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.
It is stifling, zaps my energy. It’s very difficult to be outside when it is so hot. It doesn’t cool down at night either. The sun goes down but the humidity doesn’t.
Best air-conditioner/heater I have ever used. Not to mention they are super energy efficient.
okey-dokey...
here's one... (not exactly a very cheerful one)

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.
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!
So sorry to hear of your GMs passing.
Sorry for the loss of your grandmother .
I’m so sorry for your loss. Wishing you peace as you grieve.
May The Lord give you grieving mercies, strength and comfort during this difficult time.
96 is a long life indeed but a hip # in that age group can fatal.
May she rest in peace.
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.
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).
From what you have said about R, he is a gem!
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.
Now, I think being 30 is so young!
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!
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!
Love the flat tire story, so funny !!
When my hubs was in his last year of college he was able to stack all his classes on Mon, Wed , Fridays. He worked as a bank teller Tues, Thurs, Saturdays .
One day hubs came in late to work , dirty and wet from changing an old man’s tire in the rain . Hubs had recognized the old man as a customer who came to the bank every Friday wearing a suit ( even though he was retired ) and he would talk to the bank manager .
The bank manager yelled at DH for being late , would not let hubs explain just sent him to the drive up window .
Alittle while later the old man came in and told the bank manager how the new young male teller helped him. After that the bank manager was thrilled . Apparently the old man was filthy rich with alot of money in that bank .
Another time DH was late getting back from his lunch break , he stopped to change a pregnant woman’s tire . The bank manager told him he should keep an extra change of clothes in his car if he’s going to keep doing this . The woman was also a customer at the bank and she would come to my hubs drive up window every week . The woman’s husband and his family owned multiple kitchen appliance/ TV stores on our island . The woman’s husband came into the bank and gave my hubs our first VCR free for changing his wife’s flat !!
I hope that you feel better soon.
