Looking up Charlie Brown's teacher.....ringtone

Bleh mwa huh wah bleh........

funny MsMadge!
You are so very well read!

Does anyone know if the Jitterbug can download a ringtone??

Because I want to download this song.....as sung by Andy Williams

In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself
To treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top
Will throw myself off....

About 8 years ago hubs had 1 foot in the grave from very severe pneumonia. He was hooked up to a respirator for 2 weeks in a drug induced coma in ICU here in Puerto Vallarta. He also needed dialysis, had cardiac arrhythmias and muscle wasting. I took him home by ambulance 35 days later. He had physical therapy, respiratory treatments, exercises 4 times a day and learned to walk all over again. He was the worst patient I ever had! 🤬
By the grace of God (and a very talented physician) he survived a 90% chance of dying. He says he survived so he can torment me (he’s kidding).
Some days I think it’s true! He’s a diablo 👹.

There is an app for things.
Reminder: A computer cannot think or use common sense!
There is no way I am allowed 56 points for not eating something, when I am allowed 27 points daily, rollover is 4. And, not entering a meal because I couldn't.
Anyway, might need to track my meals by writing them out, adding it myself, and using common sense.
The brat part is, this piece of chocolate is allowed at 5 points! I am going to eat it!

You are using a diet app Send? That's too high tech for me, but then I already know what my diet pitfalls are so I can avoid them if I choose (and if I have the willpower).

Already consumed all my points for today, but there are 200 food items that
have -0- points!
Yum!
I need to eat.

I don't think it is fair to ask hubs tech support for this. It is my responsibility.
But he does enjoy scanning a product's barcode for the WW points, he just has not taught me to do it. Today's burrito was only 5 points, and the piece of Belgium Chocolate was 5 points also. Food was good, but the scanning ruined the ambience of the meal.

Brat checking in. Well since I'm checking in anyway let me tell a good brat story.

When I was in elementary school I wrote Mr. Cawston stinks on the blackboard. He did stink. I think he may have had a drinking problem.
But still...

Gershun,
Only ten years old? I am just guessing since then you have not been a brat?

I know I have......

MsMadge,
Do you have a horse picked out?


We all know how hard you must try to he a brat.
For some, it just doesn't come natural.

Where is Boots, GrannieAnnie......the Brat bus will be leaving soon.

Where's the Brat Bus headed this time Send and what all do we need to pack?

Pack a toothbrush for a day trip only.
I am not the driver this time, so where are we going?

Maybe Sue needs visitors in Puerto Vallarta? We could help her get down to the beach.???

SueC1957, do you need some company in Puerto Vallarta?! LOL

I guess I'm checking in..currently visiting my grandfather at the rehab facility he's been in since January. When I say he has talked nonstop for the past 40 minutes..I've actually zoned out. Also, he's like the loudest person up here but the nurses just love him. From my understanding rehab will turn into long term care that's also at this same place. A lot of my burden has lifted with having him here being cared for but it can be an inconvenience to come visit him. He tends to hold onto certain things/memories, asks for stuff over and over and I have to talk to him like he's a toddler. I feel so bad but whatever keeps him quiet.

I'm about to leave. Told him I have to get back to work. Truth is, I was laid off 2.5 months ago. I've done a side job ever since and just accepted a new position that I start next week. I can't wait to use work as an excuse to not be able to come around. There's plenty of other relatives that can come and visit. I'm tired and need to get back to somewhat of a normal life.

LonelyStar, what's a normal life?  I can't remember.
I have never been to Puerto Vallarta.  Will the Brat Bus go that far? Sounds better than here.

Rose is very sick.  Lots of calls from NH about how aggressive we want to be with her illness, is morphine OK for her? etc.  She has pneumonia, and is unresponsive.  Antibiotic lowered her fever, and O2 is helping her breathing. I went in yesterday, and have never seen her not respond to my voice or hand stroking her head, arms. I don't know what to expect, or when. I should see her every day, but as a brat I'm avoiding seeing her. Maybe after the bus ride.

A day late and a dollar short. I missed the brat bus!

Well, I've been standing outside waiting for the brat bus but Send obviously got lost or just headed for the border and forgot me

too bad, I packed an extra box of See's for the trip and have the limes and tequila in a travel cooler

MsMadge, it must be bad, because she's had all her pneumonia vaccines.

Sorry brats, I did get lost in a spring cleaning frenzy, hanging bird perches up high for Tweety. Needed help, but working with dH was like s l o w pulling taffy, so slow. I am going to hire help.

Where is that bus, did it take off without me?

Sees candy, did you get some Easter Eggs Chocolates, MsMadge?

Y'all know it is not really a bus, right?
It is a luxury 45' RV, with a fridge for the chocolate.

Lizzywho,
Of course you are coming with us, even if someone has to teach you how to be bratty! Real bratty!

Volunteers? State your qualifications here:

How have you behaved badly?

How have I *not* behaved bratty would be a better question. I'm ornery like that ;) I'll catch the bus to the beach too if you all will have me. We have the chocolates already, so I'll bring the music.

FrazzledMama,
You meant "how you have *not* behaved badly" would be shorter?

Can you drive? We need a good driver.......

I would LOVE all the brats to join us in Puerto Vallarta!!
Since we have lived here before, we know all the places to go and make great tour guides. We also know the best areas of the beach and I make a mean Margarita 🍸too.

Driving from the southern U.S., it takes about 2-1/2 days to drive ‘cause you only drive during the day (for safety).
It’s a balmy 83F (28C) at 2:45 pm right now. 3 cruise ships 🚢 are in port today and lots of tourists are soaking up the sun.

Wish ya’ll were here.
