A virile middle aged Italian gentlemen named Guido was relaxing at his favorite bar in Rome when he managed to attract a spectacular young blond woman. Things progressed to the point where he led her back to his apartment and, after some small talk, they retired to his bedroom where he rattled her senseless.
After a pleasant interlude, he asked with a smile, So, you finish? She paused for a second, frowned, and replied. No.
Surprised, Guido reached for her and the rattling resumed. This time she thrashed about wildly and there were screams of passion. The sex finally ended and, again, Guido smiled and asked, You finish?
Again, after a short pause, she returned his smile, cuddled closer to him and softly said, No.
Stunned, but damned if he was going to leave this woman unsatisfied, Guido reached for the woman yet again. Using the last of his strength, he barely managed it, but they ended together screaming, bucking, clawing and ripping the bed sheets. Exhausted, Guido fell onto his back, gasping. Barely able to turn his head, he looked into her eyes, smiled proudly and asked again, You finish?
Barely able to speak, the beautiful blonde whispered in his ear... No, I Norwegian ...
Awwwww Jen. So sorry about your plant. I so wish you and your mom could work together and be on the same page instead of the way it seems to be... Passive aggressive? Taking out on you her anger for him? Cause I can't understand why she would be mad at you! Hope therapy goes well for you today and that you can enjoy a nice lunch out! Hugs to you woman! Mame
Mame, Hope you can get some resolution and or relief to your mother and her hands....So sorry to hear how uncomfortable it is making her.....
Well now that the worst of this cold has ran it's course, and feeling better all around it is this dang cold house that is affecting me....leaving the room is sooo cold, just to use the restroom....(the mastersuite although kinda large the bathroom is out due to the flooring issue. but the temp floor in there least contains things so I can keep this room warm enough for mom if I close us in) I just want to stay cuddled up in here....but then it is making me a lil stir crazy, to not be able to have my own space to get away from mama for a bit, and her constant fidgeting and growling alllllllllll ddddaaaaayyyyyy n night loooonnnnnggggg! I love her to death but the heavy breathing and growling and the sound her mattress makes when she fidgets, the plastic alternating pressure mattress cover, motor and everytime she moves even a hair makes this quite noise from the rubbing or ???? Man they can get on my nerves, when I am trying to concentrate on things I need to do or read, I have enough trouble reading!!!!!!
Did get the car back, $2,000 later, couple Fridays ago, at least now I can take us all somewhere if I want to! I could not fit the dogs and mom and her wheelchair in the other car therefore I could not be gone longer than I could leave the dogs locked up... We might drive to my friends for Thanksgiving if they don't go to his moms in back in California. If we stay home I am just going to use a gift certificate and get Thai food take out....I am sick of washing dishes in the tub etc.....the less mess the better for a holiday is how I feel right now...or maybe go out to the Casino...see if we can get something there...im sure the formal meal is sold out but maybe something in one of the other restaurants idk...
Well hope everyone stays warm and safe, lots of cold nasty weather across the country and all those & family travelling for the holidays has a safe trip.
Hi all! Good news here. Snotty surgical coordinator called me yesterday and was somewhat better/easier to talk to. Maybe she was having a bad day the last time we spoke. Anyway, she had not talked to the Dr about verifying the type of anesthesia...asked some question where I was like-maybe she has no memory of our conversation.... again she said that he does not do this surgery under a local.... So, I calmly and firmly restated that I was sure he said he could do this surgery knowing mom cannot go under general anesthesia....so why would he state that? and would she please check with him... She hesitates and then says, well, there is this other type of medication he can use...not general and not local anesthesia.... So, come to find out, there is something called a MAC-Monitored Anesthesia Care where they give you something to relax but you breathe on your own...no tube or anything...like what you get for a colonoscopy she said. So, I called mom's Dr and he said that she could have that!!!!! YEA!!! The OT was here working on mom's fingers & my sis had popped in when it was all taking place so we were all sooo excited! It is so painful to manipulate mom's fingers and watch the OT doing her thing and have mom wincing in pain. The surgery will keep us from having to hurt her trying to open them etc. And once they are open, she won't be smashing them down trying to grasp things like her walker etc. and having such pain with that. I feel there is hope. I have asked that the surgery be scheduled and can't wait to hear. She will still be in a hospital for it-in case there are any problems. I am not sure how long she will have to stay in the hospital-maybe a day. We will know more later. Mom seems good with it when we talk about it. She hasn't asked if the Dr is going to cut her fingers off in a couple days! So, I am feeling better about this just in time for my sons arrival for his Bday! He is leaving early this morning to beat the bad weather coming tonight/tomorrow and Thanksgiving morning! We will have a nice Bday celebration tonight. And it will be nice to be snug and warm and all together while the weather blows through. Already there are some schools canceling after school activities for this afternoon! Crazy weather across the US! Hope everyone is safe and warm-or at least relatively warm-(juju!). Have a decent day! Hugs to all! Mame
