Night nurses have lots of tricks that can be advised from afar…catheterizing anyone, much less the beloved SO of a dear friend would be a very last resort. Besides, just looking at the supplies I’m sure her hubs would hightail it into the woods, not to be seen for days, new game or no new game.
I’m sure rooting around in her medicinal herbs drawer was comfort to both of them. I hope the kittehs got a pinch of their good stuff too…kitties pick up on their humans’ stress, as do dogs.
MIL came back from Penney’s with THREE pairs of gloves. Based on some conversations I’ve had with her, I think she’s incapable of buying one of anything. She was talking about sweaters - she bought 6 in different colors. And then there are the placemats and the two sets of 8, but she could only get 4 of another design… and on and on.
I expect they won’t want supper tonight. Less work for me. More time to read.
im beginning ot think appliances hate me …two of the 3 appliances went out this weekend that my aunt gets pathological about went out … the washer which wont be fixed until the 17th at the earliest because she hates having clothes to wash due to an bad experience when she was younger and my disabled cousin always has clothes to wash … so she bought an
And the K-cup machine gurgled its last yesterday so people are extremely grumpy today …I’m getting a new one delivered from Walmart …edit: No I’m not they’re out and have to ship it and I’m getting one tomorrow from amazon because free shipping and its a newer model …
Howdy Y’all! After a day of much slothfulness, and three naps, we are pretty much all better now. Actually, I feel like I could go to sleep right now, but will wait until normal bedtime to do so. I warmed up the leftover taco meat and we both et it up with the appropriate fixin’s, so the appetites are well and good. Now I feel the need for Netflix and chill. Not sure about popcorn, but that could happen.
MetalMouse sorry about the a/c woes. At least you know what it is and that the fix is on the way. Look at it this way, it’s cheaper than a whole new unit. Had to do that a few years ago right after spendin’ a ton o’ money on da cave’s makeover. Now I see that the fix has happened. Yay for that!
Sticky_Buns hope you are able to get the medical stuff figured out soonest and also hope you find that right gig.
{{{Shoe}}} seein’ a parent go downhill is so tough.
Taters glad hubs, you, and the dawgs got your son fix.
JtC sounds like the home place is just fraught with drama over Diablo. Never been much of a gamer myself so I can’t empathize. I can, however, offer sympathy, if that helps.
WetOne I am so enjoyin’ the saga of Ursula vs Pill.
Cookie looks like we’ve both had the same day today.
Flyboy take heart in the fact that Abbey chose the ottoman over you.
Oopsie glad you’re happy with your decision to give up the personal trainer. It it ain’t worth it, then it ain’t worth it.
shades I have an emergency back up baby coffee maker in case the Keurig bites the dust. Life is better for OYKW, who does not drink coffee, because I have that.
He did mess around with early AOL online games but it wasn’t until Diablo/Hellfire came out in 1996 that he got addicted. I sure don’t miss dial-up!
Thank you, it’s so wonderful to get weekly reminders from a world famous Binfluencer. I feel very special
We don’t have a recycle bin, everything goes to the landfill instead. I bought some clear plastic garbage bags to toss empty beer cans in and when that gets full, I put it out by the road. It tends to disappear fairly quickly so I’m guessing there are places to recycle them and make a few bucks. Knowing this, I’ll continue doing what I’m doing. I’m happy that the cans are getting recycled but I’m really just too lazy to deal with them myself.
You are such a team player!!!
I hope this one is better than the last one.
That’s why we fled east. Didn’t work.
I hope you get a nice snow or two on Saturdays so you can stay home and enjoy.
I hadn’t even thought about ToT yet. I can’t imagine we would get many but I’ll get a bag of candy anyhow. We’ll ask Harry when next we see him.
It never does.
Are you allowed to do that? Didn’t they make that a federal crime to stop ballot harvesting or something? If so, thanks for stepping up. Now that I’m no longer a pot-smoking felon, we need someone else to keep the place edgy.
Nah, he’d be back for dinner. He watched me make the pico…
I figured you would use your night nurse voice on him and tell him to go to the bathroom lest you put a bedpan on his gaming chair, LOL!!!
Oh, he was the only one stressing. I am always highly amused by his theatrics over this sort of thing. He’s not that way over anything else, just his games so it’s all good.
The cats weren’t stressed, they thought they would play hide and seek under thier loveseat and after half an hour of very intense play managed to get the pillows and blanket off the chair and out into the middle of the room. Then they curled up in a kitty ball on the blanket, groomed and snoozed out.
I did get online and push an avatar around for a bit, I wasn’t impressed with the new character class, but I don’t like wetwork, never have. The new content is entertaining and they have changed things for the old classes to buff them up a bit. I think they have nerfed the game way too much, but maybe that will change after I can bump the difficulty level up over high.
