Hi deef, guess you're getting the most snow in your area! on the cape we have rain, so not much excitement here..yet. I'll bet the cardinals are a pretty sight today! ssk
I got up this morning to read what my friends have written on my wall,but yet again I was attacked by a idiot on this thread, to address what the idiot said and for the record. I have nothing against Bobbie, if I did my daughter and I would not have sent her the angel, no one else sent squat; the ANGEL was sent by mean ole Tennesse and kid, no one elese was involved, now if Bobbie wants to pretend that it came from you guys-thats her right to do so. I've told Bobbie many times-you are smart girl-and she is very smart-Thats why she is the leader and you -Miz are the follower. I have little tolerance for idiots, esp. mean girl club idiots. I am not reading the grossout anymore and this is my final post and I WOULD APPRECIATE IF THE VENOM SPITTERS WOULD STAY OFF OF MY WALL-DON'T MAKE YOURSELF LOOK ANY MORE PATHETIC THAN YOU ALREADY ARE. I'M TIRED OF BEING ATTACKED ON HERE AND I'M TIRED OF WATCHING PEOPLE BE ATTACKED ON HERE-I THOUGHT THIS WAS A PUBLIC FORUM-EXCUSS ME-AND LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE.
SSK, There are cardinals everywhere right now!!! They love to come out and eat in the snow. Will try to bundle up and get some pictures after I get Mom up and settled. Got over 12" now. It's a beautiful sight to behold!!! Hubby got to work okay, due to hardly any traffic. Going back to bed for a few, then waking Mom up.
Good morning, I finally realized that my nieghbor has a wi-fi set up and I can piggy-back on her internet service! it's touch and go but at least i don't have to run out to the public library just to check my emails and see what's up here. I guess i had another little break down over the last week. went to see my councelor and he explained how being trapped in the house all the time can play tricks on a person's head. I hadn't really thought about how much time I spend here with mom, or that when I do go out, all I can think about is whether or not she's ok or did she trip and fall, or is she scared and lonely....(She's sitting there staring at me right now.) It's funny how just knowing what is causing you stress can relieve it a little. Bobbie, Getting the boat pulled! How long will she be out? will you be able to live aboard while the work is being done? Rip, haven't heard from you in a while, all good? Sistah Peach? there is far too much stuff to catch up on so exuse me if Im a little out of date, I guess I'll just start over and carry on with whatever new topics come up. Thank You all for being here, Mean it!
Ted, Cabin fever can really mess with your head. Sounds like you are working it out though. having a major Nor'easter up here in central Mass. Supposed to snow most of the day and expecting up to 18" in this part of the state. Got to love being able to grab onto someone else internet! Can't wait for you to get away so you can make all of us jealous!!!! Hope your day goes well.
Ted, I hear you about being stuck at home can play with your head. And I remember worrying when I was gone and feeling like I needed to get back home. Heck, I still feel that way. Weird.
We got just a little more snow today. Nothing big. I'm sure I will put on my oh so fashionable snow boots (NOT) today when I go in to work. I really don't want to fall. With my osteoporosis that could be very bad.
Tennessee, I always knew that that beautiful angel was from you and lil tenny. It meant so much to me. You and I graciously included the rest of the people on the thread because SS lost her mind when she didn't think of it. Remember? I do. Etched on my mind.
I hosted you and lil Tenny on the boat, my home, and worked my butt off to make you both happy and comfortable. I listened and listened to you tell your tale of betrayal from your family and your little town. It was my absolute pleasure to meet you spend time with you and your beautiful daughter.
This IS a public forum and that's why people cruise around and read stuff and that's what happened when some folks read your wall and told me about it. Just like the last time.
You and nance ARE kind of mean when you write about me/us and the term is projection. That's when you have a behavior but blame someone else for it. (mean girls club) Seriously, you guys have been the ones doing the bashing. We had all moved on from the last nance bash job and you started it up again.
