Ok, I will try. But I am so filled with thoughts tonight, I don't know if I can sleep. I would count sheep, but I already know how many there are. Maybe I will count the people on the bus. Haven't done a head count lately. They are all sleeping. Should be easy.
If I'm having trouble falling asleep, I say a few Hail Marys and then find it easy to go to sleep...

Honestly, take some time in the day for a reflection of what one must do tomorrow, what one did right and wrong today...preferably in prayer, otherwise, you will have all those thoughts at bedtime.
Sounds like you had a particularly distressing night hope things get better soon

Fell asleep around 3:30. Thanks for all the suggestions, friends. Rosaries are the best sleep aide. And think about it. If I die in my sleep, it's nice to know that my last words were ones of prayer.
On my way. No more pussyfooting around. Just do it. Gnight all. I'll leave a light on for ya. Don't stay up all night then wonder why you can't get anything done! Like me.
This makes me think of an ongoing thread on the other forum called '04:00 Post'. Everyone who was still up at 4:00 am would post. Oddly, it's got 28 pages. Insomniacs Rule!!! :coffee: :lol: 8)
I do hope you are getting your rest Carleendiane. :grouphug:

Awww. :) St. Therese often used to fall asleep during her mental prayer. She called it "the prayer of St. Peter." Lol.
Read anything written by JP2. Out like a light.
Ok. So I'm going to bed early. Hopefully I'll actually sleep through. I wake up about 3 hrs after falling asleep. Then spend hours trying to fall back to sleep. Good time to pray, but sometimes I get too frustrated after a while of trying. Not asking for remedy, just complaining. Sometimes I can get very personal with God. But usually I just get caught up thinking about all that is worrisome and it takes forever to shut it off. Many times I watch the sun come up. Grrrrrrr...
I hear you..my brain does that too. I wish the mind came with an "off" switch!
I went to bed early and slept quite well, thank you! Bad dream towards morning.

I think I'm gonna stay up late, like 10:30 or so. Besides I had wine. Will have to rid my self of it before sleep. And yes Lynne. Do say your prayers. And if you feel so inclined, you know where I'll be in the morning. Remember. Blueberry is my favorite. Just sayin..... plus I don't like bagels. But I love coffee.
Ches, if you'd go to sleep earlier I wouldn't have to wait so long to say good morning.
On my way. Goodnight you night owls. Meet ya'll at the coffee pot for a "good morning". Now...don't be annoyed, you don't have to respond. Just bring the coffee.

On your way, Lynne? I'll be sleeping by 10. No one to entertain me here. Dymphna.....you in your easy chair? Well, go to bed. You might actually sleep. Hope your dumb head doesn't keep you up. Ches, I know you cat nap but just maybe a full nights sleep for you. Non nobis, you have an hour. Everyone pray. First one up makes the coffee. Second one up dumps it and makes fresh. Don't leave it on the burner too long. I'll be getting up whenever hubby does, so if you're an early bird, don't expect company. 7:00 is great. 6:30 is acceptable. Now don't start bragging about how early you get up. REALLY! Would you if you didn't have to? Be honest.
So, if I don't go to sleep for 3 or 4 days (as is my tendency to do), does that qualify me as being first one up? Also, do you all really want someone who doesn't drink coffee, ever, making your morning cup o' joe? Just clarifying. 8)

Nope. No thanks to you making coffee. Besides you would be too tired to get measurements right. So no.
Dymphna, forgive me for using the bed thread to communicate with you. Wait.....your the one who started this. Any way, Lynne said we can't talk in the night thread in the morning. Lynne said.
?oing. Gotta.
Winding down. Hope to be turning in soon. Took my melatonin. ten o'clock seems a good time to turn in. Kaese, don't stay up all night. You know coffee beer seems like an oxymoron. one relaxes, another excites.How can that make sense? I'll have to think on it. Or, sleep on it.

nice I wish we were turning in baby's awake he thinks it's playtime and our 6 year old is cuddled up in the middle of our bed nothing wakes this kid up, hell sleep through the chastisement.. got my biPAP thing on he calls me "Darth Dad"
This is a sweet thread.
In addition to melatonin, I find magnesium to be wonderful for a good night's sleep :)
Good night, dear friends of Christ.
Some of you are just getting warmed up at this time, I know Kase is. I've had my wine. Not ready to sleep yet. Too entertained by Greg and Louis's exchange and Penelope's choice of attire for her class reunion she's not even sure why she's attending.Even if Ches is sleeping now that doesn't mean he will be in an hour.
I'm just warming up the go to bed thread. Already said rosary with husband who is nowhere near ready to turn in. My dog is though. He's exhausted. I wish I were a dog sometimes. Not often, but geesh, they just conk out anywhere. Its not fair. No wine, no melatonin, no wrestling with sleep. Plus he never has to get up during the night! Never. Plus he always looks cute in the morning. No bedhead.

Ches, you can be the responder tonight. Who knows, there could be threads going up with no one to respond to them. .People may be out or already asleep. Leave no thread unanswered! It's an important job, but someone has to do it.
I'm awake, recovering from norovirus.
Just warming up the go to bed thread. Of course it's too early, but though it could use some revving up.

Oh yes, she worked the last one didn't she? Maybe that was a rally for Democrats. Anyway, good mom you have. Jack of lanterns. I used to love cutting them out. Daughter grew her own pumpkins. I have never grown pumpkins. Love pumpkin pie. Do they bake and salt the seeds? We used too. Sounds like a pleasant evening, Ches.
Winding down. Not time yet. Eating some ice cream. Right before bed. I know I'll regret it. Tomorrow. Not tonight.
Anxiously awaiting another good night's sleep. Maybe Dymphna will sleep tonight. That 4:00 thread has to be a tough one to keep going. Maybe some night I will pop in on my way back from the bathroom. Don't wait up for me dymphna!
Looking forward to going to bed...
2 hours to go...
I haven't even had dinner yet. You must all be in Europe! :D
Quote from: Stella Maris on October 11, 2016, 05:09:40 PM
I haven't even had dinner yet. You must all be in Europe! :D
Stella EAT! Not European. Just your ordinary small farm barons. We get tired chopping wood and sowing winter wheat. Stacking and properly storing our wood and kindling is quite mentally and physically demanding. Do you have any idea how taxing it is to keep up appearances in farm country? Keeping the place looking groomed as well as yourself? Oh the big farmers can look worn out and a bit tattered. The small farmers have to look good AND be attractive. The big farmers are expected to show up at Tractor and Supply in their bib overalls but if all you have is a small little farm, you have to look like your having fun and just playing farmer. It's a hard life. We go to bed exhausted. Someday we'll move out and leave the place to our boys and find a place requiring very little upkeep. But until then, we will play the game of small farmer and pour ridiculous amounts of energy into our little piece of heaven, which is what it is. Just lovely.
Now if none of the above made sense, Stella, don't worry. It was part rant and part excuse for going to bed before 11. You are in college. You are expected to stay up late and pour over books. As it should be.We on the other hand are just a bit older and more worn out. And maybe a bit stupid.
Not in bed yet! Just wrapping things up. Tooth hurts. Trying to ignore. Second thought, maybe should get some advil. Could be a long nite. I may see you tonight ,Dymphna. 4:00 thread! Probably not. I am kinda wimpy. Just go to bed. Ok. I will.
12:12. Gone to bed. Checking out. Leaving a nite light on. Goodnight all!

For all those turning in early, a heart goodnight! Hope you day went well. Ches, I hope you sleep tonight For all those getting up early, put the pot on. Then pour it into a decanter. Did I say I hate burned coffee? Or yesterday's coffee? Don't go pulling ether on me. I'll know. If you get up early, could you water my animals? They get so thirsty.

took your advice.. sort of. Cat napped and then saw it when I woke up. That's almost the same tho right
Gearing down. Drank my wine. Read the new posts. Yep winding down. Ches, where you been today? What? No good morning? Well, not in bed yet. There's still time to set things straight! Spent the day cleaning, cooking. No fun times today. Nose to the grind stone.
Tire day today need to "conserve my Chi" for my family and my my son wants to watch a movie but I don't know there might of been a middle-age woman ina sleeveless shirt in it or something I fell sleep in the middle of it and that was it he went to bed I'm awake

Ches, you fell asleep while looking out for sleeveless or tight pants? He may never be the same!
That time again. This happens all the time. Really, do we need all this sleep? Evidently our 4:00 posters do not.
Had my wine- check
brush my teeth-
Washed my face-
Put on pjs-
Yep, just about ready
But it's too early. Guess I could do those things unchecked. Are they necessary? I mean I'll sleep just as well, except it's too earl. If I go to bed now, I may end up an early bird. Who wants a worm anyway?

you might not get a worm but might be up in time to get a muffin
That depends on Lynne. I have no muffins here. But, I do have homemade bread for making toast. All is well. Ches, breathing any easier? Will offer my pulled tooth tomorrow for you, and a wonderful friend I have who is in need of some sleep. Air and sleep. Worthy causes.
I CAN'T GO TO BED. There are crumbs in my bed. Dinner. Hey, it was cold in the house! Truth.
Alright. Just go to bed. But you don't know what you're missing. My brother is here. Yes, we had him for dinner. Good meal. Now drinks.
Alright, Lynne. You would have liked my brother. He was a tasty chunky dinner. See what you missed?

try lavender essential oil drops on a pillow. one drop on a pillow will lull him to sleep. It works for me. Just don't let it near eyes as it is very potent and concentrated.
Red wine and turkey.
Did you all go to bed last night? The 4 o'clock lurkers make me a little uneasy. I could be missing some amazing posts during the night!
8:43. Anyone getting ready to turn in? I'm not a baby. I can wait till ten. Anyway, I have things to do yet. Like finish my wine.
I feel like sleeping but my glasses are on. Kids and Mrs are sleeping. Something weird about sleeping in your glasses
Ches, you up? Don't let the Michelin man party tonight. He's already getting out of hand. Just explain you and Mrs C's need for sleep. If he is bright like the rest of the family, he'll listen. Remember who's the boss! Don't let him wrap you around your finger.
I see you're up Ches. Now about your glasses. Just back up you wheel chair and ram into the wall... your glasses will fall off and you can go to sleep without them!
This is funny.

Not sure if I will watch debate.. Mrs is working the debate tonight while baby stays with Grandma. Thank heaven for grandmas.
I am going to watch at least part of it.
Spera, you are brave. I just cant. I'd rather chew glass! It just gives me anxiety. The debate I mean.
I took my melatonin, with wine. Maybe I will just sleep through this. my skin is crawling. My head hurts. See you in the morning. My dog is settled in for the night. By the bed. Almost as good as a .45.
Goodnight all. Turn the lights off for me please. Ches, you have no one to remove glasses! Wife at debate!
I watched the debate but it surely raised my blood pressure. I won't even tell you what I've done when Poland lost to Germany in 2008 World Cup group stage. Well I will:
I smashed the department door frame glass and it shattered to pieces and then broke the toilet seat ;D I know I am a hothead, well only in theory now because in practice I wouldn't use my fist to break another window again. After loosing so much weight my hands are too skinny and I would probably brake something of my own. I was about 18 back then so you know young and wild. ;)
Good night by the way.

Well Martin, I am happy you are no longer a hothead. Doors are not cheap you know! And toilet seats don't grow on trees, you know! Your wild days are behind you and you now are a nice even tempered young man ; ) So now that you're skinny......with skinny hands....you can't throw fits anymore, so you use words to express yourself. That is very encouraging for young hotheads. Except for the skinny part. : ) Happy you join in on "go to bed" and "good morning". Now go to bed. *joking*
Non nobis, you really should be turning down the bed you only have about 25 minutes before you turn into a pumpkin. Really loving your posts.
Dymphna, you better not be up at 4 am. You know how crabby you can get.
Ches, don't forget to have someone take your glasses off.
Munda, don't try to sleep on your stomach. You know what could happen.

:lol: I probably shouldn't laugh at this, but it's so...
nuts! :rofl: Iirc, there's a business where you go in, pay a fee, and get to go into a room and break stuff for a set amount of time. I think with a baseball bat or instrument of your choice. Sounds like a good idea, after reading this.
Carleen and Bernadette there is a small typo in my last entry so let me make a correction here: I broke a window glass in our apartament's door not a department door. :laugh: I wouldn't have enough courage to do things like this in public or corporate places.

Martin, you up? Non nobis? Lynne? Ulrich? Heinrich, put down that dumbell. Too late for that, but your commitment is inspiring. Anyone? I know Stella and Christina are probably out tonight. And poor Dymphna, my friend, is probably visiting with relatives who came in for her mom's funeral. We're with you Dymphna! You are not alone!
Tonight I'm wild and crazy. Crazy tired. G-nite.
Soon. Going soon.
I am such a lazy bum, I have my times of day upside down. I go to sleep around 1:30 am and wake up at 10 or 11. I need to change this wacky routine. It's my dad's fault ;) he stays up late and I immigrate my dad as a good son should. :P

Yes Martin, get it right. Maybe you can help dad get it right to so you don't have to "immigrate" him anymore! : )

After a day of sunshine, horseshoes, cards and grilled food, the partiers have left my home and I am tired. Just thinking about bed and sleep makes me happy. Beautiful Mass. Beautiful day.

glad you had a happy day
Thanks Ches. Kids have a way of bringing sunshine. Sometimes I'm so tired I'll disappear during a party and the little ones find me in on a couch stretched out. They then lay by me and talk incessantly. It's not always what they say, but how they say it. Plus I get to have them to myself. Yum.
It's 10:50 and I'm throwing in the towel. Before I know it husband will have coffee toast and chatter. I will be seated by the window, with my blanket watching the great migration.Good nite and feel free to post here while I slèep. I can read it in the morning. Dymphna, turn the lights off. And try to sleep.
We started our yearly Enthronement of Jesus Christ King of Poland. It is a devotion for privet as well as (in particular) national Enthronement of Jesus as King. We already have the Queen so it is obvious that the King should have his place right by her side.

We've been doing this for the past 4 years I believe. There was a seer, Rozalia, a contemporary of St.Faustian. Her mission was to promote the cause of Christ's Enthronement in Poland as its King. She's become a shadow of Faustina and her mission has sunk into oblivion only to be carried forward by one courageous priest who died few years ago in a car crash. Some people are against this mission and some find it fully in line with Quas Primas. This year the polish Episcopate along with the government if my memory serves me well is supposed to do something like a national entrustment to Christ the King or something. Many followers of the original mission promoted by Rozalia say that it won't count as Jesus clearly requested an enthronement not a simple entrustment. Seems like Poland has its own portion of false friends of Christ just like Fatima message in the Vatican.

Any English-language info out there on how to join in preparation? Never been to Poland, but, it being the land of my ancestors, I'd like to pray for them! :)

yes, children are such a gift. they don't have the baggage adults have. i often just lie in bed with the baby and just stare at him, he stares back and bblows little spit bubbles at me....and I say to him, "I get it, it's tough being a baby, I"m not much different from you" i guess being almost 100% dependent on other people I can relate to a lot of the struggles children go through... having no idea what is happening next. expecting one thing and then something different happens and you'reall like 'HEY that wasnt what i expected. Or sometimes everyone disappears from the room and all of the sudden you're like "aaack, what if zombies are trying to eat me and no one even notices because they're in the next room"
then having to be put in all these overstimulating, stressful environments that really aren't set up for people like you, but you've got no choice because the Powers That Be said that this is what we're doing today...i often hear parents complain about their kids and how they don't cooperate perfectly with their plans. they have reactions of distressed to things the adult thinks isn't that distressing... they don't want to ride in the shopping cart or sleep through the night. .... no one likes having absolutely no control over their lives, even the zero to 3 crowd and its never easy whether you're 3 weeks old or 34. Most adults are so removed from the experience of being dependent on others
sometimes he just hangs out with me and cries, i have no idea why... just the 2 of us in the room and i can't really do much for him but tell him we're in the same boat together
Martin, remember, no bad dreams. When you do finally haul your self to bed.

I don't know but initial project was rejected by "Sejm" (the lower chamber of the parliament of Poland).However, the act of Enthronement will be carried out by the episcopate at the end of the next month. Although not perfect as some claim(not precisely what Rozalia was asked for in her messages) this will definitely bring God's Blessings upon the Polish nation.
Time to start the thread. I'm hitting the hay early. Driving out to port Huron to see my new granddaughter in the morning. Dropping food off to my skinny son on my way. Will try to sleep early. By 10. So, Jayne, got anything to say? Come on over, bring your pillow. Ches, bring baby and pillow. Martin, no bad dreams. Bernadette come on over, bring your sweet quilt. Lynne, come bring your muffins.....I mean pjs. Stella, you out there studying? Bring some red wine. This isn't campus.
my friend is over we are playing civilization 6. Then I fell asleep for an hour
Glad we are playing a turn based strategy game and not a real time one or else my guys would all be dead and my friend is still here might play a bit more
Ches, does this mean you are gonna be hard to get up in the morning? You've had a cat nap and you're good to go for a while. It's ok. I won't be here to greet you, but I told the girls to wake you up.

kids and wife are sleeping, I just woke up nothing like a quiet house
Ches, I'm here to tuck the crew in. Just wanted you to know you have not been abandoned. On daughters wifi. My new baby is so smells good. She suckered on my cheek and lips. She barely cries yet, but of course gets little chance to cry with me around. The rest of her sticky goo kids are just wonderful. 7 yr. Old reads great 6 you old knows his catechism by heart. 4 yr. Old is just plain charming, 3 yr old a little girl charming beauty, 1 yr old a soppy drooling mess of an angel, a tubby cherub. But best of all they are all just like me. REALLY. ADORABLE. But.....it doesn't work to sleep with them. They can't get to sleep.

Do you night owls know what time it is? If you ARE going to bed, now is a reasonable time. Or you could show off your night skills and post at 4am. But, by the time you drag your sorry butts out of bed tomorrow, the coffee will either be cold or burnt, depending on who is watching the pot.
Tomorrow is leftover coffee....I only had one cup today, instead of 2. I feel guilty wasting it. Cinnamon rolls and scrambled eggs will be fresh and warm, but you better be first in line. All the girls I have camping in my backyard for daughter's birthday party will be hungry come daylight, and they can put away some food! good night. Those eggs won't cook themselves in the morning if I sleep in, and I don't trust those girls in my kitchen together ;)
It's 4:03 am here. I'm used to only cooking for 2, but I'll give it a shot, MCM. Go ahead and sleep in. I'll wake you up about 5:15 am in case you want a warm breakfast.

Too late....I'm up. One of my younger ones woke up with a stomach ache in bed, and there was cleaning to be done after that :-\. Figured I'd say good morning, before I attempt a short nap before sunrise and girls start pouring in. I will gladly let you handle breakfast, though....I'm tired!

2 nites spent on the people eating couch at daughters, two sleepless nites, have reduced me to a tired toddler. Really. I want to throw a fit. I am back home and all the stressors are still here.. The family quagmire. Please make it go away. I wish I could wake up and have it gone. O, the agony. Dymphna, I've prayed, really I have. How about donating your stupid head to me for a day. I know I'll come up with a remedy with your head On my shoulders.

Oh, sweet Carleen. I'm sure I'll be run out on a rail for saying this, but that's OK, I was looking for a rail when I found this one. These may be your monkeys, but this is no longer your circus. If I understand correctly, your children are adults now. You can't make them care about each other any more than you can carry their crosses for them. Some things they have to figure out for themselves. And they will. Don't try to force it, it has to come in their time, not yours. It's got to break your heart to see this happen, but when they come out on the other side, they may be closer than before. Or they may not. God's Will be done. Offer your pain, both physical and spiritual, for God's Will to be done in your family and for His greater glory; the only things that really matter. Don't kill yourself in the mean time.
And never cease praying for them. Our Lady has daggers in her Most Sorrowful Heart, St. Monica cried a river of tears, etc. You are in good company, my dear. In reality, it's your example that will do the most good. You are welcome to borrow my stupid head anytime, but I'll need it back since I have some morons to help get to heaven too. Beginning with me. Now get some rest. :pray3: :cheeseheadbeer: 8)
Time to open the thread. Maybe this thread annoys you. Maybe you find it very homey. I've learned there are all kinds on this forum. But, none-the-less, the thread is open. We have not discussed pjs. It would do us a good turn to learn what is the consensus amongst trads to know what is the proper attire for the traditional Catholic to wear to bed. Think about it. Some of us may wear pants to bed. Some may wear the sexy nun costume to bed. I'm sure there is a proper way to tuck in. The thread is open. Opinions please. No censoring here. Just want to know what is the consensus.

Benadette, your comment is very telling, Pants. That's what you wear. Own up to it. Sweat pant are barely pants Bernadette. If it is sweat pants you wear, well I'm thinking, Ches will not be scandalized.
how sweatpants barely pants?
Because no one leaves their house in them.

I can neither confirm nor deny the wearing of sweatpants. (https://www.suscipedomine.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fisheaters.com%2Fforums%2FSmileys%2Ffishy%2Funsure.gif&hash=a5325c3e9d119271b8e760a8f7803880395632b2)
Ok, bernadette. I still say your response is very telling Ches, butt out. I'm talking to Bernadette. Ches, do you wear sweat pant NO. DONT ANSWER THAT! We don't need to know. Bernadette may feel awkward knowing you do, and so does she. Geesh, it's just sweat pants. But we don't want to cause scandal for three faint of heart.
I think...I think he does? :lol:
Seriously, though, are there any...guidelines on what one should wear to bed? :huh: I mean, it's bed: no one's going to see you.
The angels see you, Bernadette.

My sentiments exactly. I sometimes wear my get up and go clothes. The kind you can't tell were worn to bed. Then I get up, fluff my hair, brush teeth, do other things, then, go to town, or just post office. Noone knows I slept in those clothes. Wrinkle free sports pants and sweat shirt. "Get up and go" clothes. Can't beat em.

Blankets. Yes they do cover alot. Hospital gowns, not so much.
Martin. We don't care what you wear to bed.....except a nightgown....gross. Just go to bed at a decent time so you can be up in time to make coffee. Seriously, do I have to organize everything?
The interest is waning. I'm not blind. Good night. Go to bed martin. Ches. Dymphna. Jayne. Stella. I have to sleep. I can't always moderate the thread!

Carleen I usually go to sleep in my underpants as I don't like pajamas and anything long or with sleeves makes me sweat and I get too warm.

Not going to bed yet and I'll be up for quite some time. I'm still putting some last minute details on my daughters' halloween and all saint's day costumes. I am trying to debate whether I should actually make the effort to construct angel wings for my 2 year old's Angel costume for All Saints Day. I tried getting her to wear the halo and she threw it on the floor saying, "I don't WANNA be an angel!!!" It's a lot of energy to put towards a child who doesn't even want to dress up

It's not the word, Carleendiane, but the image it brought to mind. Have mercy on a weaker sister!
It's six thirty six. Some one...give me one good reason to not pull the covers over my head and play dead. Smoke has entered my temple.

I, for one, always treat myself to a nap on Sundays. So I see no reason not to go to bed early. ;)
Some smoke in my temple has cleared. A tad bit clearer. I'm out from under my blanket. I will live another day, God willing.
Martin, put something decent on and apologize properly to poor Stella. The smelling salts have barely revived her.
OMGoodness, literally laughing out loud!!!
Per, quit laughing and help me prop her up. She is not helping at all. Martin will be here any minute.

What in the world is going on in here? Does Stella need an ambulance or just some ice water to revive her? And what are you doing out of bed Carleen? Are you sufficiently rejuvenated from your trip to be pushing yourself like this? What kind of coffee are you all drinking in here anyway? It looks as though everyone is smiling so it must not be too bad. I'll come back after my perimeter check to make sure everyone is OK. Sheesh! You can't live with them and, well, you can't live with them either. :P 8)

Dymphna, are you in the GO TO BED THREAD? We never bring coffee in here. Sometimes wine. Yes, I am sorta OK now. Stella just fainted and I'm trying to handle the situation the best I can. Perevangelica stopped in, checked out what's happening, laughed and left. Really. Not very chivalrous. Glad you stopped by. I really can't talk about what happened. It's a bit delicate. But grab her legs. I've got her ears. Yup. Let's hoist on three. Hey Stella, don't run away..........

I wish I could go to bed but I have to stay up and make cupcakes for my daughter's classroom Halloween party and finish hot gluing the costume. I hope to be in bed by 2am!

Stella, did you see dymphna's tea ring? She may have some left. I know it has no calories. But if you insist on chocolate, so be it. Just wash your hands and face before bed.DO NOT EAT CAKE IN BED without a fork.
Clarence Creedwater, see you....don't duck.
May I come out of my hiding place already :hide:
My mom baked chocolate cake today, it's called zebra cake because it has two layers or more like stripes. It's basically a pound cake polish style.
Come out. Don't be scared we are beyond this. But that cake sounds real. Not virtual. Step away from the cake Martin. It may haunt you later. But....could you bring some to the morning thread?
These cupcakes are chocolate cupcakes with vanilla frosting (dyed orange, of course) with jack o lantern faces on them.

I actually was going to do Spider web cupcakes with spider rings on top, but I couldn't find spider rings ANYWHERE. I went to AC Moore, Walmart, and Michaels, and they were all filled with Christmas crap already. If you want Halloween stuff, you should have gotten it a month ago, I guess.

Òh, forgot to open the thread. We could have zombies running around all night. Ya get a routine going and then I don't show to let everyone know that it is time to consider tucking in. That's really what zombies are. Very pale tired people with boo-boos from bumping into things and dark circles around their eyes because they had no one to tell them to go to bed. Poor things.
C'mon, Ches, tell me about your day. Glad to see you on. Did you squish any vermin today?
I need at least one response before I can go to bed. Just one, please.

Of course you want tea! And, everyone in my house except myself goes to bed at 9:30....actually, a little earlier. We said night prayers, and I tucked everyone in a little after 9:00 ;D....sometimes it's earlier. I like to have a little quiet time at the end of the day, or time to visit with my husband sans interruption. But, he's sleeping already, so it's just me, which is nice, too. Generally, I try to discipline myself to go to bed at 10:30, but my pregnancy insomnia has been kicking lately.
Good night, Carleen! I have leftover coffee for tomorrow, so you can make a little less in the morning.

We have a special place for zombies and they can't cross over to where we are... unless the combination of words, that only I know, is said. Well, God and I know. If you want, Munda, I can send someone from our security detail over to make sure nothing is on the floor or to light your way through the house when you are getting up. Just say the word. ;)

What do you mean, costume?! That was a late Halloween real ghost who interrupted my good night post. Really scared me. I think he was disappointed that you all didn't show up until All Saints Day, when his scariness dwindled to nothing but comedy.

Oh, non, sorry. It lost all its punch. Yep. Well, did you dispose of him properly? You do know they can't be flushed, right?
It is almost 10 oclock. Everyone should probably brush their teeth. Just remember, if you have to get up and go bright and early, put on your get up and go clothes. You know....the kind that doesn't wrinkle. Wear it to bed, wake up and go.

Bernadette, did your tea have honey in it? Sugar? Well, get in there and get the job done. You have an hour and I trust you'll do the right thing. You don't want to be a zombie, my little friend.

Òh, forgot to open the thread. We could have zombies running around all night. Ya get a routine going and then I don't show to let everyone know that it is time to consider tucking in. That's really what zombies are. Very pale tired people with boo-boos from bumping into things and dark circles around their eyes because they had no one to tell them to go to bed. Poor things.
Munda read the definition of a zombie. It came to me like a revelation. What'cha think?
Well, since I rarely, if ever, run around bumping into things all night, even if I am awake with insomnia, I can safely say I'm not a zombie, by your definition.
We have a special place for zombies and they can't cross over to where we are... unless the combination of words, that only I know, is said. Well, God and I know. If you want, Munda, I can send someone from our security detail over to make sure nothing is on the floor or to light your way through the house when you are getting up. Just say the word. ;)
Dymphna, zombies are NOT real. Get some sleep. You are relieved of patrol for tonight.
There now, much more comfy. Night time chat belongs here. Hey! Who needs the CHAT option.

Mercury and the Woodman
A Woodman was felling a tree on the bank of a river, when his axe,
glancing off the trunk, flew out of his hands and fell into the water.
As he stood by the water's edge lamenting his loss, Mercury appeared
and asked him the reason for his grief. On learning what had happened,
out of pity for his distress, Mercury dived into the river and,
bringing up a golden axe, asked him if that was the one he had lost.
The Woodman replied that it was not, and Mercury then dived a second
time, and, bringing up a silver axe, asked if that was his. "No,
that is not mine either," said the Woodman. Once more Mercury dived
into the river, and brought up the missing axe. The Woodman was
overjoyed at recovering his property, and thanked his benefactor
warmly; and the latter was so pleased with his honesty that he made
him a present of the other two axes. When the Woodman told the story
to his companions, one of these was filled with envy of his good
fortune and determined to try his luck for himself. So he went and
began to fell a tree at the edge of the river, and presently contrived
to let his axe drop into the water. Mercury appeared as before, and,
on learning that his axe had fallen in, he dived and brought up a
golden axe, as he had done on the previous occasion. Without waiting
to be asked whether it was his or not, the fellow cried, "That's mine,
that's mine," and stretched out his hand eagerly for the prize: but
Mercury was so disgusted at his dishonesty that he not only declined
to give him the golden axe, but also refused to recover for him the
one he had let fall into the stream.
"Honesty is the best policy."
The Four Oxen and the Lion A Lion used to prowl about a field in which Four Oxen used to
dwell. Many a time he tried to attack them; but whenever he came
near they turned their tails to one another, so that whichever way
he approached them he was met by the horns of one of them. At
last, however, they fell a-quarrelling among themselves, and each
went off to pasture alone in a separate corner of the field. Then
the Lion attacked them one by one and soon made an end of all
four.
"United we stand, divided we fall."
The Lion, the Bear, and the Fox
A LION and a Bear seized a Kid at the same moment, and fought
fiercely for its possession. When they had fearfully lacerated
each other and were faint from the long combat, they lay down
exhausted with fatigue. A Fox, who had gone round them at a
distance several times, saw them both stretched on the ground
with the Kid lying untouched in the middle. He ran in between
them, and seizing the Kid scampered off as fast as he could. The
Lion and the Bear saw him, but not being able to get up, said,
"Woe be to us, that we should have fought and belabored ourselves
only to serve the turn of a Fox."

Our Amazon Prime Pantry box arrived today: 20 "bricks" of Cafe Bustelo and 2 packages of cookies (Stella D'Oro almond and Archway Dutch cocoa). :lol: Plus some drip-coffee and soap, but those aren't very interesting. I'll be all set for at least a couple of weeks. ;)

Oh, definitely buttercrunch. Or is it butternut? I think it's cruch, buttercrunch: the one from Dunkin' Donuts with the crunchy stuff all over it. I went to college with a guy who worked at Dunkin' Donuts, and he brought me buttercrunch donuts often. So sweet of him. :)
Bernadette, I guess dymphna, if I ask, will stop in at DD to get your butter crunch donuts. Please bring to the table some of those cocoa soft cookies you have. Love those.
How about some of the almond ones for Stella. She might like them. Trying to be good to stella, after trying to sell her on ebay.
Heading to bed now. Sleep well everyone. Wake me up about 7, please.
I love the smell of a bakery in the middle of the night! I'll get an assortment from DD and that European Bakery. While I'm out, I'll pick up supplies for supper tomorrow. How does sloppy joes and green beans sound?

This could apply to trads, and all the backbiting and division.
Don't laugh. The thread is now open for the night. Since Dynphna, thread master of the 4 o'clock thread is open all day, I figure I can open up early.
I've decided that alcoholic beverages are not only allowed, but advised to help per evangelical loosen up. It's just charitable and we don't want her drinking alone. :cheeseheadbeer:
I.Burst.Out.Laughing.
Especially since I had JUST sat down with dinner and teeny bit of wine. I looked at the glass, went back and filled it up. Logged in here, and saw your comment. You are hilarious!
You just may give me a big head. But, no problem it will finally catch up with my big hair.
That's right Evie. Drink the wine. It's medicinal. Kinda like coffee, but better.
Dymphna, I know it's early yet but....would you turn the lights off tonight? My legs hurt. Well, not my wooden one. But, please please remember to make certain there is a night light. If Martin gets up to take care of business he will probably need to slip on his pants. And I don't want to bump into him in the hall. Neither does Stella! Just sayin..
And, there are some here that have a small problem getting to sleep. How about a lullaby. But no rock and roll tunes. Unless Red is up. He would want RR. And I have a bottle of benidryl for the hopeless cases. Like you my dear. I am becoming a bit chagrined. Maybe you need to go to the sleep clinic Ches went to. Please dear Dymphna, really, you need to be more proactive.. I hate to say these downer things, but every nite can't be shopping and critter parties. Dymphna, you make me want to cry. Oh, I forgot, it's your life. Your way. Lost my head again. Forgive me. Just turn off the lights, except the night light , because you know Martin well he likes to sleep in his.......
Going to bed. Gone.
Sure I'll get the lights. I'm sorry you're feeling poorly. Let me know if there is anything I can do. And trust me, no one wants to run into Martin in the middle of the night. No offense Martin. Night lights are on. BTW, what is this RR music that Red likes? I'll see what I can do about lullabies.
Actually, I have had a sleep study done. The kind with all the electrodes sticking out all over your head with the "brain hat"and the others are taped to you which is real fun to rip off the next day. A few conclusions were made.
1-I have non-REM sleep when I do sleep, characterized by major shifts of the body every 20-30 minutes, etc..
2-I have restless legs syndrome. Before you all scoff, do a little research on it. It's real and it sucks.
3-Chronic insomnia
I have been given medications for the 2 latter diagnosis. As for the non-REM sleep disorder, there is nothing I can do. I appreciate the idea of benadryl, but unless you can put it in an IV, it will do no good. Please don't waste your hard earned cash on me. But I'm certainly not saying forget you, it's my life, you can butt out. I'm always open to suggestions. Especially when they come from someone who cares. ;)

My pajamas are shorts and a t shirt.

I know it's Friday nite, but the thread is open. It's 8:30. We could act like we're gonna stay up late. But why? The truth is I am mentally emotionally and physically spent. Ìf I had to go out clubbing or go to a party, I'd be the one in the corner snoozing. I'd be the party pooper, and we all know, every party has one. Tonight, it's me. Life is suckling the life out of me. Life sucks sometimes. It is time to take my mask off. What is under my mask is not pretty. It is a withered momma. So if anyone has something to say to lift me up, or at least bring some light, please do. Otherwise I am gonna go to bed and hope for another chance to recoup my joy. Actually it should be easy. I can rise up and renew fairly easily. That is just my temperment. Never enjoyed the dark anyway.
Martin, your underwear are no longer an issue on the go to bed thread We are all very aware of the possibility of running into you. Besides. I offer you a robe. It is on the door. So if you make a quick run to the fridge and run into Stella there will be no more drama. We all know that you will NEVER, NEVER cause scandal or bring shame upon the men of the forum.
Thank you for the robe. :)

Matin, I look upon you as a son. Besides, Jayne is old enough to be your mother ;) So, we want to take care of you, son.If a robe is necessary to protect your dignity, a robe will be provided.
Listen, Ches doesn't run around in his underwear.RSC doesnt. And I'll bet Michael Wilson and Clarence Creedwater do not. So neither should you have to, Martin. I know, it's quick and easy to just run out in your skivees. But now you know better. Dymphna and I care. We care enough to provide a robe. It looks good on you. Really. Except it is a teeny bit short. *ick*. Dymphna!!!!! I do believe that's a Harley jacket, and NOT a robe at all. It is cute though. Does it still fit you? Where did you find that sweet little piece of biker wear? Can I borrow it? Give it to me Martin. Take it off! Now! Who cares if you're in your skivees. Really, it's a girls jacket! Grow up!
Just make sure your robe doesn't match the couch or you will be sat upon, Martin.
This guy is just asking for trouble, even with the teddy bear.

Nice low profile couch.Not flashy. Nice teddy bear.
I want to go to bed, but I have to blow dry my stupid hair first. But I'm too tired to blow dry it because it takes forever because there's so much of it and it's too darn thick. I wish my desk chair came with one of these things:

The robe seems too loose on me. Remember I am underweight and so I need to gain some weight because I'm drowning in this robe. its too big. perhaps my mom could make few adjustments. She's a seamstress so it wouldn't be a problem, but then again you only lent me your robe for a while. I should get my own. Yes I'll do that. I'll go shopping tomorrow. any advise on what I should look for specifically?
I suggest plaid, myself. :thumbsup:
Don't know when I will sleep tonight. Troubled teen takes off without permission and says she's not coming home. Goes someplace I dont know with a boy I don't know and doesn't take her psych meds with her.

No non,, you are a big girl now. Just make sure to turn off the lights. Do you have any idea what my last electric bill was?
Martin, you talking about that fuzzy pink robe? Is that the one dysphagia loaned you? Well that was Dymphna'so before she lost all that weight. Before her bronchitis. Man, that kicked her butt. Of course it's toour big.
About a new robe. I recommend a men's sz. sm. Unfuzzy and unpink.

The robe seems too loose on me. Remember I am underweight and so I need to gain some weight because I'm drowning in this robe. its too big. perhaps my mom could make few adjustments. She's a seamstress so it wouldn't be a problem, but then again you only lent me your robe for a while. I should get my own. Yes I'll do that. I'll go shopping tomorrow. any advise on what I should look for specifically?
I'm really sorry about that Martin. I can barely dress myself, let alone gage the proper size for somebody else. Penneys is having a sale on a variety clothing, which includes pajamas and robes. I would suggest getting a terry clothe one. That helps soak the water away when you get out of the shower, feels cozy, and lasts a very long time.
Is there such a thing as petite sizes for men? If not, there should. I hope you find what you are looking for Martin. :)

A busy girl you are. And sweet too.
We do not have to go to bed yet. Just opening for business. Seems a bit silly still posting in the good morning thread.
I say lets pray tonight and then pray some more for a miracle on Tuesday. Maybe we should write a story for fun. Lets have a laugh ;)
Hillary is probably in bed already because she needs to sleep off her campaign "jet-lag"; it's been a very very grueling month for her so she needs to recharge her old battery. She's still unaware how much sleep she needs to "recuperate" so it may take more than one night. Being sure of victory now, after getting an FBI "Get Out of Jail" Free card, she will fall into deep and long sleep. She's gonna dream about her and Bill's island escapades, treasure chest full of golden coins with .....open borders everywhere and millions of blood thirsty savages flocking in like ants, nuclear summer and winter and fall. What a wonderful dream! SIGHHHHhhh. mmhhhmmm . But oh no! Huma is gone and there is no one to wake Hillary up. Poor Huma What a misfortune! what a calamity! Even Bill is playing Saxophone tonight so there is literally no one to wake her up tomorrow. Perhaps Hillary will not wake up tomorrow, maybe she'll sleep through the elections. How awful would that be for such a heroic woman. Oh what a pity it would be to oversleep one's victory. Perhaps, in such case someone else could claim that victory...(to be continued)
Hillary actually woke up several times, with indigestion. She proudly claims no fear of Commey or courts because they are all in her back pocket. See the Clinton Foundation money IS going to charity after all. It is paid out as soon as it comes in. Paid as hush money. Poor Bill and Hillary are literally broke. Hillary had a 99 cent burger for dinner. She has to cut corners where she can, you understand. Flights on the Lolita, for the Clinton really add up, the poor darlings And those pant suits are not cheap. They have all those pockets sewed inside to cover her many devices that keep her alive and help her hear the answers softly fed to her at the debates. She's truly in a deplorable state of health. She just can't win. Donald has stacked the deck against her highness and her indigestion will cause sleeplessness, which will require more blush and Crack filler.. Master painters and a work crew tomorrow. Really, such a poor soul.

Bernadette, just add to the story. You can put a 3 bears spin on it if you like.
Where is Sleeping Beauty's spinning wheel with the poison spindle when you need it. Surely there is a Sleeping Ugly one somewhere close. Here, Killary, let's walk over to that pile of stuff behind the castle. We will find something that interests you and something vital for the kingdom. It's just a short little stroll. :whistling: :ghost1:
Bernadette what do you mean by safe??
OK, I'll try again (bed, that is)
Yes, it's time to at least exchange clothes for pjs. Say your rosary before you get to the point of dozing through it. Tomorrow will be here before you know it. Today was exquisite. Truly, a beautiful day here. Hope tomorrow is more of the same.I can hope.Tomorrow is voting day. In 2 days this will be behind us. In two weeks we will be consumed by something else.
How many here are using their furnace or woodburners. We do not even have a furnace. Only woodburners. No fires yet. We do use a few small, electric heaters.Good ones, but effective for one room. I like cool night air and warm blankets.
Every nite, the dog comes in our bedroom for the rosary. He is told "bedtime" and he runs into the room, settles down and goes to sleep right by our bed. Never on it, just by it.He is our buddy and protector.

This is the cutest thing. :) I hold out on using my furnace for as long as I can, because I prefer using heavy blankets and clothes instead.
When Hubby and I married, I told I have 2 requirements; 1) I want to be warm in the winter and cool in the summer. I don't care how we achieve this goal. I grew up cold in the winter and hot in the summer, and that was more than enough for me. And 2) I will never be a nag, so don't do things to try to make me one. It's all up to you. :grin: Lucky for me, he felt the same way about being cold or hot. And I'm still not a nag! :lol:
Tomorrow is going to be a long hard day, so be sure to get your rest tonight. God help us! :pray3:

Never nag. Never. It is ?ot sllowed. Good girl Dympbna.in my opinion, a woman nags out of anxiety that important things won't get done. Eventually it spreads to the unimportant things. A habit is formed. A default setting. When husband steps up to the plate and takes care of these tjings, half the time she keeps on nagging. If husband starts his marriage doing what he should he will never have to deal with a nagger. But there are women who decided ahead of time that no matter what, she will not nag.A virtuous woman. Nagging is ugly.it can bring out wrath. Plus a man can just tune his wife out. She only gets louder. Nope, it is better to not ride this merry go round.

She means no politics, martin. And she has a point.
Probably not a good night to talk sbout going to bed, huh? So, just for tonight we will not go to bed. We only go if we want. This is an election of such huge importance that the coffee will be brewed and ready to serve at midnight. Got some good coffee for the occasion. Gevalia. I know, not the bes,t but it was a good price where I shop at so I took advantage and picked some up. MLG has super good coffee but has not offered for tonight. So my friends, we will not close the thread for tonight. We will run straight into the 4am, dymphna's thread. Haven't asked if she is OK with this. Dympyña, what say you? I will put out some whiskey out to accompany the coffee. Just, please, no hyper (coffee)drunks please. Pace yourself. Be smart about this. Bad example. We can't have this..No siree! Not on my thtread. Not on my watch.
Ches, you up? What's your take, Or maybe Mrs, C's take on how you/her sees it going?
OK guys, I lied, sorta. Husband did go online tonight, and I've been following Suscipè comments so ì guess we couldn't wait til tomorrow for election results. Not à lot off comments here as to who's where in what states. Can't do chat? That may be where all the àctìon is

says her lib coworkers look a little uneasy not as comfortable as they were in thebeginning of the evening :)
Trying to stay up the whole night
Come on the chat room
HOW CAN I GO TO BED WHEN WE'RE WAITING ON THE RESULTS
WHERE'S THE FOUR AM THREAD I MIGHT NEED IT
Right this way, Kaesekopf, Mr. Pheo will be pleased to show you around and to your accommodations. Thank you for staying at the "They Haven't Taxed Us Out Of Business Yet!" motel. The kitchen is open should you want anything. We kept it open for tonight and many of our customers will be staying up way past their bedtime. Let us know if there is anything we can do for you.
So high energy, not sure I can even fall asleep
Have to open go to bed. Leaving for adoration. May not be back for a while because once we get to Jackson, we take care of other business, too. Anyway. You will all stay up late reveling last night's revelry. Hope everyone is feeling better by now. It was a hard night of chat booze chat booze. That is for you youngsters. The strokesters here, well we just drop over when we are done partying. We drop, tuck and roll. If the house Catches on fire, we have it covered. Now if we could just adjust to sleeping in our safe room we would have all our bases covered!
Dymphna, take it away......
How coincidental, I cannot drink but for the past few days I have been coming down with something and last night or actually this morning I was getting a very very intense nausea and brain fog. I felt drunk and high. Seriously somehow I joined in the "penitential" consequences of buzz overdose. Still feeling woozy and tired.😥
I'm back Dymphna. Stand down....well, maybe you never stepped up! No matter I'm back. The early turner inners can now turn in.
Martin, maybe you should turn in early. Doesn't sound good for you. I think that the drinks you wished you could drink went to your head. Or someone slipped a micKY into your RSC. Dymphna warned you about turning your back on your Red Solo Cup. I think Red did it. This calls for a full investigation of all that were in the chat room. Where O where is Mr. Commey when we need him? Martin, was Hillary and Bill in the Chat Room? Seriously, someone may have taken pictures and inadvertently gotten a pic of the culprit. I know it wasn't Hillary. She said it wasnt. Bill, well, he had so many devices he was holding onto for Hillary he didn't have a free hand to take a pic. BUT.....Podesta was there. Just to admire our lovely young folks. Wait, Martin, I think he has a poster of you in his parlor. Saw it today during the investigation. In the picture I saw Weiner with a pill bottle in one hand and he was bending over someone's cup. Sorry Red. I jumped to conclusions. Martin. It was Weiner. Huma acted very nervous when she was asked to answer a few questions, like why were Bill, Hillary, Anthony, Podesta, she in the sucipe chat room. They all claimed to NOT know how they got there. They were on an island and poof. Hillary cast a spell and they found themselves in the Chat room. I'm not buying it. It was surely a conspiracy against Martin. A well planned plan. Weiner, Martin. Surely Anthony Weiner. Podessta could not resist another sweet picture. You must be cute Martin. Tell Comme we did his job for him. You will sleep well tonight , Martin. You may still be sick, but at least we now know who slipped you the drug.
If I could "thank" my own post I would. It's pure genious. So what can you add to my bed time story? Ches, Martin, Red, Kaese, Lynne, Bernadette, anyone?
Dymphna....you are an awesome storyteller. What can you add to this solved mystery. Maybe it's not so solved. Maybe Russia had its eye on Martin all along. Putin. The planners planned on Putin planning to sabotage their plan with a plan of his own. Martin may be a pawn in the big magic circle Of plans of the planners.
Haven't you figured it out by now? I am a Russian plant and I work for Trump. You see we both live in NY. Central park is our meeting spot where we conspire against Hillary. And Bill wasn't holding onto her devices last night, he was playing saxophone, they thought she was winning so Bill pulled out his sax and blew a few celebratory sounds. Then we all went back home. I stopped at the Russian embassy to exchange crucial information and then they told me to take a leave. On my way back home I grabbed some coffee and donuts, maybe someone tried to poison me. This morning I drank a full dose of activated charcoal in order to eliminate the poison. My code name is anti apostle 1836. I live underground and I operate in a stealth mode so no one knows who I am or who I was.....
This is fun huh?😉
Oh, my Martin. This is deep. Deep throat stuff. Poison at Dunkin donuts. Did you see a man with an umbrella? Did you feel a slight pokelike injection? Maybe the mode was not by beverage at all. You think Bill was really playing that sax? No. Uh uh. Martin, he was taking pictures with a camera mounted on the saxaphone. That sax was filled to the top with devices, Martin. Putin warned you they would be hidden. There was a CD on, it wasnt live music at all. When he walked through the chat room, though it was noisey, you could hear the rattle of media devices.
Russia called while you were throwing up. They wanted to know how they should go about paying their finest agent. Should they buy you some pajama bottoms, or just send a check so you can buy them yourself. I told Putin to shove it. Really, Martin, the pajama bottoms were made in China. Not kidding. CHINA! Man he's got you all wrong. I said send you vitamins or something to counteract the poison, or just let you go. Cut you loose. Let you be a rogue agent. I said.
therefore a double agent

You're not big enough to be a double agent. You are more like half an agent. No offense Martin. That may work in your favor. Not at all what people would expect. Actually, this could be good...or bad. Let's keep this a secret. A super secret secret.
No body goes to bed yet. That would be ridiculous. We are not babies. We can just talk about going to bed. Ok? Talk is not at all like doing. I have at least 3 long hours until I can crawl ino bed. There are days I love going to bed. Other days it annoys me that there is so little time in a day to get things done. Usually I'm somewhere in between. You?