Mame, good you are getting somewhere with the surgery dilemma! Thanks everyone for being here....I am off to an ALZ ASSC support group meeting I found they have not too far from here....I don't know when they started it but last time I looked in on it, there was none, then I saw the flyer somewhere here in town!!! So I googled it over the weekend and it happened to be today! and I registered with the state that I really am on the healthcare plan, didn't miss a deadline or anything! Not sure how it works and what will cover but something is better than nothing!!! Some therapy is in dyer need! anyway I digress... I wish to just say hi and thanks! Peace, Juju
I do have a question Mame....if the one doc sed he thought it was neurological, will the problem return again, or is the surgery a permanent fix, did they give you any feedback on that?? sorry for prying but just curious, as we can all learn something possibly! N sorry for nagging about everything again, It is just so hard the first 1/2 of the day till things warm up and get close to 60 indoors then once it does, the sun goes down, ugghhh! They still did not mail my dang check been promising since last Wednes! so I two weeks away from warmth!
Thanks Juju-and there are conflicting opinions about whether it is neurological or not... But if they cut the tendons, she will have 2 floppy fingers...but at least she can get them around things instead of crushing them... The Hand Dr also said maybe he could add to the tendon to extend it...so I would hope it won't happen again or that would be a waste! I will ask! Austin-we are having (wet) snow now. Everyone is closing down after school activities etc. Later it is supposed to turn into freezing rain. I will be happy to be at home with no where to go! We can eat cake all night long as I have made two-one for my son's bday today and one for his g'friend who had her bday on the 20th! Pig out!!!! We will be eating all week and weekend! UGH! But fun! :)
Quick hello and another wish for a safe and warm and happy holiday wherever and however you can! Went to the meeting and that was good! I am worrying over mom as she has had a lite wet cough I have been monitoring, the phlegm and it is yellow now not clear like me, sign of possible infection so I think I will err on the side of caution and take her in to have them listen to her chest and maybe A/B's!
Take care and my love and appreciation to all.....gobble gobble, get your grub on!!!!
Mom has her usual "storm headache" She is pretty pitiful. She had woken up with a bad dream this morning. Glad I was here to have her talk it out. Just makes me angry tho...At God for having her remember bad things in the form of dreams..when she remembers so little-why can't it be good stuff? Also makes me angry at the siblings who never are here to help her at a time like that. At times, I think I am over the anger at them and then something like this happens and it rushes back in. I want to write a book-"where were you?" and list all the bad dreams, sicknesses, hospital or dr visits, urgent whatever she calls me for...wouldn't do any good and would only piss me off more. I know, I know, I should write it about all the good things/times she and I have had but I am just in a dark place at the moment. I think I am tired. And, even with the boys home-I am lonely! They do their thing... and here I am taking care of mom and the every day crap around here. Do the sibs ever think I might want a moment alone with my kids while they are home where mom won't call out and interrupt? And then there is me-who, wanting to do what is right and good, invites all the unmarried sibs to Thanksgiving dinner... Two offered to bring something...the other said he wouldn't miss it but is table hopping so.... Whatever. I guess he will be here when he gets here... Have any of them offered to stay with mom after dinner so we can go see Hubby's parents after dinner? Gee, I sure wouldn't want to put them out. Whatever. And, I will be cooking and wiping mom's butt with no help either. The other day, a bro visited and I was in the basement or something and mom had to go potty-he came out to the living room and got my husband. My husband took care of his mother on the pot. My husband...not her son. And I am supposed to be happy that he even came. Thank you-let me bow down as I am not worthy! I know some people just can't do the bathroom thing with their parent...but get over it! I had to! I used to gag like crazy-and she would laugh at me! It wasn't easy for me in the beginning-do they think it was and is easy for me? UGH! I am so angry. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I am supposed to feel thankful. Guess I need to change my attitude. So easy to do. HA. Where is everyone? I baked my apple pie and cooked my acorn squash this morning. What is everyone else doing? Thanks for listening to me gripe. Sorry. Mame
Well just caught up on the last 4 days of posts. I spoke too soon about the power being out only 4 hours last Saturday. Right after that it went out again, and just came back on this evening. The ice snapped power poles off like tooth picks. 3 down on my road. But, over 60 poles broken off in the area. 4 of the small towns were completely without power, so those of us outside the city limits were last to get our power back. Had to move Mom and step dad here, since sis and I heat with a wood stove. Burned up a months supple of wood keeping the house warm enough for them. They both start to shiver if the temp drops below 72. Don't know how you do it Juju. Since we get our water from a well, no electricity means no running water. Had water in the cement tank, in the big greenhouse, for the animals and flushing toilets. It holds almost 10,000 gallons, just carrying it up by the bucket full was a lot of work. The temperature has been dropping into the 20's every night, I don't know how people with no other heat source made it. Mame, sorry your family is no help. Hope your mom's surgery works out. Juju, hope you get your house fixed soon. You don't need that extra stress. Jen, how are you holding up? Sorry about your plant. Well, I was going to fix a turkey tomorrow, but may be just hot dogs instead. Right now I just want a long hot shower. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
A drunk gets up from the bar and heads for the bathroom. A few minutes later, a loud, blood-curdling scream is heard from the bathroom. Then, nothing.
