Bless your heart castoff, I hope you can get through this with your sanity still intact. I'm afraid mil butt is breaking down again, cuz she won't change when diapers are wet. I'm going to have to start dragging her into the bathroom regardless of what she says and making her change.
Ramp.....inspector won't sign off, told Mike he has to put a hand rail on top of the hand rail.....yes, he will be moving in here till February now...should be done about then...
Grossed out? Need to dream? I want to go to the beautician. No botox, just good creams. I want to go to a very good hair stylist. I want to buy some nice clothes. I want to find a beautiful man and fly to Spain, Barcellona or Andalusia, and do the movida for one week. Eat, drink, dance in the streets, stay up until late in the night. And then I want to have some personal good time with the beautiful man. Am I asking too much? One week like this would set me up for a long time.
ask santa clause to bring you the dream , lalala . i wanna wanna wanna everything too . tucked dad in bed a bit ago , took him to dr today , BP is wonderful, heart rate is great . darvocets no more . says to give him reg tyenol . i about shit . dr walked in and saw dad and said oh my u look great ! :-) dad s happy camper to find out his prostate is good . makes me happy . but dr ask him about the tumor on his bladder , dad said to leave em alone . doesnt want any operation ,radation ,chemo . just leave it alone . :-( . i dont know how long that ll last ? talked to my brother about that today he said he agrees with dad , havin all that may do more damages than it is now . dad says to leave it alone . i have to agree with him on that too .
came home and hubby had filled up the wood box full of firewood , aww i love my hubby , i told him he should have waited on me i would have help him , he said nana u were busy runnin around . took dad to wendy s drive up window , he s on cloud nine . ate happy . i told dad u perk up alot when we go bye bye he said yes i like going bye bye , lol todays been a good day , hope u all have had a good day too , xoxoox
I might fly to Spain with Santa Claus and spare the trouble of finding a beautiful man! I agree that at the age of your father an operation to remove the tumor can be more dangerous than the tumor itself. And do you think he would stand chemio and radio? No-no.
rossella yes i agree . my mom had first chemo and says no more ! and let the cancer grow and spread and died happy knowin shes gonna go meet her master . god bless her . hey tell santa to comeby and pick me up i wannago to spain with you guys , :0) , ill ride the red nose , u sit with santa , throw toys down the chimney , woo .
Here I am again ~ checking in, near another milestone. The next post will be 6,100. Amazing!!! One frustrating little event in Bobbie's bathroom caused us to have a major gathering of kindred souls. Thanks Bobbie!!! I am still laughing over your "Bite Me, Amber Jane" comment! I've been feeling like using that line often lately!
This, the 6100 post, should be something profound. Don't know if that's what this will be but here goes. I, personally, would like to thank Bobbie for sharing that one event that starting something that has provided and continues to provide so much support for so many, for being our captain who keeps us sailing together in the same direction and gives so much of herself to us. We couldn't have a better captain for this ship that faces so many storms, rough water and weight so heavy it comes close to sinking. The support, caring, love that is displayed here is so unbelievable, so much more than most of us get from our own blood relatives - it's amazing. Love and peace to all tonite and in the days to come. As rip would say - Cheers! xoxoxo
I love you guys. Thanks for the amazing things you guys said.... poor Amber Jane. what a great name to be bitten by.
In jacksonville. Tennessee! you are right. driving the boat not such a big deal. Parking the boat.....well there you go... Boat's safe, I'm safe, nothing damaged NO HEAT Standing here tied up at the downtown dock with no shore power and I'm wearing a blanket. people can see in the boat and I look like a Plains Indian.
Mooned a Carnival cruise ship today. someone's got to do it.
going to put a Deadliest Catch dvd in (I have battery power but not enough to get heat... will fix) and crawl under every blanket on the boat, Trying to talk the Cat into sitting on my feet.
More later and thanks for your prayers and well wishes. It worked!
*I was thinking that about her (A J) name too! Your comment was necessary ... for several beyond her too. There are those of us who are very deep in our comradery .... can't be taunted by ignorance, especially during a crisis.
Moon some Holland American snob ships while you're at it! Happy hoteling ...
wonderful !! so glad to hear from you bobbie , talked to bro tnite he said suppose get cold front comin in fla , low 30 s ! he lives in the middle of fla . hope tmr warms up fast for u and kitty , whoa u mooned the curise ship lol . how long did it take u to get to jacksonville ? sounds like it took u all day 12 hrs ? keep in touch so we wont have to worry about u out on adventure all by urself , well almost kitty ... will continue to keep on praying for your safety . xoxox
Bobbie, glad you made it and everything went well. I got another legal letter,this one from the mayor of town. It was a very general written letter, so I called the local newspaper to find out if what he was trying to do was legal. The city hall is only open until noon so she called the mayor at home and asked a question,she said he was very rude and immediately mentioned my name. She said she felt I was being picked on and targetted still. Its funny how some people seem to get there rocks off by making other people miserable and trying to cause problems for them. Big cities have nothing on small towns with all of their corruption. You have a small group of people running the town and no recourse,unless some lawyer can see he can get rich off of it. Still,can't believe in America, there is a explosives plant, rock throwing distance to the elem. school. You would not see that is a rich neighborhood. I asked my daughter what she wanted for Xmas and she said for me to be happy and a tractor. She still halfway believes in Santa and a tractor cost more than my house is worth. She even told me today maybe she should give up her Karate and her activities so there will be more money for a tractor.
