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.
I unplugged it to reset it, we will see. This is a top load machine. I hate front load machines, they do not drain completely (start to stink) and stooping down to load and transfer to washer is too hard on my back!
Me: Watcha doing?
Mom: (licks her finger and presses it to the floor)
Me: Mom, what're doing?
Mom: (shuffles an inch or two, then licks her finger again and presses it to the floor).
Me: Mom?
Mom: Would you let me finish?
Me: Finish what?
Mom: Mopping up the floor.
Me: 😶
He started his meds, has an immediate response.
Rewarded with a Smart Watch that monitors even his b/p, sends alerts.
Relieved.
Dr. Internet and I are tracking his symptoms-all seem to point to his thyroid.
We got some Heritage eggs, light blue/green, with a deep yellow yolk. Mixed in a dozen of dark brown eggs.
Jimmy Fallon is doing jokes on The Tonight Show about the price of eggs. LOL 😆
Lots of people out here buying chickens to produce their own eggs.
CW, I absolutely detest crowded shopping experiences! When I go i.leave by 8am at the latest to avoid crowds. The drawback? Sometimes the shelves are not completely stocked yet.
it sends my weight to the office
Prices are also high everywhere because minimum wage went up. And that causes the domino affect as every step up the company had to increase those wages. Who pays for this, the consumer with higher prices for goods and services.
I had to work 20 years to reach the minimum wage that young people are now getting today. But I am sure my Dad said the same about my beginning salary back in the 1960's :)
It is called a loss leader, and is very good. Much better than at the markets.
I do the same. I freeze lots of things.
We are paying more and more for groceries. I am glad that we aren’t big eaters!
I usually roast my own chicken but sometimes buy a rotisserie chicken. At least we can get several different meals from one chicken.
Someone is making out like bandits!
Some think it is highly exaggerated.
And I guess that.my spell check or the site do not like the word collusion I changed it twice from spell check changing it to collision. But, it was changed back, somehow. Maybe admin?
Can everyone see my angry face emoji? Some emojis that some of you post my Kindle Fire device cannot read.
barb - let us know how you are.
natasana - what a tricky person you are!!!
Mom's bath aide: Let's go get a nice warm shower to warm you up.
Mom: I'm about to freeze to death! (Mom points to me) SHE keeps this house freezing, then turns the heat up just before you get here so you won't know.
Me: 😶
I've found myself change in this respect, as the years have gone by and getting older. I've found myself getting annoyed or irritated quicker than when I was younger, is this normal?
It's silly stuff like:
* things not fitting into the box they came out of.
* getting labels off things, wondering why manufacturers don't make it easy to peel off.
* I put on thing down on a table, it falls and the domino effect knocks the glass of water down, make the remote control fall, then a clean up operation. I suppose that's just being clumsy :)
* recent years is the juggle of face masks, with my spectacles getting caught in the strings. Obviously the glasses getting steamed up while wearing a mask is a given.
* Even taking off pants and them getting bunched up and caught on the feet.
* taking a bunch of keys out of you pocket and find the sharp end of key ring getting caught in the pocket lining.
* not being able to find the open end of plastic freezer bags.. then my hands are too dry to pulls sides apart.
When these things irritate me, I get annoyed at the manufacturers of products, thinking why can't just make things to be less annoying, design them better. Like a remote control that's curve on the bottom side, so when you change the channel, pressing the button just make it slide on the table, it it was flat on the bottom it wouldn't slide.
I bet half of things are more annoying because of other bigger problems people have going on in their minds.
That’s tough to deal with. I am so sorry. You are entitled to whine.
Falls are horrifying. I remember the stress of going through my mother falling.
