Got about 5' of the white stuff already! Yikes, predicting another 18-24" for Weds. into Thurs.!@#@! Worst part is no daycare for MOM and no Merry to help. Too nasty for her to drive here. So.... SIL and Lex are out doing the first shift of many. Trying to get ahead of the stuff! Worst part is the cold temps this time. I'm staying in with Mom for now, but if she is behaving, I'll be heading out to help the kids with the second round! Feel bad that they are on vacation this week, but am happy I'm not home alone cleaning up a place for them to park! Looks like we'll be up on the roof again this afternoon. Got to shovel it off and knock off more icicles. So far only leaking on the back porches. Nothing coming down the walls in the house yet. Good thing Mom had the roofs all done about 5 years ago. It cost $25,000, but it sure made a difference! Sorry guys! I have to shovel! Bobbie, I'm not looking forward to paperwork messes down the road either. Mom signed over this house to me last year and I am having trouble keeping up with all the bills. Used to file short form for taxes, now I need an accountant and am not even sure where to start and what all I need. Just going to do the best I can!!! Miz!!!! Boat!!!! You are so lucky to be going. Hope your travel plans don't get messed up and you have a wonderful time on the boat!!! Diane, Good to hear from you! We know busy! Christina, Welcome back!!! Jam, sorry about hubby's head. How are you doing? Austin, Book reading, perfect pastime for a snowstorm. Got me an e-reader with my X-mas $. Been downloading free books and enjoying a good read for the first time in a while. I find that my eyes don't bother me as they did with a regular book. And I can read in a dark room! Love those free books!!! Linda, I'll send some snow your way! I don't want your ice though! That would suck terribly on top of all this snow!!! Rossella, sorry all you help is not cooperating! It's bad enough we have to rely on others for relief, and worse when we can't! Ssk, Looks like you will get some this time! Hope you get yourself a renter. I'm in the process of cleaning the spare apartment for my SIL's brother and wife. They hope to be moved in by the end of this month. Can't wait for the extra$ to start coming in! I know I'm forgetting lots of people, but I wish you all a peaceful day and hope most of you are safe from this nasty white stuff!!!
christina, it's not available here. We have Fanny Maye but it's not as good. When I lived in So. Cal. I could get See's. Thank you so much for offering to do that. :)
Rosella, it's not that he doesn't trust them although one of them is an idiot. He doesn't like anyone to see him with a weakness...I guess that's the way to put it.....when his ankle and foot got so bad in the Fall of 2009 he finally stopped when he just could not walk anymore......but he would not go to the local wound care clinic......he went to another hospital an hour away. The majority of doctors out there are highly skilled and I wouldn't hesitate for one second allowing them to treat me or any of my family.....but there are some that are dumb and just not capable of doing the job. There are so many things that happen on the sidelines that the ordinary person doesn't see and they have no idea what is going on behind that nurses station desk. There is a shortage of good doctors and the nurses are coming straight out of school and don't know squat. The hospital runs off the good ones because they won't pay well enough. They just had to have this new hospital but wouldn't hire the extra people to staff it.....the old er had 3 rooms, which the staff pulled a curtain between and put two beds in each room to accommodate more patients. The new hosp. has 11 rooms and still only one doctor at a time. Most of the nurses are new and untrained and it is not unusual for hubby to look around needing one....well they have ALL run off to the cafeteria to get something to eat. Or when he orders something they look at him and say what? Or they are busy texting on their phones and not doing anything else. Sometimes there can be a couple of legitimate chest pains, a stroke, maybe a bowel obstruction, broken bones, severe breathing problems all at the same time......then here comes someone complaining of a toothache or "my back hurts" and "I just need something for pain"......oh really, well the policy is you have to submit to urine drug screen....most times they bolt out the door...other times they wait it out and the results come back showing usually high levels of THC and benzos.....and then they get mad and yell and cuss because they don't get their "fix". Mind you while the docs are playing with these folks the legit ones are having to wait. It's a nightmare and I am so glad that hubby is getting out of there before he is hit with a massive lawsuit. He really is a good doctor and will be missed greatly.....the number of people who have thanked him for "saving their life" over the years is staggering. And he won't be there anymore to gloss over the little mistakes some of them make......why cause a big incident report and someone's job over some little boo-boo that wouldn't make a difference in a patient's outcome...he never let's the big ones pass.....but there will be no protection anymore once he is gone. Sooooooo.....in the hour and a half I have been up we have gotten another couple of inches of snow, wind is blowing, cold, traffic has slowed to a crawl and this storm is headed northeast..generator is good to go if needed, plenty of food, dog's can pee on a snowdrift.....it's all good. We live off a two-lane paved county highway, can usually see the road from front window...it's all white now, can't tell a road is even there.
