I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
Your uncle sounds exactly like my brother! 🤣 They would have gotten along very well!
This particular couple were relentless in ringing my bell every Saturday morning, until they met my brother! LOL 😝
Mom and I often giggled about how he would challenge people, especially over religion and politics!
This one particular JW couple would ring my bell every Saturday morning! This was long before the pandemic.
I was polite when I said that I was not interested in hearing about their religion because I attended my own church.
Did that stop them from ringing my doorbell? Nope! So, I stopped answering the bell. Guess what? They still rang my doorbell on Saturday mornings and tirelessly waited for me to answer the door. I continued to ignore them.
One day I asked my brother to come over to be with mom so I could run an errand. He came to stay with mom. When I returned home, my mother and I were in stitches laughing together about the way my brother handled it.
Mom said to me, “Honey, you know that JW couple that keeps ringing the bell early on Saturday mornings even though you ignore them?” I said, ‘Yes, Mom and I wish they would stop it!’ She tells me, “I don’t think you will be hearing from them again. Your brother really shook them up with a million questions and they left shaking their heads.” LOL 😆
They never rang my bell again! I thanked my brother for getting rid of them!
In the past, if I would bump into bad people, I could just walk away; find a new set of people.
But my elderly mom depends on various people within the health“care” business. Then she can’t just walk away from them. That makes those people even worse than evil, because they know my mom depends on them.
I think however, bad people don’t get away with their evilness. Something in the future, will come back and bite them. If necessary, I’ll bite them. I’m filing my 32 teeth right now.
I would love to stop bumping into such people, especially in the health“care” business.
I would love to stop bumping into bad people in general.
There are so many of them. It seems to me, there are very few good people in the world.
MOST of our problems in life don’t come from accidents or unintentional acts by people. They come from intentional acts by bad people.
I travelled for work during the pandemic, from country to country. It was ridiculous: at the airport, different countries had different rules (some 6 feet, some 4 feet…). So you’d land in one country, go through passport control, stand in line; everyone confused whether it’s 6, 5, 4 feet…Then there would be another queue after passport control, with for example 3 feet markers (because you just entered a new country)!
I don’t buy anything over the telephone. I hate when phone numbers and emails are sold or shared.
Every now and then someone will show up at my door too. Usually it’s a cable provider or something like that.
Don’t even get me started on door to door ministries! I don’t want Watch Tower magazine from JW Kingdom Halls. I’m never going to join their religion! So don’t ring my doorbell. I wonder how they did their outreach during the pandemic.
The kind of work I do, tends to attract people with integrity, honesty and a desire to make the world a better place. Those are the kind of people I’m used to spending time with.
But ever since my mom needed help, I’ve had to deal with people in the health“care” business (it’s more business, than care). I’ve met some of the most awful people I’ve ever met.
It’s crazy how many bad people work in health“care”.
Rude, dishonest, bullies, threats, psychological tactics, power games, actors, lack of integrity, deceptive, some really awful people.
Cheers! Break out the champagne 🍾 🥂!
This is such a relief. I’m buying a bottle of champagne.
You aren’t the first person to complain about disappearing post! It’s a shame that posts are being removed. I don’t see any reason for doing this. Very puzzling situation, for sure.
AC, can you please replace posts that are removed? Are these accidental deletions or is there a particular reason why we can’t voice our opinions on a subject?
A write a long, detailed response of EXACTLY what to say to discharge and POOF, it has disappeared.
Very disappointed in the mods.
If it's just trolling for business then they shouldn't contact anyone on the do not call list and you should make a complaint.
Sounds like your dad will receive good care and be near family. Can’t ask for much more than that! I’m happy for you and your dad.
I think you will get used to having your home back, you and your wife!
It was a long hard road, you did some really good things for your Dad.
Deep breaths, no guilt, now you can relax.

Dad agreed to go to a facility for personal care. This will be out of state and back home. He fell quite a bit last month, ended up in the hospital then rehab and the drs said he needed 24-hour care. He belongs to a fraternity where they will care for him for the rest of his life. No cost but SSI. It is a beautiful place and he will be within 15 mins to an hour of a lot of extended family.
He agreed and is happy. After weeks of paperwork, we finally got the OK.
On our end, it is bittersweet. I will see him a couple times a year but family will see him a lot more.
He needs a walker full time, no stairs all the things he needs. Private room.
We have spent the last 2 weeks cleaning out his 2 rooms to get our place back to normal. Now it is moving some things there (suitcase not U-haul).
Thanks for all the good words and thoughts going through the past years. It's been tough. I am glad I could do it but it's been hard on us for so long. He will be safe and cared for.
Well, since I had my cataracts removed I can see everything a little too clearly! LOL 😆
Yes! We do start growing hair in weird places as we age.
What age did y’all start shaving your legs? I begged my mom to shave my legs at 12 years old. She said no and I did it anyway. Paid the price for disobedience too! LOL 😝
I cut my leg from my ankle to my knee because I didn’t know that I had to shave with soap and water. I put my daddy’s sharp razor on a dry leg!
Now, we are sick of shaving or waxing! Plus, finding hair in weird places is crazy!
My mom lost just about all of her leg hair when she got old. They showed up on her chin! She hated it!
It makes him look like big bird. 🦜️
It wasn't that long ago our face masks hid all of that.
I'm talking ears and nose.
Guess what? that old person is what I'm slowly becoming... and it goes around and around.
