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.
I have a similar gut-wrenching laugh far less now. In fact, the last time I recall having it was with my grandsons, when I threatened them with "the wrath of Gamma". They fell over laughing, so I laughed myself boneless too. That was early summer.
I laugh far too little now.
George said he never saw so much thoughtful sadness concentrated into one glance before as when, at the lock, that young couple grasped the idea that for the last two miles they had been towing the wrong boat. ... The maiden was the first to recover her surprise, and, when she did, she clasped her hands and said, wildly: "Oh, Henry, then *where* is auntie?"
laugh a lot,
piddle a little?
Or can anyone still make it in time?
It is not allowed to use dye in the laundryroom.
It will dye my husband's t-shirts only.
What, green is not my color!
My heart is deceitful above all things. Two natures-the one I feed, and all that stuff. Bwa ha ha ha ha.
What can I do to bless my brother today? hardeharhar.
Can't say you didn't warn him.
He didn't call, I put the number in her phone, and the rest is history. Bwaa haaa ha
After a while I got tired of her always asking me what I was watching because she doesn't know any shows from Adam anyway (not being a big TV watcher herself) so I just started automatically saying Good Wife any time she asked, no matter what was on TV. She must think I really love that show (even though it has been off the air for almost a year).
I spend a lot of time at mom's memory care late in the evening after work when there are no other family visitors and the things I see make me cringe - poopy diapers tossed in with clothes and wet towels then dumped in the laundry room floor - the poor person who has to get up in the morning and open those stinky plastic trash bags
Since many of mom's things go missing even though I do 70% of her laundry I try to check out the laundry room for lost stuff - they have an armoir full of unclaimed items - maybe I could have a yard sale and help pay the $450 incontinance fee this month
Don't forget to wash his dish when you serve your husband, because those critters can carry diseases transmissible to humans. Ewwww!
Detective here, problem solved: You said it!
"The staff provided some things to cover him to get him home"
Duh....where did the staff get "the stuff?" Did you wash it and return it?
No, really, where?
Or, get a search warrant-the most likely place the belongings are hiding is in someone else's closet or dresser, or on the floor of the closet in laundry bags.
Look everywhere.
But thinking about it... If you want to make sure your LO's clothing is easy to trace...
The staff provided some things to cover him to get him home. What more can I ask of them? They don't know where the things go, either, and that's why exploding dye packs would be helpful to identify the person who's doing the taking. j/s
They have smaller and smaller stick-on tracking sensors these days. I don't know the cost but likely those will soon be an affordable and sensible option to keep track of LO's things in care places.
Disclaimer, staff is loved..they take care of our loved ones......humor is ok.
Under the "Caregivers Behaving Badly" heading, I wonder if there's a way to prank the light-fingered pilferers. If someone thinks of something, I want to know. Exploding dye packs in a decoy drawer is what I'm thinking...
In all seriousness, it commonly happens in care facilities. I don't have a clue how to prevent it.
