well heck seems i have 2 logons now Pirate Queen at work and Piratess2011 at home..geesh, this website is lame for logging on. OH well you know if it's pirate anything it's moi!
I like PirateQueen. It sounds very in control. Which one are you going to use? Maybe I should pick an online name? It might confuse me, that's why I stuck with the real thing. Or--I have an idea: Let's have a Gross Out contest and pick an online name for Christina! You all (Y'all) can rename me! what do you think? Please be nice about it, OK?
OK, let's ask Captain Bobbie. In school they named me "Tiny Tears" on the class prophecy page--remember the doll that cries? How humiliating. I've always been sensitive, and I had bad depression as a child, because no one was there for me, so I cried all the time. Please don't pick that one. We can discuss it, and I will go with the vote. After all, we name our pets and they have to live with it, don't they?
I did it again. Every time I post something, no one follows me, and that is why I am feeling like I don't belong. Is it the "time zone" thing? I am up with my Mother from 4 am--7 yous guysez time--off and on until 7 am here--10 on the right coast. I'm sure you are all going about your day and have had way too much coffee by then, and I am having my first and only large cup. Please set me straight. I am trying to be logical and not sensitive. Forget the name thing--that sounds very self-centered and it's not important. I am going to run errands now and will be back around 3 pm, 6 your time, at which time, y'all will be cooking or eating dinner, and I will wonder where everyone is. I want to do the Face Boat thingy; guess I better work that into my schedule or I will never hook up with you guys correctly. Please, help me. I'm not whining, no tears, no fears. Ok. I'll wait.
Christina...grab a hold of yourself g/f you sound like you are loosing it. Stop and start counting one two three four and breathe deep the hikers method through your mouth and out yer nose....do that for about 5 times or so. Okay no don't worry about no one following you this is NOT facebook or twadle or a chat room. It is a message blog and you have to wait sometimes for a response. Now get a hold of yerself...any vino in the fridge you can take a nip at. Big hugs and calm down - try to watch some silly tv or cartoons...sometimes that helps me with depression or trying to forget the stress!
Dang it, what is with these caregivers...from frying the toaster to loosing keys, to breaking plumbing to screwing up the washer...what is with these folks...geeezus! She better find that key! Harumpf.....I can't wait for when I no longer need a caregiver for mommo! They are worse than her sometimes!
Well that was the last caregiver that fried the toaster...the new one is whom lost the keys...just talked to her she still can't recollect where she put them...she had to have them yesterday when she got in yesterday.....
CHRISTINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are loved and wanted and we WILL NOT allow you to sink into the black hole or the foxhole for that matter. Baby doll, you are having a very hard time right now but we are here with you....I read your posts as well as all the others sometime around 8-9 am. central time. Today I'm keeping myself going on just pure adrenaline....wanna borrow some? I posted elsewhere in earlier posts about the 2 daughters that chose to not speak to me years ago....well today I am finding out just how much they do hate me.....the oldest has been sending horrible, horrible emails to my daughter-in-law all morning.....and I hurt for my dil because she never did a thing to her. OMG the things she is saying, it makes me embarrassed that she is my daughter even though she hates me. I really wish I knew why....my son's heart is breaking because his sisters are being such vipers and he tries to act like it doesn't bother him, but momma knows. The freakiest thing happened a little earlier today...was standing in the living room talking with hubby and I have several pics on top of a bombay chest.....right in the middle is one of my mom..it just fell over and knocked over a pic of myself and granddaughter and one of myself holding my little chihuahua...do you think mom was telling me she's okay?
whew--no, really, I'm OK today. Just hungry. But thank you for the support. I don't do FB--not yet, or "toda via no" as we say close to the southern border-- and those other 2 things sound very nasty. heehee Caregivers are so wonderful. After going 96 hours straight through the NY weekend alone with Mother, I have more appreciation for them:) That is one reason I am so wasted--from lack of sleep, rest and focus. It's not 5 o'clock here yet, so the chardonnay is at the same level it was last night. Hope y'all are having a great day! (I pretend I'm southern) HUGS, christina xoxo
miz - I'm going on mad adrenaline right now......then after I take COL's doggie to vet I'm coming home putting on comfy clothes and pour myself a nice glass of rum and coke and get back on this computer. First I will call my son and tell him how much I love and appreciate him, just because I do and he needs to hear it.
Miz do not fret over the notes it took my from July til time for Christmas cards to do mine-then I was too worn out to do Christmas cards Christina we are open 24/7 I use to post in the middle of the night and so did others and as my mothers says it's 5 o'clock somewhere Tenn does you state have FOIA freedom of information act if you do they have to give you the info ask someone at your local newspaper they will know how to get info.
" Hope y'all are having a great day! (I pretend I'm southern) "
Well you spelled "ya'll" correctly, so your way ahead of about half of my kin, but then we're bona fide Hillbillies. Weez jess hain't gots no needs fer sech embellishments, whilst hunkerin' on down fer snazzy writ down palaverin's, is what I'm sayin' :-) .
