Merry Christmas, everyone! Rossella - we went to italy last summer - a week in Tuscany then Rome for three days. Can't do Rome in three days. But anyway, loved the country side and hope to get here some day.
I am on the east coast in the US. That's all I can say cause one of my siblings is sure to sue me when this ordeal is over with. Desperate for money where there is none. This site is my haven so I have to protect it so I can keep communicating. My Mom called tonight in desperation because my Dad, with dementia, woke up from a nap and started screaming obsenities and stuff to her. It's been many months that this goes on and she cannot for the life of her, separate the man from the disease. All I can do is listen and say, "just tell me when you can't take it anyomre." It's Christmas eve. She's worried about what he's going to where to mass tomorrow. Who gives a shit?? She just doesn't get it?
so sorry angie but i know he is feeling better now and i will lift you up tonite in prayer you take care and remember you were there when he needed you most love you and merry christmas elizabeth/truecolors
well everybody it is christmas eve it seems everybody is doing ok we had pleasent surprises for the holiday it seemed as if we were gona be all alone and i didnt even bother to worry about putting up decorations or a christmas tree with all the things that have happened this year
but i met you guys and things turned around
well some of you know about my little ? date? yes a little date we cuddled and watched football and talked and with all the cleaning i had done my back was really hurting and we danced alittle and i really needed to take something for pain and i did and i fell asleep and not just the meds but i was very relaxed and about 2:30AM i came home. had a nice time.
then found out that my children were not going out of town after all and so they were stopping by for christmas eve and
to beat all one of my brother and his family not only came by but spent last nite with us to make christmas ev like christmas morning the other bro was coming but was ill and did call several times today on the phone
then the best part my son who lives 2000 miles away who couldnt be here who sent me for christmas a camera for the computer and hook me up with skype to vido conference call he called with his dad and the house just rocked the kids my girls who hasnt seen their dad and the grandkids went nuts my mom enjoyed it and got to admit after over twenty years of divorse i wished he was here i stil love the fool' he is still their daddy
any way next is my birthday but the girls are keep are trying to deep the plans a secret so mybe what was a horrobile year will turn out ok
rip hope all turns out ok for you angie thinking bout yu linda h. i know u reading my mind bobbie cant wait to meet u and everybody ont day ted behave sskapei yes u need to put together a map rossell have a good x mas and get some rest christina28 tell huby to becareful out there and everybody else and any body nam i cant remember i am terible with names it take me forever to rmember names then you go and change your picture MERRY CHRISTMAS LUV YALL ELIZABETH patti if you find any good free men lik your send them my way lol
Thanks for telling us Rossella, Angie, we're so sorry for your loss. You are a good good daughter. love you Angie. call out to us if you need anything at all.
Merry Merry Christmas everybody! Christmas Eve has already been for me, it will be in a few hours for you. I hope you will spend it in the best possible way. Tenn, Italian Xmas is exactly like yours - with some differences in food. We eat fish on Xmas eve and turkey at Xmas, as we don't have Thanksgiving. The rest is the same: family, gifts, Xmas tree, Xmas songs... Lots of cakes Bobbie, I live in the country 50 miles from Rome, it is a very small and quiet village - some of the people who live here have been in Rome a very few times in their life!!!!!! So what happens in Rome does not get here. I think you were talking about the riots that the students are making because of the government's decisions about the university... There were no victims apart some wounded people, bumps and many shops and cars damaged. My nephews participate (without doing damages!) and I am not worried. It's not another '68, that's for sure! About the weather... It's very heavy in some parts of Italy with snow and rain, but, again, it does not affect us that much here. In Eastern Europe the situation is much worse and they are dying out of cold.. Anyway! I read on Facebook that Angie's daddy is gone. I don't know if you got to know it some other way... A Merry Merry Christmas to you and your dear ones, the dear ones who are still with you and the dear ones who are in Heaven!
(this is lil tenny speaking) Hey everyone, The yorkie is wearing X-mas dress with ruffles and a bow.Looks adorable.Chucking sticks from the stove and her ball around. Likes biting feet.
Bobbie, where have you been,we missed you? We're not wearing antlers,but we are wearing Santa hats.Gets in the way feeding animals though. Do you have lights on your boat? That would look really cool.
Have to get back to hauling wood up to the porch. -Lil Tenny P.S. I hope everyone is having a good Christmas : )
Kleenex. That constant, repetious stuff that seems to be in every senior's hands, pockets, waistband ....
Had a voice mail that a distant relative plans to drop by. Picky clean-freak house keeper. Turned up some lights & noticed white fuzz covering every surface & wafting in the living room!
Is this a ploy by the makers? Fluff it up to the point it disinegrates enough float & invade the sinuses which in turn causes the nose to drip requiring additional product?
Santa Sir easily uses 2 boxes a day ... LOUDLY. ***He has other fine qualities. Like his sense of humor! He's enjoyed this morning's comments. He & Ratzo Elf (in icon poto) send their Holiday Best! (sans bodily enhancement)
I think we really have something here with creative ideas & talents. I KNOW Deefer does! Those handpainted ornemants are amazing! Perfection Lady!
Be thinking crew ...with the internet & our connections ... not to mention the regions we cover! I like the map idea. Should be something AC has on the home page.
Also was thinking of an acronym for BOAT about 3 AM. "Better Off After This" hey ... it was 3 AM & I hadn't slept! Help me Crew!!!
Hi add my vote for Linda-she makes me feel ashamed of how I talked to the husband when he was alive-but he did deserve it when I an away my cat does bad thing -it is a poo thing-now he has three litter boxes we celebrated Christmas last night because my grandson was over and my son was off work. I just figured out how to find out where I left off with the post-it only took 3 years-most New Yorkers are smater than me thank goodness I am going to be a slug today and tomarrow-my son gave me a canlde that smells like the Maine woods-love it, Merry Christmas to all of you you are all the best Christmas gift a person could get.
Jsomebody- Block that damn email! It's junk email anyway. You have control over that. I think we all get frustrated sometimes because of things happening to the people we are caring for, or even oursleves, that we DON'T have control of. But you do have control of your inbox. So block it, baby!!
That's only because I hurled yesterday morning over something non related. Learned again all about red wine and why I haven't had any in 30 years. I found myself in the bed unside down with the Cat on my head. I'm allergic to the stuff. I'm also an idiot. I'm thinking, Why not? Let's see if I outgrew it. Nope. Still allergic.
I think the gross out "gift baskets" could be a popular item this season. Maybe bobbie could produce a commercial to sell them, who would like to star in it? Jen?

Bobbie,

We're not wearing antlers,but we are wearing Santa hats.Gets in the way feeding animals though.
Do you have lights on your boat? That would look really cool.
Have to get back to hauling wood up to the porch.

That's only because I hurled yesterday morning over something non related.
Learned again all about red wine and why I haven't had any in 30 years. I found myself in the bed unside down with the Cat on my head. I'm allergic to the stuff.
I'm also an idiot.
I'm thinking, Why not? Let's see if I outgrew it.
Nope. Still allergic.
The Cat was amazed.
