Hi Crew, I was outta here for a couple of days but I'm back. I'm glad to see everyone posting and venting.. sometimes when there is no other way to see things other than the way they are you gotta say "just fuck it" it's all part of survival.

A really good book that will leave you feeling good about yourself is "You Can Heal Your Life" by Louise Hay. Or if you're not a reader there are video clips on youtube to watch and get a quick pick me up. Her books and clips have been a godsend to me many times.

Bobbie, you know I'll show up if you have a webcast to hangout. Send me an email if you decide to do it. Just an idea.. but wouldn't it be fun to have a Pajama Party online through a webcast for those of us who are so tied down at home all the time it could be fun. Just thought I would toss the idea out here. Anyway it's time for the dogs to all get their baths (oh joy).

Update - got a one line text from the absentee brother who wanted to come his parents after two years. It read, "Please disregard." My response, "I didn't think you'd come anyway. I mean, how can you have time between all those Caribbean vacations?"

Boy the "F" s are flying here today! I am loving it! It has given me a good laugh cause you know we all want to say it! If you really want a laugh-go to you tube and see the video "Uses and History of the Word F***" but spell it out. Watch the one that says it is Monty Python that is really sound only...too funny. If the F word really offends you, you may not want to hear this vid. I hope I don't get banned for telling you about it! Mame

Basically, just despairing and feeling sorry for my self. But I won’t say I don’t have good reason. I have had a really rotten life and I am up to my neck in misery here. From anyone who knows the story here perverted grandfather, feces, pee, weird looks, irritation stress worry he is gonna kill me mom it was just compounded by close proximity today. The errand I hadn’t planned to be part of I was expected at the last minute mom asks... “Are you going?” Oh like I had a choice Ma! Puhlease…So two miserable hours in the car with him pointing out insipid things, look at that plane, move so slow ya wonder why they don’t fall out of the sky…reading off signs, 10 Am to 5 PM daily haheheheh…Why is THAT funny! Heres one, we get to cemetery and put roses on Grandmas grave and he sees piles of grass and dirt a ways off…“Look at that big sink hole, wonder what them piles of sod er for…..?” Old Man are you THAT stupid?! Asked and Answered….God I miss grandma. An older lady was sitting outside the foot doctors waiting for the paratransit bus…I know that dance...She zipped up her coat, pulled up her collar, looked at her watch, tapped her feet and hunkered over, a cool breezy day here in Spokane. I am a shy person and debated the possibility of a negative response versus my gut and got out of the car and took a blanket over and wrapped it around her legs and ar,ms and we talked for about 15 minutes while she waited for her bus and I waited for the pervert to get done with his foot check. We talked about the weather and she talked about health as most older people do. Family. Was nice. I felt better I riskled the chance of being told to get away, don’t bother me…Ya just never know OMG!!!!!!Snap CRACK BOOM!!! A huge limb just fell off of our tree next to the garage and fell on the neighbors shed 1:00 PM gotta go deal now!!!!!

Mame: Don't worry. If you get thrown off the thread you will be in good company as we will all be joining you. As you said, the F word be flying and a fine word it is too.

SS: Glad Mame sent you to see Monty and he gave you a good laugh. We all love you.

Here's the plan: Judy and I are going to go moon my sister. SS you can come too if it will make you feel better. Beck is coming too. We are going to put some shine on our butts and haunt her windows at night. Beck is going to put her weave on her ass and we will put her in the middle. Judy was considering some butt pumpkin painting. You know, black triangles for eyes, etc. Maybe we can spell out FUCK YOU on your cheeks too. Going to paint on the thongs to avoid chaffing. If we can get our cheeks to twitch in sync, should be pretty scary. OOHHH. Take that you goofy twit.

Sscape: I'm thinking about you and all you have to do to clear out your mom's place of all belongings. What a job. I had to do it all by myself too. I'm worried about what you will do next. Where you will go. So much is up in the air for you right now. Please stay in touch.

This is a really good thread. Love you guys, Cattails.

Cat, did you ever see the Ace Ventura movie where Ace bent over and grabbed his butt cheeks and moved them when he talked, like his ass was talking? I thought it'd add a nice touch to the mooning we're going to give your sister. I just practiced it a bit. I think I'm pretty good at it.

How's your dad?

So, no urgent care for Mom today. She wants to go tomorrow. Oh, joy. I can't wait. Groceries, rug washing, urgent care, trip planning and who knows what else. My dad hardly got out of bed today. Some days, he sleeps, no exaggeration here, about 20 hrs. He gets up for maybe 4 hrs during the day.

Jenn - you had a shitty day but it ended pretty sweetly. That woman is probably telling someone tonight about what you did for her.

I just ignored a phone call. I should probably go see if its Mom. Watch, she'll want to go to urgent care tonight and I'm sooo tired.

You guys are hilarious!

Jen! was thinking of you and so glad you posted! nice wth the lady at the bus stop.

Cricket! I love the PJ party and how about 8pm Eastern tomorrow night? I will mess with the cam tomorrow and see what we can come up with.

Cattails! Hope you come and bring the mooning party. I think we can get 4 screens up and it would be stupid funny to see 4 moons.......

