Ever just want to tear your hair out, or someone else's? If you cannot restore a sense of balance, you will run away from home? Just want to say some things without the constraints of staying on topic? Well, this thread is for you! If you just need a short break to let it all hang out, be a brat, then come on, you can do it. No holding back! Go for it, you can do it.
Grubhub goes to restaurants, picks up your order from online, and delivers it to your home. In our area!
Great idea, MsMadge. I will let you know in a few days.
But did you notice? All the caregivers in the group hug
do not have any legs. Or feet.
That must be because we really cannot run away, I am guessing.
Hubs always makes the same stupid joke when we go grocery shopping. They ask us if we want to use any of our Save On More points. He always says"Nope, saving up for that yacht" yuk, yuk, yuk. Then when we only have one small bag he always says "We're gonna need some help getting this to the car" yuk, yuk yuk. Sigh..............!
Triple digit heat heading to Southern California tomorrow thru Tuesday- what happened to June gloom?
Run run run runaway
Re-checked weather this morning, 95 and 99 in So-Cal where you and I live, respectively. (means me 99, you and my other 3 friends, 95.
Wondering what's it like in Malibu?
So they were serving a nice looking turkey stew, but when mom's table got theirs it was a strange grainy reddish brown mess of something, so I asked if they were not getting the turkey? We were assured it WAS turkey stew, just made from a different recipe for the pureed diet. First off, this dry, grainy mixture with chunks of something in it was NOT suitable for a pureed diet, but I shrugged my shoulders and decided to try a forkful myself.... unfortunately the server saw and asked me how it tasted. I asked her if she really, honestly wanted to know. She said yes, so I told her. Then I found out she was the cook :(
I'm not normally a rude person but OMG! How could she not know that my answer to question would end badly? It looked and tasted like the kitchen cut costs by scraping every dried out bit of leftovers for the week into a pot and then mincing it. She was obviously taken aback, but it is 2 hours later and I am still shuddering over not only the taste, but the horrible grainy little bits of mystery meat.
I hope you don't feel badly about offending the cook ?
Did she offer up an alternative?
I'm so sorry for you and your mom
Hugs
Reminds me of my situation with the yard service I have for mowing the grass here. It's a great service and very inexpensive, but they cut the grass far too short and their idea of "edging" the yard is to dig 3 inch wide trenches into the mud all around the grass area. I have worked long and hard to FIX the grass here -- I'm not going to pay anyone to screw it up. Every year I've had them (on and off), I've had to tell them DON'T DIG THE EDGE with a weed whacker and let the grass grow some before you shave it down to the root! You would think people doing yard service would know such things...
And you would think Cook knows when food is yucky...
But apparently, they don't know. :-)
When people on t.v. talk about minorities and rights they should start including elderly people in their debates and panel discussions etc, etc. I know elderly people if you were to ask them probably don't want to be referred to as minorities but if they are being treated as such..............well if the shoe fits right?
Then I notice the aide has her little girl in the front seat - hmm
I decide to roll down mom's window and say she should be in the back seat - of course she had to take her earplugs out to hear me
It's getting so your Mom cannot take you anywhere! Lol.
It was said that a driver turned on their windshield wipers and the neighboring truck's driver next to them shot at them! That is nearby where I live.
But don't worry, that caregiver probably won't shoot you, she will just quit like all the others !!! joking. Lol.
I know, Cwillie, give the cook an apology package of meat from that special butcher shop nearby...chopped liver? Or, she can fry up some cows brains....
See how well she can cook that.
The thing is, you were right to be angry and right to be honest; it's just unfortunate that she approached you unawares and so got a sharper (or let's face it devastating) answer than she was expecting.
See if you can see her discreetly, apologise for hurting her feelings and explain that she caught you at the very moment you were frantic about getting your mother's diet just right, and you hope she understands the stress. Good ol' stress, it's the best scapegoat in the world sometimes!
WhenI took my mom upstairs after dinner I noticed that her shoes were on the wrong feet, mom has big bunions and narrow shoes, I'm not even sure how they accomplished that. I desperately wanted to point that out to someone, but I thought I had probably used up my quota of snark for the day... lol
Miss Madge you are a hoot keep up the good work. Poor Mom could she walk in those shoes. Maybe mark L and R on them!!!!!!
He actually does fine most times, but Friday when I got home he was sleeping while needing to be on the road to work. Hmmmmn. If I wasn't all knowing, all seeing (NOT)
when it comes to him, I would not have come straight home and he'd be late for work.
Always hypervigilant here.......sheesh.
