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.
My father does that and it is really annoying.
Meanwhile,somehow my mother got pink eye.
Katie, I'm hoping you can relax. I hate crisis mode too. Last winter it seemed I was doing triage all season (like, what's the next thing to do to keep all of us alive.)Husband is still housebound, as well as my aunt, but the last actual crisis was on Thanksgiving. Mon. the dog needed the vet. When we're nearing burnout, it seems every little thing annoys me. Today, my whine of the day, I should have gone to the local variety store for milk. At last minute I went out to find I'd forgotten all about the car being covered in thick ice from yesterday. No time to get it heated and scraped before store closed. Darn, no morning coffee with milk tomorrow. Not a big whine, it just is real.
My Mother: "Go to the kitchen, get a cup, open the fridge, get some water from the stainless jug, wait I am still talking, fill the glass up to three fingers to the top, close the fridge, be sure it's really closed and bring the glass to me."
A microscopic peeve, but a bit annoying depending of the situation.
We're not trying to reach ad quotas, nor give you all headaches. The top right ad is misbehaving on profile pages and I've reported the bug to tech. Thanks for your reports!
Google to the rescue, sort of...
We start with 100 eyes and we make 10 lines of passage
with a pattern and then on the next line, which is already smooth
line 2, the first 2 eyes are smoothly connected. So 99
we are working with our eyes (Table 1). Through the
we work on the color of work.
We begin to consume at a height of 27 cm. The 1.
around every 5th and 6th eyes smoothly. THE
in the next round, eyes 2 and 3 after the fold
smoothly connected. In the next round every pin
and the next one
we consume it from the eyes of the 8 soports on the needle
we always connect the last 2 eyes. Repeat this
5 consecutive rows, then the remaining on the needle
eyes are crimped with a crochet needle and cut.
Perhaps I will make a different hat just for now.
dang thing got stuck on the bag next to it
such decisions
give up or put more money in the machine ?
after nudging it to no avail, I put more money in - then two bags are stuck
I left with 3 bags of Fritos and 1 crunchy Cheetos
Hubs has a not so nice marketing theory about meeting advertising quotas, but I thank my lucky stars I know nothing about that, and do not want to know!
Finally, something I am not interested in. I was getting worried.
But please, stop! It appears the page is also refreshing itself.
Bye.
Sleep well CM! Don't have nightmares of pillboxes and sunflowers if you can.
Pot is legal where I live. Justin Trudeau, our illustrious Prime Minister legalized it a few months ago. Now all the illegal pot places all have to shut down and get government licenses. I don't know if it's related or not but it seems to me I hear more and more of people driving their cars into bldgs. Hmmm, could there be a connection? As if cops didn't have enough to do looking for alcohol impaired drivers. I personally can't stand being around people who do either.
Is this the whine thread? Ah yes it is. I had to scroll up to look. My whine is one of my cats has an ear infection. I have to put drops in twice a day and now every time I approach him he looks suspicious and tries to hide. Sigh!
Oh, my car also has a rattle. Is there an epidemic? The rattle isn't all the time, but when it starts you feel like the whole transmission is going to be laying on the roadway. Have no idea where that noise is coming from. I do remember many decades ago, there use to be two mechanics that had a radio show.... someone called in saying the car had an annoying rattle.... one mechanic recommended turning up the radio :)
You are not alone. Not alone with it hapening this way just for you. And not alone because of everyone here. I pm'd you.
Thank you for your comments on the car noise.
Gershun,
The stare....one could almost see the wheels of his brain turning. Not a deer in the headlights stare, not even a spacey drug-like stare. I am used to waiting a long time for dH to formulate an answer, but this was a long time so I filled in the blanks for him (our name, our car, where'd you put it?) The mechanics son works there, so I am not planning any interventions. I already brought it up that he needs to see a doctor, that was bold enough for an almost stranger.
I had a banging noise in my car though it was only a couple years old...mechanic could not find it. It finally went away. I think a bolt was loose and it just fell out in the trunk area.
Some of the staring and dunderheadedness I see even in young people I think comes from too much staring at screens and phones, and then there is the pot smoking that they want legal. Then they wonder why traffic accidents are up. Funny that when people are young they want to drink or smoke pot to dull the senses, then when we are older we look for supplements that sharpen the brain. Humans......!
Did he have a piece of straw in his mouth? Did you say "what do ya know Jim?" and did he respond? "Don't know much more today than I knew yesterday"
In fact less probably. Right Send.
I don't know if hubs neck got worse helping me up, or from installing a new bolt.
I also removed the jack, and e v e r y t h i n g o u t of the trunk.
Mechanic says to drive it a few months, see if it gets worse or louder.
You all are going to think I am the crazy one for crawling underneath the car today.
Hubs has been in bed after today....he has a muscle spasm in his neck. It was too difficult trying to pack up the Christmas decorations, taken down 1/5, the box left outside in the rain.
The cowboy song goes: "Beer is good, and people are. c r a z y ".
The car mechanic, has a definite cognitive decline, the 1000 mile stare, at only age 61, forgets that he had our car today, saying he doesn't have a car like ours, after dropping it off. Says he doesn't have a doctor, and hasn't been for 12 years.
A stranger, but I am sure he needs to he seen.
Boundaries up!
Golden, be careful when you do things on autopilot too. Something as simple as emptying a dishwasher could come back and bite you in the tush. My Hubs is an aircraft engineer for commercial airlines. The pilots and the engineers have to take something called "Human Factor Training" It's to prevent things that are caused by fatigue or doing things that have become second nature to you without thinking about it. Thus the expression "autopilot" when describing emptying dishwashers etc. It's when you think you have it down so well that you don't think about it is when the accidents happen. You take care!
kristilynn - crockpot meals sound good. I got an electric pressure cooker and love it.
gershun, I can identify with mother wanting to have things perfect. In our home when someone stood up from the sofa mother plumped up the cushions. Things had to be right for her visually. She was more relaxed as she got older.
katie - glad your hub is OK. With the noise and all you haven't had a good winter have you?
My whine for today is the combination of brain fog and blurry eyes. Between the two I don't even open business mail till I am sharper. I don't feel safe driving like this. I can do routine things like filling and emptying the dishwasher, on autopilot, as it were. It is after 2:30 pm and I am waiting for it to wear off as I have to go out for a 3:45 appointment. And it is minus 4 F which doesn't help. Waaaa!