I don't think that you are getting attacked as much as being held accountable for what you have written.
Comparing me to Hitler? omg. Comparing me to a person who orchestrated the murder of millions of people? and teaching lil tenny that that is ok? Calling these beautiful caregivers sheep? or Nazis?
btw, do you remember who got upset not knowing that it was your daughter that was posting? Pretty sure it was SS. Certainly wasn't me or Miz or any of the regular crew.
Miz is not an idiot. She is a dear, sweet person who has just lost her mom. She has behaved as a true friend to me. I don't think that there are idiots on this thread or any others. All I see are caregivers. Tired, grieving, depressed and hanging on for dear life. All we have tried to do here on the Grossed Out is pop a few laughs into the mix.
You are probably not aware of how many times nance has pounced on me in a very mean way over the last year. I took it and took it and then I didn't.
I am truly sorry that you are so upset with us and we will miss you. That was such a beautiful angel and I have the angel and the card (complete with misspelled daughter's name!) in my mom's room in NJ. It is sad because now when I look at it, it will represent a totally different memory.
I am going to post what was said so the crew knows what this is about.
In the spirit of a public forum: from Tennessee to nance:
HEY NANCE,JUST DROPPED IN TO SAY HELLO. Hope you are staying warm. My daughter was sure impressed with you for standing up to the stoning crowd. She wanted to get on and tell them what she thought, but she has already been attacked on here herself and if it happened again I would have been way too angry, so I would not let her. She was studying Germany and the Nazis-she asked me why would a bunch of people blindly follow one man instead of thinking for themselves-that brought up the conversation on sheepism. You gave a very good lesson to her in free thinking and I appreciate it. Bobbie has a talent with people, shes good at it, I guess it was a job requirement for her for the business she is in. I personally would be alittle uncomfortable with a bunch of peoples noses up my butt,but thats just me. I Think when you are in the entertainment business you like peoples noses up your butt,I think it is even a good thing.I want friends,but not a fan base.I use to model when I was younger and I had a fan base then and it made me uncomfortable,I had my own set of sheep at one time and I don't want them back.I doubt you knew standing up like you did would have such a impact on a bunch of 5th graders,but it was a good lesson.The Gross out is not the same since Secret Sister left-I kinda miss her,anyway I'm not even reading it anymore-its pretty sad when you have grown woman coming to your wall to spy,but not to leave you a message-way to silly for me-I'm a grown folk.Hope all is well.
Ted!! I can't tell you how good it is to see from you! the boat will be out for almost 3 weeks and at the end of that she will have a new bottom paint job, bowthruster and the odds and ends that need to be addressed will be fixed. It is VERY exciting! The yard guys will be coming in the next hour and we will all drive the boat to the yard where we will be put into a slip to wait our turn for haul out. Yes, I will be staying on the boat for the duration and thank God next week is going to be a little warmer because with the boat out of the water, even with a 3.5" hull, she would be colder in the wind on jacks than she would be in the water. We had an issue with the foremast because of the 10' VHF antenna on TOP of the 43' above the water line mast so the yard guys dropped the antenna yesterday so the boat can get under a bridge that's between us and the yard.
SSK! hey kiddo, freezing?? no birds to be found except frozen butterballs. It's cold here too but nothing like what you guys are experiencing. the coldest December on record here and I come along and park a boat. Nice.
We're getting more snow but it's very light. VERY cold here today. I wish I had one of those cars that you can start from inside so it would be warm when I leave work.
The difference between Grandmothers & Grandfathers
Have you ever wondered what the difference is between Grandmothers and Grandfathers? Well, here it is.
There was this loving grandfather who always made a special effort to spend time with his son's family on weekends. Every Saturday morning, he would take his 7-year-old granddaughter out for a drive in the car for some quality time -- just him and his granddaughter.
