I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
I love Edwina for a brat name!!! Very fitting!
Way,
That’s true! Some are sweet. I love certain old names, Amelia is so pretty! Lots of other ones are too.
I got cataract surgery and can see again! LOL 😆
I wore glasses for years! The other day a friend of mine said, “Why haven’t I noticed how blue your eyes are?” I hadn’t seen her in awhile. I said, “Take a good look at my face. What’s different?”
She stared and stared. I finally had to tell her, “No more glasses!” Then she said, “That’s it! Did you get contacts?” I said, “No, I got cataract surgery.”
Way, I'm pretty good about checking pockets and sleeves before the laundry. It doesn't take too many loads spattered with bits of Kleenex to make a lasting impression,
I looked at my sofa the other day and saw a couple of Kleenexes on the cushions and said to myself, "An old person lives here!" Sometimes they drop out of the sleeves.
I’m not there yet , my cataracts are newish , not bad enough the doc said to do them yet.
It was just wrong that I wore glasses and my mother didn’t (after her cataract surgery ) .
Here's what I read:
"People justify to themselves the things they do in all sorts of ways…and the sh***ttier the person is, they less they feel the need to do so."
**Edit: I mean deathbed apologies from narcs; nasty, abusive people.
My sweet dad apologized for everything that he ever felt that he did wrong a short time before he died.
Of course, I told him that no apologies were in order. He really did want to make sure that he squared everything away before he died.
He was the opposite of my husband’s grandmother who wrote hate letters to everyone that she knew before she died!
Hold on, I don't mean apologies from sweet people. I meant, apologies from people who really should apologize for major things, and it's long overdue. I'll edit my message below.
Here’s the thing. The one in my right eye was a normal cataract from aging. It could have waited.
The one is my left eye was a different type that was rapidly robbing me of my vision.
So, my doctor said to have it done. I couldn’t even see the big E with my left eye. I was able to see some light but nothing else.
After I had it done, I was blown away. The doctor said that I am an exception to the general population who has cataracts removed. I have 20/20 vision and don’t need reading glasses. Most people still need glasses for reading.
I knew how you meant it. I just wanted to share about my dad. It still touches my heart. He died many years ago, in 2002.
Yes, and guess how long it took to do the surgery? About 15 minutes for both eyes.
It is the quickest and easiest surgery that I have ever had!
My anesthesiologist said, “Hey, do you like music?” I said, “Yes, I do!” He said that he was going to play music for me and by time that the third song was over they would be just about done! He was right!
I told my ophthalmologist that she worked magic on me!
My husband says that we should own stock in Kleenex!
Problem: I have about 3 whine moments, every minute. That makes for a lot of moments in one full day. Maybe I belong in another thread :(.
Hopefully I can still hang around in this thread ;).
Am I going to get rich now?
I am guilty of that too! I use too many paper towels.
My neighbor hosted a student from France in her home. He freaked out when he saw the amount of paper towels that her family used. He asked her for old towels. She gave him some and he cut them up for them to use in place of the paper towels. They did it. They made the switch.
He was a sweet kid. My friend only had a couple of issues with her foreign exchange student living in her home. Her daughter fell in love with the guy! She adored his French accent. Plus, she had to tell him that he couldn’t walk out of his room in his underwear! They are more relaxed about that stuff in France but she didn’t want her daughter staring at him.
I don’t let the same one hang around too long . I use prob two dish towels per meal .
I’m amazed at the amount of trash that we accumulate for just two people! Everything comes in too much packaging.
Need, nice to hear you think my elder daughter’s name is pretty.
Thanks for the tip!
I have always thought that Amelia was a really beautiful, elegant name!
Hmmmm, I may try that too.
This happened to me awhile ago when my oldest daughter told me what the youngest daughter did. My oldest daughter was in on the whole thing so she wasn’t exactly innocent either.
She was laughing when she told me the story. I spoke to my younger daughter about it and she didn’t know how to respond! I think she may have been upset that her sister ratted her out all these years later. Then she laughed about it too.
When my kids were young I worked weekends in the hospital or nursing home . Apparently Dad was a bit lax with the rules .
Among other things , They played hockey in the kitchen and the dishwasher was the goal . That explains all the dents in it.
It’s funny I was more strict than DH when the kids were young. Then we flipped when they were teenagers .
Oh, yeah! That happens too. Daddy’s little girls. Dads sometime allow them to do things that we didn’t!!
I was upset when my daughter told me, but I got over it.
My oldest daughter was already living on her own. My youngest one was at home, still and in high school. She was a very good student, dance team, volunteer with helping special ed kids, the whole bit.
Anyway, apparently she went to a party where some kids were drinking. The cops were called because they were too loud.
My daughter panicked when the police said they were going to call their parents. My daughter gave the police her sister’s phone number!
When the policeman announced that he was calling about my younger daughter, my oldest daughter pretended to be me.
She told the police that she had never been in trouble before and she was a very good student and that this was totally out of character for her.
Then she asked the police to please send her home right away and she would be grounded!
The cop sent her home. My younger daughter got in her car and drove home. I didn’t know anything at all about the entire incident until recently!
I’m still puzzled why she told me all of this years later!
She was a terrible cook but you had to eat her food. She had this dish she made often which was corned beef jello or aspic. My husband and I could not get that down so we did our best and mashed it around the plate and found a lettuce leaf anything to hide it under.
That dish sounds totally disgusting 🤮! Yuck!!!