But, after another minute or two, another loud scream reverberates through the bar. The bartender goes into the bathroom to investigate why the drunk is screaming. "What's all the screaming about in there?" he yells through the door. "You're scaring my customers!"
"I'm just sitting here on the toilet minding my own business," slurs the drunk, "and every time I try to flush, something comes up and squeezes the hell out of my nuts."
The bartender opens the door, looks in, and says, "you're sitting on the mop bucket"
Happy Turkey day. Hopefully everyone has a nice day. Thoughts and prayers go out for everyone of you beautiful caregivers. Thank you for all that you have given up over the years to care for loved ones that others don't care too. Think about the pay it forward and hopefully when your time comes that there will be someone with the kind heart that you all have. Enjoy the good food. Blessing from the Brinks family to yours. lovCuz
It's not gross exactly, I've seen worse, but it's urine sample time again and two mornings running… let's just say mothe's aim is a bit off. Third time lucky tomorrow?
It is so good to hear from everyone and if it's griping and venting, even better. Don't hold it in and make yourselves sick. Write it out and get it out of you!
Thanksgiving Day Boils go to:
All the siblings that are too dense and self centered to care enough to give someone a break from the soul killing routine.
A caregiver's number one responsibility is to live through this and take her or his life back when the time comes. Live through this and LIVE after this.
I couldn't do lunch. I was sent to the Psychiatric Ward by my therapist...She was that worried...I asked about transitional housing, not available. and as I am not a battered woman or have children or a displaced home maker, I do not qualify for help of any kind. At least the diagnoses of PTSD and Borderline Personality Disorder may help my case with SSI. I am just so wiped out...
Thank you meanwhile. I am doing my best, it is day by day and I am the only one who can fix me. but I will take all the help and prayers and good thoughts I can get...
Love you Jen. you are stronger than you know and I know you are using strength and energy that you don't have. I know your strength and energy accounts are seriously overdrawn but you are still not giving up. Keep on minute by minute, inch by inch. It has to end soon! omg please end soon so Jen can be free of the crazy. lovbob
Cuz-my hubby is an computer nerd-loved the frozen windows! Thanks! Hi Bobbie. Margaritas it is! Jen-love ya woman! Wish I could wisk you away-I am sure we all do! Hey Meanwhile-has the house heated back up since the power was off?? Wow-you got hit bad! Hey Countrymouse-were you able to get a good sample? Hello Echomom-how was Thanksgiving? Austin-did you get hit with the bad weather? We got some snow and cold but nothing much to write home about! Juju-how you holding up in your one room??? Kids are back to college today. Will be a let down but it was a nice visit. Home again in like 3 weeks for Christmas break! It will go by fast I am sure! Gotta run. Better attitude for me today after a horrible one yesterday! My husband is thankful!!! :) Mame
Hanging in there thanks bobbie and mame...looking at the YMCA membership info here. I can't prove lack on income so I will just spend my 200 for Dec and get to that damn pool!!!!

Wife texts husband on a cold winter’s morning:
“Windows frozen, won’t open.”
Husband texts back:
“Gently pour some lukewarm water over it.”
Wife texts back 5 minutes later:
“Computer really screwed up now.”
Wouldn't you say that this one is very similar to the one about the man who used his daughter's iPod to swat a fly?
I am just so wiped out...
Hi to all have a good weekend...Jen