Ok I've babbled and bitched enough for one morning.....going to check the col and make sure there are no doggie messes for me to clean up. Hugz to all! Stay safe and warm........
No trouble. I keep my Mother supplied with it; it's the least I can do for my friends as they go on a Bon Voyage. I didn't think See's was available back there...
Peach and Bobbie and Miz--Would you like me to send y'all a box of See's Candy to share on the BOAT? I can ship today to Peach and she can bring. Let me know. Love you, christina
I can't believe the snow and I'm not even in it. Please DEEF!!! don't shovel! What miz said! Hey ssk have fun with the book! I like to hole up with the book. another very effective escape mechanism. We should come up with the Venting Book Club. If we called it the Grossed Out Book Club everybody would think we're reading medical textbooks. Jam... you're good, no kidding. OK... here's how scattered I am. I'm shooting vid so in this case you follow the action. They just fired up the travel Lift that is still sitting over the boat so I'm thinking, cool, I'll get the shot where they're pulling away. So I'm shooting away and I start to smell baked items. I'm thinking, man that smells good. I sure am hungry and I need to find that stuff. Then it's oh ya, I put bagels in the toaster oven. I got the shot tho.
I agree please: just roll with it y'all. For those that are wound a little tighter, just know we get it and we love ya and there it is. work whatever it is out and we'll see you then! it's ok. it's ALL ok.
We all have our little things we do and we all get along pretty good and that's what matters at the end of the day. All we can do is try to be good to each other and that's all that I'm trying to do now.
Flex! good to see from you! Be as good to yourself as you can.
chillout, you have my prayers. Are you sure you should wait for the doctor until the end of February?? That's a long time for you to handle all of this. Big hugs to you, sweetie.
Hellos and Hugs to all.........sorry I have not been around lately. Been trying to keep up as much as possible. Mom not doing good....awake alot at night.....thinking its time to get up every few hours. Legs are like wet noodles which is especially hard considering she is 5'8" and I am 5'2". She has a neuro appt. the end of Feb. Have noticed BIG changes, and not good ones. I'm very tired and very sore....prayers please. All of you in the northern states be extra careful....Blessings to all.
good morning Miz, glad you are gettting excited about the visit to the BOAT. ! Snowing here, pretty to look at, but not to shovel. We usually end up with rain and don't get as much as where Deef lives. I plan to get a book to read and might try the authors someone mentioned on here. A friend told me that she likes the game Scrabble Flash. It's an electronic scrabble game, I guess. I hope you all will take lots of pictures and we get to see them! have a good day ssk
Bobbie, I can't wait to get there and have a fun and crazy time. Try not to worry about what is ahead. One day at a time, one hour at a time, one minute at a time and so on. I know, easier said than done. I've made my list of what to bring and am ironing most of what needs it so hopefully won't have to iron much there. I'm kinda weird about it. Hate to wear wrinkle clothes. Hopefully I can relax about that. I can't believe that you and Peach and I are going to finally meet!! How awesome!! I'm waiting on my other boat shoes. Hope this nasty weather doesn't slow them up. Ah well, they are just shoes. :)
We're bracing for this Winter storm coming. Sounds like it's gonna get really bad tonight. I've had enough!! Don't like it. Don't want no more. I hope everyone stays safe and warm. Do not get out unless you have too if the storm is in your area!! There, the mother hen in me has had her say. And no shoveling unless you absolutely have to!!!! Hopefully hubby can keep up with it with our snow blower. He's gonna take me to work today. I was supposed to meet some friends for lunch but I'm afraid I'll have to cancel that. Better safe than sorry.
