it does not matter no one cares if I live or die. I am lonely. my friends are dead or moved away. my used to be my next door neighbor. we still keep in touch not as much as we used to. her husband has been in the hospital 2 days. they found that he has a blockage in his neck. he is going to a heart doctor next week. doesn't sound good. they have each other. no one calls except a phone solicitor. I guess I can talk to them. my niece never feels good and does not want to talk much. she talks to every one else. I have an appointment Monday. but why should I go.is that or anything going to make me happy? if I get well I will still have the same problems. we are all going to die. god will take us when it wants us. why waste all that money and still feel the same way. mandy876
A grown cat does not need much attention. That kitten was troubled, but any kitten will take more energy from you. So I still think that a cat would be some good companionship for you.
People with "sooo many problems" do need to see doctors. I don't know why you won't even go to your doctor. It's just plain self destructive.
I know the kitten was playing he kept crying and I picked him up and laid him on a real soft cover. he laid real still. I talked real soft to him and he watched me for a while then I rubbed between his eyes. he went sound asleep. if I left the room for anything he would run from my chair to the sofa and if he did not seem he would start crying. I walked in the room he came running. I really was growing to love him. I am too old. I was worn out by the end of the day. wish I could be a better person. no need in me seeing the doctor I have soooomany problems it would not do any good. I am tired why want god just take me. I am so tird. love mandy876
I agree with everything Sara says.
Mandy it is your car. If you can't afford insurance, or to keep the car, then sell it. It is YOUR car not theirs. When you do sell the car, make sure you do not give any of them any of YOUR money.
Tough on them if they do not have the convenience of using someone else's car. There is always public transport! They will continue to use you, because you let them. You have to be firm and stand up for yourself. Say no and mean it.
You owe them absolutely nothing.
With regard to the kitten, he was just playing with your wrist band. You did the right thing in taking him back. So do not worry about that.
Best wishes.
Mandy,
If you don't want to be taken advantage of, then you need to put limits on what you do. If the car is still in your name, you should take it back. Otherwise if there is any major accident, YOU can be sued for everything that you have. You also will be liable for any parking tickets which can add up to thousands of dollars with fines.
Then there is an easy solution to the problem of your niece's daughter not having a car. Her man can get a job. Or her man can watch the children while your niece's daughter gets a job. It's that simple. Don't you pay the car insurance or it is all your fault that people use you.
I hear you complaining a lot about people using you. You can just STOP getting taken advantage of.

we took him back. he was a hand full. he did curl up in my lap and got a good nap. but he saw my medical alert bracelet and stuck his claws on both side on my arm and grabed hold of my bracelet and would no let go. it was hurting. we decided we had got rid of all our older cats and would have to buy everything. it would add up. we are going to try to go to the coast I am not sure if either one of us feels like taking a trip. would like to get away for a while and try to relax. my nieces daughter is packing up her things they are being evicted because her man will not get a job. she has a 7 and a 6 month old. I told her her car insurance is due next month. and she told me it was still in my name she did not have the money. I cant afford to pay everyones bills. am I being ysed. I am so tired. mandy876
The love from the people we love though, stays in our spirits. I can't find my copy of Kahlil Gibran's, "The Prophet" book. But it says something like, Look deep into your heart at your sadness, and know that it is really a mirror of the joy that you had previously.
I also have been on Effexor and had to raise it when my depression got terrible, which cleared it up. Now I am on its upgraded version, Pristiq. But I know that I need to take it for the rest of my life. I feel for you. I know it is very hard. But I really hope that you can find some more peace in your life. Sara
