Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
Sounds like a meaningful and peaceful day. We do find closure in these final times of having everything settled.
Sending hugs your way today.
❤️❤️❤️
also want to say: don’t worry, i’m fine. just busy doing my things.
sending summer hugs!!
🏖🏖🍭🍭🍫🍫
I thought of a topic for a new thread but then realized it's not caregiving related so I'm bringing it up here. I was going to call it Getting Song Lyrics Wrong.
For instance: That song by Billy Idol, Eyes Without a Face. My DH thought the words were How's About a Date.
Neil Diamond's song Crackling Rosie? I thought it was Crackling Rosie peed on board. LOL
My mom thought the hymn Jesus Loves Even Me was Jesus loves Eve and me cause she had a sister named Eve. :)
Anyway, just thought it would be a fun topic. Share if you like.
Summers are always too hot where I live!
Funny topic.
But then people in BC often don't have A/C.
Oh my gosh, it would be a delightful not to need air conditioning!
Need, I prefer needing A/C to months of needing a heater or fire but, this record breaking heat is really tough this year.
We aren't even getting down to 77° overnight and I am soooooo done with summer already I would love a single day of 77°, it would be a reprieve to be sure :-)
I am always amazed at the difference tolerance levels based on where we live.
I hear you! I am done with summer too! I would also freeze during the winter months in colder climates.
Enjoy your retirement!!!
The site is weird right now but they are supposed to be working on it.
:)
It was a mystery.
But looking closer, it was fun recognizing who the poster was without seeing their name.
Still, a frustrating glitch. Hope it's fixed soon.
My dH said it has not been hacked, but may be from site development.
He said not to worry.
Can be bittersweet.
What are some of your plans for retirement?
Wishing you all the luck!! 🥳🥳
I got one the other day that actually interested me. I emailed back with the caveat that my availability is extremely limited and that I'm out of the country for the month of November. They came back even stronger, asking for a resume. Sent them another demurral this morning and they came back more insistently that they want to talk to me. So I sent them my bona fides and we'll see what happens!
Vancouver experienced what they referred to as a "heat dome" a couple of years ago and it was 44 celsius. Now that was freaking hot. Scary hot. So I know we've been lucky this year. I think the highest it's gotten this year is 33 celsius.
We do have an AC but I personally hate it. Hubs would love to have it on all the time but the noise and having frigid air blowing on me isn't a personal favorite of mine.
