Wow - did I miss alot or what? Grossed out has been such a good place for me, I find it hard to believe that all caregivers going through or who have been through the same struggles don't see it the same way. Bobbie, if you hadn't started this almost 1 year ago, I truly don't know where I would be emotionally at this point. You have ALL given me so much love, support, understanding, compassion - I will never be able to thank you enough. I tell my staff at work and it applies here too - if we, such a small group can't find a way to get along, to accept each other's differences, etc - how can we ever expect there to peace around the world? I would also like to add - I have been thoroughly enjoying the jokes. Peach, cuz, Bobbie - too, too funny. Thanks for the smiles! Love and hugs to all, Kuli
HI, I have found a lot of support here, and I hate to see the recent badmouthing of bobbie. The people who are saying negative things have never said anything suppportive to me when I have vented about whatever I was feeling, but bobbie always had a kind word or a humorous way of looking at the situation. That's all I'm saying . ssk
Ssk, Still buried in snow here and now temps are dropping. Everything that was melting today is now ice! Got to get some sand from the town tomorrow. Ice Melt doesn't work so well in the colder temps. Got one lane traffic on our street until they do snow removal. Hey Kuli, How's your back coming along?
Hi deef, that's the worst, when it turns to ice. And if you live on a hill, look out. We lived on a hill in Gardner, and were always getting stuck in winter. Good for sledding though. (for the kids)
I'm good Miz! Learned years ago to walk like an old lady on ice! Hubby is the one who goes down every year. Think he'd learn by now!!! SS, I was thinking about getting a new snow tube while I was out shoveling yesterday. Never too old to play in the snow. Didn't try snow angels though. Afraid to be buried alive!!!!! Maybe look for a snow tube tomorrow and head up the hill to my brother's this weekend. I'll probably end up in traction, but it will be worth the fun!!! Love NE winters!! Night everyone! Hope you had a good day today, Bobbie!
Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cellular phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands-free speaker function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen.
MAN: "Hello"
WOMAN: "Hi Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?"
MAN: "Yes."
WOMAN: "I'm at the shops now and found this beautiful leather coat. It's only $2,000; is it OK if I buy it?"
MAN: "Sure, go ahead if you like it that much."
WOMAN: "I also stopped by the Lexus dealership and saw the new models. I saw one I really liked."
MAN: "How much?"
WOMAN: "$90,000."
MAN: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."
WOMAN: "Great! Oh, and one more thing... I was just talking to Janie and found out that the house I wanted last year is back on the market. They're asking $980,000 for it."
MAN: "Well, then go ahead and make an offer of $900,000. They'll probably take it. If not, we can go the extra eighty thousand if it's what you really want."
WOMAN: "OK. I'll see you later! I love you so much!"
MAN: "Bye! I love you, too."
The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are staring at him in astonishment, mouths wide open. He turns and asks, "Anyone know whose phone this is?"
Kuli, thanks! Love it when folks laugh & are happy! Thanks Linda! She's a sweetheart! Named Gracie. You're welcome Christina! Hope you're feeling better! Funny Miz! I sprayed chocolate ice cream! Glad you have the insurance, Jen! Bobbie, thanks for the '24 carrot' advice! Going to the store in the am! Gonna be interesting to see the results! : ) cuz, hope everybody' ok! Bubba Ted, thanks for the updates! Rip, missed you tonight! You too, Diane! Deef, take a run down that hill for me, too, ok?!?! : )
Christina emailed these jokes to me for you guys...enjoy with your morning coffee:
THE OLDER CROWD A distraught senior citizen phoned her doctor's office. 'Is it true,' she wanted to know, 'that the medication you prescribed has to be taken For the rest of my life?'
'Yes, I'm afraid so,' the doctor told her.
There was a moment of silence before the senior lady replied,
I'm wondering, then, just how serious is my condition because this prescription is marked 'NO REFILLS'.' ********************** An older gentleman was on the operating table awaiting surgery and he insisted that his son, a renowned surgeon, perform the operation. As he was about to get the anesthesia, he asked to speak to his son.
