yep....about 98 miles. Boat was too much for hubby to take care of and we just quit going to lake......have 7 acres here and put in 3 acre lake about 4 yrs ago........so I can just walk out my back door and throw a line in and catch a bass, catfish or blue gill....gotta love it!
Okay, the topic is grossed out, so I've got one for you. The Colonel can still do "most" of his hygene while on the pot, except for some reason his thumb gets involved. He pulls the "Little Jack Horner" maneuver and raises his brown-tipped thumb to me to take care of before continuing the process. I've learned to literally smile and handle it. Not literally. Well, I smile literally. Rubbing alcohol is my best friend.
Hi Ruth! It's a nice story. I'm starting to love these stories, the filthier they are, the better I like them. I don't know if I am masochistic or it's simply a survival reaction. In my house, we have other dynamics. "It" does not stay on the finger, "it" goes everywhere in the house! We don't want to waste anything.
Believe me Ted, if there was a way to launch the boat into the pond he would try it just for s***ts and grins....:) We thought about buying one of those little boats you sit in and paddle with your feet. Ruth....ewwwww.....I walked into mil bathroom last week and there are little poop blotches all over the top and inside of her butt wipes box, the toilet seat, and yesterday during her bath every single fingernail had "something" under them. And she can't figure out why I am never hungry when she offers me cookies, etc! Go figure. Dogs are up and moving....blind one needs to be carried out.....and I have hair appt today. Check in later.......everyone have a peaceful morning!
Hi all, It's still snowing here. Snows, melts, snows,.. I've been googling around trying to find out what to use on my dry itchy skin around my eyes and eyelids. moisturizers seem to burn it worse. Mom is still sleeping, HHA in at 10:30. They come in at different times, but I'm glad to have the help. ssk
Skape, try Pure aloe gel, I can't use anything on my skin but that.
Jam, One of those paddle boats shaped like a swan! i have a 5acre piece of woods and when a local Mini-golf with a jungle theme went out of business I wanted to buy the fiberglass apes and tigers and stuff just to hide them around the property but I missed the auction.
Last weekend, went to the funeral of our friend's dad. Lived a good long life. Always sad anyway. After that, spent the last two days in and out of the hospital with Mom who was having severe pain in her abdomen. Blood tests, ultra sounds and CT scans. They thought it was gall stones. Still not sure. So I lose two days of work. Not good. Yesterday, I go to the wake of a friend of ours, 49, cancer. VERY sad....beautiful family. I mean, how can you make sense of that??? Seems death is always worse during the holidays.
Today, I spend on me. The gym, a hot shower and more last minute errands. Have a good day everyone and let's count our blessings.
If someone was walking around your woods, they'd be surprised to see an ape and a tiger. I lived on a six acre wooded lot ( in a house)before moving here and used to take walks through the woods. Saw deer once in a while. Am now renting it for my income. I thought of fencing it in and having a "doggie day care" or a storage place. I just like the woods the way they are, though.
