Good Morning Caregivers! Happy Birthday Cuz!! Ah, yer still a pup. Love to everyone and it was good to hear your voice yesterday!
Christina, I think you're right and Miz is just stressing. Miz!! swallow all your vitamins and some zinc and airborn and don't worry. even if you're sick down here you still get the royal treatment. I'll just tuck you in and wait on ya hand and foot and you'll sleep and get better! Husband can hang out and watch dvds and go to the store for us like in Ozzie and Harriet. the husband always goes to the store! If he has a cold too, we'll pop him into his own room and he can sleep and snore and get fed and be relaxed. the Bob Magical Cold Cure: sleeeeeep and souuuuuup. Sux when you're by yourself but it's ok when someone is there to bring the soup and a fresh box of tissues. That would be me.
Boat work is proceeding at a nice pace and there is someone on the boat right this minute working on the bowthruster install. yay.
I think the rain is going to stop for a minute but no sun to dry stuff up.
How is everybody coping with all of the snow everywhere? Georgia said that they had snow this am!!
there's a lady who just posted about her twin girls and one who is autistic... i'm going over there to write a little something something. She's really upset and so is her little daughter.
hey guys and gals just got thru reading the last 140 posts. I have been working around 18 hours a day since the blizzard hit hauling snow at the Kent County Airport. went in tuesday morning at 12:30am and got home around 10:oopm. went back at 8am and worked till 9:30pm. This morning I went in at 6am and got home at 9:30pm. Thanx to everyone who was concerned about me and mom. Will start jokes again Friday the 4th if I don't get home to late. I hit the big 62 on the 4th but have to hit the sheets now cause I have to be back at airport at 6:30am to haul more snow. Luv you all CUZ
Get the zinc, Miz. 50 m. And the Airbourne, Echinacea, etc. You are having anxiety about HAVING A REALLY GOOD TIME!!! Admit it. You can't let down your defenses now!! It's BOAT TIME!! (Play a Sousa March in background!!) OMG. People. How do you do all the multi-communicating?! I am a MESS after today. I have never seen so many people I didn't know I knew in my entire life. Only, there were many photos of CATS. I think I'm turning into my MOTHER. Jen, all I can think of is Jam's advice: Pillow Therapy. Sounds effective to me. A la Lauren Bacall, "You just put your head into the pillow and scream. YOU know how to scream, don't you, Jen?" Well, as with all forms of MATH, I will keep trying the multi- communication medium, and hope I catch on. Thank you, friends who have encouraged and welcomed me. Angie, Miz, Elizabeth, LindaHEART:))) Big Hugs! I think my cousin from Ireland was there, too. Weird. Cousins are great, aren't they?! And, I feel bad I was not here! SSK! Sue:) did you make the chocolate chip cookies? How are you tonight? Hugs, Christina

Tired of the cold.... and is it cold.... Nothing like Chicago for sure..... Just keeping up with keeping everything clear so there arent any accidents on the piles of ice..... Things are pretty quiet right now. Just keeping tabs on mom..... She found a gold pocket watch that I had papa when I was a little girl. I remember he use to wear it when he was a school bus driver, i was his little companion back then. I have placed it next to his pic and the memory lamp. Whenever I start to miss him, I go sit and hold it and just talk to him. I Miss him so much.... But I know that i have to keep moving forward..... :But the weather does not help with the depression, but i am trying..... My daughter has announced her engagement, something to look forward to...

Love to all.... Welcome Christina...... Smiles of love to all Angie
Hey Crew, just got off the horn with my Cuz and he's doing fine. The reason he hasn't been able to be online is that he's been pushing snow around an airport in Michigan! He and his wife are doing fine, his mom (my aunt) is doing fine and his wife's mom is doing fine. So I guess they're all doing fine.
I don't know what's happening here but this is a boatyard and it is raining in historical amounts and I heard talk about building some kind of ark.......
Hey Susan (ssk)! I'm here pretty much all of the time, too & would love to talk to you on FB as well as here! It would be good for both of us! We're all here to lift each other up & be supportive against the black foxhole! I hope that you're having a much better day & that tomorrow will be even better!!! Give me a shout, ok?!?!

