I have 2 grown children, My daughter is 33 and my son is 29. I thought that when they were grown and made a life of their own the worries would end there. My daughter and her husband just bought a new house and I worry (was this a mistake) my son just moved in with someone he's known for awhile yet i'm worring should they have taken it to that level and NOT move in right away? anyone that has grown children do you still worry about them? should I just let life take it's course and what ever happenes happenes and dont stress over it because it's out of my control anyways?..how does 1 stop stressing over every little thing? HELP i'm losing my mind with this stress ...thanks peeps HUGS to you all...........

[Your children are grown up if they need your help they will ask for it. Let them discover and you be there for them if they fall. If their choices bother you speak your peace and drop it, just never drop your love. Let them follow their hearts. Life has it's own lessons for them, pray for them, love them and remember you raised them and trust that they will find their way./quote]

Off-Topic / Re: How do you wash your dishes?

If you handwash your dishes like I do, do you leave the water running while doing so?...oh this is another thing that drives me crazy...conserve water and shut it off...I need to start a pet peeve topic lol ...i'm ok i'm ok
[I also handwash my dishes. I find using a basin filled with water, my favorite dishwashing liquid and three tablespoons of bleach to be the best. I think dishes can be clean and pretty close to bacteria free with this recipe. As for the water waste if you use a basin you can wash all of the dishes and flatware and rinse well once after you have washed them that way the water is on once to fill and once to rinse. /quote]

Off-Topic / Re: How do you keep neighbors out of your new pool?

Just said no I don't want you to swim in my pool when I am not there.  I can't be held responsible if something happens to you.
[ :thumbsup:I understand exactly how you feel. People just want the pleasure of playing and swimming in your new pool. They don't think about the responsibility that comes with it. If you have children I would invite their friends w/supervision, any of your friends, however I would tell the neighbors quite frankly I don't want my privacy disturbed like that and no you cannot use the pool. I would have the people who installed the pool send you some business cards and I would distribute them. A pool is not a toy. Are they going to help clean it or upkeep it? No!/quote]

Anyone eat it this way?? I use to for a while, then changed....
[I think salad without dressing can be something delicious with the right combination of vegetables. I'm just not that courageous. /quote]
