HA! moon, miz, is sticking your butt out at someone with your pants off. But, not knowing that does NOT make you a "nimrod". Actually, 'nimrod' means "a great hunter". You can find him in the Bible. ( my bad shoulder made me spell, "buble"--sorry, Michael) My fav term for nimrods is "WINGNUTS". bobbie knows what they are, because you can get them at Home Depot with valve adapters. right, Bob? Husband just found Cat on dining table. oops. now there's more cat hair on the floor, or is that my husbands arm hair. Here's a chuckle: Martha Stewart's dog "struck her" in the face and she had to have stitches. Just saw it on the news. Poor Martha. "Good things" sometime happen to annoying people. Later, Boat Friends xoxochristina
i agree with u bob . wish martha would come here and clean my house and fix supper to feed my family so i can take off and get a taste of a freedom . wooo
Martha's got less ladida than you think. while doing her prison time, all the inmates loved her because she 'kept it real'. Keeping it real... a real challenge! I would happily take you up on your offer!! lovbob
come on over . i ll keep the dishes in the sink for ya , oh yes dont forget to bring the coffee , i may help ya clean too , wink . ok bath time for me so i can get my mooney hindend up and rearing to zoom clean . if pa lets me , ohh i hope so . have a good day you all . xoxoxo
K, I'm gonna try to feel better today. To those of you still up to your necks in care giving, my love and hugs to you. I know it ain't easy. And to those still dealing with loss of loved ones, I know that ain't easy either. And I know it takes awhile. God Bless You All!!
wanted to add: saw the article here about drugs that can cause dementia, and one the psych took my Mother off is Detrol. It controls the bladder. funny thing: so far, she is peeing LESS at night. took her off "ambien", zolpidem tartrate, and she is sleeping better and longer, with no irritability. I don't want to "go figure"--I want the MDs to stay up to date on their DRUG EDUCATION, OK?! It's 10:20, am on the left coast, 64 degrees. I hope you all have a BOATiful Day. Hey, let's all come up with lots of BOAT words! I love words, and playing with them. How 'bout YAWL? Just kidding, kidding people. Love ya--CIAO! christina xo
Helloooo, fellow boatmates. Dad successfully had his pacemaker battery changed today. They wanted to try and upgrade it to one that would help his heart put out more blood with each beat but weren't able to do that so oh, well. No better, no worse. He has been sleeping soundly since they got done about 10am. I know he was nervous and probably got no sleep last night. Thank God he at least let me sleep. So a few more hours and home we go. Hope all are having a good day. So happy it's Friday! Kuli
Hello, with heavy heart, I have had to make a decision. I have been hacked into. I am going to delete and get off the net all together. I have no choice. Just know I love you all...will miss you and know all my thoughts and prayers are with you...Sincerely Sharon
I thought the site owned the content bobbie blog on yes...wish they owned the situations, ah well such is life.
Mine is thinking I no longer wish to live in a clime that gets so much snow and ice...I mean I am really tired of it...
I have not answered really any posted quries i feel like what the heck do I know I really can't help any body...POA, Dementia, to home or not to home. None of these were in my control any way I just cleaned up messes and dispense pills...
FP at ADH, amazing how the stress level palpably drops when he is out of the building....
Yes mother is slowly adjusting to full time elder care...hehehe
Nothing to say too ME now...mhmmm what I was making it all up? right, enjoy ma...I'm gonna get a job, that pays...and doesn't involve standing in luke warm urine...
Gonna have a thaw here for days, glad to see the ice GO!!!
Patio Problem My husband, Ray, was attempting to build a patio for the first time. He bought 100 cement blocks. Laying them out in a pattern, he discovered the chosen area was too small.
He stacked the blocks against the house and cleared more space. The next day Ray put the cement blocks back down, only to find that the ground was too hard to keep the patio level.
He ordered a truckload of sand to be delivered the following morning. Again he stacked the 100 blocks against the house.
Observing all this, our next-door neighbor asked, "Ray, are you going to put your patio away every night?"
With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed last week Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey", died peacefully at age 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in. And then the trouble started.
Well what a difference a big of day and night out and about, yuckin' it up amongst a river boat (barge) load of a variety of gamblers, reprobates, and complete strangers can make, to put a spring in ones step one might say. I have a nephew that had a couple of days of comp casino & hotel time he had to use or lose, but he had to split before the last day and night. I'd like to say he just up & thought of me because he loves & admires me so very much, but he actually owed me a few bucks, and thought this would make a nice little payback ;-) . On the plus side, I never thought I'd ever see any actual dough anyway, since we're talkin' family here (and actually my favorite nephew no less), so I know everyone knows what I'm talkin' about ;-) .
