unhappy hour

[Lolawashere]

today I went to work and spent 250 bucks on some sales materials for work, which I will still owe $449.00 when it is delivered....then my son informed me that his phone was ruined when it fell off the moped, so I had to sign up for another 2 year contract with AT&T to get him a crappy phone. I was so happy not to have a contract anymore since my last cell phone bill for both of us was $480.00. Also, I just sent 462.00 to Arizona for a ticket my son got on his last visit there. Then I looked at my son's bank account because he needed me to transfer money to him to pay for the new cell phone only to find out he had three insufficient check charges for 35 bucks each. I was really upset to see that I paid 39.70 for a sandwich, 37.80 to walgreens for a lighter, and 38.00 for a red bull he bought from a gas station. Oh and $110.00 for his student loan! so I am really disappointed. I was fuming earlier...I'm feeling better slowly. I guess I should be happy that I have the money to pay for these things... I should be happy that its only money.
I want to feel better. I had to vent to get it off my chest. :mad:

Holy Fuck. You must be rich!

If that was my offspring, there would be a lot of strangling going on... :grin:

I'm having a similar experience. Yesterday I was at the Casino and instead of walking out with a $10,000 jackpot, I gambled away $25 :(

P.S., I thought a new law was passed that didn't allow banks to charge you insufficient balance fees. Instead they are required to not-allow the sale to go through, unless you specifically sign-up to allow your bank account to go into zero.

oh and I had this little nat flying around me for a little bit. I killed him!!!!
I looked at the pretty roses that my bf gave me and they look all wilted and dead. JEEZ I have to get out of this mood. YUCK!!!!!!!

[cigi]

Yanno what Lis? Just be pissed. Toss the roses & give the Zman some hell for being too fly with the plastic.

Moods pass babe. You deserve a pissy one on occasion. :love:

[sara]

GREAT RESPONSE CIGI!!!:heart::grin::heart:

HUGS TO YOU LISA:heart::love::heart:

[Pina Colada]

Yay,pissy Lisa Lis!

Ya'll be ok.You always are.:love::heart:

[Kameroon]

omg 11:11 stay away from that place.

[sara]

And you might want to consider Lisa...

WHAT YOU ARE TEACHING YOUR SON ??

THROUGH YOUR ACTIONS TOWARD HIM....

Are your actions teaching him Abraham principles???
or the reverse???
It is a kind thing to teach others as soon as possible to be responsible for one's actions...

why is HE not having to pay for these charges?
or in some way be responsible for what HE has done...
Just thinking....

MUCH LOVE TO YOU DEAR GODDESS:heart::love::heart:

[sara]

i would of said so sorry about your phone...but i know you'll manage without one...

got a ticket...no prob but need to take your keys...it's getting too expensive to have you on the road, ticket, cell phone death...

walking is a wonderful exercise btw

of course you can always get a part time job and get yourself solvent again

Abe says the kids don't come to have their nest feathered...just sayin

You said it soo much better than did I!!
Brilliant as usual!!!!!

I paid 39.70 for a sandwich, 37.80 to walgreens for a lighter, and 38.00 for a red bull he bought from a gas station.
I think I have never seen sandwich that costs 39.70
I know this is not giving you ANY relief me noticing this,
but
hello!
-39?-
Although I have friend in Tokio, and 6 eggs regular prize is 20 $
that gives some relief!
Here, eggs are more than 10 times less
and for me sometimes even free and from countryside, healthy, mmmm
I see you opperate a lot with number 400 :) something
As Rodney said, that's great!
maybe that's some program.., but be happy to know you will get out of this situation and create experiences of your choice for future. You can do that. Have more of what you do want...use this experience to turn it to your victory.

[Rodney]

At least your son is alive. Not every parent can say the same. That's got to be worth something, right?

[Lolawashere]

Yeah I feel really bad about getting mad at him after finding out whats been going on. I am happy he is alive and well. and He is safe. He is okay. Everything will be okay. We will get thru this.

[sara]

Ana:heart:, in America..
if i went in to buy a candy bar for $1.00 and paid with a check or debit card and I had not $ in the bank..the bank would charge me like $35.00 for that over charge plus the $1. for the candy bar....==that is where the $38.00 comes in... the candy bar itself did not cost $38.00 originally:heart::love::heart:

[Rodney]

well, if you're feeling bad that is simply indication of the gap between action you and non phizzy you...so apparently non phizzy you does not feel bad about you getting mad...rofl

No. Means non-phizzy you doesn't share your thought/beliefs. It is guiding you to your truth. So obviously something you've been beating, and repeating, is a lie.

