This man I know offered to split a hog with me when it went to slaughter. Since I've had pork at his house before, I thought 'this is gonna be good' like it always was when my parents had a hog slaughtered. This meat is so wild it's probably worse than a javalina raised on juniper berries. I brined a roast over night and then smoked it. Still wild as all get out. Wouldn't even give it to my dog. I realize the sausages are a lost cause, but is there anyway I can get that nasty taste out of the rest of the meat?

Thanks in advance.

He is not a rapist, murderer, child molester. He's in prison for a felony DUI. Never physically harmed anyone but himself. He is bipolar and has mentally and spiritually abused me in the past. On meds now. I'm not in the mood for it again and wish for him to never live with me.. I'd llike to put him in a half-way house (but he has to want it to make it work), but other than that, I'll just give him a loan to get a rental and on his feet after he's out of prison .

Please don't judge. Ppl make their own choices. I simply choose not to go broke for someone who has hurt my soul so badly, but I do wish for him to have a posivive future. I hope you understand.

Would I be more of an enabler by loaning (or giving) him money for a months rent somewhere until he can find a job and get on his feet? I mean, where else will he obtain the cash? I have it to give. I just want him out of trouble, and I want my son back, the way he used to be. I just don't really want to be 'involved' with his rehab stuff. That's on his plate. He's an adult now.

Perhaps I seem like a lame mother to some of you, but I assure you, I am not. I adore my son and this decision hurts me very much. Can't have him in my house due to my gun collection, plus the past treatment toward me.

He does love me. When he's not in his 'down' season with the bipolar, he's out in the yard, tearing down the shed, mowing the lawn and weed wackin my acreage, doing the burn pit, checking out the roof, securing the decks.......... I dunno.

I feel guilty not wanting him to live here ever again. I'm not wrong. Right??

Just your honest thoughts, please; and thank you.

I went to toolbar.yahoo.com and still did not obtain it.

What happened was that my cat walked across my keyboard and Lord only knows what happened when he did that! Now I have no toolbar to be seen (I believe it's above where my monitor ends) and I have no 'tags' at the bottom of my page to be able to flit from one subject to another. I know the cat did something with the keyboard and the toolbar just flipped way up. Whatever page I'm on fills the entire page so as not to allow room for a toolbar.

Can someone please help me find out what happened to the toolbar and how I can get it back?

Thanks in advance.

Believe me, chef's are not overpaid personnel at a restaurant. We work hard at pleasing the customer and the wait staff gets the tips. Oh yes, they are suppose to give a certain percentage of their tips to the chef's (in most restaurants) but........
