Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
How many times do I have to hit the hide indefinitely button before he gets the hint?
It kind of reminds me of when I was in high school and a guy would ask me out that I didn’t want to go out with.
I was young and gave him a lame excuse. I said that I couldn’t go out Friday night because I was going to wash my hair! 😂
So, he says, “What about Saturday night?” I couldn’t think of a comeback and I said that I would be washing my hair on Saturday night too! LOL
So then, he says, “You must really like extra clean hair.” I said, ‘Oh yes! I do!’ He finally got the hint.
The reason why I said that eating out might be just as cheap as cooking at home is because I can never finish eating the large restaurant portions of food.
I always ask for a box for the leftovers. Especially pasta dishes. I can get two or three meals from one restaurant sized portion. Chinese food is the same way. Loads of leftovers!
I split sushi rolls with friends. I never eat leftover sushi 🍣. That’s gross 🤮. Sushi has to be eaten fresh!
My days of last minute living is coming to an end.
Re-ordered early this morning. The same delivery guy is shopping for us.
Bear-claws are coming soon!
Anyone else find that when caregiving elders, they must have everything now?
That's not me, yet!
A neighbor's T.V. doesn't work (for her), so she goes running to her neighbor to fix it, now, as if it is an emergency. As if a 70+ y.o. is on-duty T.V. repair for a 90+ y.o. neighbor. The word is: Well, she's moving soon. Not a solution imo.
Worried for both neighbors.
Enjoy your bear claws! 😊
I hope you get your wish soon.
You’re welcome.
I have been in your shoes! I took care of my parents for a very long time.
Caregiving is the toughest job ever!
((((Hug))))
“My brothers do little to nothing and are totally fine with letting me carry this burden.”
I want to beat up your brothers.
“it's like experiencing my abusive childhood all over again”
ME TOO.
Empathy ((((hug))))
“I don't think this will end until she dies.”
I agree. Unless one totally walks away…calls APS…lets the State take over…
Even if your mom goes to a facility, you’ll probably help with problems.
“Maybe then I will find some peace.”
Please find a way to get your freedom already now. Not one minute more of abuse. Easier said than done, because abusers never stop, and kind people (you) keep wanting to help.
I’ve read lots of experiences from abused daughters who helped their moms. Indeed, they only got freedom/peace after the mom died. Finally free from the oppression, for the first time since they were born. But by then, they’re already a lot older :(.

Okay now. Thanks.
The storm (Hilary)has left our area.
Our experience was heavy prolonged rain, very little wind. No damage.
Thank you to the very special people who reached out to me! 💖
My sympathy goes out to anyone affected by the storm.
It does not hurt to carefully be prepared for disasters, but mediate that, don't empty the stores and hoard, and don't spend too much preparing. imo.
The word I am thinking of for the news outlets is B.S.
I would like to issue a red flag alert to people in general with regards to impending disasters. Whenever you hear "First time ever!", "Hasn't happened in 80+ years", "Worst ever!", your B.S. barometer should be on. Hopefully you have kept the batteries charged all these many years. 🚩🚩🚩🚩

He's having a CAT scan of his kidneys and pelvis tomorrow to see if there's a stone (he's had uretal stones and 'gravel' in the past, so his PCP thinks that's what this is.)
This site is so great for venting!
Hope everything will be okay with your husband. My husband gets kidney stones. My oldest daughter gets them too. They are painful. Sometimes they do require going to the hospital.