omg linda find a nap it is in the corner i got wrn out think about watching you in my mind omg linda i wish i could clone myself and be there to take some of your load my heart goes out to you
all the rest of you ther is a nap hiding in your house as well find it it is calling i hear it
hope that ground hog is not fouling around but then on the other hand i dont lik summer
schools closed here today ice everywhere and sleet and lite snow we dont have salt or equipment for things like that so we have to shut down well take care everyone catch you later
Thanks Miz, it's not easy. The first time I heard the word "love" from a human was from a boy when I was 14. Yeah, right. Thankfully, my generation--"the LOVE generation", and now, we're "the coolest generation", started being more demonstrative. Then we moved through the "psycho-babble", and now we don't have time for all that. Whew--Life is exhausting:)) hugs
Christina, that was a very nice short story! It's good to hear from you all! If I don't "see" you for a while, I worry. Jam, my mother is more and more "out of this world", too. (sense of reality equals almost to zero). Almost every night she spends 3/4 of the night on the chair; she does not want to go to bed because she does not realize it's night-time. And if she does not want to go to bed, I don't force her to do so, even if I know that the following morning she will have more pains in her back, because I want to leave her 1 degree of freedom out of 360.... She already feels I impose her a lot of things (washing, eating, going out, coming back home, living in this house...), I don't want to impose her the bed-time, too. In a couple of weeks we have an appointment to an Alz centre and I hope they give her Namenda or Aricept or both. I am glad for those of you that are taking a short vacation and I am sorry for those of you who are in the mess 24/7. Jen have you started working? Mary how are you? I am tired but I feel rather well. When you need to be well, you are well.
Christina, it sounds like a wonderful thing to me but I can see how it would be disheartening that she was not that way with you when you were growing up. My mom became much more vocally loving to me and others as she got older. I think I started off with the "I love you" thing because that was not said around our house. Mom used to say, "Mommy loves her girl." but I guess that's not really the same. Anyway, just enjoy it while you can, dear. :))
About the dementia thing, as Bobbie referred to: Weirdest thing happened yesterday when I was doing my Mother's morning beauty treatment after shower. All of a sudden out of nowhere, she says,"You're special". I looked around to see if anyone else was there; she has never been one to acknowledge anything good about me. I asked her why she said that? "Because you are, to do all this for me". She is more with it in the morning, and at night now, she is like a cat you are trying to catch to get out of a precarious situation. I asked her why she never said that to me when I was a child. she said HER Mother didn't want any of the kids to be Vain. I said, Well, Mother, there is a difference between children being spoiled and feeling they have value and are loved. That is why I chose to apply the Golden Rule in raising my children. She said, "I know. I learned about that and about God from YOU. I wish my Mother had taught us that." Me, I asked? "Yes, you, my daughter". Weirdest damn thing. This is killing me.
Hi everyone Bobbie my cat goes crazy for cardboard boxes anytime he is frustrated he goes to town on boxes even if they are not his bought him a high tech scratch board -never used it, Well it seems my Mr. Wonderful on the dating site is gone on to better things I refused to take his son into live with me and did not buy his money problems and had told him our first dates were going to be at a public place he is probably on to another widow who will give him heaps of money I had told my son he is either the nicessts guy or ful of ship. I will probably see him on Judge Judy with a crying women who gave him all her money which he was going to pay back and he will say oh it was a gift what a scumbag he turned out to be. Hope everyone is doing ok with this winter nightmare next storm on Sat then again on Tue my friends are going to meet me for lunch-in April or May cabin fever is so bad I am actually calling people on the phone. Bobbie do not work so hard -the work will get done, Maxine
Christina, at night is when I have the hardest time not eating too. I can be good all day and then wham it's night and I wanna eat cookie after cookie or whatever. I have tootsie pops and I figure if I have two of those I'm okay and it helps me stay off the other stuff.
LOL Bobbie, the only way we would ever talk bad about you is if you turned out to be an axe murderer or took us out into the middle of the ocean and threw us in the drink. Either way, we would not live to tell the tale so you're safe. :) In all seriousness, Peach and I would NEVER do that to you. I know you know that. :)
Morning, Fellow Doing too Much for Others and NOT Enough for Yourselves People!! OK--I have a story/joke. Won't offend anyone, if it does, bite someone. Shortest College Essay: A college class was told they had to write a short story in as few words as possible. The instructions were: The short story must contain the following three subjects: 1. Religion 2. Sexuality 3. Mystery ( there you go, Rosella) Below is the only A+ given in the entire class.............................
" Good God, I'm pregnant. I wonder who did it."
Have a great day everyone. I had a feeling, in Deefer's case, "no news is GOOD news". Whew. Hey, SSK...... How about bake some CHOCOLATE CHIP cookies? Just the small of them baking will bring happy feelings, and Mom will love to help. Tasting. Send me one, OK? Never mind I'm off sugar this week and trying to be good, but it's difficult at night. Have a wonderful day, everyone. HUGS to all--my brain is not fully awake yet, and I can SEE and FEEL all of you, but can't list the names. Really, no kidding:))))) Christina
Good Morning Everyone. Two more days!! I gotta get to the drug store for a few things, get my nails done and finish packing and I'm good to go. The friend that is going to come and feed the kitties, etc. is going to come over tomorrow evening so I can give her a key and show her what to do. Hubby says he is gonna clean the house today. I feel bad that I have been so lazy and told him I would try to do better when after vacation. It's freeeeeeeeeeeezing cold out today. It was like 10 degrees when I checked earlier. I sure do feel bad for those of you still dealing with the everyday and night stresses and hard work of being a caregiver. I know it is still affecting me and probably will for awhile. But I will be fine and so will all of you. Love yous. Stay warm and safe!!
good morning, I think I'm getting depressed, just feel like crying all the time. Plodding along , worried about money, no one here to talk to, weather lousy, I haven't laughed in months it seems. life is crap.

OK--I have a story/joke. Won't offend anyone, if it does, bite someone.
Shortest College Essay:
A college class was told they had to write a short story in as few words as possible. The instructions were:
The short story must contain the following three subjects:
1. Religion
2. Sexuality
3. Mystery ( there you go, Rosella)
Below is the only A+ given in the entire class.............................
" Good God, I'm pregnant. I wonder who did it."
Have a great day everyone. I had a feeling, in Deefer's case, "no news is GOOD news". Whew.
Hey, SSK......
How about bake some CHOCOLATE CHIP cookies? Just the small of them baking will bring happy feelings, and Mom will love to help. Tasting. Send me one, OK? Never mind I'm off sugar this week and trying to be good, but it's difficult at night.
Have a wonderful day, everyone. HUGS to all--my brain is not fully awake yet, and I can SEE and FEEL all of you, but can't list the names. Really, no kidding:))))) Christina
love,