NOOOOO!!! After our last power outage, I realized that just one back-up caffeine delivery system wasn’t enough and bought some bottled starbucks to keep on hand. It’s better than nothing if the propane stove doesn’t light while the power is out and the zombies are attacking.
You don’t have to be a gamer to empathize with my laughter at my grown-up adult, big boy husband yelling at his computer freezing and letting his cartoon character get killed. I’m guessing it’s like laughing at someone you yells at football players on TV to tell them to run faster but of course we know nobody who would do something like that, LOL!
Hubs got an automated call on his phone and told me that we are on a boil water alert. When I looked online, I saw that some areas (not ours) had been affected by a water main break but the boil order was over. I think he had his hearing aids connected to the comp and didn’t hear what was happening on his phone, but it really doesn’t matter that much for us. We are too spoiled to drink tap water anyhow.
His parkensons tremors are getting more pronounced and he is starting to get a confused when he has too many choices. I’d be worried but there is no going back from that diagnosis so worrying won’t do anything to help while keeping a better eye on him will.
If I’m on life support and there is any question if I’m alive in there, bring in a cat that’s horking up a hairball. If I don’t immediately leap off of the bed and say “Not on the carpet!” then I’m gone.
Years ago when I worked at the dispo, we were offered free one-cent weed, and several employees scoffed & turned it down.
There was a reason for the bargain, and I knew that, but …
I said, “If I ever in my life am offered free pot and say ‘no’ please just bundle me off to the nearest E.R.”
Nurse: “What’s the problem?”
Peeps: "Uh, she was offered free weed and said no to it, so we … "
Nurse: "We’ll see to her right away. Sir! Sit down, sir. Your gunshot wound will hafta wait … "
My cream-mushroom-toffee-cinnamon lap blanket is looking really nice. I’m really pleased with the color combination, if not the color names. The pattern came from an English site and I had to scribble notes on the page I printed since what they call a treble is, in fact, a double crochet. I think they do that just to mess with American crafters!
I’ve been watching an interesting documentary on Prime about the development of the world as explained by geologists. I’m really enjoying it, but I’d enjoy it more if someone would quit asking me random questions while I’m trying to watch. I don’t ask random question during Wheel. Thank goodness I can back up and replay what I miss.
I’m closing most of the windows tonight - we’re promised temps in the 40s. I’ll leave our bedroom windows open a little bit, but there’s cool and there’s cold - 40s is cold! I’m thinking the next time I change sheets, I’ll be pulling out the e-blanket. (Does that sound hi-tech or what??)
OK, trying to get back to crocheting. Maybe I can put the TV back on again. Maybe.
Another reasonable day on the slides at the old barn. I was doing truck loading today at the New Shiny Place, so they could find the violence inherent withissues with the system. Having a Manhattan with my Redneck Stirfry.
This needs to be a sign on a desk, and an auto-reply to 90% of bosses’ emails.
I’m not installing a 129db belt system in the apartment, so WFH is out for me.

You need to freeze his underwear, so he can chill his ass out.

Remember “Revenge is sweet” and “Revenge is a dish best served cold”. So basically revenge is ice cream.
< awkward silence >
And since it’s hockey season, there will be a lot of yelling of “SHOOT!”(possibly in Finnish, Russian, and Czech)
I once got so ticked off that I starched his underware. I learned that from Mom.
Well, yes mother. You wanted everything to be white so I thought you meant my skin as well.
She needs to be able to control something in her life anymore. Thank her and send the super expensive sun screen to me. I’m still allergic to the sun.
And yeah, you are at the age that you need to start taking calcium fer your bones and magnesium and Vit D helps you absorb it. Tell your mom to send you some, that will allow her to spend hours picking just the best brands and doses for her favorite daughter. Look it up when the box arrives and figure out the best doses yourself.
So, Jolene is feeling neglected and took it upon herself to remind her big slave to properly worship her. He’s yelling at her to get down while looking over and around her to see his monitor. If I was a good wife, I would go in and get her, but I’m not. I’m going to just laugh at him because he can’t move a 7 lb cat out from in front of his monitor.
Not really, but I’m so damn tired of hearing “Well, women at your age…” while also side-eyeing politics.
(Mention colonoscopy or boob-squish, and I’ll hit you with a hot pizza pan. My folks are up in my bizness about my damn toenail. I can’t even with this. I don’t have time, or energy, or spare money, or medical coverage. Fuck off.)
I slept through until morning, which is a good thing. Before the alarm went off and I thought I’d pick up my son on time for a change.
Until I stood up and my stomach started to burn and rumble.
I wasn’t going anywhere.
I called a cab for my son. A man answered this time, and he was a bit rude and hard to understand. My poor son, I told him to take a hoody to irk, but he didn’t listen and had to stand outside in a t-shirt in 40 something degrees waiting.
It was not a pleasant experience for him. Cabbies are crazy, and this one had him pretty scared.
Then my son made the mistake of telling the cabbie he should drive slower on our road because of the deer. The cabbie laughed at him. Then my son warned him about the construction area and he might want to go slow through there. The cabbie told him, unless you are a cute girl sitting up front holding my hand, you don’t tell me what to do. And you ain’t a cute girl.
I told my son, you never ever ever tell a cabbie how to drive.
That said, my son said once the cabbie started hitting the hills and curves where you can’t see what is coming, he slowed down considerably.
Good idea, as that time of the morning you will see the regular school bus, the Mennonite school bus, the commuter bus, and sometimes the mlk truck and a tractor or two.
And deer.
My son told me to never call a cab for him again. He will sit inside and sleep in a chair if he has too.
I said if you get your damned license, you wouldn’t have to wait at all.
I talked to my ex-neighbor’s nephew last night. I worry about and miss Adam and sometimes I want to go over and get him, and bring him here. Adam is doing well, but he refuses to come inside anymore. I think because they tried to make him into an indoor cat and that wasn’t going to irk. Maybe as it starts to get cold he’ll want to go inside. They know that at least one othe person is taking care of him. They call him a ‘Cat About Town’.
They don’t want to give him up, so I guess as long as he is happy and healthy, it’s all good.
The neighbor here has a HUGE cat that comes over and sleeps in the chair out front sometimes. I don’t know if they would fight.
I read but retained little. I have had a horrible headache all day too. Probably dehydrated, but I can only drink so much or I start feeling sick.
Good evening all. Did extra pedaling and walking at the gym today to make up for yesterday’s missed session, then coached soccer (only 2 boys made it, which was disappointing; guess something must have been going on in the schools…) and have come home and added the necessary (and maybe a few unnecessary) calories so all is good. Nothing much planned for the evening, might have to do a couple loads of laundry tomorrow. Would love to check out my repaired AC, but it’s 64F and heading into the 50’s tonight so the heat might get more work than the AC.
Sticky Buns, you need to find a fit that is comfortable for you. Keep on trying.
Flyboy, cats iz weird, but glad Abby seems to be feeling OK.
Oopsie, that sounds like a lunch I need to try sometime. And good on ya not letting yourself be bullied into something you are not comfortable with at the gym.
On the inheritance front, I take after my dad who was the calm and collected (and occasionally long-suffering) one of my parents, while my brother is more after my Mom’s side of the family with a short fuse and loudness.
I usually have 40-50 trick-or-treaters, so not a big cost and no pet to make frantic, so I’m in.
FCM, does MIL have a credit/debit card still, or do you and FCD manage that for her? Just look at it as more charitable donations sometime in the near future…
shady, besides the HVAC troubles, the light in the refrigerator freezer has burned out and finding the &%^&* has been a pain, even with the directions.
As my friend BBBooo will attest, Nebraska is football country. It is taken very seriously here.
We were eating lunch at a Pizzaria/Sports Bar last year during a pretty intense game. There was a table full of hearing impaired men sitting next to us who were signing angrily at the big screen over the penalty calls against the home team.
WE are at the age that WE need to start paying better attention to that sort of shit and you should pay better attention to it than I did or you will end up avoiding stairs and using a cane.
Seriously, I am sorry for hitting one of your buttons. I do care a bunch about you and I didn’t listen to folks when I was you age so I do get it.
I am seriously over the medical system. You are working your ass off feeding people and you can’t afford medical care. But you are making too much for us taxpayers to cover it. Fuck that shit, let me pick where my tax dollars should go because your medical care is much more important to me than Secret Service protection for felons.
swampy, bought a new unit about 6 years ago, but it seems like colony of beavers…just one dam thing after another with the system. Hopefully it’ll settle down now.
shoe, its…family, can’t live with them, can’t go Lizzie Borden on them…
JtC, you should write down those moments and sell them to some family sitcom.
Really wish we could.
Sari, one reason I use Uber these days is that you can do almost immediate write-ups/grades for drivers…sounds like this guy needs some manners…
AND that should catch me up. Getting near 10pm here so need to finish up the day’s internetting and be thinking about bedtime. Take care all.
My taxes to health care for all (especially our shoe) including basic dental, vision and hearing care, fully funded public libraries with solid rural and underserved outreach and public schools, including special education and paying teachers more.
“Ve haf other vays….”
