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.
I understand how you feel. I am sorry that you lost your dad so young.
A girl that I met in high school told me that she lost her dad at age eight. He had a heart attack while driving home from work and was found slumped over the steering wheel. The police informed the family of his death.
I can’t imagine what it would be like to lose a dad so young.
My friend who escaped the fire in her home had an especially hard childhood. It is extremely difficult for her to hear happy memories of other dads so I stopped sharing special memories about my dad.
At the same time she would ask me questions and when I answered them, she became very upset. I think she is curious about what it’s like to have a dad.
She was the oldest of three girls. She did blame herself for her father’s death when she was young. Of course, it isn’t her fault.
After the fire, her mother lost it. I mean really lost it and went into a mental hospital. After some time she was able to leave the hospital and eventually reconnected with her children.
The girls were placed in St. Elizabeth’s orphanage for a bit. She and her sisters weren’t always treated very well in the orphanage.
The younger sisters were so young so they don’t remember the fire like my friend does.
I think my friend grieves continuously for her husband because in a way he became a father figure to her. She hasn’t accepted his death. He had serious heart issues.
I have never had a problem with anesthesia. That must be awful.
Dreams can be very strange!
sometimes things get tough. courage. keep going!! :) :) here's a hug for whatever challenge you're going through right now.
glad - some losses never are completely resolved. Thankfully the few times I have had anesthesia I woke right up and was ready to go.
llama - Let me know if it works for you. Second night for me and it helped me get back into a deep sleep.
cw - I appreciate you wanted to shop locally. For me if it was a matter of my health I would shop wherever I could get it. How much longer before the week is up? Re leaving stuff behind I know someone like that and think it's not fair to give your problems to some one else.
Snow and more snow here and overcast, but not too cold. minus 15 C (5F)
The cat is none to happy with the colder weather. He likes to mice hunt in the attached garage, but he is getting a bit chilled. He comes in complaining asking us to do something about it, and do it now !!
I love these storms when I don't have to get out in them.
Went to Wally World got another Dutch oven. Now get to store for chili ingredients. Hope I can remember the recipe, books are packed. Make sure I have necessary storage containers and utensils to make it an serve it. Oh, and crud, a soup mug too!
I really need a distraction before I give myself a stroke ....... Grrrrrr 😡😡😡
Sounds stressful!
I hope they are able to remain on schedule and that the construction work will be completed as soon as possible.
I want the transporter too! I loved watching Star Trek as a kid.
I always wanted to be able to twitch my nose like Samantha on Bewitched! Or blink like Genie did on I Dream of Genie! LOL
I also wanted to have a nanny like Mary Poppins! I loved reading the book as a child and seeing the movie. The scene where she tidied up Jane and Michael’s room with her magic was so cute. I wanted her to come help me clean up my room! LOL 😆
Remember the futuristic books that we read in our youth? So many of those things came to pass.
I remember when we saw man walking on the moon in our classroom. That was thrilling for us to see as children.
My grandfather thought it was a hoax! LOL He didn’t believe it. I got upset but my mom told me not to try to convince him that astronauts landed on the moon because it was beyond his comprehension.
I forgot Zorro!
Only 2 channels? Wow!
We had 5. CBS, ABC, NBC, PBS and WGNO.
I watched most of the shows that you stated.
I don’t know Forest Rangers or the Hobo show. I hated Lost In Space. I thought it was super boring. The rest I liked.
We had a black and white television for a long time.
Our neighbors got a color television before us. My neighbor invited me to see Batman in color because I was dying to know what color Robin’s cape was.
I hope you don’t lose power. Glad that you will have yummy chili to eat. Sounds delicious!
Remember how we had to get up and change the channel? No remote back then.
Technology changed our lives in so many ways. We adjusted to it.
Our children grew up in a world that always had technology. They have never been intimidated. I constantly see toddlers who know how it works!
Where's the snow?!
Snow is so pretty! We rarely see a few flakes.
Everything shuts down because we don’t know how to drive in the snow! 😆
