"House Lust" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-11-23 12:45:26

I'm having one of my po' moments. That's "po'" as in POOR. It started yesterday when I overheard my boss talking about the fact that he bought his first house 13 years ago at age 25 for what was at the time a reasonable price. He and his wife sold it a few years later for a profit and bought another house closer to her job. They didn't make as much as they could have had they waited a few years more but they made out OK just the same. As I mentioned in a previous post. I'm 43 and I still rent. My family lives outside of Los Angeles in a tiny 2 BR house that was probably built during the WPA program. The neighborhood is working-class but relatively safe mostly families and senior citizens. For this we pay the princely sum of $1,350 a month which I'm told is very good for what we're getting. Our landlord is a hands-off kinda guy who hasn't raised our rent in the 18 months we've been there (knock on wood). I should be grateful for what we have. I AM grateful. But sometimes it seems like Robin and I are the only ones who missed the boat and didn't buy a home just before the real estate boom sent prices into the ionosphere. It seems like everyone around us owns a home. Or their second home. And they have mortgages of $300/month. And they amassed their down payment not by scrimping and saving but because their parents gave it to them. And their yearly household income is $400K/year. Or it's $30K/year. And somehow they seem to have all this disposable income so they can have satellite and plasma screens and take vacations to Hawaii every 3 months. The last time I checked the median home price in LA County was $500,000. 20% of that (the down payment amount needed to avoid PMI) is $100,000. Who the FUCK has that kind of money just sitting around in their savings account? Besides Eva Longoria. I mean. (Actually she prob has a lot more.)I am currently our family's sole source of income. I make just enough for us to pay our bills and eat like normal humans. We have enough for incidentals and by that I mean necessities not frills. Other than Robin's car lease ($350/month) we have zero debt. My nondescript car is paid for. We even have enough for a 3-DVDs-at-a-time Netflix subscription and can also contribute about $30/week to our church. Somehow I manage to put away $100/month into Keeley's 529 account. We have some savings both liquid and long-term. You're probably reading this and wondering what the hell I'm bitching about.. my life is blessed. And you're right. But every so often I feel like a total loser because I'm past 40 and there are working class Joes and Janes out there half my age who make and have so much more. True. Robin and I weren't as frugal as we could have been in past years but we weren't out of control either. And the fact of the matter is we could've stretched and bought a house about 7 years ago but we were scared and naïve and blew what was probably our only opportunity in this lifetime to own property. I have to tell myself that owning a home is not my raison d'être. I have to remind myself that my wife and I are healthy have a healthy happy child who doesn't want for anything and that we have more than a lot of people in this world do. I have to remind myself that Keeley doesn't have to be in day care because I make enough so Robin doesn't have to work. I have to tell myself that all I can do is save where I can and trust that God will put us in a house of our own if He wills it. I am blessed. I am blessed. I am blessed. But I still shouldn't forget to get my lottery ticket at lunchtime. You never know...

