Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2007Late Cards?
Seems like quite a few folks on the card list posted here that they were late sending them. Now three days after Christmas not one additional card has arrived since last week. I was sort of expecting a pile to arrive on Tuesday from what I gathered reading here! I have really loved all the cards that have come. And I will get cards out. But at the rate things are going here I'm not sure if they will be happy new year or be my valentine. The camera is still gone. And that really galls me because I'm quite sure one of the grandkids stole it. Just thinking that upsets me. But I'm not thinking it without good reason. And the camera isn't all that is missing. I'll get another one like it probably. But if I can't leave it out where I can use it when there is something cute or interesting going on, it takes away a lot of the pleasure of having it. Only hope of finding it right now is the chance it will show up while we are putting away the Christmas Decorations.

As it's not the kind of thing you can bring up unless the parents are aware and trying to work on the fact that someone has sticky fingers. Maybe you could mention loudly when the parents of the one you suspect is over how worried you are that your camera has gone. I hope his/her parents start doing something. Just don't leave them on their own with your stuff. I hope you get it back. >I have really loved all the cards that have come. And I will get cards >out.

The "child" lives with us most of the time. Which is slightly better for him but not much. He is seventeen, doesn't have a prayer of graduating with his class, but we are all trying to keep him in school as much as possible. Grandpa and I disagree to some degree with how to deal with the problem which just adds to the stress. I think thats why I mentioned it here. I just feel so overwhelmed by the problems.

Can you get some help with how to handle him? Is there a helpline or Lifeline where you are? Mum used to ring them all the time when we were teenagers :) Good luck with the situation, I'm sure he will remember and appreciate your love for him when he's older. >I have really loved all the cards that have come.

I hope the camera shows up. If it doesn't, could you gather grandchildren together and ask "Did one of you take my camera? Please put it back secretly (under the bed, in the wardrobe..)" Otherwise you maybe have a grandchild with a drug problem :-( I see this all the time in my job. Avoiding school, mixing with undesirables, and then getting into drugs. Try and snatch him back into family life. It will not be easy. It might be impossible. Lots of luck with it.

And as I've understood, some haven't yet sent theirs. But that's OK by me, as I know I'll still be getting more cards eventually. I love getting mail. :)  SignatureChristine in Laitila, Finland christal63 (at) gmail (dot) com photos: http://photos.yahoo.com/christal63 photos: http://community.webshots.com/user/chkr63 > Pat kirjoitti: >> Seems like quite a few folks on the card list posted here that they [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > theirs.

I love getting mail. :) There is something satisfying about getting real snail mail (as long as it's not a bill or an ad). :~) kili > I got three cards today.

Like someone said, it just extends the holiday season. I wonder if the post office is goofed up though. Did my card arrive to you yet Christine? Pat kirjoitti: > I don't mind waiting, either.

I go in tomorrow. It's one of the things I can do that doesn't require lifting anything heavy or driving! > Seems like quite a few folks on the card list posted here that they were > late sending them.