'Yes, Dad, what is it? '
'Don't be nervous, son; Do your best and just remember, if it doesn't go well, if something happens to me, your mother is going to come and live with you and your wife....' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (I LOVE IT!)
Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.. --------------------------------- The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for. --------------------------------- Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me! I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved. ******************** When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks. ------------------------------- One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young. ****************** Ah, being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
******************** First you forget names, Then you forget faces. Then you forget to pull up your zipper. It's worse when You forget to pull it down. ---------------------------------
Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft...Today, it's called golf. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OH, do you guys remember my friend who was diagnosed with cancer that the docs said 2-6 months with chemo? They told her, now, that chemo & radiation won't help at all. They've given her less than a month. Sweet lady...breaks my heart!
Hope everybody in Snowville, USA is warm & safe! Interesting ice cream choices, by the way! Hugs, Peach : )
good almost morning, Boaters. 3:30 in CA. Just got up with Mother. back to bed, but first check on my friends and wish you a good day. It was beautiful here yesterday --about 68. That's why God dropped me down a CA chimney. Otherwise I would be on my butt all the time in your weather. omg, you made of sterner stuff. That's what I think of all of you: the cream of the crop, top of the heap...the Mona Lisa, the Tower of Pisa.. WHOO HOO! get the gelpack and pretend im where it's cold. at least on my shoulder. Love you, christina
Peach I'm so sorry about your friend....how sad for her and her family. The younger brother of an old friend had a stroke last Tuesday, he's only about 50. Affected his complete right side. Went home with what he thought was the flu, called for help when he kept falling down.......by then he was completely out of the treatment window. Need to go to FB because his nephew said yesterday he was failing. So sad. Hope everyone stays warm and has a great day.....I'm staying inside.
good morning crew! In the Yard and watching a big boat getting put back into the water. guys coming in and out of this boat getting measurements and asking questions. Wish I had come here first!
the My Cousin Vinnie train wakes us up at 0 dark thirty and the yard wakes up right after that. So cool to see all the goings on.
Miz, this train is CLOSE. cool tho. I wouldn't want to live here forever but that's the fun part of the boat. In just a short time i've had the opportunity to live in 5 different enviroments and they've all been pretty neat. now that I have the dinghy I think that I'm going to get some help and get the dinghy off the top of the boat and go fishing. Perfect spot for a dinghy and fishing. Ahhhhh...... maybe I'll teach the Cat how to steer...
Wow... how did I do that? BOAT time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's cold this morning but I think sun is going to shine and it's supposed to be about 34 degrees today. Heatwave! Snow again Monday and Tuesday but I don't think it's going to be as much as this last storm. But then again this is Missouri.
Put col back to bed this morning, hope she stays there a while. Went down to give her night meds last night and she is still coughing and says " I have esophageal".....it's heartburn old lady!!!! Had it for 2 days she says, day before said she had a tickle in her throat. Didn't eat anything yesterday except 2 Boost drinks, then says she drank 3 of them, cut the coffee off at noon. Had Nexium in the am....so what could cause the heartburn......I think she has sinus drainage and doesn't know the difference......anyway spewed the couch last night. Guess I'm glad I was there, she wasn't going to clean herself up, get clean clothes or remove her pillow that got it....or clean the carpet. Tried to explain to her that her gag reflex got stimulated and made her spew......oh no, "it's esophageal". ARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!! She's all stuffy this morning.....had a flu shot and hasn't been around anyone but me so I assume it's a cold. Keeps wiping her nose on her hand.........give me strength today. Got to get dressed and moving...guys will be back today with the parts to fix my shower...I hope. It appears that when it was installed the nimrods that did it broke the connection for the drain and left off a large washer. Gee for 3 yrs most of the draining water managed to make it down the drain, but a lot was draining onto the floor and running under a wall....great. So on that note I hope everyone has a perfect day!
give it a minute Miz and you will see the Cat in person and get all the Cat Hair you can stand! We will take pics of you and the Cat and you and the Boat and you driving the Boat! I was going to talk to you about you driving so I can moon.....
