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.
I hear her pulling up into driveway now.
Talk later y’all. Have a good night.
Chocolate is always the right choice! It has to be dark chocolate though.
If I want salty it’s almonds or popcorn. That’s what I had today, a bag of popcorn. Had a salad for lunch.
I need to make some soup soon.
cw,
Cookies!
I and happy to hear that he is doing well.
Way - I thought I was the only one who did that 🤣
Which snack do you eat first ? The sweet or salty ?
If I eat salty then I crave a piece of chocolate after .
CW, this post reminds me of your BIL. What’s going on with him? I certainly hope that situation has improved.
Now if I could only purge my closets this efficiently…….🙄🤪
does not mean others can start venting, then ranting!
Conversations are a two-way communication.
I love my friends on here, who are so very careful not to over-step boundaries. Sometimes, I wish they would share more, because I chose them to care about over the years.
When the kids were young we dressed up our greyhound in a skeleton costume to go trick or treating with us. It was perfect because greys are so thin!
She got her BBQ fix and said that the music festival was so much fun. She definitely shares my love of music! We have taken our kids to music festivals since they were young. I’ve always have music playing at home and in the car.
I don’t know anything yet. He has lived in Louisiana his entire life. I have no idea if his cremains will be placed in our family plot.
I do have two younger brothers, one who lives in D. C. and the other one is in Louisiana.
I’m not going to pry or push my sister in law into sharing anything right now. She knows that I am here for her if she needs me.
She’s in shock. She’s grieving and whatever she decides is fine with me. I suppose there will be a memorial service at some point in time.
I have no idea what my brother wanted. I honestly don’t think it was all that important to him. Years ago I asked him if he wanted his ashes to be placed in our family plot.
He told me that he wasn’t sure how he felt other than desiring to be cremated.
He probably would prefer that his wife does whatever she is comfortable with.
I heard a little girl tell her dad that she wanted to play with that wolf! Hahaha, too cute. Huskies do look like wolves.

Cool story about the daughter and her chess playing father.
My mom and her older brother both had Parkinson’s disease. They wanted to remain involved in life as long as they could.
My mom played solitaire every single day at the kitchen table. My uncle played his guitar daily until he entered the later stages of his Parkinson’s disease.
Parkinson’s affects everyone differently.
One thing that I always found fascinating with my mom was that she often had tremors when she was holding her coffee cup but when she wanted to sew, she could hold steady enough to thread the needle.
I've been mulling this over and my suspicious mind thinks that this person wants more than a simple chess player. That level of commitment either means the father is an obsessed master level player or is suffering from dementia and ruminates endlessly about playing - in the first case it may be difficult to find anyone to match that level of ability, and in the second scenario attempting to play would be quite challenging.
Someone is willing to pay $30 an hour for someone to play chess with her elderly father .
And a vacay for Pamzi!
Things are settling down here at home, the unsettling emotions that often come with a full moon are subsiding. Taking a break from too much phone and internet time helps too.
Just read online of a job that pays $60 for 30 minutes time, being an empathetic ear over the phone. No comment, I just thought many here would qualify. Tee Hee.
So very sorry for your loss of Merlin-cat.
It is so special when they choose you to be their person, and to live in your home by choice all those 16 years!
Very sad.
