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.
We're not near a Costco. We only have Sam's. Upside we have a great indoor farmer's market. Great bulk prices. Plus I have a big garden and can. We bought a whole steer, butchered and froze. Also 2 lambs. But feeding big boys is a job and expensive. Right now we have 4 extras who are home from college, plus the rest of the grands who are around for various breaks. But it's fun.
Happy anniversary
Grubhub is on it's way to deliver my lunch! Ordered it online myself, feeling better soon!
I must be brilliant! I could not order online before I got sick. lol.
Send, Grubhub delivered my sicky meal the other night. I indulged on way too much comfort food -- spicy sushi in this case. I wanted that wasabi to clear my sinuses! It worked, temporarily. Ahhhh.
Becky, that's cool that you are resourceful with your bulk-food options. I'm just a single person so I don't do any of that butchering/canning stuff, but I do know how much teen and college age boys can eat! They're phenomenal that way! I'm sure you go through a massive amount of food and cooking.
How's it going, Madge? What's the holiday plans? You at least get a break from work, right?? Thinking of you. 🎄🎅🏼🎁🌟
I will call this one, "The Caregiver Brat."
Or how's this? "What, are we all children?"
Send,
Hope you are felling better!
Fixing to dress and take my bratty rear end to take short ride to dysfunction junction. My sister...uggghhh...is having Gall Bladder Surgery at 8 this morning. Apparently her hubby worked nights last night and is sick and really needs to go home to rest. Told her I would be there by 9 to let him go home and stay until she comes out of recovery. Three hour surgery.
Hmm, wonder what kind of mischief I can get myself into in a surgery waiting area on Christmas Eve?🎄
I lost it yesterday and have been feeling guilty and yucky and lonely. But, you all get it and forgive. You don't know me, but you do, right?
Thanks for the silly banter, the sarcasm, the menu, the "selfish" moments you are basking in and the camaraderie.
Merry Christmas.
You can buy out all the good chocolate candy from the vending machine.
Welcome Daughter1975!
Merry Christmas Brats!
What would Gershun say?
Surgery only an hour.
When they went in by LAP thru bellybutton she had a Hernia there so surgeon repaired that. Gallbladder removed.
Surgeon says she can go home today but final decision up to Hospitalist.
I was here only to get report from Surgeon. Sister has been in hospital for 1 week. It’s been a fiasco, comedy of errors, and apparently no one reads charts anymore. Sister called me couple days ago and put surgeons nurse on phone with me. She finally admitted she better go read sisters info (chart).
Anyway, hanging around to see if they are gonna release her today.
I did my job. Translated Surgeons finding to BIL and accidentally caused my sister to laugh hystericallly.
Oops bratty me!
I’m glad they found your sister’s problem and dealt with it immediately. And that you were able to make her laugh. I hope you enjoy your holiday despite all this!
Try to remember that you are a visitor in the land of demented.
Keep your wits about you. The pumpkin pie should help.
Merry Christmas to a dear, sweet lady!
Lol.
Maybe if we can all mop the kitchen floor, or something, on Christmas morning.........
Madge, sometimes the demented are better option for company than those who have NO EXCUSE for the things they say!! lol
Everyone's fairly well behaved at my family Christmas this year, me included. Long may it last. Merry Christmas, AC fam. ❤️
Hoping my Christmas Day improves.
But alas, there is no one, no not one, who would help me mop my kitchen floor!
It is okay, it doesn't need it. Hubs and I just finished dinner, a vegetable stir fry. We did it all together.....otherwise, we would not have eaten. It was presentable, now I am in bed. Thankful for today.
Cheers 🍾

The Viking has spiked a fever and is coughing - waiting for private ambulance to transport to ER
I'm thinking of packing my wee little bottles of champagne into my ER kit with my blankie and other stuff
It's gonna be a long night - ERs are a mess this close to the New Years with all the visitors to SoCal
