Ok, let me get this straight. The son is living in an assisted living apartment which most likely is rather small. Mom lives in her house and has 3 rooms full of rocks she's received on behalf of her son, but he's not there to see them. The only time he sees anything anyone has sent to him is when mom brings them to his apartment. He has probably not seen even 1/3 of what people have sent to him.

There's something terribly wrong with that scenario in my opinion. I am not that forgiving of people who take advantage of other peoples good will and willingness to help. But that's just me.

The rocks are mostly in his apartment. Almost everything is sent to his address. His care givers and him open most of the packages. Mom has taken some of them after he sees them.
Many are displayed on shelves and in a cabinet. Some sitting on tables.

Listen to the rock. The rock knows its destiny. It will guide you in fulfilling that.

That makes it a little better. At least he sees them all.

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
