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.
Same here.
It’s not a full moon. Not April Fools Day. So, what’s up?
I did not log-out.
I just came back to try again, here I am,
with hesitancy, trepidation, and concerns.
I could get a better life, but would need the support of my friends on AC.
One in particular is the rotation of questions. New questions are sometimes lost in the shuffle. Old questions are brought to the forefront. It’s ridiculous.
Oh, and has anyone else noticed that people post their question in the ‘question’ section and AgingCare will move it to the ‘discussion’ section.
It is annoying because all of the responses to people’s comments are not in the right order after they move it to discussions. As you know, no one can reply to comments on discussions.
This just happened to a post that Midkid posted about DH stepping up. It was in questions and somehow it got moved to discussions. It’s happened to my posts, others too, many times.
I get cold when temperatures drop below 70! Hahaha 🤣
Stay safe, Glad. Colorado is so beautiful but it’s a bit too cold for me. I would have to buy really warm clothes I lived there. My daughter says that the key is to layer clothing.
After my daughter slid on her stairs in the snow when she lived there she invested in a good pair of snow boots!
Then she moved out of her 3rd floor walk up into a building with an elevator and indoor parking!
She is hoping to move back to Denver one day. She misses the snow and Denver in general. I don’t blame her for hating our humidity. Louisiana is basically a swamp! Hot and humid summers.
here all our snow melted away.
buttttt, tomorrow it's coming back. that can ONLY mean 1 thing. i will be forced, completely against my strong will, to drink lots of hot chocolate.
❤️🙂
see ya in 5 minutes,
bundle of joy :)

I think the Banana Boat Song is still my favourite.
That was the quickest fix ever! Let’s see how long it lasts before I am off again!
It’s weird. I couldn’t post right after I posted a couple of questions. I saw where one went through. Not sure if the other one will.
It said that I was logged out so I didn’t even get to proofread it. Same thing happened to Glad when she posted a question awhile back. It logged her out.
I don't know what happened; she was found dessed in her nightclothes halfway in the tub with the cold water running (drain was open) during a nightime check. They think she had been there for less than an hour. The water could have been turned on as she fell. She was discharged from the hospital 14 hours earlier, having spent 15 days there for treatment of respiratory issues. Maybe I should have had someone spend the night in her apartment, but I thought the hourly checks and the "summons" pulls would be adequate (SIL hated having someone check on her in the apartment) and her daughter was going to stay with her for several days starting the next night.
Both my SILs are deceased now; neither lived very long, dying at 56 and 69. I'm saddened by all the good times they have/will miss (like helping my grand-nephew get ready for prom). And maybe someday soon I will be able to enjoy this fancy recliner (I don't need the lift component yet) without its presence in my home painfully reminding me of who is missing. Is it strange that I find my mother's things to be comforting yet not this chair? Maybe because SIL is my generation?
56 and 69 is young. very different from a long life, well-lived. it's not surprising at all that you're sad.
let's all live & appreciate life to the fullest, knowing that there's no way to know what happens tomorrow.
Very sad story. I’m so sorry. Sending many hugs to you!
I hope in time you will enjoy the recliner and your memories of this lady who was dear to you. (((((hugs)))))
Here's one of his songs that I've always loved - probably my favourite
