Connie - I would contact one of the meet-ups that sound interesting and see if they would consider starting at 6:30 one time a month, or as a trial. I know it would be hard here also because by 6, anyone with kids is getting dinner ready. Are there options on weekends?

My scheduling complaint is that locally it seems only non-working folks get to yoga. 10am weekday classes. 1 option on Saturdays.

Laura any word on your son? I've been worried.

YAY sj!! Just wallow in the free time for a bit, it will go by very fast at first.

Today is work from home day and thus far I am not really working. Need to get on that.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I looked around to make sure I had everything packed for my trip, picked it all up, and came downstairs. Stuff in suitcase, stuff in backpack, stuff in purse. All ood.

And then I realized I'd forgotten my pants.

Our wings are not tired.

Unfortunately no. A number of other people are trying to get him to respond via FB posts in addition to me, without success. Two of his friends stopped by to see him at my request, but they didn't give me any detail. Just that they saw him. I've asked a couple others to make welfare visits, including his brother. It isn't good. My husband leaves here tomorrow morning to head back and see what is up. If he finds him unemployed and dysfunctional he'll toss him on a plane and send him up here for my fixing. Parenthood, yeah you know.

Maybe only shoes and shirts are required?

Hugs, Laura. It's good that people saw him, at least.

His friends are kinda awesome that way. They know about his bouts of depression and step up when they see the signs.

Ugh, Laura. That's so hard. I'm glad he at least has good friends.

I slept through my alarms and I know I'm forgetting something, but I do indeed have my pants.

To cross thread with FB, perhaps we can mix some anti-dep meds in wet food and syringe feed him.

Man, it's hard.

Laura I'm glad other people have seen him. This must be so stressful for you. I've had you all in my thoughts.

Has anyone heard from Suzi? I worry about her too.

Everyone dealing with insurance I am in the same boat unfortunately regarding prescriptions. It seems like CVS has made a deal with every company out there. We hate Cvs so go to our local Pharmacy which will only give us a month supply of anything, but it actually ends up costing us less because the one month supply is cheaper than the copay. Newest problem is they will not give my husband with severe arthritis more than 7 days of tramadol (not even an opioid) so we have been fighting that for months. I hate insurance with a passion.

I have been in therapy for a few months for my anxiety (agoraphobia really) and depression. I'm not doing as much as I should for homework, but it is really hard to overcome things I've let become the norm over the past 2 years.

I am really glad for everyone here, even though I'm not talkative much I read everyday. Thank you all.
