> [@FairyChatMom](#): > > Good thoughts needed, please. My sister’s husband is in a pretty bad way. She had him in the hospital over the weekend for double pneumonia. They sent him home, but early today, he couldn’t walk, so she took him back. I don’t know all the details, but he had to be restrained. He was pulling out IVs and threatening to kill his wife. That is totally out of character for him - but the doctors think he had a stroke, which would explain things. My sister is freaking out, needless to say. > > This BIL, besides being not one of my favorite people, is a chain smoker and a hard drinker, which probably has contributed to his medical issues. He’s younger than I, but he looks 20 years older - he’s been on a cane for over a year following a long-term illness and unemployment. Honestly, I’ll be surprised if he survives much longer… Anyway, my sis could use some extra-good thoughts about now. > > And another sister twisted her foot really badly - it’s all purple and she ended up in the ER, with a follow-on orthopedic appointment tomorrow. My brother was sick for 3 days last week, and my youngest sister is just getting over some kind of bug. I’m thinking living around Baltimore isn’t healthy! :eek: > > I think I’m going to hide for the night. **{{{FCM}}}** and I think I agree with the Balto thing. ---

I’m bad! Though I’ve been working on practicing other stuff on my clarinet. Music is what keeps me going. ---

> [@lieu](#): > > Someone else had a thread about Sears being less than forthcoming on pricing recently and how their tool quality has dropped. Then on TV they had a consumer report w/ basically the same story. What a bummer, they used to be reputable. Apparently no more. That merger with K-Mart was NOT a good move for Sears. Some thought that would improve KM to Sears level, I figured it would deteriorate Sears. Sadly, I seem to have been right. ---

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > Jews and Mormons can have more than one wife…everybody steals from us, already! Sheesh, nice to see that a board alleged to be about fighting ignorance is happily perpetrating same. Can’t speak for Jews, but Mormons (at least the Salt Lake City based ones) haven’t practiced polygamy since 1890. That’s 122 years, people. In fact, it’s grounds for excommunication these days.
