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.
But, I have moments of feeling weak. I too am anemic. Since I was a child.
Everyday I really try and eat beans, spinach and broccoli and raisins. There are also some cereals I eat that are iron rich.
Are you getting enough iron?
Do you feel faint ever?
And I believe that if systolic gets below 90 and diastolic gets below 60 then it is too low.
My problem today is my blood pressure. It's getting too low I think. It was 94 over 84 yesterday. Every time I get up from a sitting position or even just lean over I feel like I'm going to faint. The doctor thinks I'm fine but when does low become too low? Does anyone know?
Someone left the ceiling fan blades out in the rain.
Not showering after weed pulling resulted in allergic response at midnight,
requiring change of sheets and showering.
No longer buying paper plates at all.
Expensive Uber rides.
Just another day in the life....
And what good did the blue lights on the buildings do? Autism Awareness Day is over.
Cwillie,
How are things with Nephew, moving, settling in, the police academy?
Mother's hearts need to know.
He also calls April Fools Day: "National Atheists Day".
Unexpected, yes. But not so weird, as your life goes on, and her memory stays with you.
Tears to follow....
Found it sticking out from an outlet .....he was standing on the electrical cord behind the headboard.
His chirp was so tiny and quiet, wondering if he knew he was lost?
Only turned my attention away for a moment to do paperwork.
That list of essentials would be for my hubs if he moved away. LOL.
I would keep the chocolate, and give him my stuffed bunny though.
Chocolate, popcorn, and chips.
Espresso machine, coffee grinder, and 4 cups.
Fruit-of-the-month Club delivery, bottled water delivery.
I have just received an invitation to my ex's stepdaughter's wedding in June.
I know this sounds nice. Tchah. What it actually is is a giant sign that reads "Danger - Minefield ahead."
But they're all so hopeless! The little store I go to daily has a stand for the local newspaper; this week's headline is: "Failing School Gets Worse." It's not what you'd call enticing, exactly, is it.
Kettle
Combi microwave oven
Nesting glass/Pyrex dishes for use with same
Stand of four chopping boards - JosephJoseph does a good one for not much money
Iron (good one, feeble ones are a false economy)
Ironing board (big enough or he'll waste time juggling)
Towels and bedlinen - Rule of 3 (one on, one spare, one in the wash)
Capacious and portable laundry bag so he can haul it easily to the laundrette (which might do service washes at a fair price if he asks nicely)
That's my two cents on the 'Bear Necessities' - but CW you know what? This is his comfort and economy, and erratic GF is his chosen point of contact, and it isn't reasonable for the rest of the family to be chasing their tails trying to compensate for poor communication on their part! If you can nail the girl down on one thing, make it the inventory for the house he's being given - then you'll know where the gaps are.
Have you been following the closure of the horse race track?
Hope they get it fixed.
Yes, the auntie needs a vacay, 2000 miles away.
I see a little silhouetto of a man
any chance you can travel to the tiny town and get his placed settled in for him ?
