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.
But somehow I doubt that is what you really wanted to know sp19690.
sending lots of warm encouraging hugs to you!!
i wonder...
mayyybe some of them - are - actually waiting for the elderly parents to die.
(i'm talking about elderly parents who're doing ok. i'm not talking about elderly parents who're in pain, towards the end, and for compassionate reasons you might think maybe they prefer to die).
i say this, because it's very weird how some of these bad siblings don't say, "thanks helping-sibling!! thank goodness you saved the situation! another emergency, you saved their life! i'm so relieved they're alive!!"
(please understand, a non-helping sibling might have hundreds of reasons why they don't show appreciation --- or why they don't express enthusiasm when their parents' lives are saved).
i'm saying that - some non-helping siblings - might be waiting for the elderly parents to die. in other words, no wonder they don't show appreciation or enthusiasm.
i like being called "bundle" :).
or "bundle of joy" :).
it makes me smile every time.
i'm getting so used to it (i only use this name, here on the website) --- that now several times, while writing to my family/friends, i almost signed off, bundle of joy :). haha.
wishing us all a great day today!! :)
over here snow everywhere. i'll now roll down the hill into town.
Geaton, it's a shame about the guy from your church.
Just an aside: My friend's mom with scleroderma died when I was 3 years out of high school -- 1996. It was bugging me because I remember her saying that she had already lived past her expectancy, and this was when I was a kid. She was 43 when she passed. She was obviously disfigured when she was 30-35yo, when I was closest with her. She had to drive with gloves on her round hands because they couldn't grab the steering wheel. She was an important person and figure in my young life. Golden, agree she was a good example of not letting disability or life expectancy get you down.
Just procrastinating here with this post and share. AC and memories of my cheer coach are much more fun right now than doing this durn school assignment. x
ali -what a great example that gal was.
I'm glad you're going to be near your son, although I know you'll miss Maine.
You postive attitude is an inspiration to me.
I am sorry to hear about your assistant.
I've read some things about the particularly bad covid illness that happens in people with autoimmune diseases, and also how covid causes autoimmune conditions in people who weren't dx'd autoimmune before covid. Any increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines when there is already a long-term heightened immune response seems really detrimental. Rest easy, fun assistant. Thanks for remembering her here.
She worked, in theory, until December 2020. She had nearly six months of PTO in her account that she used the last half of 2020. She then retired. She was great, a wonderful assistant and fun. She had been in that department for 15 years or so.
My stepsons have bought my property in Maine. They wanted me to stay in Maine but they understand about my son and grandkids wanting me where they live. So a big adventure ahead.
they're just a little overweight,
their high blood pressure is under control,
they've been able to mange their type two diabetes,
they've smoked so long they don't even consider that a health problem,
and a big one most people miss, they are over 60.
happy chinese new year today!!! :) :) :)
1 february 2022 :).
year of the tiger.
that means year of strength, bravery and miracles! :) :)

bundle of joy :)
