Way, for my son it was Star Wars LEGO. I find myself tempted by the architectural series, like FLW’s Robie House and Fallingwater.

I couldn’t post earlier today. This site is certainly temperamental!

After raising 3 sons I still have a coffin-sized tub of Legos in my home. I told my boys when we retire and need money I'm gonna sell them by the pound. I also still have a tub of Beanie Babies... most still have the tags. Gonna pay my future AL rent with those.

Geaton, I saw TV ads for Lego. They came out with new designs and new pieces. You probably can still make some good money on your old Lego pieces, but don't wait too long. As for your beanie babies, it's too late. No one buys them anymore. Maybe Goodwill would take them, maybe not.

Oh boy ! Waiting for the “fall call”.
Last week FIL walking bad with walker but ate his dinner when we took him out .
Tonight walking worse and did not eat much . He says he has no appetite . Says he feels ok . Checked the fridge and he’s not even eating his favorite chocolate donuts . which is telling . Also noticed bruises on arms . He’s catching himself from falling by leaning up against the wall when he starts to fall.

Way,

Sorry that your FIL is having a tough time. It’s really hard to see our loved ones doing poorly.

Golden, Llama, Need,
Thanks , The very slow decline of FIL over the past year is painful to watch . It’s very similar to my mother’s decline 4 years ago .

(((((Way)))) Decline is painful to watch, no matter how difficult the person is. I hated seeing my mother go downhill. She had been so independent and active. The "shell" of her in a wheel chair was very hard to see. I understand that it is triggering thoughts of your mother. That makes it doubly hard, as you relive the losses of the past to an extent. more (((((hugs))))

This is just a vent. Please I don't want any advice or solutions.

I'm feeling depressed today. I have a lot to do, I'm so behind. Work is a disaster. My Mom is doing great thanks to me. I have all the time in the world now. But I'm so very behind with my work. I need to be more efficient, or maybe just smarter in how I get my work done.

Old,

Benjamin Button is a great movie! It was filmed in my city.

Sure, ditto from me! Where is the time machine that we can step into?

I really do hate my autocorrect. I proofread, no issues. So, I click post, assuming that it will post what it says. No chance of that happening! LOL 😆

My autocorrect is possessed by a demon! It types whatever it pleases. If I don’t catch the crazy thing it types, then I look dumb typing from my smartphone. 🤣

@need thank you! :) lol! talking of time machines.. reminds me of one of my fav movies, "Back to the future." and I need to watch the movie with "The Fox" in it, about himself, it's called "Still." That's Michael J Fox, "The fox is back!"

For a long time I thought he was American then I found out he is Canadian. I also loved Family Ties back in the day, a classic, a time when sitcoms were great. I think I'm whine free today, I'll see tomorrow :)

oldage,

Love Back to the Future and Family Ties.

I love Sci-fi and it is fun to imagine getting into a time machine. Not sure how far back I would go. If I were younger I’d choose to go forward! Imagine what the world will be like in say 100 years or so!

Okay, forget self driving cars. I want the transporter like they had on Star Trek! That would be the ultimate way to travel.

I hate being gaslighted by my mother. She told me nastily that I had her medical receipts. Long story but it ended okay and I have what I need to supply to the attorney for her Medicaid application. I can’t wait until June 12th to go home to my life. I cannot stand being around her.

Heres hoping for some positive changes as far as her living situation goes. I don’t want to be in this house anymore. I’m done.

I'm still in the middle of solving that sudden, big problem. My elderly sister needs more help.

My cloud and I continue to do things together. Yesterday we went to the cinema together. I had no idea my cloud would like a movie about a storm. Impossible to guess.

DH on a work trip , he called his Dad ( in AL). Then DH called me to say his Dad sounded “off”. I told him he’s been having those days on and off …..dementia remember ?? I asked if he wanted me to go check on him. He said No. Then I decided I should probably order more pull ups for the man while I was thinking of it. I ordered them, put my laptop down, then thought to myself , did I jinx him by ordering a case ? FYI unopened bags of them are returnable ….I found out after my Mom passed. (She had a new case of them too ). 😬😬😬

Way,

Nah, not a jinx. It’s better to have them. My mom always liked having extra of everything.

Been up since 2 am worrying about my parents’ plethora of issues. It all just keeps going through my head. At 2 am things just also seem worse, I’d give anything for a good nights sleep. I am mentally exhausted.
