The problem is her worshipfullness, queen mommy dearest either because if SIL was down here for several days without being there for her mother's beckon call or if my wife went up there it would be impossible to have hardly anytime together without the 'wicked witch of the west." We live 3 1/2 hour drive from them. It is too bad that my SIL moved back to where her mother lived and worse that at a point where she and her husband did not have to be there, not pick somewhere else to live. My wife has been told my her therapist to never live very close to her mother ever given the damage she did to her. Generally speaking, my wife gets to see her sister on Thanksgiving, Christmas and in June for a series of meeting that SIL and I attend in another town.
Crowe, I don't know the reason why your wife never meets her twin sister, but I just wonder (knowing that twin sisters/brothers generally mean a lot to each other, and if they are identical the bond is even stronger): would't be nice if they met more often? Don't answer if you don't want to. Bobbie, I am glad I have shared with you one of the highest pleasures in my life. Squeezing cats is an art that you have to learn gradually, in order not to transform your cats into soles (those flat fishes)
The first night my wife went in the mental ward of the hospital, Thursday, I was only able to sleep 4 hours. Friday night, I got about 5 hours of sleep. Last night I got around 9-10 hours of sleep and still feel very drained. She's resisting one medicine change, lamictal, until she can see the for real psychiatrist on Monday plus get her own psychiatrist's input for her GP MD told her a few months ago that her body may have reached a toxic level with the symptoms she was having. I can tell she's confused for she talks about coming home the middle of next week but that on Friday they might take her to see her neurologist for that appt. she already has. I think what will happen is that she might get out on Wed. of Thanksgiving week. I don't know yet what that will mean for Thanksgiving for visiting her mother inflicts much stress although that is one of the few times that she can see her identical twin sister.
I'm waiting to hear from the CPA next week when I can pick up my mom and step-dad's 2009 tax return.
I guess my system has down geared so low that the tiredness that I've been carrying is overwhelming. I need more sleep and I can get more sleep. I called a very good friend of mine and our family on Thursday to please give me a call back. When they called back, they said that I sounded so pitiful that they made sure to call me back once they checked their cell phone messages. We had a good conversation. I had no idea that I sounded that bad off. They are very knowledgeable of my wife's hospitalizations because they helped the rest of us survive those hellish years of one hospitalization after another from 2000-2002.
On behalf of the Grossed Out Thread, we would like to declare you a winner!! Squeezing the cat to give the fart a sniff is 5 star stuff!! Boat time for you! Beans for the Cat! Cap'n sleeping on foredeck.
Hi, I didn't write tonight because I had to work and finish a translation soon. I am not in jail yet! Bobbie, of course the cats fart! My cats make wonderful farts. They have such a good smell that I squeeze their belly so that they release them and I can sniff them. Yes I know I am a perverted. I don't translate "deadliest catch" in particular, but many documentary for Discovery and also documentaries about fishing. Thanks to you and to everyone who is worried for me; it is a hard stuff I am facing, but in cases like this you must not lose your head, so you don't lose it. My brother is coming here this morning and we'll talk about it a little. Linda dear I think you were talking about "lasagna". it is much simpler than what you wrote!!! You have an Italian friend. I can give you all these information. Cannelloni, parmigiana, tiramisù....
Worry, worry, worry ... I know that feeling! Sleep when you can ... if you can!
Hoping you have some nice dreams, Ted. Sometimes it's our only escape .... if you're able to experience a pleasant dream. May the sweet dreams be with you!
If not ~ you can complain to us. (or me ... but I think the crew agrees)
Oh, I think I need to sleep. Lately my brain has been stuck in a rut I can't seem to break, just worry, worry, worry. Sorry i haven't been much fun lately. G'night.
hey Ted! I've heard about SunDowners syndrome. What a pain! Lawrence was a simple surprize!
How are you? I keep thinking about the animal rescue stuff. I ache for the many animals who don't have people - & the aging people who don't have animals.
YO Bobbie & SeaCat!!! Dragging my ass outta illness stinks! Keep thinking I'm back - then WHAM! Cough, hack, choke, gag ... hate it! Especailly the weakness! The cats work the keyboard better than me!
So Bobbie ~ You noticed you are responsible for over 5,500 posts. Take a bow!!! Thank YOU! Took your humor & gut response to hook us all together. I don't know if you realize how many people you have brought together ... one day when you venture into Face Book ...
