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.
You married a sweetheart!
Many years ago, back in the days when cars had hubcaps, two of my hubcaps went flying off of my mini van. I was going shopping for my young daughters.
This young man saw it and ran across three lanes to retrieve them.
This guy looked like a gazelle running out in traffic for my hubcaps! I was in awe of him.
It was pouring down raining and he took the time to put them back on.
When he finished, I took money out of my purse and told him, ‘Thanks so much. Please buy a nice dinner for yourself.’
He said, “Honey, your smile is all of the thanks that I need. My wife is out shopping. She left cold cuts for me to make a sandwich.” He was a sweetheart like your husband!
Recently I was at a dinner and I heard these 2 young teenagers laughing at a very older woman sitting in the corner with her daughter. All I was thinking was that will be you someday. After I wished I said something, but at the time what ever I said wouldn't of came out right.
We don't realize that we all get there when we are young.
Golden, that's a great story! You got a good guy!
You’re absolutely correct. I hated when my elderly neighbor told me that I was going to have wrinkles from the sun because she saw me sun tanning in my bikini.
We never think about getting older or any consequences for anything when we are young!
I told her that I didn’t care if I had wrinkles when I get old and that I wanted a tan.
Well, I wasn’t so smart because I didn’t use sunscreen and not too long ago the dermatologist removed a spot that tested positive for cancer cells.
Now, I wear sunscreen and a hat!
Now, I think being 30 is so young!
When your young you have looks, when your older you have knowledge. Wouldn't it be nice if they could figure out how to have both at the same time. 😆
Mine is a great guy too. Like yours R (aged 73) loves shovelling snow. He'd shovel right after work or even after driving up from E'ton (5+ hr drive) he'd shovel the driveway before coming in.
send - I know the fibro pain is a b***h. I take Tylenol daily and dextromethorphan (Robutussin) and other stuff. Turmeric is good too. I've recently increased the Robutussin as a result of an article stressing that the brain inflammation causes the pain, and in turn is caused by the overactive immune cells. I am noticing a positive difference. Hope you feel better soon.
need - glad you are wearing sunscreen and a hat. R has to watch as he is prone to skin cancers. Fortunately i never took to sun bathing as I don't tan well - mostly burn.
All these new friends of mine at once, having a hard time keeping track.
I thought I was the only one looking forward to snow to make my husband happy. Now I have someone I can complain to if we don't get snow. Every one looks at me when I complain like I have 2 heads. 😆
From what you have said about R, he is a gem!
I'm rather small body ,with a rather large chest. So I have posture issues.
Been working for a while on my posture. Started with orthopedic bras, which are amazing, for me now going to Chiro regularly, a little bit to a masus. My back and spin are a lot straighter.
Now I've been working on keeping my shoulder back. It's become an obsession for me. I'm thinking that it is increasing my tiredness, my core often just feels tired. I think because I'm moving my muscle around?
My recommend is for PT consult because boy did that every help me. The exercises are EASY and can be done in 15 minutes and really helped. I was actually getting muscles in the cervical area, shoulder, underarm, scapula and even some nerve pain all playing together at it's worst. It has improve my posture a lot and at 81, likely due to the luck of the genes, I am acutally the same 5'71/2" I was as a young woman. BUT IT HAS TAKEN WORK. (hee hee).
So I've made a lot of progress, but trying to amp it up.
She was 96. She was able to live a long life despite dealing with alzheimer's, dementia, and diabetes during the autumn and winter of her life. It wouldn't surprise me if she goes down as the resident who lived at her NH the longest amount of time. Next month would've marked 13 years since she was admitted.
I lived to see 3 of 4 grandparents and my last remaining grandparent is gone. She was the last surviving relative of mine born during the 20s and when it comes to elders from both sides, I'm now down to a great-uncle from my dad's side of the family. He recently turned 90.
Pray for me and my mom.
96 is a long life indeed but a hip # in that age group can fatal.
May she rest in peace.
May The Lord give you grieving mercies, strength and comfort during this difficult time.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Wishing you peace as you grieve.
Sorry for the loss of your grandmother .
So sorry to hear of your GMs passing.
Our weather isn’t suitable for a husky this time of year. He needs some stimulation and exercise.
I think that I will fill up the kiddie pool that my daughter bought for him and let him play in there.
Maybe, I will take him out for a drive to a coffee shop to get a puppucchino. He loves those!
Aww that's nice, yes they don't do well in heat. Have fun with them!
It's been over a year and the things I hear through the grapevine, is the people I hear she is hanging out with now are not partiers or drinkers . So it's a huge start. That I'm happy to hear!
Her mom died young of liver cancer due to alcohol.
Maybe someday I'll be able to see the huskies again, without expecting to keep them forever.
Seems to be a jump of UTIs around me. Second one I heard about this week.
I imagine it's because we are in are winter drinking mood, and the heat came on fast. So drink up!
Sounds like your stepdaughter is getting her life back in order. I wish her well.
I love my daughter’s dog. He is so sweet.
We can easily dehydrate in our heat. I try to drink plenty of water. I keep plenty of water in the dog bowl for our grandpup.