OK Munda, you get a bye on this. Catch your sleep any way, anytime you can! If the Church is so kind ws to give you time to heal, it's the LEAST I can do. Get a little snack before you head off to bed. You know you'll be nursing many times throughout the night.
Confession and apology to all, or any who care.
I must confess....to.....dozing. Yeah, I FELL ASLEEP WHILE IN THE GO TO BED THREAD! I literally dozed off after telling everyone how stupid it would be to go to sleep so early. Hubby found me. He brought me around, by coaxing, talking, playing music. Yep, it took some doing, but he got the job done.I am now awake in case anyone needs counseling or some spiritual direction. Or just a hug good night. I've got a job to do. I can't tell you how sorry I am for abandoning my post. Hope no one tried to contact me during my 20 min. nap.
Gin......going......gone!
The featherbed is on, the comforter is all fluffy, the futon has been allowed to poof back up, and even the teddy bear has been freshened up. Even the cat is snuggled in her basket, after being confined to her carrier during the house showing. I made it up to her with a can of whitefish and tuna, and now it's like it never even happened. ;) Soon I will be cocooned in warm feathers, listening to The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes. Yum. ;D

Are you a young man dreaming dreams? Tell us, what kind of prophetic dream did you have Ches? Or was it the kind where you can't quite find your clothes or your way? That is an ongoing dream for me, plus, the kind where I can't find my way out of a huge building.
Oooo! Those are good questions, Carleen. Dreams have always interested me. 9 times out of 10 I remember my dreams too. Oddly, I even remember some I had as a child. I'm a vivid dreamer, so colors are usually a main focus point. Does anyone else here dream like that?
Yes, Dymphna, colorful, stay with me dreams. Plus dreams that are sequel, kind of like a TV series. Even in my dreams the story is familiar. After about 8 dreams the dream ends like the end of a story. Usually I haven't found my shoes or pants òr my way.
hmm
I think in the dream someone mistook me for a homeless guy
Dreams are stupid, Ches. Don't believe it. You are not homeless, but maybe you have great sympathy for the homeless.

I feel textures in my dreams. :o About a year ago, I reached out to touch a wall in my dream, thinking: "Wait, am I dreaming? Lemme touch something to make sure," and I
felt it! Now it's become a common occurrence. And I've always had really detailed, vivid dreams, often like I'm reading a book or watching a movie, just watching this plot unfold.

Wow! I'd never heard of it before it happened to me, and it was
really confusing the first time it happened. It's interesting that you mention your sensitivity to textures: food textures are definitely a hangup for me. If I don't like the texture of a food, there's no way I'm eating it (tapioca, I'm looking at you). :lol:

Oooooo, you may have a point there. Maybe that would do it. Dirty, smelly people, do remind me the poor homeless. Take a shower before you go to bed tonight. Probably a big production for you. Just don't show up at the good morning thread looking homeless. I will be forced to hire a nurse to help you shower.

I "feel" the same way about tapioca pudding. My niece as a new cook made it a few times as a sort of "specialty". I got it down, but must have given myself away, as she stopped making it much. Yech.

We will get to the bottom of this...your sick need to wake sleepers up. Do you know what it takes to get them up in the morning? Those bumps in the night scare us. We spend hours praying and trying to get back to sleep. Now, I know you didn't mean to be a meanie.....sorry, I meant a noise maker, but geesh. There. Enough said.
This thread is officially open. What did you all do today? Except prepare for going back to bed, boring, I would love to hear how your day went.

It's you flopping all over.I called the nurses desk. They said that you think you are a fish. As a fish, a slight delusion, you think you are in water. What you sense as spinning is the non water that is not swirling around you. Get rid of this delusion and the movement/ dizziness stops. Just trying to help you my friend. Ok, I could be wrong about this so....I have another remedy. Ask for the anti dizzy medicine they give to people like you and me.
So happy to hear you are talking. Is it a struggle? Should we send the bus for you? Bet you miss your little ones. so glad you got to visit with them. And that awesome saint you call your wife. What's it like to be married to such a virtuous mate? I know with my marriage, just to spend the quiet moments, to watch sun rise and dusk, to enjoy going over our shared memories, our joys and disappointments, and just a bit of companionable silence...to share these moments with someone you love and admire, is just priceless. If you learn to enjoy that while you are young, you ensure that your later years will be spent in loving and precious companionship. Many old couples are at odds once the kids grow up and move out because they never developed just being companions. I'm am so happy for you Ches, you have a companion, lover and nurse all in one sweet package. With two little boys to further sweeten the deal. Prayers your bed will stop spinning. CARLEEN

. yeah i definitely hit the marriage lottery also God gave us a lot of time together as companions before we had children in the house i think strongbonds are often forged in suffering together
talking is pretty easy with the trach capped, have been off the vent a good part of the day but when hooked up to that it's a bit slower because it forces you to pause and it's not always predictible

If I don't like the texture of a food, there's no way I'm eating it (tapioca, I'm looking at you). :lol:
I "feel" the same way about tapioca pudding. My niece as a new cook made it a few times as a sort of "specialty". I got it down, but must have given myself away, as she stopped making it much. Yech.
I love tapioca pudding. I like creme brulee. I like amaretto flavored desserts. It's not texture usua?ly, but still, rice pudding is good, but the texture does bug. I don't like cream pies. Do you? I like pudding, but not in a pie. Fruit pies, my favorite. Pumpkin is great, but similar to pudding. Apple pie is a favorite. But annoying is pie crust without enough salt. I want to taste the salt in my baked goods. Cookies without enough salt always seem flat in flavor. Bread, same.

Truer words could not be spoken. When it's you and me against the world and you are still together when the nonsense is over, there is a sense of closeness that binds you like fire does to steel.
Yes Dymphna, truer words never spoken, suffering together does create a bond like nothing else. Ches knows. You know. I know. We have unbreakable bonds. Just beautiful.
Hitting thevhay. Goodnight all. No bed bugs. You hear me? Turn off the lights. I don't care who does it. I don't want to get up and find them on. Lock the doors too. Thank you.

I like cream pies. :) Rice pudding is anathema. But I do like making just the pumpkin filling, as if I were making a pie, and then baking it in a buttered corningware dish. But that's just because I'm lazy. :lol:

I actually like rice pudding. Most of the pies I eat are either apple or pumpkin, but I also like blueberry, key lime, lemon meringue, and especially pecan pie. When I was little I loved "shoo fly" pie (who else has had/made that?), but I haven't had it for a while, and it may be a little too sweet for me now. My Mom (or perhaps it was my Dad) sometimes would buy super-bargain cream pies for quick desserts; maybe that's why I don't care for them much now.
But I don't like any kind of pie in the face. Now I'm asking for trouble...
I didn't wake you up; I just gave you sweeter dreams.
I have never had shoofly pie or apple pan dowdy but i remember singing songs about it at camp, and when I was in Girl Scout chorus :) Yes, I am that much of a nerd :)
Non nobis, I only like pie in my face at a pie eating contest.
Here they have "chess pie", which can either be an actual pie, or in bars like brownies. It's incredibly sweet, too. The Southerners love their sweet desserts.
Come, my threadies. Come warm yourselves by the fire. You guys want something to drink or eat before bed? Red, bring your solo cups, please. And someone please, bring some decaf. Have homemade bread, so we can make toast, hot cocoa, we can spike our coffee with nighttime medicine. Red has Baileys. You do still have some, dont you Red? We can have wine if you wish. We can rig up a monitor to watch an animal movie, a nice gorey one, maybe an insect movie too! Once everyone is satisfied, we can just sit around watch the fire, go to the basement for more wood. Every night we have to put in an all nighter, one of our largest that still fit in the woodburner. Remember, don't take your peanut butter sandwiches to bed. Really, by now I shouldn't have to tell you all this. Living room is double the size of a normal living room. We have lots of sitting places and floor space. Everyone will fit. Don't be shy. It may seem weird at first....coming to my house and all, but you'll get comfortable quickly. It's just that kind of place. Well broke in and homey. House rules are few. No poop on shoes, No peanut butter in bed, No making noise in middle of night, NON NOBIS!.....and no over packing the wood burner, No sheep in house, No smoking marijuana.
You've got to like molasses to like shoo fly pie. If you don't like it, it is nasty! (can you tell I don't like it? Pecan Pie is much better.) :whistling: Hubby's Aunt used to make it with sorghum syrup. Blech! The family tried to explain that that wasn't shoo fly pie if she didn't use molasses, but she told them that if they kept bringing that up, they wouldn't get any angel food cake ever again. For that angel food cake, it was worth shutting up. :-X :lol:
We made apple pan dowdy in HomeEc. I didn't like it as much as apple crisp, to make or eat. I like a crispier dough on my pies.
Never mind pie: I need bread pudding. Talk about comfort food! :P
One more house rule.NO SHOO FLY PIE. Hate it. I might barf. I love pecan pie. Rich, but not disgusting like shoo fly pie.. That pie should be used as a fly catcher. Just set it on the table uncovered. The flies will come. Trust me.
Bread pudding made by my mom. Yes! Her bread pudding was not wet, it had raisons, walnuts and spìce, eggs, and cream. It was better than any restuarant bread pudding. I HATE WET BREAD PUDDING. Nobody has ever made shoo fly pie that I liked.

That kugel is probably good. Never tried it. So, is it really similar to breadpudding? Does it have brown sugar, butter and cinnamon? Is it baked? Does it have raisons? Tell all, Ches.

Couldn't you use grapes and just wait a little while before you serve them? Or how about substituting craisins? The half cranberry and half raisin. Hubby loves bread pudding. But then, he likes using biscuits for strawberry shortcake. :ack:

Overstimulating with tv in background, people coming in and out chatty people and stinky food xarts... lots of alarms beeping make having a baby and 6-year old seem quite relaxing
.
Yes, Ches, I've spent a lot of time in hospitals to say, yes, it is easier and more relaxing taking care of a baby and 6 yr. old. The beeps and alarm alone are enough to exhaust you. Wish you were home with the fam., but it is what it is. Still think your plan to timing things like this was a good plan.

Go to bed in a bit OK guys. Had a tough day. On top of other problems, someone stole my wallet. Ugh.....
C*H*E*SSSSSS! SOME BAD A**H***E STOLE MY WALLET AT THE GROCERY STORE! C*H*E*S*, I am so mad! Plus my tooth is infected. Another tooth.
Agh what a nightmare I'll pray you get it back or at least cancrecoup the loss
How awful
Thanks, Ches. Knew you'd lend a hand here. And you did. Your prayers are appreciated. I will be on phone in morning. Only one credit card. Anything charged after 730 tonight will be taken care of by Credit card company. Even if I call tomorrow. Thing is....I found the coolest tooled leather wallet at a second hand store. Beautiful, and similar to the wallet I threw out, tooled also and very well made. That one lasted 30 yrs. I guess I'll never know how long it would have lasted.
ah so wallet was special item.. Not easy to replace

It's OK if you feel like it's time to hop into pjs. Really. I am ready to relax with some wine, and conversation. So, bring it on people. Who wants to be first? This thread is open!
Supposed to sleep can't turn my brain off though
They tapered off my anxiety meds and now I'm having trouble sleeping
Sorry they changed med and you can't sleep. I will pray you will fall asleep!
This thread is open. Been in bed all day, so why not open go to bed?
This thread is open for those who just wish they were in bed.
We could just tell stories and make it special time for all that want to hang out in bed. Just crawl in with your clothes on. That's right. It's ok. We can even eat in bed. If you wish. I know, it all sounds so lazy, but that's the point. And at night we will drink our wine in bed. Besides, it's good for what ails you. Ask St. Paul.

He does slack from time to time, but today he had to keep an eye on his master who is putting a new deck up in the big barn. A part some owner before us tore out. He has to raise a ruckus if master falls through or something. So you went on tilt today. How did you handle that, and have you been sleeping alright?

I got out of bed to shower, do 1 load laundry. Back in bed. Dog stuck by me pretty close. Master was in the house. He ran off a few times to get some socks for me and a bone to eat and do business, but for the most part kept watch over me. He loves me. Even if I'm sick or crabby. Even if I have no treats for him. Even then.

I'm sorry you are having a bad day. Prayers for tonight and tomorrow to be better. :pray3: :cheer:
Just so you know I am back to bed. The go to bed thread is open all day. Happy holy day to yall.

Ches, I really have newfound sympathy for your long days in bed. The ceiling fails to entertain. And this is your usual vantage point. Yep, you really need that upright standing wheelchair. Seriously. Don't want you going bonkers on us.
For all who are suffering today, in particular Carleen and Ches. If I could be there to do something special to make you all feel better I certainly would and wholeheartedly wish I could. The best I can do is this pitiful cup of ginger tea and send my prayers and offer my sufferings for you all. Prayers for a standing chair for Ches and maybe a mural on the ceiling of heaven and a warm dog to snuggle with for Carleen. :pray3: :pray2: :pray1: I wouldn't take your crosses from you and deny you the glory of heaven you will so richly command, but please know that when you feel alone, you are not. :grouphug:

Thank you dymphna.
You're welcome, Carleen. Now lay still. Do you have enough blankets? How about another pillow? Would a heating pad help, or make it worse? Here's a vase of virtually fresh daisies. Bring the outside in. How are the twins coming? I'm sorry I'm pestering you, just look in bits. :)

But dymphna, who takes care of you?? You're all over caring for boo-boos. How about you. You need a virtual care givver, too! I have a hard time uploading sweet pics like you and jayne. But...I think them for you. Pictures of cuddly sleeping critters. You've got me, dymphna.

thanks for offering it up for my interntiins having a standing wheelchair would give me a different view that's for sure. SW thins it will get covered since my current chair is 6 years old... Everyone with a disability I've talked to is ordering all their DME's now before trump gets rid of Medicare, Medicaid, SSI, SSDI
My family is supposed to come soon so there will be a cute baby to cuddle with. My older son has made a few murals to look at bit not the ceoling

I tell you what, I had some of the roughest few days of my long, l o n g, life last week. I accidentally ended up off all of my meds without realizing it and went through some terrible withdrawal symptoms. I spend 98% of my time alone, so it got really ugly. I don't deal with change very well, and in the last couple of months, pretty much everything in my life changed. My Mom died and left an ugly situation, I've got a new cell phone (haven't had one in years) so I'm trying to learn all the stuff on that (remember, I'm old), I'm dealing with family that I haven't had around in years, migraines rule my life, Hubby has little people friends that he's trying to show a better way of life, etc... Everything just blew up last week. One of the couple of constant things that I knew I could count on, was you all being here. You with your chipper, sweet, ways, even when you are down, Ches suffering more than I can even imagine, yet coming here with thoughtful, sometimes funny with his rye humor, posts, in particular the ones about his sons and awesome wife, Lynne with her awesome hugs and advice and kitties, Miriam with her sweet intelligent, and holy posts, maryslittlegarden reminding me of the awesomeness of split pea soup and Fargo with her gentle kind ways, Elizabeth with her way of making something that seems complicated, short and simple, Jayne with her thoughtful posts, Bernadette and her Aunt going through so much change, yet adapting so well and good for a thoughtful post, Verenaerin with her unbelievable family and choleric charitable ways, and I could go on but you get the point (Honorable mention for KK, red solo cup, Greg, Heinrich, Martin, ;) :cheeseheadbeer: ).
Through the haze, I did have you. And I thank you. I'm getting myself put back together, a little at a time. I realize this is all tmi for most of you, but sometimes you don't realize who nor how you help people on their quest for heaven. Now you have a thought about it and your charity is a blessing. Thank you. Stick with me, Carleen, you are such a treasure, I'd hate to lose you. :grouphug:
I'll be here for you dymphna. Thanks for a sweet thanks.

Ches, glad to hear you may get upright and cuddly baby and son with pics and wife coming to see you. I know that can not happen everyday. Your visitors cheer me up! How bout that! I'm happy for you. I'm see'in it now. It's nice. :D
Hoping to sleep through the night. I've been a giant baby staying awake when I should be sleeping. A giant colicky baby. My goal is to stay up til ten. We'look see. Besides no one really wants to rock me.

She never sleeps,she just breaks into your home in the middle of the night to rock you to sleep. And she leaves frozen chicken stock in your freezer.
pretty sure she's Jewish
So sweet. I want my mama! I love the picture Ches. Thanks.
It's a alittle after 10, and I am fixing to go to bed. Trying to keep the baby up a little later tonight, in hopes that she won't be up at 3:30, and wanting to play again.

maybe the baby doesnt want to play,maybe he wants to restore the polyphasic sleep patterns of pre-indurstrial man. That's what I always tellmy wife when she says the baby wont sleep at night... he jjust wants to be a monk gettingg up at 3am to pray the office. or trying to make sure the village is safe from marauders....like his older brother

How very sweet.
Reminds me of my mom when I broke my back 10 years ago and needed in home care for a month or two. We hired caregivers but gave up on them (maybe they gave up on me), and my mom, at age 84 (or so) took over everything including physical help . Even before this she was always so tired and had trouble sleeping and hated being woken up, and was pretty frail. But she absolutely insisted she wanted to do it, and she did a marvelous job. ...It was strange that when I was living with her before she died at 94 she was healthy and
rarely needed physical help herself. Somehow God has been very easy on me through most of life this far...
I've always liked old people, even besides my parents, and even when I was a teen. Now I almost am one (not yet >:(), and I don't think I'll be able to live up to my Mom or Dad, or many others that I've known.

Just where is this strange land you speak of? I have found it to be very elusive. A myth maybe?

Open now. Spent day making bread and apple crisp. Now tired. Tomorrow will be better than today. Getting better. So glad! Thanks for prayers. It is nice to be up and around. You guys were so funny and kind while I was sick. Thank you.

That is sooo wonderful to hear! God is good. Keep it up Lady!
Got a nice fire. Smell of homemade bread.....very conducive to drowsiness. No sleeping yet. Ches can cat nap. Those are just appetizers before real sleep. Real sleep, real sleep sometimes, requires benadryl and melatonin. And nice cuddly blankets. I love good bedding. Don't cha'all? I am thankful I don't have a drafty house. Had plenty of those!
So, what did everyone do today? Tell mammy.
I cleaned my whole house, did dozens of loads of laundry, drove all over town buying everything I need for Thanksgiving, and made enchiladas for dinner. During all of this the children have been oddly cooperative. :D

I don't have children, but don't ever accomplish so much.. in a DAY? Of course I don't need to, but I'm embarrassed by how little I do even for a month, week, let alone a day... (No details forthcoming)
You mothers (and other women here) really impress me.

Oooh, yes. ;D I rejoice every year when it gets cold enough to put the heavy blankets and featherbed on. It's actually not as cold as it should be here, for the time of year, and I'm feeling cheated. :lol:
As for today's accomplishments: laundry, sewing, and alas, bathing the cat.

Ah, a Mother's wisdom. I would love to live long enough to find out how it works out. A Father's realistic guiding mind, or a Mother's wise heart. Interesting indeed.

What she said ^
All I accomplished today is that I'm not listing to the right as much, not feeling as "floaty", finished my correspondence from my Mom's death, finally received contact from my Uncle, made contact with the Community Thanksgiving Dinner people to see about volunteering Thursday (we try to do that every year, usually making deliveries), and now I'm trying to figure out which design to put on my nails for Thanksgiving. Lame, I know, but it's a step in the right direction. :-[ 8)

hey being on someone elses schedule is not for the faint of heart
i always see being a parent as about training our replacements to do the job we will one day no longer be alive to do. maybe it's because i am in the "winter" of my life and am more dependent than both of my children... it sure isn't easy having to be on someone else's schedule and not knowing what happens next... and I can't blame my sonfor being fussy and crying sometimes,i am like that too when i wake up and no one is there except when,i wake up no sound comes from my voice anymore....i might be screaming inside but youcant hear it,unless a nurse deflates the cuff on my trach...nothing but silence just waiting for someone to come. often joke about it being "great silence" like in a monastery except actuallyreally frightning....thank god for tablets and text messaging....althoughsometimes people dont checktheir texts,i can text my wife but not the nurses so they have no idea

Dear God, Ches. The things you have to go through... I woke up the other night from a nightmare that had me literally paralyzed except for shaking from the inner core of my being. I couldn't make it stop, and the visions from hell were still filling my mind and my eyes. I keep wondering how to unsee a dream. I've had alot of bad things happen in my life at night, but this was new. So many of them all at the same time. I couldn't cry out, I couldn't pray or picture Our Lord or the Blessed Mother, I was overcome and consumed by this horror. I thought I was going to die. I've had pain in my head so bad that I've tried cutting off all my hair after spending hours with my head in a trash can losing more than I had eaten in a week, crying to the point I no longer had tears, and not being able to put two thoughts together. But this was worse than that. This shook my soul and I don't know how or why.
I can't even begin to imagine the things you go through. I know God provides for us so we can save our souls no matter the situation we are in, but now I can't help but wonder about that. What if I would have died in that moment that my mind and body were out of control? I don't know. I've got to think it through again. How do you deal with these things? How do you accept them with such grace? You are amazing and you certainly have my admiration and prayers. It's time to try for bed. God bless and keep us all close to His most Sacred Heart and the Heart of His Immaculate Mother.

yeah,sleep paralysis can be really frightening too...that sounds like a particularly scary episode... can happen with nightmares or any sort of dream,iused to have it happen when i was a kid. how long did it last for you,for me it was always a few seconds but they felt like very long seconds...
how do i deal with these things? one day at a time i guess...it's the only way. that and I kvetch and moan a lot. i have a hard time making sense of it...far from accepting it with grace. I am luckythat I have a supportive family

Maybe she'll be a nun some traditional orders still have a biphasic sleep cycle
In such convents, obedience is a prized virtue. So, I'm just giving her a chance to really hone that virtue; especially when it comes to giving up something she likes, such as choosing her own sleep habits ;)
hey being on someone elses schedule is not for the faint of heart
i always see being a parent as about training our replacements to do the job we will one day no longer be alive to do. maybe it's because i am in the "winter" of my life and am more dependent than both of my children... it sure isn't easy having to be on someone else's schedule and not knowing what happens next... and I can't blame my sonfor being fussy and crying sometimes,i am like that too when i wake up and no one is there except when,i wake up no sound comes from my voice anymore....i might be screaming inside but youcant hear it,unless a nurse deflates the cuff on my trach...nothing but silence just waiting for someone to come. often joke about it being "great silence" like in a monastery except actuallyreally frightning....thank god for tablets and text messaging....althoughsometimes people dont checktheir texts,i can text my wife but not the nurses so they have no idea
Dear God, Ches. The things you have to go through... I woke up the other night from a nightmare that had me literally paralyzed except for shaking from the inner core of my being. I couldn't make it stop, and the visions from hell were still filling my mind and my eyes. I keep wondering how to unsee a dream. I've had alot of bad things happen in my life at night, but this was new. So many of them all at the same time. I couldn't cry out, I couldn't pray or picture Our Lord or the Blessed Mother, I was overcome and consumed by this horror. I thought I was going to die. I've had pain in my head so bad that I've tried cutting off all my hair after spending hours with my head in a trash can losing more than I had eaten in a week, crying to the point I no longer had tears, and not being able to put two thoughts together. But this was worse than that. This shook my soul and I don't know how or why.
I can't even begin to imagine the things you go through. I know God provides for us so we can save our souls no matter the situation we are in, but now I can't help but wonder about that. What if I would have died in that moment that my mind and body were out of control? I don't know. I've got to think it through again. How do you deal with these things? How do you accept them with such grace? You are amazing and you certainly have my admiration and prayers. It's time to try for bed. God bless and keep us all close to His most Sacred Heart and the Heart of His Immaculate Mother.
Dear friend. Will be praying no more bad dreams. This is too much. :grouphug:

Ches, I'm sorry you have to go through that. It sounds horrific. I will keep you in my prayers.
But, please don't think that my keeping the baby up a little later in the evenings, to help shift her sleep time by a few hours, is in anyway causing her to experience what you experience. No need to feel sorry for her, she's doing just fine :). I don't blame babies for crying, either. It's her only way of really communicating at two weeks old. We co-sleep with her, and practice attachment parenting, so it's rare that she even needs to cry, because I beleive in responding promptly to all of baby's cues before they get to the all out crying stage. And, when we keep her up later in the evening, we don't just leave her in a room alone to cry by herself. It's usually either myself, my husband, or one of the kids that's holding her, talking to her, and keeping her engaged. She actually seems to really like it. So, no need to be concerned that she's suffering or anything, but I do appreciate your perspective and your concern. Besides, I was only joking about teaching her obedience by sleep training. She's only two weeks old. It's not time for all that just yet. I pretty much follow her lead on when she needs to eat, sleep, wants to be awake and played with, etc....except for her bedtime....I do try to push that one back, since I have other kids that need me during that day, and it's important for me to be well rested so I can properly care for them, too. It's not necessarily just about me and my sleep preferences :)
Get outta bed! Go get your coffee. It's time.

Skinfs like she is lucky to have so mane people to love her do you think keep her up a little later helps my wife is in the same boat except he's 2 months he is starting to get grabby which is developmentally appropriate but makes it hard to be close to me so they swaddle him

She is very loved around here, and very lucky to be so, indeed.
We've only tried it for two nights now, but it worked beautifully. She still wakes up to nurse often, but she goes right back to sleep, so it's not a big deal. Will that last? Who knows. That's the thing with those tiny ones....their sleep needs change so frequently and are very sporadic, so it is pretty much a constant trial and error for the first few years. Or, that's how mine have all been, anyway. They settle into a good routine of sleeping all night by three-ish for us.
I love swaddled babies :). They are so sweet.
Open until not. Decided that anyone that wants a nightcap...can have one here.
I said.......NOW OPEN. FREE NIGHTCAPS, and cigars.
How can I go to bed, when clearly no one, no one is coming in to have a night cap and say good night. Ches, where are you? Non nobis? Munda? Dymphna? Heinrich? Clau Clau? Geremia? Louis? Lynne? Kaese? Martin? Miriam? Jubilate? Stella? Lydia? ResRev? Spera? Fleur? Michael Wilson? Clarence? Jayne, come post a picture or SOMETHING.
Don't be shy. I'm not. Ok, I'll sweeten the deal....with some of Munda's enchiladas. And some Baileys. And some Royal Crown. And some margaritas. And a new toothbrush for use before you really go to bed.
So.......where is everyone...? Probably on the last movie you saw thread, now that no one is hawking the thread. Very well. I think I'll just have some Baileys on ice for a sweet night cap. Hey, that tastes like another. Sorry guys. Bar closed.
"Go to bed" is now open. Wines and mixed drinks for the ladies who work their poor fingers to the bone making thanksgiving a delight for their families. They may wish to turn in early. Or not. They may get a second wind and go ahead and make that cherry pie. I say STOP to those silly fools. Sit. That's right, sit and enjoy the drink, even chew your ice if you please.
Bernadette, Burt and Ernie did NOT eat Big Bird. Neither did Oscar. those were fake legs you saw. How do I know this? Birds have much skinnier legs. Plus if you squint you can see a seam. Now would the real Big Bird have a seam? There, there now. Go make your self a strong one. You had quite a scare today.
You are too loosy goosy tonight! Break out the medium (not strong!) stuff for the night. We are going to be here a while. Is anyone else making Foo Foo?
Ok. So maybe I did imbibe a bit of my offering to my people. Loose yes, maybe. Goosey, no way. Dymphna, I have to taste test the offerings. Quality check.

Benedette, do you really get your chocolate from Britain? Why?
Quote from: Carleendiane on November 23, 2016, 07:47:43 PM
Benedette, do you really get your chocolate from Britain? Why?
Because the Hershey's version of Cadbury's tastes like
Hershey's. :ack: Hershey's adds a certain enzyme to their chocolate (and because of Hershey's' [Miriam, how do I punctuate that?] popularity, a lot of other chocolate makers do, too) which makes it taste...slightly sour. Other, enzyme-free milk chocolate tastes much smoother and richer. But no more British chocolate, anyway:
German is where it's at. ;D I had no idea Ritter Sport came in all those flavors!

Foo Foo is one of my family's traditional holiday dishes. It may have a different name that I'm not aware of though.
Mix together in a bowl and refrigerate:
1 large container of cottage cheese
1 large container Cool Whip
1 large jar or can of mandarin oranges, drained
1 large box of orange jello
You can add a variety of ingredients i.e., pineapple, coconut, pecan bits
You can make it with a different fruit flavor i.e. strawberry jello, strawberries
The only foo foo I know is those balls of dough they eat in West Africa.

Open......NOW!!!!!!! HEY! No pushing and shoving or you'll have to return your trophies to Chestertonion. And this is not a safe place for bad behavior. Let me make that perfectly clear.And if you get the play doh out, put it away again!
Music chariots of fire......I WON! ME! I WON! BEAT YA DYMPHNA! Oh. Sorry. A bit noisy. HEY....SHUT THE **** CHARIOTS UP!!!!!!! But, I beat Dymphna.
Somebody forgot to turn the lights on on the fishtanks again, which means they (the fish) didn't get fed. How many times... Nevermind, I'll take care of it. Remember, Fido, Princess, and Charlie need their Thanksgiving dinners and water too!
Dymphna. It was just a race. C'mon. Don't be this way. Please sit down and drink beer. Here, you can have lots of it. Just don't be mad. I'll never race you again. Even if I did beat you on my wooden leg. Meh!
Dymphna, I like how you quickly switch the conversation from your loss to the dead fish. Now THAT is quite a rebound!

Oh, I'm not mad. This is my 'I'm very serious about finding a way to learn to run better so I can beat Carleen' face. I guess walking first instead of flying is a good strategy, right? ;) Oh, and I don't like beer, I know, I know, such words should never be spoken in the same sentence, but there it is.

I seem to have run out after putting that last batch on my head. I forgot to refill the trays. Gentleman Jack forgot to remind me and now I'm out.

Dymphna, I warned you over on the etnicity thread to not be gambling with greg and now....see what happened. Check your pockets. I think I know how you got that bump on your head! He may have stolen your jack Daniels flask.
It is time to brush teeth. Ok. Ok. You get another hour. That's it. I am tired. But who cares! I am staying up til 10. Yup, I know. I'm crazy. I'm wild. But...there you have it.

Super-stuffed down filled comforter, topped with an 11 pound acrylic pile blanket. Keeps the warmth from the feathers in, like a bird's outer feathers, don'cha know. ;) My pillow is stuffed with chunks of memory foam, which apparently mold to the shape of my head. I'm a side sleeper, so I need a firm pillow. And I also need to hug something while I sleep, to feel secure, so I sleep with a giant plush bear. With claws. :)

Bernadette you have a system, a sleeping system . I want to sleep at your house. You really know how to sleep.
Wait, I forgot the featherbed. On top of the futon, but under the fitted sheet, and the sheet can't go under the futon too, otherwise it will mash the featherbed's fluffiness. That fluffiness is all-important. And I listen to audio books to fall asleep. Dickens, Sherlock Holmes, or St. Teresa of Avila these days. Nothing better on a cold night than snuggling in and listening to a good book. :thumbsup: Now, in summer the pretty, snuggly blankets and featherbed go away and I sleep under just a doubled sheet, because I can't sleep without something covering me. I'm a creature of habit. :lol:

Hubby's like this. Winter stresses him out with all of the less than sunny days, due both to weather and because the sun doesn't stay out as long. We've got 3 super heavy blankets. 2 are from Korea (my Godson's friend/lawyer got several for him during her last trip back there )and 1 we bought in Mexico before we left San Diego. I'd be willing to guess they are at least 12 pounds each. I can only put one on at a time when I make the bed. I roast when there is only one on, let alone 3, but he just puts his fan on right in front of his face and he's good for the night.
Me? Just give me the awesome blanket we found at Cabela's in their clearance room. It's extremely soft and fluffy. You barely know it's there. It's like sleeping on a cloud. I like my medium pillow, but I love it when you add a stuffed tiger that will twist in such a way that it fit's your head under your neck.
It's dark here. So....go to bed is now open. Just don't go to bed yet or you'll be posting in the 4 o'clock thread with eyes wide open.
8:30. Time to finish the beer, wine or mixed drinks or you'll be up, tripping your way to the bathroom. Not fun. I have to be done drinking by this time. Do I have to remind you guys that there is only one dymphna, and only so many of her angels to escort you to the bathroom and back safely. You can't count on me as I will be sleeping.

And I went to the Spanish Mass today, and had to listen to the language being completely butchered. I didn't know a cringe could last that long. I need pumpkin cheesecake after that! :'(

Ches, when you did eat, did you like peeps?
I need to get flannel sheets. I love flannel sheets in the winter.
We sleep under a quilt (store-bought ::) ) and an electric blanket.

I get too hot with flannel. I need cool sheets, and love quilts, as long as not too warm. My room is near a big heat duct with a strong fan dispensing heat from the wood burner in the basement.

Marshmallow has always appealed to me. I'm not proud of it. I loved chocolate covered marshmallows, Charleston chews. I also liked snickers, paydays, almond joy, York peppermint patties. And jelly beans

I prefer candy with peanuts in it. Preferably covered in chocolate. Right now my current favorites are Goldenberg's Original Peanut Chews: little tiny bars, with peanuts and molasses, covered in dark chocolate. Reese's Nutrageous bar is always appreciated, too. Next comes hazelnut, and almond as a last resort.

Bernadette we must NEVER hang out together for more than an hour. It would make me fat and fatter. We sure would have a lot of entertainment for our tastebuds. I love all I shouldn't and not what I should.
Peeps are fantastic. For science!

No, you did not say you want them in your mouth, but clearly you have appreciation for them. Thank you for weighing in on this interesting and most worthy topic of discussion. May this not be your only appearance in go to bed thread.
So this is my second appearance but hopefully I'll not make a third. Just need to perfect my secret, alchemical experiment for a sleep-free lifestyle. I think it needs more chocolate.

Hahahaha....you are totally looking at this from the wrong perspective. All this means is, more peeps for you! We are just trying to help you ;)
Oh. I see. I think. You hate peeps, I like peeps. You don't eat peeps. I do eat peeps. I eat disgusting peeps. I eat your disgusting peeps. And MLG's disgusting peeps. I win? I'm the winning eater of disgusting peeps.I am disgusting. Somehow, I'm not seeing the advantage here.
OK, you all don't know disgusting peeps from anything. I stuck my tongue on a dried up, pull it off the inside of the couch, crunchy peep last year. It had been left there for quite a while, so I stuck my tongue on it. You've got your winner of not hating disgusting peeps right here. I can only eat one or two non-disgusting peeps in a sitting, but that's alright. I make my way through them well enough. There's just something about having the crunchy sugar that sounds as loud as a fog horn in your mouth as you crunch down. Then comes the sweet sticky and soft stuff that makes your mouth just sigh from the goodness. Yep, you all are right. Peeps R teh debbil!!! Bring anything you don't want anymore as well as all your evil peeps, to me, and I'll get rid of them for you. However, if you bring someone to meet me, This might be a good time. We can make a night of it. :)
Gear up, Peeps!! And Giddy Up!! And Let's ride!!

Oh dymphna, I knew I loved you. Now I super know it. WE LIKE DISGUSTING PEEPS! Yes, it's true there is no merit in eating peeps, but WE, dymphna and I, do not cave under all the hate speech being thrown our way. We're not saying we do not like more worth candy candidates more, we just refuse to abandon our peeps. Look, the peep under the cushion of dymphna'so couch, stayed patiently until it was found. That's why we stick by our peeps.

I'm not sure what 'alchemical' means, but if you want a "sleep-free lifestyle", I have a newborn (she comes with six siblings, too!!) you can borrow. Although,
why that is your goal, I can't fathom.

Sleep-deprived isn't the same as sleep-free. 16 hours a day is enough to complete mundane daily tasks done but I'm struggling to find time to build my volcanic island base and take over the world. The extra 8 hours should do the trick.

Don't you know? Sexism. Women are expected to be kind, gentle and nurturing. Men who microwave peeps are viewed as strong, respected members of society.

Sorry, but no coffee table. The weekdays are already taken for the rest of the year and I don't build on Sundays. On that note, a leisurely afternoon and evening of reading, watching videos and pretending to make useful contributions to forums is over for now.

OPEN!!!!! Let's not push and shove.....the thread will be open until good morning. Get a beer or mixed drink or straight up. Rocks. No rocks. Who cares? All the bedding got washed today. Fresh as can be. Man, doing that sure kicks my washers butt. But who cares? We have a very big bedroom. Wooden, old floors. We have never refinished them, but should. The bedroom gets the dregs of our energy and creativity. Not greatly motivated to work on a room no one sees.
Anybody??? Y'all putting kids to bed? Still eating? C'mon. I fired up the thread. It's all greased and ready to go!!!! Is it me? Is it my wooden leg? Floppy hand? Ok, so I DIDN'T shower and do my hair. Go ahead throw stones. I washed up and brushed my two teeth. O. It's my two teeth. Joking. Hey, I was just jokin. You bunch of millenials probably don't even have a cavity. Well someone has to represent the boomers here. Someone has to be a bridge connecting the youth with the wise boomers.That's me. Come I have a safe place for all.
You know, monologues, well they are a very lonely conversation. Sometimes I can almost cheer me up. Almost. But monologues only convey your very aloneness. it is obvious to all that read your monologue that no one, no one has come to see you. No one wants to walk in on a monologue. Why is that? I think...tell me if I'm wrong.....I think they fear.....catching.....mono. Seriously, if they break in on a monologue, they fear they too may break out into a monologue. I just want to assure you, that is not true. Most are immune to monologues. Truth.

Finally! I've been waiting outside for 2 hours for this place to open. Anybody have any of those vodka Gummi Bears? What about jello shots? Saw a commercial for jello while pulling something up to listen to earlier, and it's got me going for a novelty drink. Peach jello shots are the best. My niece makes those with a tiny bit of Peachtree Schnapps and vodka. Not a combination I'd normally put together, but in this situation, it seems to work. I'll come back in a bit to see if anyone has any good ideas.
How is Miss Carleen doing? You did the bedding? With a cracked rib? You poor girl. And that poor bedroom! How can you not be motivated to work on the room that cradles your weary body every night, no matter what kind of day you've had. Those days when you are counting the hours and can't get to bed fast enough. Those days when you come in and are so giddy with excitement that you never want the day to end. Some days, you just need a little nap to rejuvenate for the rest of the day. Not to mention the times when you've been so hurt or overwhelmed by someone and just need a minute to compose yourself.
No, this is no ordinary bedroom. This is your room (yours and Hubby's I mean). While I would say yes, no one else is going to see it, but it is precisely because of that, that you should cherish it. This room gives and gives, and gives some more to you, even to the point of waiting hours and hours for you to come back for a visit. Give yourself a treat tomorrow. Go into your room and try to look around with fresh eyes. When was the last time you painted? Would like like there to be a different color on the walls? A new quilt on the bed or perhaps just start with a pillow.
You look around and see old wooden floors that need help. You see dilapidated, but don't realize just what you take out of the floors from either pacing back and forth, worrying or holding a sick baby, or any number of things. With each step you take, the floor is there for you to walk on, to take care of all your walking needs.
If I had my druthers, every room would be painted butter yellow. Such a soothing, peaceful color. :) When I moved from my mother's to my aunt and uncle's, my uncle gave up his office for me to have a bedroom, and we painted over the teal that he had chosen with...butter yellow. Like, three coats. So it has extremely positive connotations for me, of safety and stability.

I so agree with you, Bernadette. I love butter yellow! That's the color I want my house to be. Unfortunately, we can't change the color of our house, unless we move. You can't paint over aluminum siding. I hadn't thought of painting the inside of the house that color (or colour for our foreign friends ;) ). Hmmm Thanks Bernadette!
OPEN!!!!!!!!! Go ahead, finish your dinner, but dessert is right here. Dymphna has some very special jello for you. That's right, I said jello. She has jello made with schnapps and vodka. This is your dessert. Plus the effect you get helps mellow you out. But if that doesn't appeal to you, we have a nice red wine and fine German beer. Put your feet up by the fire and call it a day. Let the kids put themselves to bed. If we had a coffee table things would be perfect, but Akavit has been somewhat hard hearted about making us one. Yes, I know.....he IS a good man, but there you have it. And strangely, he has recently become much more verbose. Kinda long winded.

Ches, been having some physical issues, but nothing critical. Still working on family fracture. I have nothing great to report. But, the sun still shines, birds still sing and life marches on. Every day is a gift, which I wish I would make great use of to make progress. Geesh, I waste more time than I use well. I really need to get serious about the next life, but I keep dragging my feet. I think I am way too attached to this world. I just hope I grow up someday. Thanks for asking, my friend. Oh, husband and I still pray everyday for you and family. Hope you get home soon, Ches.
Tornado warning. Not much prospect of sleep, right at the moment. Been down in the shelter with our next-door neighbors. :P
And we'll pass on the dessert. The neighbors are Baptists.

Well Bernadette, an Ave for safety for you aunt and Baptist neighbors. So you are in your safe space All you need is hot cocoa and play doh.
Dymphna, my room is not nearly as dismal as I may have conveyed. It is a lovely color and has a very large rug. My husband would never live in a dive. He'll buy a dive and have it in good shape within a short amount of time. He is very ambitious. The rest of the house is quite lovely. The bedroom is nice enough to be comphy.We have very similar taste in decor so we never argue about furniture fixtures or colors. The bedroom is just not as decorated as the living or dining room. Not to worry. I am quite satisfied as it is until get around to putting more time and energy into it.

Oh, my! It seems I've stepped in it again with my ability to be stupid and my inability to communicate. I never, ever wanted you to think I meant you were living in a dive or that your Husband would make you live in a dive. Never, ever. I'm sure it's quite lovely. I am so sorry for offending you like that. Maybe someday I'll learn. I'll keep working on it.
I'm a little confused by this statement though; "You have out-monolog used me Dymphna." What does this mean? Again, sorry for the confusion. :-[

Oh my sweet friend, but I was not offended! You stinker! I should have not elaborated. It's just that decorating is a bit of an art that we both enjoy. Especially decorating on a shoestring budget. Anyway, have a drink dymphna! Cheers. You have to work harder than that to offend me. Really. I'm not thin skinned.
And the part you didn't get...was changed by my tablet, and it did not make sense. It was supposed to say...You have out monologued me. Because I had been going on about my own pathetic monologues. After all my talk about my monologues, you come in with longish post. I was making fun. But being true to my superpower the"confuser" .....all I did was confuse my friend Dymphna. My bad. :cheeseheadbeer:

OK, I've had my jello shots (the peach ones and the pineapple were awesome), thanks to maryslittlegarden and OCLittleFlower. Just what I needed! And the vodka'd gummy bears were quite yummy! So glad I had a I'll cover them now, but since they don't need to be refrigerated we'll just leave them out for anyone one who wants one.

I'll bring the 11-pound acrylic blanket. I'm sure the dog can bring the weight up to 18 pounds. And the "safe space" is free now. ;) I almost died laughing when I heard the weather announcer call it that! :lol:

To calm my husband's stress I would need a 50 lb. blanket and a ton of play doh. And a helmet playing chant.

For my stress, I just need his stress gone. The dog is an essential part of our remedy. Sometimes I wish Logan would sleep with us. He won't because he was taught to stay off beds and furniture. He has been caught stretched out on the couch in the middle of the night. But for the most part, if he was taught not to, he wont.
Ok, back to bed now. Maybe this time will be the charm. Nite all. Nite Kaese.

Wow! I was telling Hubby about your eighteen pound blanket, he turned green with envy. Do they plug in and heat that way, or do they have another way to heat it?
I have a twelve pound blanket with heat and vibrations. It's on my lap now. To turn up the vibrations, you just have to pet her. :D

Now that's my kind of blanket!! I used to wear ear muffs to bed. Honkey on one side and Skye on the other. I sure to miss my ear muffs this time of year.

wow that's a lot of deep pressure and proprioceptive input :)
another good way to get proprioceptive input is lifting heavy things, or pushing/pulling something heavy,or heavy exercise.

the weighted blanket i have is not an electric blanket. My wife made it from a kit thatshe ordered from this site:
http://www.mosaicweightedblankets.com/xlarge-diy-kit-42x72-18-lbs-poly-pellets/
Anybody else really starting to want one? :P
Open! Oh, my, goodness. This is so oops open. Sorry it took so long. Just got back from Jackson, and now getting the night drinks ready for all. Ok. There. Come. We have drinks and blankees for all.

Well it was chilly but decent today. But temp is going down now. Warm enough, but will need a fire soon or it'll be a cold night. Hi Ches. 3 blankets huh? You just need one with a dial.
I knew it was cold out today when Hubby wore pants, instead of shorts to work. I don't even need to pull up the NWS anymore. :violin: :lol:

Yes it is getting cold. I think warm is done for now. And we haven't got our fire made. But we do have a ton of blankets. Just grab one and roll up in it. Sleeping bags for the overnighters. Pillows, well, bring your own. Anyone shows up in shorts will be loaned something warmer.
It's wimpy wimpy Californian cold (50s). My heater was even on for a while.
Pollyanna (my cat) is ready for me on my bed. She'll snuggle in near me, sometimes not touching me, but close enough for easy petting. Then she'll run away for a while for reasons unknown.
My sweatshirt (which I wore today for the first time in a while) says "Life is BETTER when shared with a CAT". I've worn this sweatshirt through years both with and without cats, so I can verify firsthand that the saying is true.
Goodnight all.
OPEN. Just don't go climbing into bed yet. You should probably eat some dinner and give some thought to saying your rosary. After dinner is a good time. Then you can get a drink from the virtual bar. That's right we now have a bar. So stop in for a quick one when you get a chance. If you are afraid I may not have your drink of choice, bring your own. Oh, drinks on the house.
Did I say DONT CLIMB INTO BED YET? Well, I could climb right into bed now. I mean after a stiff drink. Hubby just had a bad accident. He is fine but the car is wrecked. Only car. Guess I won't be going out to coffee this weekend with my son Andrew. I could cry for many reasons. We do not have a high deductible, but who knows when the car will be back on the road. At least I can rejoice in the fact that husband is fine. And I do. Really. But my son finally reaches out to me aNd THIS!!! Well it's not like God is unaware of this. Guess I just have to wait and see what's going to come of this. Maybe meet up with my son after we figure out what we are gonna do about the car. Yes that's what I will do. Ok. Rant over.
C'mon Chestertonian. I attached a picture of my dog. Therapy dog. Do you need socks? He'll find you some!
Oops. When I modified it put another of the same picture on. ^^^^^^^^sorry.

That's a fine dog you have imsure he is very cuddly
Yes, Ches, he is so stinkin cuddly. Too big for my lap but great to roll on the floor with. Great to sit with your arm around. It's fun to share food with him. He politely and slowly takes it from your fingers very careful not to nip. And he seriously chews his food. He doesn't inhale it like most dogs.
Tomorrow's discontent are a sweet offering my friend because I know what they are like for you. That would be much appreciated. In payment we do our daily for you.
G-night all. Tired, tried. Need to go to bed. Tomorrow a new day.
Come on in! Come on in and celebrate with me. I had a wonderful, talkative, warm, sweet time with my son Andrew! I know all is not healed up, but Andy and I are good. Now, there's much praying needed to heal the family rift, but just to know, with no doubts, my son is going to be ok. I will be better now. Thanks everyone for your patience with my mournful ways. I have hard work ahead of me to fight the demon that has divided my family or at least some in the family. But double down on prayer is the order of the day. I will be like the woman that begs and begs until she gets what she wants. I am a beggar. Until I get unity for my family. A beggar....me.
It sucks that you can't just say: "Kids! Be nice to your brother!" anymore. :( :pray3:

Fleur, you have chosen one of my very favorite liquors. I will surely indulge tonight. Thank you for your kindness.
Look at me. I'm up, but should be down. Just can't sleep yet. But I must. I have to open up in the morning thread. I must . I can't always make Jayne do it. Oh, she's willing enough, but I don't want her to feel taken advantage of. I will try again. In a bit. In a bit I will crawl back in my warm cacoon. Besides hubby will just get up looking for me. I don't get away with much. His Marine senses are still very sharp. But he is tired, thoughin better spirits than after his accident.
It's still early here. Come and sit by the fire with me. Put that soft afghan around you. Let the dog sit at your feet. And let's have another drink, shall we?

There is plenty of room at my hearth - two big couches, chairs, and an ottoman. Come and make yourselves comfortable.
Fluer, ìve been looking and can't find a pastry. Now I know hubby brought some to you tonight. Well. Maybe you'll share them in the morning thread. Where can they be?

There now I can sleep and have sweet dreams. See you tomorrow.
OK my peeps, fleur-de-lys is not gonna have her way with me tonight. I will stand firm and not be sucked in to her smooth persuasive ways! She is so slick with her warm hospitality and warm fire. Somehow she even knew my favorite firewater. She played on my ancestral weaknesses. I went for it and spent the evening toddling about bumping into corners and furniture. I should have topped the night off at the reservation casino. But amaretto. I love amaretto. What am I doing? Blaming it on the forum dinner queen. It was my fault. Oh. My. Just give me some firewater and I fall apart. Forgive my overindulgence Fleur. Do you have any more?
Dymphna, Ches? You guys, quit hiding on me. Or from me.