Pat THE Hat--is that a party hat, or a chef's hat? We want to know. Also, do you have a good recipe for RIBS? I'm fixin' some for the colts/jets game party at my house this weekend. I soak racks in a 2 liter bottle of Coke overnight, then do a dry rub, then bake slow at 300 for 3 hours, then put on the grill outside to glaze. Do you have a better idea? Thanks! christina
Heck ribs are so easy in the oven....what I do is buy Grill Mates marinade and just use it as a dry rub...Chipotle or Mesquite are good for ribs or the Bourbon Brown Sugar one as well. I like all three, they even have more flavors but I use these 3 a lot. You can throw them in the crock pot with the dry rub as well. Oven at 350 for about 3 hours or crockpot on low for about 6. They are a million ways to make em....good luck!
omg--I forgot I got a crockpot for Christmas! Obviously haven't used it yet. OK--Good Answer, PQ. YOU are on a ROLL today! It's a big one, too, so will probably hold 4 racks. Yay--I'm excited. Thank you.
Oh I wear all kinds of hats, hell, I got all kinds of hats, it's pert near hat-o-matic I put on a hat, I'm a mad Pat in the hat maniac is what I'm sayin'!
That's a really good rib recipe, and I've had 'em, and done 'em like that before, but I'd suggest makin' one little change, try Dr.Pepper! I can't say right off the top of my head what I ever got out of the Lone Star state worth repeatin' (at least in mixed company), 'cept maybe using Texas Dr. Pepper for a pork rib marinade, deeeelicious! I use to smoke lots of pig for a bit of living,, whole hog roasts, turkeys and such, but for my ribs I just dry rubbed, and I'd spray apple cider on 'em when they needed a little spritz bath. ('cause a smokin' pig just loooves to feel appley fresh of course) Sometimes I used apple butter with a smidge of vinegar, a touch of tomato paste, and a few of spices, for a glaze, but my signature thing, is a Hillbilly Teriyaki thing I make, with honey, soy sauce, onion & garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flake. That one always went over pretty swell, well, except maybe that guy that had some kind of allergy to honey, or so he said...I think he was really just a whiny crybaby troublemaker, I mean those itty bitty hives looked more like zits to me. The moral of that story is, always read the menu sign BEFORE shovelin' vittles down your pie hole...fairly simple concept really, if one were to ask me..of course he didn't :-) !
Hi everyone! Sorry I've dropped out of sight, My internet is down and will have to stay down for a while, I just wanted to let you all know how much I miss you and that I am alive. I am also beginning to see signs of what my sister was threatening to do. It seems she called my mom today, for the first time in a LOOONg time, and ask mom what her doctor's name is, she said she was going to make an appointment for her. I have know idea what that is about, it's like my calling the child of someone I haven't seen for 20 years and asking the name of thier dentist because I want to make an appt for them. It's scary, she has already stolen most of what my father left me in his will and I can't see any other reason for her to be doing this now unless she plans on trying to steal something else or cause me trouble so that I don't persue my inheritance. I called mom's doctor to warn her, and I'm going to call social services in the morning to let them know what's going on. I might even ask them how I can make a complaint of some sort. Wish me well. Ted.
Christina, you so much remind me of me. Very sensitive, easily depressed. I feel it, girl. You're not alone. You are such a sweetheart. Try not to worry. It's all good. :)
Thanks, Miz, that's what the doc said, she actually laughed when I explained what was going on and said she had two sister's that should sink in the same boat as mine. It is still freaking me out that she is gonna try to start all sorts of trouble for mom and me when we (I) am having such a hard time already. Gotta go, Love you all!
I'm back to the house unscarred. I have come to beleive that the mayor could possibly be a victim of Alzheimers. Right now it seems like shooting fish in a barrel-too easy.I had some extensive meetings with alderman-way to intersting.Mayor s not playing with full deck-awefully spiteful though.Atleast he will have a excuss when questioned by the big dogs in Nashville-Good thing I don't live in that town.This part of the country has always been lawless,but now there are outsiders moving in and they need to change the way they play.One of our elder alderman spoke up and said I have always broke the law-its just the way I am I can't change now,everyone nodded. Ya'll probabally understand why I don't watch TV now-this crap is better than anything you get on TV.Sadly the alderman want me to kick the mayors butt out,atleast I have moral support-worst mayor we ever had..The only person that is supporting dude is wife and brother-in-law-He's acting like a nasty tempered little boy-not thinking things through thats why I think he may be demented.He does like to have his picture in the paper.I'm tired and dirty,time for shower and bed-I'll try to read whats going on with you guys tomorrow.
Hi everyone, I've been reading but haven't had much excitement here, which is a good thing. I even got out and walk/jogged today. It helps the mood. My mom is doing well, she likes having the different caregivers come in and has been cooperative. It's all good, just for today. ssk
