I’ve always been a firm believer that nothing good has come out of Texas. But I do have a close friend that moved to Dallas TX a few years back and she seems to be doing well down there. We keep in touch via weekly emails and I always enjoy hearing from her, she always had a way with words.
She is a treasure hunter and has gotten pretty good at it lately. It seems that she has been hitting the pawn shops that are abundant in Texas. One of her local Dallas Pawn Shops has become one of her favorite stops when she goes into town and she has become very friendly with the owner, which is cool. We could all use as many friends as we can possibly acquire these days.
She is totally into vintage jewelery and there seems to be a lot of people pawning their vintage jewelry in order to get cash to help pay the bills in today’s troubled economy. It is a buyer’s market, if you have the money. She has even ventured out to some of the other Austin Pawn Shops in her attempt to find her treasures that put a smile on her face. It’s all about the hunt and I say go for it girl!

Don’t forget to change your clocks tonight! In the spring we lose an hour. You have to set your clock forward an hour before you go to bed – or remember to do it first thing in the morning. If you forget, you will end up being late all day!

Thankfully I have no food allergies. But others in the family are not so lucky. My niece is having a terrible time with IBS and I’m beginning to think that it has to do with a food allergy. We are trying to keep track of what she eats and when she has the IBS attacks to see if there is any pattern. At the moment, I am concerned that she might be allergic to eggs. That would be really tough to eliminate from her diet. I hope it turns out to be something else.

I’m sorry to say that there are a lot of addictive personalities in my family. In each generation that I’ve known, it seems that most of the people are addicted to SOMETHING! Some of them have gone to some form of Alcohol Rehab program. Depending on their financial circumstances, some have gone to a Private Alcohol Rehab , others have simply tried to stop on their own, and still others have gone to free programs.
Although the results of going to rehab were that the person involved did stop drinking, their basic personality and method of coping have not changed very much. Some of them act like “dry drunks” which can be discouraging. Still others throw themselves into a different addiction of sorts. Whether or not that other addiction is a good one or a bad one is arguable! The addiction still consumes them in one way or another. I wish that there was better counseling available to these people to help them to heal what is troubling them so that they don’t feel the need to block out the pain by throwing themselves into something to escape the pain!