So Mama & I got a night in a fairly nice little suite, an 'eh, it was s'okay breakfast/lunch buffet, and one swell dinner...oh, plus all the opportunity to lose as much of my money as I wanted..yeah I know, I was rather shocked at the magnanimous generosity of it too! Really, we wouldn't have done it, but I just sold a little collection of arrowheads, spear points, some stone implements, and a carved effigy stone pipe that I've had for some time now, and have been packin' around for years, so what the hell, right! Since I had a couple extra bucks (well, and whatever the hell that means), and since I've been the one luggin' all these rocks around all this time, I figured I should get a little somethin' somethin' out of it before the bills do...& Mama too, I mean she lugged my squalorin' snot nosed dumb azzz around for quite a few years, so some slot machines and a buffet or two, it's the least I could do.
Now I'm here to tell ya, that wee little woman can sure jam some serious quarters in a slot machine! ~~~Whoooosh $$$$$~~~~~~~~~~~~~ She's was so damn fast, I swear we'd of almost traveled back in time if I hadn't told her to cool her jets...so as it was, she only bent time (ohh yeeaaah, dincha y'all see it, it's all over the news...somethin' or other 'bout the Zodiac and the planet gettin' all wobbly...that was me Mama chuckin' quarters at warp speed)! She was so damn cute, I got her a little hot pink visor that says HOT STUFF in glitter, she got a little kick out of it, but not nearly as much as I did:-) ! I think she won maybe thirty or forty ducats...uhhh me?...um, perhaps not so much, why do you ask? Video poker SUCKS, is all I'm prepared, and is probably for the best to say at this time, alright!...shhheeeesh, stop bein' so nosy, besides, it could happen to anybody!
All in all we had a pretty good time, and got out of the house and away from the thoughts of cold and snow if just for a bit. Mama wishes she could have brought the king size bed home she liked it so much (she was barely a speck on it...they can keep the fold out couch bed is my opinion). The dinner was yumtastic (I never fail to embarrass myself, or anyone in the vicinity, with all you can eat crab legs), but bestest of all, she had the swellest time pullin' levers with all the gee gawin' wing dingin' bells & whistles (well, until she discovered slots now have a button...holy smoke, that's when she went into overdrive)...oh, and she really digs her giant bucket of quarters of course. Oh yes, she pointed out in no uncertain terms, they were hers :-) !
Ah, she's actually a pretty cheap date, and as an added bonus, I don't have to pack around a bunch of old nicked up rocks anymore. Now there are very few things that please me about this crappy forgetting everything thing of course, getting a yuck out the same old corny joke is one, every Matlock & M*A*S*H repeat episode is always completely brand new is another I guess (I mean it's new to her), and now, well, she'll most probably forget she has suddenly developed a verrry serious gambling addiction by tomorrow...if I can snag that damn casino bucket out of 'er grubby greedy little paws that is ;-) !
Yes, Bobbie I am feeling better. :) Glad it's Friday. Maybe I'll finally get those darn thank yous out tomorrow. That's the plan. And then Illinois plays at 2:00 pm. Yay for boat time!! I am so ready!! I been tannin'. I am going to so look like a tourist. Probably be in my shorts in 50 degree weather. Sandals too!! So what if I freeze!!
Hey there! It's 4 degrees here and dropping. All that melted today is now ice! Bobbie, Great dinner,yummm! Pat, don't they have penny machines? When we go to Mohegan Sun, we head straight for the penny and,yes, half penny machines. Play longer and have lots of fun! Sounds like you and Mom had a great time. Bet she looked cute in her visor! Miz, boat time real soon! Jen, could you send some of that thawing weather to me? Legs are bad tonight. Think I'll be in bed early!
Hi Jam, et al--got back from taking my Mother to the mall for an outing. I hate to tell you this, but it's 6:15 pm, and it's 75 degrees. Having a glass of wine, waiting for hubby to get home. I can't believe how great my Mother is doing--knock on wood. We were all so stressed, and all it took ( for her) was the right doctor. We are counting our Blessings, especially since we just heard ZsaZsa had her left leg amputated. She and Mother are the same age ( I have heard this since I was small). But, ailments and husbands aside: Mother is way better off. We sat on the sofa watching news and having cheese and crackers. She is laughing, her Irish humor is in full swing, and I thought it was gone for good. Thank you, God. I wish the same sort of happiness to each of you, in whatever way is perfect for you. I know it will not always be like this, so we are taking the perks and appreciating them for as long as possible. What I want to know is this: how can she be sleeping better without a sleeping pill; how can she be getting up fewer time to pee, and sleeping longer before she needs to? Big Hugs to :Bobbie, Miz, Jam, Elizabeth, Linda (XO), Jen, the Peach, Ted, Maxine, Pirate, Rosella(meow), Pat in the Hat, Sue in MA, the Deefer, DianeS--and that's from memory. If I forgot your name, you are in my heart, which is more important. christina
