Moving to a homeless shelter today

It sounds like Denise and her sister had a big blow-out that might take a bit of time before it resolves. Things can get pretty heated with sisters sometimes, lots of childhood issues can rear their ugly heads. My sister I me get along fairly well now, but not very close and since we live on opposite sides of the country, there's not much contact, except by phone. But even so, we can still lock horns and I have to make a big effort to bite my lip sometimes. I'm sure if we had to live together we'd drive each other nuts.
 

How sad:( I have five sisters and adore every one of them. Of course, I was the oldest and in high school while they were very little and in their early years of school, then gone while they were growing up. That probably has a lot to do with our getting along well now. There weren't the usual sibling arguments/envy (Mom likes you better than she likes me! How come you always get to....(fill in the blank)? LOL

Eight brothers, only one older than I am. We're only a year apart and did not get along growing up. We get along now because there are 3000 miles between us!
 
I think also, that moving to the shelter will hurry things along for Denise, in being rehomed.If you are living with a relative, it's difficult to get a house/apartment of your own.

I`m not sure that will make any difference in Denise`s case-it`s just a matter of an apartment becoming available. I`ll have to tell her to check into that just to be sure though....
 
Really doing fine:) I have a great gal that fell on hard times, but very neat and she has the same types of goals and plans I do. Many don't have plans which is sad. It's their chosen lifestyle, but if they are happy that way, ok with me.

I wish I had a bit more time I miss you guys and have quite a few funny stories already;) I'm saving my dollars to make my move to Lakeport CA. It is a blessing to have what I do have going for me. I have made lots of the girls laugh in good way (not bad jokes allowed, lol) but I feel like I am helping, and I am so being helped by meeting so many kinds of people face to face. One guy came in to do a study last night but instead he said there were so many sad, grumpy faces he was going to make us all smile, and boy did he. He really had a gift/talent, way with people. He got out his guitar and sang lots of the old gospel tunes, the fun upbeat ones.

I'm not much for religion, but I truly enjoyed it:) If I had time I'd send you each replies as I appreciate every, one of you:) big hugs for all, Denise;) PS More later;)
 
thank you merlin,

I never have believed, well, at least not in my adult years, that things happen by mistake, so I just think there is a purpose so to roll with it, lol;) denise
 
Great to hear from you, Denise, and I'm so glad you're happy with your new situation. Please keep us advised to the extent that you can. I've thought of you many times the last few days and I hope you feel the positive thoughts I'm sending your way. :love_heart:

I have a sister to whom I have not spoken in fifteen years. She belongs to a religious cult which denigrates almost everyone, and is a very angry venomous person. I would infinitely prefer living in a homeless shelter to residing with her. Sad, but true, she is the most toxic individual I have known in many years.

I can beat that Shalimar. I haven't spoken to my sister in 35 years. She lives in Springfield, Illinois I think.....I know it's a Springfield and I think the nearest city is Chicago so Springfield, Illinois? Anyway, she moved down there to marry her fiancé when my oldest was a few months old and that was it. She's a difficult person to be around from what I've heard from my mom who keeps in touch so I don't feel like I'm missing much. If she eventually comes for my moms funeral (I kind of doubt that she will) it'll be really weird!

As for you Miss Denise, I was just thinking of you as I was opening my computer and I see right off the bat that you've been by to say hi so HI right back at you! I'm not surprised that you are making friends in your new situation. Wouldn't expect anything less seeing as how you're such a nice lady. But we're all focussing very hard on sending good thoughts your way so that you get to move on to your permanent place ASAP.
 
Denise, I have not been on for a few days....so, just found your thread. You are such a kind, caring and upbeat lady....I am sure you bring joy to all you encounter. Do not let this setback affect your lovely spirit. Do not even think of apologizing or feeling bad about accepting help. As you said, there was a reason, something better is in store for you. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Everytime I look at your avatar I smile... please keep that beautiful smile.
 
Hi Denise, So glad you dropped in to tell us how you are. You sound contented and
pleased to be there until an apartment becomes available for you.
I'm sure you have brightened the days of the other folks there with your friendly manner
and cheerful ways.
Be well and stay in touch when you can.
 
I am sorry for your situation Denise.

I wish all the best, stay healthy and safe.

Maybe the move to your new place will happen quicker than you think.

Good Luck.

Mike.
 
Thanks Glinda, just rattled from new organization of my time, doctor appts., using the library for internet which I love the library to read etc. But I am so lucky. There are so many things going for me. I am feeling very close with some of the gals, and also, feel I made such a wise decision.

Things will get better and better, and the best thing I think about it all, is I am on a schedule to an extent, but it's so fair, and I have lots of free time to do take walks, got look around some fun thriftshops, and they really do healthy meals at least most of the time. They do serve lots of white rice and things that are donated, but there is always fruit, vegetables, salads as well. Amazingly lucky I am:)

Thank you, it's so nice to get on here and see a note, so wish I could be here more but like I said, some of this being organized and on a schedule is hard work, LOL, which I tell you has been so good for me;) hugs, Denise
 
thanks so much to all of you, wish I had time to write you all, but just know you are so appreciated, miss you all;) Denise
