Oh, now Cricket, you are inspiring my little evil streak. Enough: VELCRO!!!!! Oh, man. I'm cracking up just imagining the consequences! How about Velcro and flannel. Remember flannel boards in elementary school? Well, most of you know because we are all in relative age Boat. Now they use velcro... meanwhile2, that is very cool. I have several rocks shaped like hearts, in a little box in my office. I have found all of them but one. Angels surround you:) They are tearing up my house. I have had to remove artwork and a huge mirror in my dining room--that was secured at the bottom by VELCRO! That little ripping sound gave me the idea for Enough's. Afix to bottom of wine glass. SNORT!!!
Hi Chris, sometimes the middle finger is all we need to get a good laugh going, I plead innocent because my intentions.. O.o I am sensing that Kimbo isn't getting enough sleep and chances are 99.9% that I am right! Whahaha!! Enough, I loved the flannel tablecloth! Might I suggest ditching the tablecloth and switch to placemats? You could put a rubber backing on them..If that doesn't work how about using a couple Yoga mats? Muhahah I have an evil me side to. Meanwhile2, I love that rock gift. What a wonderful idea! Years ago one of my girls found a little rock in the shape of a heart and she painted her name on it and gave it to me and years later I was heartbroken to discover it had been lost in some of the moves. That was done by someone who really loves you.
Yesterday, someone left a rock in front of my gate. It is painted with a little sail boat, and says "turn me over". The other side says "Ahhh, that feels good". Don't know who left it, but is cute. Put it by the front door.
Enough, I think you're going to make it. You have an evil humor streak. Very healthy. heehee, heehee Do you give her ativan or something to soothe her?
Wow I missed alot over the weekend but catching up was good. Made it through the weekend with minor problems with Mother but she sure is something else. Since we had the party for New Years Eve and "bothered" her she has been making everyone misable by not eating, not wearing appropriate clothing (it is 12 degrees here today and she is in summer cloths) and yelling whenever the mood fills her. Lucky I am working in my office and leaving her to he son to tend to.
Cricket I bought a table cover over the weekend that has a flannel backing so it is hard to move, well she tried last nght and almost knocked herself out of the wheelchair I tried very hard not to laugh but it made it worst and I had to leave the table or fall off my chair. Okay that may have been some of the problems this morning with her but it did give me a laugh last night. I love flannel!
Good Morning my Friends, Austin, I send you a very warm California HUG. Being a southern CA native, I don't now what cold is, but if the first number is less than "6", I'm outta there. Weather Wuss:) xo Angelhair! Good to see your return to the Boat. Hope you enjoyed happy times over the Holidays. xo LindaHeart, Love and Hugs to you and Pa. Healing energy, cyber massage:) xo Cricketintrouble! haha! Well, your artwork evoked many snorts, guffaws, tears of hysteria, and if it cured anyone's depression, Whoo Hoo, if they can't take a joke!

Good Morning, Linda, a posture bra would help support your upper back. Meanwhile2, loved the joke and I to like Miz wanna be a dog! Ah, a dogs life. Austin, I pray for your good friend Winnie to pass in peace. The only thing worse than 15 outside is 15 and windy! Stay bundled up!! The sun is shinning here even though the temp is 42 and I am going out for a walk. I count my blessings every time I see the weather reports. I see the graphic post I made was deleted, lol better it than me :) xoxoxoxox to all.
Hello everyone. I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year. We were so busy I never got a chance to sit at the computer let alone check my e-mail. I had a total of 432 unread emails! Holy smokes! Any way, I hope you all had terrific holidays. Gotta go now. Love you all.
Hi guys my good friend that I visit in the nursing home is on the way to passing -she sees her late husband -I probably will never have a conversation with her-her sister tried to wake her up and she seemed anoyed-my husband worked with her husband in the 60's and I worked with her and her daughter and sister in 74 on-sheseems at peace-she had bee n in the nursing home for about 15 years and her heart is not in staying here -she wants to be with her late husband and I know God will get her there soon-she was an amazing nurse and person and her daughter is amazing-I feel sad but know she wants to leave-she was anoyed when her sister wanted her to wake up today-I pray that our God takes me before I go though wha she has gone through-our world is better for her being here with us-but she needs to go to heaven to be with her husbandshe has been a good friend and a good person-but I am sad to lose her-W innie I love you-knowing you has made me a better person.
Inner Peace If you can start the day without caffeine, If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains, If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles, If you can eat the same food every day, and be grateful for it, If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time, If you can take criticism and blame without resentment, If you can conquer tension without medication, If you can relax without alcohol, If you can sleep without the aid of drugs THEN YOU ARE PROBABLY THE FAMILY DOG!