This is lil tenny speaking, hey bobbie and everyone, Merry Christmas! HoHoHo:) (For those who don't know me i'm tennessee's daughter,5th grade and proud member of the AR 100 point club at school.) :) ;) :) ;) :) ;) :) ;) :) ;) :) ;) :) ;) :) ;) :) ;) :) ;) :) ;) :) ;) :) ;) :) ;) :) ;) :)
Good morning everyone! Just dropped Mom at daycare and need to take a few minutes to catch up. Read all the new posts at 6AM. Wow! Time sure flies! Just plain swamped here between Mom and the full moon, and trying to get ready for X-mas. Have to get 3 more things, then I quit! Got to make fudge and candied grapefruit peels today. Tomorrow is wrap the presents and fill 16 gift bags for the family. Then I need to make the Texas hash and cheese potatoes for X-mas dinner. We are going to my youngest sister's house again. I let her take over the X-mas dinner duty after doing it for 30 years! Ted, this is your family, just like it's mine. Our real families just don't care or have the time for us. I thought about not giving anyone of them gifts this year, but then I remembered how Dad always said X-mas was a time for giving not getting! So while they all have much $ and buy for themselves while saying they just couldn't afford to get something for everyone this year, They will all get something from me! Not much, but homemade fudge and ornaments I painted.No one is left out! By the way, if any of you would like one of my hand painted ornaments, leave your address on my profile page and I will get one to each of you after the holiday! Miz, Glad hubby is feeling well enough for your trip. You both deserve it! Maxine,Gentleman friend? Wow! must have missed a few posts. Lucky you!!! Jam, Your MIL sounds like a handful! Dr. husband, nice! SSkape, I'm not that far from you, central Mass, but just a dusting of snow so far! Usually have inches on the ground way before now! Don't miss the shoveling though! As for haircuts, do you have a local technical high school? They do free haircuts to give students practice time. They come to Mom's daycare once a month for "beauty day", otherwise I cut her hair. My husband has the same problem with his eyes every winter. He has exzema and the doctor gave him a script for steroid cream. It cleared it up fast! Bobbie, How'd the flowbe work out? Had my niece buzz the back and sides of my hair 2 weeks ago and it is about 1/2 inch on the back and 1 1/2 inches on top. Less than 5 minutes to wash and dry, and a little styling paste and I'm ready to roll! Should have done this years ago! It was a shock to my eyes for a few days, but now I love it! Ruth, Guess he doesn't pull out a plum!!! Mom is like an octopus when she has a mess in her pull-ups! I told her I'm going to get handcuffs for her.LOL She will not hold still when we try to clean her, and it gets everywhere! When she gets mad at me, she will rub some on my arm just to get back at me!! Rossella, You know what I mean! Our moms are at about the same stage in this nightmare! Linda, Some days I don't comb my hair either. Don't care! Got enough to deal with! Is hubby making you crazy yet? Kaye, Sure hope you get to meet Bobbie! Need to get started on my day. Much to do and I feel like just going back to bed!!!Guess I'll start with another coffee and a quick breakfast. Maybe I'll get some energy from that! Have a good day everyone!
Hi everyone, hope all is going well...Just got a nasty political email from ex-sister in law ruining my morning...Why does she do that..?..I asked her not to and we agreed to disagree...It is really offensive. Maybe I will just block her damn email address...
Hope everyone is all ready for Christmas, pretty well here. Want to take some little trees out to cemetery but it will be sorta complicated between the roads and finding the graves under the snow!
Ted, that is a great idea.....I'm going to see if I can find something like that.....what a stitch! We have deer, wild turkeys, lots of hawks and owls, opossums, raccoons, the occasional wild kitty cat and yes I have heard the scream of a bobcat.......owls and bobcats and little doggies don't mix.
jsomebody . good idea to block ur sis in law s emails . dont need her to ruin ur day . let her deal with her own husband . screw them in laws . deefer ! u busy lady ! glad u cked in and let us know ure busy woman , wooo . tenny ! proud of u ! keep up with the good work . a big pat on ur back and a big hug to you !! tennesee , that is bobbie s dinsey cruise boat . is it ?? u been on it and is it ? oh my 2 more days it ll be christmas . hope u all have a wonderful cmas day . guess all my kids are coming over cmas day . take care and stay out of trouble . lol xoxoxo
We are celebrating Christmas today myson is off and his son will be staying over night having the same as on Thanksgiving no stress now that hubby is no longer with us so will not need wine to get me through the day no one has great expectations about my cooking anyway Ted beat me to the tip about Aleo -great for burns also and is an easy plant to grow,
First off-I've been on this from the start_ Most are women taking care of women-not easy but at least we are made the same lol. There is a lot of credit going out to certain people-I have to give credit to all-you are all wonderful. However, there is one that sticks out more to me--a very hard working women, tells it like it is, always with a "bless yer heart" hauls wood, chops wood, loves her daddy and keeps him diapered,clean and well fed. My person of the year, goes out to Linda Hardebeck, love ya, your just a darn good person.