Imnlt the one who's hiding dymphna is under the bed looking for the cat
Oh my dymphna, be careful!!!!! The cat might scratch and you could get cat scratch fever.
Ches, how are your weak legs doing? Getting stronger? They have to so you can give dymphna a break on her nightly rounds. We will fit you out with a holster, gun and flashlight.

Not tonight, Carleendiane. It's Saturday! As soon as the children are asleep, I'm going over to Stella's to take a dip in the jacuzzi, sip caipirinhas, and practice my Portuguese. You're welcome to come along. Don't worry if you don't speak Portuguese. By the second caipirinha you'll be fluent. I always am. :D
See Fleur, maybe our association is a near occasion of intoxication. What did you say you and Stella would be drinking? Sounds interesting, but what is in it? I may join you. Can I bring my swimmies. My floats. Just in case. Just in case I do overindulge, which I wont. But just in case you make me by peer pressure. A jacuzzi? Would I have to wear a bathing suit? Can I wear my pj's. I haven't a swimsuit. But I do have a shower cap.
Caipirinhas are a Brazilian cocktail made with cachaça (a liquor made from sugarcane) lime, and sugar. They're very nice. But please do wear a swimsuit, or something more than a bathing cap, for pity's sake, Carleendiane! :D

Dymphna, they want me to ...you know...join them in a hot tub. I'm not feeling real good about this. Dymphna, it might be immodest. What should I do? Go drinking at the casino instead? Dymphna, how can you say such a thing? I'm safer with fleur. You want to join her and stella, too? Ches can keep watch around here. He's NOT coming. Besides I doubt he has a swimsuit.

Mmmmm. Sounds so international, fleur. You forgot, I will also have my arm floats. Remember? I'll stay under water. Oh! I have to remember my nose plug from my synchronized swim days. True. I did do that. And I can hold my breath so long. Too long.
F-l-e-u-r...does Stella know about her hot tub party? I mean....does she know she has a hot tub? Or is this gonna be a surprise party?
Stella won't mind. And she needs a chaperone. It's only proper after all.

Well if Dymphna goes, i go. Dymphna will be the chaperone, if she has something to wear into the hot tub. She can borrow a shower cap. And nose plug.
Ches, come back. I was just kidding about you watching the perimeter. Really, and what I said about you not having a swim suit? I'm sure you have a drawer full. Nose plugs too.

Well... I am sorry I wasn't there to properly receive you all this evening. But I see Fleur let you in with the "spare key", a.k.a. that big rock by the window. It looks like you had a good time too, judging by the empty bottles of cachaça and the bubble bath in the jacuzzi. Next time just give me a little warning, okay? And remember, I do have neighbors. Some of them even get up to go to church in the morning. So, dymphna, try to keep it down. And Carleendiane, please, take a cue from Chestertonian; if you don't have a swimsuit, help yourself to one in the cabana by the pool. I have a wide selection of burkinis that even Jerome must approve.
I'm sorry Stella. At first I thought I was putting the empty bottles of bubble bath in the trash, then I realized I was wrong. Then it became a game. Who could I hit with an empty? Then it was whomever I hit's turn to throw. I knew we made quite a mess, and I had resolved to clean it up before I went to bed, but I sad down for a second to get a drink and boom! I went out like a light until a few minutes ago.
I'll get this cleaned up to look as good as new. Crud, I missed breakfast too. Well, let me say my morning prayers and then I'll get right on it.

Went out. Drinking hot cocoa now. Really. Even before reading this. Great minds and all that. Dymphna, did you do anything fun today? No bubbles today? Drinks? Awesome desserts? Go out to eat? Have friends over? Come. We will play in the snow. And drink hot chocolate. Bring Bernadette. Tell her she can wear her down coat.
Ches, did you ever get over to Stellas last nite? Hope not. It was chaos I tell you. Fleur, ever so cool and composed, and Dymphna and i, just the opposite. I told her, dymphna, not to wear flippers in the hot tub. Well you can imagine the bubbles (Mr bubbles) those flippers drummed up. She forced me to try them on and, I too got a bit carried away.Not as much as dymphna of course, but I'm not proud of my self, Ches. Tell me you did not see any of this. Besides, it was a bit inappropriate. And my shower cap? Not very classy in the hot tub. Neither was the one I lent to dymphna, really. But Fleur was well behaved and tried to be a good sport about it all. Dymphna cleaned up the mess today. Stella will never know what went on while she was gone.
Dymphna, please forgive my above post. It's just, well....I don't get out much and when I do, I virtually do things I wouldn't ordinarily do, you see. Then.....I feel the need to confess to all what I do, virtually. Sorry I dragged you into it. It's just that your bad behavior, well, kinda made me look a tad better. Not very nice, huh? Good thing Bernadette wasn't at Stella''s last night.
So...I'm waiting for you to show yourself, dymphna. Fleur? You mad? Ches? Bernadette, Ste?la? Munda, Jubilate? Res? Diaduit? Elizabeth? Martin? Jayne, Lynne? Non? Miriam, Spera? Anybody? Clarence? Oh. He's gone. St Jerome? He's gone too. Heinrich? He NEVER COMES! Has everyone gone to more interesting threads?
We can talk about things that make sense tonight. We can talk about deep subjects. How about ligers, or beefalos. We can talk food. Or booze. Or theology. I can wax profound on a number of topics.
Too tired to come out and play this evening. Yesteday was non stop. First thing yesteday morning, Husband and half the kids brought cows to the butcher; me and and the other half went grocery shopping. Brunch when we got home, then God-daughter's birthday party after that, and didn't get home until late. Mass and visiting with friends today. Worked on a Christmas gift for my inlaws when we got home. Had dinner, did my lesson plans for tomorrow, then built a puzzle with the kids. Caught up on our St. Anthony novena at night prayers, and now it's almost 9 pm, and bedtime. Nighty night.
I was just mentioning to Hubby today that tigers should be the King of the Jungle, not lions. Tigers are much more regal imho.

Alive...butcher won't take dead animals. It's against health safety regulation codes. We just drop it off, then a few weeks later we have nicely wrapped packages of beef :)
OPEN. The bed thread is open. Come on in and relax. Drinks on the bar. Virtually whatever you want. Bernadette, there is a hot cocoa with whip cream.

You know it lynne. You too had to go out to work. I'll bet your back hurts too! Made a cherry cobbler too. Help yourself.
Have any of you tried chocolate vodka? Oooo Wiiii is that some nasty stuff! The best hot chocolate I've ever had was as a kid when Mom would make it from scratch. I don't know where she got the recipe, but I'd like to find it. What is your favorite hot chocolate?

I don't know non. Just try it and let me know. And vodka doesn't go bad.
Will be open by 7:30. Hold your horses. Have to go get my new car.

Alright. Keep your pants on! Especially you dymphna! Get a grip. OK Now...OPEN.OPEN. OPEN.
Finally relaxin. Cherry cobbler anyone? Hubby decided he loves these cherries in a jar, slightly sweetened dark cherries. So when he found this particular brand he bought 3 cases of 12 jars each. That's how he is.He gets the biggest and most that he can. So he has some for hard times. He's funny that way. Biggest chunks of cheese, biggest bag of coffee, biggest jar of peanut butter, favorite jam, or whatever. Always the most or biggest available.

I used to love my bed, too. But then we had an argument over nothing and broke up. Beds can be so temperamental, you know? I think the old heated waterbed had too much of a hold on me. I just never got over it and I think the new bed instinctively knew it. It made for a lumpy relationship. I can't get the waterbed out of my mind. *sigh
I don't know if MLG brought the bug in or not, but I suggest everyone check themselves before coming into contact with others. Be vigilant everyone! We don't want the CSC (Centers for Sleep Control) breathing down our necks.

True. True enough. I did not think long enough or hard enough about thus, dymphna, but what you say makes too much sense. But then you do have water on you brain...there's that to consider.

Hmm. I can't say with certainty that it would harm you or to what extent (without looking into it some more first), but my gut tells me that it most likely isn't the best route to go. Especially long term.
Maybe you could try green tea instead? You can get the theanine in capsule form as well, but some would say it's better to just drink the tea and avoid the pills. Maybe Maximilian will see this and chime in, he knows a lot about green tea, etc. And of course, there are a few different herbal teas that can help as sleep aids, too!
That's all I've got off the top of my head -- now I'm going to listen to your harmonica songs!

Oh my friend, almost every day. I must decrease so He can increase, or something like that. I find my sore self having to find ways to busy myself so I don't just gravitate back to my bed. I LOVE MY BED.Too much. Yes, I must be on guard. Do you think Mary brought the get in bed disease to this thread and good morning thread?
I used to love my bed, too. But then we had an argument over nothing and broke up. Beds can be so temperamental, you know? I think the old heated waterbed had too much of a hold on me. I just never got over it and I think the new bed instinctively knew it. It made for a lumpy relationship. I can't get the waterbed out of my mind. *sigh
I don't know if MLG brought the bug in or not, but I suggest everyone check themselves before coming into contact with others. Be vigilant everyone! We don't want the CSC (Centers for Sleep Control) breathing down our necks.
Dymphna, maybe just a touch of water on the brain here. Just sayin. Your bed having temperament and all. Just doesn't make sense, love.
I posted two new songs in arts and leisure. Check it out, dymphna, pretty sweet. Good studio recordings.
Oh, I beg to differ, albeit politely. Haven't you ever heard of Tempurpedic mattresses? Tempurpedic is the Finnish word for temperamental. I do admit that water may be on my brain. But that's what they said my helmet was for. Guess I need to adjust the chinstrap. Off to go check out the new music.
True. True enough. I did not think long enough or hard enough about thus, dymphna, but what you say makes too much sense. But then you do have water on you brain...there's that to consider.

Thanks lydia. I appreciate your input. I'm inclined, without researching, to believe I do myself no favors using the benedryl, night after night, in this way. It's not natural. I know this. But thank you none the less. Max never pops his head in. Never. Just like Heinrich. Probably thinks it girly.
Fleur, there's no drama on the forum. Can't you drum up some sophisticated, classy drama? Please?

I LOVE MY BED.Too much. Yes, I must be on guard.
I have a "Sleep Comfort" bed that is 15-20 years old. Very comfy. It has been making funny creaking noises for a while now... (as in months). I have a paranoia that it is going to collapse under me! Maybe that is just what I need - it would certainly end our relationship!
OPEN!!!*!!! Home now! Come to the bed thread. Come as you are. I am in some baggy stretch pants and a baggy sweat shirt. I am adorable tonight. So stinking adorable. NOT.
I remind me of Pocohantas' fat mother....no matter how not fat I am, which I am not very not fat. Every single picture justifies this conclusion. Age is not kind. All you millennials will find out in time. For now, enjoy your top form, you are all fresh and young. Your turn, down turn, will come. Not that I wish it on you....O no. But, there is some peace to be had when you no longer have to think about IT. Well, you still want your clothes to both fit and match. And hair to not be scarey. But you know, no need to go all out. Besides, you reach an age where no one even notices you. Except maybe your doctor. If you're lucky. It's the over the hillers that pay their billers.
But no one can prepare us for THIS. So....This is the time we go out and buy a nice car.
Dymphna......would you like to weigh in on the subject of aging? Do you know that I am always young in my dreams. About 28 or 30.

Yes, Ches, real men do hang out in the bed thread. They love their beds too. They have much to say applicable to the bed thread. So why do they lack the courage to poke their head in? Not all men are made of the strong fiber you are, Ches.

Not me. But I am not a man. I like my bed. Love it. Hardly sleep at other people's homes, their beds. I could not sleep on a rock. Maybe I could on a rocking boat. When I was little I would bounce the bed til I fell asleep.

Dymphna......would you like to weigh in on the subject of aging? Do you know that I am always young in my dreams. About 28 or 30.
Why in the world would I want to do that? :P Actually, I'm kind of weird in that area. As a kid, I couldn't wait to hit 40. For some unknown reason 40 in my eyes meant retirement, grown children (never thought about grandchildren though), financial stability, and world travel, beginning with living in an RV and traveling the US, going to Mass at least once in every state. Then off to Europe and Asia. I've often been referred to as an "old soul" because of this.
But yes, there are so many things that are just unfathomable until you get to that point. I was always of the opinion that grey hair and wrinkles were hard earned character attributes. Now that I'm at that point, character attributes? Not so much. :lol: But I didn't really know how to relax and have fun until I was in my 40s. I was always the girl that was happier in the kitchen doing dishes at a party. Then on my 40th birthday, I began flight school to get my pilots license. And on my 41st we went on my first long distance Harley ride. My Mom said that that was when I "blossomed". I always hated that term, but I guess it fits. I've since found out that I'm not a butterface, like I previously thought. I'm no Miss America, but I'm not a butterface either.
So, to your point, Carleen, I wouldn't be young again if you paid me, but there are certain aspects of age that I wouldn't mind doing without. For instance, I'd like my brain back, please God. :pray3: I can only think of a couple of times that I was younger in my dreams. I don't remember ever being older either.
As to the sleep issue, I can barely sleep where I'm supposed to, let alone where I'm not. But after a few days of no sleep, I can usually, finally sleep where I am supposed to. :o 8)
Lookin for a volunteer to oversee the go to bed thread. Going to Mass and out to dinner.
This bumping thread needs a moderator! It can be wild in the bed thread. If Heinrich or Maximilian comes knocking make up a password they have to guess. That'll teach 'em. Especially Heinrich. He had the gall to send Ches and I to Mary's garden for farting around on a gun thread. Geesh. Sometimes you gotta put your foot down. Akavit is always welcome. Mike mac, welcome. He's nice to me. Red always welcome. Just use your best judgement. For some reason, Miriam does not come by. She doesn't know what she's missing. Have fun and remember....no pillow fights. That's how lamps get broken. Carleen, the hostess of go to bed.
I'm back now. Did not go out to eat, but picked up some ice cream. Breyer vanilla. A favorite of mine. Love to mix peanut butter in it. And cocoa powder. How do you guys jazz up your vanilla ice cream?

Fleur, you wouldnt, by chance, have some apple pie, do you?
The husband likes to mix in some ovaltine, and stir it up to make a malt shake. I just like a drizzle of chocolate syrup. I tend to be a plain Jane kind of gal when it comes to stuff like that. Every now and then, I like to go all out and have a full fledged ice cream Sunday....like, maybe once a year or so
I mix it into strawberry until I can't see it anymore. That or mix it with Hubby's in his bowl while I get some Butter Pecan. :grin:

No, but I think there's still a slice of pumpkin in the back of the fridge. I should probably go throw that away...

No! It's ok. I'll eat it. Oh, listen to me! I just had my ice cream. I don't need another bite. Go. Go throw the da** pie away! Before I eat it.
It's time. Time to get a drink of something, anything. Just get it and give it up. Really, are you going to make progress on anything right now? I have some hot cocoa, some Baileys, whisky, coffee, decaf, tea, beer, cigars. Come. The day is over. Really it is. Get in pj's if you haven't already. If you've been in them all day, just put some clean ones on.
The choir is practicing. Very beautiful backdrop to what we're doing right now. Just sitting in our room. Dog can't go join them, which breaks his doggy heart. Everyone is his friend, but one lady is allergic, so he has to stay in our bedroom. This is torture for Logan. So many people smells are being withheld from him. Sad. Just sad. He lays in the room completely despondent. He doesn't bark or whine, but you can see it in his eyes.Not kidding.He picks up a tad when we say our rosary, but then goes for a downward spin into sadness and depression. As soon as the allergy, party wrecker woman leaves, he out there charming his fans.

verytired,rehab is kicking my butt. supposed to go home soon sothey are trying to do as much as possibleinthe last few days. mrs c hasbeen busy learning vent/trach care and we are supposed to spend the night inthis "mock apartment" which is like an apartment off the rehab unit where people practice adl's duringthe day and supposed to try a night with my wife alone with no help from nursing staff and see how it goes before they dischargeme, if they areneeded they are right there. but the Mrs had to leave the baby at my moms after working a full day without the baby,so that is sad. but nice to have alone time,which we never get. i think my wife is too stressed and overwhelmed about not accidentally killing me to really enjoy herself. but hey, id rather die accidentally at home with her than live in a nursing home... its the final exam of rehab so to speak,if it goes well i go home

Yes that does seem odd, but a lot of chocolate ice cream does not have that true cocoa flavor. A lot of it tastes like it has been made with some kind of chocolate syrup.

Will say a few prayers it goes well Ches. I agree with you. I'd rather die at home, because of an innocent mistake, than at a hospital or nursing home. But yes, the stress involved with these delicate aspects must be heavy on her shoulders It won't be for long. It will become routine for her as she becomes adept at this. Of course you feel her stress. The responsibility is great. But it will become easier and she will feel less afraid of these responsibilities. She will be good at it because she loves you. She will WANT to do this for you. She will become so skilled and successful with these procedures, she won't want anyone else to do them for you. I know this. It would be a natural transition from fear to skill. When the ones we love need this or that, we find a way to do it and do it well.
G-nite all. Get some rest. Tomorrow will be here before you know it. See you in good morning, turn lights off and lock the doors. Do you want somebody to steal me? When they got into the light to checknow me out, they'd be p****d off and return me.
Wow, Ches! Carleen is right. Once the initial fear is overcome, you all will be pros at all the practices and procedures. There will still be a little fear, naturally. We love and take care of each other with the hopes that we never become part of what injures the other. Mentally, spiritually, or physically. When the one we love has an illness that we will participate in caretaking for, that just ups the ante a bit.
I never thought about it until your post about the "mock apartment", but that has such great potential to aid you all. A new Chief of Staff was hired at the psych hospital I worked at and his specialty was geriatric psychiatry. Soon after, a wing of the hospital that wasn't being utilized became the new geriatric wing. We set up a few connected rooms as an apartment with all the bells and whistles. It's main initial use was to aid in the diagnosis of dementia and Alzheimer's. At first I thought there was no way this was going to help. It didn't make sense to ask a possible dementia patient to remember where they put their checkbook so they could sit down and pay their bills or to know where the linen closet was so they could get the sheets out to make the bed in a completely foreign environment. But I found out that these things were part of the set up to discover the degree of difficulty the patient could handle. Soon "the apartment" was also used to examine how patients would interact with various family/caregivers, it allowed the doctors and nurses to evaluate whether or not a new treatment or medication was helping or hurting them. There were hundreds of applications this idea of a mock apartment helped.
Please don't misunderstand, I'm not comparing your situation with those of geriatric psych patients. I'm just saying that there may be a few ways that you all can benefit from a set up such as this that will be new. Prayers for a wonderful turnout.

was pretty nice we had the place to ourselves and the mrs slept ok. Going home tomorrow in time for my birthday and hopefully Christmas
Happy to hear this, Ches. Your family will be together. That is the greatest gift for this advent, Christmas season. I feel like kicking up my heals, But as you know, I cant. I am such an accident waiting to happen. If I kick my heals up, I'm the one who will spend Christmas in hospital. So instead I will rejoice in my heart. More mature anyway. Thanks God. Thanks for Ches being home for Christmas.
Yes! It's time, you know. It's time to take your pills. Time to get a snack, time to go find some pjs. Or get up and go clothes. Time to get that rosary said. Or to say novena. Time to get a drink. Time to pop that popcorn. Time to set that alsrm. Time to find your slippers and a nice cigar. Time to throw a log on the fire. Time to put kids to bed. Time to get your book. Or get that chocolate bar. Make your cocoa. Put on some music. Time to take the trash out. Time to chat with hubby. Or wife. Time to get those bills organized so you can send them out tomorrow . So find your check book. I spell my name, C-A-R--L-E-E-N. :cheeseheadbeer
Ok. That taken care of the GO TO BED thread is now open. Come on in. Bring your beverages and cigars. Oh, please slip your boots off. My wood floors, you know. Hubby, just a tad touchy about his floors.Hey, you have any sweets? A cookie, or pie or cake. Anything? Come on....you must have something. I don't want a hamburger. Or a brat. Just one small piece of pie. One small piece of cake. I just want a teeny treat. I do like fruit. What do you guys snack on at night?
Martin. We need to talk. I think...I don't know this....but I think that Heinrich has gotten to you.u We were doing so well too. Something happened, Martin. Something has created a wedge between us. Our friendly, supportive, pleasant relationship has been flushed down the toilet. Was it the teasing I did about your underwear? I admit this may be the worm that has caused this Devastating breach between us. The great divide. Has someone influenced you, caluminated against me? Martin, I am at a complete loss over our rift. We had something good going on. We had a sweet friendship. My heart hurts just to think i have lost you. Hey, I know, the men, they teased you about good morning and go to bed. That's it. It could not be MY fault. Please respond Martin. I deserve at least an explanation. Somebody, please help me.
How about a piece of cookie cake? My daughter made one to take to co-op tomorrow. The husband snuck a corner piece out of it already; everyone else may as well, too ::). I'm wiped out! Last week was crazy busy, and this week will be no different. Turning in early tonight.

I admit this may be the worm that has caused this Devastating breach between us. The great divide. Has someone influenced you, caluminated against me? Martin, I am at a complete loss over our rift. We had something good going on. We had a sweet friendship. My heart hurts just to think i have lost you. Hey, I know, the men, they teased you about good morning and go to bed. That's it. It could not be MY fault. Please respond Martin. I deserve at least an explanation. Somebody, please help me.

How about a piece of cookie cake? My daughter made one to take to co-op tomorrow. The husband snuck a corner piece out of it already; everyone else may as well, too ::). I'm wiped out! Last week was crazy busy, and this week will be no different. Turning in early tonight.
Munda, that offering will be totally acceptable. Just a small piece for this poor soul. Thanks to daughter!
Had a piece of sourcream & raisin pie :vomit: here about an hour and a half ago, but I think Hubby ate it in one bite. So all I have left is this piece of peach pie that you might like if you still have some of your vanilla ice cream left. It's not very sweet, but Hubby bought it for me and I just don't have the heart to throw it out. He would greatly appreciate it if I gave it to you instead though. Don't take it unless you like the flavor of flavorless pie crust and an unsweeten peach quarter. I've got either that or a Voortman's Iced Almonette cookie or 2 or 3. Pick your poison. :lol:
Dymphna, I love peach pie, but yours sound like I'd rather have the cookies. Iced almond? Could you bring some to good morning? They sound like they would go nicely with my coffee. I'll be bringing in some songbird coffee.It is pretty good. I will share it with everyone but Martin. He first needs to tell me why he is dissing me. I don't want to be a baby about this, but.....Hey, Dymphna, do you know why Matin has been ignoringbme?

I don't know, but I can find out. I could be mistaken, but I think some people are taking a little time to get their holiday stuff done or to regroup for Advent. :shrug: I'll be happy to find out what is going on with him, if I can.
Dympna, I am a big girl now. Thank you for being such a sweerheart, but it was wrong of me to ask you to find out why Martin doesn't like me anymore. That's too much like junior high.. If he doesn't want to talk to me anymore, I will respect that. Besides, I do not chase boys. That would be beneath my dignity. Right? Just let them go. If they really care, they will come back to me. Right. Well, that's what mama always said.
G-nite Dymphna!
Oh, I forgot to open up tonight. Wow, so busy ranting, I forgot to do my duty. Come...so you can go....to bed. Onexample slip up and we could lose this you know? We have a goodthing goin here. Let's keep it goin. If I forget to open up you all are welcome to. Please. We might have a line around the block. We can't have that. Besides it's getting so cold out.
I am pretty tired. Think I will toddler off to my bed. I hope to sleep well tonight. Seriously.
Hey I posted OPEN. Where did I put it? In good morning? O my. This scatterbrain needs help. I turn around and forget what I'm doing. Please, help me stay on track. If I fail to show here....come looking for me. I don't know where you'll find me but please LOOK. I could be harmful to myself or others.I could be wandering the sheep pen. You just don't know. I could be beneath a picnic table, or worse. So, in your charity, find me please.
Hey, I am right here. Right where I belong. Come. Quickly. I may leave.
Nite Lynne, Nobis, ResRev, Ches, Kaese, Jayne, Obrien, Martin. Nite Dymphna! Going to sleep.
Hmmm, should I say good night now in case my migraine won't let me later? I don't want to let it know I'm conscious so it doesn't get more pissed off, but I don't want Carleen et all to think I've abandoned them, either. What to do, what to do. OK, Hey you all! I hope you had a good night's rest! I'll be over here praying for you. 😉

?ymphna, tell me it isn't true. Tell me you did not have a migrant last nite. Or today. Did you have one today too? Noooooò. This can't be. Well, at least you look cool with your daith piercing. I heard if you pierce your eyebrow and nose, your migrane will just be a bad dream. Anew ugly thing from your past. True.
Ches? Martin? Kaese? Michael? Heinrich. Let's talk guns. Or computers. Or economics. Or cconspiracies. we won't talk food or makeup. You guys pick the topic. Tonight, men rule. How's that sound?
Okay. Maybe we have to talk food or nails. No one wants to talk about any thing. Ches, does your honey get her nails done? Does the studio do her makeup and hair? Just wondering. I don't have any tats. Do you have tats, Ches? Like superhero tats. Maybe your wife's name? You can tell us. We won't tell anyone. What goes on in the bed thread, stays right here. Our lips are sealed.
I give up. Nite all.
This be open for all tired people. All crabby tired people All drinkers and nondrinkers. All smokers and pipe, cigar smokers. All rich and poor. People of color, and people with no color. Makeup wearers. Pants wearing women and dress only women Harley riders and exercise bike riders. Come and I will give you the rest...later..

I will pray for you Ches. A sincere prayer God gives you the sleep you need ànd some extra pain relief. Here, I've got something for you. Don't tell anyone.
Good night Munda, hope you sleep well tonight prayin you will sleep deeply and feel refreshed.
Now quit taking care of everyone else and get yourself to bed. We need the morning sunshine Carleen. 😘 God bless you all, dear friends, may you all have a good nights rest so you can be ready for battle tomorrow. 📿

Probably should open up. OPEN!!!!! Get into your jammies. Get comfy. If you don't have comfy nite wear, just grab anything. Bernadette has comfy pllows and blankets.Her stuff is so warm and soft you will want to crash. All I have to do is hear Bernadette talk about her fuzzy jammies, and I want to go to bed. Everything is soft and warm.
My stuff on the other hand is worn, not warm. My pillows worn out. Blankets worn. Pillows like crackers...flat. Blankets need repair. ?eally I could use all new bedding. I would really enjoy shopping for new bedding. THAT would be fun, I think. But with new bedding, I would have to quit eating in bed, I'd be afraid of stains and what not. Hmmmmm. Do I really want new bedding?
I'm putting everyone to bed early, so I can take hot bath, put on a long flannel gown and fluffy slippers, and sit in my rocking chair by the fire with a cup of hot tea.

What a nice relaxing picture you create, fleur. Enjoy it!
Dymphna, I see you! Please come on in from the cold. It's 13 degrees out. And it's late. Please pray for my son in law. He was having some heart issues tonight. Could just be stress after 5 hrs of surgery.

I'm so jellynosed at Fleur de Lys's situation there, I may have to leave early so I don't start any true envy against her. :lol: For some reason the house is somewhat cold tonight. I had to break out jammies and put away Hubby's Harley shirt that I usually wear. Bernadette is going to love this... You know the Pepe le Pew's girlfriend that was really a cat with a stripe painted on her? Her name is Penelope Pussycat. My grey jammies have a teal highlight around the wrist and neckline and Penelope Pussycat with big pleading eyes all over and the words, 'Love Me Tender" all over as well. Maybe if I put some socks on, my feet will warm up. I'll just sit here for a little while. You know, I'll make sure everyone is comfortable here. Thanks for inviting me in, Carleen. Of course your SIL is in my prayers. Surely there's nothing stressful about 5 hours of surgery. :o :pray3: 8)

Thank you my dear. Glad you have warm jammies. I did know about the painted stripe, but didn't know her name. Now go get those socks on. My feet are freezing! Sleep tonight Dymphna. We can take care of ourselves. Take the night off. You do not HAVE TO keep watch every night. Not really, though the idea of you keeping watch is sweet.

:lol: I never knew she had a name, the poor thing!
OPEN, YES OPEN NOW!!!!Just throw your junk down. Grab a chair. Find a drink. They're here somewhere. Blankets are in the linen closet. Can't find em? Too stinking bad. They're there. Just search. And don't laugh at the junk I keep in my linen closet. So what if there are monitors. So what if there are files and boxes of files.Winter coats no one wants to wear. Junk jewelry hubby's mom left when she died. Athletic bags no one uses any more. Massage chair cushions, so what. Just search. You'll find the blankets. I always find the blankets. It's the sheets and pillow cases I can't find.
With all the ppeople who post here you'd think the closet would be overflowing with quilts with all the quilters
Not sure why, but my head med hit me hard last night. Hubby came and woke me up (something he very rarely does since sleep and the lack there of is such a problem for me) anyway, the last time I remember looking at the clock, it was 11:30. It was about 2:45 when he woke me up. My head and one of my arms were off the side of my chair and I was holding my laptop's mouse. My poor hand was puffy and my shoulder was tingly! I tell you what, I'm a little nervous to take any tonight! The only thing I can think of is that I took the last of the bottle and maybe got a concentrated dose. I've never had that reaction to it before. I tell you, the things that happen during the night, make it worth staying up for. :lol:

I know. Right? I've asked Bernadette, to make me a quilt, but so far, no go. Can you believe that Ches? After I have adopted her...gave her a good morning,....a go to bed, morning coffee, parties to attend and all I ask for is a quilt.That's not too much to ask. Inthink. What is your take, Ches? Bernadette, out of concern for me should make sure I'm warm and cozy, and wrapped in a homemade quilt.

Head meds. Never took them, but sure have taken a lot of meds in my life. Your reaction to a med is your reaction. You are unique and it can hit you in an entirely different way from any one else. You go back to doc and he says "well....that's never been reported." And you end up feeling silly or overeacting. But do keep trying different thiings. You may just hit upon something that is effective and works. Prayers, dymphna. Can't stand thinking of you suffering with no help, no relief.
Alright. Going to bed. Nite all.
Sorry so late. I do hope that you've hopped into Jammies and drank drinks, warmed up by fire and brushed teeth. You're all big kids. You know what to do. Go get your favorite favorites. Pillows, blankets, whatnot. There you go. Now Dymphna, your friend, will sell...I mean tell you a story. There is a small fee for this X-tra. But it's for a good causel...ME. Yes, ME.
8:00. OPEN UP!!!! OK. HANG ON SEC. There found em. Keys. Sorry I have to lock the thread, but who knows. Might have a terrorist try to get in here and behead me. You don't know. So we are now standing outside until I get the key out. Fumble it. Drop it. And get it in the lock. WAIT A MINUTE RABBIT! WHICH ONE OF YOU MANLY MEN INSTALLED AN OVERHEAD LIGHT AND A PEEP HOLE? I think it was Heinrich. Yep for sure Heinrich. He was feeling a tad guilty for not dropping in to the morning thread for coffee, or the bed thread for a drink. If it wasn'the Heinrich, then it was Akavit, who is probably feeling crappie about not making us a coffee table for morning thread.

Not I. If it were, you wouldn't find a peep hole. It would be a complex network of cameras (both real and dummy) and interlaced motion detectors. The other day I was updating my alarm system and it's rather fun trying to break into my own building.
Just in case anyone wants to know, inching forward at a pace of 1 foot per minute doesn't fool the motion detectors. A leopard crawl and judicious use of cover is more effective but it's difficult to pull off if the sensors are coming from multiple directions.
Thanks Akavit. Of course. Of course I would not just flat out find the peephole. Of course it would not even be noticeable if YOU, AKAVIT had made it. Geesh...what was I thinking. These things are your specialty. Motion detectors....I know nothing about. This is how I now KNOW it was Heinrich. He can only be mean to me for so long, right? The gun thread, when he told me to get back to Mary's Garden "And bring Ches with you"....that thread......well, he was mean, so, I think he just made an attempt to make up by installing a crappy peep hole and a piece of junk overhead light. It was rather sweet of him, don'cha think? He went out of his comfort zone, out of his teaching skills and attempted to protect me from a possible beheading. I can just see him working all day on it so it would be done before we all start getting ready for bed. Here's to Heinrich... :cheeseheadbeer:

Yes, I guess I have some similarity to SURElock. I investigate and use the clues available, Benadette. If need be! And I saw a need and put on my SURELOCK hat, and solved the dilemma of who installed the peep hole and overhead light in our go to bed thread to avoid losing my bedhead.or maybe someone else, opening the thread when I am not available to open up.

I meant Akavit, actually... Don't hate me! :-[ :-X
BERNADETTE!!!!!!!!I must be missing something. Not getting this about Akavit. What did I discover about him?
You mean you can't read my mind, Carleen?! :lol: I meant Akavit was the one who was "Sherlockian," since he said that if he had installed the peephole, no one would have seen it. It reminded me of one of Holmes' lines in "The Adventure of the Devil's Foot":
"I followed you."
"I saw no one!"
"That is what you can expect to see, when I follow you."

Capital, Watson! Sherlockian is indeed, the correct term. If you would kindly retrieve the Urban Dictionary from the third shelf, you will find the entry under "S".
Yes, I have read
all the books.
What a great suggestion, Akavit, peppèr spray! Yes. I will. And I will look it (sherlockian speeak)up. Plus, it seems we need some more books in go to bed.Under S, huh? I'm on it. SHERLOCK talk. Sherlock expressions. 8h, it's way up high. Just gonna grab a ladder.....................................yep.........sure enough, sherlockian.....well,there you go.
You hear that Kaese? Need more books in go to bed. Akavit has read them all. How about some man books? G-nite Kaese. Hope you passed your test tòdayl
The Count of Monte Cristo. Everyone thinks it's about revenge. But it isn't, really. ;)
Quote from: Bernadette on December 19, 2016, 11:01:03 PM
The Count of Monte Cristo. Everyone thinks it's about revenge. But it isn't, really. ;)
I haven't read the real one but I did have the condensed kiddie version that I read while young.
QuoteRising young lad gets arrested, makes bone knife and escapes via old man's body bag, finds piles of gems, goes home and says, "I am the Count of Monte Cristo. You have betrayed me. Prepare to die.
It wasn't quite that bowdlerized.
There's something about short (or shortened stories) that changes the whole tone of a story. In the case of
Monte Cristo, it reinforces the idea that revenge is the theme of the story (and not having read the real novel, I don't know anything else about it).
My favorite example of a story that is so condensed that it lacks the context necessary for believable characterization would be
Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. That one never ceases to make me laugh. When the serving woman boils 39 people alive in oil then decapitates the guest of a dinner party, the elder's reaction is pretty incongruous.
You have dishonored my family! What? They were thieves? How resourceful and virtuous you are! Son, you must marry this woman!"
But enough books for now. I've got an alternator to pull in the morning. Adios.
Hi Ches. I see you. Hope family is well.
Ok. Keep talking. And with that being said...why am I not 50 points ahead?????? Well Shillery, you are now smashed, refusing to accept defeat. By now she should be good at it, she lost every step, every step of the way!!!!!!! Putin, hacking, silly investigations, Trumps lies about her, this is why she lost. Not because SHE is the liar, SHE is a pig, SHE is a criminal and SHE is just plain disgusting in all ways.Oh, no, it was NOT her fault. They cheated every which way they could possibly, conceivably, cheat. That darn Donna Brazille, feeding her questions to be asked at the debates during the primaries. That darn Donna. You notice she did not refuse to use them.
Ok, the thread is open. Found my keys. Will be checking all ye who knock. Making sure no one tries to come in with a machette, a chainsaw, or a bomb strapped on them. I must make sure my people are safe. You must be able to come in, put your feet up and put your load down. Please come, bring the beer, or mimosa. Just bring something. Oh and don't forget the password. Bigfoot. That's the password. Unless SD is hacked by the Russians this will help so I do not open the door to trouble.

Going to sleep early tonight. Keep the overhead light on . Hopefully I'll remember to turn it off in the morning. Had husband install lights above all your beds, so you can read or whatever....work crossword or other games. Not to worry, he is an electrician. G-nite all.

Haha well I guess the one good thing about having a trach is not snoring although instead we have noisy vent noise not sure what he smells like...probably smells like a baby. Bigger kid has been sleepwalking which is...quirky
All I have to do is call my dog, and tell him it's bedtime and he comes in cult into à ball and sleeps right by my bed. It's so cute. What a buddy. Even if he does leave at some point every night.
So, you are a bit noisy. Watch Peter, he might get lost. Well, I'm sure you lock your roors. Sounds like things are calm there. Good deal. Everybody sleeps. Perfect.
I wish my dog slept in bed with me. :( But no, she'd rather sleep in my aunt's bed, with the boxer. I used to bring her out to my house at night, and it was like I was leading her down the green mile, every night. Finally I felt so bad that I just let her stay there, when my aunt said she didn't care.
I'm happy to say that I have no one sleeping in my bed tonight, and that's the way I like it!! 2 year old is in her toddler bed right next to me, though. No snoring, no nursing, no nothing!!
I don't think I could sleep in a bed all by myself. It would just be too weird. :D

Zzzz hanging out with a sleeping snoring baby
Nothing makes you get your priority straight faster, than a little warm body snoring softly on yours. Amazing little creatures, aren't they? So sweet, yet so noisy. I could hold them all day, and night. I love holding babies. There is something weird about me, in that I somehow have the ability to make them go to sleep. Hold away, Ches. What a Christmas gift that little one is. God bless you all!
OK, I'm going to bed. Really and truly. Wish me luck and say a little prayer I make it through. :pray3: I can do this! 8)
OPEN UP!! WHATS THE PASSWORD?????? BIGFOOT.Now, don't forget it. If the Russians hack us, they'll have our password. Then what?
I have a appetizer, if you are just a tad hungry. I melt cheese, add Creole seasoning and chives, all on a ...........rice cake. True. A rice cake. A plain, lightly salted.........rice cake. Hey, it works. They end up very tasty. Plus more healthy than chips. Plus big enough to handle toppings. Plus less calories. If you insist I can do the same thing on tortilla chips. But, won't you please try it made with rice cake? I think you will be surprized. Put toppings on, microwave for one minute.
Anyway, we are now open. COME!
I just ate some mini spinach quiches from the freezer. They were terrible, made with low-moisture mozzarella, and tasting strongly of frozen spinach. But some hot sauce perked them up nicely. ;) Oooh, and I dug out these old brushed-cotton sheets that I had stashed away, freshened them in the wash and installed them on the bed. I will be so toasty tonight! ;D I figured desperate measures were in order, since I couldn't stop shivering last night for the life of me.

I need at least one plush animal, and preferably my (real) cat, to sleep with maximum comfort. But if my hair in the mornings is anything to go by, I'm a "burrower," so I need all of the covers and pillows to myself. :lol:
Birdie, you certainly know how to get comfortable. So doesn't kitties want to cuddle on a regular basis. She abandon you sometimes? Well, I guess the next best thing would be stuffed animals, but they are not even very warm. They generate no heat, but they do provide a certain closeness and take up room, like an animal or person would.
To me your quiche sounds like refrozen couple day old quiche. No trying to bd rude, but youre talking to a foodie here. Glad your hot sauce perked up your mozerella delight.

She's fickle. :( And while the stuffed animals don't generate heat, they
retain heat nicely.

Yes, we really have to do something about our conversation topics if we want to draw more men in here. We could have Dymphna, our Resident expert, talk about her arsenal or her harley. But Ches you do remember what happened the last time we tried to join in on such conversation? We were sent to Mary's Garden. So humiliating. Really.
Hey Chestertonian! It's Dymphna/Mixx here. How ya' doin? Here, have a beer! :cheeseheadbeer: Yeah, it's pretty bad up here, but at least we don't have anything to ruin.
Ok. 9:15, it's time to think about when you're gonna hit the hay. Everybody has to eventually. Even you Dymphna, even you will eventually have to crawl into bed. Remember, you are using your real bed. Your bed. Ches even if you do have a baby lightly snoring by you, you need to sleep. I pray you and Dymphna get a good night's sleep. No waking at all hours, no night terrors, just sweet sleep. If I wake up I'll pray for you both.
I just posted in arts and leisure ADESTES FIDELIS. Christmas song. It's different, but very well produced in studio.
It good and upbeat.

OH. MY. GOODNESS. PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!!!!!!!! What is wrong with me? COME IN. COME IN! Here, hold my drink mixes, while I unlock the thread. There now. Sit down by the fire and warm up while I make some martinis or something anything over rocks . Double shots. Stiff cold drinks, by the fire. See, I am really slacking here. This is one of only two jobs I have each day. Good morning and go to bed. There are no excuses for a slacker. Forgive mme.
Bird, I'll get the hot water going for your cocoa. Please be patient while I fiddle around with this old gas stive. It really needs a good cleaning. I have a hard time llighting the stove top. There now. We are good. Cocoa. Coming up.

Lovely. Quieter than yours, but very nice.
We had a wonderful day. Enjoyable and stress free. The kids opened their stockings in the morning, and we lounged in PJ's and had a big breakfast. Noon Mass, then hung around and visited with friends. We scored a free turkey, even! It's in the freezer for later. Gifts and party food this afternoon. Now we are traveling to my Mom's to celebrate Christmas with my family tomorrow. We will be going to bed in a few hours.
Glad everyone had a good Christmas tired
My son was so tired he went to bed at 7pm he is still in my bed now we are hoping the baby gives us a good night's sleep for Christmas
Ha! We were both so tired (from what I don't know), but we fell asleep in our chairs while discussing what to have for supper. Just woke up a bit ago and he went to bed. I'm headed that way soon as well. Never did figure out what to have for supper. Meh, there's always tomorrow to stuff our faces. Night all! :seeya:

Well for goodness sake dymphna, you could have come here for dinner. Seriously. Just the two of you would not have made a dent in the amount of dinner on my table Too bad I didn't know you were gonna be alone. I would have invited you to eat. You've gotta say something, my dear.

Ches, I hope to sleep well tòo.Was ùp way late last night wrapping gifts..Thankfully, I had my dauughter to lend a hand. Hope you sleep well, ALL of you. :pray3:
Everyone get to bed OK? I fell asleep before I got a chance to do my regular monologing. Bet no one is disappointed. Besides I have egg all over my face for sticking my head where it doesn't belong. Not to worry, like I always say, I deserve these things. I really do! Got a past life to make up for. God is good to give us opportunity to do it in this life, rather than the next. Only hope I do it well here and keep in mind that's what I must conciously aim for. REPARATION.

It is still too early for sleep. I will find something productive to do, or at least nondestructive! I am very tired. With that comes overactive emotions. This must be stopped. It is Christmas and my savior is born. So long ago and so now. That is my focus. I always wish I could be one of those shepherds in the field. Frightened by Angels comforted and given the sweet birth announcement. Just a shepherd. Not a teacher or banker or college graduate or computer genius or campaign manager, or ambassador. Just a shepherd in the field,, on a cold night.

Ah, Your kindness is most appreciated, dear Carleen. We were far from starving. We had just left Hubby's family's celebration to help Santa Claus (Hubby's brother) go to see some underprivileged kids from Hubby's school bus. We took pictures for them and passed out gifts. It was alot of fun.
The children's parents wanted us to come over to their homes stay for the supper they had been cooking since earl in the morning. A couple were having turkey, a couple ham, one family was going the New Orleans route with red beans & rice among other things, and another was traipsing through Italy. But we were still stuffed with ham and all that entails. We got Santa home, came home and collapsed.

Dymphna, what a sweet work of charity! I am so glad to have a friend like you! I would hope that if I were without children I would serve children in one fashion or another.I like the Santa fashion very much!
Going to bed and hopefully I'll dream of being a shepherd with my eyes upon the ram and the ram kneels down just before the music begins, Ches. Then I'll be safe with my face turned towards heaven...wondering where the music, that beautiful music is coming from. It'll be great! Nite all. Be good.
Since I was late opening up last nite I am opening early. We really should do a bit of cleanup around here. Santa is getting lost in the mess. Cans, bottles, candy wrappers, chip bags. Really should get the place clean again. Kaese may not appreciate this mess.
But...good evening people. Come on in and have a drin?
I'm making margaritas, stiff ones. Come pour yourselves a glass, with or without salt on the rim. There are chips and salsa on the table, guacamole too.

Hey, wait a minute. We are Traditional Catholics, not yayhoos at a rap concert. I had it all cleaned up this morning and it wasn't too terrible. What happened?
Oh my dymphna, I was thinking it was in the same shape I saw it last nite. I have slept all day off and on and just wrote without looking. Now I can see that it is tidy in here, did you hit the bathrooms? Just askin. Thanks for your efforts.
I just had the kids do a 10 minute pickup. We should be good. Margaritas, chips and salsa time!
Sounds great munda! Thanks.

Open up. Okay. I will open this stinking door. Hey, could some one give me a hand here, my arms are full of goodies and such goodies. Beverages too. Margarita mix too, beer too, liquor too, pizzas. Big ones. Help!
Never mind. I got it. I'm in. Just had to set down the pizza. I'm in. It's all good.
Ches, Martin, come have wee sip of something. You know Ches, you can have a drink here! It's virtual! Come have a big drink. It's virtual. Just don't forget to have someone take your glasses off before you fall into a stupor because it's been so long.You two tummy troubled men, eat pizza. You can you know. It's virtual. Just don't drag butt in the morning. You just have to remember, it never really happened. Mammy knows.
Family game night is over. Hope y'all had fun, and enjoyed the tacos, wine, whiskey, chocolates, and pretzels. Even if you did lose at Yahtzee, like I did :(. Until tomorrow :beer:
I am getting drunk virtually :cheeseheadbeer:
Nice! :laugh:
Martin, control yourself. I said you could drink. Not get drunk. Just feelin good. That's all. But the pizza....all you can eat. Ches, did you drop by last nite? Did you imbibe? Just a bit? Well don't worry, it never happened! See the beauty of it? You can have a virtual good time here and then.....go to bed. It's genious, if I may say so. Truly inspired.

They are always there waiting for me. Whatcha guys think, I'm your maid? Really. Okay, gotta get the dishes done. Enjoy yourself. Relax. Make more dirty dishes.

Last night we played Yahtzee and shut the box. Tonight, we built a puzzle (it was actually really well balanced for all the age ranges, except the 2 year old....he just stole the pieces). We also like card games (they like poker ;D), dominoes, scrabble, checkers, chess, and suspend. I'm ready to introduce pictionary.
Tonight I go with my family to see "Christmas Card Lane" Christmas lights, just a few blocks from where I live. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_Card_Lane
OK, lights have been starting to come down, now that "Christmas is over" (hah)
OK, it's not the same without snow.
But it is a little Christmas fun that we enjoy with the kids every year (if we remember!)
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f5/Xmas_card_lane.jpg)
THEN I'll go to bed and have happy Christmas dreams.

We are packing to go to my inlaws for the weekend. Baby needed a nursing break, so here I am. I need to find something quick to eat before we leave. Kids ate cereal, but I am not in the mood for cereal. What should I have?
Oatmeal, omelete w salsa, toast, cheese sandwich. And have a safe enjoyable trip.
I don't do oatmeal. I might have time for a quick omelette, though!

Oh, and a PB&J sandwich makes for a good quickie meal sometimes.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has ever done that (and until that late in the day) :P!
Today I got it right. But I may get confused later tonight because I intentionally did a couple of Saturday things today since the weekend will be filled with New Year's activities.
Did someone say cheese pizza? Am I too late? I hope not, since there is always enough virtual pizza and it is always hot. At least I hope that is true tonight.

Oh, my! Until I read this post, Munda, I thought today was Saturday... Checked the date, and yes, my marbles are gone. :lol:
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has ever done that (and until that late in the day)!
Today I got it right. But I may get confused later tonight because I intentionally did a couple of Saturday things today since the weekend will be filled with News Year's activities.

Non, there is a fresh hot one about to come out of oven. Digiornos. I hope that suits you. Guess what?.. it is virtually all yours. Ches just may have a home brew for you to go with!

Suits me wonderfully. This sounds a lot better then the plain-always-hot-virtual-pizza I was thinking about. I would love some home brew too!

Yup it IS much better than the plain-always-hot-virtual-pizza you were thinking of. Because Ches made homemade beer to go with. And this is a rising crust. Non, I want you to just sit in that chair over there, no not that one, that one yes. I will have your much better-than-plain-always-hot-virtual -pizza at your spot lickety split, virtually.
Non, if you don't mind, could you share your pizza? I was hoping to join you for pizza and a Ches Classic.

Ches, you probably brought in a whole new level of activity around there. You keep it up they may have to put another aide on.
Or at least some security guards. :)

Oh good, I do use a lot of them. Sometimes I drop food and spill things if I try to hold anything in my left hand. Oh! It's a perfect left hand in the go to bed thread. And ya know non, in the go to bed thread we go to sleep when we are done. We don't even brush our teeth. There are virtually no cavities here. Or bad breath.