One particular Saturday, however, he had a bad cold and really didn't feel like being up at all. He knew his granddaughter always looked forward to their drives and would be disappointed. Luckily, his wife came to the rescue and said that she would take their granddaughter for the drive.
When they returned, the little girl anxiously ran upstairs to see her grandfather who was still in bed. "Well, did you enjoy your ride with grandma?" he asked.
"Oh, yes, Granddad, it was really wonderful. We didn't see a single asshole, blind bastard, dipshit or son of a bitch anywhere we went!"
I didn't have any help for 4 days, and when the vna came in I ended up complaining so much that they are now sending a cna 6 days a week instead of 5 days. I'm going to make sure I get out of the house while thay are here. Even an hour break helps. And I'm filling out a respite grant form to get someone to stay here for a few days when my sons visit so i can get out then. It's through the alzheimers association. I always wanted a car starter too, miz. A friend who just got back from Florida had to buy a sweatshirt and jacket while visiting. Hope you stay warm enough bobbie! later ssk
Hey Bobbie!!! Whoo-hoo!!Facebook, Wow!!! I will try to be on to talk to you, too! It will be fun to finally meet you in person.. Cardinals everywhere! Love it!!!!
whatthe hellis going on . i get on and read cuz s jokes and smiled big . giggle some , then bam im reading tenn , ugh it floored me ! now it sadden me . that does not sound like tenn writing that ! however she did say nance is nice to her as nance s nice to me too , i know one person has to disagree with someone but doesnt mean all have to disagree . i just want to get along with everybody and have no bashin shit going on . as i did last year with another woman . i think she is gone for good . AC has done something to keep her off , i think unless she changed her name . as for us begin a nazi german shit what the hell ever ! those are evil evil most cruel human i ever known on life other than charles manson ., bunch others too , this world is full of em . but you all people as bobbie says tired worn out , lookin for support and a friend to lean on . this is not no nazi whatever ya call it . theres jokes , smiling , laughter and feel realy good after getting off this thread , sceret sister has gone off to tea party shes in whole diffrent world . she left cuz there was disagreement about god thing . thats her choice , i stayed on and hang out . i dont care if u dont believe in god or not . thats ur choice and im not running out with tail between my leg cuz someone doesnt believe in god . so whatever .. tenn . im sad to ever think u would turn ur back on us . i actuly thought u were one of us . u said bobbie made ur daughter laugh so much and u havent heard her laugh like that in years ! now its a whole diffrent ballpark . why am i even talking to her she done said she s not comin backon this thread to read . ah well . have a good day you all , i need to shovel 5 or 6 inches snow off the sidewalk and take dad to dr today . wish me luck ! xoxo
Good morning Linda! Already have 12" of snow here. I just went out to take pictures of my birds. Going to put them on my facebook page. Good luck taking Pa to doctor. drive safely! Must be crazy going out in the middle of a Nor'easter for bird pictures, but it is beautiful out there! Took a couple pictures just to show how much snow is out there. Now I have to change out of my wet sweat pants. Rolled them up, but they still got covered in snow. Love it!!! Time for more coffee. Think I'll make some cinnamon. How many of us out there have snow today? And how much?
Mother died 20 years ago and since then, my father has been in one fantasy relationship after another. He convinces himself that one younger woman (usually in their 30's and he is in his upper 80's) is his close friend. He has attached himself to women's church ball teams, has attached himself to teachers when volunteering at our church and the latest is that he thinks that a waitress (married with 3 little kids) is his close friend. He gives these ladies money (gave a missionary 600.00 for a seminar since she was his "good friend" ), gives excessive tips, and the latest is that he wanted to give the waitress one of my mother's vintage coats from the 60's (made in London). Two weeks ago, he insisted on going to the diner and he took the bus back. Being in the cold, he developed a nosebleed and ended up in the E.R for 5 hours (I was with him and had to take the day off next day and for two days it was doctor after doctor). While he was in the E.R. he advised me that if anything happens to him, please call "the waitress" because she cares about him. The waitress is 33, has kids and husband is a cop. When he was better I told him that I will not go along with his nonsense. I told him that NOBODY wants a friendship with somebody almost three times their age and that he needs to see a pastor, a counselor and not go back to that diner again. I told him that I would gladly take him to senior groups, church functions (even though he has embarrassed me with his gravitation to younger women in my church). I told him that I will not take him to that particular diner anymore and I am not going along with this nonsense.
