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.
Hey, don't get down on yourself, this is, after all "General Topics" thread, created by Gershun for times such as these!
Of course you are still a caregiver, Cwillie! This just happens to be "Caregiver Recovery Time" for you! Like visiting your baby niece, meeting up with old friends, visiting the town mascot, you know, a break from the intensive hands-on caregiving part.
But I think I know what you mean. Feeling unappreciated?, a ghost of a person after what you went through? But still with some of the most valuable caregiver-to-caregiver answers around. But loved by your fellow caregivers as always. Still vigilant and watchful after your mother's care. Darn it! She's still a caregiver!
There is no escaping it, sorry.
Reeling. Kinda dizzy, like when I came out from under that sink.
Looking across my yard, there is the neighbor, putting up Christmas lights!
Feeling nauseous, why can't she trim the hedges so I can see to leave my driveway? Or so people can actually see the decorations?

So what was it doing stuck all day at Heathrow? Probably being interrogated by MI5. What is the purpose of your visit? (providing emergency assistance with Fair Isle pattern) Are you a member of any proscribed organisation? (um, is Etsy proscribed..?)
This for granddaughter, cancel everyhing else.
Though now I come to think of it I could probably have bodged something together using kitchen paper towel holders, superglue and a small plank. But this will be much smoother and prettier. And anyway I've bought it now.
I'm puzzled by the wood-turning relationship. What is this object called? I too will hit the search button - I need to find out about this.
Those Fair Isle and Fisherman's knit patterns can be complicated, but they are so lovely.
CM, BTW, do you have access to any of the Mon Tricot knitting patterns? I used to buy them during the 1980s but haven't seen them in years. They had the most stunning patterns.
CWillie, I hate it when neighbors play such juvenile games over property lines. Most of them don't even understand what platted property is or that surveys delineate the property lines. One who fortunately died (he was a junkie and I believe was the one burglarized my house) thought the location of the trees marked property lines.
There was this girl getting bullied and her cat went missing. Apparently, the bullies got her cat, gave it a bleach bath among other things, then threw it out their car window.
Then, sent her video of the whole incident.
Miraculously, the cat survived and is being cared for at the vet and they caught the scum that did it and even posted his stupid face on the news. Good! I hope karma bites him in the a**.
The name rang a bell but it looks as if it, along with others, has gone west alas. I also mourn the loss of Pingouin (there are still a few yarns being made under the brand name but it's a shadow of its former self and nobody's publishing its wonderful patterns) and Jaeger.
I had a ransom note this morning. Yarn holder has been arrested and is in custody at the Post Office's secret dungeon behind the railway station. They are demanding £27.74 with menaces that if I don't pay up within 21 calendar days it will be deported.
Which is a bit much, actually! Humph. I've already paid that much for international postage and at this rate the shipping will cost more than the item. I wonder if someone forgot to stick the right sticker on it in Chicago..?