Linda I see you are organizing yourself and saying to the doctors what they deserve. Good for you! Sometimes you have to scream a little bit, to be heard! I am having a peaceful hour in my room after a crazy day. The two daughters of one of my helpers have decided to sleep at my house tonight. They are sleeping in the same room as my mother's, because it is the warmest one. I hear them screaming and fighting and I just hope they don't wake my mother up, because otherwise tomorrow it will be a hell of a day. I am too tired to go into the other room and tell them to stop. You know, sisters... Always love/hate between them. Now I hear silence. Are they watching TV or they have killed each other? I will check tomorrow morning. I am going to bed now. Good nite everybody. My mother tonight is the less insane in the house. And this is hard to say, as yesterday she put 2 syringes in my boots. She found the syringes in the car (we had bought them to give her antibiotics) and she hid them in my boots. (Do you remember Ladeeda, the bananas and the butter knives?) I am lucky she hadn't opened the packaging! Otherwise it would have been very painful. Another story of ordinary madness....

Linda-Happy to hear hospice is coming to your house! Good news! Sun shine outside!
I will have a shitofranic night! Dad still sleeping! He will be up around 10pm tonight! Worn out physically and mentally! Dad did get up once today! Had taken off depends and noticed a huge wet spot on his sweat pants! Got him cleaned and changed! He seems out of it completely in the day and more with it at night! We bought some spiced rum for egg nog just used a little! Had it out on kitchen counter! Christmas day noticed the level had gone down by half! When Dad got up to open his presents in the afternoon, he was acting really weird! Walking was more impaired than normal. Took him up to get shower, and he started gagging like he was going to throw up! Smelled like rum! Mystery solved! Rum now hidden in a dark corner of the cabinet! Got to go! Wanted to check in with you all! Laying floor in the apartment! Not too hard, just physically draining with everything else! Laundry going non-stop! Love you all! XXOO
Linda,I have an extra back brace, They run close to $100, but they really help. I would be more then glad to send it to you, if ya want it, e-mail me your address-love ya-hugs
Hang in the everyone...Know what you are talking about, doctor insanity and just the inevitable of this is my job right now...Hope your burdens are not too great but I know what they are in many ways though not in all....still kickin' here...Adult Day Health Day so he is out of the house at least...
Hi everyone....no I've not fallen off the face of the earth. Mom is now in rehab trying to learn to walk again with her broken hip. She is doing her best, but I'm not really hopeful that she will walk. I've decided that I just cannot place her in a NH if the rehab doesn't work. I'll have to deal with it at home as I always have. God help me!
I'm afraid I haven't kept up with what's going on here. I just haven't had the time or when I get home at night I just want to drop dead.
My goodness we have so many new ones on the thread now. Hello to you all and welcome. This is a great place to be. Hello to all my old friends...you know who you are so I won't tax my muddled brain trying to name everyone. I love you guys!!
I'm taking a half day off to get a little house work done so I had better get to work. I'm sure Mom is fretting over my not being there. She wants me there every minute. She has stopped eating unless I'm there to help her, but today she'll just have to do without me for a while.
got a ph call returned back to me . yep they got all settled and pa is getting hospices . theyre suppose to call me today . austin - u made me smile . ure a sweetheart love u bunches . cricket ! ure cold !! yep bro said its cold down there and he is wearing long johns , lol ... bobbie looo !! hope ure warm . kitty keep ur feet warm wont she ? hug her for me and tell her to hug u back for me . ill keep u guys update on hospice s thangs . but i think i am going to bundle up in my coverhauls and go walk my bandit . sheba is needing to go poop bad but she wont do it near the house she wants to g down the street , phhhhhhhht i aint walkin in that cold wind last night , sorry girl .. alright got all my bills paid . gawd ! it realy adds up ! fkin bullshit . have a merry day and have a shitofranic day lalala . xoxoxo
Looking good this morning, I'm still here and didn't get kicked off the site after the graphic posts last night, lol
Omg, I had to put a sweatshirt on when I took the dogs out this morning! Whahaha!! Just goading those of you living where it's really really cold. Before you have a "shitofrantic" moment let me say; I lived in PA for 5 yrs so I remember what real cold is like. Linda I love that word and promise to use it a lot. :) Just a little suggestion about Pa's doc... if he doesn't follow through and get hospice out to you instead of expecting you to bring Pa in, FIRE him. Call Hospice yourself and they will have their own doc come to you. Remember there is always another way and there are always people out there who will help. In the meanwhile how about getting yourself a back-brace? It might help. You might even be able to go to Wallyworld and find one of those waist belts to give your back some support, Lord knows you need it..."pop" omg! that is not good.
Thank you Lilli and Carolyn for the New Years wishes through emails.
Jen, are you still alive? I hope no one lit a match and you all when BOOM!