Okay. Love yous!! Thanks so much for being here!! No more drama!!!!
Good Early Morning Caregivers! It's before dawn here. the boat was hauled yesterday to in front of the work sheds in a lineup of other boats who are getting a 'hard sanding' on their bottoms. Heads should be finished today and the bowthruster install begins today. Other than that we have the watermakers and a broken window to repair and then some electronics work. I am closer to the train tracks than before if you can believe that and now I can snore right through a train horns and all. This time they blocked the boat with more sets of blocks and roped the jacks off and now she hardly vibrates at all! Scared me a few days ago.... Tomorrow they will sand the bottom and the Cat and I have to figure out another place to be or we will be driven insane. Have to get the crazy stuff out of the way before Miz and Peach come! I am trying to steel myself to go back and deal with mom's house and stuff and it's not working too well. I am in a state of dread. Thank God Miz and Peachie are going to come and we can have a few days of hootin and hollerin. thanks everybody for your messages of love and I so appreciate it. What everyone is going through with the snow and ice, staples in the head, Linda's Pa with a different antibiotic, broken pellet stoves, crazy siblings, crazy mamas, sore shoulders and everything else... I love you guys and thanks for being there for me and everybody else! lovbob.
Wow - we have a "blizzard warning"! Unbelievable - yet can't help but keep hoping for a "snow day" from work!!!!! Sorry to hear there have been hurt feelings - guess our feelings are just too close to the surface sometimes that it gets hard to not take things personally. Christine - please keep that in mind - everyone here is here because they need a place to vent so don't take one person's venting as a personal thing. Please don't think you should leave or feel the need to go anonymous here. We're all here for each other because we're all in the same boat. Did someone say boat?????? Love you, Bobbie. None of us would be here without you! Hope you're feeling better. Think of all of us out here in snow and ice as you enjoy your boat time. Cheers to all - Kuli
Wow Jam, your husband did not want the other doctors of the ER to staple him because he did not trust them? This is not very encouraging for us who have to go to the hospitals!!!! Austin I'll try Carol Higgins Clark. Night everybody! Uneventful day, here
yep jim , need buy alot of toothbrushes and hide alot of things too , put a padlock on em :-) hope and pray she didnt use your hairbrush to clean the toliet with .
bad here ice every where . stay home and be safe . xoxo
Sorry I haven't been posting much lately, but I have been trying to keep up with everyone just the same. Luckily we won't have any ice here in SC. Please be careful and keep yourselves and loved ones safe and warm.
miz his head is too hard!!! lol He had a venous stasis ulcer on his inner left ankle for 5 yrs and took care of it himself. It was about the size of a silver dollar, open to the bone. Made me ill to look at it. He has horrible circulation and in the Fall of 2009 his left foot swelled so much that the skin on the underside of his toes "blew open". And the fool kept walking and working and he developed a pseudomonis infection which could have easily killed him. Well that's when I dug my heels in and said stop....and for once he agreed. Off work for 3 months with i.v. and I had to inject meds slowly over 20 min period twice a day plus change his bandages 3 times a day. Couple weeks after that started I hurt myself at work so it was really a blessing because I could take care of him better. Got him cleared up, but that ankle could open again real easy. It's especially hard walking the ER for 12 hours, so he's looking at retirement starting March 1st probably. Now that I've turned everyone's tummy, think I will find something to eat.........Hugz to all and please stay safe and warm.