No but I'm onmit! Mary, I'm sure there is a perfectly good pair of lungs in the second hand store. We could just blow them off, get rid of the nicotine stains and put them to use!
Ahhhhh. I get it . Everyone was up so late. Too late to come in and tip one with me. That's ok. I don't pout about those things. Much. If ever.

Oh yes. Daughter had an ICK seminarian from italy, but really from Jackson, sent to italy, home for break. He is great to talk with. Man does he get it. If he could use the Internet I would have him into the thread to offer advice.

She just stepped out for a smoke, should be back any minute.
I

Good for you Stella. Proud of you. Dymphna!!!!!! Got any more smokes?????
I'm right here. Maybe. Come to think of it, I could be over there. It's hard telling with me. A hand rolled smoke and a nod? You all forget that I'm from the Southern Mid-West. You wouldn't get past me without a "Hi, how are you?!" :seeya: And a hand rolled smoke? I don't think so. How in the world do you all picture me?

Why me???? Really, dymphna is the security agent here. I always have to run off the desperados. Wait, that's Ches on an expidition on his upright transformer souped up ramrod of a stand up wheelie chair. Stand down dymphna. Finish your smoke.

No need for whiskey. Vodka did just fine.
Turning things over to the next one who steps into this alternative existence. I'm going to bed! Remember, sometimes Ches needs help getting his glasses off. Martin just has to be reminded to put his pants on, dymphna, she needs to be told to go catch a few winks. And Stella is a little silly while enjoying a little time off from school. G-nite.
Stella....gnite.

Oh, please do dymphna! Get Birdie, Stella,TRM. I don't know why, the two of them are only looking for trouble. Stella was a bit wild last night. But we'll let her sew her oats! Dymphna, just invite the whole squad in. They're probably waiting anyway!

Well bird, that's no wonder, with the amount of thinking you've had to do lately. See, the cool thing about this thread is you can go to bed if you want!

Oh my gosh, y'all crack me up! Husband and I had a date night for the first time in a long time. Fed kids early and let them watch a movie. Then, I was busy visiting with him while he cooked dinner. Goodnight all. Prayers for Ches to get well soon :pray3:

That's wonderful, Munda! Time together, really together, not just being in the same house, dealing with the kids most of that time, time for just you and him is precious I'm sure. Good night and sweet dreams.
Yes, extra prayers for Ches! :pray3:
Open. You heard me. This is not a drill. In real time.....this thread is open. First drink on me.

Bedtime in half an hour. We decided the whole family will attend the early morning Epiphany Mass, so early bedtime for everyone.....if we could just get these wild munchkins to settle down :-\
We are attending a nite time epiphany Mass tomorrow. Hey, can we eat meat tomorrow, Munda?

So....we really going to bed? My drink is gone, I put on my wool socks. Sleeping shirt. It's pointing in that direction, Dymph.

You're going to trust....them? They don't even have wings! :lol: Just kidding. I'll give bed a shot. We'll see what happens. There is still alot of things that I need to worry about though. Maybe I can get my quota filled in the morning.

Wings are not all there is, dymphna. They're also not so pretty to look at during the nite, but you know, this is about safety, not just wings and good looks. Yes. I am going to trust them. Though, I hear Kaese is not so sporty. Hopefully Red has a few good moves in him still.

I never said anything about good looks. Wings I've got covered. Good looks? Not so much. I'm pretty sure RSC has a few good moves left. You can't live as far north as he does and not be able to shift around. If you don't, you'll freeze. Kaese is young, but he has SD to run. He can't just take off to Southern California or NYC willy nilly. Unless he's secretly related to The Flash. If that's the case (pun intended ;) ) then safety is all his.

I didn't find any marker on my face this morning, thank goodness.
I just spend too much time googling silly things like "jigglybuff" and then scanning wiki articles. I do find jigglypuff pretty amusing!
But did you know that Jigglypuff evolves into Wigglytuff
Ha! I thought you all meant Trigglypuff.

Shhhhhh. Stella, shut up! Dymphna, underwear are cool. We're cool with underwear, right? Martin doesn't want us to make over it anymore, so....Stella? Dymphna?? We're cool right?
On to other topics. There is a great blowout out sale going on at Sears.....an underwear sale. See how I love underwear, Martin? No more teasing. Serious savings on...er...undergarments.
Good nite. It seems there is very little interest in going to bed. Everyone is probably meeting in the chatroom. Chatting. Nonstop. Chatting in the chatroom, I'll bet.That's gotta be it.

To nite my drink of choice is vodka cranberry juice, cut with tonic water. Not bad, really. What are you indulging in dymph?
Will have to shut down for tomorrow due to computer problems. Need some time shut down. So good morning all. Hope to see how hoping the place was without me. Should be back in business tomorrow nite.
Please come in. Again, I have forgotten to open up. Anyone else, with better skills than i, want to be responsible for this tyread? Anybody? Shall I let it get dusty? I think NOT. We all need to hear goodnight from somebody who genuinely cares. I care. Come on bird. Bring your chair if you must.

I keep...rather irregular hours these days, Carleen.
Wrapping the evening up. Put the kids to bed over an hour ago. Helped husband bottle his latest batch of beer (it smells really good!). He's cleaning up the kitchen and I'm nursing the baby to sleep. School and co-op tomorrow, so no late night knitting for me tonight! I got some coffee as a gift from a friend at church today. I'll bring it to the good morning thread tomorrow for us all to try :) good night

I don't know dymph, unless you have been doing your own doctoring again. Oh dear dymphna, you can't be here but not. How does that work? It doesn't my dear. Wait. Let me finish my drink. Maybe it does. There. Finished. Doesn't work. Just doesnt. Maybe if you give a few more details we can work this out.

I think it's just that in my mind, I'm on a deserted island in the pacific ocean, fanning myself with a giant palm tree leaf. Little crustaceans are running around everywhere, as if I don't exist? Well, time is up. :)

I don't know dymph, unless you have been doing your own doctoring again. Oh dear dymphna, you can't be here but not. How does that work? It doesn't my dear. Wait. Let me finish my drink. Maybe it does. There. Finished. Doesn't work. Just doesnt. Maybe if you give a few more details we can work this out.
I think it's just that in my mind, I'm on a deserted island in the pacific ocean, fanning myself with a giant palm tree leaf. Little crustaceans are running around everywhere, as if I don't exist? Well, time is up. :)
Wait, dynphna, you can't go....all the plants are gonna die!!! And crustaceans mostly stay put. You my dear are barely here. Try to sleep. Talk in morning. Don't make me worry about you! Try some sleep.
All righty. Ok. We're open. comega on in. Put your weary dogs up and eat something. Should be cheese in fridge and crackers in cupboard. Got some ham and split pea soup if I can interest you in some! Bread or crackers to go wìth.
Ches, ya feeling any better?
Dymphna, yah around here? Anywhere?
Bernwdette?
Munda?
Martin?
Heinrich?
Lynne?
Non?
Lydia?
Kaese?
You all know who you are!!!!!
Come on in.
I'm here. :) Trying to figure out how to get the lid back onto the can of worms that I inadvertently opened over in "Arts and Leisure." :-[ I'll spare you the details. Sorry again, Martin! :toth:

Is it your back that hurts, or your lungs or both? I am glad to hear you are better, but now we pray the pain will let up so you can sit up.

Went to a favorite restaurant of mine in KC. Strouds Oak Ridge Manor is the one we like the best. http://www.stroudsnorth.com/ I've got left overs if anybody wants some. Best dang fried chicken this side of the Mississ... well, the best fried chicken in Kansas and Missouri, we'll put it that way. :lol: There's mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans (the kind that are cooked with bacon and onions), and with every meal they serve cinnamon rolls. They are those Hawaiian dinner rolls rolled in butter, cinnamon, and sugar then fried... I can only eat one per meal, but holy cow are they good! Hubby got chicken livers for an appetizer this time too. They were really good as well. It's all served family style. No room tonight for the ice cream cake he got me. We'll see about tomorrow.
Thanks for asking btw. :cheeseheadbeer:
Wait, I think I saw that place on the Food Network or the Travel Channel. Are the cinnamon rolls HUGE?

Good eye Bernadette! The guy from Man vs Food on the Travel Channel did a segment on it. A couple of funny take-away's is him saying KC = Killing Chickens, and the other is when he said it was, "whole body licken good" (instead of KFC's finger licken good). Below is the link to the segment.

Is it my imagination or did he refer to Kansas City as the Paris of the plains??

No, this would have been from YEARS ago, somewhere around 2005-2006, and it feautred two women ordering JUST cinnamon rolls. :P One of those 10 Best countdown things, I think. But the existence of that ^ clip makes it likely that there's another one out there somewhere. ;) And regardless, I just want to go there and have that chicken dinner now.

BTW my mom's is today too. She got a bit sick so we didn't throw her a party but she did make her own birthday cake called "Raffaello" after Ferrero Raffaello. you know what I am talking about, small round coconut-almond balls. Yummmm. but unfortunately I don't eat cake, although I'll take a sniff and then swallow the vapors. :(

I've got left overs... I might be able to swing a wing your way without Hubby noticing. Just say the word. :pigeons:
There used to be a restaurant north of here that made cinnamon rolls as big as a dinner plate. Just crazy huge. The thing was, they were just the dough with cinnamon and sugar. The way my Mom made them, so consequently the way I made them as well, was with cinnamon, sugar, raisins, pecans, and lots of butter in them. I hardly ever see them like that. Do any of you all make them that way?
I've always preferred them with raisins and nuts. :)

Oh my! A cake made with those coconut-almond balls sounds heavenly! I'm so sorry she's not feeling well. That's a bummer on your birthday. Is her birthday on the 9th or the 10th? Mine is on the 9th. Hubby says it's on January, so I have a birthday month. That way he gets a birthday month in April. :lol: But this way your Mom would still have 21 more days to celebrate. :cheeseheadbeer:

Sorry I misled you guys. It isn't made with those balls but the middle layer is made with coconut, it looks like icing or pudding and tastes like raffaello. Perhaps it is custard or butter cream. IDK whatever it is it must me goood.

Broad shoulders, yes. Bat ears, yes. Tiny lady a resounding no.
Dymphna, no where do i ever say I'm tiny. I àm short, but not tiny. So my feet may clear the bus floor.but my butt fits the seat nicely. I am likely closer to stout than tiny. When you think granny, that's me except the big bosom and very thick waist.I do not dress like an old lady, but then, I do not dress like erin. I am not THAT comfortable in my own skin, but certainly more comfortable than I was 20 years ago. Though I sure do admire the ladies that are able to come out of the child bearing years looking like they did prior.

Dymph, what does the north pole have to do with anything. Just askin. I'm sure when you answer, this will make perfect sense.
Actually, no, it really doesn't make much sense. It does if you can see what I was picturing when I typed that, but otherwise no. You don't look like an elf at all, I'm sure. :-X ;)

Going to bed. Night all. Sleep well. See you in good morning. Hope Jaynes father is ok. :pray3:
I'm here, Lydia! I've just been out making the rounds. Came across a breach in the fence that cows or horses would have been able to push by with no problem. Had to round up a couple of horses and get them back behind the fence and then fix the fence. Everything else checked out OK. All safe and secure. :cheeseheadbeer: 8)

Virtual horses, Ches. She lives in the hood. She has the perimeter of go to bed staked out, so the enemy can not breach our safety zone. Or.....our safe place. Thanks dymphna. You are a peach, my friend. A powerful peach. A tough peach. A beautiful, powerful, tough, sweet peach. That's my Dymphna.
I figure the 'go to bed' thread is where everyone's happy/safe place to go before sleep exists. Well, as long as evil exists, bad things/entities will try to get into this happy/safe space and must be stopped. So myself and my legion of angels patrol the area to make sure there are no breaches. Horses are surely part of someone's happy place and the fence had been damaged. So I fixed it after bringing a couple of escaped horses back into the safe area. Make sense? Yeah, I didn't think so. It was a heck of a try though, wasn't it? :lol:

Munda, what exactly are you thanking here. Reality, stories or bizzaro? Really please elaborate. I can get so caught up in bizzaro, I may just run off the saner elements here. Like you munda. You are so sane, so flat footed. Me, I seem to be cast about on everything bizzare. We can come back, if it bugs and just do bizzaro when it's called for. Obviously my humour is not for everyone.

I thanked because there's a little something for everyone here, and at the same time gives everyone a chance to venture out of their comfort zone :). I, for one, could probably stand to lighten up a bit more. I may, perhaps, be too much of a boring realist.
Thanks munda, I've always appreciated you honest and candid posts.
I know it's early yet, and I'm sorry for barging in Carleen, but I thought this more appropriate here now, rather than the Good Morning thread. We've now been bumped up to an official 'Ice Storm Warning' to begin 9:00 am tomorrow and end at midnight on Monday. We aren't scheduled to receive any moisture here until after 3:00 pm tomorrow, but for some reason, (continuity maybe?) they have chosen to begin the warning at 9:00 am.
If this is anything like our Spring storms, I'm inclined to say we are only going to get rain out of the system. It seems like the faster they are to make us aware of a damaging system headed our way and the worse they make it sound, the faster it all just peters out.
Just keeping you in the loop so you know when to skate on down! :thumbsup: Anyway, here's a picture of last night's beautiful sunset:

nice. What a sight.
Yes jus beautiful. I do know the pic wasn't taken in the hood ;) Now I know when to set out. It's gonna be a wicked ride, but it'll be worth it. plush some great exercise. Looking forward to seeing you dymphna.
myson got home fromschool, changed into his pajamas,crawled into bed with me andtalked to me about his day all the things he did,in extraordinary detail... first graders are fun to talk to. I dont remember snuggling with my own dad at this age,but then again i had 2younger sisters vying for their attention.
it didnt take much energy to lie there and listento him,and sometimes that is one of the happiest memories a kid can have, the consistent presence of an adult who listens.

Yes Ches, that is so memorable for a child. My teenage daughters would crawl in bed with me just to talk. So we would laugh and giggle under the covers like school kids. He just may keep on crawling in bed just to talk. My favorite part of your story...he went and got his pj's on. :)
Dymphna, I am delighted to see you have a generator. We have one big enough to run both houses and the 2 barns. It is diesel and the size of a locomotive...ok...I exagerrated. But it is huge. We hardly miss a beat. It runs everything.
Nothing changes as far as appliances you can use. No suffering here when power is out!

That is awesome Ches! Both of my sisters had a special person in their lives to pay attention and listen to just them. It was really special and made a difference for them. My Dad and I had the kind of relationship where we could be quiet for long periods of time without it being uncomfortable. That went on from the time I was a child into adulthood. That brings back some really nice memories, thank you. I hope you have special memories with your Dad, even if they weren't from snuggling. :)
The picture was taken just outside of town here. I don't know the exact spot.
They've increased the forecast of ice to be somewhere between .5" to 1". Thankfully schools will be out and most people will be off work for the weekend when it starts to get bad. If this comes to fruition, that could save lives and property. Against my better judgement, and just because you are coming, Carleen, I will be cleaning the fish tanks in case we end up needing water. It's not that they are really dirty, it's just that for guests, the fresher the water is, the better. Since Hubby will be working on Saturday, I won't be able to fill the tub with clean water because he will need a shower when he gets home. The emergency cases are refreshed and ready and all emergency equipment has been tested and ready to go as well. Now we sit and wait for nothing to happen. As a planner type person, I'm glad my ducks are in a row. I don't usually do most of these things until right before Spring when storms and tornadoes are prevalent.
Hubby went to the grocery store to pick up a couple of things for supper and he said you would have thought that World War III had been announced. Even worse than at Christmas. It was a total mad house. I bit my tongue to not say, "I told you so!", but I told him so. :lol: I tried to talk him into letting me go around 2 am (that's the best time to avoid crowds and they are almost done restocking shelves for the next day), but he wouldn't hear of it. So he got to battle it out. Now we just need the ice so Miss Carleen can skate on down and we'll be set! Woo Hoo!

Haha! -- I almost didn't thank it because I thought you might wonder about that! (Just so you know, I do not think you are boring at all.... I thanked your first sentence -- not your second and third ;D)
No munda. They love you. If anything they may be feeling or thinking about the idea of lightening up. But.... at the same time may feel this thread brings them out of their comfort zone and hope to go back to just being normal. I can try to do this, but maybe weird is my default setting. Not normal.

Being adaptable is a good quality :). I'm pretty sure 'weird' is my default setting, too. I don't really want to be normal by today's standards.

I like your humor, and blending of real with virtual and somewhat-sane with bizzaro. All your coffee pot threads are happy places.

We are Traditionals, of course 'weird' is our default setting. Our very fiber goes against the grain of modern life. We can be proud (in a good way) of that, pray we stay this way, and hope we don't fall for the nonsense that is modern life. It effects everything in our lives. It's who we are. :grouphug:

I was waiting for you to bring the Bizzaro bitter sweet Amaro drink over. Where have you been? Did you get lost on your way over from too many Bizarro from Killimanjaro bars? :lol: :beer:
:lol:
I was making the first batch of Killimanjaro and concocting the Bizarro liquor. All I need is a big barrel so I can send it over to the SD forum headquarters, wherever that may be. :beer:

Get a good night's sleep, and then God will give you a new day.

Ches....my son, you know THAT son, is here for the evening. He emailed and said he would be out tonight, if that's ok. Well, of course that's ok. My job is to act like it's not that big of a deal when my heart is soaring. This is so good. So he ate with us and is having a drink with his older brother. There is some healing going on. Thanks for praying for my family Ches.
Thank you everyone and anyone who has prayed for my family. The siblings just may patch things up. I am hopeful. This is a step in the right direction, for sure!
Oh! Go to bed is open! I'love be in and out. Behave yourselves.can don't trip over the box of goodieso in the doorway. There is something for everymone. The Canada dry ginger ale is for birdie.

He is happy to be supporting himself and living with his good friend. Though we miss him, l can see he's blossomed. It is good for him. That's all that matters. He's learning a lot about the cost of living, car upkeep, and whatnot. he'll be ok.We will just keep praying he mends relationship with older sister. Thanks for asking .
Gnite. Wishing a good sleep to all.
Yes, come in. Make a drink. Bird, some kind soul dropped a 12 pack of Canada Dry. Help yourself.
So I made a gin, tonic, cherry, mandarin orange drink. Real cherries that taste wonderful by the time my icy cold drink is finished. Dark red cherries, we buy by the case, and eat right out of the jar. They are packed in cherry juice. Love the cherry juice with vodka and tonic water. Bout 1/2 cherry juice, 1/2 tonic water. 2 shots vodka. Yum. Then of course, the cherries at bottom of glass. Yum plus.

got here to the nursing facility
they have mass here novus ordo...but that's to be expected. there was an organized group from the local Catholic young adult group "for young professionals in their 20's and 30's" it's their community service
my wife has gone a few times. saw some familiar faces i remember from when i went to that "young adult group" back when i was able to go places. I guess this is their "act of charity" or something they do often--hanging out with nursing home residents and escortingsome of the elderly folks down to Mass. saw a group comingdown the hall asking if i wantedto go to Mass i havent been in idont know howlong. the nurse saidshe wwasnt able to bring anyone downtoday which was a little disappointingbut iguess theywould have to senda nurse downstairs with me and there werent any other takers from our unit so they werentgoing to be short one nurse. So I didn't go to mass.
was a bit weird to see people in this context was kind of hoping no one would recognize me even though i recognized them....the unit here is a "young adult unit" for people who are significantly youngerthan the usual nursing home population which is interesting. although i do like crossword puzzles,classical music,playing bridge andother things old peopple like

Ches, if I were there, I'd see that they find someone to bring you to Mass. By golly, I would. A man who wants to be at mass, should be made priority. Really the spiritual component of wellness is significant as you well know. So, they should have accommodated my friend Ches. Just not right. Not right at all. >:(
GO TO BED as soon as we finish our snacks and drinks. For our snack tonight I have creamed pork chop chili with tortilla chips and grated Monterey and cheddar cheeses. This is not for the feint of heart. It is very flavorful and a bit hot. But the hot is appropriate to the spices. Not just hot to be hot. But do have a drink if you are not a "hot" eater. Do be brave. Do try it.
While not a "hot" eater, I'll choose the drink option please. Do you have any of the cherry thing you and Bernadette were having last night?
Ok, you will have one dark cherry, tonic water, cherry juice, 2 shots vodka, with at least 15 cherries floating in it with the ice cubes.

Did you hear snoring when you walked by her room, or praying? Praying, of course. So we've got to be really quiet if we are going to surprise her. Ches! How are you? Did you find someone to play the piano to accompany her Hubby on the harmonica? Oh! And balloons? Jayne, did you find someone to help you get them all blown up? Non Nobis, great job you and Jayne got them all blown up! Fleur, did you find all the stuff you needed for the snacks? Oh, that's where Stella's help came in. Good job, Lady's and gentlemen!
Bernadette, please go and see if you can hear her snoring. We'll be safe then. She is snoring? Oh, it's was the poochie I was hearing moving around. Martin, were you able to get ahold of everyone on the list? Did they RSVP at the same time? That's great! Keep working on the others.
Everyone! The place looks beautiful. I can't wait for her to see it. What? What are we celebrating? We are celebrating, thus thanking God for Carleen!

These have no added coloring and are not processed beyond canning. There is a small amount of sugar added, but that is minimal. That is evident in the flavor.Glad you could join us tonight munda! Actually, there is us, right now, just me. Well we could have a little one on one time, huh? A bit of quality time?

Waiting for sleeping meds I hear they're a real knockout
Here they give me a bath, brush my teeth, suction my airway, all while I snooze. How's that for multitasking!
Oh, shoot! I forgot to open up. Not too late though. You want anthing? Ì can dig around and find it. I know it's here. We have everything. I'm telling you, you want it! I have it.
You know, I keep having these recurring dreams where I'm going to an incredible pastry shop somewhere in Europe (I think France, actually). So pastries would be nice. :) Hazelnut, please. And then apple. And then cream-filled. Mmmm. :)
I'm having a mixture of Sleep MD and lime jello. I should be out in no time. Except I won't be, so I've got the Unisom and strawberry jello for backup. :cheeseheadbeer:

I take 2 of these every night. I haven't found anything else with that much melatonin in it. It really helps.
http://www.sleepmdhealth.com/
It's an otc sleep aid. It's got more melatonin in it than most supplements. It has 5mg of melatonin, 40mg of hops flower, 10mg of Valerian root, 10mg of GABA, and 200mg of magnesium.

That's the best I can do, unless I go foraging.

Vicious picnic table.
Picnic tables do not belong on two legs. They have a vicious streak that only comes out when they stand on two feet. They are like pigs. As soon as they stand on two feet, they look to hurt us. Give a picnic table on two feet a wide berth. They may just smash you a good one.
Yes to vinegar, Martin. Good for what ails you.

I kind of wanted to say it, too, actually. :lol: But it does sound sweeter coming from Martin. :)

I missed dinner, and now I'm eating cold fish, because I'm afraid to use the microwave. :(
Ches, when do you expect wife to be home. Mrs. C is probably missing you by now. I know I would.. Your little family is so wonderful. God bless each of you, and may your reunion be sweet! Bet 7 yr. old is more than ready to see mom and dad , and little brother, by now. He 7 yr. old, is a sweet and funny little guy, going by how you describe him.

She's in her bouncy seat. She was fussy today! I think she had a belly ache. She finally settled down and went to sleep, so I'm not bothering her.
ETA: otherwise, yes, she would be right here, snuggling next to me :)

Gite friends and adopted ones . See you in Good Morning.
Well did ja? Get IT done today? You know.....IT....that thing you woke up thinking...IT needs to be done todayl. Yup ! That's IT. Did you do IT? Well I certainly hope so. You can't put IT off forever, you know. Sometimes we just need to make time for IT. Really, you'll feel much better about your day. I hate IT, when IT sits there looking me in the face all day. IT can be so demanding, really. Usually IT is not a huge task, not really, just a nuisance task. The type that is no big deal once you get IT started. OK so maybe IT is a big deal, The only way to get around IT.....is to forget about IT ;)
I went grocery shopping. And I ate salad for dinner. I feel so proud of myself. :lol: Now: cocoa time. ;)

Hey all! Can I interest any of you in a piece of birthday ice cream cake? Oh all right. :-[ Yes, it's from my birthday, a few days ago. I totally forgot it was in the freezer! But in my defense, there was a big bag of Normandy Blend veggies in front of it. Out of sight, out of mind, right? Still, here it is. If anyone would like a piece, please help yourself. I'm sure it will taste good. *sigh

Cake please. Veggies NEVER go before ice cream cake. Never. Bernadette. When you get married and have your own refridgerator, know that that is an unforgivable faux pas.
Dymphna, just wondered if you noticed that Dymphna registered today. Just plain Dymphna. A hearty welcome to Dymphna, but we now have 3 of them. I will have to be on my toes. I don't want to be taking smack to the new plain dymphna, you know. I just may scare her off!
Technically, I already have my own refrigerator: a modest micro-fridge (mini fridge with microwave on top). :P It's big enough to hold a gallon of milk (the only real necessity) and some stuff on the shelf, and in the door. And it has a little freezer. For ice cream, of course.

Cake for the Mominator! So, another Dymphna, huh... So, what's she like... So, what's she look like... So, how holy is she... Tell me everything you know!!! I'd have to say, well, if I had to say, she must be a wee bit in the need, and I only say this to help, if it's true...If I have to say, humility. I'm quite sure she's positively lovely in every way, but...a capital D! Really? That's a sanguine move if I ever saw one. I'm kidding, just kidding I swear! :lol: Fine, have your cake Carleen and I'll go be passive/aggressive somewhere else. :P 8)
It's OK, really, to think about bedtime right now. Especially if you're tired already. Go ahead, think about your warm jammies. Put on your softest slippers. No matter it is only 7:15. You're not going yet, right? Maybe you can hang out here and talk about your sweet jammies. Or your favorite blanket. Why not? You won't go to bed yet, it's too early. It is....
early I mean. Just come in, say hello, and prepare for bed. Thatsnnot the same as going. Right?
I'm wearing a very large burgundy cotton t-shirt, and snowflake minky pajama pants. Already put clean sheets on the bed, and fluffed the featherbed. Ipod is fully charged, ready for a couple of cozy hours of audiobooks. The cat has deserted me for greener pastures, now that the weather is slightly warmer. But we can't have everything in life. :( I'm pretty full (of pancakes, in case anyone was curious), so I'm not planning on any dessert tonight. Maybe some chamomile tea. I sound like such an old lady! :rofl:

Bird, what are minky pajama pants?
I've got my long red overshirt that says LOVE on the chest pocket. My cool thing is the blanket I got out of the clearance room for $13. It is like wrapping yourself in a warm cloud. It's kind of like a heavy duty batting that has been put through a fluffing machine. That's the only thing I can compare it to that comes close to describing it. Then, I break out the throw my nephew got me for Christmas that has Our Lady of Guadeloupe's image on it. Oh. My. Goodness.!!! I don't think I've ever felt anything so soft with the exception of baby animals. It is absolutely amazing! I'm afraid to wash it. I don't want to lose that softness. So, yeah, that's my bed time story. Pass the Vodka please. ;) 8)
Is it the velvety, dense kind of throw? I think those can be washed in cold water and line-dried for the best results. They just don't like heat.

Thank you, Bernadette. Yes, it is velvety, dense, but somehow light like a cloud. I will keep it away from heat. Must keep it soft, fluffy, and beautiful
Aaah, yes. Must be one of those polyester pile ones. :thumbsup: Like a fluffy stuffed animal, but a blanket.

Sleep deprivation is just as bad as drinking for anybody, even for Stallone, Schwarzenegger and John Cena. Drowsy drivers get into accidents as often as drunk drivers. That is the moral of this interesting fact. Drowsy people should not drive. ;D

Wrong on both counts :cheeseheadbeer:
Laus is right. Alcohol, unless your are drinking moonshine, is not gross tasting. It does not make me feel like walking eyeballs. Just a few shots makes me feel warm and fuzzy. It makes me laugh heartier and dance better! I myself am funnier and more witty. Prettier and younger. Discussions may be deeper. Wisdom through the roof. You might find me singing in the rain, or spouting stupid poetry that sounds grand to me. I am more cordial, a better hostess, and even...a better cook. You see now bird?

OK bird. You must have nasty drunks in the family, or relatives. Plus, you have your coffee that I'll bet makes you feel warm and fuzzy, and like singing in the rain. Reading poetry and laughing heartier. Good coffee can do that, but I can't do any of the above....CANT...without....coffee. So we are back to where we started, I think we started, COFFEE.

PS: with regard to alcohol tasting gross I must admit that I was never a fan of vodka and I still admit that vodka is yuck. However Johnnie with coke tasted good to my surprise and I never liked the smell of JW.
Yep! That time again. This happens every. single. night. Can't fight it guys. There is a point in each day we have to think about turning in. Some try to put it off. Some are too anxious to get in bed. I am somewhere in between. But at some point, every night, I throw in the towel and obey my body screaming at me to give it up. Then each morning I am happy to be alive and say a cheerful "Good Morning" because number1, I have my coffee. Number 2, I am alive. Just joking. I am happier to be alive, than to have my coffee. I think. Therefore, I am.

I love 6. But then, I love 7. 7 is first communion time. It is a great thing to prepare him and see him receive for the first time! But 6 is supposedly the age that has been agreed on for age of reason, consent to sin. Some kids remain so good and so pure well beyond 6. 6 is just a generalization. You little guy sounds so good and pure.
Come in. Its raining. Do you want to get all wet? Come in. We are warm and cozy. It is not bedtime. This is just chat time. Chatting is needed. Really. We need to share and build relationships. This is a good way to do it. Don'cha think?Maybe this is cheesy. Go ahead. Let me know. Besides, I hate cheesy. But cheesy or not this is an effort to build friendships even if we are not all on the same page about all things. A drink or two could fix this. A drink or two makes us just warmer towards one another. Even coffee helps loosen the tongue.Come on in. Let's talk.

Eating? Absolutely nothing. Wait!!!!!!! Hold the phone!!!!!!!! In my vodka tonic water drink I put a spoonful of cherries in it
. Then I ate the cherries. They taste so good after soaking in vodka! But, besides vodka cherries tonight, I ate one small, one medium apple. That's it, bird.
I've never liked apples much. Now, oranges I could eat every day. Especially those little satsumas. So tasty.

You know what else is really good soaked in vodka? No, not me. That's cute though. No, it's....gummy bears!! They are so good! I used to only eat them at the movie theater. I'd sit there and make them exercise during the previews and I figured that if I ate them after they did their exercise, there wouldn't be any calories in eating them. It's the same thing with soaking them in vodka. No calories!! :crazy2: :skeptical: :thumbsup:

I've never liked apples much. Now, oranges I could eat every day. Especially those little satsumas. So tasty.
OK bird. No amount of drinks can make me not love apples! It may be because I grew up with apple trees. So we will agree to disagree about apples. Seems you and I end up here alone alot.. Maybe we could invite laus, or Martin. They would make thin?so a bit more interesting than what ì am eating!
You're here my dymph! You're really here. Now, dymph is here, and the fun starts! Did you ride your Harley dymph?
Careful what you wish for... 8)
Awww, it's so nice to be loved. I love you too, Sweet Carleen. You sure spoil me. I did ride my Harley tonight. It's my Ultra Classic while my Heritage is getting a new do. The UC is alot quieter and why you probably didn't hear me pull up.
Well you know I know nothing about an thing Harley related. But quiet is good for sneaking up on people. Nope I did not hear you pull up, dymphna.
Got my final word from my body, it said "quit trying to start a party and get to bed!" So I said OK.
This should be no surprise, but it is time once again to give bed just a teeny weeny bit of thought. I just finished cleaning the kitchen. And yes, I did a fine job. No half a**ed cleaning in my kitchen! Do it right or don't do it...my motto. Uh...unless....I am pooped. Then, if I'm too pooped to pop, I wait till morning. Then I do the great job I should have the night before. See? So, anyway, do you need some refreshments or are you all comfy and set up? Well I could use a drink......so.......somebody? Anybody?
I've been cleaning. Then rewarded myself with cutting leather. Trying to decide where I want to put the small pockets: on the front, or one on each side. Now: tea and cake. :)

How is your arm

How is your arm
Going in to vascular surgeon tomorrow. We'll see. No worse and it seems in very small ways the blood thinner has maybe begun to work. But I'm leaning towards the surgery, otherwise blood thinner til the end of my days. Still much pain in arm. Still can't do my hair, ches. ;)
By the way, I can't tell you how happy I am that you checked in. I've been worried Ches. So glad to "see"you! You are a bright spot here, for me.

Ok. Toasting finished. So am i. Not another toast I tell you. Not one more. Except to Laus. He has charitably lowered himself to visit us here. He deserves a toast, doncha think?
Ok. One big toast to MFL. One for Pence. One for attendees. Oh. Open now. Night time topics encouraged. Snacks too.
The kids and I just finished dinner, so I'm stuffed. But, there's some wine and crusty artisan bread,if anyone is interested. After I get everyone to bed, I'm going to play with watercolor :D

Thought I would stop by!
I'm probably dense, but who is MFL? And no I haven't been drinking - but I'm ready for some wine in a few minutes!
First I have to go for a walk, as the sun is almost setting. It's been sunny since it stopped raining a few days ago. The California drought is over... well at least sort of, for large parts of the state, but of course they always say we must still conserve :P
March for Life = MFL. Took me a bit at first to get it, too :)
Non... March For Life. You knew that! But just in case absent mind took over for the moment....now you know.
Munda, the artisan bread will sound good to someone, so yes. I have a pizza, and chili. I make kick butt chili by the way.
Oh, munda, she beat me to it, sorry for the repeat, non.
I'm in the mood for something frilly & silly. Do you know how to make a pina colada, Carleen? And I'm talking about the kind with ice cream, coconut, and chunks of pineapple in it. I've only had one that knocked my socks off and that was in Virginia. I keep hoping to find some one with the magic recipe.
Topic for the evening, besides a real pina colada - If you could go back in time in your life to change something, what would it be?

Artisan bread sounds good to ME. And pizza. Chili - well I'm not a big chili fan, but if yours is "kick butt" I will certainly have to try it. I do sometimes need a kick in that area ;).
A pina colada sounds good too, to take SOME of the kick out of that chili.

No, sorry about the pina-colada. If I could go back I would change my 12-18 years. All of them. I hate them now and do not look back fondly at all. More specific, I would change me in those years. How bout that dymph?

There are a few habits I wish I would have formed when young in life; it would have made things nicer now. E.g. my condo wouldn't be such a mess. Possible to change now (and keep it that way), but easier back then.
My condo complex is really lovely on the outside; I appreciate it even when taking out the garbage at night! Lights, architecture, palm trees, and other greenery. It looks like you are on vacation. Inside, you have to work to see that there is some loveliness underneath clutter and dust, and even ground in dirt.
Yes, I would change me back then too. A little more cultivation of discipline would have been good. On the other hand, maybe if I WOULD have been a cheerleader that would have made a lot of difference too! More pep!
I would have gone onto higher education sooner and could have had a better career going. I had always wanted to be a nurse or a veterinarian, if I had to work out in the world. It's a good thing neither of those things happened. But it sure would have been fun to find out.
Or become a bartender, so I would know how to make the awesome Pina Colada. :lol:

It's funny but one thing I never regretted was not going to college. You would think I would wouldn't you? But Dymphna, at least you did something. If I could I would grant your wish. To be a bartender so you could make us Pina coladas ;D
dymphna, if you want frilly and silly, you'll have to pick a different game. ;) Everything I would change is not worth repeating. All I know is I couldn't be happier with where I am now, though. I wouldn't change my current situation for anything.

Munda, that is music to my ears. Really. Does it get any better. I think not!
Going to bed. Gnite all. Behave.
I make a mean piña colada. I used to be a bartender in a fancy Asian restaurant that served these crazy Polynesian drinks, the kind with all sorts of fruit floating in them. Yeah, I know, the piña colada is Puerto Rican, but we served those too. I'll go make us a round.

In some real way,
God put us in our current situation - willing all good and permitting all evil (although we caused the evil) along the way. Right NOW (if we are in the state of Sanctifying Grace) God has us where He wants us NOW, in the palm of His hand... We may have messed up the "original plans", but did not escape God's loving providence.

You are right, Munda. I was originally thinking of something like, I wish I had done my own makeup for my wedding. But then Hubby and I were talking, I got distracted and then came up with what I said. I'm sorry everybody, I didn't mean to be a downer on the thread. I'll leave the topic choosing to the experts here, from now on. :trainwreck: :beer:

No worries. I'm just too jaded for my own good ;). Actually, I
do wish I had worn makeup for my wedding. I don't wear it on a daily basis; only for church, date nights, special occasions, etc. and even then, I take a "less is more" approach. So, on my wedding day, I was worried about wearing makeup and not looking like me, so I just went without. In hindsight, I wish I had worn just a touch, so I didn't look washed out in pictures. My sister tried to talk me into it, but I was stubborn.....I should've listened to her! No matter. It was still one of the best days of our lives :)

I wish I was pretty enough to go without makeup. Some people, like you Munda, just have that special glow about them that too much makeup would ruin their beauty. I don't wear alot, eyeliner, mascara, and blush pretty much covers it for me. If I want to dress it up I'll wear some eye shadow. A lady in our parish sold a certain kind of makeup, I can't remember the name of it (it wasn't Avon). Anyway, she really wanted to do my makeup as well as the Bridesmaid's. She did a really nice job on everyone else, but I hated mine. I just didn't have the guts to redo mine. Oh well. Like you said, it was still one of the best days of our lives. :)

I love playing mind games with my dog. Tell him Billy coming, when he's not and watch him go find a sock to present and after find the sock he goes to the window with his tail all waggy. I know I shouldn't but I do it anyway.
And little, dymph, let's play....describe the grossest thing you had to touch. Hope your finger recovers.
I'm not sure I want to play that game, either :lol:
When my oldest was about 4, we were in Mass, and I looked over and could tell she was about to throw up. I put my hands in front of her and caught it :ack:. Which was almost as gross as the rotten egg I cracked years ago. I was pregnant, and I just couldn't handle it. Nothing smells worse than a rotten egg! I will never forget that.

Oooo You are right Munda. Catching warm barf doesn't have alot of equals in disgustingness, but rotten egg is right up there for gross smells. Dead bodies out of a properly temperature regulated cooler for too long tops everything though. That's a smell that just thinking about it brings it front and center to your nose and activates the gag reflex all over again. Excuse me, I think I'll take a little walk. :whistling: :ack:
Thank you miss dymphna, I always heard nothing tops it. Thank you for sharing!
Yes. All good examples of gross. Now I want you to close your eyes, put your hands out and see what my little ones brought. It is wet and writhing. It is about 8 inches long and heavy. Now open your eyes and see the beautiful worm we caught, mama. It was a banana slug. I screamed.

Parenting rule #1: if your child comes up and says, "close your eyes!...". Don't.ever.
I thought this would be popular, but then I like medical pictures.

sounds like somethingmy son woud do he loves to find gross stuff outside and bring it indoors to show me one time he dragged a rotting piece of wood home from Prospect Park to show me the orange fungus growing on it.
10 years gives you a lot of time to hit everything.
Yes I am mean, but it elicits the cutest response! And yes the dog exudes happiness and is such a good guy. He would be mourned if anything happened. He loves when the choir comes. He sits at their feet and they love him. Glad you got a chuckle Ches. We must have 1 chuckle a day. I can just see your little guy hauling a big chunk of wood up to your apartment. I'd get a chuckle seeing that!
So.....it is now OK to open this thread. Too early we go to bed early. Too late, why bother. I have a couple loaves homemade bread to share. Some salmon steaks. Some rice pilaf, mushroom and onion pilaf. C'mon. Make a drink and join me. CHEERS!
:lol: I saw "salmon steaks," and thought: "Oh, no! It's FRIDAY, and I just finished a huge plate of sausage gravy and eggs!" :eek: Don't scare me like that, Carleen! :swoon1:

You know, what makes this
especially funny is my almost obsessive aversion to eating fish/water dwellers. More for you, Martin. ;)
Martin, good choice! But it is a bit late for dinner. You will have to stay up late....just to digest.
My friend's visiting from Baltimore my sons godfather he brought his 7 year old son they are having a great time. My wife made dinner usually the smell of food makes me sick but it smells good I
Ithink eggplant cutlets
Kids both said it was disgusting which usually means it's good. Have never had my wife's cooking but she has been making a lot of things

Wow, never eating your wife's food is perspective for me. I will not complain. But company, kids, disgusting food, oh yeah. Sounds like a party at your house.

You'd think so, wouldn't you? :lol: Thankfully for me, Commodore Matthew Perry's little trip eventually led to the introduction of beef, pork, and chicken into Japanese cuisine. :grin: Plus, plenty of dishes can just be made vegetarian.

Yes glad to see people enjoying themselves
When we first got together she ate only celery and miracle whip sometimes strange concoctions with iceberg lettuce and cottage cheese. Whereas I used to make my own real food.. Meat, vegetables that aren't iceberg lettuce
S o making things that call for lots of olive oil, or bread, or meat, or whole milk etc represent a lot of healing and recovery

True, true. But in my experience even the vegetarian options usually included seaweed. :)
I just pick the seaweed out, or swallow it whole if it's small enough. :shrug: If I'm serving myself, I don't take any seaweed. It's also why I don't like sushi, except inarizushi (we always call it "beanbag sushi"). :lol:

She's come a long way, hasn't she Ches? That is just too wonderful, you must be very proud of her. Are things settling down for her at work now that the election is over?
Bernadette - I thought "Oh no, it's Friday again?" too when I read the word salmon. Sent a little panic through me. :lol:
Hey! Time to play before bed. Not time to sleep yet. You want to be up at 4? Go right ahead, but coffee is not ready in good morning until someone rolls out of bed and makes some. Unless you want to make it. Smooth and bold, nothing wimpy or instant. You do weak or instant and we can't vouch for your safety.
Actually, I kind of do want to get up at 4:00. :lol: :tinfoil: Plus, who'm I kidding, I just want to snuggle up in my feathers and listen to Sherlock Holmes: the sooner, the better. :lol:

Then....you're it!!!!!! You get to make the coffee. 2 pots. One for the early birds, one for the stragglers in.
Stragglers make their own coffee. Less straggling, that way. ;)

True, true. There's that. Though I will say that I never
expect anyone to provide me with coffee. Making one's own coffee is a natural result of not being present when the coffee is made by someone else. How about a Keurig machine? Hot, fresh coffee at the push of a button. I think there's a new one (FINALLY), where you can make more than 10 ounces at a time.Actually, all this talk about coffee is making me want a cup
really badly. Must resist. :(
Some of us just need a HAND. Bird. You know. A kind act is all it takes. Do you really know who you are serving?
Oh. okay. :-[
:cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :baby1: :baby1: :rofl:
I know my bird, that was a wee bit juvenile of me. I will make my own coffee. I deserve to.

I'll tell you something crazy. Ever see that movie Fried Green Tomatoes? That part where Idgie drives off, yelling "TOWANDAAAA!" and then Evelyn yells it after bashing into the teenagers' car at the grocery store? Well, the last book that I mailed (for paperbackswap.com) was going to someone in Towanda, IL! :lol: I almost died laughing, when I read the address! Just thought of it, since I'm watching the movie right now on the computer. :rofl:

I've seen the move but don't really remember it well, at least vividly (even though I know it was a vivid movie!) Maybe I remember it subconsciously, because it still made me laugh.
But doesn't bashing a teens' car and yelling "Towanda!" make everyone laugh?
Does "Towanda" mean the same as "Cowabunga"? Pretty close!

Bulls don't come with sidesaddles, Laus. 8)
Goes to show what I know
Oooooo. Bird. Good comeback. That's right no sidesaddle. Ride the Bull while watching hockey, bird. There are 2 bulls. Laus can ride one, too! Laus, what will you be wearing? Maybe a butt protector? A backpack to hold your 12 pack rolling rock?

Bed time for some. Maybe me. Have to see. Maybe just one wee little drink first.
We will be turning in soon. I'm tired; husband is tired. Kids are getting dinner dishes cleaned, then it's night prayers and bed....
Got to put my son to bed
Most dads don't do this they think is beneath then... But they are missing out
Usually by the time he goes to bed I am in my bed and my wifedoes his bedtime but this time we wentinto the room, i saidsome prayers nextto his bed in my chair We talked read some stuff from my tablet and he went to bed after we were done. except i could tell he was staying up just a little longer to read his 1,000 page Pokemon Handbook which explains every single pokemon and its evolutions and mega evolutions in vivid detail. i did not know it was possible to know this much about pokemon.
We have gotten to level 27 in the game,but he has shown me whole levels of pokemon obsession ididnt even know existed. he thinks he is getting away with something, reading under the covers with his flashlight. he thinks he's living on the edge.
You know you have it good when the most rebellious thing your kid does is read after bedtime
Mrs and i got to sit in the kitchen afters she finished the dishes she had a cup of peppermint tea andshe mademe some iced pppermint tea--one of th few things my stomach can handle. was pleasant to sit around the kitchen table and just talk about the past week like a normal married couple
these everyday things are what I enjoy the most. for me i dont get to do normal stuff all that often. when i was a kid i remember most werethe everyday things. The way my mom served dinner, walking to school with my cousins,etc. buta lot of these normal things are more once in awhile t
Awww, Ches. :) You're a lucky guy.
I'm not sure why you think most Dads think that is beneath them, and don't put their kids to bed....my husband helps puts our children to bed every night, unless he is sick or out of town. We do it together. He even blesses them with the Sign of the Cross on their forehead (though that is a recent development). Many of the Dads I know help tuck their kids in, if they can.
I'm drinking wine and watching Suits. I should be in bed but I'm too excited. Getting my puppy tomorrow ;D ;D ;D

You try in to make me cry,Ches? Those are the moments I miss. I used to crawl in bed with them. They would read to me while I'd be sleeping. That was a warm pleasant evening. And it was all yours. Almost makes a guy feel normal. In anything but a normal situation. :) ;)

i remember my dad trying to get out of bedtime when I was a kid. he got home from work late and said he was tired. so i remember listening to my parents have that "I'm tireder than you" conversation trying to see whose life was more exhausting, my dad commuting into manhattan or my mom staying home with 3 kids under 4 (at the time) and trying to put us all to bed at the same time. Both seemed to think they were the tireder one. Not sure who actually was. if he did put anyone to bed it was usually me because I was the oldest

One dad doesn't translate to most ;). Your example still doesn't explain why you think most dads think putting kids to bed is beneath them.
Today I would say that a lot more dads are involved with bedtime, among other aspects of raising kids. I think that it is probably more old fashioned for the dad not to be as involved with stuff like changing diapers, baths bedtime, nursing scraped knees.
I never saw my dad change a single diaper or feed a baby a bottle but there were always other women to help my dad out. I Have given both of our sons a bottle though
Now i will say this.... i have known a lot of guys who said they would never change a diaper and then the baby is born and it turns out that it doesn't make sense especially with how spread out extended family can be these days. It may not be what they feel like doing after a long day. But most men will do what needs to be done even if it's not something they feel like.
When I was born, I had loads of health problems and spent months in an incubator at the hospital a couple hours away from where my parents lived. My father drove to the hospital every evening after work, to take a fresh supply of pumped milk and feed me, as well as to make sure I had skin-to-skin contact. According to him, my mother never made the trip. :shrug: All I have is his word for it, and while he's inclined to remember things in such a way as to present himself in the best light, I'm inclined to believe him in this instance.
Well, let's see. Maybe I'll just go to bed. I mean really, it is almost midnight. No one will be dropping in. Bird and Chest already stuck their heads in. .. HI BIRD. HI CHES. Goodnight guys.

When the kids were small I fell asleep putting them to bed. I'd have to drag myself out of their bed at around midnight. I was always more tired than them. Who knows what they did after I fell asleep! What a mom!
Well, I went to bed, I slept, and I woke up after nightmares. So I'll try again in a little bit.

What are you going to name the puppy? The people who lived in the other half of the duplex we lived in, in California, had a yellow lab. It's name was literally D.O.G., as in dee oh gee. :lol:
But the funniest name I've ever heard was what an inmate at the prison I worked at, named the lab she was training to be a service dog. She named it Wifey. She said she could just picture some big, burly guy walking the dog and having to say things like, "Heel wifey!" or if she got away, he'd be calling, "Here Wifey! Get back here, Wifey!" or the best one in her opinion was, "Here Wifey, Wifey, Wifey!" She would burst out laughing at the thought of it. It would be kind of funny to see that. Can't you just see Kaese chasing a dog in the park, yelling, "You get back here Wifey! You just wait until I get you home, Wifey!" :cheeseheadbeer: The inmate got into trouble and had to change the name and have the dog used to the new name before she left the facility to go to her new owner. It must have worked out because I never heard anything to the contrary.

