Title: Tis Thursday
Post by: Barb on May 04, 2023, 06:32:00 AM
Good morning all, this is my 3rd and last post, 2 have disappeared, beyond frustrating.  I never have this happen anywhere else.  I am OK so far, exposed to Covid while in a car with a friend for 3 hrs on Tuesday.  I have 24 more hours to go before I can feel safe. Sure hope my 5 vaccs work.  This lady told me she had just gotten over a little cold.  But took a test later that day and it was positive.

Before this disappears too, I wish you all a good day and see ya later here.

Hi muggers!...

Cool snap here for today and tomorrow...hi is 78 both days...! Then back to 80s and 90s...

My new solid red guppies...the female dropped about 20 fry   male died...I guess fatherhood Wa s'more than he could handle :D :D :D

Speaking of fatherhood...we got a call from our daughter that her ex (our granddaughters's dad) committed suicide yesterday...his wife had recently had a stroke and is on a ventilator with little hope of regaining consciousness...Thomas was totally destroyed and full of self pity...granddaughter and he had a somewhat estranged relationship, and he called her several days ago unloading on her about how he hated God and God was doing this to him, etc,...It shook her up a bit and she had some emotional strife over the call...she's a newly married 24 year old...dumping on her like that was a bad thing to do and now this!!! >:( >:( >:(  I should mention that he was a recovering addict who used to do hot shots...some serious shit...but thru NA "found God" who was being so good to him by giving him his new wife...my guess is he went back to the drugs and did it that way...we'll know more in a few days...his home is Louisiana and my granddaughter is in Wa...I did not care much for him to begin with...

Ok, now I've dumped my thoughts on you...thanks for reading!i...I'll show myself to the door ;)

We're playing cards in Florence this afternoon after a fellow picks up his order of plants today...

Have a good day muggers! |^|

This is my second try.  It's frustrating when I write a long post and Poof it's gone.

How terrible for your grand daughter to be dumped on by someone who he's pretty much estranged from.  It was unfair of him.  I do hope he died of an OD of IV drugs.  At least he would have gone peacefully. 

As far as you dumping on us, that's what we are for.  We're all good friends and care about one another.  I actually dumped on Lowell when he was here to pull blood from Big Head.  He and I have been close friends fir years, and he could see the misery I was in yesterday.

Today I'm finally feeling better.  It was pretty bad for the past 2 days.  I have no idea why it happens that way.  It just does.

I made a Styrofoam run this morning and afterward of course went dumpster diving.  A very nice guy offered to help me which I appreciated greatly.  He told me that his mother has rheumatoid arthritis bad.  He had it too but not nearly as bad since he is still young.  That's why he is the cook at the restaurant that owns the dumpster.  It's not as physically demanding as the other jobs open to him.

I stopped by the supermarket.  I was out of Earl Grey tea.  Then I was off to the beer store where I stocked up on my vices, and then back home.  I'm making shrimp fried rice and I started to late.  Everything is ready to go but the rice.  I'm hungry now since I'm feeling so much better, but my lunch is going to be dinner because I'll have to do WC soon.  I'm lucky in that I can put my hunger aside and eat when I can.

Congrats on the fry, Ron.  Barb, if you get Covid I hope that it like your friend's was.

Take care all.  I'm looking forward to see what Willie has going on.

Ron, so sorry for all the family stress now.  Hope things settle down and everyone will be OK a bit later on.  Liz is right, we are all here for each other to dump on.  Liz, glad you are feeling better today.  My friend Kay who I have spoken to you about, deals with more pain than you do and nothing helps, not even narcotics.  She is waiting for an implant into her spinal column to help some of it, but no guraratees.  I think it is called a spinal cord stimulator.  Have you heard of this?  Wires go up the spine to deaden nerves.  So far I feel just fine, sure hope Covid doesn't come knocking here.

Barb, I go to the pain doctor June 1st.  I'll ask her about it.  Do you have any idea if the procedure is covered my my Medicare supplement.  I bet it isn't.

Good evening everyone. It sounds like everyone has something going on today. I've been busy working outside of the house a little today. Mostly getting rid of weeds while the ground was soft from all of the rain we got. I moved slowly so I wouldn't hurt myself and it went pretty good.

Ron that is horrible news about your daughter's ex. Hopefully he went peacefully for your family's sake.

Barb I hope you escaped the Covid bug. I sure wouldn't want to get it again. As a matter of fact I still wear a mask in crowded indoor places. I remember not too long ago that someone I was standing in front of had a coughing fit and I felt some of the spray hit my neck. It freaked me out.

Liz I am glad to hear that you are feeling a little better. I hope it last you for a while.

You all have a great evening.
