Hey Bobbie! Glad to hear you are feeling better. Wish I could be on that boat right now, sans husband!!! Ted, so happy that you are so upbeat now! Amazing what a week to yourself can do! Linda, no motor cycles for me! But my younger sister has a huge Harley that she rides all the time. She drove it all the way down to bike week in Myrtle Beach a couple years ago! Crazy!!! Jam, Black mascara? Does she look like a raccoon? Miz, I love all animals too, but I like a good steak anytime.
Deef, i'm making a concious effort to try to stay upbeat, I never really noticed before how many times a day something or other will try and bring my mood down till now. I think by nature i'm a fairly happy guy but lately, well you guys know what i mean. But Yeah, now i'm trying to catch my mood when it starts heading downhill and turn it around out of sheer force.
yep deefer....actually a raccoon looks better......she just got through demanding I bring it back to her....I don't think so old woman.....but I did agree to get her some brown. At least she won't look so ridiculous. she is also demanding to be taken to the store.....omg I would rather put a stick in my eye....she is just not capable of shopping anymore and nothing will change that.
Jam, my mom bought me some clear mascara one time. Not sure what the point was, bless her heart, but would COL know the difference?? LOL, maybe mama thought I was wearing too much too!! :)
Ted, Sometimes we are the only ones who can help ourselves. I'll admit it's a hard thing, but it's better than the alternative. Jam, miz may have your solution! Clear mascara! Worth a try.
deefer...did your husband have insurance through work and were you covered? If so, you should be able to cobra for 18 mo. This is something you might want to check into.
oh i remmy the clear masacra , i used to wer black ones then i thought damn my eye lash is soo longgg and it realy made it looks like fake eye lashes so i went bought the clear ones , it works and does better , well i cant wear them any more , my eyes itch like hell . i found standing still , wow ! 2 dobermen dogs , i had one when i first got married , had to find home for him cuz we were moving into the city , no pets allowed , broke my heart . they are good dogs ,
I hate to say it but last time I ate KFC I wanted to die. My stomach was so freakin bloated....but what that chicken did to grandma was CRIMINAL.
KFC are non-cooking chicken poachers. If you can call it chicken. I spent the entire day in the bathroom with grandma when I thought I'd shit myself beside her....only one throne in that tiny room and I was out ranked and out flanked.
hey all, beautiful rescue dog & I are official. I'll email & FB photos. Finally! Something sweet & good! Sir is better & sends his regards. Loves the new husky mix as do the little dogs & all the cats.
omg--I'm exhausted from trying to catch up. I was out today when the Boat thread thing happened and my iphone was going ding ding ding like a pinball machine with all the fb posts. I couldn't do anything but wait. Then I got home and washed my car, talked to a couple of neighbors, and started to watch Oprah. Sat down here, and I'm thinking, "there is a party on the boat and I'm not there." Whaaaaa. Typical. Congrats Deef--you deserve it (boattime) and I hope you get something really, really good. I have an idea, but I'll need your address................ heehee I'm glad you all got things settled. I was reading so FAST and hyperventilating, that I thought I read that Ted was wearing clear mascara; then I "rewound" and became clear that it was not someone's dogs that were sick, but giant cats, bobcats and cougars, and Deefer is going to get a job at Home Depot because she can FIX THINGS--TELL ME WHAT CAN'T SHE DO, PLEASE. Jam is looking foxy, Maxine is a fox, a few people are feeling GUILTY, for some imagined reason. Ooh, reminds me of myself before therapy took hold, before I became responsible for Mother, when she was out in the world doing whatever the hell she wanted with whomever, and now, I've spoiled her freedom. Yes, the last guy was the physical therapist, about 35, (whoohoo), and HE used to tell HER he was her "Cute little china guy"....no no no, please. You can't flirt with her, She takes it to heart. Don't do those specific exercises with her anymore, please. I have to deal with the repercussions, the lovesick crying, "where is he, I can't remember what he was wearing, and I can't remember his name, so I've lost him forever. We were together such a long time (5 minutes at the mall). So now, here I am, my email is open and as I write this I am getting little boxes in my lower left screen that say, "Ted has posted, Rosella, has posted, etc., and its not here. So I am alone again, on the Boat, everyone is somewhere else. when I get there, they'll be back here. It's ok. I am not taking it personally. I am just very happy you all got it straightened out, and that SSK is with us, and we might visit her. Headbanger?
