damn rossella why the big bill,,,,,i know I have to have two lights on in my mom's room most of the day and night...but electric bill is still reasonable
Actually it's 560 dollars. Now you understand why I put my head agains the fridge hoping that the brain stopped to smoke... For me it corresponds to 8 nights of work. My mother is sleeping because she's been out all day and she is tired... Our password is "make her tired!"
Pirate, I'm beginning to wonder if we are related. You had me laughing so bad. My grandparents spoke German in their house. Mom's maiden name is Friederich. My mom's name is Ann and she calls the bedrails "the Gate"....."Put the GD gate down!!"
Bless her heart (a Southern thing - once you say that, then you can talk about them) if I took her to the bathroom once today, I took her 50 times.....no lightning strikes....must not be lying. Was interrupted twice just typing this ...on neb machine off neb machine. If she would quit holding her breath every time she pees, wipes, and gets back in bed, she wouldn't have such a hard time breathing....well, she does have COPD.
Going to bed now. No more help till next Monday night. Time for one more smoke...then I'll pass it back........
oh yes getting them tired is good, however my mom no longer moves so it's meds time.....still hear her panting...god I wish they would just prescribe a sedative instead of this shit meds....

Gee Rosella.....That is a hefty bill!! I have 10 foot ceilings and 2 little space heaters going all the time, all electric appliances and mine is almost half of that. Go to Paris, visit the Louvre, have coffee at a cafe on the sidewalk, and window shop on the Champs cause normal people can't afford to buy on that street. I went to McDonald's on the Champs and only bought fries...pomme frites ...is that German or French??

I will post on your wall the joke about "That's Nice". Have to get my friend to tell it to me again so I get it right... G'nite everyone, going to bed and read.... hugs across the miles...
Seemeride, thanks for the 'Bless her heart' explanation. My sis lives 10 minutes away and she is MIA, bless her heart. Oh, I love that. Bless her stingy selfish heart and make it generous and kind...LOL. Ok, I felt a little guilt... I guess that means I took it too far. Laleeda, I'm going to think of you when I slice a banana for my uncle's cereal in the morning. Good night. I hope everyone gets a good night's sleep.

Stand proud you noble swingers of clubs and losers of balls A recent study found the average golfer walks about 900 miles a year.. Another study found golfers drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year. That means, on average, golfers get about 41 miles to the gallon . Kind of makes you proud. You almost feel like a hybrid .
A tough looking group of bikers were riding when they saw a girl about to jump off a bridge, so they stop.
The leader, a big burly man, gets off his bike and says, "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to commit suicide," she says. While he did not want to appear insensitive, he didn't want to miss an opportunity. He asked, "Well, before you jump, why don't you give me a kiss?"
So, she does and it was a long, deep lingering kiss. After she's finished, the biker says, "Wow! That was the best kiss I have ever had. That's a real talent you are wasting. You could be famous! Why are you committing suicide?" "My parents don't like me dressing up like a girl..."
Hi, I really need your advice on a serious problem:
I have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs: if the phone rings and I answer, the caller hangs up; she goes out with the girls a lot. I try to stay awake to look out for her when she comes home but I usually fall asleep.
Anyway last night about midnight I hid in the shed behind the boat. When she came home she got out of someone's car buttoning her blouse, then she took her underpants out of her purse and slipped them on.
It was at that moment crouched behind the boat that I noticed a hairline crack in the outboard engine mounting bracket.
Is that something I can weld or do I need to replace it?
Hey kt My name is Harv and I live in Michigan. The crew leader is my real cousin and I try to bring a little laughter to cover up all the tears you guys have during the days and nights. Love to ya all the Cuz ps I wasn't on last night cause the lighning was real close and we had about a good 1/4" of ice on everything this morning
I know very few things in German, one is "Haben sie Sacher torte?" because when I went to Germany and Austria with dad when we were young, my brother and I plunged ourselves in the Konditorei and we didn't get out until we had tasted them all- but my favorite one will always be the great Sacher. Careshare, that pic with the plastic gloves rocks! I plan to walk, walk walk in Paris and buy nothing unless I find a shop were they sell electronic devices on sale/at a very low price, so I save some money compared to Italy. I don't plan buying a Dior, or a Louis Vuitton bag. I wonder why I had such a enormous bill and I think it's because I kept the electric stove in my room on, night and day, and they have computed now how much I consumed. I had very low bills during the winter. So I guess I am paying now for the whole winter consumption. Next year I hope I can buy a pellet stove for my room, too.... Scheisse!
BTW I just knew about a lady I know, in Rome, another translator, who has an Alz mother and (the mother) had an attack of rage and she smashed the door with her fists and now she is in the ER. I'd like this lady to participate to the thread, too. She is bilingual english/italian so she will have no problems at all. So the contingency from Italy will rise to 2 people.
