Sorry to hear about Rob, Sarah. Hopefully he will heal up quickly.

Enjoy your weekend with your daughter, Kristie!

[Renee]

Peggy I envy you your trip to Iceland. A friend went and her pictures made it one of my must see someday destinations. Its got a weird beauty. It may fascinate me because it is so different then Chicago. I just know I want to go someday.

[Kristie, Moderator]

Thanks, Lisa. :)

[Sandra, Moderator]

Wonderful, Kristie! Enjoy!

[Sarah]

Thanks guys. Got to the hospital in one piece and have Rob home now. He can walk again now thankfully and the pain has reduced. They think it's most likely a ligament or tendon problem but just have to monitor it. I can't understand how it went from excruciating and unable to bear weight to being able to walk pretty normally out of there the same day. Rob was convinced he'd done something very bad and would be out of action for months. I hope that doesn't end up being the case. Looks promising so far .

[Sandra, Moderator]

Good to know he is feeling better already. Did they give him painkillers? Maybe that is why he feels so relieved.

Glad to hear Rob's pain has reduced and that he can walk again. That is certainly a good sign.

So.. I was catching up on some reading in the garden and then there was police in the garden next door, climbing over the fence to break open the back door of the house next to that. After a while the girl (18 or so?) who lives there with her parents climbed over the fence into the next door garden. By then, another police car and two ambulances with sirens on arrived. They checked the girl but she seemed fine. After a while they left, and then the police left too. That was about 1.5-2 hours after they arrived. I have no idea what was going on, but figured it was not as bad as it looked.

Now there are two non-descript vans parked in front of the house, of which Rob immediately said they were also police. I wasn't so sure, until people started taking out and putting on white suits and purple gloves! Some kind of forensic or technical research is going on now..

I hope nothing bad happened..

[Peggy]

I'm glad Rob is walking again Sarah!

[Kristie, Moderator]

Oh my gosh, Peggy! A little too much distraction for reading. I wonder what was going on over there? Sounds like some sort of drug making or something maybe. Scary stuff.

[Sandra, Moderator]

Wow, Peggy, sounds like a movie.

Sounds a bit ominous, Peggy.

oh no! I hope it is nothing too bad and that he will be back on his feet in no time.

[Cherie]

Sarah - I'm glad to see that Rob is better than expected. I hope his recovery will be uneventful.

Peggy - A police drama right next door! Hopefully it will nothing too bad.

[Lilisa]

Sarah - glad that things turned out better than you all thought re: Rob - hope he recovers well. Peggy - that doesn't sound good - hope you get to hear about what happened.

[Janice, Moderator]

I'm glad to hear that Rob is home and that he's able to walk.

Peggy, such drama! Crazy!

[Peggy]

I still don't know what it was! There was police again last night, they were still there when we went to bed. There was also a van that seemed like it came to pick up things from the house.

I expected that there would be something about it on the local news, but nothing so far.

[Travis]

Hey everyone. Been ghost. We have a suicidal family member, not in my house, but for 4 weeks it's like all that gets focused on. Got mad today almost called then realized I'd be hung up on sent a message. No reply. Told her to look in the mirror and face her demons but stop blaming evwry other person. You can take your life but you can't take control and responsibility of your life. Stop saying no one loves you. Look around the whole world loves you except you don't love yourself. Dog gone. I can't stand when people want a pity party and do nothing to help themselves

Anyway. That's what I've been up to and I'm sure the drama will just keep rolling on so probably won't be arou d much for a while more. I'd like to read a book except my brain can't focus on that it's just messages from family all day and all night. Beep beep well actually chirp chirp my alert is a bird

[Cherie]

We've missed you, Travis. You've got to take care of real life first, though. Sorry to hear about your family member. Hang in there!

[Rusalka, Moderator]

I'm so glad Rob is okay, Sarah. Tell him from us to rest up.

Peggy, that is a bit exciting. I hope you find out what has gone on. Sounds like everyone's okay, but the lots of forensics stuff is interesting.

Travis! Good to hear from you. Sorry to hear about the family issues. It's super important that you guys check in with people and make sure you are okay too, not just looking after your family member. These things can affect everyone, not just the person in question, so understandable you had a little bit of a snap. Glad you came in here to check in and let us know whats going on though. Hope things start calming down for you soon.

[Sarah]

Rob is recuperating well thanks. I passed on all your good wishes too him. Thanks.

Good to see you Travis. That's a hard situation to be in. I experienced something like that with a friend a few months back. Be sure to look after yourself. It really can take its toll.

[Renee]

good to hear about Ron.

Am I awful for wanting to stay with Peggy and investsgate her neighbors house? I think I have read too many mysteries where a miss Marple saves the day

[Sandra, Moderator]

Yeah, I was thinking that now Peggy is going on vacations and if she doesn't figure out what is going on next doorbefore leaving, the whole thing will probably clear out before she comes back...

[Peggy]

I was worried about that too!

But we finally got a chance to talk to our neighbour (whose fence was used to climb over) yesterday. It's sad news though. The neighbours hadn't heard any sounds from the house for a few days, and they knew the man was alone as his wife was away for 2 weeks. The neighbours called his stepdaughter who tried to get in the front door but it was locked from the inside. They called the police and they came to break open the back door. Inside they found the man, but he passed away. Most probably suicide, apparently the man also suffered from manic depression. I guess the people in the white suits were there to be sure what happened exactly or maybe it looked suspicious. Sad :(

[Sarah]

That is sad Peggy 🙁

[Sandra, Moderator]

That is so sad, Peggy...

