Hello Maggie,
The new dog is here, at least for awhile. My preference is that we not change her again, but if she does not fit this family, there's a rescue organization that will take her. She is very nervous, wondering where she belongs. But she bonded quickly to my friend, I think she will bond quickly here again. This is a good place for dogs. And I do like having them around.
I have considered having another roommate, but with my daughter and the baby, it just seems like too much. I talked to someone who was in dire straights - it was a possibility and I was a little nervous about the idea. But she decided to move back to the city.
It is interesting that charity insulated the rich from the poor. But I think it;s the very wealthy that shield themselves completely. I am too tired to look up statistics, but I have read that the very wealthy donate the least, by percentage. I feel like we have a caste system here, but it is hidden and so we can ignore it. Or it is so normal, so comfortable that we don;t question it.
When you asked how many people played and replayed threatening situations in their head, first I think people need a little more time with the question - to own it. But second, if no one else owns up - who is going to be first to admit in public? That doesn't mean they're not thinking about it.
We had a birthday dinner last evening. I thought the chaos went well, but today sibs are complaining about each other. I am tired...I love them all, though.
Tired in general , so I'm off to bed...
Love you, Clare
