I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
He couldn’t even see anything . That’s the thing . He faints just at the thought of blood .
Oh gosh! Yeah, some men do pass out. Too funny!
DH fainted in the delivery room with our first before I even delivered . For the second they had me in a birthing room . I made DH sit in a chair in the back corner of the room behind my head and ordered him to not get up or to pass out this time. The nurse chuckled .
I hope your DH feels better soon. Don’t you find women tolerate not feeling well better than most men? I can’t imagine how they would handle pregnancy and giving birth! 😆 LOL
You’re right. Personally, I don’t believe anyone who claims that they heard directly from God. I certainly don’t believe someone who is claiming to be God.
Lots of people out there with mental illness who are totally delusional!
DH is sick , bad cold , Covid who knows yet . He is the worst with a man cold .
I can't imagine we would. We can't agree on anything, let alone who might be God.
I watched the crazy documentary on the cult in Crestone, Colorado. It’s a very remote area that attracts ‘new age’ types. This woman and her followers thought that she was God!
She claimed to be reincarnated many times. Very bizarre story, she died young, age 45. Her cult followers took care of her since she refused to go to the hospital for care.
It’s incredibly disturbing to see women and children were being preyed upon by monsters. Blaming the victims is disgusting.
As sounhappy has said about her situation frequently, “Let justice prevail.” No one has the right to take away someone’s dignity and self worth. Justice gives a person their self worth back to them.
Hanging in there.
Sending hugs your way!
Let justice prevail.
We rely on our cell phones for everything! I have a funny story to tell about my experience with my cell yesterday while out running errands.
I was in Walgreens buying my usual stuff. I had to use the restroom and I had my cell phone in my hand because I had been looking at reviews for certain products.
I placed my phone down on the back of the toilet instead of putting it back in my purse. I had three cups of coffee and really had to pee! LOL 😆
I was walking to the car and realized that my purse was lighter than it usually is and thought to myself that I must have forgotten to put the phone back in my purse.
So, I ran back to the bathroom to look for my phone. Some people turn lost items in, others don’t. I was relieved to find my phone in the bathroom.
Our entire lives are on our phones! I no longer have an address book with people’s phone numbers and it would be disastrous to lose my phone. Plus, all of our banking accounts, doctor’s portals, photos, etc. are on our phones.
Nope! Didn't throw it out, keeping it to prove to the youngest generation that phones used to stay home when we left. Such a missed part of life, I dislike the connectedness that everyone thinks should be.
OMlands, I was almost reported missing because I turned ALL of the tech off for Thanksgiving weekend. Who would have thought that not being instantly available would be a problem. We enjoyed it so much, it's going to be a new tradition.
Thanks for catching my typo! Should have read one BATHROOM! Not bedroom.
I didn’t have my own bedroom. We shared bedrooms. Three bedrooms and one bath.
My parents had a bedroom and we shared ours. We had bunk beds.
Only one bedroom for the entire family ?
Or one for your parents and another one for all the kids ?
We had one phone placed in our hallway when I was growing up. Yes, it was a black rotary phone. One of my friend’s had a pink phone in her bedroom that was a more fancy style called a princess phone. I wanted one so badly!
One television in the living room. It wasn’t common for everyone to have televisions or phones in the bedrooms.
Oh, we only had one bedroom in our house, no dishwasher, no garbage disposal, no clothes dryer. Times were simpler then. No air conditioning until much later. My school or church wasn’t air conditioned either.
Oh my gosh! LOL 😆
Live and learn, right?
When I cooked my first turkey I didn’t know to take out the paper that held all of the gizzards and stuff! LOL 😆
Way,
I can believe it! They have no idea what it was like back in the day. They have never lived in a world without modern technology!
When my son was in college he filled the ice cube trays to make ice. My son’s roommate then asked him “ how do you get the ice cubes out? “
The kid never saw anyone twist the plastic . He always had an ice maker at his house .
That kid is now a mechanical engineer Lol.
Congrats on owning a ‘big girl’ phone! You’ll figure it out.
What’s the funniest tech incident that you remember?
I can tell you a funny story about my grandmother.
My dad approached me about helping him select a microwave for my mom. This was many years ago when they first came onto the market for home use.
I helped my father pick one out to give to my mom for Mother’s Day.
I signed my mother up for cooking classes that a home economist gave on microwave cooking.
Mom enjoyed using it to heat up food, cook frozen vegetables and a few other things.
My husband said to me, “Let’s bring some popcorn over to your mom’s house so we can show her that she can make popcorn in her new microwave.” I told him that was a good idea!
My grandmother was sitting at the kitchen table and saw my husband place the paper popcorn bag in the microwave oven.
Grandma got all excited and said to my husband, “Stop! You can’t place a paper bag in an oven. It will burn up!”
Everyone giggled at her remark and we explained to her that paper packaging could go inside of a microwave. She said, “How about that?!”
I often think about what our ancestors would think if they saw the technology that we have today!
They would be amazed seeing smart phones, smart televisions, Ring Doorbells, computer chips in our pets, GPS in our cars and all of the many other conveniences that we have today.
I have my grandmother’s sewing machine that she bought from a door to door salesman! I do have a modern sewing machine now that I use. Hers still operates perfectly well though.
I still marvel at the medical advances that we have today since my grandparents time!