[Cherie]

Sad.

[Annerlee]

Hi people. Thought I'd drop in as I've not been around for a few weeks. It's been a bit of a difficult for me. I've just left my husband and am staying at the local women's refuge. Theres been a lot of controlling behaviour and other rubbish going on for quite a while. I finally had enough.
A few days after I left he took an overdose and was rushed to hospital. Is currently getting psychiatric help so is in hospital on the mainland.

I'm shuttling to and fro between houses looking after the dogs as much as I can, with a neighbour looking in on them between times. I cant have pets here. All a bit fraught..

I'm OK, just feeling a bit fragile. Enjoying the peace this evening That sounds callous, but it's the way it is. Can finally relax without all the grief.

Just wanted to let you folks know.

[Sandra, Moderator]

Annerlee, sending you a huge, huge hug.

[Peggy]

Good on you for taking care of yourself Annerlee!

Still, very hard situation to be in I can imagine. Big hug!!

[Annerlee]

Thank you. Need lots of hugs just now. ; /

[Cherie]

Here is my big hug for you, Annerlee!

[Kristie, Moderator]

Sorry to hear that, Peggy. That is sad.

What a difficult situation, Annerlee. I'm so glad you decided to do what you needed to and got out of it. Continue to take care of yourself. Hugs!!

[Esther]

Travis, I hope things will settle for the better soon. This can wear a whole family down.

Peggy, So sad. It's good that you have neighbours that care.

Annerlee. I am sending hugs your way as well. Hang in there.

And here is my hug too.

[Janice, Moderator]

Big hugs, Annerlee. It's good that your husband is getting the care he needs. I'm glad that you are able to find a bit of time and space to feel peaceful. I don't think that sounds callous at all. You need to take care of yourself, too and finding a bit of solace is part of that.

[Sarah]

Big hugs to you Annerlee. Sorry to hear about what you've been going through. Well done for taking action, I know it can't have been easy. Take care of yourself. Do drop back in periodically if you can and let us know you're OK. You can top up on hugs at the same time xxx

[Travis]

Well I came walking out of my pasture to my wife running across yard to me. They finally convinced her to go in for a 35day treatment facility. Didn't think we'd ever convince her she needed help. Just breaks your heart to hear a person say I don't need help why does everyone keep telling me it's not ok to feel like this when this is the only way I've felt everyday for my entire life . Basically got up everyday put on a smile and fooled everyone while inside she was being torn apart and thinking that's just how people feel. Such a talented person. Why is it people so skilled in arts always seem to be tormented. They take all that pain inside and turn it into beautiful things.
Last night I couldn't sleep I was terrified she'd do something in the 10 hour period waiting for her assessment. Luckiky she left her house and stayed with her sister
So now we move to the next step. We can breathe easier for now.
Hope everyone else has things start looking up for you as well

[Sandra, Moderator]

That is good news, Travis. I hope the treatment helps.

[Kristie, Moderator]

Glad to hear she is getting the treatment she needs Travis.

[Janice, Moderator]

That's great news, Travis.

[Travis]

The other day I apologized to everyone for nothing really. Said we've been through a lot and we don't know how it's going to end so I'm not going to stand around a casket with regrets so if I've stepped on any feet I'm sorry but a lot has been said and everyone should feel that maybe time would show we didn't do everything we could have but we certainly did everything we could have at the time with what we knew how to do. So no regrets and let's hope years from now we can laugh at the time Travis apologized for no reason.

[Renee]

My prayers and wishes of strength go out to both Travis and Annerlee. Try to take care of yourselves. It is so easy when faced with truly hard times to forget that you have needs also

[Peggy]

Glad she accepted treatment Travis.

My holidays started but it feels like there's so much I 'must' do that it's not like a holiday at all. I think I've got most of those things out of the way now though. I always wonder before how I'm going to fill all those weeks but somehow they turn out to be quite busy after all.

[Sarah]

That's good to hear Travis. I hope they get all the help they need.

[Travis]

I understand why this country is facing a mental health crisis. They said we don't think she really needs intensive therapy this program isn't for her. Um what. You have openings available, we have money and we have spent a month convincing her to seek treatment and you say basically she just isn't messed up in the head as much as we like to see to come here. Uh huh. And they wonder why we have all these tragedies happening all the time. Good grief. I don't know what the plan is now. My wife and her sister seem to still have it all under control so that's good enough for me

[Janice, Moderator]

That's really sad, Travis. I hope she's able to get the help she needs.

[Travis]

They went over the assessment with my wife. She said yeah if that was true she probably wouldn't except she omitted a whole lot of stuff. Seriously you guys deal with mental health and you don't suspect a person may not answer you honestly. This is half the issue. It took a long time for figure out but the reason no one has noticed for her entire life is because she lies. She lies to herself and makes it reality so if she has a rough night tomorrow she'll smile like nothing happened. It took several people living with her and those people saying this is what happened and her saying this is what happened before we finally got to the bottom of the issue. She doesn't even know she's lying. It's how she's coped all these years.
