Ever just want to tear your hair out, or someone else's? If you cannot restore a sense of balance, you will run away from home? Just want to say some things without the constraints of staying on topic? Well, this thread is for you! If you just need a short break to let it all hang out, be a brat, then come on, you can do it. No holding back! Go for it, you can do it.
I am a couple hours away from Houston but that win will be a lift for them.
Thanks everyone for being so kind.
Dodgers behaving badly.
Just came in today to the animal shelter. Muddy on chest, big paws sore, whined, but would not take a cookie, misses it's owners.
He is kind of reddish, with white nose, red freckles, if you look closely. Maybe he would make a good cattle dog at age 2.
He was just so heartbroken.
L.A. County Animal Control, Castaic Shelter, avail. Nov. 3rd.!
No microchip? No number on his collar tag? Hard to believe his owners would dump such a handsome young lad. Hope there's a good outcome 😢
"Get this easy-to-wear jersey dress in your wardrobe and you'll never face dressing dilemmas again. The semi-fitted shape and three-quarter-length sleeves are perfect for dressing down at the weekend with boots and tights; but pair it with heels, and that bold print is ready to make a statement at a party."
I'll just read that again myself to make sure I didn't miss anything.
Okay.
Would anything in that description alert you to the fact that the 'bold print' is of little white rabbits? Wabbits!!! Hundreds of them, scampering all over your torso and down your arms.
What sort of statement, at what sort of party?
Either Boden have gone nuts or I'm hallucinating.
Really sorry that you will need to call the doctor on the little white rabbits issue.
Boots, tights, rabbits? The reason one would never face dressing dilemmas again is that wearing that, one would never be invited out again!
I am going to read that again, just for fun with my morning coffee.
Hoping you will be okay. Should we send out a fashion fail alert?
Luckylu, One cannot help, when checking the score, briefly.......
hearing the gossip that the red-bearded man may be shaving it for his upcoming wedding.
Can't we all just re-cycle our old halloween costumes from the attic, and wear those?
There might be a fire sale coming up on Dodger's t-shirts and caps.
As for me, I will be ordering the bunny dress.
Hope his owners are looking for him and find him soon.
Also... ohmygod what a thought... my ex-husband's grandmother was known as Grandma Cuckoo. Not because she was going gaga, but because she once owned a cuckoo-clock that the children were very taken with and the name long outlived the clock. I do NOT wish to be labelled Granny Bunny. Phew! - that could have been a close shave.
CW, I bought a pair of trousers (that I wear a lot, I'm very pleased with them) last year from an online retailer. Since then I have had a parade of catalogues from what seem to be pop-up fashion companies with names like Wrap, Swoon - good Heavens, I thought I was exaggerating but there is one here honestly called "hush". Anyway. I have no idea who these people think I am or what they think I look like. Stick thin, waterfall-haired, Asiatic cheekboned, in my twenties, rich as Croesus and given to wafting around on windswept beaches looking soulful, apparently.
HAAAAAAA-ha-ha-ha - !
However, I ran across this; (I can't download the picture so get a mental image of this.) Poop Emoji Women's Bodycon Mini Knit Basic Stretch Short Pencil Skirt
Price: $22.39
A tight knit skirt with poopies with faces. (size small to ex-large!) And ONLY $22.!
If I can find a nice yellow pee-pee blouse to go with that, I'll be all set!!
Woo Hoo Hoo......LOL ;)
There was a chapter in the Secret Diary of Adrian Mole where he feels he has outgrown his Noddy in Toytown bedroom wallpaper and decides to paint over it. In black emulsion. It takes three coats for the pattern to be hidden. And, he says, even then you can still see the bells on Noddy's hat, at regular intervals. His father walks in to survey the new décor and says it looks like a surrealist's nightmare.
Anyway. I now feel about rabbits how I used to feel about sodding penguins, after mother's fondness for the little creatures turning into a certifiable obsession. The twice life-size poster of an Emperor pinned to the back of the drawing door. The stuffed fluffy toy penguin she kept on the passenger seat of her car. The Happy Feet merchandise, plus the DVD obviously. The trip to Antarctica.
Looking back, perhaps we should have wondered about dementia earlier on...
Send, hope that doggie finds a forever home!
In the past couple of years, I've stopped shopping new retail so much for clothes and instead have spent time perfecting my Filter settings for online consignment places. I'm pretty happy with the results -- I don't spend nearly as much money, I get my clothing needs met for much less than if I shopped a mall... and with as many clothes as I have (A WHOLE LOT), it just makes sense to not buy new things most of the time. Clearly I don't NEED as much clothing as I'm buying so I might as well recycle someone else's things if I can.
Upset, I like your stories about your grands. :-)
Thanks, we embrace cyber hugs
Mom is a big girl - and actually put on 30 lbs since moving to hoca and staring risperdal
She's been asleep without sedative for two full days only briefly opening her eyes - For awhile last night, they were looking at ICU admission due to her heart rythem
The SNF possibilities are bleak given our past experience in rehab so my goal would be to get her back to hoca in her own full size bed
But, given she is getting UTIs so frequently it may be a futile attempt
And, FF&F
In today's Review section of the paper there's a large photo of two gore-splattered starlets, one blonde, one brunette, captioned "SKIN DEEP - Jesùs Franco's film career may have peaked with 'Vampyros Lesbos' (1971)"
*Peaked* with..?!
Luckylu may not brag about what a good seamstress her Mom was, even famous in their town, if I remember correctly.
When my Mom dressed us funny (new dress) for easter, it was to go to church (and not exactly a costume.) .
But I forgot the easter egg hunts. At age 5, the children would go to parks to hunt for easter eggs!
They would be wearing either bunny costumes or their Sunday-go-to-meetin' dresses.
I can imagine the halloween costumes would be collectibles now?
What do you say, Luckylu? Can you tell?
Will Hoca take Mom if she has visiting "palliative care" ordered at discharge?
I would love to see her treated better, seems Hoca has let you down at every turn.
It may be a good thing that your Mom has gained a little weight.
In some circles, we call that our fighting weight.
Having some weight (energy) to lose can help a patient fight.
I don't think it only applies to cancer, but is often used when fighting that.
p.s. i know she doesn't have cancer.
I hope she wakes up long enough to at least pinch someone, Viking that she is.
Just a thought....how do they control her diabetes, testing it still?
Prayers.....
