everyday's a special day at thriftimart. someone died today, a lotta people
did. and a lotta births today. that's great you have a great job.
overtime is cool. 26 million americans are unemployed and live
on crackers and water. bread lines gettin longer everyday.
sock away the savings. lotta anniversaries too. all saints day today.
tomorrow is all souls day. don't work too hard. be like the rest
of us, stay in bed, make trillions$. most of us have nowhere to go.
so, why get outta bed??? to go to adultmatchdoctor. why else?
we can do that in bed too, with a laptop. lol. glad you're doin so great.
heck, at least someone is. don't forget tax season is coming up real soon.
9 for the govt. one for us. the lord loveth a cheerful taxpayer. isn't it great?
so many govts. to support. city, county, state, federal, world, foreign aid.
and don't forget those starving people in the sudan too. and those
downtrodden somali pirates. they need loot right away, the old fashioined
way, they steal it. enjoy. lolol.

Aww Cookie, youve been a great dad, and no one can take that away from you.
Sometimes they have to learn on their own and make their own mistakes.. its the only way they learn.
and whilst its nice having daddy to fall back on when shes acted silly again.. she will eventually use you as a permanant safety net.
Its tough being a parent, but youve been one of the best.

I don't know... my boy is still little.... but even to an older child: how do you say NO? 
Maybe you could start by providing only roof and food.... everything else she'd have to pay for it.
Or how about charging for the roof and food, just a small fee kinda thing? 
To make a point?
When I was turning 20, I knew quite a few young people who chose to stay home with their parents, but paid them for the room and food. Paid at least a small fee.
(In Switzerland, like in some other European countries, you're "on your own and grown up" only with 20, not with 18 like here.... Just this fact might make you thing...  )

ive had enough.
We say this many times thru out our lives ....in our minds & out loud, but the truth be known,
We KNOW in our hearts......We Will & Always Will Be right there when they need our help putting the shattered pieces back together, no matter their age.
Just another journey our children take us on & Sometimes it's a Wild Rollercoaster ride 
You've done & said all you can at this point soooooo
Hold On My Wonderful Friend