Deef! the last word of your 10.000 post was "diarrhea!"! I see there have been some more little problems, this time with the site - there is a problem every month or so, and we HAPPILY SURVIVE TO EVERYTHING! 10.000 posts are not a joke, even if they talk about diarrhea. So please, people who think of leaving, think it over. Stay, and you'll find the way to express yourself somewhere else, too. But this thread is too important and maybe it is the only one which is really useful for us. Christina, if I get older I think I'll become an old flirt like your mother. It's very nice and sweet what she does. I am sorry you have to listen to her when she cries for the men that she met for 5 minutes and she lost, but it's so cute! BTW the word for "meow" is "miao" while we don't have a word for "purrr" so we say "purrrr" There are some cat owners who call their cat "Miao" and their dog "Bau" and I don't think the cat is glad about it. The dog doesn't care. Did I tell you I have one of my dogs who likes to dance? When I go around the room singing she does not move, but when I sing and dance she comes to me, puts her front legs on my chest and dances with me. She dances waltz with Daniela, my helper, and disco dance with me. I'll make a short movie sooner or later. I am a cougar, too. My last boyfriend was 8 years younger and the problems between us were not the age difference. The problem is that he can't stay with a woman for more than 3 years and whatever is her age, he dumps her after 3 years. He did the same with the girlfriend he had after me, and she was much younger. As far as I am concerned, 3 years was a very very long time, as my previous record was 1 year. I am not good for the long runs... I am flirting now with a boy who is more or less 30 years old and I am not ashamed of it. If I ever manage to date him (which is very difficult but let's dream) I will do whatever it needs to be done. Bobbie if I understood well you propose to make a house with a draining ditch in the middle so you can clean it with the hose. (was it so?) This is a great idea. Night everybody ...
it's raining here in California, too, Rosella. Yes, if my husband is not around when I am an old lady, I will go to italy or Portugal or where the men are dark and swarthy and want to dance and eat chocolate and eat pasta and drink red wine and have sex in the afternoon, and I will die happy. I hope God will take me, and not make me live into my 90s.
This is cougar country....it is good to be Queen of your jungle. I raise a glass to my cougar sisters.
Christina your post was hilarious. I often feel like that when I log in and swim through 18-20 posts at a time. Who is on first? No...she ran to second....Hot damn...Ted ran home.....Where is Linda...did she walk the dog without me?
I probably won't make my 90's and that is ok....I have counseled my children. When my brain consists of more dust than neurons...I want bus-therapy. I don't want God to sit around reading my resume before he decides I'm ready.
Bobbie: Don't they call a drain running through the bottom of your kitchen a bilge? Well they do on a boat.
I'm still here...I wasn't gonna leave I was just going to stalk you all.
Anxiety runs like swine flu through our family. I got a double dose of anxiety....Thats because we have 5 generations in our family. 3 are living IN THIS HOUSE...(besides making my husband a living saint)....it makes me a nervous wreck mostly. I am someones granddaughter AND someones grandmother all at the same time.
Think about this for a moment. I am in a special place in my life. I have found a place in this wonderful cosmos where shit can roll downhill....and somehow uphill AT THE SAME TIME. I am not just your average middle-child...I am a middle generation.
I can go loopidy-loo at a moments notice and trust me baby...I always think it is my fault when stuff turns sideways.
I'm happy to know the Admin gods aren't unhappy with this thread and that they won't smite me for my ramblings...I'm just a poor caregiver damnit!!! I'm an unpaid indentured servant....I only sleep if my master allows me....I NEED MY SPACE TO VENT!!!
Hey to all. Sorry I've been non verbal for a bit. I have been trying to keep up with the posts but just aren't in the right frame of mind to add a post or two. Been a tough few weeks as I know we all have. Black hole tries to get close and I seem to use all my energy to keep it at bay. Deef, so sad to hear about your husband. HB and SS - I don't know what happened but whatever it was, we ALL belong right here! Right here, all the time!! So please don't go away. Bobbie, hope you are feeling better. Linda, hope pa is feeling better. To all - my love, prayers and sincere hope for a better day tomorrow. Kuli
hi rip !! good to see you ! :-) headbanger- yes i went for a walk with my dog without you . you didnt show up waaaa, rossella- i think i rather die in my sleep in my bed than standing up cuz i may fall and crack my head . love reading when you all type away . makes me smile .. ok midnight here , my body is achin today , dishes full of sink waitin to be wash , told them dishes that rip will be here soon to wash em for me :-) dad seems to be ok , no more runs . whew . must be the food i cooked for supper lol ... goodnight you all . xoxo