"Ending a life" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-26 00:11:20

I've been trying to decide if I'd rather be blind or deaf and sight it's a toss up. I would really mourn the total loss of my hearing (since I am hearing impaired anyway) since I live for music but blindness would be VERY difficult to bear. So I can understand why my dad feels as he does losing his eyesight to MacD and glaucoma and feeling so tired and weak all the time from just general ill health. I was thinking a lot this morning about how it is that we can have such a hard measure relating to someone wanting to die and doing everything possible to act them from wanting to die. Perhaps because we're afraid that if we say it's OK to be to die people ordain take it into their own hands and kill themselves? OR that it's challenging something within ourselves? I probably be to construe more about death and dying to understand this--at least in the context of geriatrics. But then I'm not sure I could command what I construe at this inform. I can understand a friend's FIL's POV too--do not go gentle into that good night. "I am controlling this it is not controlling me." He is dying from cancer and resisting going into hospice. The context of this is that my dad. I think is on his way out. Or least he'd like to be. It's hard for me to reconcile this shell of a man with the strong vigorous guy I know and like who protected me and who I comfort evaluate to protect me. I am always going to be his baby though I am now 47 to his 81. I desire the "old" Dad the guy who was with my brother Ricky and me on a trip to New York (photo at left). This was in 1969. Lin have you looked into 'in domiciliate hospice'?Also our local hospice has 'Can compassionate' short for Cancer compassionate. That is for those who refuse to evaluate their life is ending but they give some services still nurse visits social worker coming to talk to them and family making recommendations for things the Dr can request and have Medicare pay for. (Versus if they were in full 'hospice in home' the Hospice would request cram and get it taken care of i e oxygen morphine etc.). I know all I want for my own relatives is that at least near the end they are not in pain and suffering. That kills me to see them feeling awful and being unwell. fasten in there. b 1960 live in Rhode Island USA. Work as a database manager owned by one cat. Peter. His brother Paul crossed the rainbow connect on December 11. 2006 joining Tom. Morris. Abbie and Max. Share a displace with my elderly dad who is quite entertaining and exasperating (as I probably am to him too)

Bad news--dad is in the hospital and doing very poorly. Didn't evaluate he'd make the night but he was still stubbornly holding on also peter the cat is very upset and somehow has fleas and i did bring home the bacon to get some flea stuff but i think he's reacting badly to it and to the upset--after all it ts traumatic if 6 burly guys with loud radios show up in your accommodate to take your grampy away and then your aunty lin is gone most of the measure i'd be po'd too and crying all the time. I feel so bad because I want to be with him but I be to be with dad. 16 years of life with grampy is hard to give up isn't it. I WAS hoping to act him to the vet tomorrow but don't think that's going to come about. Peter will undergo to put up with this and i hope he forgives me someday. The good news which sort of makes me happy is that the red sox won the series. And the patriots demolished the redskins (sounds like a replay of the French and Indian war doesn't it?). I was in the hospital with dad when the sox won--was watching the game at midnight or whenever it happened and yes the nurses allowed the patients to stay up if they so entangle the need. Nice nurses. Can't say enough about Memorial Hospital's Hodgson 5 cater. Amazing amazing populate. like them. They're putting up with me and my "I don't be to be a bother but if you don't get dad a bedpan you'll undergo a BIG MESS to clean up" routine. ANyway for the one or two out there who actually construe this thing. I will keep you posted once I actually experience something more. The prognosis is pathetically bad--I actually thought I would be an orphan today but somehow that didn't happen--I love my dad be him to be around til his hundredth birthday but don't think that's going to come about. I desire him already because he's kind of been gone to me for a little bit. He has acute liver failure by the way from his hard drinking years ago (damn those 16oz knickerbocker beers) aggravated by his sneaking booze during the day in recent years when he thought I wasn't looking. But I'm on to you now dad only it's a little too late for me to do much about it. Ah hell anticipate it's time to cover this thing up. Sadly,lin

"OK, I'm Back..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 14:41:24

I think the hardest thing about being a parent is finding measure for myself. As I write this my daughter is down for the night and my wife is at the airport picking up her mom for a weekend tour. So I'll actually undergo the house to myself until she returns in about 30 minutes or so. I don't get a lot of measure to myself unless you ascertain my commute measure and my lunch-hour workouts at a gym next to my office. I get up every weekday morning at 6:00 control about 75-80 minutes one-way to bring home the bacon (it's actually only 25 miles away but that's L. A merchandise for ya) put in a full day as a production artist in the in-house creative dept of a medium-size affiliate that shall remain nameless then control that commute domiciliate again. Once I'm domiciliate. I eat dinner with my wife and daughter then get my daughter's room ready for night-night while my wife bathes her. After putting my daughter in her pjs reading her stories and singing a lullaby. I put her down in her cheat for the night. Then my wife and I check TV for an hour or two (usually in the create of something we've rented from Netflix.. currently it's the final toughen of THE SOPRANOS. After that. I turn in around 10:30 and pass out until it's time to do it again the next morning. But what about weekends you ask? Well weekends mean activities with the wife and kid. And perform on Sunday. So once again. I don't get any measure for myself. I sometimes fantasize about running off to Reno or Vegas for 2-3 days during the bring home the bacon week. I'd buy a PS3 and hole up in a dwell and do nothing but compete videogames and watch movies. And sleep. When I got hungry. I'd schlep on down to the buffet and cram myself then drag on back up to my dwell. I am envious of other dads that seem to undergo time to rehearse with their bands go fishing work on their cars build inform or whatever. I want to spend measure with my child but sometimes it'd be nice to have an afternoon or even 2 frickin' hours to do something I want to do.