Nope, hubby doesn't want anyone else touching him.....kind of funny like that.....I'm yelling at him that we need to go to ER and he's yelling back NOOOOOO........so I stapled him back together. Never done that before....but he explained how to do it and it actually looks pretty good. He took a good nap afterward and woke up and said he felt okay.....didn't even take any pain medication. Took 12 staples to close....that's a lot and without lidocaine to numb the skin.....gives me the shivers. Ice is getting thicker on surfaces.....upper deck is like a skating rink, having to put the doggies out the garage door. Snow tomorrow......maybe 18 inches. Has anyone read the book Sisters by Danielle Steel? I really enjoyed it. And the Diana Gabaldon series is terrific.
austin , u better just sit all night long , lay back read those books , crawl to the bathroom if u have to . dont want to risk it at this time of the storms . my sister said ur cat almost trip me 2 times ! i looked at louie and told him not to be doing that again . sis looked at me funny like he suppose understand what i said , lol well ahh she just gonna have to look around and make sure he s not at her feet . ok i better start fillin up buckets of waters , its been bothering me so i better go and do em . xoxo
Rossellamax Right now I am reading books by Mary Higgins Clark and her daughter Carol Higgins Clark Jam -so sorry about you hubby-did you say he put the stapples in himself-does he not trust the other ER doc's When my son almost cut off one of his fingers his ex wife who was his girlfriend at the time asked the surgeon how many of these operations he had done and he said a couple and she asked for someone who had done more than a couple then she really started bugging him and he said are you the wife she said no the girlfriend and he would not talk to her anymore-I fall so much and always since being a kid my son tells people I fall over the yellow line in the road. Now I keep an eye on my feet-tonight my feet got tangles in my yarn and if it was not for my cat playing with it I probably would have fallen-I have the lifeline necklace I had for my husband but feel too young to wear it or too proud-we are getting snow tonight and either snow or sleet tomorrow-wish we had a choice.
sucks scrapin ice off the windows and have to let it warm up real good too , ah well soon u ll be takin off unless the dont cancle ur flights :-( i sure hope not !
Yep, Linda. Got me a carton yesterday. And groceries, thank God. We're getting ice here. Ice predicted tomorrow and then lots of snow. Florida can't come soon enough. I feel bad saying that for all of you that can't go now. :( Hubby's gonna take me to work tomorrow. I doubt we'll have many customers but there is always the mail. I drove really slow coming home tonight. Had to scrape and scrape my car. I'm tired of it already. Sorry, I'm bitchin'. :D

I just got home from awhile ago and my car was covered with ice when I left work. More ice tonight and tomorrow and 6-10 inches of snow tomorrow night. Before they were saying 12-18 so I guess that's better. God I hate Winter.

What miz said!
Hey ssk have fun with the book! I like to hole up with the book. another very effective escape mechanism.
We should come up with the Venting Book Club.
If we called it the Grossed Out Book Club everybody would think we're reading medical textbooks.
Jam... you're good, no kidding.
OK... here's how scattered I am.
I'm shooting vid so in this case you follow the action. They just fired up the travel Lift that is still sitting over the boat so I'm thinking, cool, I'll get the shot where they're pulling away.
So I'm shooting away and I start to smell baked items. I'm thinking, man that smells good. I sure am hungry and I need to find that stuff.
Then it's oh ya, I put bagels in the toaster oven.
I got the shot tho.
I agree please: just roll with it y'all. For those that are wound a little tighter, just know we get it and we love ya and there it is. work whatever it is out and we'll see you then! it's ok.

Sorry I haven't been posting much lately, but I have been trying to keep up with everyone just the same. Luckily we won't have any ice here in SC. Please be careful and keep yourselves and loved ones safe and warm.
Take care dear friends,

I just got home from awhile ago and my car was covered with ice when I left work. More ice tonight and tomorrow and 6-10 inches of snow tomorrow night. Before they were saying 12-18 so I guess that's better. God I hate Winter.
