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.
((((Hug))))
“My brothers do little to nothing and are totally fine with letting me carry this burden.”
I want to beat up your brothers.
“it's like experiencing my abusive childhood all over again”
ME TOO.
Empathy ((((hug))))
“I don't think this will end until she dies.”
I agree. Unless one totally walks away…calls APS…lets the State take over…
Even if your mom goes to a facility, you’ll probably help with problems.
“Maybe then I will find some peace.”
Please find a way to get your freedom already now. Not one minute more of abuse. Easier said than done, because abusers never stop, and kind people (you) keep wanting to help.
I’ve read lots of experiences from abused daughters who helped their moms. Indeed, they only got freedom/peace after the mom died. Finally free from the oppression, for the first time since they were born. But by then, they’re already a lot older :(.

Okay now. Thanks.
The storm (Hilary)has left our area.
Our experience was heavy prolonged rain, very little wind. No damage.
Thank you to the very special people who reached out to me! 💖
My sympathy goes out to anyone affected by the storm.
It does not hurt to carefully be prepared for disasters, but mediate that, don't empty the stores and hoard, and don't spend too much preparing. imo.
The word I am thinking of for the news outlets is B.S.
I would like to issue a red flag alert to people in general with regards to impending disasters. Whenever you hear "First time ever!", "Hasn't happened in 80+ years", "Worst ever!", your B.S. barometer should be on. Hopefully you have kept the batteries charged all these many years. 🚩🚩🚩🚩

He's having a CAT scan of his kidneys and pelvis tomorrow to see if there's a stone (he's had uretal stones and 'gravel' in the past, so his PCP thinks that's what this is.)
This site is so great for venting!
Hope everything will be okay with your husband. My husband gets kidney stones. My oldest daughter gets them too. They are painful. Sometimes they do require going to the hospital.
My DH has a hx of uretal problems; when he was in his late teens, docs discovered that he had a stricture in his ureter; his mom was told by one doc that one kidney would simply die, but she found someone would cut out the blockage and re-attach the ends. Worked for a long time. He had surgery to remove some "gravel" a few years back and a filtering stent put in. That urologist is only doing oncology now, but I was able to find an Endourologist (those are the folks with the itsy bitsy cameras) who can see what's going on.
Fortunately, my DH is pretty cooperative about medical stuff- he gets that I know more about this stuff than he does.
My dad had bladder cancer and was completely cured also. Glad that you went into remission.
🐻🐻🐻
Saw the urologist today. Surgery is scheduled for next Friday. Pleased with myself as I was able to locate the CD of the CAT scan done before his last surgery in 2019 and the discharge reports. So yay, us.
Thank you so much for your support!