[Lolawashere]

what I am going through right now sucks. I know it will be okay. But it sucks.

[Mariposa]

boy, this looks messy :p first they said you were rich, they said you can find a part time job to pay for it... ¿¿??¿¿?? they said one sandwich's 39 bucks, then they said it's all from the bank charging you to loan the 1 dolla to buy the sandwich lol :facelol: everybody understood things differently! :joylick:and that's funny to me... this is a fun thread :p

now, I would go with Rodney...

Holy Fuck. You must be rich!

then you said yourself

I guess I should be happy that I have the money to pay for these things... I should be happy that its only money.

well, first: you have the money to pay for those things..

:cheers:

we could leave it just there...

but, we could also..

2: you have these beliefs about how you should feel? there's the first resistance item here... just allow your feelings! then after they'r gone, sure, you'll want to know how to handle this next time or why you got so upset... but first of all don't judge the way you feel, it is ok not to feel good... and you can pay the debt, so screw it! :joylick:

[Lolawashere]

it's all messed up. my son's in jail. I could bail him out but I just want to make sure he realizes he never wants to go back there again. I want him to know that smoking weed while on probation can't happen again. I want him to realize I can't bail him out every single time he does something wrong. I can't.

An old friend of mine just told me I'm co-dependant and that I need CODA meetings. I'm always trying to help and its my help that keeps him from hitting a bottom. He says my son needs to get that "mommy can't do for him anymore and that he can do for himself." He also thinks anyone who drinks to catch a buzz is an alcoholic. In his mind everyone is some sort of junkie until they prove otherwise.

When I first got into LOA I became less strict on my son. I followed my emotions. It felt good to help my son financially, too. I'm supposed to do what feels good, right??? very confusing.

Lis,

From the first contraction, motherhood is the constant process of letting go. Trust your mother's intuition....follow YOUR heart, YOUR guidance. Don't look to the world's opinion.....YOU know best what works for YOU. Let your son know best what works for him.

There 's a Anne Geddess print that I adore with this quote....."parenthood is knowing that your heart will forever walk outside your body".

Let your love guide you. Trust the process. :heart::namaste::heart:

Lis,

Just sayin' CODA and hitting bottom are all rather 1980's. There is so much more creative info now....so much more than being "problem" oriented (see cigi's rant on Key's Flow thread)......even abe has some wonderful things to say about their NEW 12 steps and the reasons for addiction.

I so agree with Beth's thoughts above that everything happens for a reason, a soul lesson, a becoming-God-lesson. As abe says, "there's a pony here in somewhere!"

My daughter too had "an incident"....she was assaulted and strangled by a home invader at her off-campus house (she's taking a womans' self-defense course....LOA??) ...yikes!!....but even that has turned out to be an extremely empowering experience. Just needed to keep my eyes glued on the potential for good....and keep looking for the pony.

The constant process of letting go.....learning to trust that the U has our kids back too...we are not their Vortex........they have their own connection, their own alignment with Well-Being.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Not sure if this will resonate or not, but I appreciate abe's rant that our kids (no matter their age) have their own connection....we are not their Source, nor their Vortex. Feels like freedom to me.

Hey, I was there, just about two feet behind the hot seat to the right (well, just beyond that fellow's left arm), apparently just far enough to be cut out of the frame even when the camera panned. Bummer, I was all giggly and excited thinking I was going to catch a glimpse of myself. :rolleyes: :joylick:

[Lolawashere]

thank you.

I just had the best conversation with my son. He got out. He was so happy to be breathing the air. He said he couldn't wait to sleep in his bed. He told me how lucky he was to be free. He was waiting for his girlfriend to pick him up and he said he didn't care how long it would take her. It was so awesome to hear that gratitude. He had me calling a few of the cellmate's mom's and girlfriends to relay messages. He said it made their day.

I really liked that video of Jim Carrey Sierra put, when he said :look at all this event, do you know you manifested it, you in the last row who manifested seat in the corner. :facelol: that was good funny one. :heart:
