Okay, once more, I think I’ve caught up. You guys are an amazing lot, what with your outpouring of love and support. We’re truly a Kodak moment. Bless y’all.
Now, I’ve had several questions, so let me try and address them…
What are his interests / favorite foods? He’s a huge baseball (damn you, Rangers!) and college football (UT) fan. He likes Kung Fu / old western / action / car chase movies. He doesn’t read much, but lurves Calvin and Hobbes. He’s got a great sense of humor and can certainly handle tasteless or silly.
Homemade things are good. As far as food goes, he’s got a sweet tooth a mile wide. Particularly, he lives for strawberry, but also likes blueberry, banana, white chocolate (the kind of cookies wit that and macadamia make him swoon), pineapple and vanilla. Not that big on regular chocolate, but won’t kick it out of bed either. He’s a junk food guy (as long as it’s not spicy or hot) all the way.
He also listens to nothing but classic rock, but his faves are Aerosmith, AC/DC, Tom Petty and Bob Seger. I’m sure there’s more, but my brain is fried this morning.
How to help more? Spread the word. Tell a friend, who’ll tell a friend, yadda yadda yadda. That will help more than you will know. And it’s perfectly okay to put our address out there. We ain’t got nothing anyway, so if someone shows up here looking to cash in, I’ll just put 'em to work.
Finally, there may be other things I’ll have questions about. This is my first rodeo and no one hands out an instruction manual, so I might be tapping your brains on what the hell all I’m supposed to be doing. You, as a group, are a great resource. I wanna take advantage of that.
Thank you all again. Later, I’ll link to some of my earlier threads about him. Just because.
I updated the thread title at the OP’s request to better reflect what she’s asking for. I’ve also moved this to MPSIMS, though it is neither mundane or pointless.
All the best to you and your husband. I hope the cards give you both the support you need.
Thanks ITD, I appreciate the correction. And Lsura, it’s Texas. What can I say? The man bleeds burnt orange.
Also, I’ve been asked about possibly sending him emails and I think that’s a lovely idea. Tonight, I’m going to set up a gmail specifically for that purpose and then I’ll post it here.
PM address, please. I think this is such a sweet idea. I’m so sorry you’re going through this awful stuff, but anything I can do to brighten his (and your) day.
Everyone, check your inboxes. I’m pretty sure there’ll all sent by this point. If not, please let me know. Also, when you write, include your username on your card or letter. I’d love for my husband to finally believe me that my friends on the Dope aren’t imaginary.
Oh, and here’s a question:
When he comes home for hospice, we’ve been joking that where we set him up (in the master bedroom) will be command central. So as such, I’d really like to deck it out in military garb as much as possible. On a teensy, thrift store budget, that is. Therefore, all ideas or suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you.
PS. Still working on him a new email address. For some reason, by the time I reach the end of the form and click “continue,” it won’t go on my phone. Waiting to borrow a laptop to try again.
I make a mean banana nut bread.
