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.
Thanks for running a wonderful facility that cares for the elderly.
(rant over)
I do think the news is inaccurate, especially now that they leave most dates/yrs off their newslines.
No tornadoes came and got us- thankfully.
My Dad always said we lived in a valley and that's why we lucked out from getting hit,but there was a horrible one in Joplin ,60 miles away ,years ago and it did Alot of damage and was way too close for comfort and that one was super scary.
Anyway,we're ok and thanks~
I was personally attacked by a poster today and one of her remarks was that I was running a business with big fat profit margins. I don’t know the margins of other facilities, but in ours that is totally untrue. Our margin, as owners is so low that neither myself, my husband or father draw a salary. We never have. We put our profits back into our facility - new equipment, extra staff, etc.
Prayers Luckylu!
Keep Colorado in your thoughts, please. It is so depressing brings tears to my eyes so hard on those people and animals directly impacted.😞
Come on colder weather and tons and tons of snow! Got some overnight but not in the most needed areas. Time to get out winter sweaters. High to be in the 20's through the weekend and into next week.
Yes, Cwillie, there is a lag. And I cannot explain what it is, but my computer is just not right.
Our electricity at home was out this morning when we woke up, it is back on.
Then really active earthquakes in Alaska, and even though we did not feel them, it is disconcerting to hear of so many, so large, and at first a possible Tsunami warning on the coast, which was cancelled.
I think the one thing that bothered me the most was a sickening post 😳🤮🙈😩😫😱on social media, causing me to 'hide' post, see less; snooze person for 30 days; then unfriend; next, go Block that family member!
All I can think of right now is to put on my jammies and go to bed early.
Hoping everyone here tonight gets some good sleep, a restful sleep, with a new start on Tuesday morning. (or whatever morning it is for you all over the world).
Hope you get your News Feed working CW.
Will start working on Christmas orders tomorrow.
Take care!
I realize mine is not such a bad situation but it has been going on for more than 10 years... With ups and downs but I was feeling hard to carry the responsability of my mom's health on my shoulders for so long.
I read something which explains perfectly what I mean:
A psychology teacher showed a glass to the class. Everybody thought it was again the half full/half empty glass story. Instead the teacher asked how much it weighted. Every body tried to answer... The teacher explained its weight depended on how long you hold it.
Well, my glass is not so heavy but I have been holding it for nearly 11 years!
I am now allowing myself to take a little time to rest.
For example, I want to save the "How to care for myself while aging (late 70s)?" There are so many good ideas, suggestions, and advice that I want to refer back later when I need. But how can I find it easily, or even remember that it's there? A few months from now, it will be buried in the jungle of threads under the "Following" category.
Wish there can be another category called "Saved" so you can save just the threads you want.
Agingcare admin, how about that?
Okay, that surely explains an awful lot. Looking at it from that perspective is telling.
Perhaps that is why your niece was stand-offish. She most likely felt awkward.
She’s young and doesn’t have the life experience to understand these situations and remained quiet.
Your brother wants to offer his daughter his best. I get that. I also get that sometimes people need a little help to get over a hump. He is trying to avoid paying back expensive student loans so he asked your dad for help.
Fine, but he didn’t even consent to visit your mom’s grave. That is a shame and I don’t blame your dad for being upset about it.
Your dad has a beautiful heart so it doesn’t surprise me that he is willing to provide for his grandchild.
He doesn’t want his grandchild to be left out. How sweet and quite generous of your dad.
He has no vengeance in his heart. There is a special special place in heaven for people like your dad. Don’t you think?
Another fire is out!