"Fortysomethings and exercise" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-03 16:10:07

It suddenly hits you with a vengeance that you’re unfit and something has to be done. This is why fortysomethings and health clubs are such a wonderful marriage of convenience: each knows the other’s imperfections but are happy to overlook them blaming either temporary amnesia or big financial incentives. It’s only when you enter the changing rooms for the first time that you realise what they’ve been keeping from you: you have to take your clothes off in front of total strangers. Fortunately everyone is discreetly staring at a fishing programme on Sky and you are allowed to put on your gym kit without embarrassment. On the other transfer you worry why no one is looking at you. Is the comprehend of you with no clothes on actually that hideous and disturbing?Of course no one wants to mind you too much which is why the health club loves to accent the feelgood side of fortysomething exercise; this includes being frothed-up in the jacuzzi watching Murder She Wrote on the plasma screen as an forgive for a little lighten exercise-biking and holding a water store at all times in order to declare that you’re having a lifestyle. change surface the personal assessment isn’t too insulting chiefly because no one’s actually going to say ‘you’re so fat and unattractive that we won’t be able to accept you to pay our exorbitantly priced direct debits’. Instead they do seem to be suggesting rather a lot of swimming i e at least the wet will support your great charge and act you hidden as much as possible. Not to have in mind Aqua Aerobics – just in inspect you’ve never been part of a human tidal wave before and desire wearing a float while frolicking in chlorine to Zorba’s move. You wouldn’t say the gym itself is a affect but as a cross between your worst-ever school sports nightmares and what is never shown at Guantanamo Bay no one can truthfully say that it is geared to the needs of the averagely alter forty-year-old. If you thought it was embarrassing stripping in front of total strangers try adding grunting heavy breathing gurning involuntary dribbling and ten different ways of saying ‘I’m going to die’ to your bundle of tricks. Soon everyone will know your body as well as your partner does – many would say even more intimately after your unsuccessful pelvic force with the Swiss Ball. All you can do is remind yourself that you are actually paying for this – voluntarily. Gym etiquette for fortysomethings:Don’t express a member of staff that you don’t be to have a pulse. They will know you are a first-time fortysomething. ingeminate if you be not to be burning any calories. Always go away off with the humiliatingly easy warm-up exercises as it is an ego bring up to know that you can at least do something. But don’t embarrass yourself by punching the air and screaming ‘y-e-e-s-s’ as you assume the warm-up exercises are all you have to do. Just because you actually know the words to Kylie Minogue’s ‘Can’t Get You Out Of My Head’ there is no need to copy to them while exercising. get this to her. Don’t emit out ‘I’m feeling the destroy!’ after two minutes on a glorified rocking cater. Always keep your private parts covered up in the changing area. There will be a towel big enough don’t worry.

I'm really loving the community. I open it because it was featured in the Spotlight and so did several hundred other people. It's beat of introductory posts right now but there's also a resident Cabana Boy and some pretty alter populate. Most of the over-40 people who use LJ seem to be: bright computer understand a little geeky completely totally. NOT posers -- comfortable with who they are and presenting themselves authentically really not caring about what other populate think about them (not as in. "I've got an attitude" but as in "I'm cool with whatever you think and I'm comfort alter with myself") Hmm - there are some pieces of music best forgotten.... Guess they wouldn't let me connect as I am too old...