Here! :seeya: we are relaxing on the back porch for a bit before dinner. Wine, beer, and cigars for whoever wants it
I'm here! I actually have 3 kids around me here - a novel feeling. Their parents abandoned them to go on a trip for a few days, to visit another child who is boarding in a school in Idaho. Brr, I'm glad they left us in sunny warm So. Ca. The kids are ages 12 - 18, but their parents were nervous about leaving them alone. The 12 year old is a tornado. I wish someone would bottle that energy for me.
Anyway, I suppose I should abstain tonight, even if I feel like I could use a drink.
Rats, I can't eat with you either - stupid diet!

When I brought my previous cat, Mousetrap, home from the woman who had raised him after finding him under her porch, he ran up to my hound and
threw himself at her pointy snout in some kind of wrap-around cat-hug! He'd been raised with a Lab. :lol: Momoko wasn't able to be exposed to the dogs young enough: I had to quarantine her in the bathroom due to a respiratory infection. Now she hisses and arches whenever she sees them :( She also fluffs her fur up, which is pretty cute.

Well, there are no animals around here afraid of the dog, but there's always a first. Even the sheep look at him bored.
My dog disowned me to go hang out with my aunt's dog and sleep on my aunt's bed. :'( Guess I just wasn't enough of a "pack" for her. Funny thing is, as much as my aunt complains about the hassle of caring for two dogs, she always objects whenever I offer to re-assume the hound's room and board. ::)

I don't think she's afraid....just mad that we brought another animal category into her territory. It was just those two for a long time.

I love Riley. And I love Riley.
Go to bed is sooooò open That's right. We are open for business. Maybe munda will share some wine and cigars, if her kids have not consumed them already. Really, some parents are so permissive. But hey, who am I to judge. Maybe this is not such a good thing. But then again, they will not be enamored with them later on when young adults begin to explore adult delights. Maybe the younger they start to enjoy these legal pleasures, the less they will desire them. We'll ask munda in 10 years how this worked out for her.

Laus, I keep going back to THIS^^^^^^^. I could so easily fall in love with her. She looks like a peaceful pup in this pic. Is she? Has she been crying? Missing momma? How old is she? I want her. Puppies are work, but really worth the work. The more interaction the more she attaches and voila! She will love you, become devoted, and serve you. a the greatest thing we get from dogs is their companionship. What a gift they can be. Give her a snuggle for me, Laus. I wish I could go all through this again with my dog. That's how very much I loved it!

Aww... She really does have a sweet and peaceful look to her, doesn't she?! Beautiful little pup you have there, Laus.
I'll bet Riley still has puppy breath. This makes me wish I had animals again.
Almost time for bed!! woo hoo!! Jose Cuervo, you are a friend of mine; lalala Can I get anybody anything while I'm up? I've got a single piece of Sour Cream and Raisin Pie that I'm trying to pawn off. If anyone is interested, I'll be very, super, hugely happy to get it to you.

It is gross, imo, but it's Hubby's favorite. Here is a link to a recipe for it:

QuoteMakes: 8 servings

Bake 15 mins

Login to save this recipe
ingredients
2 cups dairy sour cream
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 egg yolks
1 cup raisins
3 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 cup sugar
1 baked 9-inch pie shell
directions
In a heavy medium saucepan stir together the sour cream, 1-1/2 cups sugar, flour, egg yolks, and raisins. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Keep warm.
For meringue, place the egg whites and cream of tartar in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form (tips curl). Gradually add 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high speed about 4 minute more or until mixture forms stiff glossy peaks (tips stand straight).
Pour warm filling into baked pie shell. Spread meringue over filling. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 15 minutes. Remove and cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Chill 3 to 6 hours before serving; cover for longer storage.
Oh, meringue is a dealbreaker.

Not much going on here (which is how I like it). Went grocery shopping, found perfect coffee cup, ate tasty leftovers. Now I'm settling in for a night of sewing, audiobooks, and baby doughnuts. :grin:

Snowstorm here. Chopping wood and getting the fire stoked

Snowstorm here. Chopping wood and getting the fire stoked
We get our wood processed , at least 15 cords, all processed by end of fall and early winter. So, storm or no, we are prepared, works been done. No anxious prep for storms. We have lumber mills around here. You can get a truckload and trailer full for 40 dollars, various cuts, but it's so cheap, you don't mind trimming and drying it out if need be.
It was 80° here today. Kids played in the hose yesteday :cheeseheadbeer:
SNOW DAY!!!!
No school tomorrow!!!
Woohoo!
I know it's not time yet, but I'm too excited to wait and I don't know where to put this news. His Eminence Raymond Cardinal Burke is giving the 2nd annual Defense of the Faith Lecture tomorrow in Kansas City and I get to go!! Hubby has gone back and forth as to whether he'll let me go alone (he's got to be to work at 4 am Saturday morning), but finally gave me the go ahead. It's going to be terribly interesting. Did I say I was excited?

It's an hour to an hour and a half drive from here, it will be at night when he's sleeping, and he didn't know what part of town it was in. He was picturing me alone on the side of the road with a flat tire in a seedy part of the city that I'm not necessarily familiar with, after dark. It has been a while since I've done anything like this. It's sweet, but I had to remind him that I'm not completely helpless. :laugh:

I'm actually finally feeling normal again. :) Thank goodness! I didn't even want coffee! :lol: That must be the new indicator. I still remember being about 11, and my aunt offering me a brownie, and me refusing it. "That's not normal. You're sick." Sure enough, she was right: fever, two days in bed, and not wanting any food until my grandma came in and said: "I'm going to make you udon. And you're going to eat it."

My grandma definitely "spoiled" me. But note that whether I
wanted to eat the udon was completely irrelevant. It was just going to happen, no question about it. And sure enough, I ate it. :lol:

"Go to bed" is now open for all those laying around in their pjs, all the sickiès, all the sad and lonely. Bring a bottle, medicinal of course, and we will do a toast together just because.

I BACK! Finally, home took SO long. They ran 7 different tests, but at least I don't have to go back again until the surgery which is set for monday the 27th. So there we go I've got a date with a Handsome young surgeon. Hope he keeps my dignity while I'm unconcious!
So where is everyone? I think a bit of cheer is in order. Let's not go to bed without a chuckle. Bernadette, bring on your potente cocoa. Or at least a few cookies or chips to go with our cheerful cheers.
What? You need an lolcat?

I treated myself to the last two remaining giant Hershey's chocolate advertising coffee mugs at Walmart today, and they were each filled with assorted Hershey's miniatures and a mini teddy bear. Help yourselves. ;)

I know some people who would be offended. Not me. That is really funny.
Time now. Yep time for just a wee bit of celebration. We have finished another day. And pray for tomorrow. Another new day. A gift to us. The gift of opportunity to repair, prepare, pray, put God first, be small, be generous, carry our crosses with a smile and yield our will to God. Each and everyday offers the opportunity to improve, go forward in our daily journey. Yes this calls for celebration, doncha thinj? That's how I see it.

Goin, going, gone...zzzzzz
Get in there! Get those dinner dishes done! You will not be able to truly relax until dishes and cleanup. Then it is most appropriate and highly recommended that you put on jammies. That's right. Get those slippers. Put on all that is bed oriented. Now we party! Really . Please stop in and make me laugh. It's been a slightly dull day. Weather wise it was gorgeous. So I putzed around, doing laundry, dishes, whatnot. Oh whatnot was so very dull today. I hate to do dull whatnots. So bring a drink. I have some eggrolls. Please help yourself. Bring me a treat if you would be so kind. A marshmallow treat would be nice.

Raspberry marshmallow whippets. I've been drooling over the Vermont Country Store's candy/cookie section. ;D
My cat brought me a young vole. Dropped it in the house, under the far craft bench behind the desk, and it ran into a box under there. I had to crawl under, take the box outside, and release it. ::) I hate Spring. :-\

Mallomars!!!!!!!!
Jubilate, I will share. The bird has given me all of them to share or do as I please. So please have some!
Is that what mallomars, are?! :lol: Is that a brand name, or the actual name for that kind of cookie? I've only ever seen the "pinwheel" kind, where the marshmallow is sort of swirly, and there's a hole in the middle through the cookie and everything.

It's like what you posted, except no raspberry stuff. Just a cookie, marshmallow, and then dipped in chocolate.
Going to bed now. Goodnight my bird. And all.
Well now, don't think because the door is open, that yout all need to run off to bed. I know I am momma bed head, but momma's nowhere near ready for bed. Any one up for a game for scrabble, monopoly, risk, euchre, hangman, or whatever. We really need the brain exercise. Do you guys want my brains to turn to mush? Well I'm on my way, my job is to keep it from going further! Maybe we can help each other stay genious.I am you know. Really, I'm just shy to show it! How about you?

I play a mean game of scrabble!
Scrabble's always been my favorite too! Oh, and Bernadette, you're welcome. ;) That Vermont Country Store is addictive in and of itself. That doesn't count the stuff inside. I'll take a Malomar as long as it has the raspberry stuff inside, if you have any left. :pray1: Please let her have some left!

Personally, I'm dying to try these, after re-reading Little House in the Big Woods last night. Maple sugar leaves! Canadians, feel free to partake, too! :beer:

I'm in for scrabble! I love that game. But, only if Jayne's not playing, or is on my team....her vocabulary is too rich for my blood.
Bernadette, those links didn't work for me, but.....every time we make a caramel sauce for popcorn, the kids get out ice cubes, to try and make caramel candies a la Little House.
In my opinion, I think it's time to get ready for bed. Tomorrowe is a big day, right? So go slip into your jammies. In your jammies make dinner and think about how you want to spend your evening. Reading, writing, drinking, eating, gaming, or whatever. Get a plan. It's a big nite. Yes siree! Adults nite. After kids go to bed. Early. Throw books at em. Let them read to each other. The get out your entertainment implements! Icebbucket, tonic water, joke book, olives, or fruits, sweet and lovely beer steins. Cards, game boards, guns, whatever! Anything goes! Gonna be a fun one. Maybe.
I forgot. Get that rosary said before the party. Really. Is there even one good reason not to?

But orate, the party has just begun! It's only 9:20! Come back and think about this.
Nah, there's got to be a first one down. After that everyone can sit back and relax. Sweet dreams and a pleasant tomorrow, Orate! :cheeseheadbeer: Now, who's got the dice? Pass the vodka and cranberry please. :swoon2:

That Orate, takin' one for the team like that. :thumbsup:
Bird, Dymph, good night. I am tired. Dymph, I really tried to drum up a party, I did, but hey, if they're not going to come, they're not going to. Too little to late Dymphná.. Really sorry about this. Here she iis, all dressed up and nowhere to go. Sorry Dymph and Bird. I had a good hot cocoa recipe. Bummer.
Right now.6:25. Get things lined up. You are probably doing dishes after a fine Sunday dinner. So what did you eat? And for dessert? We went out to Applebee's for lunch/dinner. Only dishes are from breakfast. They can wait until until tomorrow. I would be happier to have a bunch of dishes. That would mean lots of my peeps here. Can't have too much interaction. Can't catch a cold or flu before my big day. So it will be a lonely week. Plus the university hospital is so complicated and huge it is like being at Detroit Metro! Huge parking garages, valets......if I were alone, I don't know if I could find my way to where I'm going! So visitors may be few.
Anyway, back to the line up. Say rosary. Make kids get into jammies. Play a game with them. Let them laugh and show off for a bit. My living room is big enough for 3 kids to do cartwheels at the same time. That's part of the fun, going to gramma's. The yard has lots of swings, climbing ropes, and things to jump off of. This is like wonderland to little kids. So much room, animals and barns to explore, of course with an older child or adult! I wish I were a kid again! 8 would be a great age. The grandkids are like sunshine on a crappy day. They are in /out, in/out, sweaty and dirty. Big smiles and bigger stories!
So Sunday nite....let them babble and watch this mom, watch this! Let them get it all out. You must, if you want a peaceful evening. If they don't get it all out, they will not be able to sleep. Kids have so much to say and show you. Then they can slow their little brains down enough to feel sleepy. Sleepy is a funny things. They can be ever so tired, but sleepy is required for them to actually go to bed and sleep instead of restless legs syndrome in children, that propels them to the toilet 5 times and put their feet on sibling closest to them. Yes little children have restless legs syndrome when they haven't expended enough energy before bed time :)
I know, I'm all over the map here. Nothing really makes sense, but babbling is an art form. I cab babble with the best of them, as you can see.

I am unpredictable. Depends on a few things. Probably more of an early than late nighter.
Sorry to hear hubby sick. Hope it doesn't run through the house. Maybe he should go to the isolation ward.

Hubby coughing all last night. He got a sinus infection secondary to the flu. So this is me tonight. Goin' to sleep even earlier than usual.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear Hubby isn't well, Orate. We'll keep you both in our prayers. Hope tonight is a better night. :pray3:
Happy, as always, when you drop in, dymph. Your prayer are like a balm, because we know they are blended in with your sufferings. More efficacious that way, maybe. You have a decent day my friend? Where's my Bird? Haven't seen today. Hope she is well. Poor Yankee. Nothing like a rude dog popping up while trying to fulfill our Sunday obligation.
iwish i could sleep like that bear
everyone in my household is really grumpy. the mrs had to take me to the ER last night with both boys in tow. right around the time my son is fast asleep in bed. so they didnt get a chance to sleep much and i didnt sleep well. my brain feels like someone put it through a paper shredder. they boh were at the hospital in their pajamas and it was a difficult night for my oldest kid the little baby could sleep in the stroller but there was no place for our bigger kid to sleep. so he tried sleepig on the bed they had for me but they didnt want him to do that and the er wasvery full.
they had a TV and put on the disney channel for my son since he was really really really bored and crabby by the morning and t was playing an episode of doc mcstuffins and i had a ptsdflashback from watchng doc mcstuffins...think i have reached a new low point.

Oh Ches, I think you may be right, about your new low point. I will step up the prayers and offer tomorrow up for you, and your family. A man needs his nutrition and sleep. He just does. Going to offer all I have for you my friend. Combined with your family's prayers for you.You are a good man Ches. You had better believe it. One more bad night will not defeat your family. Son and wife will sleep. Don't know about you, but they will be better in morning, I assure you. Your other mom. :grouphug:
^ Carleen? I think auto-complete got ahead of itself, there. :huh:
But listen to Carleen, Ches. :)

Time to wrap things up. Dry the dishes. Dry the kids. Quit with the big project. It will wait until morning. Time for your rosary and then relax and take a load off. Tomorrow will be here before you know it!
8:30. Pj's allowed now. You may think about bed, but it's still early. How about a little drink. Of your choice of course. If you can think it, I have it. Virtually....whatever you want. How about chips, pita crisps, tortillas, hummus, avacado dip, spinach dip. Peanut butter pretzels, nachos, or fruit and vodka. Are kids in bed? Time for poker? Euchre? Scrabble. I'll kill you! Not really. I start out feeling cockey and end up with a mediocre performance.
Sorry gang, I'm probably the first one in tonight!! How Crazy is that. I have to find out what is going on. To do that, sometimes you gotta talk, so I;n off to talk. Good night all! Talk and pray,Can't go wrong with talk and pray. Right? Right. Love to all!

I know it's past time for the 'go to bed' thread, but :rofl: :lol: :rofl: :lol: :rofl: :patriot: You are most awesome in the finding of the cute pictures, Orate. :cheeseheadbeer:

You are definitely the Hostess Queen, not for a day, not until the restaurant closes, but for decades and until you decide to bestow your beautiful crown (thorns and diamonds all) elsewhere, your Highness.
Out of curiosity, what are the party hats for?
We are celebrating NOTHING. NOTHING tell you. Just a celebration for the sake of celebrating. Now get your hat on.
OK Ladies and Germs,
It's parttteeeaaay time! Won't see neither hair nor hide of Hubby for probably around 3-4 weeks, if not months. He bought a semi-new airplane this last weekend. I'll post pictures as soon as they become available. So there is that. But wait!!! There's more!!! Today, the ultimate of all toyz to ever come out of the Mens Department; you guessed it right if you guessed it to be....DJI Phantom P3-STANDARD Quadcopter Drone!!!!! :swoon2: :cheer: :swoon: Aaannndddd we're out! ;) 8) :cheeseheadbeer:
Non!!!!! Get your hat on! We are celebrating NOTHING. NOTHING HAPPENING. And I am celebrating the nothingness of this day. So Non, pick a hat. Many choices. I'm sure there is a flattering one in the bunch.
Gotta say my rosary with hubbs. Be right back.

And here I though we were partying and celebrating NOTHING. An airplane is bib. Real big, Dymphna. Well see how you migraines are for the next 2 weeks ;) But, it is now time to get down to business. We need a cakinator. Some one must supply a cake. Without calories of couse! We need a musicateer. You know your job. We need a beverage coach. There, let's do it!

There's so many to choose from; I can't decide.
Besides if I pick a hat, won't it be all for nothing?
- Non
I am interested in cake without calories... (I guess that is more of nothing!)
Cornbread. Cornbread with maple syrup. :grin:
Non, you missed Tha fact that we are now celebrating an airplane dympna's hubby bought. Yes, it's true and not nothing, but does this mean the cake will now have calories?

Not the fake stuff.
Real maple syrup.
To me cornbread is not cake. I have a lot of real maple syrup. The people around here harvest it in 30 gallon barrels and make their own. It's great. But....cake is cake.

With hats and cakes and wine? maybe? Thank you Carleen and dymph. But this party pooper is ready to hit the sack! ;D
We are well into our party, but it seems we are partying alone in our own places, thats OK. Dymphna, well she wasn't all that fired up about her plane. But I do think she will be more excited when she flies or rides in it. And me, I was celebrating nothing. Right Non? Nothing might mean nothing. So what am I doing trying to make something out of nothing. Really gotta think this over. Munda, what say you?
Orate, in the go to bed thread we are always on the verge of bed. The parties end before the begin! G-nite Orate! Sleep well.
Just woke up and now everyone's going to bed

Well, Ches, looks more like they've gone their own way, except Orate of course, but she's a party pooper.
Of course we have to have Strawberry Angel Food Cake! I'll need to make 4 to cover everybody. You all will love this! Hubby's Great Uncle always made these angel food cakes by hand. They were awesome, and nobody in the family were ever able to reproduce them. But I've got a secret... Off to make cake!
Not enough waffles in this world to make me like syrup though. A couple of friends I grew up with (they are twins) used to love it when their Mom wasn't up to snuff and told then they could have anything. So, of course they ran for the pantry and got out the syrup and peanut butter.
This, my friends, is what happens when you are taking medications for sleep. You fall asleep at your keyboard, and wake up thinking, "Dog gonnit, a fairly nice post and here it is, not finished and thankfully not posted. Now it's finished. *sigh
Oh yeah, approaching bed time. Time to open up. Really could use a coffee table in here.

You can probably use my aunt's carved teak one. She's grown tired of it, it seems, and probably never
really liked it to begin with.
I love it, though, which is good since it'll probably be passed down to me eventually (if she doesn't get rid of it first). ;)
Though if I were in the market to
buy one, I'd go with one of these round, rustic looking ones:

Preferably with legs, and with the center crack filled with something clear. ;)
Oh thank you bird. If we could just borrow it for a while. Shell never know. Really she wont. Well use coasters. And polish it every few days. Oh it will be so good to have a coffee table.
It has a glass top. Do you have to use coasters with glass, or is it just a good habit to keep up?

Oh, no coasters needed. Thought it was just the wood.
The top is intricately carved, with glass set over it in a sort of outer border, to protect the carving and provide a usable surface. Actually, the only part
not carved is the border. And it has a set of 6 little teak stools, also carved along the sides and feet, so that people can sit around the table. We kids used to love that table when we were little, because the stools were the perfect height for us! ;D It was the "kids' table" at Thanksgiving, of course. I still sit on the stools occasionally, when we have company, but now I'm (obviously) so tall that kneeling or sitting on the floor is more comfortable when using the table itself. Every so often, my aunt pries up the glass top with a dinner knife (while we both hold our breath), to oil the wood underneath.
I wouldn't want to be the one to do that, I can tell you!

My kids would break that so fast! I have a Little Tykes picnic table that will work just fine. You can put your feet on it, sit on it, put cups/mugs/glasses....it's indestructible.
Birdie, did you see the sweet gift I got from orate? I'll get you one if you think it will help with your desire for a lamb.
Munda, why don't we use that one for the kids and whoever and the other 2 for go to bed and good morning. We can just cart little tykes to both threads if need be.

Auntie will never know. unless...we invite her. But.. thats up to bird. Anyway, it is so fun in here now. Comfy and much more refined. Even with my feet on the indestructible virtual glass table. Wow. Baileys on ice I'm digging it. Thanks Orate. Skip the coffe. Only drink the baileys, or ice.
The party pooper's off to bed. Too much Baileys, I guess.

So, what are we looking to do for Lent? Any ideas? We start getting the place all spruced up and then we have to go into Lent. Penelope's decorating thread has inspired me. We need a wall that we can build an altar on, maybe each on bring in a picture or statue of something that raises your hearts to God. A place where you can come and do a 15 minute meditation. Maybe that should be over at my place. These are just thoughts. What do you think?
I have pizza and Pinot Grigio! Time to put my feet up on the little tykes
ETA: the table, not the children! ;)

Love it! I love home altars. Mine will have a small home incense burner and a beeswax candle. Incense and candles really help keep my mind at prayer

Yes, a good and holy pòst.LENT requires a plan. This will be proper and good. Maybe we can bring in some holy pictures , statues, holy reading material we can read and bounce off one another. Get holy. Get holier during the sseason. How many completely abide by the old calender fasts and abstainance.

Are you talking about a real place in your home or some sort of SD-equivalent?
Would anyone be up for a weekly SD challenge, where we like post a saint quote, a short (!) bio of your favorite saint, a photo of a church you like, or a photo of a church you wish to visit? That's four weeks of material (weekly challenges?) right there, if we wanted to make it weekly....
If it's on Sunday, I would do my best to contribute. I usually give up all unnecessary Internet usage during Lent. I particularly like the Saint bio idea

St. Teresa of Avila and Julian of Norwich, with a little St. Therese thrown in the mix, too. There, that's my contribution. And I'm giving up dessert and internet "window-shopping."

We can each be on the opposite side of the barrier flag. We need to see who wants to do what physically and what they want to do spiritually. Maybe make up a chart .
For reading through out - I'm going to be reading Self Knowledge and Self Discipline by Fr. BW Maturin.
For reading (whether that would be personal or not)meditations - St Alphonsus de Liguori's The Passion and the Death of Jesus Christ.
And last but certainly not least - Saints for Sinners - this would be good for discussion about a saint that has inspired it.
For fasting I used to take it very seriously, then I became an insulin dependent diabetic. Now I can fast only in certain increments, if it doesn't meet certain benefits to my doctor she ignores. So, I have to eat something at least once an hour. I have to eat with this med, so that coordinates with mealtime for everybody else.
I love this idea! It can help us to help each other. The wins, just. keep. coming.
Maybe we should create a "Lent" (or "Ideas for Lent" or something) thread and copy some of the posts from here over there. Good ideas might otherwise be lost in this light "go to bed" thread, especially for those who don't follow it.
They are still good ideas, wherever they are. I just thought I was in the wrong thread for a moment!
And yes it is time for me to go to bed.
This is part of my lenten ritual as well:
Christ is ready, but only because He has too.

For those of us who have a hard time sitting down and reading books due to the lack of being able to concentrate on these things, KSMK-LP, the radio station out of St Marys might help. Besides fitting music for the season, they have all the prayers, well, let me show you;

Everyone does things differently, so they may have ideas about things that will help you get through the day. Maybe saying the rosary with other people will make you not lose your place and become frustrated or maybe listening to the conferences will make a difference for you. I have no doubt that the conferences will be extremely beneficial for our souls. No, I was not paid for that spot. I worked up there for a while and it was alot of fun.
Anyway, these were just a few ideas. 8)

Dear Carleendiane, I wish you all the best tomorrow. My God give you peace of mind and take care of your problem through hands of his doctors. I will offer my prayers and holy communion at Mass tomorrow for you.

A realistic stuffed one made out of real sheepskin would be perfect. ;D As close to real as one could get, without the inconvenience. :thumbsup:
First, try and find one. Next try and pay for it!
Ok. So every hour that passes is a step closer to monday. I am trying to get a few things in order.. not planning on bringing my own jammies. It is said to be somewhat messy and most jammies won't accommodate the tube and what not. So just clothes to arrive and clothes to leave. Even those are asked to be like loose flannels. So maybe I'll get a man pair of pants flannels. See, so much to think about and decide! This is like going on a vacation in weather unknown.
Pants!!!! But what would Jerome say

Do you get seizures while sleeping, Ches? I would think you'd be awfully tired after one of those. You're using muscles you didn't even know you had, which would drain even the last vestibules of energy in your body. Is that how it works? You will continue to be in my prayers, Ches, and I hope you start feeling better soon. Listen to your Mama Carleen, no more seizures. :cheeseheadbeer:
Opening early tonight. Going to bed early. Have to shower first with antibacterial soap, then again in morning. Just been packing and trying to be smart about what I need. Duh. Not really being very smart. But I did think ahead to get the first bills of the month set up for hubby to take care of. That was smart. No appetite. No drink tonight. Might as well hit the hay early! Unless you guys come in and entertain me. Hope full I can get this online at the hospital.

Hey, I just realized I will be in host for ash weds. Boooooo. It's too far way for my priest to come. He will be doing TLM. I am sad I'll miss it.
Guess what? I had the pleasure of meeting SaAmbrosi at mass today. What a sweet young man. He will be attending our Sunday masses and holy days! What a joy to say I have met face to face a SDer.

I really do. :grin: Those fluffy, "popcorn fleece" type, which stay softer and fluffier
so much longer than flannel, and some "brushed" fleece/short pile "fur" type...idk what the fabric is, really, but it has a "nap." Lol: Pajamas; nap. :lol:

Our SSPX priest only comes in on Sundays, so I'll miss Mass too (we'll get our ashes next Sunday).
But you definitely beat me as to penance, Carleen. Straight from God's own hands is the best kind.

I have the cutest tiny Filipino nurse, who still has a lot of accent. She is about 4 foot 8 and about 50 and her laugh lights up the room. We have already shared stories and laughs. I just want to hug her and her fly away messy hair. You would love her. Her name is Virgie.

That's one of the first books I ever remember reading from, in school. That, and something about "A Pig and a Pencil." And a series of stories that were read aloud, in which the letters were charachters, and each letter's "sound" was its dialogue. Those were particularly fun. I liked "E" the best.:P
BIRD...THANKS FOR THE PRETZEL :P

Alright ladies and germs!! Go to bed is now officially open! We can't let the place fall apart while Carleen is gone. So bring your jammies as well as your jams. Come in to chat or just say good night and God bless. 8)
You're a good woman, dymphna :). The kids want to make a human pyramid tonight, so we are gearing up for that. Then, dessert and bed. Cupcakes with strawberries and chocolate sauce. Happy Lundi Gras!
And Happy Lundi Gras to you all as well! You are going to post pictures of your human pyramid, right? Pllleeeaaassse!
We totally dropped the ball on that :-\. We were all too stuffed after dessert to try it. Maybe today! we would be lucky to get a picture....not sure if I can make that work, or not

Ha! That would be hard to do after a desert like that. :laugh: Yes, today will be better! As far as pictures go, just give the camera to your Guardian Angel and he'll take care of the rest. ;) Seriously though, don't worry about pictures. You just get in there and have a ball with your kids. That's not something you see too many parents doing these days but is of the utmost importance. Let us know how it turned out. ;) 8)

Oh dear, Oh dear, Oh dear! Carleen is going to have my head on a platter! The Go To Bed Thread is now open! Cook's and jammies, no wait, Jam and cookies and anything else you are imbibing in on this Fat Tuesday. You are all in bed now, aren't you. :skeptical: I'm in big trouble. :doh:
She gives me one job... *sigh :-[
:trainwreck:
Although, it looked like Orate did a great job!
Dymph, I don't think bird is busy at this time of nite......
bedtime! Let's just think about it. It's only 830 orate. Really. Just get your Jammie on. Dymphna has the jams. We could play virtual tag. But Ches. That super duper roadster isn't allowed. We could blow off the oldster.
So I am now on number 10, IV . My body keeps developing trouble at every site they can only use one arm, but theyou can use both feet if they have to. They are trying to avoid a more permanent method. I only need it until Sat at the most. Had a good time with my husband tonight! Found a decent charbroiled Salmon dinner. I had car broiled chicken. But, we enjoyed each others company today.was a scary day due to some trouble popups, but that's all worked out!

True. Both my sister and I had to have so many IVs when we were in the NICU, that our feet still have scars from them. We used to count them, to see who had the most. ::) I like to think that I won (can't remember after so many years, and I think she's probably over that kind of sibling competition, so there's no finding out for sure now). :lol:

I used to be IV fed. Parenteral nutrition. The nurses had to switch my arm every other day to prevent infection from developing. It was painful after a while.
Carleen,
Just popped in to say hello for the first time since your surgery. Sure good to see you with your happy spirit again! I know you are still hurting, but hopefully it is getting better and you are on the mend. (Just watch your salt intake! Don't want swollen anything)
Good night!

Ach, iv issues are no fun
Do they have an iv whisperer. Every hospital seems to have a few. Sometimes your floor nurse really thinks she knows what she's doing and then 5 punctured veins later still no "jackpot " when I still had the temporary iv, at one point they were like "we have to call in Lori" and she comes down and hits the jackpot in 60 seconds

Ha ha Ches. He was just saying he wants to meet you, Ches.
Uh oh. Can you trust him? He must know I'm a city boy and don't know the etiquette protocol for rams
I had to have an IV when I had my wisdom tooth out today, and they had to make multiple attempts. I was so stressed about it, that they gave me nitrous oxide. I wish that were an option in hospitals! It calmed me down really quickly and then they were able to get the IV in easier.

No Ches, he is not trustworthy. He has no ettiquette. I'm told that if you want to spend quality time with the ram You must wear a bright red flannel shirt and pants. Not really certain about this but I'm leaning towards true.

Hey, ches, my ram also has his red flannels! he is just adorable in them. Well, chesI have to put it straight to ya. He wants to play, "truth, or dare". I realize the game has been missused but we won't do anything bad under my guidace. Plus, rammy is getting a teensy weeny bit fat. When he charges He is not so lickety split as he used to be.you'll be safe Ches. And it's just a game. Do you have any hot dog and marshmallow skewers. We could a join the ram and cook up some dinner.

You know, if you roast the hotdogs in front of him, Ches, it might impress upon him the idea that if he gets too out of line, he could very well be next. A little...insurance. ;)

That's why I never paid much attention to my uncle's...subtle (lighthearted) encouragement in this. Thank God. Who knows
what I could have turned into. :huh:

could tell some
pret-ty good stories, if I do say so, myself. ;)
Getting ready to sleep
Tomorrow they said they had a priest who says mass to the chapel and if there are enough people interested they will bring us downstairs with a nurse
If not they said they will have him come up to give me communion/hear confession I'm still not sure about communion but maybe confess

Ches, I'm not trying to pressure you into anything (especially since if you're not "really ready," Communion could really make you even more scrupulous), but try looking at it like this: if your doctor told you that you needed a certain medicine, and you knew it was for your good, wouldn't you take it?
If you go to confession, tell the priest that you're scrupulous. It's a huge underlying factor in why you can only seem to focus on the things that you do (and why you're focusing on them without any
peace or spiritual benefit- in case someone argues that the things that you're focusing on are objectively good and thus helps to further encourage you in them)
I agree with bird, Ches. After confession, receive our Lord. Who better to help sort out what you got going in that scrupulous head of yours!
Don't go to bed yet. That would be silly unless you'really Ches, who needs sleep alot. Otherwise, just get some pj's on. Well decide where to go from there.
Done! ;) I'm wearing my favorite ones: the fleecey Eeyore ones, with the "ears" attached to the shirt (which is meant to look like a giant Eeyore face). Our neighbor gave them to me, as a surprise Christmas gift the year that my uncle died, which makes them extra-favorites. :grin: That act was so helpful to me, in forming a positive view of him.
Eyore is cool. And warm and fuzzy. One of my favorite WTP characters.

Wait, what?! An IV for wisdom teeth?? I'm so jealous! I had....nothing. I was a good 24 years old when I had all four removed, and he gave me a Rx for some Valium, "in case I needed it." I didn't fill it, because I react weird to meds, so was nervous. I thought they were going to knock me out when I got there, too. Not so much. 8 shots in the mouth later, some impacted teeth, and I could still feel it. I started crying and told him I could feel it, and he fussed at me because, "oh, come on...you're not twelve". Then gave me 4 more shots. Horrible experience. My husband had words with him after. Needless to say, I've never gone back to that guy for any dental work, whatsoever.

Yep. IV and gas (first experience with either). Getting my wisdom teeth out was one of the best things that ever happened to me (certainly the easiest mid-range medical procedure)! :grin: Haven't I told you, how I got to go home and sleep the rest of the afternoon, and when my aunt woke me up she gave me a huge bowl of chocolate ice cream, and a plate of scrambled eggs and cheese grits? How can I not love all of that, wrapped up in one package? :lol: If I could go through the whole thing again tomorrow, I'd do it in a heartbeat with absolutely no reservations whatsoever.

Getting my wisdom teeth out was one of the best things that ever happened to me (certainly the easiest mid-range medical procedure)! :grin: Haven't I told you, how I got to go home and sleep the rest of the afternoon, and when my aunt woke me up she gave me a huge bowl of chocolate ice cream, and a plate of scrambled eggs and cheese grits? How can I not love all of that, wrapped up in one package? :lol: If I could go through the whole thing again tomorrow, I'd do it in a heartbeat with absolutely no reservations whatsoever.
Oh Bird, maybe I'll go get some teeth pulled and come to your house for my recovery! You guys have any vodka?

Yes. Two bottles of Skyy in the freezer. Though I don't think it would "like" your pain meds very much.

Sure! ;) When St. Teresa's father was in his last illness, he was plagued by an excruciating pain in his shoulders; St. Teresa reminded him how devoted he had always been to the part of Our Lord's Passion in which He carried His cross. Her father was all: "Hey!
You're right!" And it helped him to bear the pain better. Better? (https://www.suscipedomine.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fisheaters.com%2Fforums%2FSmileys%2Ffishy%2Fawww.gif&hash=dbcea40e87ee3c714434d431cec0c536b8271040)

Excuse me, I'm going to but in here, that was an incredibly sweet story Bernadette. And Carleen, just because you don't have a memory of something (such as this), doesn't mean it didn't happen. You just may not remember it. That and with God not being on the same time continuum, your uniting your sufferings to Him now mean the world to Him. YOU have given Him the reason to go through His Passion. He loved you enough to do that, and now you love Him enough to give your sufferings to Him out of love for Him. Makes all the difference in the world
Nice to see you Munda!

A lovely thing to say dymph, but it seems most of the time I am just suffering. Not nearly with Him enough. But only I and God can fix that. But I will say the idea of offering it up and putting it to work for others thrills me. For most people, there is very little substancial help I can give, so to be able help in that way...well, it makes me happy.
A good nite to my lovely friends. See you in good morning!
Sweet dreams, my dear. You can really relax now, you are home. (Sorry Ches) :-[

Which you already do!!
IV during wisdom teeth extraction is pretty standard around here. Although the medicine they gave me made me really dizzy and dazed for the rest of the day. I'm on day 4, and still feeling loopy from the meds. They gave me antibiotics and Percocet. It's my daughter's 8th birthday and my husband took her to the bowling alley and the movie theater so they could have some fun and give me a little peace and quiet. Then my mom made a nice dinner and I was able to throw together a chocolate pie (which is her favorite)

i do find myself identifying with children a lot and having an easy time relating to them. when I went into the education field I always did enjoy studying what makes children "tick" how they think and learn. But having to rely on others and be in a powerless position all the time,Ithink I relate to a lot of the powerlessness they experience so much more now. idont think that most adults really consider the effect that powerlessness has on a person

Getting ready to sleep
Tomorrow they said they had a priest who says mass to the chapel and if there are enough people interested they will bring us downstairs with a nurse
If not they said they will have him come up to give me communion/hear confession I'm still not sure about communion but maybe confess
Ches, I'm not trying to pressure you into anything (especially since if you're not "really ready," Communion could really make you even more scrupulous), but try looking at it like this: if your doctor told you that you needed a certain medicine, and you knew it was for your good, wouldn't you take it? If you go to confession, tell the priest that you're scrupulous. It's a huge underlying factor in why you can only seem to focus on the things that you do (and why you're focusing on them without any peace or spiritual benefit- in case someone argues that the things that you're focusing on are objectively good and thus helps to further encourage you in them)
i know I went toa confession and I know a priet came,but I am making myself crazy because I don't remember what he said to me in confession i do remember talkingwith him abotusome of the issues.. I do remember he was helpful, I just dont remmber exatly HOW hewas helpful!!!
nurses didnt want me to take me off the unit at this point. too complicated. i did spend most of the day out of bed though. cant say that about most days. really tired though i think sometimes being out of bed and moving around is a lot for my brain to handle...i get really overstimulated. they have a "multi sensory environment' room that i have used a few times and it is like a dark room,with all these various sensory therapy activities...they have fiber optic wires in diferentcolors,a switch you control with your handthat projects lights, a switch that controls ambient sounds, the bed they lie you on vibrates which is a little weird but also kind of soothing
there is a thing with bubbles tht go up and down.likean aquarium. i am a bit hypersensitive to stuff like noise/sound/texture but i guessthe therapists know that and do it so that you arent overwhelmed. I went inthere today with the OT and was very soothing I ended up falling asleep.
theysay with neurological isses or after a brain injury your brain loses the ability to "filter" sounds/signt/stimuation from the environment..
Thank God your memory is not needed to be at full speed to have a proper confession. But, I know, frustrating for you. Yes, I am learning about dependance. It is hard for me too as I am a martha. But my dependence is short term while yours is not. OK Ches, offering up, and praying your burdens lighten in one way or another. Ax far as understanding children, though I had no classes, much of it came quite naturally. From God I'm sure. Which is good, because I had a child 9 months after I married. Plus, I was still just a teenager. Maybe I had a lot of memory yet about what it's like to be a child.
now the plan is forme to be here until Friday.
they have a nap time here. ifyou dont rest, will be tired later and not able to do afternoon therapy
i sometimes resent the structure and schedule, feels like they treat me like a little kid. But I guess monks dont sleep when they want to either necessarily
my mom has a meeting with my nurse and therapists and they scheduled itduring the rest time,so haveto choose between being awake for that,and resting. my mom said,just rest and let other people take care of things
i think about how our lord asks us to be like little children...they dont always know what goes into their own care. even students at school,they dont know how many hours their teacher plans their lessons out,and how muchtime goes into planning activities for them... how much timetheir parents put into figuring outhow the day will be structured, who's going to pick them up from daycare,and take them to the pediatrician
so much of the behaviors parents tend to complain about....crying, outbursts, tantrums, sulky teenagers...all tend to stem from how difficult it is to not be in control of your life--the tension between wanting to do things yourself, and not being there yet.
at the same time, sometimes children find comfort in having their needs met and they trust theur parents to meet their needs. When my older son was 2, he used to kick and fight during diaper changes but most of the time he was good. He used to go up to my wife and say "can i have a diaper change" with no shame... He knew his place in the world and that he needed help, and in meeting his needs, he knew we loved him.
ithe more time that goes by,the more dizzying it is to eventhink about what goes into my daily care, i dont even know what meds i'm on at least not ALL of them... blood pressure monitoring, blood sugar, digestive stuff, my vent, etc. its more complicated than i can even mentally handle right now I wish i had an easier time just accepting that. And when people try to help it is so easy to look at them like they are adversaries.
over time i feel indebted to my caregivers especiallysince it is hard to imagine what "return on investment"they are getting. in corinthians 13 reads, "love does not keep a record of wrongs" but i find myself keeping a record of rights...and it is difficult to see everyone around you give so much and not be able to give them anything in return. at the same time children dont alwys think about the "burden" they are on us. when babies cry at 3am, they dont think about the fact that everyone in the house is sleeping. Toddlers don't care if you wanted to have a quiet afternoon reading a book. Little people have big needs and in some ways,they are egocentric about them, they dont care about the toll their needs take on other people. As a child growing up with a lot of special medical needs I don't think I ever considered what it was like for my parents. i had poor gross motor coordination at 2 and 3 and had to be carried everywhere, also used a wheelchair for trips because i didnt have much energy,plus i was ondialysis and had a feeding tube..the burden and expense never crossed my mind.
but now these things are on my mind a lot, how much toll this takes on my family emotionally, financially, etc. i think about the toll it takes on my son,and our newest addition. i feel like i am always mourning the loss of control over my life, and unless there is a miracle, I will not have that control ever again. It isn't coming back. sometimes i wish it were possible to let go of control, and not care so much about the fact that other people are responsible for my care.
when i first started gettinghelp with breathing via the biPAP my instinct was to fight it. took awhile to set things up so that it was giving me just the right "push" of air without triggering any fight or flight responses. hard to explain. now goingthrough respiratory failure and relyingmore and more on the vent, it is a continuous process just figuring out exactly how much breathing support to give. whenever I fight the vent, it's exhausting and futile,and just leads to me being dizzy and worn out. at the sametme, it is such a relief to not haveto breathe on my own
i think as a grown man,thereis this pressure to be independent, self sufficient, in control, powerful,strong, whereas what my mind seems to really need is to acknowledge that I am not any of these things
Quotei think about how our lord asks us to be like little children...they dont always know what goes into their own care.

Well, no. :lol: But she
was ordered to eat red meat for a month (Carmelites abstain all the time, unless ordered meat for health reasons). And this particularly nasty canned milk, during her last illness. :-\ And she offered it up heroically. :thumbsup: Night, night, Ches. ;)
No, you haven't much to give physically Ches. And you're right about the general expectations society has for your AVERAGE 34 yr old man. What you say is true. Remember the joke about man colds. I think men act so miserable, not always, but sometimes because when sick they are in a position of need. They are not up to the tasks normally assigned to them. In your case everything is reversed . Because you are a man who thinks like a man your struggle is with those man instincts. They don't leave just because you get sick. They are there EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. Doped up or not. There they are. Man instincts. So what is required of you is completely against your DNA.
To be as a child is your only refuge. I wonder if the Lord didn't have the incapacitated in mind when we were exhorted to be as a child before God. Be small. Be tended to. Be trusting. Love your caregivers. A more perfect turning over of the will, I've never seen. So an argument happens. A momentary lack of appreciation, and gratitude. Out of frustration, somewhat childlike or selfish behavior occurs. A burden for the caregiver, but as a parent towards a child, a burden carried with love and rewarding because parents have to rise above their own preferences or desires to properly take care of this child they love. So who cares if you say or do something less than noble. That's what confession is for while you live your completely reversed role for a man
And you are a man, ches. So God has given us a perfect example of how He can sustain us in whatever role He has for us. You bring color and joy and sarcasm and intelligence to this forum. I thank God for you. And I never ever forget how you have struggled to keep the faith and your dark night of the soul your pain filled life has forced you to experienced.
Opening up. Tonight is here. Beginning to get dark. Getting tired. Husband helped me make dinner. Made enough for days. Glad mine do not mind leftovers!

I do; my stomach right now, not so much. :-\ But all the better: it's Lent, and since I'm so bad at exercising self-restraint where food (or really,
anything that I love) is concerned, God found a way to do it for me. ;)

my mom has a meeting with my nurse and therapists and they scheduled itduring the rest time,so haveto choose between being awake for that,and resting. my mom said,just rest and let other people take care of things
i think about how our lord asks us to be like little children...they dont always know what goes into their own care. even students at school,they dont know how many hours their teacher plans their lessons out,and how muchtime goes into planning activities for them... how much timetheir parents put into figuring outhow the day will be structured, who's going to pick them up from daycare,and take them to the pediatrician
so much of the behaviors parents tend to complain about....crying, outbursts, tantrums, sulky teenagers...all tend to stem from how difficult it is to not be in control of your life--the tension between wanting to do things yourself, and not being there yet.
at the same time, sometimes children find comfort in having their needs met and they trust theur parents to meet their needs. When my older son was 2, he used to kick and fight during diaper changes but most of the time he was good. He used to go up to my wife and say "can i have a diaper change" with no shame... He knew his place in the world and that he needed help, and in meeting his needs, he knew we loved him.
ithe more time that goes by,the more dizzying it is to eventhink about what goes into my daily care, i dont even know what meds i'm on at least not ALL of them... blood pressure monitoring, blood sugar, digestive stuff, my vent, etc. its more complicated than i can even mentally handle right now I wish i had an easier time just accepting that. And when people try to help it is so easy to look at them like they are adversaries.
over time i feel indebted to my caregivers especiallysince it is hard to imagine what "return on investment"they are getting. in corinthians 13 reads, "love does not keep a record of wrongs" but i find myself keeping a record of rights...and it is difficult to see everyone around you give so much and not be able to give them anything in return. at the same time children dont alwys think about the "burden" they are on us. when babies cry at 3am, they dont think about the fact that everyone in the house is sleeping. Toddlers don't care if you wanted to have a quiet afternoon reading a book. Little people have big needs and in some ways,they are egocentric about them, they dont care about the toll their needs take on other people. As a child growing up with a lot of special medical needs I don't think I ever considered what it was like for my parents. i had poor gross motor coordination at 2 and 3 and had to be carried everywhere, also used a wheelchair for trips because i didnt have much energy,plus i was ondialysis and had a feeding tube..the burden and expense never crossed my mind.
but now these things are on my mind a lot, how much toll this takes on my family emotionally, financially, etc. i think about the toll it takes on my son,and our newest addition. i feel like i am always mourning the loss of control over my life, and unless there is a miracle, I will not have that control ever again. It isn't coming back. sometimes i wish it were possible to let go of control, and not care so much about the fact that other people are responsible for my care.
when i first started gettinghelp with breathing via the biPAP my instinct was to fight it. took awhile to set things up so that it was giving me just the right "push" of air without triggering any fight or flight responses. hard to explain. now goingthrough respiratory failure and relyingmore and more on the vent, it is a continuous process just figuring out exactly how much breathing support to give. whenever I fight the vent, it's exhausting and futile,and just leads to me being dizzy and worn out. at the sametme, it is such a relief to not haveto breathe on my own
i think as a grown man,thereis this pressure to be independent, self sufficient, in control, powerful,strong, whereas what my mind seems to really need is to acknowledge that I am not any of these things
I would absolutely love it if someone told me to take a nap!! That sounds awesome.

