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.
My MIL once gave me something she found useful - "a round tuit", a joke decoration, since I often do not get around to it!
finally got around to putting batteries and quarters in it and took it to Friday night fiesta
she loved it
feeling guilty I didn’t put more effort in to playing with it in the early days of hoca when she was mobile and could have benefited from the entertainment
l've never cared much for the incense ball swung over the casket but I'd be hard pressed not to chuckle if it was medicinal mj
mom is pure Norwegian and the Viking in her started appearing with dementia- she once told a male resident at her facility who was bugging her that she's been known to kill 10 at a time when she goes berserk-
while I was surprised initially by what she said, I also understood how scary it is for her to be in constant contact with other sometimes violent demented folks
what I didn't know initially was that the word berserk is old Norse and a berserker Viking was a formidable warrior going into battle without shield - evidently, mom was channeling her ancestors
when I tell her to put on her Viking face, she'll bare her teeth 😆
MsMadge, how did your Mom get called the Viking?
Last weekend I was at my BIL's funeral and nearly laughed in the service. It was a high mass complete with the incense ball swinging. I immediately thought about the story of an altar-boy/man who got arrested for putting marijuana in the incense bowl. I started sniffing to cover up the inappropriate chuckle.
You have taken behaving badly to a new uproariously funny level.

I'm mostly a really nice person but sometimes....
My MIL is satan in a muu-muu. Has hated the sight of me for 44 years and I am not going anywhere.
She is perfect. Never a misstep, never a mistake, 89 years old and "healthy as a horse" looks down on anyone who needs medications to deal with anything..blah, blah, blah. I'm on AD's, so I'm 'crazy'.
I am not allowed to use the bathroom at her house (long story) therefore I am also not allowed beverages. I sit in a chair in the corner, I kid you not, and wait patiently while DH does his due diligence in visiting. No words are addressed to me.
LAST visit (and I mean LAST, I'm never going there again) she and DH went into the LR to put batteries in her thermostat. I followed, out of sheer boredom. She shrieks at me 'you aren't allowed in here'. (DH doesn't DO conflict, so he just stands there.)
Went back into the kitchen and opened a cupboard to get some ibuprofen and I see she has a full scrip for Xanax. (what??? She has STRESS?????)
Nope, I didn't pilfer it. I just hid it. She'll never find it.
BWAHaHAHAHAHAHAHA..........
SEES CANDY in a photo frame.
I'm having a good day, don't screw it up.
No Whining
Flush the toilet
Don't let the bird out.
After getting the Viking settled down for a nap today, I asked her if she was comfortable? She said, no so I asked her what would make her comfortable? She said, a man 👨 I told her to hug her stuffed kitty 🐱
Just think of all the signs we could compose.
Here's one I just thought up:
I can't wipe my own bum so would you be a nice man and lend me a hand.
I'm sure we could come up with our own greeting card statements.
Decided to keep the re-cycled paper plates. I started writing on them, placing them empty in the refrigerator. It says
"Hubs,
Sorry you missed breakfast and lunch."
Getting the pie will also need to wait.
Time to get some more pie and share it.
Keep trying, is there a re-try on the fiesta......Saturday night?
another resident is nearing the end of her journey - she's been so tormented in the past year with seldom a visitor but tonight there was a crowd in her room nearly having a party - I shouldn't judge but it really upset me - she could have used some love and attention long before now
You would need to start now.
I am sorry to read about Rose. ((Hugs))
Send,
The cows Don’t really need me. I just like to keep an eye on them. Babies, babies everywhere.
After we go to Oaklawn to the races,we could go to a bathhouse in Hot Springs and dip ourselves in that wonderful water that takes away wrinkles too~
It is too warm in Puerto Vallarta for costumes. They sell beautiful cotton caftans there, bring a bathing suit, when and if we do go, such is life.
But you like the horse races? I think it is horse racing season.
The RV bus trip is cancelled.
Is dress attire pajama's? oR Do we wear costumes?
Iv'e got a bunny outfit, a Bill and Hillary mask, or Lady GaGa to choose from...
It is the latest thing to shop, and have your packages sent home ahead of you.
LOL!
