It is a good thing that Cwillie started a discussion about the flu.
The flu is serious, in 1969 I had the Hong Cong flu.
The timing is right. November/December.
Apologies for the silliness.
Here is some more: (silliness).

Then, another kind of flu is the Blue Flu.
A blue flu is a type of strike action undertaken by police officers in which a large number simultaneously use sick leave, without being sick.

If I were to become serious, I would have to explain that 3 nights ago my Dh did have an episode (gasping/unable to awaken), but included the fact that once he was awake he pretended to still be asleep, and the spasm in his stomach was not a seizure, he was holding back laughing. I asked him this morning, figuring it out 3 days later.

I have been gaslighted.

It may be too late to save my sanity.

Yes, the forum appears quiet to me on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of every month, when people are traditionally paying bills, Polarbear.

Tweety had some spinach last night.
He is peeing and pooping like he might have the bird flu.
But this is maybe something gastrointestinal, and not serious,
not really the flu.

Maybe it does not really matter what we call anything anymore. I live with a husband who now corrects e v e r y t h i n g I say, playing the semantics game to distract from the real issue at hand. He will interrupt 2-3 words into my talking with a correction. Oh, and I can no longer safely say the word "fun" without him going into a "rant" on the base meaning of fun.

Truth, life is no longer fun and I am desperately seeking to find something that is truth. Hoping this mood will pass by soon. It is our 22nd anniversary this month.

Oh Send 😖

I allow my pedantic DH one sentence correction per story - he being a grammar lover (& we both agree probably Asperger's). But any more & I shut down & stop the story.

This of course frustrates me more than him 😡.
Grammar corrections while someone is speaking is my Pet Hate #1

My Pet Hate #2 is people calling every tiny sniffle The Flu.

So here I am being grammarly intolerant! 😂. Oops!

I have had influenza & was VERY ILL. No tests for strains were available then. But now when someone has a tiny sniffle, watery eyes, or typical cold symptoms I CAN ask. , The 'flu'? Have you been diagnosed with influenza then? What strain? Oh you haven't actually got influenza? I see. Good. Coz that is a very serious illness.

I have had this exchange with the same co-worker SO many times... With a family member too.

I need to work on IGNORING their bad use of the word.. for MY sanity 😁

DD's physician's assistant finally called in her antibiotic after two days! So frustrating. DH finally got an upcoming appointment with his doctor. Late last night I had to give him two tummy drops for nausea.

Granddaughters took me to the beauty salon today. I had my hair trimmed, facial, manicure and pedicure. After beauty shop, we had a late lunch at a local place. I'm worn out, early to bed. Dialysis at 5:30am.

Thanks Beatty for commiserating.
Since I know dH will interrupt, maybe I should just stop talking all together and avoid the fight.

Someone cuts you off in traffic. Shout "F you covid!"

I had my stepson take me to the cemetery today. I wanted to go before the snow cover. Really sad this evening. Hard to go there and see how many have passed - family, friends and co-workers. I ran into a couple of people who were there for the same reason - trying to beat the snow. The ground is getting totally frozen. Friend that owns the funeral home said they'll probably quit digging graves before Thanksgiving - start putting bodies in storage. I hate that. I'm so glad that none of our family died in the winter. I've told my son and stepsons to have me cremated if it's winter. Sad.

My grandson swears Covid ruined his basketball scholarship chances. He lost his sophomore and Junior seasons because they didn't play basketball in his school district because of Covid. He's playing this year as a senior, but he says college scouts aren't coming to his district because everybody missed two years. His solution is to go to a junior college to play and hope that he gets picked by a big 4 year school. So Covid can be blamed for a lot. He has the advantage of high SAT's and excellent grades.

Becky: My mother passed away in late January of 2014 and resided in Mass. 3 miles from the New Hampshire state line. The grave was opened with no issue and actually hadn't been disturbed since 1967 when my father died. Maine has to be considerably colder.

Sorry Becky, did not mean to gloss over your sad graveside visit today with my silliness. I know those days can be hard.

My mom was cremated and we had a bench dedicated to her at her favorite park. That's where I go to pay my respects.

I'm back in the hospital. I have to have a fem-pop bypass surgery later today. Shouldn't be here too long. Headed to dialysis then surgery. More fun than anyone deserves.

In reference to the post complaining about AL tip requests…

FIL had his Nice Restaurant Birthday yesterday. We were a party of six, so surcharge of not just 18 percent but 3 percent more for, uh, inflation. The food was inferior to that which so’s facility serves in their “cruise ship” mentality in their Club Dining Room, which residents pay for individually.

That was about $70 in compelled gratuities for one meal outside. As opposed to the 3 bucks a day that his facility is asking, not directing, residents to donate. Up to them, entirely voluntary.

Becky, is that a result of the injury when you fell? Or is it why you didn't heal as planned?

Prayers this goes well and the revolving hospital door is shutdown for you.

I wondered if some of this was a result of getting bonked on the head by the 2x4 a few years ago when the just opened clinic was closing.
