. I won’t be using Dragon. So you can use me as a backup if you like.
