Gershun. Never give up hope. We also have the Pirates. No need to say more. They haven won a World Series since I graduated high school. 1979. I just googled Vancouver   They went to the finals in 2011.  Much better odds than the Buccos ( pirates).  You guys have a chance

Send Help if the Steelers moved to LA. I imagine , no strongly believe I'd be moving there too if I wanted to remain married. Not kidding. But ya the hot dogs at Heinz Field are great. We actually had Italian food tonight. It was good.

I used to be a hockey fanatic. My Mom was my hockey buddy. We would get together for almost every game. Since she passed my heart hasn't been in it as much but I hope they will win the cup one day before I die. Please...........hockey Gods!!!

Try not to fool ourselves! Just received a postcard--"We are on vacation" postcard. In my caregiver support, two were going on vacation! How do they do that? No, really, how?
One was taking their Mom, another was not.
Inquiring minds want to know.
My vacay is almost here, when I close my eyes tonight.

My husband lives and dies for Steelers and Penguins. As a result I follow hockey and football more than I ever imagined. He replays recorded games of both teams a few times a week. Yes he has no life. Lol. But I don't think Vancouver plays here that often. Best of luck to Canucks. !!!!

Oh yes, Sid the kid! Yeah, he's still the best. You guys still have the Stanley Cup there in Pittsburgh and I'm from Vancouver so if you follow hockey at all I guess you know we probably won't be getting that cup anytime soon. :(

No onions for me, grilled onions and chilies for hubs.
Double double for both, his was protein style.
No fries for me, animal style for him.
Water for me, strawberry shake for hubs.
New idea, put the rootbeer together with the vanilla shake!
No more double doubles.

Did you MsMadge?

Is that what salads do Gershun?  Moan, oh, now I understand.  I thought it was the chocolate protein bar.  I heard we should all be fasting the day of the eclipse, to avoid feeling out of sorts.

Erin, you found the fun!  Isn't Steelers the ones who just moved to L.A.? lol, probably not, its ok.  I don't follow too much sports but always get impressed by those that do!  Welcome!  What did you have for dinner?  I am very interested in the hot dogs sold at the games.  Pittsburg Steelers!

Did you get grilled onions on your double double, Send?

Chili peppers or root beer or real vanilla shake?

Go Steelers! That's football, right? ...............Just kidding, I know it is.

Here in Canada, hockey is the main sport. Two more months before it starts again.

I've actually turned into a rabbit.........I'm sprouting ears, a fluffy tail...........all because I eat too much salad. Plus eating nothing but salad causes constipation, at least with me it does. So bring on the hamburger, extra fries, and milkshakes. (at least for tonight) :)

Dinner is over, it was great!
Hubs found a new way to order fries, animal style. Fries, melted cheese and grilled onions on top (minus the spread), we don't want spread x1, we don't want spread x2 @ window to pay, we dont' want spread- x 3 - -handing back the mess with spread on it.

Not an ideal way to increase his calories-he has the best cholesterol reading-but you can only eat just so much salad, bunny.

"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."

That is why I like to post here often....anything on my mind....which is a lot lately!!!

News headline: Elderly xxxxxx Woman Assaulted

The OPP was called to a home in xxxxxx on Thursday just before 1pm in the afternoon.

Police says they were told that on Wednesday evening, a 92-year-old woman was watching television in her bedroom when her grandson came in and struck her on the back of the head with his hand.
The assault was unprovoked, and the victim wasn’t hurt.
The grandson was living at her home.
She called the police the next morning.

Good for her!!

Ahh, I just poured a second cup too

In n out is sounding pretty good or maybe a roast beef and cheddar with avocado sandwich on crusty sour dough with some cole slaw

Wish I felt up to a drive to Fairfax and Canter's deli - I think it's still open 24 hours a day

Is this now the 'what's for dinner' thread????

When you cannot garden properly, one must garden on the dysfunction thread, imo.

As for me, I am having a second cup of coffee now.

Thanks for that excellent idea, MsMadge!
We already spent our entire eating out budget this month, and then some.
If I am not more careful right now, it could jeopardize physical therapy.
However, he is happier with In n Out! That is less expensive. So, yes,
at least we will be eating out this early evening, soon as he gets off work.

Praying for you and Mom! Hugs!
You deserve all the hugs you can get!

MsMadge,
The big one may be used to people and being fed. It's last victim might be absent for awhile, hospitalized with rabies. After I squirted ours, it is still in the neighborhood, but never in my yard. I beep the car locks before going out at night.

Cwillie,
Maybe it is them that are confused?  Or, they are messing with us.  People who like order are easy targets. I am now liking the threads that don't have a topic rule, such as General Topics or Caregivers Behaving Badly. For me, it is a good lesson in lightening up, giving up control, and Lmao.
Hoping the confusion passes after the eclipse. Can we blame it on the eclipse, where the animals behave funny? Maybe people too. I am confused too, but I am liking  it. ha ha ha.!!

My hubs is up to something, or just behaving weird!  It calms me to see that other people are doing the same.  It might be something simple, like losing his glasses but he won't tell me about it for weeks!  So, even though my antennae is up, on high alert, I've got this!  I will find out soon, but just don't care right now.  It is the planets and universe to blame until after the eclipse, I hope.

Two days ago he walked into a new doctor's office on his own (because they took walk-ins) and got himself a prescription for allergy eye irritation and flonase.  The eye Rx has a steroid in it as well as antibiotics. Flonase is also a steroid.
Yesterday, I saw him grab something and put it in his pocket-it was artificial sweetener, how is that supposed to be a secret?  Today I found a new product with propane 2-oil, and label says 99.9 % 
isopropyl alcohol,  from China, banned in California for use unless it is diluted, highly flammable, but available on amazon.
As long as we are talking about recipes, is this the recipe to make meth, or maybe a bomb?  Not likely, but maybe I should call the fire dept. hazmat team?  BTW, he has lost another 5 lbs.
An adult male @ 145 lbs?  Cannot afford another new work wardrobe.  So happy to be able to stick my head in the sand now, or blame it on the planetary effects, or just simple paranoia!
Mwah ha ha ha! Don't worry anyone-I am really into protecting the public's safety, and my own.

I won't be inviting the possum in for a late night snack

When the raccoon and I spotted each other we both stopped in our tracks - when I clapped my hands he didn't flinch and he was big

Checking batteries and changing light bulbs and anything involving a step stool is a pain but I try to replace the batteries around Halloween time - some of the detectors are so old that I should probably replace them entirely

The motion sensor light on the garage isn't working too well either and lately when I get home from hoca in the wee hours there have been critters about that always seem to like to run up the driveway as I'm pulling in
