when they are awake, they are putting me down with everything that they would not talk about when he is sober. Even things that I have no idea were bothering him and also anything in the past I have suggested doing or taking part in, he tells me how ridiculous or stupid or impossible it is and I shouldn't do it. He is drinking till he is so drunk he falls asleep around 7 or 8pm all the while awake just putting me down and opposing anything I even say. I don't even try to have a conversation with him, so then he just drags up all his complaints. How to I work around that. I have tried to talk to him when he is sober, (during the day) but with no avail. Or first thing in the morning and he refuses. It has really hurt me on occasion to the point, I feel like it is not worth staying and I should leave. This is my second partner. I was married 35 years, but left. Religious reasons. I had or have never had to deal with alcoholic problems in growing up or marriage. This is all 8 years new to me, living with an actively drinking 3 to 4 nights a week till he sleeps. He is a great person until he starts the drinking about ever other night. It starts around 4 - 4:30pm through supper and then till he crashes. Then he sleeps all evening and gets up around 5am and figures I should do the same thing also. He is not insistent as he knows that is ridiculous but still he harps that I should go to bed earlier, I am not sure why as he is really not much company. He gets up and goes on computer for the first 3 to 4 hours every morning. By that time I get up. I don't rush, what is the point. He just wants to be left alone until about 9am. I notice if he doesn't drink for about 3 days, he is really extra sweet and smart. Just not sure where this is going?????

Concrete block wall, below ground level, unfinished on inside,, where do I start? FT home owner, but ready to do it myself.

I wash and scrub with soap,(very gently) trust me as my hand is very sore, but now the smell just doesn't go away. I smell it all the time even when the brace is on. Taking it off is just putrid.

I was drinking with a straw and somehow it spilled right down the front of my sunshine yellow shirt. I saw it before I washed and thought it just some liquid as there was no colour. Well you never saw such a disastrous colour almost like dark red. Well I tell you I tried everything. Down South they told me to use Vinegar Salt and Lemon Juice. I have done that now many times.

is still faintly visible. Anyone know anything else to try.

I have been given a Satin Evening dress and it needs a light washing. I would like to put it into the washing machine and give it a light tumbling and then hang it. Has anyone any experience with washing a golden yellow satin. Just gave the colour for a reference.

We are snow birds and looking again for a 3-month moderately priced location in Costa Rico. I would like to be on the Caribbean side with a good swimming spot in the ocean. My question? Does anyone know of any place or a contact. We look for a swimming pool and close walking distance to the Caribbean with our own self contained apartment. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I thought I got it all, I came into contact 3 years ago, I have done all the reading up through the internet and also any articles I can find. I have been to the Doc's and have prescription cream, but still it is not enough.

Does anyone have any tricks to getting rid of it on the grounds?

and I just can't believe I have spots on me again. It is like someone splattered me with a spray of milk. Not a lot just spots all over. What a mess and so painful and itchy. Any suggestions?

I do lots of gardening, very physical, moving rocks, sifting sand from rocks, lots of bending and carrying bags of soils, feet are problems but different? Do you have any suggestions?.