Anne, Nipping this in the bud sounds like a good idea before something bad happens. Does he have dementia? He definitely has a problem, or he is just very lonely and misses your mom. Talk to his doctor about the situation. Maybe he can suggest something.
Last night the col beeps me on the intercom and tells me to turn on all the water faucets because the water will freeze tonight.....told her we don't have that problem but I would be right there....sure enough she has every faucet running full-bore in her house....I shut every thing off but her kitchen which I left at a teeny weeny dribble to make her happy. Then put her to bed and she keeps saying "they said so". Well I don't care what "they" said, we don't have problems like that. So I go down this morning to take her coffee and change her pants and there are all the faucets running again........God spare me............now that she thinks that's the thing to do, she will get up in the night and turn everything on. I'm not sure how to manage this.....any suggestions?
Hi all! 17" new inches of snow here! Yes, Bobbie, this time I said "of snow"!!!! LOL Reading about all the misunderstandings here, so sad. I don't know who Secret Sister was or is but I just wanted to clarify, my name is also SS, Selfish Siblings. As in, I have two siblings who do absolutely nothing for their homebound parents, and do not check in with me. They are the most selfish people I can think of, waiting for the hand out. So anyway, that's me. Every day I pray for strength in handling both Mom and Dad's physical and mental needs. It's extremely hard to manage both with all the doctor appointments, meds, groceries etc..., raise two teenagers and running a company to boot. I have written off the two lame excuses for a sibling who have abandoned their own parents. F**k 'em. And I thank you all for letting me vent.
Wow, Jam. That's a tough one. She could flood your house. I hope someone can come up with a good idea for you. Some way so she can not turn them on? Are there locks for faucets? I don't know.

Must be crazy going out in the middle of a Nor'easter for bird pictures, but it is beautiful out there! Took a couple pictures just to show how much snow is out there. Now I have to change out of my wet sweat pants. Rolled them up, but they still got covered in snow. Love it!!!
Time for more coffee. Think I'll make some cinnamon.
How many of us out there have snow today? And how much?
Two weeks ago, he insisted on going to the diner and he took the bus back. Being in the cold, he developed a nosebleed and ended up in the E.R for 5 hours (I was with him and had to take the day off next day and for two days it was doctor after doctor). While he was in the E.R. he advised me that if anything happens to him, please call "the waitress" because she cares about him. The waitress is 33, has kids and husband is a cop.
When he was better I told him that I will not go along with his nonsense. I told him that NOBODY wants a friendship with somebody almost three times their age and that he needs to see a pastor, a counselor and not go back to that diner again.
I told him that I would gladly take him to senior groups, church functions (even though he has embarrassed me with his gravitation to younger women in my church).
I told him that I will not take him to that particular diner anymore and I am not going along with this nonsense.
Reading about all the misunderstandings here, so sad. I don't know who Secret Sister was or is but I just wanted to clarify, my name is also SS, Selfish Siblings. As in, I have two siblings who do absolutely nothing for their homebound parents, and do not check in with me. They are the most selfish people I can think of, waiting for the hand out. So anyway, that's me. Every day I pray for strength in handling both Mom and Dad's physical and mental needs. It's extremely hard to manage both with all the doctor appointments, meds, groceries etc..., raise two teenagers and running a company to boot. I have written off the two lame excuses for a sibling who have abandoned their own parents. F**k 'em. And I thank you all for letting me vent.
17 inches...now that's interesting!!!
