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.
On one episode of "Call the Midwife" Sister Monica Jean had cleared out a flower bed and carefully planted dandelions!

i think it would tip the scales and send the crackheads running for the forest - sans - vehicle ..
Can she transfer with a slide board?
For doctor appointments, you might be able to get one of the paratransit vehicles through the local public transit company, but that doesn't provide for those "just pleasure" family rides.
I have a Toyota Solara Convertible and absolutely love it. Living here in Florida, I got to drive with the top down quite a bit. I looked for a long time to find it and enjoy it so much. However, now I don't drive it that often and have to pay registration and insurance in a vehicle that I don't need and rarely drive. I could easily sell it in its current condition for about $10,000. The reasonable part of me says, sell it, put the money in the bank, and save money on insurance and expenses.
The other part of me says, this is the only thing you have ever done for yourself and even if you only drive it once a week, it is worth it for the enjoyment it gives you. You deserve to keep this car.
Imo.
I'm ok with it for now...but I sure would like to have a regular vehicle to drive again.
He had been on a trip, caught and early flight, DIDN'T tell me, even though I had texted him early that day and ASKED HIM if he was possibly coming home or did I needs to cancel his drs appt. He never said. (I must state here that he spent 6 hours on FB while in the various airports, so he certainly COULD have called.) The car was a rental, I had dropped HIS car off to get some bodywork done.
He actually yelled at me for "not hearing him" and "locking myself in the house".
MUCH later, he sort of apologized but now has "forbidden me" from locking the outside glass door. Seriously?? I am alone 90% of the time and this is common sense. I told him he couldn't boss me and went about my business.
Wow. Is he going to be a pain in the rear when he retires next year.
BTW, I sleep with earplugs because he is nearly deaf and the TV has to be on FULL volume and even downstairs in my room I can hear it. Also, he called ONCE on the landline and ONCE on my cell phone. At 12:52.
Oh, joy. A deaf, angry husband. My kids think he is showing signs of dementia...I don't even want to go there.
Uhm, I get why you wear the earplugs when he is at home, but why are you wearing them when he is away?
in the usa we use gunfire to stir our drinks , clean plaque off our teeth , summon a waiter , etc . we cant imagine life without guns ..
Didn't mean to stir any pots, I was just so mad. No place else to B$#C*!
I sleep with earplugs and have for years. Just habit. If I had suspected he was coming home, I wouldn't have locked the glass privacy door.
It's just telling about the lack of communication we are experiencing and the monster I have coddled and created in this man.
It wasn't my fault. If it were, I would have said so if it was. He just thinks I can read his mind.
And we own a SHOTGUN, which I cannot load, hold, aim nor shoot. I hate guns. When Obama was re-elected my hubby bought this stupid thing. Just because he could. I did tell him "If you'd have bought me the handgun you want me to own I am pretty sure I would have shot through the door at you".
BTW--my backyard neighbor (ex-cop) heard all the ruckus and was standing on his back deck, gun raised and aimed to shoot. He literally has my back. (Hubby is 6'5" tall and weighs 300 lbs. He looks quite scary in the moonlight.
ive an uncle in texas . hes a renowned maniac but one time he was visiting indiana and him and i drank beer while i built a barrel stove with a . 22 rifle . watch and learn old man . i probably punched 30 ea 1/4 inch holes . if you dont want the bullet to exit the other side you just lay a couple hunks of firewood inside the 55 gallon barrel .
so , he went back to texas with some " hoosier " stories ..
since the squirrels want to compete with me for my house i just knock em all out of the sky . the slow . 22 pellet travels slow and " heavy " . it spins em like errant lawnmower blades out of the tree .
not a garage invader ? tell it to saint peter , personally i dont give a shat .
Then of course we've all heard the stories about bullets getting caught in the chamber when Daddy thinks he has unloaded it properly and next thing he knows his son shot his brother accidentally cause of course he thought the gun was unloaded. I don't know...........:(
senator tallion sent me an email yesterday . she wants citizen support for weed decriminalization . i wrote back and told her that shes a bit late in this effort . we need solutions for hard drug addiction , underemployment and poverty right now .
well we send clueless rich kids to DC to represent us . what do we expect ?
just stepped out the backdoor to pee and had the opportunity to give a racoon a " lead " immunization .
these critters have done damage to my house .
it ON ..
I don't like racoons or possums either, but I don't think I'd shoot one, you can get traps for them I hear!
We don't own guns, but I'm all for the rights to bear arms, for protection!
We've been very lucky, we've never had a break in, or intrusion! Fingers crossed!
One time, while I was recovering from having just had a hysterectomy, our next door neighbor unknowingly let a friend come to stay with him. It seems that this FRIEND had had a domestic altercation with girlfriend the night before, where a gun was involved, though he did not shoot her, just threatened her. Well, the police were called, as this guys car was parked out front, and my entire neighborhood, as well as the nearby elementary school was on lockdown, and cordoned off. There were helicopters in the air, a full on man hunt! Swat teams with dogs, were all over my neighborhood, and it was all over the news, BREAKING NEWS STORY. From the helicopter news coverage, I could tell it was right next door. A SWAT police officer came to my door, saying to lock all doors and windows, close my drapes and stay away from the windows. My husband had gone to work, but I called him to come back, but the streets were closed off. A TV news reporter interviewed my husband at the corner, and he told the news guy "my wife is home recovering from a major surgery, she's scared to death, and she's all MESSED UP ON PAIN MEDS!" So then I see my husband on TV news, And What He Said about Me, I was so embarrassed, Mortified, and So Pissed Off at Him!!! The police received authorization from the home owner to search the house, as he was at work too, and they found out that the perpetrator guy was hiding in the attic, and then they dropped tear gas down into my neighbors roof vents. I'm watching all of this unfold on the news, via helicopter coverage. It was intense! The guy came out, coughing and barfing and tears running down his face, it was insane! Then the fire department had to come out with big bloweres to air out the neighbors house. So that's my Crazy, Scary Neighborhood story! Lol!!! We've never had another strange or scary incidence since though! I still haven't forgiven my husband for telling the News guy all of that though! Grr, what a DumbA**!!!
MIDKID, my husband does the same sort of thing, blames Me for things that are So Clearly His Fault! Husband's are from Mars! Grr!!!
