Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
The custard cups, jello, and applesauce you had given your mother may be good for MsMadge's mother? Wish there was cranberry applesauce.
Do you think your mom needs to have her drinks thickened now MsMadge?
Just ask, or maybe they will offer.
Hot cocoa sounds good - I always carry a pack with me in case mom wants some - just gave her small sips of cranberry juice in bed tonight - she is choking so easily now
It is so very much okay though, because last week I could not have changed my sheets without help and lots of pain. Tonight was a good night, believe it or not.
Well rich people who have pools - ha ha
But, our local park and some YMCAs have them - much easier on the skin without so many chemicals
or maybe an old woman or man holding hands with God.
These might be too sad but crying is good for the soul, so why not.
I think the origin of Coffee Klatch is Swedish, Danish, or Norwegian.
Somebody help me out here?
Definition is:
"Coffee Klatch."
"a social occasion where people gather and talk about unimportant things".
There are actually coffee houses called coffee klatch.
Luckylu was correct.
I'd like to enjoy some green tea and scones with honey butter at our klatch.
Did not know, until you mentioned it, that there was any such thing as a salt water pool!
Guess that is for the rich people?
CMagnum,
You are the only upstanding guy that I know on AC, and I would personally like to invite you to join the Coffee Klatch ladies.
Bring some conversation, and I promise not to ask you to bring in the firewood.
Not an exclusionary thread at all, right?
Everyone is welcome. R.S.V.P. (and no one knew I took french in high school) Lol.
1) A cafe latte.
2) A white feather
3) The finger people (avatar was a thumbs up with black eyes, a thumbs up)
4) A group hug
5) Sign: Stay Calm and put your jammies on
6) Cute, but exit the teddy bear in the straight jacket
7) A beautiful cat hug
8) An ice cream cone
9) A blank white box to indicate "there are no words"
10) A heart shaped balloon with a teddy bear hanging on for dear life
11) A sleeping bear with zzzzzzz's coming ouf of it's mouth.
What else? Any ideas?
Coffee is plain and simple with non-dairy, but I limit it and now add boiling water, called cafe americano. I cooked an entire fantasy plate of scones, but it shut down the kindle, it was so hot!
I must have told 4 people that I was going to bed, at different times later and later. I really tried.
I like a simple dark roast with milk and sugar, cream if I order out, nothing fancy. According to the web we canucks drink more coffee than just about anyone else in the world, following only the Netherlands and Finland. And why not, it's cheap, usually low calorie (no starbucks mega calorie concoctions allowed), warms you up in the winter and perks you up any time.
Have you an idea for today, Cwillie?
What kind of coffee did you bring?
Who else wants to go?
Goodnight Gershun! Goodnight Luckylu!
Tomorrow is another day!
I was having tea anyway.
Coffee in the mornings.
"a social occasion where people gather and talk about unimportant things".
There are actually coffee houses called coffee klatch.
It meant something more in the olden days of yore, I'm sure.
Your vacay sounds wonderful Lu-something for everybody.
Since I will be getting my Burmese mountain dog in Switzerland, I will enter it into the Iditerod race.
This is a group trip, right? I know that Stacey will love the Vegas part.
But Gershun is bringing her kitties, and getting her own Bermese, I think.
We might need to borrow a private jet to let the animals travel in style. Ok?
A Coffee Klatch sounds like a bunch of women yacking,drinking coffee.Is that right Send?
Maybe MsMadge knows.
Silly, huh, I know words, use them, but lately, cannot define them.
I am going to google Burmese dog retreat instead.
I've always wanted to live in a mountaintop chalet in Switzerland with a big roaring fire going all the time and hot chocolate laced with Bailey's laying on big fur cushions on the floor and my big Bernese mountain dog curled up beside me and my kitties curled up with him and all my besties there with me.
Need a jacuzzi, overlooking an ocean.
Just sitting there for a week, I would be walking a lot then, I am sure.
