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.
Usually I don't enjoy secondhand embarrassment but I got a door to door campaigner today who managed to misinterpret ALL of my political opinions...and I think he thought I was 40...so I didn't feel as bad about being snarky with him!
He was quite the gymnast; never seen someone walk down a driveway with both feet in their mouth before!
Did you get lost in the new site again?
Follow Gershun's popcorn trail back here
I Never know what twisted thing he'll say or do next~
Oh, sorry, l lost it there for a second. ............................Send! Send!
Ms Madge, I need the Viking’s unique skills; male nurse who comes to take BP and temp shows up every time I get sound asleep. Perhaps he needs a good pinch.
Here I am, missing all of you!
It is an ongoing internet thing, as ours is no longer supported or upgraded at all.
I had just finished giving the Viking some apple juice and tucked in again when staff came in for a diaper change - they throw on the lights pull off the blankets and lift up her nightie - the old gal was not pleased
Staff told the newbie caregiver to be careful, saying, she'll pinch you
Is it any wonder ?
Last night, dH was tinkering everywhere with wires, called tech support too, which is why we knew that the equipment is no longer supported. But why then, is it working a bit better now?
And.....
A loved one in AL wearing a catheter...My sis asked me to look up swim therapies....But I am now doubting everythingthing I thought I knew. Can a person even swim with a catheter? The brat thread is the only place to ask this dumb question, I am sure.
Gave me the creeps.
On my 2nd major stomach surgery in Hawaii, I had complications. The only time I was woken up at night was the morning after my 5pm surgery. The nurse was concerned that I didn't wake up All night. She said that I was very very pale. She had me blow into this plastic thing to make the black ball flow up. Couldn't even do it. She said that I must keep blowing into it until the ball reaches that point. Do you know how hard it was to try to get that ball to even go halfway?! Other than that, I don't recall being awaken at nights for the vitals.
I know I can not swim or use a hot tub with my J tube in case water gets in which it could and slosh around in my intestines and cause infection. I don't know about colostomies.
Anyone out there got one and goes for a dip?
Many many years ago when male nurses were as rare as hens teth in the UK one came in to check my B/P all the while stroking my arm.
The worst part was in major hospital where most of the aides were Eastern European refugees often with medical degrees. Gues you can get used to anything when one gets a bath!!!!!
It was the psychic that did it....woke me up in the middle of the night, saying you had surgery?
Hope you are feeling better soon.
I was going to send one of those St Bernards with the barrel of brandy round his neck
Thanks for the thoughts Veronica!
Really hate fire season---it is already summer and so very hot.
Had free tickets including parking and program for the great race place - it wasn't a race to bet but what fun to see Mikey win the triple crown at the age of 52 - wish I could have taken the Viking to see it too
Recovering from a bladder infection, I did not go, even though dH would have rolled me out in my former wheelchair.
Feeling bad because I now know that it is me, not taking advantage of any fun times.
Instead, stay home to figure out tough finances?
What is wrong with me?
Does anyone have a bucket list?
I'd like to be certified in TESL or TEFL (Teaching English as a Second or Foreign language). Since we'll be retiring in Mexico, I'm sure I'd stay busy. I don't want to teach in children's schools (because they "have" to take the class and aren't necessarily interested) but to anyone who really wants to learn it. I'll take a plate of enchiladas as payment. 😋 🌮
I'd also like to 'seriously' study Spanish. I can speak it now but I'd like to be wonderfully fluent.
I want to volunteer for a "good cause". (Whether women's shelter, animal shelter, soup kitchen, etc.) to give back to others for all the blessings I've received.
I want to go diving again before I'm too old and my body gives out.
Loose weight.....hahaha
I'd like to meet the little girl I sponsor in the area near Mexico City.
Nuff stuff to keep me busy for awhile.
My parents had worn me out to a point when I come home from work, I stay home.... no energy at all. Heck, going to Target for me is like going to Disney World, that's about the speed I am at now :P
One thing I always wanted to do was visit all of the Presidential Libraries. Not going to happen :(
DH suggested we go to Target yesterday, and I just could not go!
Stopping by a closer market on the way home. We both slept the heat of the afternoon away, barely able to get dinner at 8 p.m. due to the heat.
Marriage licenses should have an expiration date.
Divorce is way too adversarial and expensive. It is easier and cheaper to get married, once the first license expires. Here, fill out this form:
__ Put an X in the box if you want to renew your license.
Couple could make a financial plan accordingly.
The government could get a fee for the license renewal.
