Leslie Nord's Random Thoughts on Friends, Family and Life

I never was much of a writer - more like a rambler that easily gets lost in a tangent. My blog lets me go out on those tangents any time I want to. So remember, life is like a roller coaster: sit down and hang on. Sometimes you'll want to scream, sometimes you'll puke, but give it a chance and you'll find it can be a lot of fun.

Guess it’s time to stir the pot again. Ticks me off when my ex can’t even afford to pay the co-pay so Megan can go to the dentist. She’s got until August 1 to use my health insurance since she’s not enrolled in school full time. Then there are the promises of a new car and paying for her tuition – sure hope that doesn’t go the way of the horse he promised her.

I’ve asked Megan a couple of times to inquire about student loan programs when she talks to this school she wants to go to. All I get back is that her father doesn’t qualify. That makes no sense – just about anyone can get a student loan – I even had one when I was drawing my GI Bill for school. I’ve told her to ask about “loans” not aid – we’ll even co-sign for her if need be. I know how excited she is about going to this dental assistant program. Maybe if her father would sell that stupid motorcycle he bought her…

Guess what’s really bothering me is my other two daughters attitude about trying to get together for something my dad wants to do. All he wants is to take a “four generation” picture with him, his two daughters, three granddaughters and two great-granddaughters.

Megan tells me it will never happen, almost in the same breathe as being told that they are “over it”. Obviously, they aren’t or they would do this one special thing for their grandfather.

Those of you who were betting that my knees would be the first "metal" replacements, you lost. I now have a bit of titanium in my cervical spine. I wonder if the doc will give me a pic of the post-op x-rays?

Those who know me, know to send lavender roses and daisies.
