Well, now I have something else to bitch about.
I have thyroid disease, diagnosed a couple years ago and I'm on Synthroid for it. A few months ago, I had an X-ray taken of my neck (not related to the thyroid prob) and the Dr noticed a calcified bump on my thyroid. I took this information to my MD and she had an ultra sound done and yep, there it was, a node about 1/2 in. across. This scared the crap out of me and I posted to a couple of places online where I trust the people in my area of vocation (I am a Master Herbalist and Natural Health Care Consultant). These folks are MDs, NDs, and other natural health practitioners. I was told that only the node would be removed and now today, the endocrinologist says that if I choose to go ahead and have the surgery (I can opt out and just have them keep an eye on it, too). that the surgeon will take half my thyroid out!!!

I am just so fucking pissed that there is such a cavalier attitude about cutting out half my thyroid when it isn't necessary at all. One ND says that the Iodoral she suggested I take daily will eventually shrink the node and I am checking into that, too. (BTW, Iodoral is what was used in the 50s and 60s to control hypothyroidism, but was abandoned because at the time the only way to take it was in a thick gloppy, nasty tasting mix. It is now in tablet form).
So, no, I am NOT having the surgery and will continue with the Iodoral and the "checking up" on it now and then. GGRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's great, Isis, and that is how I would like to deal with this kid, but she is not my granddaughter and her mother is truly crazy. It is an adrenal syndrome that runs in a particular and infamous Kentucky family, and my DIL (that's daughter-in-law, Norm), her older sister (the kid's mom), their dad and their brother have it. The younger sister doesn't seem to have it, tho. They have only the "fight" portion of the "fight or flight" instinct and would probably kill someone if pushed. I know this first hand as my DIL went after me, hit me at least 5 times along side the head, cut my ear (7 stitches), and left a purple goose egg on my left jaw. And what did my dear son do about it? He told me to get my things and get out.
He had to take me to the ER and I refused to lie to the people there or the cop when they called him. I didn't file charges that time, but I assured my son that I would next time. The DIL tried to tell me a long time ago that she could do whatever she wanted to me and if I called the cops, I would be the one to go to jail - which I knew was a lie, and backed up by the officer I talked to at the ER.
So why don't I leave? I am laid off from work and can't find another position. I should go back this month, but nothing written in stone. When I am working I make good money, but probably not quite enough to pay for an apartment where I could have my dog and cats, plus in the winter, I am right back where I am now. If I could go back to Oregon, I would, not that the economy is any better there.
If I didn't think one of my grandkids would find it, I would buy a gun as soon as I get my tax refund just in case. I've NEVER even been exposed to this type of shit in my life. I did not grow up in an affluent family or even close, but my parents taught me to have standards and integrity and I'm not finding any of it here.
Thank you so much for your support and if you have any suggestions about how to get out of here, please fire away. Thanks!

I don't mean to sound ignorant, but what is a "DIL"???

More shit going on here. I don't know if I ever mentioned it here - know I did over on Tears of the Goddess group - but about mid-January, my DIL (from Hell) assaulted me and I ended up in the ER. Now my son is out of town and the DIL let her oldest niece stay over and I'd just love to beat the shit out of that little bitch. I can't have a conversation with anyone without Brittany standing between us, glaring at me. This is the 9-yr old. Trying to teach her anything in a normal way does not work and I would just like to reach out and pop her one.

Her mother is just as psycho as my DIL only worse and her stepdad is crazy, too. So just telling this kid to stop being rude got me a warning to not say anything! I just can't believe! I am supposed to let this little shit talk to me any way she wants??!!!

O Gods! Please take me back home and away from these ignorant, dangerous people!

I am so pissed and frustrated I could explode! I need somewhere to go to get away from all this mayhem, but don't know where to go, so you folks get to hear about it.

Now, you must remember that I live with my son and the DIL from Hell. My son is on the other side of the country attending a funeral. He will be back tomorrow night. So last night, my DIL invited two of her nieces and her little sister and dad over for awhile. After her dad left with her little sister, we let the kids go wild just to let them blow off steam and wear themselves out. I tolerated that well because understood the concept.

So this morning, my DIL was going to take both nieces back to her older sister, and my oldest granddaughter asked if she could stay with me while everyone else went. I said OK. Next thing I know, she is asking her mom if the oldest niece can stay over another night. Answer: yes. Then it's to me, "Can Brittany stay with you, too, Grannie?" My answer - no. When everyone was out in the car, I told my granddaughter the reason why I did not want to watch Brittany. Brittany thinks that she doesn't have to do what I tell her to do. I don't know if that is something she came up with on her own or if someone put it in her head. Brittany seems to think that should she do something that warrants so much as a chewing out, all she has to do is tell her mother and her mother might decide to put me in the hospital. I don't need this crap. Just a few minutes later, the DIL came back into the house and made the granddaughter put on her shoes and sock and go with them all.

Now, my bitch: this kid is NINE years old. Her mother is psychotic - hell, my DIL is psychotic. The little shit was in the kitchen this morning, while I was sitting on the couch with my laptop. There is no wall between the two rooms so I could see everything. She stands in front of the range, perusing the assortment of spices there, then reaches up and takes the kitchen timer that is sitting among them and casually walks back to the granddaughters' bedroom. I called to her, telling her she needed to come back to the living room, but she just ignored me and kept going. I finally had to get up and go get the damned thing back from her and explain to her that it belongs in the kitchen and she is not to play with it. I put it back and about a half hour later, I came back to my room which is across the hall from the granddaughters' room. About 15 minutes later, I hear the timer go off in their room. I go in and Brittany and the oldest granddaughter are on the top bunk and I demand that they fork it over. And they LIE! My granddaughter was over that stage, but evidently Brittany has convinced her to go back to bad old habits. They sat there and pointed fingers at each other for awhile before I finally got it back and took it back to the kitchen.

What really got me going a few minutes ago though was my grandson desperately needs a nap to the point that he is constantly screaming. My DIL has taken him downstairs to be with her with the hope that he will fall asleep, while the girls are supposed to be upstairs watching TV. But Brittany can't stand the thought of not being in control, so she goes downstairs and starts playing with the boy. He's in a crappy mood because he's tired and comes upstairs, slamming doors and acting like a horse's ass so he gets in trouble from me. Immediately, here comes Brittany, followed by the DIL, who is pissed because I swatted the boy on the butt and told him to lay down and take a nap. (a swat on the butt in this household is nothing to what used to be done before I came along and put a stop to it). The DIL takes him back downstairs and after waiting about two beats, there goes Brittany back down to torment him again.

Now this kid has my oldest granddaughter (age 7) thinking she is so cool and Kirstin wants to be just like her. Unfortunately, we found out that Kirstin and the younger granddaugher stole candy from the local Kroger about a month ago. I am fairly certain that Brittany has shown Kirstin how to do it when they were together in the past.

Of course, my DIL ignores all of this stuff and I am not sure why. I know she doesn't condone the stealing. My son, on the other hand, goes right through the roof. If it is true that Brittany has had anything to do with inspiring my granddaughter to steal, no one has approached her parents. Her stepdad, also a psychopath, would probably beat her, and that would just bring her full circle to do it again. The mother is just fucking crazy and I'm waiting for the day that she crosses the wrong person and they put a bullet in her head.

OK so that's my bitch and I feel much better. Don't be surprised if I am back later today, tho.
