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 like to try street food here in Chicago. It's among the best in the world, I would think. So many cultures and there are all kinds of things to eat. It's one of the perks of being in such a cosmopolitan location.
There's one guy, Glad, who sells tamales to the patrons at bars at closing time. Which, if you think about it, is pretty smart move on his part. So he is out selling his tamales around 3am! lol
So nice to be accepting of other cultures. Discernment is a good thing too.
The lady did not offer to sell me any tamales. If she had, I would have bought ALL her tamales, explained that going door to door in this area is not safe for her, a woman alone, and I would have driven her home.
I just know it was not me who said those things......Mwah ha ha ha!
I was never here!
Ali,
Continuing with the BRAT theme.....
I guess L.A. is just a Metropolitan city, no where near Cosmopolitan.
No worries.
I do love how mixed in all the different food is here in Chicago. I still try new things all the time. I had lamb biryani from the gas station the other day lol. True story, the gas station I stopped at had a Subway chain restaurant, and another independent restaurant offering, what I'd call, Middle Eastern cuisine, though biryani is Indian in origin and it had a lot of saffron rice with it. The lamb biryani was so hot, tasty, and filling on a cold winter's day. Much preferred that day over the Subway offerings.
Hubs cannot get his own cereal, and I cannot cook tonight.
now I'm wide awake
chances of getting to hoca on time for breakfast with the Viking ?
it was too chilly to take mom out for a walk after breakfast so decided to play balloon 🎈 and pool noodle with her -
she was doing very well although she only uses her left hand to hit it
another resident whom I don’t know wanted to play so I gave him my noodle - bad idea
he teasingly hit the Viking on the head with it -
I guess you know how that went over
The driveway alarm went off, I jumped up, asking hubs if he put the empty bottle outside. Never answering with "Yes", or "No", He said:
"I thought they were coming tomorrow".
"You are right, they did say they are coming tomorrow!"
Yep. (pause for effect).......
"But they said that yesterday."
The sun will come out, tomorrow.
Bet your bottom dollar, there'll be sun.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow.....
A strange thunder and lightening storm is headed South from here.
Did you get any rain, or real scary thunder and lightening after 9 p.m.?
It sounded like a truck was running back and forth through the house and down the street. 1,000 one.....
You deserve some treats, and kudos for being bratty. Keep up the good work.
Goodnight!
Goodnight to you too~
That was others behaving badly, but now that you are back, give the "fake" caregivers the riot act. Act really badly towards them, but don't let Mom hear.
And with hold their pay. imo. NOT AS EXPECTED.
Shessh, I am upset for you!
That sounds like another distressing issue, and I will read the article later.
Overheard in passing, people are leaving fb in droves? What is that about I wonder? Maybe they have all shown up here?
Hubs has been listening to a misogynist type radio show. His attitude has changed for the worse. It is hard enough to get his cooperation. This morning I discovered his special ring tone for me when I call him on his cell phone is a dog barking. Everyone k n o w s d o g s. cannot use a telephone!
Next time I am at the market or pet store, I will be spending a fortune on dog food, and will line my cupboards with canned dog food only.
Everyone knows a dog cannot cook or drive......
Arf, arf arf, arf, bark, bark, bark, yip, yip.......growl, .........
growl, Grrrr.....
Should I bite him?
How is he going to call a dog for a ride????
Married to a dog.
I may be joking about the issue, but it really hurts when I am already challenged to hold him in high esteem.
Turning off my cell phone for the month of March.
Avoiding all or nothing thinking.........I think.
Hubs did a lot of the packing while I went around “not doing anything” like getting the car smogged and registered to his mother, cancelling magazine subscriptions, getting medical records, phoning banks, rerouting mail, calling credit card companies, etc. He’s been totally stressed during this whole episode (over a month) and won’t be happy until every last thing is put away. (I figure another 2 weeks).
In the midst of all this, I need to fly back to Tijuana to get my mother while he stays with the 4 cats and 3 dogs. I’m NOT looking forward to the 3 hour flight with Mom. Maybe the nurse at the TJ facility can give her a wee bit more anti anxiety medication to take the edge off.
So, as a last resort, I told “Grumpy” that I might need to let his mother in on how his behavior has been towards me (😱 Oh NO, don’t call mom!)
MIL is on my side! Tellin’ on you to your mama still carries some fear cause she’s still the BIG boss in this Mexican hierarchy.
I got an apology later on in the day and he’s been civil since. Thank God I’ve got that card up my sleeve.
Crud, can’t live with ‘em but can’t live without ‘em either. Grrrrr 😒
Friday and Saturday nights are good brat times.
Even if you do not act on it, what would you really like to "do" to relieve stress?
I am going to try a new hair color, called soft silver blonde, in preparation for going gray.
My hairdresser lightens my color every time I get it colored because he says the older you are,the lighter you should go since darker hair brings out the wrinkles and makes you look harsh.(That's what he told me).
AND,
I'm married to a mutt too~
maybe there's a ringtone like Charlie Brown's teacher you can use for dh
wah waaah waaaah wah wah
spring back
fall forward

never change the clocks
be early or late
The clocks still read 4:57 a.m.
Just last week, I grabbed one clock off a bookshelf because it was 20 minutes different than all the other clocks in the house. I hid it.
Maybe dH likes it this way, but from the bedroom to sitting at the table, I was getting soooo very confused. It feels like being GASLIGHTED. His motivation is not known.
DO NOT MESS WITH TIME!
