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.
who'd know there is a h o l i d a y? The fireworks are now just an irritation.
You are right, we are very blessed to have had dads that loved us so much that we miss them so much.
Right before my dad passed he gave me one of his rings that belong to his dad (my grandfather) and I wear it around my neck and it does make me feel like he is still with me; if that makes any sense!
Thank you for your sweet words, prayers, and hugs.
But how blessed we are that we have had those Dad's that we love and miss so much.
I just wanted to send you a big ol hug. And tell you that you are not alone and I know what you feel.
May God give you strength and comfort, for seasons in life sometimes overwhelm us in dark moments.
We will miss them everyday. But God and time make that heartbreak more bearable.
(HUGS)
But thank you for your concern and taking time out to pm me!
Today is the 5 yr anniversary of my dad's death and tomorrow would have been his 78th birthday.
I still feel like that little girl who misses her daddy! I wonder if I will ever get use to the fact that he is gone! I just can't wait to see him again...
I pray that he is looking down at me and smiling with pride.
I just really miss him!😢
From the old U.S. census, it was common for a daughter who never married to continue to live with her parents. Same with sons who never married or married late in life. Those grown children who did marry and continued to farm carried on the tradition of 10 to 17 children. Thus, many hands to help take care of the older generation.
I did notice those grown children that decided to move to the big city, their families were much smaller, from no children to maybe 3 or 4 children.
Also, I was surprised how many daughters didn't go to school. The sons would go to school but ended at 6th grade.
Grown daughters that did go to school and went on to teaching colleges [2 years], they got jobs as teachers. But once they married, they had to quit their job.
One family had children that were college grads. One brother and sister had masters in chemistry. The brother climbed the corporate ladder, and the sister [equally educated] couldn't do that as that wasn't the norm back then. She was able to be school teacher. She never did marry, lived to be 103, and that was back in the early 1900's.

Oh, Dr. Welby's associate was James Brolin [who is married to Barbra Streisand in real life]

There was a 50% chance of rain last night. HAH!
The rain, thunder and lighting started at midnight and it is still raining at 9 AM. We had pea and dime size hail along with the rain from 12:30 AM until 2:30 AM and then just rain. I sure hope the soybeans and corn crops were not damaged too much. (We own farmland in two different counties.)
The thunder was (and still is) a "rolling thunder"--one continuous thunder that never stops, just changes in intensity. The lighting acted like a flicking light bulb in the sky. It was as though the land and sky were one giant room and the lighting was the ceiling light flicking, but never turning off completely. There were none of the jagged lighting bolts that we are used to seeing in photographs. Just continuous lighting of the land and sky.
One rain gauge had 4 1/4 inches in it and another rain gauge had 3 3/4 inches in it. All since midnight. Guess I don't need to water the new sod that I had put in last week. There is going to be lots of flooding the next few days as the storm travels eastward. 😱

I contacted the FDA regarding my 60+ pounds weight gain after taking Lyrica to treat fibromyalgia (which I lost when I stopped taking Lyrica) and when I experienced an adverse reaction to another medication.
And to help authorities to break decades old crimes as a result. Imagine. Wonder when the show will be cast and broadcast.
How I wished my parents were alive to have taken the same test. It would have been interesting to see if we had the same results.
And I did have a couple of great doctor's like him through the years where they'd spend the time and really care about my health,but not anymore.Now I'm just herded through like a bunch of cows.

All those brilliant US series, and what do we get? "Casualty." Call that escapism? - 'cos I don't. Dilapidated sets, depressed staff and clinical equipment apparently bought in a job lot from Toys R Us, if I want to see that I can just nip down to my local hospital.
My doctor was completely unmoved when I described the experience to him. Gee, what ever happened to bedside manner. Oh to have Marcus Welby as my GP.
Does anyone else remember him or am I dating myself?
With the last one, the reaction was pretty serious, almost like an anaphylactic one, where my heart was racing and I was short of breath. I thought it was because of the bleeding and so did the nurse, but it was determined that it was the med, as my blood counts were somewhat low, but not severe enough to cause shock. At any rate, would have been nice to know what meds to watch out for as it was a pretty scary experience.
So onward, and I'll use some of the poop in my garden, where it will do some good. We used to feed young sickly tomato plants manure tea to make them stronger.
Comment to me all you want. I just had time off. Son from Cal. was here a week, I probably already talked about it, but can't remember! Sleep well. People care about you.
Hugs!!
So thank-you!