No, you haven't much to give physically Ches. And you're right about the general expectations society has for your AVERAGE 34 yr old man. What you say is true. Remember the joke about man colds. I think men act so miserable, not always, but sometimes because when sick they are in a position of need. They are not up to the tasks normally assigned to them. In your case everything is reversed . Because you are a man who thinks like a man your struggle is with those man instincts. They don't leave just because you get sick. They are there EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. Doped up or not. There they are. Man instincts. So what is required of you is completely against your DNA.
To be as a child is your only refuge. I wonder if the Lord didn't have the incapacitated in mind when we were exhorted to be as a child before God. Be small. Be tended to. Be trusting. Love your caregivers. A more perfect turning over of the will, I've never seen. So an argument happens. A momentary lack of appreciation, and gratitude. Out of frustration, somewhat childlike or selfish behavior occurs. A burden for the caregiver, but as a parent towards a child, a burden carried with love and rewarding because parents have to rise above their own preferences or desires to properly take care of this child they love. So who cares if you say or do something less than noble. That's what confession is for while you live your completely reversed role for a man
And you are a man, ches. So God has given us a perfect example of how He can sustain us in whatever role He has for us. You bring color and joy and sarcasm and intelligence to this forum. I thank God for you. And I never ever forget how you have struggled to keep the faith and your dark night of the soul your pain filled life has forced you to experienced.
lol, ithink that a lot of other posterswould disagreewith you about how iring intelligence tothis forum haha
itsjust frstratingbecause it seems likesomething im imcreasingly unable to repay or even understand
just the process by which mywife handles everything at home...thefinances,thelogistics of everthing, making sure nurses know what they are doing. idont even know what my own needs are sometimes
i guess in monasteries monks and nuns find peace in doingthings accordingto the wa y th e y are expected by their superior... sleeping at the designated time, praying at the designated time. but of course idont want to see m y wife andcaregivers s "superiors"
notbeing abletodo what traditionallycatholic husbandstraditioally do ,iworry that my family is all goingto hell and its all my fault. part of me wouldreally like to just finally relax,though,and just accept the way things are
thhey changed the rate for my vent at night so my breathing pattern is different. seem to be tolerating it OK but it does more of the work. i wasdizzy before, but not dizzy now. they k now what theyredoing
started to panic whenever they disconnect me for short periods,which wasntthe case before. they havetodo suction every few hours and ifreak out whn they take my air off
You will not bring your family to hell. Doesn't work that way. And you'really not so special that he has a separate salvation process just for you. 8)
Out of curiosity Ches, what is it that traditional Catholic Husbands do that you wish you could? Aside from going out and trying to get good jobs to take care of their families (and a case could be made that not every single Husband is striving for that) and maybe trying to make sure they live in an area that has the TLM, I'm not sure what exactly it is that you are missing out on other than an ideal you have. And if I thought for a minute that my Dad or my Husband were responsible for whether or not I go to hell, well, I don't know what I would do. Some people would slack off because, hey, why should I worry about it? But I think I would be pushing them to do the right things.
I can't imagine how frustrating it would be to think that if your body would cooperate, you would live a certain way, only to know that your body doesn't cooperate, so you can't. It's not even about it being a choice. The closest I can even come to imagining it, would be like me wanting to be young again (God forbid!). I was young once, so I know what it was like. I didn't have to worry about taking medication, I didn't have high blood pressure, I didn't have a home to worry about, or any other worries for that matter. But I'm not young anymore and no matter what I do, that's not going to change. Would that, times 1,000 come close? Some things just have to be accepted. You will make yourself and those around you miserable if you don't. And for what reason? For something you can't do anything about.
"itsjust frstratingbecause it seems likesomething im imcreasingly unable to repay or even understand" Is this because of medication you are taking or an affect from the disease?

I'm so proud of myself: managed to eat a

Proud of you bird! Nope I usually do not hold them right away bird. Some mama's are quite touchy about that. But there is nothing I want to do more on birthing days!
Bird, orate, nòn, christina, jayne, Ches, martin, dymph, all.....going to bed early. Seems the only comfort is in my sleeping posture. Going in an hour, once my med kick in. There I can find sleep. BUT despite lack of comfort, I am happy and find plenty to laugh at. Can't wait to go to barn tomorrow and see if I have a new lamb. Love this season.

I can't tell you: better to listen and enjoy it as it was meant to be (like with Shakespeare :lol:). Kipling originally told these stories to his little girl: that's why they're so very read-aloud-able. ;) The link goes directly to a streamable audio track (from Librivox: one of my favorite narrators, especially for children's literature). All I
can tell you, is that the camel was most '
scruciating idle. :P
And emojis were invented to convey emotion in writing, so I consider them a sort of punctuation, if you will. Glad to hear that I use them effectively! :toth:
Well, I just may have to give that a listen tomorrow.I loved lewis's "A Horse and His Boy". I probably do not need to ask if you've read this. ;)
I loved Prince Caspian, best. :) Though I do go back and read all of them every so often. I love the different tones in each of them.

Yes! He

Yah know what? That ram looks just like my ram, though my ram has a more majestic rack of horns. I do believe that is a Jacob ram, which is an heritage breed. Just like mine! The heritage breeds are a much older and hearty breed. The heritage breeds are not necessarily the biggest but they are the heartiest. The ewes have a lot less trouble birthing, and they usually twin or tripple, even quad birth. Mine have only had twin.

Do you think your ram's older? (Would that make a difference?) Or are they just overall shaped differently than the video ram's? Awww. I bet their babies are really cute, too.

I really don't know, lydia. He might be. Or not. Horn type or quality seems hereditary because his little rammies have wonderfully well developed horns at less than a year old. So,... :shrug:

Woke up early with no way to change position to relieve ribless pain. So gave in and took pills out of time. Not supposed to take first dose until 8.

"itsjust frstratingbecause it seems likesomething im imcreasingly unable to repay or even understand" Is this because of medication you are taking or an affect from the disease?
probably the disease itself
traditional role for catholic hhusbands is to provide and protect, i can do neither. so it's like...why even exist. what is the point of being.
I guess, it is God who is the author of lifeand chooses to animate our bodies,and has the power to heal and so on,so i always wonder...why would He want me to be stuck in my apartment all the time hanging out with medical professionals and not doing a whole lot. likewhy would he specifically not want me to go to mass,or be able to spend time in His eucharistic presence,or be able to work, and do things. just doesnt make sense to me. I'm sureit makes sense to HIm but i certainly havent figured it out. It is just difficult to accept, unfortunately.
people talkabout how horrible it is that women go to work, and how horrible it is to send your child to public school, not having a large family,and all that.. but these are the circumstances god gave us,but in a culture that places so much emphasis on the "right" division of labor in the home and the "right" type of family structure,providing for your family, weight lifting and so on. just difficult to accept that we will never be what most people think of as a "good catholic family" no matter how hard we may try. just have a lot of guilt for everything. a lot of it is not in my control but then i wonder,how much of it is and i am just making excuses.

Yup, I'd say that is good news. Funny, one thing about your stomach is having to "force" yourself to eat. I had the same thing where I had to make my self eat. that doesn't happen very often with me.

I took a delicious nap after a not-delicious Mass; then had a snack; then caught up on correspondence; then tried to take a bath, but our water heater only gets the water "hot" these days, and I require "VERY hot," in order to feel that the bath has been a success (and thus worth the trouble). Then I did some cleaning, in preparation for our house showing tomorrow; then I ate dinner; then I put fresh sheets on the bed ( ;D); then I talked to a good friend on the phone, while enjoying my fresh sheets; then I ate cookies, and now here I am, ready to indulge in a little forum time before listening to my "main man": Sherlock. :grin:

Open now! Come on in. Tell mama about your day. She's ready and willing to listen to your stories.
:grin: May you never regret saying those words, Carleen. ;)
I took a delicious nap after a not-delicious Mass; then had a snack; then caught up on correspondence; then tried to take a bath, but our water heater only gets the water "hot" these days, and I require "VERY hot," in order to feel that the bath has been a success (and thus worth the trouble). Then I did some cleaning, in preparation for our house showing tomorrow; then I ate dinner; then I put fresh sheets on the bed ( ;D); then I talked to a good friend on the phone, while enjoying my fresh sheets; then I ate cookies, and now here I am, ready to indulge in a little forum time before listening to my "main man": Sherlock. :grin:
What'd you do?
You win. I did nothing of interest, bird.

Yes, there is. And prayer. Glad I'm getting to know you, bird. Never met anyone quite like you. Seems like people like me are a dime a dozen. But people like you must be rare, since I really have not met anyone in could compare to you. Thanks for being my online friend, bird.
Dymphna, Jayne has you looking HOT on your motorcycle. Should I report her? I mean, you do not wear those clothes riding do you? Well, if you do I may have to report you. 8)

Oh my! Well, let's see; Harley boots - check, jeans - check, shirt - check, leather jacket - check (except mine is pink and black and has corset ties on the sides), helmet - um, heck no
4 out of 5 is pretty good! Thank you, Jayne. :toth: Get to reporting me, Carleen! :lol:
Can I...Can I open? :P Both in one day?! ;D
I'm playing fetch with my cat, as I type this. She has a special catnip mouse that she likes to bring to me, every so often, so that I know she's ready for a game. She really is the perfect cat. :)

Dymphna, please wear a helmet. Don't suppose I could coax you into this, could i?
Going. Going. Gone. G nite all.
Opening up here! Come on in to decompress, complain, whatever. We'really open!
I'm making a fabulous cup of tea as we speak, and will enjoy it with tiny Italian cookies. Nothing to complain about here. 8) Plus, we had a surprise house-showing today (less nerve-wracking than the advance-notice ones), which was encouraging. And the Harry and David pears showed up, and my aunt loved them! ;D
Yes Bernadette, I'd call this a good day. Italian cookies, huh? I would sure enjoy a few cookies. I have no sort of sweet around here. Is that a complaint? So be it! It's true. Sometimes I do crave a sweet, just about anything would do. When I say there is nothing, I mean nothing!
It would probably be better for me, if there were nothing. :huh: But I find that rationing of sweets brings better results in the long run, than absolute abstinence.
I am the type to overindulge, then go without for quite a while. When I say overindulge I mean the presence of whatever sweet is in my house, calls to me regularly until the sweet is gone. Sad, I know. Not proud of this. Better off with nothing. Actually I'd be better off to just regulate my appetite. I love apple pie. Love it. An apple pie might last 3 days because I will pick at it until it's gone. I have a long way to go in the area of temperance. Self control is high on my list of area of growth. Flavors mean too much to me.
By rationing, I mean someone else needs to do the rationing. :lol: It's why I did so well with the food situation in the monastery when I spent the month there: I didn't even think about the food, until it was in front of me. :lol: Knowing that I can go and have some of whatever, whenever I want (because I'm an adult now, after all), is definitely prone to lead to overindulgence. :-\
Yes in the monastery I would be just fine. But I am not in a monastery. That is my problem. :'(
I am tired tonight. Just because, I guess. Not really sure why. It's not like I worked my butt off. So I'll be turning in soon. I will be one with my bed and stay that way for 10 hours for sure. So many nights I turn in early and sleep late. Maybe I would not do so well in a monastery! I would need someone bigger than me to come drag me out of bed. Sleep is precious to me right now. I sleep during the day for an hour or two, then sleep all night. Hubby gets up, and makes my coffee, and just waits for me to decide to roll out of bed. Sometimes I can sense he's waiting and I'll get a little irritated. Poor hubby. But, sometimes my dog gets very impatient with me and paws at me to get up. It's so cute, I have to pet him. Then I am awake and ready for my coffee. I have a slice of toast to go with my morning pills which hubby has made for me too, not the pills, but the toast. I am well cared for. Thanks God!
OK, there is some sort of emergency vehicle at the NA house 3 houses down on the corner. No biggie, that happens often. But now there is a helicopter circling the area. The last time there was a circling helicopter, a druggie killed 2 cops (one of which I had worked with at the prison >:( ) lived about 3 blocks from here but was holed up in a house 2 blocks over. I spent most of that night not knowing what was going on but had the shotgun right here next to my S&W .40. Both cocked and ready to go. Hubby is sleeping now and I don't have the shotgun out yet. It's going to be a while before I go to sleep. We'll see how things progress.

Oh, stay safe my friend! I'd be watching to see what transpires. Be subtle dymph. Don't go stand on the porch with your shotgun cradled in your arms! Justvjoking. You have way more say than I in these situations, but I have sent my angel to protect you and Alan. Be careful, my Lil tuffy.

You are so sweet. The First Responders have now left. I only see the 3 police cars, don't know if there are any more on the side I can't see. If Hubby wasn't home and the helicopter wasn't flying in circling above my house, I'd be down there snooping around. But he is and they still are, so I'm staying put. He'd be seriously ticked if I went out there and didn't wake him up. Not that he would go out there, but I'm not going. For now. My head is starting to pound so we'll see how long I last with all of this. Prayers and sacrifices that everyone is safe. +++
OK so maybe this is a bit early and maybe I just want to get a jump on good night. But really, is that necessary? I mean really. Besides I have opened up this early before, haven't I ? Anyway, open for business. Bring in those weary feet. Those migraine heads. Those sore hands. Those snotty children. Those misbehaving puppies.
I see you dymphna.
Today was a good day: got some important phone calls taken care of, did a load of towels, completed everything on my morning checklist, found the Precious, ate delicious ramen, listed stuff on eBay to fund the Precious. And the cat snuggled with me last night and this morning. Nothing bad in the slightest. :)

I know. It was not so smart, but I didn't wreck anything. It just hurts more. BUT the bread is wonderful, if I may say so myself!
See you, dymphna. Again.
Love you my peeps. Tired. I just may....go to bed. Good nite. I am a complete bore tonight.
sometimes it just feels good to do something "functional" and normal (for you) even if you have to recover for days afterwards
But I'm a worrier, Ches, especially when something involves people I love. I can't really...turn it off without serious effort. :-\

This is true, but if you reinjure yourself, it's not just you that has to pay the price. My Dad was of the mind that the sooner you could get back to normal the better. So he refused to wear the leg braces he was supposed to wear after he had his knees replaced (yes, both at the same time). I can't tell you how many times I had to pick him up off the floor. He ended up having to have one of them redone. He did the same thing after he had surgery on his shoulder to repair a torn rotator cuff. Slings were for sissy's. You suck up the pain and power through. So you have to have the surgery again and when you mess that one up, you don't heal right and are in pain with it for the rest of your life. And everyone who loves you has to suck it up and live with you being in pain for the rest of your life. No big whoop, right?
Just one question, does the pain you cause yourself have as much value when you offer if up as the original pain did? And I'm not talking about things like the saints wearing hair shirts or flagellating themselves. Nor am I talking about you, Miss Carleen, so please don't take all this as being aimed at you. Ches's statement just brought my Dad to mind.

Yes. That's it Ches. Just the normal is what I wanted. Still don't think I caused damage. Dymph, I am not like dad. I hate going backwards. I am more careful than that. Even if I did do a bit much. I will be careful. Not worth the psin. Yes it was. It was. We now have 8 loaves of great bread. Plus it was just so useful. Ches knows.
See, I knew you were going to think that was about you, Carleen. It really wasn't. Did you need someone to come in and do the things you were doing before over exerting yourself yesterday? I don't think so. My Dad was an extreme case and I know that. I've just always wondered about offering up pain you caused yourself like he did. Your situation may have brought the question back up for me but I was not referring to you specifically, dearheart. I would have been shocked if you had done that.
Quote from: dymphna17 on March 16, 2017, 07:35:51 AM
I've just always wondered about offering up pain you caused yourself like he did.
I can't think why you couldn't. Plus, you'd have all of the...cringe-factor of
knowing that you did it to yourself. Very humbling, potentially very helpful in the spiritual life, as well as the mundane. But I'm of the opinion that the pain would indeed be "worth" more, if one actually put it to good use and
learned from it. Like Carleen did. ;) Just a thought.
for the past few years, I could not play piano without major pain and exhaustion felt like my hands were on fire. sometimes i would get so wrapped up in the music that I would sort of dissociate from the pain but usuallycouldnt playfor too long,and my repertoire got more and more limited
thenfor awhile I would do piano time with myson starting when he was very little, started teaching him at 3he usedto love sitting on my lap and watching me play and adding his own "interpretation" but much of the time he would just sit there watching me then sometimes i would playthings and he would mimc what i played... also we play a lot of piano music aroundthe house, which is what we encourage with suzuki method
got to the point where doing that used to wear me out, when it happened it was special and then at the end my hands were on fire and couldt barely move them now it is at the pointwhere i cant teach him or play much of anything and he has lessons with someone else
Hard not being able to give this little guy what I was able to give my first son a bit sad that i cant do this with my younger son,but my older one is progressing very well in his lessons so at least he will grow up watching his older brother play.
Yes Ches, despite the fire, every moment was worth it. Older son will not forget dad at piano, and younger son will be blessed by the time you spent with older son, whether he knows it or not. That memory for older is worth the pain you caused for yourself. I know diassociation. Happens easily for me when I am having an especially sweet moment with the grandkids. I can rock and rock a baby. Doesn't matter what part of my body is barking at me. I just sing the louder or rock harder. Pain just can't rise above a particularly sweet moment.
Really. Open this dang thing up! Well, because I said so. It's time! Yep. Come on in. How was yer day?
So......Bird, Dymphna, Non, and all, what did you do today? Orate? Ches? How was your day? Mine was tiring but delightful. Grandkids had so much to tell me! And daughter and son bought me a whole beautiful set of dishes? No cheesy motif, no chips, no missing pieces. Really, what am I gonna do with these beauties?
Nite my friends? See you for coffee, or tea if you must ;)
You all have such amazing families. Ches, you may have given the oldest son the physical gift of music, but your youngest son will have the gift of coming from a musical family. Your talent will be passed on, if for no other reason than you making sure of it. You will make sure he has lessons as well and his talent, if he has any, and how could he not? Look who's son he is? He will be given the gift of a musical family. That's not something that happens in every family. I'm not being as eloquent as I would like to be right now, but I hope you get my drift Ches.
Yes, Sweet Carleen, I'm here. I swear I've not been drinking. Just feeling very sentimental with this migraine. I sure wish I could put this to some kind of good use. But they have changed over from the hammer to the very lovely sledge hammer. This has only taken 2 hours to typel. Imagine what I could do in 3! Good night all, sweet dreams, God bless, and the Angels keep you. :pray3:

and butter. :thumbsup: They're pretty much the only thing that I can bake these days, and not be nervous that they're going to do something... unexpected. :lol:

And what beautiful sentiment Dymphna. Yes, Ches will leave a legacy for his family to savor. So will my husband. If it weren't for him I'm not sure I could have cultivated musical and artistic talent. We were not able to provide lessons in these efforts, but God, and husband, always allowed a large part of our lives to be steeped in the development of these talents. And the end product somehow turned out to be professional level. In music, singing, portrait drawing, graphic art, writing music, directing music, mostly sacred, but some secular, just so much talent that could have gone to the wayside, but didnt, by the grace of God and a brilliant husband who knew what to encourage and how to encourage it.
Those nasty nasties are back, huh? Well my prayers for your stupid head Dymphna. I went through tremendous digestive and elimination problems, and referred to my stomach as my stupid stomach. So now I call your head your stupid head. No insult intended, dymph. Now go fix that stupid head of yours. ;)
Edit to include: I have no wish to brag, it's just that I am mystified and amazed what God can do with us. Really, you just can't make these things happen. Well, at least I cant. :)

I am more than likely going to have scones, jam, and tea when I get home from work. Edwardian Farm would be a bonus. Actually most likely will be Irish music for awhile and then Edwardian Farm.
I'm making scones right now! :grin: Recipe makes 8 but I made 6 huge ones, instead. And oh-so-soon, I will be enjoying a fresh one with a cup of cocoa. :P
Oh yum. I wish we were neighbors.
By the way my very precious peeps, we are open for business. Tips for the thread moderator allowed.
Ok, I retract my mention of tips. I will work for free, I will. Totally free!
Momoko and I are enjoying a scone: she "invited herself" and is eating the crumbs. ::) Must be true about cats liking butter! I added extra chocolate chips (go big or go home) and kept them in the oven an extra minute or so, to make them crunchy on the outside. :thumbsup:

Thank you orate. That's a lovely good night. So good night my friend.
Still awake making a sheet cake, a lamb cake, and PokePuffs. The sheet cake and lamb cake are for our church's St. Joseph's table and the PokePuff cupcakes are for my daughter's Pokemon themed birthday party tomorrow. I got absolutely nothing done because both kids were so eager to "help" and I felt guilty not letting them help so I tried giving them opportunities to help when possible, which delayed the whole process significantly

You're a good woman, jubilate. It's late, you're tired, yet there you are baking and its after 10:30. That's dedication. God bless your effort. For church AND daughters birthday. Hope it all turns out perfect for you. Some of my worst outcomes happen when I'm tired, but then, you are a baker. You can probably do this in your sleep. :)
G-nite all. I'm done. Until tomorrow!
Awww, lamb cake! ;D How'd you make the "wool"?
Good night, all. May St. Patrick watch over us as we sleep. I hope I dream of his fortitude. How adventurous!
One more day until St. Joseph's feast!
Went to Friday Pre-Sanctified Liturgy at a local Byzantine Church. Beautiful. I especially like the exquisite singing of " Let my prayer arise like incense before You, and the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice" (part of Psalm 140). Had delicious soup in hall afterwards.
Now I'm up too late...

I'm leaving the PokePuff toppings until my daughter wakes up in the morning--she was DYING to put the toppings on. The Bible is looking a little tacky, but by that point, I was so tired and ready to fall over so I just tried to finish it as fast as I could.
That lamb looks so adorable! And so pleasantly cuddly, too! ;D
Jubilation those are lovely baked goods, but you know the lamb takes the cake ;)
Those are beautiful, Jubilate.

Well of course, besides what else you gonna do? Like I said, too early for bed.
Good night friends. May God bless your sleep and you wake up refreshed and well.
Shall we open up? Ok. Done. Open for business.
I'd kind of like to go to bed...for a few hours, at least.

I'm heading upstairs in about 15 minutes... Read for 30 minutes, prayers, then lights out. The high point of my day. :D

I must join the SD Tea club.
We have scones, you know: blackcurrant, cranberry, or orange-chocolate chip. White or milk chocolate, your choice. But not cream scones: cream and butter. :thumbsup: They're pretty much the only thing that I can bake these days, and not be nervous that they're going to do something... unexpected. :lol:
I want a cream tea party. Actually, just want to move to England for their tea. And scones. And clotted cream.
I just want to say..... clotted cream :swoon2:

You all have such amazing families. Ches, you may have given the oldest son the physical gift of music, but your youngest son will have the gift of coming from a musical family. Your talent will be passed on, if for no other reason than you making sure of it. You will make sure he has lessons as well and his talent, if he has any, and how could he not? Look who's son he is? He will be given the gift of a musical family. That's not something that happens in every family. I'm not being as eloquent as I would like to be right now, but I hope you get my drift Ches.
Yes, Sweet Carleen, I'm here. I swear I've not been drinking. Just feeling very sentimental with this migraine. I sure wish I could put this to some kind of good use. But they have changed over from the hammer to the very lovely sledge hammer. This has only taken 2 hours to typel. Imagine what I could do in 3! Good night all, sweet dreams, God bless, and the Angels keep you. :pray3:
And what beautiful sentiment Dymphna. Yes, Ches will leave a legacy for his family to savor. So will my husband. If it weren't for him I'm not sure I could have cultivated musical and artistic talent. We were not able to provide lessons in these efforts, but God, and husband, always allowed a large part of our lives to be steeped in the development of these talents. And the end product somehow turned out to be professional level. In music, singing, portrait drawing, graphic art, writing music, directing music, mostly sacred, but some secular, just so much talent that could have gone to the wayside, but didnt, by the grace of God and a brilliant husband who knew what to encourage and how to encourage it.
Those nasty nasties are back, huh? Well my prayers for your stupid head Dymphna. I went through tremendous digestive and elimination problems, and referred to my stomach as my stupid stomach. So now I call your head your stupid head. No insult intended, dymph. Now go fix that stupid head of yours. ;)
Edit to include: I have no wish to brag, it's just that I am mystified and amazed what God can do with us. Really, you just can't make these things happen. Well, at least I cant. :)
thatdoes sound like quite the miracle. music is truly a gift...he can give it, and he can take it away i guess
it is interesting... i have a friend with advanced muscular dystrophyshe is on a vent like me, and has lost control of nearly all of her muscles. She has known about her illness ever since she was a little kid and it has always been on her mind. even at 8, or 10, she knew that eventually she'd be in a wheelchair. so she didn't get too into sports because she knew that she would never really get a chance to grow and develop her atheletic abilities. She never took ballet lessons because she didn't want to fall in love with ballet and then lose it. She focused her energies on math because she knew that her brain wouldn't be affected and it doesn't take any physical abilities to do math. so she ended up getting her masters degree in math and also computer science and still is able to do a bit of programming work.
whereas when i was a kid, i was blissfully ignorant of what was ahead. I focused a lot of my energy on piano for many many years. when i lost my ability to play guitar, i said "well at least i can play piano" and that was true for awhile....until it wasnt. it seems like all the hours of praciticng, recitals, juries, getting certified in suzuki method, ABRSM exams...it is a mystery to me why God provided me with these things and then took it away right as i had finally established my career. would i have done all that if i knew that by my mid 30s i wouldnt even be able to play anymore? i dont know. he could have given me that foreknowledge but He didnt
But Ches, you now understand what is just mystery to me...music. it is like physics and chemistry. Just a mystery. You understand musical theory. Not me. I have an excellent ear that can pick out a wrong note. That's it. Please don't think I don't appreciate the loss of making music. That is like losing a loved one, almost.
Ok. Time to open and party a nice subdued party. Wine for those who have not given it up. Beer for Laus, if he would just stop in. It's cold and his favorite kind. Red white and blue.
Well, my bread turned out tasty and pleasantly light and springy, but I miss the wheat-y taste of "real wheat" flour; the store only had "white wheat" in my aunt's preferred brand, and it just doesn't taste the same. :shrug: Good news is, the recipe only made two loaves, so I'll be able to experiment with it soon, and see why it "does what it does," by careful substitution of ingredients. For science! :pigeons:

Yes, for science. I can't remember the last time I used a recipe for bread. There is not one I would actually follow. I modify all recipes whether for soups or casseroles or what ever. Ricipes launched me but as soon as I got the basics user my belt I flew solo. Once you understand the chemistry or interaction of ingredients, you can soar. You can take a so so recipe and modify until it's a special and favorite dish. But unless you understand the basics you're probably better off following recipes. Unless you understand which spices are complimentary to one another and which are not, use a recipe.
Going to bed early. Maybe I will actually get up early? It could happen!
Oops for got to open up....if only to say goodnite. Not yet, in an hour or so.

I'm hoping to go early, myself. I've been tired all day, but have been worried that if I nap, it'll mess with my internal clock even more, and I'll
never get it "re-set." Tiredness is so much harder for me to offer up than hunger. Weird. :huh:

'Nite, all.
Thank you, Orate. You are a peach.
That was hilarious, Orate! Your fingers do some really good walking (a spoof on an old saying, you may not be of an age to get it, Orate or Carleen).
So, ladies, going to bed..any thoughts? My thought on it is that I really need to do laundry. Now that it's cold here again, for the next few minutes anyway, I pulled out my last dying pair of warm pj's. The long sleeved top is red (I'll bet you see where I'm going here) with peppermint sticks tied together with green ribbon. The bottoms (the fact that there are bottoms tells me that I wasn't the one who bought them) are white with peppermint sticks and green ribbon all over the place. Like I said, it's time to do laundry!!!
Haven't seen you around much today, Carleen. Was it choir day, today? Or maybe the munchkins stopped by to visit and take care of anything you needed? Whatever the reason, I hope it was a happy one.
So, Miss Orate is a middle of the road sleeper. I don't think I've ever met such a person. But it's really nice to know you are out there. Not alone I hope.
And Non, Bernadette, everyone else? How's life?

I remember let your fingers do the walking. I'm old, remember dymph? Oh I was here.. Got smashed in general Catholic discussion. Some guy asked me what I'm doing here if I don't believe the family is the bedrock of Catholic life. HuH????
He doesn't know me or he would not have said that. Don't worry dymph, I set him strsight! And charitably, too. Love you, sleep tight my little ones. Bird, you hear me? Orate, Non, Ches, everyone? . Sleep tight, whatever that means!

Lol, no. Not drunk. It comes from the old practice of using rope, woven in a crosshatch pattern, to support the mattresses in wooden beds. The rope would be passed through holes in the sides of a wooden bedframe, woven, secured, and "tightened" every night with a special "key," to keep the mattress from sagging. "sleep tight" meant that you wished the person's mattress wouldn't sag, and had been properly adjusted before sleep to prevent a sudden midnight mishap. ;) I found this described in great detail in
Slave Narratives and a few other sources.

Ok. Throwing in the towel. Yep I'm done in. Been playing some electrifying games of spider solitaire. Time to turn in. Don't let that stop you from,posting. I like to read about what went on after I turn in. Dymphna, don't want to see you were posting in the 4 o'clock thread. You hear me? Bird, same goes for you. Non? You staying up late?

I'm sorry, but I couldn't resist this little face! If looks could kill, I'd be dead a thousand times over. Those gorgeous brown eyes are shooting daggers right through you. So anyway, don't tell me what to do.
In bed all day but home with my boys, the Mrs should be home soon. Today was her last day of work before her 6 weeks of medical leave.
What did everyone do today
I did laundry and various tiny things on my "to do" list, and various organizational tasks. So satisfying. I love the feeling of accomplishment. :) Now I'm looking forward to a cup of cocoa, an audiobook, and bed.

In bed all day but home with my boys, the Mrs should be home soon. Today was her last day of work before her 6 weeks of medical leave.

Was such a balmy windy day I wandered the property and checked out my lambs. So cute. Cleaned a bit for choir and now just resting and waiting for bed. Chest glad you got to spend time with boys and glad this was wife's LAST day for a while.
Bird, I know how a productive day feels, though it's been a while! Glad you are pleased with you day!
Bird, would you be so kind to supply a pic for go to bed? Not so good at it. Though I am good at innumerable things, just not a techie. :) I can throw a party, that counts, right? Wow the parties we've had! Nothing tops the barn dance in Mary's Garden. I realize Obrien started it but we all ran with it. Still looking for Dymphna's Harley in my cornfield.

That is just lovely my bird. Thank you.
Found it! We had to trailer it out of the cornfield, but she looks to be in pretty good shape. Started the day a little notch lower on the pain level than what I went to sleep with!! Could have called it a successful day right there, but noooo, I had rounds to do, people to see, and places to go {we are still in virtual mode here, right? Right.} Most importantly I found the leak in the pipe under the bathroom sink before it ruined everything under there! Scooooore! I need to make a trip over to the 'Thanks God' thread.
Good picture find, Bernadette!

OK dymph, you really found the leak? Not virtually? But you virtually found the bike, right. I was beginning to think the barn dance really happened. Glad it did not because it was a drunken hootenany. Dancing and pants and sleeping it off.

The bolded section is why you make sure you've got a comfortable seat on the bike. There's nothing like sleeping under the stars on your bike after an awesome hootenany! ;) Leak real, me riding my Harley into a corn field? I think not! 8)

You know, it took me
years to realize that Dumbo had unwittingly gotten drunk, when he saw those pink elephants in the movie.

Would it have been understood by adult viewers at the time of the movie's release (I think mid-late 1940s)? I think I've been operating under the assumption that it came from the movie! :rofl:

I've checked my Harley over and had it washed and it's all good. I'll put it back in the field. You can see it from your window? I will put it back and ride my Heritage for a while. When it is time to clear the field, I'll come to get it. No worries. ;) :beer:

sleep!) :P

It reminded me of my aunt, too, since we often call each other (or just say in response to a silly mistake) "Silly
Rabbit?!" (from the old Trix commercial). ::) :P But I knew that you'd actually enjoy it, whereas she might enjoy it...or might give me that look that says "Don't you have anything
better to waste my time with?" :lol:
All right: it's "the witching hour." :lol: 'Night, all!

Well, my bread turned out tasty and pleasantly light and springy, but I miss the wheat-y taste of "real wheat" flour; the store only had "white wheat" in my aunt's preferred brand, and it just doesn't taste the same. :shrug: Good news is, the recipe only made two loaves, so I'll be able to experiment with it soon, and see why it "does what it does," by careful substitution of ingredients. For science! :pigeons:
Yes, for science. I can't remember the last time I used a recipe for bread. There is not one I would actually follow. I modify all recipes whether for soups or casseroles or what ever. Ricipes launched me but as soon as I got the basics user my belt I flew solo. Once you understand the chemistry or interaction of ingredients, you can soar. You can take a so so recipe and modify until it's a special and favorite dish. But unless you understand the basics you're probably better off following recipes. Unless you understand which spices are complimentary to one another and which are not, use a recipe.
I wish you could teach me...
Oops! The thread wasn't officially open!
We are wide open now! OK Lynne, you can come live with ME Now you and I will teach you! But, you may end up having to feed the geese and ducks. Maybe throw a flake to the Rams and ewes. Do remember I have cutie little lambs.
I said...OPEN!!!! Totally open now. Bring in your heavy burdens and throw them in the corner. That's right....heave those suckers. Forget about them for a couple hours.

Going to bed in an hour or so and was wondering if all my peeps can be accounted fot. Not to worry, I'll leave a light on. And my dog at the door with your slippers!
Ok. Ask yourself. "Can I do anything about this TONIGHT, orTOMORROW?" If not, then go to sleep or just don't carry the worry all day. Worry about what you're going to do, when it's time or close to time to do something.
But a lot of stuff, I can actually do things about tonight. Night is really just an extension of working hours, now that we have modern conveniences. ;)

Huh.

Plus his only 2 friends in the whole wide world live continents away. He can usually get the Abominable Snowman on Skype in January when the atmosphere is at it's thinnest point both here and in Asia. But he can only communicate with his buddy Nessie in Scotland by using morse code after stringing electric eels together across the Atlantic. It's quite time consuming so he only does it over the holidays. It's enough to make any creature sad. :'( :-\ :huh: :laugh:

Bird, you do enjoy disecting language. I love language but can see I'm just a neophyte in your august company. I am about as big as a pea and you are a sasquatch. They're real you know. They speak english. Uggh, meh, grrrrrrr, awwwww poop. Well at least I think it's english. They're really quite intelligent. Kinda short tempered. So would you be, everyone screams at them. The poor big scaries.

OK dymphna, I want to know where you get these things. I'm quite certain these creatures live in michigan. Upper mi. And you don't know this and I said I would keep it under my hat, but....I did not promise secrecy. Anyway the abominal snow man is a woman now. Yes this is a well known fact that if they wish, they can be whatever sex they choose. Anyway, she and sasquatch had children. True. Nellie is Godmother and they just grabbed the first bear running by to be godfather. True. Quite certain they have lost their faith. This is all too terrible to contemplate. So dont.
Dymph, where did you go? Here I am with a delicious gossip soup for you and bird to "savor" as bird likes to say! Anyway, come see what I have for you!!!!

See, I had a long talk with sasquatch when we spent our Christmas break on the lake up around Hillman, MI. He was having the Jersey Devil over for lunch when I stumbled upon them after going for a walk in the woods. At first Sasquatch was really ticked that I saw him, but even more because my startling him made him drop the bear souffle on the rock table, which caused the souffle to fall. The "Dev" was going to be there any minute and just look what I had made him do? I apologized profusely and offered to help make another, but it was of no use. Then, the "Dev" showed up and was furious that I was there and "saw" him. I ran out and got the sub sandwhich and thermos full of soup out of my backpack and offered it to them to help repair any damage I had done. Sasquatch appreciated the gesture, but the "Dev", not so much. He flew out of there in a rage and told Sasquatch they were no longer friends since he was hanging out with the likes of me.
So, now Sasquatch is stuck with a transgendered "wife" and his only friend is the Godmother to his kids? How sad! Just imagine the good a saintly Priest could have done up there. Of course he could be there after dark, but during daylight hours, abundant holiness in God's creatures. Even if they are creepy creatures. :lol:
I'm here, and now like a bat, I'm all ears!

Gotta call it quits for a couple of hours. Things to do. ;)
Well, it's not like I have any thing to say. Besides how do I top your story, dymph, I thought I did, then.....you show up with a better. More details. Maybe you should consider children's stories....Beauty and the Sasquatch, or...maybe....
Nessy and the Devil.

I believe you said you had something for me? The devil on my right shoulder says, "It's ok, gossip is always fun", but the angel on my left shoulder says, "Oh no, no, no, no, no. Gossip is never fun, it's evil!"
As to your previous statement to me, can you imagine what I would be like if I did drugs? Of course I'd still be hella cool, but when I wasn't being hella cool, I'd be off the charts weird. :o 8)

That is squanglish. I'll be Kaese and Laus are fluent in it. Hey! Perhaps they could start translating messages we intercept. It would be in Squwatchies' best interest for us to keep him safe. Then we could all head over to the Jersey Devil's lair. Boy would he be ticked. lol

I thought gossip about sasquatch, bigfoot, ness, was allowed. Sorry dymphna, I won't drag you into that again! Be good my friend. Sleep well. No halucinations, or making food during nite. May your angels protect you. No bad dreams. God bless. Going to sleep now.

Meh, I met Squatchie when I was 13, what do I care if there's gossip going around about him? He hasn't contacted me, nor has he returned my calls or letters. So, :bronx: on him. Let's take this up again tomorrow since my curiosity has been tweaked. Be ready to dish! Sweet dreams my friend. I hope you have a good night's rest. I would be going to sleep as well, but I have to get my nails finished first. Oh the priorities!! :swoon1: :lol:
Let's be real here. No more Nellie, Sassy, or Abbey. This time. Let's talk about fairies. Who believes in them?
WE'RE OPEN. COME IN AND GRAB A BEER. or not. Cocoa and cookies.
It quarter to 10. We will lose Orate, Ches hopefully, he needs his sleep, bird, because she was up way late. Me. I will be going to sleep within an hour. Slept a few hours today. Hope I can sleep after that. Dymphna, did you sleep today at all? I hope so. You guys are so good to me, I just want Ya'll to be rested and strong for tomorrow. Another day, another opportunity!

Nite all.
Can't count the number of times I fell asleep reading the kids to sleep. G-nite Orate!
Good night, Orate! Hope and pray for a good one for you. I want to ask about your Hubby, but I'm never thinking about it when I see you around (loved the puppy sticking his tongue out btw. That was feel good gold!). Hopefully I will remember tomorrow to ask you.
It sounds like you, Miss Carleen, have been getting plenty of rest. Woo Hoo! You will be healed in no time at all. ;)
I got a couple of hours this morning but knowing I was going out with a friend made me worry about not waking up. I set the alarm on my phone but somehow slept right through it. My friend called once and I didn't hear that either. The second time she called I heard it and had to scramble to get out the door! Hopefully there will be sleep in my future soon!
As to fairies. I didn't used to believe in them until I read about St Joan of Arc talking to them. There was another saint as well who believed in them, but I can't for the life of me remember who that was. I'll have to do some digging. Plus there's always Tinkerbell to remember. So there's that. Why do you ask Carleen?

I ask just out of curiosity. St. Joan saw something and called them fairies. What has been concluded about her fairies? Are there fairies. Are they sent by God? Or just in her case.
And yes, just call me a slug. A sloth, gotta start producing. This does not suit me. Glad you got out dymph, and your stupid head did not stop this from happening! Yahoo! Going to sleep now dymph, so good nite sweetheart.

In all honesty, I don't know what, if anything, was concluded about her fairies or any other. I find it to be highly unlikely, but then there is that other saint who saw them. I really need my stupid head to remember who that was! :doh:
Yes, you are such a lazy bum. How can your Hubby stand it? Please, please, please be careful while producing. We need you around for many years to come. Don't forget that it was "producing" that got you into this mess to begin with.
Sweet dreams my bestie. Close your eyes and rest enough for the two of us. I think I need to listen to this latest broadcast before making further political comments. :hide:
You may now....go to bed. But wait! There's more......a couple hours more. You can't be that tired.

Yes that's a fairy. The one in the middle. Yes. I know this. Ask Joan. She would know.
Orate! I could kiss you. Those are all so sweet! You are too good to our threads! Just wait until dymph, my fairy loving friend, sees these!
Actually, no.2 seems big, in context, for a fairy. Have I been hoodwinked? Am I wrong, was it the first one that is truly a fairy?
Orate in the house!!!
Number one - awesome fairy
Number two - little girl fairy in a beautiful picture
Number three - beautiful fairy/butterfly

That third picture of the beautiful fairy in red got me to thinking. Would some fairies have wings like butterflies and some like dragon flies? Each different? Or is there a certain pattern regarding their make up?

I do not know the answer to this. I am just not well read about these little lovelies. Study, dymph, study is required here. Maybe the local community college has a class on fairyism.

They would, but it would be about how great homosexuals are. Not my kind of class. Pretty classless, really, when you think about it. ;)

I hope neither she nor her Aunt is sick as well. I hate not knowing, but shall wait anyway. Yes, we went to lunch at the Cracker Barrel and had breakfast. :laugh: Then we went to the mall so I could exchange 3 of the rings I bought (they were actually too big! Can you believe it?) and Oota had to get some t-shirts for her boyfriend. After that we did some shopping at WalMart. For somebody who doesn't get out very often, I got quite a bit done.
I think you would really like Oota. She's one of those people who grew up the hard way but doesn't resent anyone for it. She would help anyone with anything that she could. She helped me through a few things. I wish she was Catholic. It would do her alot of good and I think she would take it and run with it. She doesn't have to know that I'm praying for her conversion. :skeptical: :pray3: 8)
I think I would like Ota also. And no, what she doesn't know, definitely will not hurt her. God bless you dymph, you're a good woman. Good nite all. I'm pooped.

YOU, YEAH YOU, DYMPHNA. How about we start an interesting, invigorating, riveting, dramatic, intelligent conversation for tonight? Orate? Bird :'( , Jayne, Ches, Heinrich? If dymphna, who we all know is perfectly capable of this, doesn't step up, how about someone else. NON NOBIS, WHERE ARE YOU? Missing those taking a break.

Well yesterday's intelligent conversation was about fairies. So how about today we talk about gnomes!
(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/4b/88/e4/4b88e40e40da708e2742b31c5cca0c41.jpg)
Gnomes? Are they tiny trolls or boy fairies with no wings? Are they secret service? Russian spies? Are there female gnomes? Do they mate for life, like geese? As you can see, I am at a loss as to what exactly gnomes are, but would love to know, Orate. Are they good, or bad? Tiny people? Aliens? What?
Oh, silly me, I looked back at pic and now know beyond a shadow of a doubt, there are girl gnomes. Picture don't lie.
Gnomes have historically been described as small (from a few inches to a foot or two in height) stout beings who live in Nature - usually underground. European magicians and other mystics considered gnomes the most common and important elemental spirits of the 'Earth' element (the other three classical elements being: 'Water,' 'Fire,' and 'Air'). Gnomes were said to wear conical hats and to be able to move through the earth itself as easily as we humans walk upon it, yet if any of these underground dwellers were caught out in the daylight it was said that the rays of the Sun turned them into stone.
Sometimes gnomes were said to have magical powers to protect or punish people – or to reward them with happiness. Gnomes are also said to be guardians of secret underground treasures – especially gold! Even in modern times gnomes are said by some –such as the highly influential mystic Rudolph Steiner - to be involved in the hidden processes of plant life. In fact many farms, including prize-winning vineries, follow principles based on these beliefs.
More modern descriptions of gnomes usually emphasize their bright red pointed hats, solid colored clothes, and the long white beard of the typical male. Though sightings of female gnomes are rarely reported, gnome women are generally thought to be beard-free.
The name 'gnome' is said to come from the Latin word 'gnomus' which is thought to possibly come from the Greek word 'gnosis' meaning "knowledge" (i.e. of hidden treasure), but is more likely rooted in the word 'genomos' meaning "earth dweller"
Gnomes are known by different names throughout different parts of Europe - for instance: they are called 'barbegazi' in Switzerland and France, 'kaukis' in Prussia, 'leprechauns' and 'clurichauns' in Ireland, 'saunatonttu' in Finland, 'nisse' or 'tomte' in Scandanavia, and 'voettir' in Iceland. Other parts of the world have traditions about very similar creatures. For example, in Japan magical beings such as 'bakemono,' 'yokai,' and even 'tengu' are comparable to gnomes. In fairy tales and other European mythologies gnomes are often confused with goblins, dwarves, and even elves. Today gnomes continue to feature in a wide variety of literature and other media - ranging from Harry Potter to South Park to even being used as the name of computer systems and aircraft engines.

Sugar, cream, and blackberries! Food I could live on. As for the gnomes, thanks for all the cool information, Orate. I had no idea their lore was spread so far and wide. Besides seeing them in gardens, the following was about the extent of my gnome knowledge:

Gnomes; if they aren't stealing your underpants, they're stealing your dream vacation. :lol:
We have underground tunnels all over our farm. We thought they were moles. I guess we should quit poisoning them. I found a teeny tiny hat in the yard. At first I thought it belonged to one of granddaughters stuffed animals. Now I know better, I'll shove it down into one of our tunnels.
Orate, thank you for enlightening me on this most important aspect of earthling life. I now know their presence must be respected.
Good nite all! See you tomorrow.

Orate, thank you for enlightening me on this most important aspect of earthling life. I now know their presence must be respected.
I agree, Carleen. We need to spread this information far and wide. I wonder how many gnomes have been killed simply because few know of their existence. We should start an awareness campaign. We can call it
PING! People's Important New Gnomes
Gooten Habem, Carleen. May your rest be restful and dreams be dreamy! ;) 8)
Ok. Alright. Ok. Alright. Get Jammies on and I will beg a pic to gear our little heads towards our pillows. Yes indeed! We can read books to each other. We could start Pollyanna, in honor of the Bird. A moment of silence please......
I don't know bird, the wind is about out of my sails. If you are lurking, please know we miss you. :pray2: :'(
I wish you weren't so sad, but I understand why you are. Perhaps we could start a Bird novena to her patron, St Theresa. You know, help her get through what ever it is that has taken her away from us. We'll save her spot on the couch so it will be spiffy and not used when she returns. What do you think?

Thanks dymphna, just put it in go to bed or good morning and we will do this together. Yes, I am sad. But still I have confidence in Bird and Divine Providence. If there is a resolution needed I pray that it is given.
Now, I am done wearing my heart on my sleeve for all to see, I'll just tuck this one right near my heart and quit spreading my disappointment around so everyone has to bear it. Besides, bears like honey......huh?.....
So, dymph, how was your day? Mine was just fine. Except for....But hey, it really was a decent day and I really am improving. How about your stupid head? If I hear bad things in your report, I will try harder to help, in ways you'll never know!
I'll put this the way Hubby says it when I ask him how his day went, "It wasn't terrible." or "It didn't suck." I actually got some things done for a change! Got all of my bills paid (I love it when I can do that!), even one I didn't like, got my laundry done, got everything I'm returning from my recent spending spree boxed up and ready to go to UPS, and got my annoying floors swept and ready to mop tomorrow. It's amazing what you can get done when you are vertical! :lol: With fingers crossed, I can report that my stupid head has been more than cooperative today. :cheer: Thank you for asking. You are such a kind and sweet soul, Carleen. We are fortunate to have you here, on our side.
I'll find a novena and post it asap. ;)

Thanks my friend. A good report. Now, tell me, you're not sending your jewelry back are you? Those rings were so delicate and tasteful. I love them. I don't like bling but your rings have that understated elegance. Plus I remember they came by mail. So is that what you're returning?

Yes, 4 of the rings were just too big and I was worried I would lose them. I'm looking around to replace them and if all else fails, I'll reorder them in the right size.
I'm also returning a skirt and 2 dresses that I paid way too much for and turned out to be way to big for me. And one of the dresses ended up looking like my Grandmother's curtains. Not the way it looked in the catalog. And 2 extremely cute Harley riding t-shirts. Those were too small. The good thing was I found and bought a t-shirt that Oota had really wanted. I got mine from a vendor at the Pawhuska, Oklahoma rally years ago and she really wanted one. I've been looking for years and finally found one. Now there is going to be 2 Asphalt Angels in the house!
I will replace all of these things, but I will make sure they will fit. :) 8)

Sweet dreams, dear friend. Get the rest you need. Your body is still healing and that takes so much energy. You are good at pushing yourself (much better than I could ever be). Prayers for a good night for everybody! :pray3:
We are open. So open you won't believe it. Come in and see for yourself!
We could use a picture for tonight. I am not good with those things. So, help me out here, please.

You look pretty sleepy. Adorable non.
Opening so I can say my goodnights. Party over and I am shot. Great food. Great fun. Lots of people. Kids ran wild, some parents just come here plunk down and provide very little oversight. That's the downside of these parties. There is really so much for kids to get hurt on and get into. I would never just let my kids roam someone's house without me on their heels. I think at times they leave their brains in the car and pick them up after party. I'm talking kids between 2 and 6. But besides that, the party was a hoot. No one thank God got hurt. Angels just keep watch.
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Carleen. Sorry your party got out of control. You know what happens when you are nice enough to invite peeps over to your humble abode. Give people an inch and they will take a mile. It's a little weird people would just go to someone else's home and let their little one's roam. Glad it was a hoot though! You deserve a hoot every now and then. :cheeseheadbeer: 8)

It would have been so much better dymphna, had you been there. It wasn't that bad, plus I really know what to expect from this particular young family. Good people I know, for sure. Just seems these poor people must need a break from their insanely needy children and their children need other children to play with. She stays home with the kids, but they are all very high strung and never at peace. I always forget just how difficult they are to have over. But, if I hadn't said anything I may have received some merit for providing a break and change of scenery for the poor things.
Thanks dymphna for helping me rethink what I said. A good side is that it was a day spent outside. A bit chilly, but we had a fire in the Den.

Oh no, he hardly mingled. Those kids drive him crazy. So he hid away in house, on computer. Came out a few times to chat, but went right back in. He says it's better for him to not see the circus!

Oh, my goodness. I can relate soo much to this. Hubby does this at HIS family's get together's. He knows the passwords to the computers at his Mom's house and with the exception of when it's time to eat, he disappears into the computer room. Then suddenly his fun-meter is pegged and he's ready to go. I've figured out how to work with and around it. It sounds like you have too. It's a good thing he came out to chat, even though he didn't stay long.
I would have loved to have been there. You probably put on quite a spread! And I'm sure you worked extra hard to make everyone comfortable, you have that way about you. Do you get invited over to their house?

