Rustling Leaves

My wife has terminal cancer and her prognosis is bad... She has had Chemo, which hasn’t worked, her consultant will not prescribe cannabis and both my wife and I felt like she had almost written her off from day 1... With all the hell we have been through over the last 18 months, she has never had the time to process the severity and she is currently in hospital, unable to come home and is expected to be housebound (if not bed bound) when she goes home (to our new home, where I am in the process of moving to). She really needs an influx of great strength, which may help her to defeat this terrible disease... Her name is Kim... Thank you...

sorry for the delay in answering... In answer to the questions... Yes we would very much like to move, but, our council don't want to see the evidence and appear to be siding with the landlord. We are still under their influence to a degree in as much as they are our landlord and I am worried every time I check my email that there will be something from them . The major positive that happened recently was when taking me to court (surrounding a car I had been loaned by the landlord), the judge ripped her apart. I would like her removed from our lives completely and sadly at the moment, I have no ideas how to do it. We both feel trapped and just struggling to move forwards...

I don't quite know where to start in this, but, here goes... About 2 years ago, some 'friends' decided that they would help my wife and I. They gave us use of a car and a suitable bungalow to live in. Neither if these we asked for nor needed, but, we got whirlwinded into the situation. Fast forward 18 months and these friends took great offence at a very minor misunderstanding (that was not of our doing) and without even talking to us turned very nasty towards us. They have done everything they can to make both my wife and I incredibly insecure, terrified when we go out and the sight of a car similar to theirs gives us both panic attacks (to the point playing a computer game I saw a similar vehicle and had a panic attack). We are both mentally, physically and spiritually drained and whilst have attempted to shield ourselves we just don't have any strength left between us. If anyone has any strength to spare could you offer some out to hold our shield. Thanks in advance...

The only problem is finding a place on housing benefit, so many places are closed to housing benefit that it is an apparent form of legal predjudism. If you look at the rightmove website in your price range, you will see that about 80% of the adverts say no housing benefit (or dss, lha, etc), and around 80% of those remaining are also the same when you phone up. We were searching hard from the beginning of November until mid February and only managed to see 7 houses (2 of these the agent either didn't appear or didn't have the keys for)... I truly hope that you find any transition goes smoothly...

cheers for your support guys... I do really appreciate it...

Unfortunately we have o choice other than to accept it, as time is up... Fully agree with what you say though...

At the beginning of February the council decided that they would rehouse us. On the 11th February the notified us that there is a bungalow that we would be able to have in a nice little village not too far away. The 1st viewing of the property we could have was yesterday (28th February), when we determined that none of our major furniture would fit in the property, meaning we have to get a replacement smaller sofa and replacement fridge freezer (as the slot in the kitchen is only big enough for a slimline fridge freezer, we knew we would have to replace our cooker as our current one is fitted. On going to collect the keys today (which they didn't have in the end), they told us that we have to get rid of all of our reptiles as they will not give us permission to have them. Really not impressed with the whole situation, I feel like we have been lied to at every step of the way... Sick and tired of being treated like this and feel that the council just want us to commit suicide...

Jevne, the reason I don't work at them moment is due to me caring for my wife who has moderate moblity issues. Unfortunately downsizing isn't an option, I have een very heavily hit by property price crash and sadly have about £50000 in negative equity, otherwise, I would have sold the house a very long time ago. The council have been little help (apart from making both my wife and I feel like dirt) and have effectively told us that we are intentionally making ourselves homeless..

Since November last year, I have been fight my mortgage company, trying to keep my house... Unfortunately I lost my battle the other day and now I am looking for a new home. I saw a stunning house, that was perfect for our needs last month and all appeared to be going well until the very last minute, when we were told that the landlord wanted a family in the house and not just my wife and I... We are continually looking for houses, but, we feel as though we are fighting a battle against prejudism (My wife is disabled and means that I can not go out to work) surrounding our need to make payment with housing benefit. I feel completely bogged down with the stress surrounding the whole situation and I am terrified current circumstances... My energies are almost completely drained and I am seeing time running out very rapidly... Both my wife and I need protection around us (that Neither of us have the energies to build at the moment) and a suitable house to become our new home... Please help and thaks in advance...

On the Johnny Depp/Tim Burton list, Dark Shadows is worth a look at...

As has been pointed out, Comfrey is highly toxic which, when ingested can lead to liver failure and has also been linked with some cancers as well as other health issues. As a salve it works well in aiding the bodies healing for fractures, sprains, burns, etc, but, again, usage should be kept at a fairly low level...

This sounds really nasty to be honest... I have had dealings with a few vampires in the past, but, none have operated in this manner... Mostly they have drawn energies in by focusing on a potential target and feeding off them in that way... I usually have a reflective shield around me to reflect back anything trying to attach or feed from my energies, however, I would suspect this would just attract this particular vampire even more... About the only thing I could suggest in this instance would be to energise something else (perhaps a salt cellar) to act as a shield which may in turn break down the energy of the vampire...

In my opinion the majority of those that wear the blatently witchy style of clothing are usually either confused Wiccans or Goths... I personally wear regular clothing...