OK, hope everybody has as decent a night as possible.

we just finished cutting down half of a tree that the wind blew over BOOM into the fence the neighbors shed, West side where the people moved out last week. Mom called D and he used grandpas chain saw he was off today convenient. The half that fell in the rental property mom says we are leaving there, Act of God law. That sounds so wrong. they are are trees...what ever she'll be mad enough when the arborist comes when ever we do that. one of the trees is rotten and it needs to come down i think. If she even starts to say we don't have the money for that I am gonna leave. How bout you get your job back ma, I am off crutches now you can go back to working full time driving to work in snow at 5 Am or maybe we could sell some of grandpas drugs on line and get some cash, yes we just don't know where the money is going to come from....He gets twelve dollar magazines, CD's and DVD's every other week for something fun... eat out three times a week gets socializing and exercise and we wear ripped underwear and if i have to be told one more time by D to get Net flicks..It's only 5 dollars a month or something...WE DON'T HAVE IT! OK WE DON'T HAVE IT!!!! What part of we don't have any money do you not get! Mom is going to replace several pairs of his sweats for Christmas, You know buy them herself, because some of his are looking old...The skirt am wearing now is patched to the point it is like an inner lining i just don't want to hear it..I know he worked for it, SO DO I NOW. nothing. why ever talk about it. rotten e mail nothing you can do..

the dog killers moved out, the new people. smoke pot, have scream fests and this is hard to explain but seemed to be LOOKING in our yard for Cleo my cat and came very quietly around the back of the garage and when they saw me seemed to change direction. They had their pit bull with them. I get the feeling they were gonna pull Cleo over the fence and sick their dog on her for fun. I am not gonna try and explain this. I had a very bad feeling about it and Cleo no longer goes out alone...
I am just losing it here...It is like we are trapped in some sort of rotten life limbo waiting for him to die so we can have a life again. Do I get any good in my life ever?! I am just sick of all this....

Oh Jen,
we love you so much and I am glad you saw the pit bull people before they added to the misery.
You are going to get through this and pop out on the other side. It will get better and I don't know how but it will. We have to believe that it will get better because for us to believe otherwise is soul killing.
Love you Jen and you are one of the deserving folks I wish I had a magic wand for. Bing Bang Boom and all of the bs is gone. With new and more interesting bs in its place......

Yes, you get to have good in your life.
Is there any news about your work? the Play?

I went to see my dad today and he seemed more alert. I fed him lunch and he ate about 50 percent. About 50 percent on his breakfast too. He continues to lose weight. This is going to be a process. He smiled when I was there with him. I hugged him and told him I loved him. He's ok, but he's declining. God bless his heart and soul. Cat.

G'mornin... So, how does this webcast thing work? Is it just all of you guys chatting or what? Can I come? Do I need a camera on my laptop? There is one in the house, I would just have to figure it out. I am interested in knowing more.
SS-I am so happy I could give you a laugh on a bad day! When we listened to it the first time, we were crying we were laughing so hard! My mom even listened (years ago) and she was totally holding back the laugh...and then she says, "Oh, you kids"....We would have to stop and rewind it cause we couldn't hear we were laughing so hard. Enjoy it again and again!
Jen, I am really psyched that you talked to that old lady and gave her a blanket. Doing something like that and having it appreciated...priceless! You have a good heart!
Cat-so happy dad gave you a smile! I am sure it means the world to you to have him acknowledge you. I am sure he loves you too!
It is nice to have everyone posting again! Even tho things can be painful or tedius-we can all relate and I think need eachother! Thanks for being here!
Keep your fingers crossed that mom will go to daycare today! I think I am up to pushing it...she is a tough cookie when she doesn't want to go tho!
Have a good one. Mame

Mame, I was thinking the same thing - what is this webcast thing and can I come to? It'd be great to meet/see/really blab with people, but I won't even be home today until its all said and done. Can someone explain what the webcast is so that maybe if its at a time when I'll be home next time, I can do it too?
I'm keeping my fingers crossed, lighting an incense and sending some "out the door" energy your way, hoping that your mom goes to daycare.
Cat - I hope your dad smiles at you again today.
Jen - Is it time to keep Cleo inside now? I had a sweet, sweet ferret years ago that the neighbor dogs tore up. I heard the commotion when it was too late. I'd love to be able to go back and keep him safe.
Ladee - I'm waiting to hear that explosion from the east. A Thangplosion. I raise my coffee cup to your housework delegation plan - great idea,.
I've got to get the carpool boys to school this morning. Then, its on to Mom's. Hope everyone has a good day. xx

Hi Crew,
It doesn't look like Bobbie has set up anything yet for today. You can register using facebook, twitter or your email account. Once you get on to the channel you can either go on camera and talk or without a camera in the chat area. I have a camera but for some reason when I use it I lose the sound, so I just chat. I'll keep you posted if I see anything about a time and try provide the link if AC will allow it. Talk with you later!

Dear Crew...

Diane is right and I have been doing off the boat errands all day and haven't had a chance to set up the show.

Could those that are interested tell me which day they would prefer? If we're going to throw a party might as well make sure those that want to come can!

Maybe we can do tomorrow night at 8?

All you need is your computer to watch and post to the webcast. If you want to come onscreen you just need your computer's camera. If you don't have a camera you can still watch and communicate by typing.

We had a bunch of fun last time and our program goals are just to Vent about anything. Caregiving or ?
For instance today I am pissed that my hair is thinning but what can ya do?
Just when I thought I couldn't get any goofier looking.
My boobs still stick out further than my roll so I am ahead there.

Thanks Diane for jumping in cause I have been gone all day.
OK, brought home a rotisserie chicken so I am going to be a Viking here....

love you guys way more than you know.

Tracy, I will be praying for you. WHat did your doctor say about you coming off the antidepressant? Did you ween yourself off the meds. If you didn't, you certainly can be putting you body through a physical withdrawl. Take a deep breath and deal with the present. Once the husband is thru being an ass, try talk things out. One step at a time dear lady! Love & Hugs, Diane