Oh, we always have an open invitation, but no thanks. There were many other people at the party. It's just these particular parties are front and center. But despite this common occur and with this fam, I sincerely do like them and so do others. Everyone just wipes their brow when they leave, but there are very few who actually do not like them. They try oh so hard to do the right thing in most cases, Dymphna, despite what happens we still love them.
Yes, hubby has his way and I don't complain. I don't have to watch him get irritated and he doesn't have to watch me watching their kids making sure all is well, which would bother him even more.I am still talking about this. Stop it! Ok. Done. Yes we do work pretty hard to put these parties on. Son does all the barbecueing. So that helps.
How was your day? Anything out of the norm happen. Did you get together with anyone?
I'm so glad you had a good time overall. Genuinely liking these people with the rambunctious children is a gift you seem to have. You can see the good in a bad/awkward situation.
So your son is a bbqing, critter ridding, all around good son? How blessed are you?!
As for me, Hubby and I spent the day together in Kansas City. We went to the Waffle House for breakfast, shopped for my new chair, He surprised me by stopping at the Russel Stover outlet store. Bought stuff for the kids' Easter baskets, as well as a bag of blooper orange jelly dark chocolate sticks. That and some carmels as well as couple of coconut nests.
Then we went to an empty parking lot where Alan was going to buy another drone. It turned out to be something he wasn't interested in (thank you God!). So then we went to Gates BBQ for lunch/supper. That's the extent of my day. Not as big as yours, but sort of big for me. :)

Dymph, that sounds like a perfectly pleasant day. Especially Russell stoves :)
Open up! Hurry! I have to go to the bathroom. Oh, just joking. Come we are now open. Serving up shadow soup, rabbit track stew, for those fasting.
So, it is time to say goodbye.mwe'Lloyd chat is n the morning. Carleen
Sweet dreams, my friend. Even though it's lent. I've never heard of shadow soup or rabbit track stew. Stone soup and shoe leather broth I've heard of. Fortunately never tasted it or need to. :lol: We should make up a lenten cook book. Who knows what all would be in there! Good night. :pray1:
Open. You'll find no disparaging words, or character smearing here. So consider this your safe space ;)

How very.....colorful. I'm tired looking at it. I think the z's are getting to me. Thanks Orate!
I'll have what he had, barkeep! :lol:
That time again. Time to get ourselves geared to a good night's sleep. I think a good night pic helps with this. Maybe someone will supply us with one. That would be so kind. And a good night story.

Me too, but I'm starting to get the itch for a road trip. Is the Struggle Bus up and running? Come to think of it, and this is off topic, have you seen Ches around today? He didn't get banned too, did he? Just kidding.

Struggle bus always running. I did see ches. He has not been stopping in but I've seen him in the co sleep thread. You can take bus for drive as long as it goes in the right direction.

Thanks for the Ches update. I had a dream about him last night and not seeing him today made it kind of weird. What would be the wrong direction for the struggle bus?

Only wrong direction is away from the pearly gates.

You doing alright, Sweetie? Granted, your little body has been dealt a major blow, but have you been checked for infection or even a vitamin B deficiency? I won't pepper you with questions. Don't worry about me, you go get some rest. The good Lord willing, we'll be around to talk again tomorrow. Sweet dreams.
Good night all.
Carleen, my oldest son along with his school team will be competing with the formula car they designed in Brooklyn, MI the second weekend of May. DH and other DS planning to go up on that Saturday. Maybe I can have them drop me off then. Wouldn't that be a hoot!

Good pic orate! Just an odd thought... if I self identified as the man in the moon, which refrigerator would I eat out of? Just a crazy question for a crazy situation.
Ches, it wasn't a terrible dream, just kind of weird. My dreams tend to have a dominant color. This time it was white. I was some kind of assistant for your wife so she wouldn't have to get up at night. This night I found you running a fever and you had fallen out of bed trying to walk. Took you to the hospital, where absolutely everything was white, from the hospital itself to the close we were wearing. It was weird, but there was no time to think about it.
The ER was on the 4th floor and I had wheeled you into the elevator and turned around to get the baby's stroller in there as well. The stroller was white and the baby was dressed in white (like a Baptismal gown)too. Just as I grabbed the stroller and turned around, the elevator doors shut. There was nothing I could do, so I took the baby and we hauled it up 4 flights of stairs to meet you there. You weren't there and no one had seen you. My heart was pounding and my brain was starting to shiver. The baby started to cry, saying 'Daddy! Daddy!' over and over. I couldn't make him comfortable enough to stop crying. Finally, the elevator doors opened and there you were, with your beautiful wife. You had seen her coming in from the windows opposite the elevator and ran down to greet her, all while thinking it would take me a while to get the baby up the stairs with the stroller. The baby and I, both, were very happy to see you two.
We are open. Come in and relax, I mean tomorrow will be here before we know it, right? Then what? Hustle and bustle, processions, Mass. A full day. Though we love it for sure! How about a pic dymphna, if you will. Maybe bird will stop in and say hi!
After confession, hubby and I went to dinner with son I don't see often. Son asked if we could meet at 5 in jackson. Well of course we could and did. Then I bought some make up. If you can't do your hair by golly you better have make up! It was my first time out not on a Sunday. Had fun, but am very tired.
Sorry I missed the request Carleen. I didn't realize how late it was. Here it is anyway, just in case someone else is up like me (and it best not be you, Missy!) ;)
This one isn't very cute, but I really like the sentiment

Good night everyone! See you next Sunday, miss you already

We won't be turning in too early tonight. It's husband's first weekend home after a long business trip, so we are visiting and catching up. I'm getting the baby to sleep, he's serving dinners to the other kids, then we have a bonfire planned for after that.

Oh! Can I stop in? I love a good bonfire! Wait...we can have our own. But we wont. Oh well it was a good day anyway! Hoping for a good night's sleep, hopefully tonight is the night. But if I don't I'll be praying for dymphna, hoping she won't have to take her head in to the ER.

Hey, Ches, you here? It's a lonely night. Wanna talk about my lambs, or lamb recipes? My dog? He has been learning new tricks. Been bringing him to work in the animal pens. Too bad we don't really know what we're doing. But he does. He understands more than we do about what needs doing. It cute to watch. The goats with Long floppy ears were easy for him to capture by the ears.
You have goats? I thought it was just sheep and lambypies. Where have I been? :o :doh:

The lambs are adorable. The jump and kick up a lot looking so happy out there. Yeah, well eat them, when they are no longer cute. In about 8 months. 80° how wonderful! It's warm here, but not that warm. Glad you are going out with son, Ches. Good for both of you!

I love my white noise machine--one of the best things about being home. They dont allow it in the hospital--and that is the placewhere you really need to block out the ambient noise!

I've actually started using a portable fan next to my bed: makes a world of difference. :)
I have slept with a fan for a long time. I used to run one for the kids, then I became addicted to the noise and can hardly sleep without one.
My CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine acts as my white noise machine.
Yeah, I either need white noise or ear plugs to sleep
Takes two of these to get me headed that way

I wonder what my ingredient list would look like?
I think I will go to bed. Been a long delightful day here. Kites flying, animals and food. Was a good day. They lambs were a hoot to watch!
wow real lambs on easter must be pretty special
did you have lamb fr dinner
my son seemed to have a pretty nice day, was low key just church and then hanging around the house. I hate not going to church or being able to celebrate in any way feels liked easter skipped over me. They went for a nice walk...I wanted to go but too much nausea and too much pain...just feel so depressed and awful. i hate that I am home and this was his spring break this past week but I didnt really make the most of it because I am too busy worrying about how God is going to judge me when I die and purgatory,and hel, and the past, can't enjoy the present at all...
back to school tomorrow...

Hey, could, or would some kind soul post a gnite pic? Hurry, be for H&B puts up some big bodacious pic in his gnite thread!
Fun day at the lake today. Almost got rained out, but the weather held out, and turned out to be a gorgeous day! We will sleep well tonight, for sure. But, first, dinner. My oldest is going to babysit, so husband and I (and baby) can go out to eat. Getting the kids fed now, so they can watch a movie while we are out. What a great day....these kinds of all play , no work days are so far and few between, we really try to make the most of them.
Sorry, not good at pics :(. But, you have my loyalty here in this thread, either way :)

Door is open. Please drop in to say good night. If you wish.
I definitely wish :). I'm pretty tired tonight, but I have to feed everyone dinner still. I'm calling it an early night after that, though. Care to join me in a little glass of wine, Carleen, before the evening gets hectic?

I'm exhausted. Thankfully, the sun is going down so I can go to bed without feeling like something is wrong with my internal clock. ;)

I have exhausted myself with my own stupidity and wrongdoing. I want to pull covers over my head and wind myself in a burial cloth and wait for some kind soul to bury me. Pretty dramatic, huh? Well, I've outdone myself....again. :( :'( :pray3:

Nite all. Sorry I haven't been here much. Had a wonderful visit with DD #2 and hubby while they were here. Had a glorious Easter with DD #1 and her family. Now I'm busy packing and getting ready to fly out to Dallas to visit my sister tomorrow evening. I'll be praying for yall--getting my Texas twang ready--- Please pray for me. I'll try to get on SD while I'm in Dallas, but I haven't seen my sister in nearly 3 years--so we will probably be chatting 24/7. LOL
Sweet dreams
As soon as your head hits the pillow, may your mind melt into a relaxing state of childlike bliss followed by a long, uninterrupted deep sleep and pleasant dreams, to awaken with the energy and vitality of sunshine and Spring. One can hope. ;) :pray1:

Do you remember Scipio_ a and Underdog from FE? They just built a big beautiful house down that way. Wave at my beautiful Goddaughter as you are landing and say a quick prayer for her since she's been really sick since Saturday. It seems like it's a beautiful area. If you don't have your twang ready, they'll hand it to you at the Oklahoma border. With Kansas! Hahaha! Have fun y'all! God bless and I will send the Angels with you.
I am going to bed. I am wasted and can barely walk. Not wasted as in inebriated, just all used up. God bless each of you with a peaceful restorative sleep. AsI hope for myself, also.
Praying for you cadleem
For what that's worth
went to day program after over a week with no PT. Very sore
Have a new headrest for my chair which is probably ergonomically correct but feels weird and will take forever to get used to

No Munda, I am not myself. I can't even find myself. I've been replaced with something alien. It's not a good fit at all. Maybe tomorrow i will be better and quit causing myself and others grief. Seems every now and then I cause a trainwreck, probably to remind me of how much work i have to do, still. Wreaking havoc is completely exhausting and it gets harder to put the pieces back together. I'll be okay, Munda. Tomorrow is indeed a new day. I will be able to begin again. God is so good to give me new days to start over with. Thanks for your concern.
Carleen, may God grant you a much better morning (and not just faking it, as we know you do very well!). But take care of yourself before real harm is done - a cheerful mood doesn't fix everything forever.
But I really do appreciate your God-centered cheerfulness!

Thank you Ches, I do need your prayers. More than you can know. I appreciate your kindness. Your headrest will become more comfortable. But changes like that do take time to adapt to. Good night Ches.

Non, thank you. You are always so kind and good natured.
Open! Come put your feet up and we can discuss stinky vs, non stinky dogs ;)
See you all in the good morning thread. I am done for tonight. May God bless everyone with just the right amount and the quality of sleep you need. May your angels surround you and soothe you while you sleep.

Almost ready for bed. All the kiddos are tucked in, but husband and I discovered a leak under the kitchen sink :/. I think he's got it fixed now. He will check it in the morning before work.

Carleen, Ches, PerEvangelica, everyone, have a comforting, restful retreat this night from the aches and pains of daily life. May the angels massage your temples. May your pillow and bed soothe your discomforts. May a gentle wave of serenity calm the mind as it drifts into God's own repose. May only pleasant and rejuvenating dreams occupy your sleeping mind. And when you awaken, may the morning lift your body and soul like a gentle ocean breeze, to seize the new day, a gift from God, and to make the best of every blessed day in this short valley of tears.

It sure is nice that you all can spend time together, even if it's fixing things!

Good Night All! Send your Guardian Angels to someone in need tonight, unless you are that person. And if that is the case, get over to the Prayer Intensions section pronto and tell us about if you would like to, or just sign in.

No more gloom I promise. I feel the light and know I am near the end of my distress. Nothing has really changed, so maybe I have changed just a little, through chastisement and love. I do hope so
So, it seems my last ewe is very late having her babies. She may not be overdue, but certainly became pregnant late in the season! Can't believe she actually is pregnant she's so late.
Go on. Hop in jammies. Brush teeth and read me a book!

wow Chris you could do thoseguidee meditation videos
Didn't get around to stocking up on melatonin today but no worries, I have magnesium citrate I take each night which is good for sleep.
May the lights of the evening dim softly and slowly as the waters of a hot bath are poured. Soft sheets and pillows beckon. The stresses of a day of work and prayer subside. The eyes relax and begin to close. Tomorrow will be another day, but for now is the rest of night. Lie down and let your weary worries fade. As the head gently settles on the pillow, the muscles of the neck and back relax. Take a deep breath and let rest overtake you. Within minutes your mind will become quiet and drift into sleep. The angels will guard your mind so you have holy and pleasant dreams. When the morning rays of sunlight enter the room, you will remember God's gift of life, and gladly accept the day for all God has blessed you with, including your crosses and comforts.

Slowed breathing. REM sleep. Dark room. Soothing muscles. Fading discomforts.
A time for retreat. A time for a break. A time for healing the mind and body.
Sleep. Oh welcome sleep. Those hours when I can take a break from the grind, and from daily crosses. Oh blessed sleep, which renews my energy and spirit.
Good night princes and princesses of Suscipe Domine. :pray1:

Many times I wil, sleep soundly until 3 or 4. Wake up, and spend the rest of the night tossing and turning and no matter what, I can't go back to sleep. Then, i may get lucky and doze between 7 and 8am. I only know this because I'll remember strange little dreams!

Have you ever tried
timed-released Melatonin? I still need to restock Melatonin, thinking to try the timed-released kind. Something I read said its good for sleeping the whole night. When I took Ambien for a month--which I do not recommend unless you absolutely need it--I'd wake up in the middle of the night wide awake and couldn't get back to sleep. Now I may toss and turn a bit.
Perevangelica is the resident sleep expert. She suggested eating a high protein/fat snack before bedtime. Keeps the blood sugars more stable during the night, low blood sugar being one thing that wakes people up around 3 or 4 in the am.
Going to get some of that time release kind. Just makes sense.
Wow Chris, you did my job for me! You cracked this thread wide opem! And now that it is open, come on in my fellow bedheads. Are you ready to rumble? I am just ready to tumble, right into bed to tell the truth. But come on, I'll pour you some wine.
Think about this...just think about it. If you don't go to bed.....you can't get out of bed. Getting out of bed is an often overlooked act of penance. Really it is. You have something, upon opening your eyes, to offer up.... getting out of bed!
Getting out of bed is HARD work for some of us. Getting in bed is required for getting out of bed, you see? So go to bed. Not now of course but at the appropriate time. Then you can get up. And just think if you don't GO to bed, you can't enjoy your coffee, when you get OUT of bed. Just sayin....
As you read this.
Your eyelids are growing heavy..
Your breathing is slowing down...
Your heart rate is lowering.....
Your mind is becoming melow.....
Your aches and pains are melting away......
The bed beckons.
The lights want to be turned down.
The pillow is fluffed, the sheets are fresh
The bedroom is now dark and quiet
Prayers said
Tomorrow's to-do-list checked
A slice of avocado and turkey eaten
Melatonin, magnesium, and Valerian root taken
Time to go to bed
To let the mind and body heal once again
After one more day meriting heaven
Until tomorrow we do it again
Open now! Open and ready for all bed heads here. Even if you do not consider yourself a bed head, you are. Yes, sad but true. We are a race of bedheads. Truth. It's a proven fact. OK. So you sleep on a futon. Ok. Then I guess you are a futon head. But deep down, I think you know ....you are of the bedhead tribe. I mean....you haven't always slept on a futon. Cheer up. It's not a nasty thing to be a bedhead. We've had some remarkable bedhead warrors. General Patton was a bedhead.
Bedhead is my look
It can be a very good look. Looks better than a long time nonsleeper. Sorry Dymphna. That's a good look too, if you're fond of zombies. Now the zombie look is going out of fashion and the bedhead look is in.
We're ready when you all are (even though I slept until 6:00 :eek: )

Seen that pic before and laugh each time, part baby zombie, part bedhead. Who are his parents. Must see! Thanks for the laugh and pic Dymph. Is your bedhead ancestry showing itself tonight?
There is nothing like a good night of sleep. To fall asleep fast, and to stay asleep the whole night. To not toss and turn. To go naturally through all the sleep cycles. To have nothing but pleasant dreams that you remember when you wake up to the rising of the sun. To feel refreshed and ready to take on the new day. There is nothing like a good night of sleep.

I'd like to think our first day in heaven God will say for us to have a good, long sleep. It will be pure bliss.
And when we wake up, He'll have a big breakfast prepared for us, and we'll laugh and smile about how we made it.

I'll bet there is not a lot of sleep in purgatory! We may be terribly tired by the time we get to heaven, so your senario could very well be ;)

No, no bedhead ancestry. However, now that I think about it, they used to call me Dandelion because the little blonde whisps that passed as hair for me until I was about 1 and 1/2 years old , stuck straight out no matter what they did to tame it. I guess it looked like the dandelion when it turns to seed and turns white. Other than that, ixnay on te bedheaday. We have more of a bathroom ancestry;

Ooo, ooo! You have to read Dante's Divine Comedy, at least the Purgatorio... Purgatory is a mountain that you have to ascend, but you can only ascend it during the day, while the sun is out.

Now that's a productive day, Chris. Yes, made me sad that you had to quit, though knowing you will finish. I find gardening theraputic. I also find refinishing furniture to be theraputic. My picnic table is beautiful. Second table has been sanded, just needs the finish put on. That is very satisfying and contributes to the house and yard appearance. I'm on a roll and hope to keep up the work. Putting our garden in is a big production. There are really two gardens. One has a variety of vegetables, another is strictly potato. We produce all needed to make our own salsa and enough potatoes to last until the middle of winter and beyond.

That's amazing too you're keeping busy and productive. Did you actually make the tables yourself, or are you putting the finishing touches on them?
I'd love to have a big garden one day, but I would need more space and a tiller. Last summer I must've spent 10 hours digging one by hand. The kind where you take a shovel and dig up a big piece of earth and shake out the grass, one square foot at a time. This summer that patch got some grown over with grass, I know it'd take many hours to prepare it again, so instead I used some of our flower beds. The one right in front will have a few squash plants planted between some yellow and pink flowers--didn't pay attention to their names--and there's a big square flower bed right behind it where I planted 4 tomato plants, some zucchini seeds, and 4 eggplants. In another bed on the side, I planted cucumbers and swiss chard (which might be too late to plant, but we'll see).
Do you have a tiller?
My grandkids LOVE gardening, pulling weeds, which have very little of because we lay paper between the rows, just old newspapers, and top them with grass clippings. All biodegradable.
Yes Chris we do but hubby takes the tractor in and uses his implements to break things up and get it ready for planting. Remember this is a small farm so we have, most likely, a lot more to work with than you, especially if you live in a subdivision or in town. You start acquiring as soon as you get the farm. Grandkids learn quickly what is weed, what is not. They learn all the stages of growth and when to pick. It's fun for them and me!
I'm not alone in this and need help from husband, but together we get things done!

I have dug up many gardens by hand and shovel. Now THAT is hard work. My hats off to you, many will not do that. Guess you want a garden more than they do! When I do that, well, I don't need to do that anymore, but when I did, my garden always ended up smaller than I first envisioned it, only because the work is completely exhausting!

Yes Chris we do but hubby takes the tractor in and uses his implements to break things up and get it ready for planting. Remember this is a small farm so we have, most likely, a lot more to work with than you, especially if you live in a subdivision or in town. You start acquiring as soon as you get the farm. Grandkids learn quickly what is weed, what is not. They learn all the stages of growth and when to pick. It's fun for them and me!
I'm not alone in this and need help from husband, but together we get things done!
I think I picked up on you having a farm of some sorts with your lambs. Growing up we had a couple acres, big enough for a huge garden most years + some chickens. We live in a city neighborhood with small lots, but it's my dream to move out to the countryside and have a "small farm." Basically a big garden and a few farm animals. But that's more in my five year plan. The wife, she is okay living in the city since it's more convenient.

Your 5 year plan, huh? Good for you, Chris. Life just carried us along, unfolding as we went.We lived on a wing and a prayer. Check to check, child to child. Home schooling in our minds dictated life on a farm. No one looking over our shoulders, no one to report us. Best thing that ever happened to us. Far from perfect, but close enough to know it was the right way to go. Sadly this was not before my kids had been scandalized in every way imaginable. I have kids that attended schools up to junior high and 3 that never stepped inside a school. Prior to making the decision to homeschool, my heart was closed to the prospeft. Thank God, He changed my heart and I saw the light. And now, kids are grown and I'm still on the farm. Guess I took to the lifestyl.

Open. We're open now. Just drop on in. How was your day?
Keeping as active as possible to overcome my recent health issues, per doctors' advice. Had to stop school/work recently, but plan to finish the program, and get back to work soon. Two good walks with the dogs, ran errands, planted a vegetable garden and some flowers. :patriot:
Now that's a productive day, Chris. Yes, made me sad that you had to quit, though knowing you will finish. I find gardening theraputic. I also find refinishing furniture to be theraputic. My picnic table is beautiful. Second table has been sanded, just needs the finish put on. That is very satisfying and contributes to the house and yard appearance. I'm on a roll and hope to keep up the work. Putting our garden in is a big production. There are really two gardens. One has a variety of vegetables, another is strictly potato. We produce all needed to make our own salsa and enough potatoes to last until the middle of winter and beyond.
That's amazing too you're keeping busy and productive. Did you actually make the tables yourself, or are you putting the finishing touches on them?
I'd love to have a big garden one day, but I would need more space and a tiller. Last summer I must've spent 10 hours digging one by hand. The kind where you take a shovel and dig up a big piece of earth and shake out the grass, one square foot at a time. This summer that patch got some grown over with grass, I know it'd take many hours to prepare it again, so instead I used some of our flower beds. The one right in front will have a few squash plants planted between some yellow and pink flowers--didn't pay attention to their names--and there's a big square flower bed right behind it where I planted 4 tomato plants, some zucchini seeds, and 4 eggplants. In another bed on the side, I planted cucumbers and swiss chard (which might be too late to plant, but we'll see).
Do you have a tiller?
I have dug up many gardens by hand and shovel. Now THAT is hard work. My hats off to you, many will not do that. Guess you want a garden more than they do! When I do that, well, I don't need to do that anymore, but when I did, my garden always ended up smaller than I first envisioned it, only because the work is completely exhausting!
After years and years of digging up dirt with a shovel, hoeing it, and then using that 3 pronged looking thing to bust up clumps and smooth the dirt, he came home with a mini cultivator from a garage sale he went to on Saturday. He looked at me sheepishly and said, "Is this what you've been asking for all these years? I found one." I just about cried. :lol: Maybe now I'll be able to get back out there with help like that. :)
Oh Dymph, I'm gonna cry. That was so sweet of him. Sure hopes it gets the job done my sweets! Hope you sleep well tonight. Sure do. :grouphug:

It is the little things in life that get us through, isn't it? I'm hoping and praying to hop on the sleep train soon and ride it the whole night through. Thanks for the encouragement! :grouphug:
I'm sure glad these picnic tables are turning out for you. Nothing better than a job well done. ;)
Yes, they are. I have redone an entire dining room set. Table, chairs, buffet China cabinet...that was a huge job, but I got it done, for this house. We've been here 7 years. It's really looking nice. It was worth the trouble. Had a lot of potèntial.
I'm dying to refinish furniture! One of these days...
Good evening. Really. It is warm, green, and balmy. Love this. Sorry MLG, don't mean to rub it in, but it had to be said. Come on in, tell mama how your day went. Got my second coat on picnic table top. Steel wooled it to get the little bumps and hair and what not off, wiped it down and put on a generous second coat. Should get it done by tomorrow.
Now I'm eyeballing the table in the garage. An old dining room table. Back when they used varnishes that did not handle water well. Full of stains. Gonna sand it down and put a nice finish on it. I told you...I'm on a roll. See?
I know it says go to bed. But, don't go now, unless you need to be up by 430. Just sayin, you'll be wandering around wondering what to do with yourself. That's usually what I get for going to sleep too early. So. Do not go to bed too early. You hear me? Besides, you'll just meet Dymphna in the 4:30 thread, wandering around. She'll want to yak and you know you won't be falling back to sleep again.

Yep, that's me! I'm a yakker. :rofl: Of course you would be the first one in my life to call me that, but who's counting? You're on a roll, so maybe...
And for the wanderers, be sure to identify yourself as soon as you see me or if I ask, while I'm out on my rounds. I'd hate to be the one who helps you meet your Maker because I thought you were a coyote or a Chupacabra or some weird thing. ;) 8)

I'll be up for a while. Kept busy today, but had an emotional challenge in the afternoon. So I'm indulging myself tonight, drinking
modest amounts of whiskey and eating little debbie oatmeal snacks.
By the way, why are you all dealing with so much chronic insomnia? Me it started in January with my low back injury, worsened from the facial nerve injury, and became hellish when Ambien didn't do the trick. Now the sleep is somewhat stabilizing, and Melatonin gets me to sleep.
Hi Chris. I have been sleeping pretty well lately. Happy to report. Dymphna, my friend, has not had normal sleep since 4 years old. Mine comes and goes. ?ately melatonin has been useful. Have a good sleep tonight. Wish I had a cookie in my house.

That's good. Yeah that pic you posted a few days ago got me worried--the one of someone falling out of bed.
I bought some more melatonin today. 5mg tablets. But couldn't find the timed-release. Maybe they sell it at Wholefoods.
Dymphna, you have a sleep disorder of some kind? since you were little??

Open now!! Come and tell me about your day....again. Me, I went to therapy and they worked my shoulder every which way. Very gently, but thoroughly. Actually hurt in a good way. Not complaining, I have a very good therapist, same one I used after my stroke. He has done therapy for TOS patients, but not one with arterial involvement or one that actually had the surgery due to Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. Really, the only difference with a patient like me is the effects of the surgery make me more likely to have much more pain upon exercise. Just a bit slow going.

Kudos Carleene. You made it to the starting line--ie first day of therapy. Before you know it, your arm will be--more or less anyway--restored. There are good sleeping positions for TOS, btw, mainly avoiding putting your arm above the head. check out youtube
Me I woke up somehow at 11:30am. Slept 12 hours. Maybe it was the 5mg of Melatonin or adding Valerian root, or part of my insomnia recovery. Decided to take a break from the world for a day. Back in the saddle tomorrow.

Thanks Chris, yes, I'm on my way. And you, well, you too are on your way. If you can sleep, you can heal. Saddle tomorrow? Sounds good! Yup, on your way! This is good.

I was wondering if that had started yet. It always amazed me how those physical therapists could be gentle in such a non-forgiving way. Every time Dad ended up in the hospital or had another surgery he had to do pt. He would get mad, cuss like a sailor, and do everything he could to get out of it, but he put the work in and it showed. Mom otoh, would do the work while she was at their office, but wouldn't do any of it at home. And it showed. I sneaked into one of Mom's sessions once to see if I could figure out how to help her after she had knee replacement surgery. The PT, the same man that had been working with Dad for years, was probably one of the kindest, most gentle men I had ever met. He picked up on what Mom was doing, or rather NOT doing, right away and nailed her with it. He had the patience of Job with Dad (I prayed so hard for that man!), but he knew just how to nudge Mom, while she was in the office. A few months later, I went back in to watch Mom. I was so frustrated with her because I knew she wasn't doing her exercises at home. The PT told me to come in after about 10 minutes of her being in there and to just watch for a little bit before announcing my presence. I couldn't believe it! Even without her doing her exercises at home, he had her walking up steps, turning around, and even had her doing squats! I wanted to cry! I noticed that he was very gentle yet firm with her. I sure admired his ability to know what people needed in order to help them help themselves. It takes a special kind of person to do that kind of work. I jokingly asked him once if he ever got frustrated and went home and beat his kids. He looked me straight in the eye, and in all seriousness said, "no, not yet", and winked. ;) :lol:
I sure hope your pt is like this man, Carleen. You too Ches. He was a real blessing to me.

Kind and gentle yes, but calls me on, encourages and praises effort. That's all they ask for. Effort on our part.

Yes very much like that man. Very patient but focused and determined to make progress. Makes you want to go home and continue the work he did in the therapy session. He inspires motivation, yet is empathetic if you've had a bad week. He is gentle, but effective.

I don't know how you quoted me, without quoting me up there, but that was awesome! Anyway, you must be a very good patient. My Dad would go home and try to act as if he were already healed and Mom would go home and act as if she would never be healed, or even better. Good for you! I'll bet you are exhausted.
Yes, the tired I feel is from stretching and working areas that have not been worked since my surgery. I do everything I can at home. Everything my body allows, but he knows how to get into places I don't know how to. Have you ever been in therapy dymph. If you have, you probably know what I mean. I'm certain Chris knows :) sent you a pm, but don't feel you must respond, besides it's getting late.
Dymph, I don't even know how I did what I did!

You have such a great attitude about this. Keep it up and you will be right as rain in no time flat. I've never been in therapy. I was supposed to go after my heart attack, but it never got coordinated with my schedule at the time. But I've helped people do theirs at home and watched what must have been hours of it. I don't know what it feels like, but I can just imagine. Here you go, you've earned it; :cheeseheadbeer: :pray3: 8)
PT and exercises are something the nurses and my caregivers do for mr at this point there isn't much they can do but keep my joints from contracting manage pain and maintain what little movement I have left
Also keeping me able to tolerate being upright and transfers
The effort is in letting my caregivers do this egicg is hard because of my PTSD and touch aversion my therapist is good with me I have had a lot who just work so fast it overwhelms me and I ended up having a flashback
I am not the only "neurodiverse" person at he day program so the therapists are pretty good at understanding
Well.....it's not early and not late. Why don't we call that midnight? Really. Midnight is just a prelude to morning. Someone want to give me guff over that? Bird, don't you agree? Dymph? Heinrich?

You poor dear. Your ptsd, it just wants to make you a victim all over again and again. Glad those therapists understand what your triggers are and are sensitive to your need to avoid them. That is quite a blessing. Hub's were so chaotic and it was hard to determine what would set him off. Some were no brainers, but if I had not been tuned in to mood shifts it would seem as though they came out of nowhere. People that did not know about this were floored when he cracked. Stunned. But normally, when tuned in, I could feel it coming, sense it like others sense a storm. Sometimes it would slowly build up. Other times it would hit like an amtrack train.
Ok. I get it. Everyone is in bed, right? It's Friday nite and you all are tucked in, squared away and drifting off. Ok. Now is certainly an appropriate time. You could have just slipped in for a "good night, Carleen." Well I tried. Right. No one wanted to Stop by. Thank you Munda, for at least poking your head in to say thank you. Thank you for your thank you.
Good nite all! :seeya: see you tomorrow morning. Soon I'll be all tucked in and squared away. God bless you with sweet dreams and refreshing sleep.
WAKE UP CARLEEN! Oh, sorry, I just wanted to say good night :D . Let me tuck you in again. Remember this is just a dream - you'll forget it in the morning.

Stinker! Sly thing you. No wonder I had a less than restful sleep! Do that again and I may just have a spray bottle with me and spray you. I might just do that!

Rats, I
hoped you would forget it in the morning. Guess I was taking a risk.
(I've been meaning to try a spray bottle on my cat, when she wakes me too early - not only by meowing (like a normal cat) but by scattering my things on the nightstand and scratching the wall. But it would get other things wet. And while I hear her I never actually
catch her at it.)
Next time I will try to be more considerate :D .
Open now! Non promises to behave herself. Still gonna sleep with my spray bottle. She could have a relapse.
(Thinking: I must have scared everyone away... They are not the Saturday night party type)
A quiet goodnight prayer for all: :pray1:
7:10 and time to consider which jammies, slippers and robe to wear tonight. Yup. Lots of time. Maybe a pic? Please?
So went out with daughters in-laws. Had a decent time. About 11 of us. Food good, but I ate 2 quasedillas and couldn't eat my main dish, which was a Cobb salad. Didn't even try. Just boxed it and came home. Was invited to daughters to have more visit and I pooped out. Tired. But had the pleasure of giving gift for her mil, which made me happy. This woman is the biggest gift giver I know. I can't compete and don't try. But the basket I put together has soup starters, chili starters, teas, bridge mix candy, Carolina nut company flavored pnuts, lemon cookies, garden gloves, amish blueberry jam, and things like that. A basket I would enjoy, so hopefully she would too.
So, orate, dymph, bird, how about that picture? Please?

Dear Non, hate to break your bubble, but you scare nobody. Now, you did surprise me the other night. Yes you did. But you are just so sweet and gentle, you can't even turn on water if cat in sink. Tee-hee! You probably want to be a meanie just to throw us for a loop, but I think that would be a stretch. It's not really in you, is it? Truth? Remember???? You tucked me in after barging in and you apologized. A real meanie, huh? We love you just as you are.
Oh, my sweet little Japanese Birdie. Thank you for the teddy. You won't miss it will you???

Yes, it is time. Time to get that rosary said. Time to finish those dishes. Time to let dog out one more time. Time let cat out one more time. Time to make your bed so you can sleep in it. Time to make that last phone call. Time to put that last load in the dryer. Time to eat that last cookie. Time to drink a glass of wine. Time to read the last chapter in book. Or time to post that post you've been thinking of all day. Time to post a picture in go to bed ;)
Yes, it is indeed time.
Too early to get ready for bed here.

It's dark here. No walks after 845. But, do enjoy your walk. Don't fall or anything. We may need your wee bit of sass for tonight's entertainment. We are a bit bored non. Are we bored? Or are we just boring? Let me know what chu think when you get back.
There are a whole lotta wees up in there ^^^ Carleen. No feeling lonely in that paragraph. ;) :)
How can a person be ready for bed ALL day long, right up until that millisecond before your head hits the pillow, and then BAM! W i d e A w a k e? How does that happen? Is it the act of leaning back sloshes all the awake juice back into your brain? All the little nerve endings get all fluttery at the thought of meeting the pillow? What is it? :eek:
Well, I figure it this way....without the we's in this thread there would just be me. It was the we'should that kept this thread alive. So....we it is, dymph.
Now, about your juices sloshing. It's not the juices my dear. It's the pillow. There is kinetic energy in that pillow of yours. Remove the pillow and sleep on the case. Let me know how that works for ya. I believe your pillow has stored up your body's energy. Then uses it against you. Pillows are like that.
Must be above H&B.
HOW ABOUT A SWEET PIC? PLEASE?
Here's a wee little pic for you Carleen. Are your other we's wee? :lol:

Of course! The pillow is the culprit. I should have recognized that after the ironing incident last October. I still think ironing the pillow case while it was on the pillow was a good idea. After all, I just wanted that one spot where my head lays to be wrinkle free. Pillow said he'd never forgive me. Now we have it - the rest of the story. Thanks Carleen! You are wise beyond your years. :cheeseheadbeer: 8)

It's after 9 here now too. I did enjoy my walk; it was another beautiful evening here. It's too late for sass (and I can't always pull it off anyway). I supposed it is good to be a little bored with the toil of the day when it is time for sleep, but no one here is boring.
Time to say my Rosary; I will add you all to my intentions. :pray3:
Good night.
Open up, just open this darn thread before I cut it! There now that's better.
So son went to dinner with his girl. I do think it's safe to say his girl. Still not public knowlege, but I trust you guys won't go blabbing. Right? Well dont. I was a bit afraid things were waning, so I was naturally happy to find out they were having dinner together tonight.
You can go to bed if you want but it's still bit early. Maybe a pic will do it for you! Somebody? I know this nightly request is getting old. Be patient and charitable. Mama needs a hand.
I'm so ready to be done with this day! The kids are just out of sorts lately. Not sure what the problem is, but we need a do-over and to regroup. Almost bed time, phew!
Mama's got the crazy's tonight!!

Munda, the day IS done. Done is the laundry, done is the schooling, done are the meals and snacks, done are the dishes, done is the rossry. It's all done. So yes, your day is done, Munda. Put your feet up and nurse the baby. Now she, I'm sure is NEVER done. BUT that is minor compared to all you've finished for the day!

My knight in shining armor came to my rescue this evening....husband is home and cooking dinner. I'm in my pj's, enjoying some quiet and a glass of wine. I love that man!
I'm here, watching the Yankees game with hubby but heading upstairs shortly...

We visited my mom tonight at her place in the country, and I almost made a fire in the backyard, which we love to do. To sit and talk and stare into the flames with a beer in your hand.
To do list made, evening supplements taken, long hot bath enjoyed, lights turned down, prayers said. Time for bed.
May the angels carry you to bed and lay you down on a soft bed of fresh sheets. May your breath slow and your eyelids gradually grow heavy, as the thoughts and worries of the working day take a long time out. To sleep. To sleep deeply. To sleep in a state of peace. May your dreams be sweet and pleasant, and when you awaken in the morning remember that each day is one step closer to eternal life, another opportunity in this short life to draw close to God.

Sorry, I'm just now seeing this. I'm home and OK! :seeya: Thank you for your prayers and concern my dear friend. :grouphug: Wonders have been worked and I thank God I'm not a man. I would have to hire a mechanic for this water pump deal. It's better to BE a mechanic than have to hire one! But that's his realm, not mine (yay!). I'll sit back and pray, bring him iced tea, make a wonderful meal, and be very appreciative. ;) :pray3:

Well, Chris, didn't work. Tossed and turned, as stomach churned!
OPEN UP!!!!! It is open!!!!! Who did not lock up last nite? Ok. Better day today. Not as painful, because of immodium. Don't lecture me about that nasty med. I am just a shadow of my former self. Time to turn it off or I'll be too weak to open this thread. Though I'd open early because I'll probably turn in early. So what did you all do today. Non walked. Dymphna, she searched the Web for Cinco DE mayo med for my stomach and by golly if she didn't find some!
Yeah, I still can't get over that. I'm glad it sounds like you are better. :cheesehead: I'll just look at you with a cheesehead instead of offering you a beer.

Thanks for your prayers, non, dymph. You had as much a hand in the upswing as any med. Two grueling weeks. Behind me!
So, the choir is practicing. We said our rosary with background music. Doesn't get better than that! Practicing for Mass and our procession and consecration to Our Lady of Fatima with enrollment into the brown scapular.

I don't know what I do. I just close my eyes. Let it go, if I can. So many nights I can count the hours only dozing in between.
7:04. Tread heads unite! It's a beautiful evening here!
It's a little chilly here. We'll be using the EB (electric blanket) tonight...
Watching the Yankees, heading upstairs in about 15 minutes...
Not into pro sports, except boxing, but........been having a riot watching old clips of Larry Bird playing basketball.
What historical period do you wish you could visit?

What historical period do you wish you could visit?
I would have to start with France in the 1660s, quickly moving on to Quebec, Canada. This was when my relatives moved to Quebec, Can. I would have like to have seen what was going on at the time in both countries.
OK bedheads! It's after 8. Time to gear up for a nice long sleep, God willing.
So, in a stall in my big barn, you will find 4 ducks, all female, and all brooding a huge clutch of eggs. I've never seen this before. They are squeezed together creating a down blanket over all the eggs. There must be 30-40 eggs in the huge nest of straw! I do believe we will have ducklings soon.
Hi dymph! :seeya: hope your day went well, I mean, ok, I mean, could have been worse...uh....how's your head?
How did you know I was here? Head still banging but seem to be hopefully through the barfing stage. Actually got to eat a couple of bites of supper. I am going to have faith that I will sleep tonight (faith, faith, faith...).
Sweet dreams my Peeps!
Weird stuff to be found in those cloud formations.

Dymph, thank you for the pic, and please make sure you leave nothing undone, so hubby doesn't wake you up doing it! Close, and put laptop away, things like that.
How did you get to know me so well? It's kind of funny when Hubby tries to close my laptop while I'm sleeping. Kind of similar to the times that Dad would be asleep while watching TV and I would try to change the channel or turn it off and he would wake up saying, "Hey! I was watching that!" I will wake up when Hubby tries to shut my laptop, "Hey, I was reading/writing/listening to that!" :lol:
Wow!!! Almost 9. Time to.....!
Time to brush my teeth. The 4 female ducks are still laying together on the one large clutch of eggs. So stinking cute!

That is adorable. Such good Mommies ducks make!
So, you know Hubbies little Buddy, "J" that he is trying to mentor/scare straight? The 11 yo. A couple of weeks ago, bless his heart, he stank so bad Hubby had to cut their visit short. We figure that his clothes, both clean and dirty are probably in a pile in his room and the dogs lay on it on the nasty floor (they still won't let Hubby in the house because it's "too filthy', which aids this assumption). Grandma has called Hubby more than once to have him make J take a shower.
We decided to get him over here, wash his clothes, and have him take a shower. I got things as prepared as I could because Hubby was taking the lead on all of this. He took "J" to the local Goodwill Store and let him pick out 2 pair of pants and 3 shirts. Then off to Walmart for socks, undies, and shoes (the kid has a shoe fetish!). On their way back he informed J that Hubby was going to wash his clothes while J jumped into the shower. And not to "rinse off" or "wet your hair" like you have been. J said, "OK." He had fighting his Grandmother for over a week about this!
They then came over here, put everything in the washer and Hubby told him to jump in the shower. He showed J how to run the bathtub faucet and to turn the shower off and on. He then showed him which bath scrubbie or washcloth to use (Not Dymphna's!! I heard him emphasize. It was really cute), and shampoo and soap he could use. He must have jumped in not too long after that and we knew because he was singing. It was absolutely adorable! He was out just in time for his clothes to be dry so he got dressed and brought me my brush asking if I would brush his hair. I told him I didn't have any product to put into it since I don't use it and Hubby doesn't have and hair. :lol: "J" seemed very concerned about that because, well, doesn't everybody put stuff in their hair? He asked me how I kept mine so nice without putting stuff in it and told me he would bring me some of his Sister's since she had an "over abundance". Since mine looks so nice without it, surely it would look better with it. :doh: :laugh:

No, I loved the duck story! My Disney-addled brain just pictures them sitting there, one is secretly knitting, gossiping about the other animals in the barnyard. "Did you hear what Ram said about his girlfriend last night?" "What! Ram has a girlfriend? How long has this been going on?" "Oh, you didn't know? Oh yeah, Carrie, from 2 stalls down seems to be his latest." "What about Gemma and the lambs?" "That was so last season. He doesn't care about her but he sees the lambs on a regular basis." "Sure he SEES them, they only live 4 stalls away on the other side. But does he DO anything with them? That's the sign of a good ram Father." :lol: :crazy:
7:36. Time for ummmmmm, no....not that,......time for.....already did that, ummmmmm, time to put on your......bedhead?
No, too soon. Time for......a glass of wine to celebrate....ummmmmm, munda's little guys birthday. Yep that's it!
🍷🍾Kids had sparkling grape juice. Time for rosary, cake, ice cream, and presents. Then, bed :cheeseheadbeer:
Went outside and what do you know? My last ewe finally had her 2 babies! We started thinking she was just fat!

You are most welcome. Sure wish we would hear something. Anything.
Anyway... Hubby had liver and onions for supper and it's just about ready to run me out of the house! I used to like them, until I got pregnant. The smell of it has made me sick ever since. I can eat it all right, it's just the smell. I know that because there's a little old lady who just loves Hubby to death. Every year before she and her Husband drive to Arizona for the winter, she invites us over for supper. Always liver and onions. Fortunately she really does a bang up job of it. It's great because I don't have to smell it all day and it's ready to eat when we get there. Then I whip up the dishes and we are out of there! :lol:
I didn't realize that Mother's Day was this Sunday until tonight. :doh: Have any of you bought flowers online before? I did just a few minutes ago and about keeled over! I sent some to MIL and some to my new Goddaughter's Mother. You would have thought I bought the plot of land to grow them and hired the crew to tend them and paid for their DWIs! Holy cow! $50 worth of flowers turned into over $100 just because of taxes, delivery, and other fees. Insanity! #momsbspensive Now my head AND my wallet hurts! :lol:

No, I loved the duck story! My Disney-addled brain just pictures them sitting there, one is secretly knitting, gossiping about the other animals in the barnyard. "Did you hear what Ram said about his girlfriend last night?" "What! Ram has a girlfriend? How long has this been going on?" "Oh, you didn't know? Oh yeah, Carrie, from 2 stalls down seems to be his latest." "What about Gemma and the lambs?" "That was so last season. He doesn't care about her but he sees the lambs on a regular basis." "Sure he SEES them, they only live 4 stalls away on the other side. But does he DO anything with them? That's the sign of a good ram Father." :lol: :crazy:
Dymphna, you sure know a lot about what goes on in my barns. Did you not leave, as I believed, after the barn dance? Are you lurking somewhere around my farm? Well, girl, I am speechless. A regular lurky lurkerton.
Well, did YOU know about Carrie and Ram? And I don't mean watching Ram carry Carrie off from out your window. Haahahah! That was hard to type, much less say! Lurky lurkerton indeed! Can I help it if your farm is on my route for rounds? No. Can I help it when the geese are too honking loud when they don't think anyone else is around to hear them? Um...no. Nice try Madame C (That's what the geese call you with the utmost air of respect). Now move along, there is no loitering here. ;)
I guess I should say thanks for taking your time to watch over the farm here. Really. No one else has volunteered. So lurk all you want Dymph, but just remember what happens on the farm stays on the farm, unless I say otherwise!
Wow Carleen! My post sure came across as very harsh. I'm so sorry, I sure didn't mean it that way. I have got to start checking for tone better than I have. :-[

Oh Dymph, all was said tongue in cheek!
Time for bed for Dymphna, I think she has some travelling to do. Her concert, remember? Her luncheon with the Stars of the concert. Hopefully Dymphna will enlist someone else to do her rounds tonight. She really needs her beauty rest. Well I need more "beauty rest" than her, but I know she wants to look her best at her concert. :seeya: Have fun Dymph!
I can't make it past about 7:30 these days. :-\ So I'm starting to wind down.
Gotta go to bed early, too. Big celebration tomorrow. Have to stop by bakery on our way to church and see to setting up for a reception. Plus, need to be at church by 9:30 at the latest. Takes me a bit of time to get ready.
Some bedtime reading:

Non, I try to stay away from heavy reading material for nitetime. But thank you ;)
Alright. Pace? Heinrich? Why stay away from this thread. Is it too girly? Well that's because too few men stop in and Ungirlify it. Come on and post funny jokes. I promise we'll laugh! And.....we won't correct your English, let alone your German. Wanna talk boxing? GGG, Jacobs, Cannelo, Kovalav, Ward...Hey In September GGG fights Cannelo. See, I can talk boxing. Klitchko.
G-nite everyone. Been a busy few days. I'll sleep like a rock. Hopefully. Hey the parish pastor believes just having the old Mass at his parish is making the parish a holier place. :)

Mary, you are off your coffee, and for good reason, I'm sure. Expect to look forward to bed all day long. Just sayin. ;)
I know...I know....it's early. Yep. it is. So, we can talk. You start.
I'm determined to make it until 8:00. I might have to employ a serving of ice cream, in order to stay awake. But I really want to go to bed.
Wow Bird, you used to stay up with the night hawks. You are now an early turner inner! What happened?
DYMPH? NON? ORATE? MUNDA? CHES? WHERE ARE YOU?
:seeya: hanging on to this day by a thread! Just finished dinner, and am settling the baby down. Everyone else is cleaning the kitchen. Early bedtimes for the kids tonight, so husband and I can work on my new-to-me book shelves. But, man, I'm so tired

I've a feeling it's not really help they are after. Maybe just seeing parents is the entertainment. Just bring your new zoom. Your upright transformer ambulator. That should keep their interest, Ches! Show them your master moves on that thing!

Munda, new to me bookcases are my favorite kind. Do you want me to refinish them? Are you going to paint them or anything? With everyone cleaning the kitchen you and hubby should have just enough time to discuss colors.

