Researching Knee Replacement

[Jamie]

Depression and eating disorders run in my husband's family. His sister died from a heart attack at the age of 26 as a result of years of anorexia and bulemia. I've just seen that when one sibling is going through mental health issues, you really have to watch the others because it affects them more then you might realize. It's hard enough for us, as adults to handle things like this but when you are a kid....well...it's even that much more difficult. I don't know how close the younger two are to their half brother, but I think its them your daughter needs to think about.

Thanks for the advice. She is watching.....the oldest (a boy) has just started experiencing some signs of depression and our daughter made an appointment for him with a psychologist. This is part of what I meant when I said our oldest grandson is "toxic" to his family. It DOES impact everyone. He was psychotic for most of the time he lived with the family. We were just lucky that nothing too bad happened. I could curl your hair with some of the stories of the "almost" though.....

Wow, Olathe is 100,000 now?

Yeah, it is. It was 25,000 when we moved here in 1984. Amazing growth in ALL of Johnson County. If you haven't been to the area in the last 5 years, you would not recognize any of it. Building has moved as far south as 215th Street....right to the Miami County line. And then it's going west along K-7 Highway toward Lawrence. Out of control development.

Beach, you sound like such a wonderful person. If we were neighbors, I'm betting we would be great friends.....we seem to have many of the same thoughts.

What a nice compliment Jamie! Thank you!
I'm glad we can be at least "cyber-neighbors"!

And I would much rather have you for a real neighbor than the "Peeping Tom" we have behind us. He creeps me out. Just stands and stares into our back yard across the fence. The whole back of my house is windows and he can see right into the house..... We just put up a privacy fence at the edge of the deck that is 6' high and blocks his view into the great room, but he can still see at an angle into our bedroom so we have to add more.

We call him Tom Peeper. LOL! It really is creepy, though.

Hey Doug--- any suggestions?

My suggestions would be illegal for you to do. I have no tolerance for perverts at all. If he steps foot on your property, call the police. See if you can get pictures or a video of him standing and staring at your house. Good evidence. Pulse being caught on tape does cool some folks jets.

I don't camp, I hotel.
Doug, Peeing & spam OK. Gun lessons because they are in your house, OK. But petting the copper head , no no.
