Compared to the political, sad cancer updates, the “cut and paste this on your page”, the cat and dog posts on facebook, I have to admit I laughed and found your post about finding an orphaned sock a breath of fresh air!
God bless the woman who approached me while standing in the frozen food section trying to get my early dementia dad to remember what frozen dinners my hard to deal with “ he knows what I like” injury- recovering mother likes. I really needed that gentle hug. Her dad died two years ago today.
Boola Boola… Eli Yale.
Don’t respond. Don’t respond. Let it go.
Had lunch with a recent widow (only recently married, also, sadly) on Friday. Her advice to us --make sure your spouse has access to all your passwords and each others’ names on everything.
There’s a reason our bodies weren’t designed to hear our pulse, esp on days when it’s LOUD and tough to drown out with typical background noise like TV/radio and it’s too wet to be going outside and getting other things done. (sigh)
And, I’m sorry, but I have a really tough time scientifically believing that I can hear it due to radiation. To hear one’s pulse there HAS to be an artery close enough to - well - wherever one hears things. How, exactly, does radiation cause that to happen? Those rays can’t push arteries. Give me a $%#! explanation instead of just brushing it aside with a “pat” answer. Trigeminal nerve pain from radiation too… yeah, right. If we could place bets, my bet would be on the same root cause and I highly doubt it was rays by themselves - rays causing something physical, maybe. Would it really kill you to look at the actual blood vessels to see what they were doing instead of telling me I’m crazy for suggesting such a thing? Maybe if you figured out what it was it could be fixed. Maybe not too, but to me it’s worth a try (and it is MY life, remember?).
I think I’d better go play in the rain instead of going crazy on my computer… better life expectancy from merely being wet.
I’m trying to hold on to my positive attitude, but this cycle it is just wearing on me in a major way. Only three left. I can’t IMAGINE having to do more right now. How do people do it? And I don’t even have the really bad side effects. I realize that S being dumped by his GF of over two years when we all thought this was the one for both of them has taken the stuffing out of me. It’s like a divorce. He is devastated, but I admire how he has worked on dealing with it in constructive ways these last weeks. It has been nice to have him home for a while. Now he’s gone, too. So hard to function.
Dear friend; I feel badly that you are struggling, angry and a bit frightened, but he was still married when you began dating. Even though he finally divorced, is it really surprising that you finally figured out he is not trustworthy?
Dear State Licensing Board- if you are requiring all renewals be done online, you might allow for use of an up-to-date browser and not require a plug-in download. 2018 and all…
Will never say a word to you, I promise. I feel a little concerned that you are so dependent on another
person. The comparison between our experiences make me both envious and worried at the same time.
Stop procrastinating and prioritize what’s important! Listen to the people around you whose advice you sought out.
For ONE string of dimensions, the architect shows 55’-8 3/8" in one location and 55’-8 3/4" in another. And in that second location, the individual dimensions add up to 55’-8 7/8". Grr. How am I supposed to do my job when you don’t do yours? It’s not rocket science.
These days, architects come up with incredible 3D models that the client can ooh and ah over, but the drawings aren’t worth you know what.
Just feeling constantly enraged these days.
Sometimes it really sucks to be a non-white in a southern school…not because people discriminate me, but whenever I am in the class where a professor wants the students to discuss something, every one look at each other but never at my direction. I can speak English very clearly, you know.
Why is it that crazy stuff always happens when DH is traveling!
Sure, have your long term employees train your newly acquired offshore employees. Then let’s lay off the seasoned employees, and give the work to my team because the offshore employees can’t handle it yet. In the meantime the stock market has been on a tear since 2010 and you got massive tax cuts, and I have my workload doubled. No company should be that greedy.
Thank you daughter for understanding that while we are doing well financially that we can’t finance everything that comes your way or our way. These are difficult adult choices. You never act spoiled, we are blessed.
Please just accept the fact that this season is not what you wanted it to be. And if you want it to be different next year, then put in the work to make it happen. But it does no good to keep complaining. That will solve nothing.
Oh, my gosh times 100. Ill son agreed to tour a woodworking plant that hires disabled people. One of the main managers was involved with DS in Boy Scouts - his son was in DS’s patrol. DS said he’s not comfortable with the idea of working right now, but the fact that he agreed to a tour is HUGE!!!
Please, please, please don’t change your mind…
Ok Ford, we’ve been with you since our marriage (30 years now) and a little before considering H had a Bronco II that he brought to college. We’ve loved your cars. We’ve loved that you’re an American company having most vehicles made in the US or Canada (my second home). We’ve loved our local dealership. We’ve had no reason to change loyalty.
And now… you’ve discontinued your cars - switching some to made in China/Mexico. The last one we bought - Certified Used less than 2 years old - I really like over all, but it’s had 3 repairs needed. (Uh, we bought it to have something reasonably new and reliable - it’s not reliable when it needs to go to the shop so often.) Now it needs another $900 fix and I’m told it’s a part that would have been under recall except ours was made 5 DAYS before the recall took effect.
If you don’t allow that to be free, we’re switching. Totally. All vehicles we ever get in the future. Our local mechanic told us to check with Toyota or Subaru. He tells us they do things right - very, very few repairs needed - just maintenance.
I don’t know what’s happened to your company, but my loyalty only goes so far and you’ve stretched it to the breaking point. It doesn’t help that we can’t speak with a PERSON about seeing if you’re flexible at all on the date. Oh, we can go to the dealer, but that’s a minimum $85 charge just to check it out. Uh, no. I’ll start vehicle shopping first.