My sister and her husband and MIL came over to the house today. Finally!! We had a pretty nice visit I guess but they treat hubby like crap. My SIL is nice to him and so is my BIL but my sis and bro aren't. I can't imagine how he must feel. If his family was that way with me I would be so hurt. Tomorrow is the day. First United Methodist Church, Decatur, IL at 2:00 pm. Service and then a luncheon. I am going to try to do my reading for my mom and if I can't the pastor will do it or he will read the rest if I have to stop. I am so dreading this. I know it's for my mom and I so want to honor her. It's just hard.
Dear Miz, one would believe that in days like the ones you are living, your brother and sister should calm down. Unfortunately people have no sense of opportunity. I am sorry! I think I have understood that your husband is a very intelligent man and he won't mind. A big kiss for tomorrow. I am glad you are going to read, or make read, your words....
Miz, I'll be taking some moments to send you good thoughts and wishes during the service, Know that you have done something that few people are strong enough, or good enough, to do. Ted.
miz , anybody that treats my hubby like shit will be out on t he porch ! ur husband has been with u thick and thin , no need anybody to come in and treat hubby like shit ! they have no idea !!! what he s been thru with ur mom and urself . that guy goe;s out there at 2 am lookin for a missing faimly cat and comes in crying cuz he found it , doesnt need to be treated like shit , that just burns my hindend ! was planing to come and suprise u but we are in for winter storm watch tmr and i think i best stay home where its safer , miz i realy thought i was going to suprise u and give u a real big bear hug , now i dont think its happening :-( damn snow storm !! grrrr . i love you and will be thinking of u tmr all day long ,, xoxoxox
Linda, you are such a sweetheart. And yes, please be safe. Your pa needs you and so do we. I can't begin to express how loved I feel on this thread and how very grateful I am. You all and my hubby have kept my sanity. You all fill my heart.
you know that we all will be there right inside your heart. Your mom and dad and my mom and dad and all the angels that have gone before are all with you. crowded? yes. Peaceful? absolutely.
I wrote a post last night, but for some reason it didn't stick on the thread...oh well...try again.
Miz, give that hubby of yours a great big hug from all of your AC family & tell him we'll be good to him! My hubby & I discussed coming to the service tomorrow, but he didn't think that he could ride that far. Please know that we'll be thinking about you. You'll do fine reading about your Mom! When my aunt passed I did the song Amazing Grace in sign language at her service, per her request. It was one of the hardest things that I've had to do, but I'm so glad that I did it to honor her, tears & all! I believe that you'll do great, but if you decide that it's too tough, don't feel bad about it...she know your heart! Will you please post later & let us know how the service went? I know we'd all like to hear.
Bobbie, I'm really concerned about you being cold & just getting over the creeping crud! Don't want you to relapse! What can we do for you to be warm?? Time to throw another kitty on the bed? Bengal Tiger on your feet? lol Seriously, what can we do? Glad that you got the boat moved ok. I have trouble parking a 15 ft. car, let alone a 58 ft. boat! I'm impressed!
Hope everyone is having a great & restful evening! Hugs & kisses to all... Peach : )
Hey, all. Bobbie, glad you safely parked the boat. Hope you stay warm tonite. Miz, whether or not you do your reading for your mom's service, SHE will know what's in your heart because of how you've cared for her. Don't feel bad if you can't get through it, let someone not so close say what you want others to know about your mom. You and she know what you had. Know that even though we can't be with you physically we are all there with you in our hearts. Love and peace to all.
peach , u know how to do sign langage . wow . me too ! :-) but u doing the amazing grace whoa i dont think i could do that . its so nice of u wantin to go be with miz , i was wanting to do that too , was plannin it but now with snow storm comin and i dont want to be out in it . shoot !! it would have been so awesome if we all met up ! miz u becareful out there tmr ok , hope the snow storm treats u with respects . love u all xoox
I used to like having time to myself in the mornings, but at this time of year it just feels lonely. I guess it's the Holidays. I sound like "Debbie Downer" Waa waa waa. Putting up some christmas lights outside, has cheered me up a little. Sending loving thoughts to Miz at the Service this afternoon.
I truly wish that I could be there too Miz but I can't. Take the bear and pop him in the front row! Miz you know how much you're loved? i think you do. i second the motion to give your husband a big hug. Let him hug that bear and that's us telling him what a great guy he is!
Hey peach! thanks for thinking of me. I'm ok. right now it's 55 degrees on the boat. We are docked facing NE so the sun is starting to bake the starboard side and is streaming in the big windows. I made a nice spaghetti the first night and cooking heated up the boat somewhat and heated up my insides. Yesterday i made a nice chicken soup and ate that all day. (anything I cook is: Nice) I'm getting better... still coughing a little but getting better all the same so no worries. today I am moving the boat into a marina and will be hooked up to shore power so I will have Heat AND hot water! AND a heated pool and hot tub! I plan on boiling my bones later today. We can't haul out at the boat yard that we came all the way up the ICW and St John's River to reach because we can't fit under the last bridge (way to do homework, Cap). It's funny how it all works out because right when I realized that the boat is not going to get there from here my buddy called from LA and I have some tv work here in Jacksonville this coming week. WooHoo. My buddy and i haven't talked in months and when he found out I was on my way to Jacksonville he took that as a sign and booked me as a field director on a reality shoot that HAPPENS to be in Jacksonville. Hilarious. I'm 10 minutes from the jacksonville airport and am starting my campaign to get Miz and her white knight to come to the boat! I'll have to vacuum!
So I'm just sitting here writing a good note (for a change) on Rip's wall and Mom walks by naked from the waste down and wants breakfast. So much for privacy issues in this house. Bobbie, after the Jville gig, shooot on the ICW to Beaufort and we'll haul her out at Bock marine- I know people there.
