Not sure where to post this, so here is my latest FB post and am requesting your help.
My son and his girlfriend bought a rickety old boat last summer. They spent months patching, fixing, painting it so it would be a safe home for themselves here on the bay. It didn't have heat or electricity but they had a place to live and were happy to be clean and sober. It was cold and extremely stormy last week and they didn't get much sleep so once things calmed down, they came to spend a warm night near a heater here at my place yesterday. This morning, Patrick received a call that his boat had been stolen during the night. Everything they owned was on that boat including his small collection of guitars. We've been out searching all day and in contact with Coast Guard, etc. but no luck. He's called everyone at the harbors and offered a small reward but no one seems to have much hope. They are devastated and I for them. Please keep them in mind in your prayers, vibes, Light, whatever. Let's manifest that boat! Her name is "da Kine" and she is loved ... and desperately needed.

Coast Guard called. The boat was found way out near Duxbury Reef past Bolinas Lagoon ... out in the wild blue Pacific. It would have had to maneuver through and around about 60 or more boats in the harbor, drift around Sausalito, under the Golden Gate bridge and many miles up the coast. They think someone towed it out of the Gate and set it loose. Only one they can think would do that is a creep who's been stalking P's girlfriend. They pointed him out to me today. We'll go to Army Corps of Engineers tomorrow to get da Kine, where the CG has towed her. Hoping everything will be there. They said to thank you all for your help. THANK YOU! I was worried for P and E because they've worked so hard to clean themselves up and get their act together and I know what losing one's home and all possessions can do to your mental health. We're very grateful.

Full kudos to the family for sorting themselves out, the CG for finding the boat and bad sass to those who did that to those who are trying so hard to turn their lives around for the better.
Wow - a vegetarian cat. Not too many of them around.

Oh no , that's awful Ethel. I'm glad their boat has been found and fingers crossed nothing was stolen. Knowing it's been found will go a long way to restoring their thoughts to good ones. And as for that swine who stole the boat, I would tell you what I think but, well, being a Christian woman I can't.

see? once again - vibes work! I'm so glad the boat was found and they will get it back quickly! and cats can get SO drunk on catnip that they pass out! ( happened to my Aunt's cat one Christmas - I had grown catnip and made little packages for all the family cats. this one had fallen into the large box with all the scrumpled up wrapping paper - hours later, after dinner we realized no one had seen the cat for hours.. found her out cold in the bottom of the box -covered in shredded catnip!

My son and I thank you so much for your kindness, thoughts, prayers, etc. I'm certainly proud of him and the way he handled himself through all of this.

That's an excellent video annie. Most people, myself included would have no idea what to do. Baby infant welfare centres and the like should have this running in the waiting room.

The forecaster got it wrong but if it's going rain DO IT. This drizzle is nothing but a nuisance.

How would you have reacted? Was in a bookshop and while I am paying, I hear a blast on the desk.. A woman shouts at the lady who is charging me, and shouts " SEE? I found it in two seconds while you wanted to send me to another mall" "It was not THAT HARD TO FIND IF YOU HAD PUT ANY EFFORT" all this with sarcasm and bad tone on a girl age 20? in a menial job... Two guys of the shop ( manager I think and another employee looked what happened and said nothing)
The girl looks at the book and says " this is not the one you asked me. It is a trilogy? trilogia and you wanted the first, this is not the first, the first book, as I told you before is on xxx branch now" all in a decent tone, very kind and fumming...
I looked at the girl, almost crying ( both, she and I, I felt identified with work situations I went through recently) and start telling her to retort to the idiot who had no manners and could not add 2+2... The girl did not react... no one defended her
Would you have told the idiot what she deserved?
I said in a very low tone she was a rude bastard ( in very argie words she must have heard for sure)...
how would you have reacted?
