Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
Hmm, I have a coupon for there and I'm feeling hungry....
Oh, I think they have some kind of poutine on the menu, almost every restaurant tries to capitalize on that fad 🤢
I love to pan fry cheese curds, season and serve as an appetizer with fresh tomatoes and a lovely cracker. We can only get frozen ones here and they are really expensive, like 15.00 for 8 ozs, special treat price.
KFC in the Carribean has rice and beans.
🙂 🌸 and i’m sending lots of summer hugs & courage to everyone.
🌸 today i had a nice day.
….i’m helping out my LOs. these days it’s not easy for them to see their friends. so when i visit, i try to organize nice parties for my LOs, so they can socialize and see their friends. we had a great party, and everyone was in a great mood. i’m organizing another party tomorrow, with dear friends of my parents.
apart from that, i’m trying to eliminate/solve many of my LOs’ problems, so i can focus on my work. to do my work well, i need a clear, peaceful, calm mind - not filled with my LOs’ problems.
step by step.
courage to all of us!
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Sorry about all your losses in your family.
Glad you are doing okay.

In real life I am not so huggy.
(I find it strange that huggers think their right to give a hug overrides my right to avoid one).
I suddenly had this light bulb moment. I thought "I get it now. If you don't care then nothing matters right?" Just think how much easier life could be if we all just didn't care. All our sibs who don't help or seem to care. That's it! Learn to not care and just sail through life selfishly and everything will fall right into place. Pandemics, mom's and dad's getting sick and dying, our pets problems............****, just don't be bothered. Let it all go to rot! The secret to happiness.
Sigh.............only problem is.............I do care.........a lot.
So much for that idea. :0
I'd be a listening ear anytime you'd like to share your long story.
glad - you are not alone. (((((((hugs)))))) to you too.
You are right. We can't go against our natural nature. I've never tried
but I'd probably fail. And who wants to be uncaring anyhow.
In the big picture it's not going to serve you well to do so I suspect.
For a $30 replacement clock, it changes every minute and provides hours of night-time interest. I wonder if it would amuse our elders too? Yours, Margaret
I just noticed stars were put in place of the word hell in my earlier post.
Just in case anyone just reading it thinks I said something else. No, I didn't say that word. The word was hell. (insert eyeroll here)
I must admit I suck at it. I care about all sorts of things that really are a waste of time and temper, as well as things that aren't, such as wanting those around us (four and two footed) to be happy and healthy.
But, life goes on right. And on and on and on and on............And on.
So, I just hang onto the ride for dear life and try to count my blessings cause so many have it so much worse than I do.
Testing 1, 2, 3.
Oh how times have changed. Maybe it is just you who can't.

I hate being a caregiver. It's like I'm stuck in the seventh level of hell and can't get out.

Does the end have to feel like hell on earth?

Mom’s health-I’m numb from the hell we are going through. What do I do?
A Paradise Built in Hell
David Hilfiker
In "A Paradise Built in Hell," Rebecca Solnit writes about that special sense of community, of altruism, of love, even of joy that can arise out of disaster.
Hell of a thing to do for a friend.
If you notice, only one of 3 words in your post was starred.
Maybe you are special (you are) and the admins have a sense of humor. lol?
The c word. The f word. The s word. The h word if you want. At least these are clear as opposed to wondering which one the poster meant by starring it all out.
Or they automate based on current editorial policy. They don’t even do that.
in response to what you wrote below, here’s a little joke:
🙂
My wife insists that I use the phrase “make love” instead of the f word.
I said, “What the make love are you talking about?”
Don't give up on being able to stand and walk again until you have tried some PT. Mom was able to move around the house with her walker after displacing her artificial knee replacement for a couple of years. It was awkward and slow, but painless and she preferred the walker to her wheelchair. My SIL used an office chair to get around in the house after her stroke; she could push it with her good leg and it turned in all directions much easier than a wheelchair.
I admire your ability to accept and cope with your health limitations and continue to LIVE your life! I hope you won't be offended if I say you reminded me of one of my great-aunts, who was the life of the party, even during her 98th birthday party. Grand ladies like you and Aunt M inspire me to what I hope to achieve in my own life.