We talk about you all the time!!! Huh , ladies? Actually, I think your absence might be fodder for a good book. We can use our imaginations about Bobbie's "undisclosed" location.
Hope things are good in Florida. Glad the SeaCat has you on your toes. They don't let up - even when you're sick! *ssHoles. Gotta love their adoration! They need food! No matter how sick you are! Like parents! Ah ... Care Giving ... It will be recognized somedday.
Rip, I came across the PBS Lawrence Welk thing a few months ago, Mom loves it sometimes (sings all the wrong words, etc.) and sometimes doesn't even seem to recognize it. those are usually the nights I can expect some heavy sundowners stuff.
Hi June ~ Yes it is quiet! Change of season? Very cold here. Neighbors are hiding inside ~ smoke coming from their chimneys.
Seems many people here are fighting the same flu bug that has attacked me the last couple of weeks. I feel confident I can't share it online. It's awful!
Miz ~ take a deep breath ~ look him in the eye. Maybe he is perfect? Ask him? You'll find out.
I hope your employer has your back. You don't deserve crap at work. I'd send his ass outta my business if he messed with you or any employee. No amount of money is worth being harrassed or humbled.
Where is everybody tonight out shopping for the early sales it is so quiet here this has not happened before since Bobbie started this Bobbie where are you?
The thing is with that customer, he comes in ALL THE TIME and so I will have to deal with him again. Possibly Monday. :( Hopefully he'll start going in the mornings when I am not there.
Rosella of course I am not that old but Thanksgiving and Christmas were days for thinking of the real meaning of those times and everyone was not so hassled and trying to get the perfect gift for everyone and shopping until we droped since I am so poor with trying to get his debts paid I just can not go out to stores or malls and it is kind of neat I feel freer this year. We are having Indian summer here in the northeast even have windows open. I hope all of you who are having more problems than usuall that God gives you all an extra measure of strength today.
j . i know it doesnt seem fair that the good ones is always the first to go and leave the worst one behind , i just dont get it . you can still talk to gma . i know she hears ya . she may not be able to do anything u ask but u can feel the comfert by talkin to her . i talk to my mom all the time . yes bobbie ! we wanna go watch that shuttle lanuch ! it would be so awesome ! let us know if u did get to see it go off . hubby s home from work and wants to go split wood . woo lovely , its dark and gloomey and very windy out , not too cold so thats one good thing , made a homemade lasnuagana how ya spell that , think i went overboard spelling lalala , anyway cant wait to eat em up ! lotta cheese in em and sauce and cottage cheese and piled it with onions . red one , mmmm . ya all have a happy saturday ! xoxox
Whoa, a shuttle launch. I wish I could be there for that. Seriously cool, and numbered...
Miz you have a right to be treated with respect at all times!!! I have no life but I am always very polite...Please and Thank You and not making others jobs harder by being a pain in the arse! You didn't hit him or call him a jerk, he was out of line...and I bet he doesn't think twice about it. The world is over run with people like that.
Ramp, non issue till Monday. Then I don't care, MAY BE SNOW ON IT BY THEN. NOT MY PROBLEM...
Grandpa went o ADH, had a good time, came home showed his Bingo win, a stuffed Goofy toy (appropriate) and talked to mom for an hour over stuff...Yeah, it aint killing him! We made A LOT OF ADJUSTMENTS TO OUR IVES IN HAVING HIM HERE!!! He can go two days week and do exercises and watch movies and get lunch and health checks... Anybody else watched Oklahoma last night? One of my fav's letter boxed even...I just tried to block out his warbling bits of songs he remembers and looking over at me twitching and making sicko moaning noises and rubbing his hands together when any kissing scenes come on...God just end this...Hell Kill me, it doesn't mater. I wanted to talk to grandma so bad I was crying last night. Why didn't HE GO FIRST!
bobbie321, SWOE and its workbook are great, but what I'm reading is directly tied into my issues with my mom when i was a child and a teenager which I'm now dealing with.

Linda dear I think you were talking about "lasagna". it is much simpler than what you wrote!!! You have an Italian friend. I can give you all these information. Cannelloni, parmigiana, tiramisù....
Everyone KNOWS we ignore such things!
Most cats hide it. Embarassing if they don't.
Sure she isn't male?
Cat is sprawled out over a macrobiotic cookbook.
I think the cat farts. Anybody know about this?