Tonight we are sanding them. Tomorrow, his goal is a coat of paint. We are just doing white. I would gladly have you refinish them for me :)
G-nite everyone. Lights out early here because we've been getting up earlier and earlier. We keep this up and soon were just going to get up, and put on a new pair of pajamas instead of clothes. Our life will be all about bed! My dog loves our new bedtime. Lazy dog.
Really? Is it that time already? Yes. It is time to jump into jammies. Final snack. Final phone calls. Final postings. Final as in....for this day. Think about it. What's so important you must do it tonight? Just relax. Take a load off your feet. Say some prayers. Meditate. Think about your blessings and all that's good in your life. Today was beautiful. Just lovely. Had a wonderful day with hubby. Just running around doing errands, saying rosary, buying my favorite frozen coffee drink, talking about family, praying for family, shopping for shoes and a few items of clothing, much needed summer clothes, sandals, and what a blessing it is to be able to just buy what's needed. By the way, my favorite second hand store closed. Bummer. Bummer bummer. Oh well, I'll find another place. It's just that it was so close and carried very good quality cllothing, supplied by the well to do of Hillsdale. I would so much rather buy second hand. Buying brand new is such a waste of monies...money I'd much rather give to others, or family.
Went to therapy. Beginning to gain strength in my shoulder and arm. Starting to be able to handle more weight in my right hand. Progress, much needed progress. Thanks be to God. God has been very good to me. :)
Good night, my good friends! Sleep well so tomorrow's troubles don't overwhelm you! A day without troubles is too much to hope for, so, rest up, the troubles will then just be irritants. Just hiccups when you're well rested. But when exhausted it takes so little to wreck your day. So my prayer for you, Dymph, Non, Ches, Munda, Orate, Martin, Little Mary, Miriam, Heinrich, Christina, Jaca, Angel, Christulsa, ......etc. my prayer is for a great nite sleep. Good sleep makes everything more bearable. So know someone has prayed for you. Me.

And you have mine, as meager as they are tonight. :pray3:
My dear Dymph, how's that head of yours. Any better....just as nasty as it was yesterday? :pray3:
I must turn in. It is past 1:30 and I will surely turn into a pumpkin. If I'm not already! G-nite all! Sure hope I'm not all crabby and snappish tomorrow and a penance to my husband!
I feel justified in popping in to say good night before my afternoon siesta....I'm indulging in a full-fledged, get-in-my-pj's nap....not just a piddly cat nap to perk me up for the afternoon. I'm going all in ;). nighty-night

C'mon! Turns out the baby had other plans, anyway, so I wasn't justified, either ;). She LOVES the hammock we have outside. It's her favorite place. She didn't want to sleep, but she was content to just relax and swing in there, so atleast I got some down time.

Ches, you have no idea how much I would love to go walking with you and Mrs C. My favorite time of the nite. To share a stroll would be such a delight. Truly wish we lived closer. Would love to meet your little family and actually get to know you guys. Having a meet up would be a great blessing. Somehow, someway, I hope God will grant us this opportunity. Of course I have my favorites on SD, but to meet any of the people here would be a sweet gift. I'll host the meet up. Really. I've only met SanAmbrosi, because he now attends our Mass and lives in our vicinity. A very pleasant man with a sweet wife and new baby. But, he is the only one I have made contact with. Oh.....am I holding you up? Get out there and ambulate!!!!! Before it's too dark!

Oh Ches, I do know there is no chance of a meet up and I am quite satisfied getting to know everyone on line, taking the bus around the country enjoying virtual road trips. My life was never one of indulging wants and whims, but that just enhanced my daydreams and imagined activities, camping and sightseeing. In truth we did all our fun times and partying at home. Money was for housing, food, cars , and improving our homelife. Because we had no toys, like boats, fishing gear, hunting gear, hiking gear, camping gear, ski gear, etc. because our money was just enough to survive with some dignity. We got very good at making home all it could be. Our barn loft was a basketball court/dance floor/social center. Our home was used as a retreat center, a church to accommodate visiting priests and their daily Mass obligations, we put up many high school students, some times a bus full, as they made their way out east or up to Canada, or to the March for Life. So, I never really needed to travel far for sweet experiences or meeting people. I'm all talk, lots of hot air. Pay no attention. Just me wishing.

I wish I could change the title of this thread. Seemed like a good idea at the time, but not now. I could have called it Evenings with Carleen....or.....Tired Yet?....or....IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN....or....Tell Me a Story....or .....Lights Out.....or....Don't Go to Bed. Anyway, open, so drop in and entertain me!
You can come join our patio party! Lately, every evening my husband and I sit on the back patio and chat about life. Tonight, the kids joined us and made it a party :cheeseheadbeer: we are wrapping things up, though, so hurry.

Goodness Dymphna, that would keep me up and awake! Do you keep watch, or just go to bed!? Are you brave or are you a worry wart. We have plenty of high winds and tornado sightings, but not very many actual touchdowns, so we usually just go about our business. Sometimes when it is real dramatic, I can get scared. Actually, not often, but sometimes I am scared! How about you Dymph?

Since my first love of this kind of weather started when I was little, I have no problem bringing a lawn chair out. However, I have had to go clean places up after a tornado has gone through, places like Greensburg or Chapman. Yes, I keep watch. I use that time to reorganize our supplies and kick any old ones out. I've had jobs, like at the prison, if the sirens sound, everybody had to go to the basement. Everybody. A couple of the girls and I found the old safe that they used for records and money. So, that was where you would find us.
But getting just plain ole scared? No, I don't remember ever being scared because we have trained every year since, well, ever for these things. Being prepared takes about 95% of the fear away. So 5% of me is afraid of one of those monsters coming through here like it did in Greensburg or like the one in Joplin, MO last year. That was a whopper! Anyway, that's about it. I especially don't like them when I have a migraine. I'm not on top of things like I should be. I just can't focus and lay down on the job. :-[ :wag: It just got really quiet. THAT freaks me out. They say it gets really quiet and then BOOM! You hear a freight train coming at you and then you're dead. Lights are back on thank you God and for all your prayers.
Did I just read that I'm too whiny to fly you over to Munda's? I know I haven't been around for a bit, but have you changed that much? :eek:

Today is done for the most part. How did you do? Did you do one thing right today? I have nothing to report. No falls. No great penances. Nothing to see here. How about the rest of you? Got anything to report?

I didn't fall either, when changing 2 overhead florescent bulbs in my bathrooms. It is a little tricky, because I don't have terribly good balance. It may have to do with breaking my back & neck 10 years ago; I tend to waver just a bit when I walk. I fall maybe a couple times a year - it used to be zero. I do bump into things a lot! I'm sure you have it worse Carleeen. I think I will have a handyman replace ceiling light panels and bulbs in my kitchen; I shattered a panel the last time I tried.
Now, once again,

Non, I am happy you did not fall. Really. As we get on in years, our falls beget worse injuries than when we were young and strong. I never saw myself at this age. It's like going backwards now. I feel a bit like a tipsy toddler. As a matter of fact, there are times I actually appear to be toddling, instead of walking.... especially on uneven ground. My walking path is very uneven ground, but that is good for me. I need to be able to traverse uneven ground without tripping. So, I choose my path instead of my treadmill. Plus, the sun and fresh air is good for me, and you, Non. So, I see you are still walking. Is that daily? Look at you, all motivated! So happy for you. Your diet and exercise plan is probably working wonders for you. Good for you. You're gonna be a new woman! Soon you'll be tackling those chores you've been meaning to get to!
Hey!!!!!! Guys, Dolls! Must gather the chillins, and put them to bed. Hang on, we have to pick out a book. Everyone needs a story before bedtime. And someone has to read it, right? So, I guess thats me... big mama will read to you! Now, get going. Pick it out. Please, no business journals. That's just boring.
G-nite my peeps
G-nite, Miriam, cgraye, parresia, dominus.

It's past my bedtime too. G-nite.

That sounds good Dymph! I'll take two. On the rocks. Just saw this in time. Would have hated to miss this!
Good night all. See you for coffee in the morning!
Come all, tell me about your day. I had a very quiet day. It was pleasant, even if a bit dull.Washed out animal waterers and enjoyed being outside. Warm and balmy. Good day for putzing around the yard.Beautiful Mass, nice lunch out with friends. Yes, I have a few....friends. Not many. Don't really go out of my way for a social life, though there are many good people at my church.

You're right. Social life, for me, happens at my house. People love it here, and I love having them here. I don't go out much or socialize at the homes of others, they come here. All manner of activities available here. There are no campfires for those that live in town...no animals, hayrides or large parties in town. We happen to have the space, plenty of sleeping space. Not bragging, it was all God's providence. We found a dump on 5 acres with a big house and little house. Put the work into it, and it turned out lovely. Had so much potential. But it was quite a mess for most that looked at it, it was hard to see past the garbage! Bought it on land contract...paid it off in 5 years and sitting pretty.
We figured God supplied, so why not make it available to others. Seems everyone agreed, because when a party is suggested, it ends up here. So I guess my social life is busy. It's just that I don't need to go out for it.

You all heard the lady, PARTY AT CARLEEN'S HOUSE!!!
I have to edit this. Somehow I learned how to hit enter on the left side of the keyboard. I have to try this again.
How bizarre! I think hitting the tab button twice really fast does it. Let's see. Nope.
Anyway, sorry for the distraction. :-[ Party at Carleen's house. She's got room for us all (I call bed in bedroom of the guest house first!!). Martin and the boys can have the barn. You ready for a blow out Carleen?
You bet dymph! Since it's virtual, we can party all nite, right? And the wine, beer, liquor will never run low, nor will we run out of ise. Foo? No problem....just think it and it appears! Being a virtual party it will be whatever we wish it to be. If I get tired I can just think bed! And you surely can have the small house, pick a few gals to share it with. There are 2 bedrooms and pull out couches. Come on...let's get going!
My virtual self is partying with Dymph....my real self is turning in. Stinking tired I tell you! Stinking. Tired. Nite. Oh, turn the light off after I am done partying. Thank you.

That's the cool thing about being viral. When you get the electric bill, just tear it up! How good would that feel? :cheeseheadbeer:
Nitey Nite 8)
sounds like a sweet deal to me! something to be said for having lots of space to have friends over and do parties. My son's birthday is coming up and I asked him what kind of birthday party he wants this year, and he just said, "Seige weapons." that crackedme up.. so I think we are going to try a seige weapons themed birthday party I have 6 weeks to come up with some ideas usually we do a birthday party at the local sprayground / playground and reserve some picnic tables.
I am thinking water baloon catapults of some sort. would be easier to do on a big property with a garage and a workbench though
weather was perfect today, got to spend time outside with my family and my sons friend and his parents we took the boys to the waterfront went to park that has a playground, got to watch my son swing on the monkey bars and the boats going by. it is weird going out in public being around "normal people" after going on the vent.. still getting my bearings.
Ches it sounds like a good day. And yes you may have sons birthday seige weapon war here. I will not serve any booze, I promise.
Ok. Sorry. Shoot me. I forgot to open the door for my peeps. Mama left you all out in the kinda cold. Now...it's time for bed, or azy boy recliner, or couch , or pull out couch, etc. Good night all. Sweet dreams.

That's a lot of sleeping choices. :huh: Whatever gets you to sleep?
Me, stretched out on the bed reading SD with dog curled up next to me. I've been recovering from the extreme insomnia these past weeks. Usually fall asleep 10 or so.
Guten nacht.
Lazy boy, not azy boy. Anyway, I sleep in my bed with a fan for white noise. Need that fan. Sometimes I take benydryl. Tonight I will sleep. Verybtìred. That helps. Sometimes no matter how tired I am, I just know I won't sleep. That's when I take the benydryl. Good night Chris, prayed for you today.
Time for bed! I was busy, looked at clock, saw how late and jumped in here to tell everyone to get ready for bed. Just do it, or you will find yourself wandering the hslls, no one to talk to. They will all have gone to bed. Besides we need our beauty rest. Right? Well of course I'm right. Now, go brush those teeth. Jump into jzmmies, say prayers, read for a bit..?then lights out!
Dymph, you hear me? Try, just try. Bird, Ches, Nion, Matta, Chris, Munda, Kaese, Jaca, Martin. How are you, Martin? Any better at all? :pray3:
May we be transported tonight in our dreams to Netherland for a night of blissful fun, laughter, food fights, and adventure. May we dream and may our dreams be like the rejuvenating ones we had as a child, that make you smile and stretch in contentment as you wake up in the morning.
Hurrow? Home? Now? Hurrow Carleen?

How did you know I was out? I went to adoration and prayed for your sorry butt, my dear friend! Jesus said ok, just give me a minute. I'll get to her.
Oh, and go to bed if you know what's good for ya. At least be in bed by 11. That is a good time unless you are up to mischief!
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,

Naughty thread! You were supposed to tell me to "go to bed" (or at least head in that direction) an hour ago. Now I have things to do before I can even start winding down..
Well maybe I can rush and make it by 11PM. But with all that rushing, I hope I can sleep.
I have some great Classical Lullaby music. Maybe that will help.
Goodnight, everyone. Goodnight, forum.
Happy Ascension Thursday when we wake.
Oh, non, you can tell time. Time be responsible and put yourself to bed. just sayin...
Yes, do go to bed. You won't regret it. You will feel so good in the morning if you don't stay up until the wee hours! I know this....and so do you, whether you know it or not :P :-\

What the heck are you doing up this late? Brain spins, frustration, anxiety, pain, or just needed to, oh!, um, needed a drink of water. Yes that's what I meant to say. /whew!
Now off to bed young lady. You are still healing and need your rest. I've got this covered, you don't need to be anxious. ;) 8)
Thanks dymph, don't know what I'd do without you!
Late again. Well at least Dymphna is getting ready for camping and not pressing her face against our window like yesterday! So, anyway. Jump in jammies, mama tell you a story about murder in the goose house.
Ok. This is ridiculous, just go to bed. How else you gonna get that gorgeous bed head? See. Now, get along. Ok. I will, in a minute. Oh, no you don't my girl. Now! Ok.
haven't been here for a long while. Good night everybody.
:)
No one will think less of you if you throw in the towel early tonight. Yes they will, they just will. Now listen to me young lady....you will feel great. Besides, who cares what others think. I know, but..... No, no buts about it. Just do it. You're not my boss! Watch your mouth little girl. I'm sorry. Well...you ought to be! Are we done now? Ok. Tuck in, say your prayers. Tomorrow is a new day. ME TALKING TO MY INNER CHILD.
What a rebellious inner child. Have to deal with this silly little one every night lately. I find her dozing off as she tries to post with eyes so bleary and heavy lidded, she can barely hit the post button. Well I'm done. If you find her here running around with a second wind, would you please, scoot her off towards bed. Really, I just can't deal with her anymore!

OK Carleen, I found your beautiful, sassy, and need I say energetic little one, trying to guard the goose house. It seems she is very concerned about them. I've got 2 of my best officers guarding either side. However, if something requiring their services comes up, they will go take care of the situation and then come back. Hopefully she's worn out and will sleep without further frustration for you. ;) 8)

Nightmare??? Oh you poor child! Do not turn dark, Chris. Just put the nightmare in Mary's hands. She will calm your spirit if you let her. Put on your armor, and say your St. Michael prayer. Which I'm sure you did. Use the hail Mary like a mantra, until you get sleepy. If this doesn't work, go get a benadryl or 2. That, plus prayer, may just do the trick. That's what I would do. This is hard at 3am, but worth it or you will toss and turn for the rest of the night.

Good night all. Good to see you Carleen. Are you having trouble sleeping somewhere that isn't your bed? I hope not. Maybe if you dream you are in your bed at home, it will make it easier. Prayers for you all!
Been sleeping fine, dymph. It's just that I can't get here until late. Not to worry. Wash your feet. :D
Gosh darn...
I need to get into the habit of going to bed early. So hard...
You'd think it'd be easy for a recent boarding school grad, but no...
Gnite, all. That's it.
Opening up for ya'll. Just drop in, get your favorite beverage from the bar. Put your feet up. Tell me about your day. I am actually homesick. Had a great visit with dad, the main purpose for coming up North. Enjoyed seeing family and friends. But tomorrow can't come soon enough. That's my gripe. How bout you?

Welcome to my life ;D
OPEN!!!! Hey....wipe your feet, please. Dymphna puts a bit of effort into keeping the place clean. She frowns on goose poop, duck poop, sheep poop. I know this. And mud. You may not bring in poop, but there is plain Ole dirt. We can not, in good charity, put that on her. I mean the work, not the poop.

Hey, I know......let's tell poop stories! Or.....is that too gross?
My 5 year old nephew would be happy to oblige you :) :)
Ok. And what does that say about me?
Change of venue. No,poop stories. I know my audience. How about....dreams?????? Now this does not have to be gross. Depends on which dreams we choose to reveal.
Told this before, but it's a good one. Dreamed of a mansion. Dreamed again of same mansion. Dreamed again and again, same mansion. Each time I dreamed of this mansion, I went deeper and deeper, discovering rooms. One night I dreamed of same mansion, finally reaching the last room. Opened the door....and there was a.......zombie! I kid you not. Never had the mansion dream again. I was so disappointed. It should have been something more profound than a Hollywood looking zombie.
Ok. So I put everyone off with potty talk. Ok. Won't happen again. Mary, you can keep your 5 year old nephew. I'm sure he's a good boy.
Going to sleep because I am in go to bed I my bed, so all I need do is close my eyes. G-nite!

Chris with all those go go's, you'd think Ida been able to have gone gone to sleep last night. Thank you for trying I guess it was hopeless.
Yep. Time. Time to tell mama about your day. I will advise and ream you over coals, if need be. Sound like fun? Well, that's up to you. If you manage to make me laugh, there is no reaming. Deal? Come on. Don't be babies. Trust me. I have your best interests at heart.
Go to bed....now open. Wipe your feet!
Yawn...... ;) ;) ;)
Mary....may I join you in a sweet inviting yawn?

I can't run. I only have 1 leg that works......must endure. Unless...you bring that wild looking horse and let me ride behind you. Of course there is a bit of a dilemma with that. I couldn't climb on. I just know it. No, no thank you Mata, my place is here. After all it is my thread. *sniff* :vomit:

I see you Spera! G-nite. Sweet dreams.
Open. Yes, you may come in and pour yourself a stiff one, a coffee, lemonade, soft drink, wine....it's all here. Whatever suits your palate. And please, if I'm in bed, before you leave, at least wash your own cup. Chris may bring some of that pizza he's stuffing himself with to help disassociate from his pain.
PHEO! PHEO! I made your drink for you. The least you could do is come get it. Really. Some people. And he looks so holy and sweet in his pic. Some people.
Ha, well the only thing St Matthew and I seem to have in common is the name. I'm working on it though.
An iced coffee would be great about now. It has to be better than Toronto's tap water. And even more so when it's tap water out of this hotel room's bathroom sink of, at most, questionable cleanliness.

Oh my....you came.....well I guess......I was wrong about you, Pheo. And you are thirsty as all get out. Sit down any where you please. Akavit refuses to build us a coffee table, did you know that? Just sayin.....So 2 shots expresso, one shot amaretto. Let's see....ice? Of course ice! Silly ninny. Oh, not you, Pheo! Nope nothing silly bout you. No siree. Look at you lookin so noble. So humble. There now. How's that? We good?

Oh, Chris, how very kind of you! Too bad Mata isn't with us tonight! Oh, he may still come sweeping in.....but this time I'm gonna have to tell him to tie his &*#% wild stallion outside! Maybe Pheo would enjoy some pretzels.
Iced coffee and chocolate-covered pretzels would be most welcome. Thank you!
Oh, and don't worry about my steed. I left him outside eating the flowers.
Open. Tired. Had a great day...baby toddlers little boys= big mess, but it can wait until tomorrow. Right? I mean, daughter cleans up, picks up, but still.......when 3 of her 6 kids are crying and ready to sleep in car on the way home, I just tell her go, we'll finish. Just found out she is on number 7. Due date to be announced. 3 daughters expecting at the same time.
Bringing out a tray of ice cold peach vodkas and Belgian chocolates to celebrate Carleene finding out she has another grandchild on the way. Plus 5 mg of melatonin for anyone who wants one.
GO TO BED NOW OPEN!!!!! Tell mama! Mammy listens to your predicaments and trials. Aches and pains. Including heartaches and humiliations. Just walk in. The couch is there for you to stretch out on.
So.....gonna try to sleep by 10. Took my benydryl. Really tired, can't risk NOT sleeping. I know, it's probably abuse, but I need the sleep. Between that and the muscle relaxant for the pulled muscle from therapy, I should be in la-la land by 10...doncha think?
So my 36 yr. old 5'8 son is still dating his 6ft. 2 girlfriend. May be a keeper. Lookin good! She is the choir director who joined his choir and converted to Catholicism last Oct. Well before they began dating. She works with the women. He works with the men. Funny thing. We have 3, plus my son, choir directors in our choir. Two just volunteer Their time.

Forgot to clarify.....they are not DUE at the same time. One in the summer, two in early winter.
CHRIS, MATA, it seems someone forgot to do dishes, and lock up last night. Oh, don't feel too bad. Dymphna, my friend, stopped in and caught Non Nobis cleanin up after you guys. Non was good enough to not tattle. But really.....please be more aware of these issues. Anyone could come in, drink too much, and die of alcohol poisoning. Dymphna, my friend, refuses to pick up dead bodies....not even dead animals. Therefore, in the past I have had to do this. My freezer has no more room. Geesh! Even compacting is no longer helpful.

Please....come in. No poop talk, no dead body talk. Not here. Not tonight. Serious business. We almost lost it today. Thanks to quick work by Kaese, we've been saved from boredom. An insidious tool of the devil. You guys could have gotten in a TV jag. Close call. Thanks Kaese.

Chris, maybe a better job for you could be caterer. Really, have you thought about that? Huh? Frog legs are good. But Mata might throw up. How about a nice float, or some kind of ice cream treat. But, don't let me sway you. If you are feeling led to eat frog legs then make them. My brothers used to get their own, up North. They don't scare me. I just prefer ice cream. And yes Chris, didn't you know the site was down?
Chris, have you been telling us the truth about what you are eating? Or is this all virtual? Been trying to figure that out. These are not the ordinary foods one just happens to have around the house. Just sayin.

Ha! Ya know you had me until tonight. Then it hit me....I'll bet Chris's foods are virtual. Who keeps this stuff around? Well, just go on in and pour yourself your favorite drink, Chris. Since this is virtual, I'll be up all nite. I'm hungry. Got any ice cream for dessert?

It's somewhat normal in the Oklahoma area. The commercial fishermen that used to go out for catfish (actually saw a 130lb catfish they brought in once) on Lake Oolagah showed us some really great spots for bullfrog gigging.
I'm more in favor of strawberry ice cream sundaes right now. Fresh strawberries are really good right now. Boil them down with a little water, sugar, and just a touch of balsamic vinegar. Let them cool, get some awesome vanilla ice cream or an angel food cake, throw in some whipped cream (the kind you whip yourself), add your strawberries, and wha la! Awesome yumminess! *sigh

Seriously had you? Doh. Said like Bart Simpson. Thought you knew. I do have a mint plant in the garden but no Vietnamese eggroll wrappers. Ice cream? I make homemade but low carb high fat. Egg yolks and whipped cream. What kind? Mint chocolate chip! I see Ches online. Wish he'd join us.

Sounds wonderful Chris. Ill take some homemade ice cream. Strawberry as Dymph, above, suggested. Ches might be too tired to join in. But we will think hard about him and it will be like he has joined in the fun. I hope there is ice cream in heaven....you know.....for Ches.
If we make it to heaven we'll have to have our own SD banquet to celebrate with Ches at the head of the table.

Strawberry jam works fine with the exception of the fact that fresh ones are oh, so good right now! You make me wonder how a peanut butter sandwich would taste with real strawberries on it. Hmmm Can you tell I've got strawberry brain?

sorryfornot responding to PMs to chris anyone else i havent responded to. fatigue is really bad and i am tryng to write back. also talking to therapist which is mostly writing it out and some skye sessions but its a lot of correspondence so that takes a lot of my "writing chi" lately
but he is really good and knows a lot about the type of issues i have which is great
i dont think i have had frogs legs are they kosher
tonight my soon to be 7 year old son fell asleep all cuddled up next to me watching a movie. i'm sure he'll be kicked out at some point but right now he seems pretty cozy. had a busy day playing outside. Was too hot for me to go out but they went to the sprayground and he had lots of fun playing with all the sprinklers and fountains and stuff. he was thoroughly tired out. The baby isnt a big fan of water yet i think he is going to take awhile.

No worries. When you get time to respond even short response. But I'll still say what's up.
Childhood is the gift of life. Playing, fun, no worries. Magical time. Glad your spending more time at home with the kids.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say frog legs aren't kosher but they're actually quite good. Like dark chicken meat but a little fish like taste too.
After Mass tomorrow (hopefully I'm well enough to go) we may go to our favorite Chinese buffet which has frog legs. I can upload some photos. :)
Good night all. I keep hearing the tick tock of my bedside clock.

That did it. Absolutely love the picture you have of the tornado across the top. If it looks this good, surely it is the same inside. It's on my agenda of things to read. :thumbsup:
According to Jewish dietary laws frogs are not kosher. No amphibians are. Or did you all mean that euphemistically? Because frogs are fine for Catholics on abstinence days.

Ches, thank you for dropping in. Not a day goes by when I don't pray for you and wonder what the day has for you. Love to hear from you whether you're grumpy or cheerful. What you describe is so sweet, so ordinary, dad and boy sharing space. Almost makes one think you are ordinary, while you are anything but ordinary in many ways. I can just see son snuggled up close, probably messy hair and slightly dirty feet. Nice. :D
Ok, so who's around? Sorry, but we're a little low on beer around here. You know, the beer tasting party today at my place......well, so maybe we borrowed from the bar here. Don't worry, we'll stock up again. And yes dymph, fat tire is a common one around here. Couldn't say what it's like. I drink hard cider or vodka with tonic and cherry juice.
Well, go to bed is now open!

10:20 CST here. Is that real beer or virtual beer?? Lol. A real beer tasting party huh. Just did late night rosary walk in the moonlight followed by avocado and Turkey snack per Perevangelicas once upon a time suggestion. Keeps blood sugar more stable while sleeping, So less likely to wake up. Wonder how she's doing? Had wife's Filipino relatives drive through town today, stopped for SSPX Mass and dinner.

Yes, we CAN open early. OPEN!!!!!!!
Alright gals and guys. No pushing shoving or smashing faces again the window. Especially the last. YUCK! Poor Dymphna, Non, they work so hard helping me keep this place clean. Oh....new rug by the door. Use it. This isn't a barn.
Chris, it's time you sweep in, isn't it? Mata doesn't want to get stuck here with the women. Well, I mean woman. You know.....big mama. You really don't need to be very big to be big mama. Mom's are a big deal, that's all. Dad's too, I know but it seems mom's carry a lot of power when it comes to making or breaking a child's psyche.Of course dad's do too, of course, but I'm just explaining about big mama.

Are they spicy?
I never know how to answer that question. :lol:

Let's see... If you like spicy food, then no, they're a bit bland. But hey, there's some hot sauce in the fridge. Help yourself. On the other hand, if you can't handle spicy food, then yes, there are some chili peppers in the salsa and guacamole. Just stick to the tacos, don't add any
pico, and you'll be fine. :)

See, how hard was that? Hubby likes to tell everyone that table pepper is too spicy for me, which is true, embarrassing, but true. So should I ask if they are spicier than pepper? He likes ghost pepper and scotch bonnet type of spice. I get the hiccups just smelling his food. :lol:

Oh, dear... There might even be a little ground pepper in the chicken. I'm sorry, Miss Dymphna.

Hey Chris. I don't know that I could even come up with 20 questions, much less for a game. How do you play?
I think of an object. You have to guess what is in 20 questions. Up front tell you its size and basic materials its made from. Others can join in. I'll think of an object now if others want to play. Its small enough to fit in a shoebox and is made of plastic and metal.

My oh My! Please don't leave the pepper off on my part. If I have a choice, I'll leave it,, but if it's already thee? No problem! No worries!!
long frustrating day. I went to the day program and apparently I bit one of the nurses. she put her hands in my mouth to do oral care (which they do every few hours). this is really triggering and I had a flashback which always happens, every time. and I don't remember biting her but apparently I bit her finger or something. wasnt something id ever do intentionallly. So apperntly she cmplained to someone and the other nurse was like "Yeah that's why I use the swabs. he bites down on the swabs, he's going to do that to your finger too." Then speech therapist and OT came to me talking about to "work on oral defensiveness." Facility called my wife at work, which interrupted one of her meetings and made for an interesting conversation for her coworker to overhear, and it ended up on the chart that got sent home which my mom read...so now everyone knows that I bit someone and asked me questions about it and at this point i just am tired dealing with it. and tired of people sticking stuff in my mouth multiple times a day too

Hate when that happens. They may have to quarantine you to make sure you don't have rabbies. And I hope that nurse is up to date on her tetanus shot. Lol. Seriously though that's just a reflex from infancy, for the mouth to clamp down on something.
Wanna play 20 questions Ches. I'm up for a while

:( Now that is a frustrating day. People are probably trying to help, and a little frustrated themselves, but they don't know what you are going through, and don't treat you with as much respect as you deserve. Hope things go better...

O Ches, sounds like a report from school. Calling wife......sad. Wish I could help more than prayer, which I certainly did for you today. Hope today was a better day. Wish I could absorb some of the humiliation for you. Instead I can give consolation. You did not set out to bite anyone. Maybe teeth brushing can be done before you go, so you do not have anyones, but wife's hand in your mouth. You're a good man who had a bad day.
Bringing out a tray of white wine and freshly harvested batter deep fried zucchini flowers.
Anybody up for playing 20 questions?
Going to bed Chris. Sorry. Would love to play, but I'm fried. Besides, you don't want a crab in the Good Morning thread, do you? And besides again, if I don't get the ball rolling and pointed in the right direction (bed), you may stay up all night. You all just need a gentle nudge from mom. Did you say white wine? I may just take one with me, if you don't mindo I'll take two.Thank you, Chris. For all the fancy cooking you do for the visitors. Did you clean the stove?

I'm actually an excellent cook but horrible at clean up. Sure take two wines. Youd never know fried zucchini flowers taste so sweet and airy. Discovered that one summer gardening. Flowers are out but no zucchini yet. Flowers though have brought our front yard and porch to life. Need to stake the 🍅 plants. Cheers and pleasant dreams. Hope Ches' biting issue has blown over. :) hope someone will join me in some kind of game.
Hello? Hhhhheeeeeeellllllllllllloooooo! Is there anybody in there? Just smile if you can hear me. Is anyone at home?
Good song. And good night. Here's to a better tomorrow! :beer:

Doc visit today. Very low pain day. Feels step forward Long nap. $5 little Caesars pizza. Kicking back with Peanut my Dauchshund reading about St. Athanasius.
How was your day Big Mama, Ches, Dymph, Mata, Non, and other Gotobed regulars?
Choir just left with a few hanging back yakking with hubby and son. Son is the choir director.They always stay for a meal and a few drinks. Laugh and talk music. They congregate in the den of iniquity. A very close group. Mostly thirties, a few teenagers and a couple oldsters. I love that they come here.
Anyways.....I may be the only person I know that is not fond of pizza. But then, I don't eat pasta or potatoes either. But I love ice cream. Eating some right now, as a matter of fact. Chris, or you always have to eat dinner alone during the week? So happy you had a good day. I say everyone should have at least one good day a week. Right?
June bug shishkabobs? My favorite. I eat bugs. Everyday. Hate the really crunchy ones, don't you? Raining right now. Won't have to water in the morning. Yahoo! It was a good day for me. Mass tomorrow nite. The pastor, Fr. Timothy Nelson will be saying Mass. He says that his church has become a holier place since the Latin Mass came.
I had a busy, productive day. Hit the ground running, and haven't stopped since! Started with coffee and morning prayers. Then, spot mopped kitchen/dining, finished up quarter testing with big kids, read books with little kids, cleaned kids bathroom sink area, cooked a Mexican-style casserole to bring to friend's house for a lunch/play date, orthodontist appointment with big three (little ones stayed at friend's house), came home, cleaned out vehicle while kids played outside, straightened up inside a touch, read bedtime stories, tucked littles in bed (three year old was so cute.....we made shadow puppets on the wall), washed dishes, packed to go to my Mom's tomorrow (just me and baby....Mom had hip replacement surgery recently, so we are going for the weekend while the other kids stay with my mil), night prayers with big kids, and now....relaxing! Big kids are hanging out and playing board games. I kissed them goodnight and told them not to stay up too late. I earned my glass of wine today! I haven't been that productive in one day in a long time :P. It felt good, but I.am.beat.
Munda, that was a busy day in my book. You are such a good mama, teacher, transportation authority, and now you get your wine. Yes, I agree, you've earned it. Running, cleaning, visiting, reading, testing, accompanying, cooking, all in one day. I would give you a prize. Glad your day was a good one. How satisfying.
Well, don't be too quick to give me a prize....I lost my temper somewhere between "kids bathroom sink" and "Mexican-style casserole". :-[. It's heavy on my heart, despite all the rest of the goodness today. When will I learn?! My children really deserve better than me.

Munda, I truly believe I did not have a single day in which I didn't screw up in one way or another. My children also deserved better than what I gave them. I didn't know there could be days without regrets. Those were my parenting days. And you know what? I am no longer parenting, but it is still that way for me. Not a day goes by that I don't have something I did, didn't do, said or didn't say, creating regrets. I still am not able to have a "perfect" day. But each day I get up and try again, just as you do, asking for God's help.Today Lord, help me be a better person.

Slept a lot after being tired. Me too. I lie down lately afternoons for a little snooze and wake up a couple hours later. Probably the meds.
Good no bites today. Lol. What is it like talking with the device you use over your vocal cords. Can you have a pretty good conversation with it? They should have different voices you can choose from, not just the robotic voice, programmed to mimic what you would normally sound like? Or cool voices like a celebrity or funny ones for your kids.
Multisensory room. Curious. Weird but meditative. I might like that. :)
The pic and prize was sweet, dymph. I'm sure Munday will like seeing that tomorrow morning!
Chris, I think you're on to something big. Pick a voice. Porky pig.... or....Darth Vader. I like it.

Would be cool if there's a way to design the voice to sound as original as possible. Just keep tweaking it

I am still able to speak with my natural voice. I have a speaking valve which basically adjusts the flow of air in such a way where some air goes into the upper airway,through the larynx and mouth. the issue is that I dont have the speaking valve all the time. Can't sleep with the speaking valve so they take it out. The trach has a "cuff" so once that is inflated, no sound comes out at all so at that point you have to use some other way of communicating. some people will make clickng noises with their mouth and i have resorted to that but an easier way to get the point across is an AAC device. i have an app called Proloquo2Go which is an assistive communication app which has a lot of preprogrammed phrases that i can easily press a button and it will say it for me. also whn i enter text it will predict what i am trying to say. it's a little awkward but at this point I'm just glad to be able to say things. I would love a Mr. T voice
the multisensory room is pretty cool. They are being used in a lot of places now... supposed to help elderly people with dementia, autistic people, children with developmental disabilities, sensory processing disorder, and they have tried it with vets with PTSD too. I think the premise is that our bodies and brains crave sensory input and when you have a disability sometimes you don't get as much sensory input as someone who is able bodied. People with certain neurological/psychiatric issues also might have different needs as far as snsory input goes too, like an autistic child might get overstimulated easily so the sensory room is a place where they can "tune out" a lot of stimulation and only focus on one thing at a time. I think with a lot of disabled people, opportunities for sensory input/stimulation are pretty limited. a person who is able bodied might find it relaxing to have acup of coffee. The smell, warm sensation and taste are calmig to them. Or they may enjoy going for a run or even adrive in the car which gives them the sensation of their body moving through space (proprioception). Or they might go outside and sit in nature for awhile, maybe run their toes through the grass or listen to the birds in the trees. Whereas a lot of people in nursing homes dont get to do this. you're in a sterile environment with flourescent lights and the only exposure to nature you get is looking out the window. I am lucky that I live at home and do get to go outside sometimes. Even basic household chores have some sensory input attached to them, like the sensation of water flowing over your hands as you wash dishes, the smell of clean laundry, or the tactile experience of chopping vegetables or baking bread. you lose a lot of sensory input when you cant reach out and touch things in your environment. so while it's incredibly weird to sit under a weighted blanket and play with lighted fiber optic wire watching the colors change, it is pretty nice still and I'm usually a lot calmer afterwards. i think it helps with PTSD too because so much of PTSD is rooted in dissociation from your body and having an inability to be fully mentally there in the present, in your own body. hard to explain. stuff like flashbacksends up pulling you back into the past whereas the sensory stuff helps you stay connected to the present. kind of like a mini vacation from a lot of the poking prodding dissociation flashbacks etc
on one level, it's completely ridiculous to be a 35 year old man staring at a cylinder filled with colorful bubbles with a switch that changes the color, while lying on a vibrating beanbag thingy. a lot of it might seem silly or childish but then again, can't do most things that 35 year old men do for sensory input like weightlifting, eating, goingoutdoors, driving etc.
Thank you, Carleen and dymph! Your made my heart lighter, and gave me just want I needed to start today with joy and the resignation to do the day well; rather than my usual feelings of being defeated and "I'm such a failure, why even bother trying again....I won't succeed"

Thx. It was a day of relief.
Slept a lot after being tired. Me too. I lie down lately afternoons for a little snooze and wake up a couple hours later. Probably the meds.
Good no bites today. Lol. What is it like talking with the device you use over your vocal cords. Can you have a pretty good conversation with it? They should have different voices you can choose from, not just the robotic voice, programmed to mimic what you would normally sound like? Or cool voices like a celebrity or funny ones for your kids.
Multisensory room. Curious. Weird but meditative. I might like that. :)
I am still able to speak with my natural voice. I have a speaking valve which basically adjusts the flow of air in such a way where some air goes into the upper airway,through the larynx and mouth. the issue is that I dont have the speaking valve all the time. Can't sleep with the speaking valve so they take it out. The trach has a "cuff" so once that is inflated, no sound comes out at all so at that point you have to use some other way of communicating. some people will make clickng noises with their mouth and i have resorted to that but an easier way to get the point across is an AAC device. i have an app called Proloquo2Go which is an assistive communication app which has a lot of preprogrammed phrases that i can easily press a button and it will say it for me. also whn i enter text it will predict what i am trying to say. it's a little awkward but at this point I'm just glad to be able to say things. I would love a Mr. T voice
the multisensory room is pretty cool. They are being used in a lot of places now... supposed to help elderly people with dementia, autistic people, children with developmental disabilities, sensory processing disorder, and they have tried it with vets with PTSD too. I think the premise is that our bodies and brains crave sensory input and when you have a disability sometimes you don't get as much sensory input as someone who is able bodied. People with certain neurological/psychiatric issues also might have different needs as far as snsory input goes too, like an autistic child might get overstimulated easily so the sensory room is a place where they can "tune out" a lot of stimulation and only focus on one thing at a time. I think with a lot of disabled people, opportunities for sensory input/stimulation are pretty limited. a person who is able bodied might find it relaxing to have acup of coffee. The smell, warm sensation and taste are calmig to them. Or they may enjoy going for a run or even adrive in the car which gives them the sensation of their body moving through space (proprioception). Or they might go outside and sit in nature for awhile, maybe run their toes through the grass or listen to the birds in the trees. Whereas a lot of people in nursing homes dont get to do this. you're in a sterile environment with flourescent lights and the only exposure to nature you get is looking out the window. I am lucky that I live at home and do get to go outside sometimes. Even basic household chores have some sensory input attached to them, like the sensation of water flowing over your hands as you wash dishes, the smell of clean laundry, or the tactile experience of chopping vegetables or baking bread. you lose a lot of sensory input when you cant reach out and touch things in your environment. so while it's incredibly weird to sit under a weighted blanket and play with lighted fiber optic wire watching the colors change, it is pretty nice still and I'm usually a lot calmer afterwards. i think it helps with PTSD too because so much of PTSD is rooted in dissociation from your body and having an inability to be fully mentally there in the present, in your own body. hard to explain. stuff like flashbacksends up pulling you back into the past whereas the sensory stuff helps you stay connected to the present. kind of like a mini vacation from a lot of the poking prodding dissociation flashbacks etc
on one level, it's completely ridiculous to be a 35 year old man staring at a cylinder filled with colorful bubbles with a switch that changes the color, while lying on a vibrating beanbag thingy. a lot of it might seem silly or childish but then again, can't do most things that 35 year old men do for sensory input like weightlifting, eating, goingoutdoors, driving etc.
Ah ok. Didn't realize you can still talk. Reminds me of movie with Christopher Reeves after his accident. He was able to talk but only in pieces waiting for the breathing machine to cycle. All this time I imagined you would putting a device to your vocal cords that made a robotic voice. That's a good thing you still can use your voice as long as that valve is attached.
Yeah that Multisensory room does at first sound kind of weird but if it works for what you need, that's what counts. I might like it. With my constant facial pain for months now I feel kind of disconnected from normal life in my body. I guess its called disassociation. You tune out a lot of things in your environment that are just too stressful to focus on. So I can see how gazing into a cylinder with changing colors could calm the mind and make you feel more centered. I'll watch YouTube videos like that.
Uneventful day. Slept late. Answered a PM. Replied to Ches. Ate slice of Little Caesars. Too hot to walk. Couple pain spikes. Read with dog in lap. Watched 600 pound show. FB. Napped. Hot pad. Few phone calls. Pbj. Need a jumpstart tomorrow.. Prayers I'm better soon to work. Wouldn't mind hanging with Ches sometimes in the Multisensory room. Wait was today a feast day? Tomorrow a day of activities with wife. Carleene's get up and go attitude will be my inspiration. Online for a while gotobeders.

Christulsa, I did check it out. I like your writings and sentiment. Honestly found it much like you post on the forum. You have a good, light hearted personality and it shows on your blog. As Dymphna, somewhere on this forum, maybe right here in go to bed, said, that is a beautiful tornado!

Hi Heinrich! I see you are on, please, stop in for a cold German beer. You do not have to go to bed if you stop by ;) promise.

I neglect it Humble Mama. Slept in late. Took mom to grocery store. Picked up wife from work. Battled heat with no car A.C. (getting repaired tomorrow). Rested. Wife and I went to Long John Silvers for fish. Evening walk soon when temps cooler. How was your day?? TGIF. I'll check in later.
Another hot day here. My car said it was 114 degrees, parked in the shade.
Would anyone like some ice cold watermelon?

Mine went out last summer. $1000 to replace. But neighbor is sure its just a leak he can fix. Will find out tomorrow.
I think we missed Mama's point... um... something like 200 PAGES!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS ON HAVING A HAPPY THREAD THAT HAS MADE IT TO 200!!! COME ON BOYS!!! WOO HOO IT UP!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :thumbsup: :patriot: :whistling:

A heat wave is predicted here for this weekend. My air conditioning is OK, but it is decades old so I always worry a bit!
Be sure to stay hydrated, Non Nobis. That's the key. I don't know where you are, but here in the desert dehydration can creep up on you very quickly. We learn to be careful.

Yes prayers. :pray1: last summer I made a redneck A.C. for the car with an ice cooler and a fan. A desperate experiment that proved to be an urban myth, despite all the YouTube videos to the contrary. God willing my neighbor can actually fix the A.C. tomorrow, otherwise I may need to avoid driving from 11am til 7pm until at least August. Lol Unless I want to walk around in very sweaty clothes and risk a heat stroke.
We just got back from our shady, evening walk and refreshed ourselves with mint flavored water from the fridge. Mental note buy lemons to make lemon water.

Quit crying. You do not have to go to bed, just because the thread is open! Really, let's just chat. You know, a few drinks, and to loosen the tongue! Just remember....no gossip, no foul language.

Don't worry...all that "joy" nonsense didn't last too long ;). Reality always gets the best of me :P
Go to bed....whenever you want! Yep, mama says. It has been a glorious day. So come in, put your feet up, and just cut loose. Tell mama about your day. Mama will listen.
Ok. Enough mama crap. I am woman. I might roar.
See you, Dymph. You and your banging noggin. Please Lord, help my friends head it is too heavy and too hurting. Yes, she offers it up. She is a good girl and is hanging on, but Lord, I pray for you to heal her. Her weekly companion in her head is an unwelcome visitor that exhausts her and weakens her to the point of incapacitation. I'm just asking Lord on Dymphna's behalf. Well, really, I am begging and you know it, Lord. So please.......Amen.
Yeah....well maybe I'll just do that. I'm tired enough. But really, it's way too early. Come entertain me. I'm bored.
Who cares, anyway. I mean really, who gives a crap. I was bored, but sheesh, I can't expect my peeps to pop in and entertain me whenever I am bored. I'm not a child. I am mama. I am woman....hear me snore. Going to bed. Going to sleep. G-nite!
I am still woman, hear me snore. No DONT. Actually, it is a purrrrr. Or so hubby says. I like purr better than snore. I can't be the only one here who snores.....errrr....meh....purrs. All I have to do is sleep on my side to lose the snore. And no. I do not have sleep apnea. I do not quit breathing and do not need a c-pac machine. Hey, it's just a little purr. Not to worry. Do you guys need a c-pac machine? Tell mama all about it. No really, it's quite common.

I'd be interested in having a sleep study done. My dreams are always so vivid and frequent, it makes me wonder about the kind of sleep I'm actually getting. :huh:

Oh. You probably have a lot of memories there, too, probably doesn't make you want to rush out of there anyway, huh?
Lydia, it's so nice to have you back. You and Bird. :)
Dymphna, You bow out when it's too much combined. And I miss you each time :grouphug: I'm happy when you are back. But....you haven't answered whether or not the storm in your head has subsided. So...has it?
Lydia, soon I'll be posting a few more songs hubby recently did in studio.
Bird, so now you're bored and lonely. Awwww. Wish I could help with that!
:grouphug:
Oh good! I'm looking forward to new songs!

Who cares, anyway. I mean really, who gives a crap. I was bored, but sheesh, I can't expect my peeps to pop in and entertain me whenever I am bored. I'm not a child. I am mama. I am woman....hear me snore. Going to bed. Going to sleep. G-nite!
Me! I give a crap!!! I had this nice post all typed up about ladies PURRING and I fell asleep with my finger on the RRRRRRRRRRRR! My goodness, I must have sleeptyped 12 pages of RRRRRRRRs!! I should have cut it off and sent it to you! Hubby sure got a kick out of it. He said it's better than when I fall asleep hanging over the side of my chair looking for my mouse! :lol: I have the hardest time getting my rings off when I do that. So, here I am. S'Up?
Sorry to interrupt, but I loved that thread. Can we all sit and have tea, or would you like to be private? I don't mind. Bernadette doesn't get around here much and I know how much you miss her Carleen. You all are so sweet!
Nothing private here, Dymph, you know that besides, I missed you. You've been out of comission. I know I ask you this all the time, but I need to know you know. Need to know when it's over. Having problems with my interenet, I think, doesn't want to post this.
Head still banging with a couple of complications. Sorry. Are you having storms that would cause internet ills? Hey Lydia!! Good to see you! :seeya: Wow! A good day after all! Get to see Carleen, Bernadette, and Lydia! Where is Munda, Lynne, and MLG? I'm over reaching aren't I?

I can't tell you how I see you Bird. It changes from time to time. Is your hair black? Are you quite short? I picture you short. That I can tell you. Even though you morph somewhat in my mind, you are always short. Is your hair long or short?
I'm 5'3" and have very dark brown hair. It's short now, but it was really, really long for a while. I donated it to charity when I cut it off. Now I'm growing it out again.
Complications? Can you talk about it? In a pm maybe? I don't really need to know. Please, know I always pray while this is happening. Been to ER yet? I wish I could borrow that head of yours for day so you could have a day off. Please God...You know.
Bird, I do hope, if it is God's Will, that you can stay put. Adjusting to a new place can be hard. Sometimes it's just a good fit. If you have to move....I pray it's a good fit.
Lydia, they are good and I do think you'd like them.

I knew it!!!! Yup, short. Just like I imagined. I am only about 1/2 to 3/4 inch taller than you. I can see you with long dark hair. Yes.And thick hair. Straight? Asian hair and slightly Asian eyes.
super depressed today. was my sons birthday. Wish my mood matched the happy occasion. tried pushing through it. had him ride his bike around the loop in the park for awhile to get some vigorous exercise then we told him he could have whatever kind of treat he wanted today for his birthday within a 3 block radius of our house (because that is how far i'm willing to go) and he said he wanted ice creamso we took him to the ice cream place a few blocks from the water. hoping he doesn't have a massive blood sugar incident. hoping the exercise and otherwise healthy dinner + insulin is all calculated the right way. Dr said better for him to be a little high than a little low

Well despite the depression, you probably made him very happy. Is he good at reading your moods, Ches? With his excitement, birthday boy, bike ride and ice cream, he probably didn't notice dad was less than up for all that. Hope tomorrow brings you some sunshine, Ches. I truly do. Your life is hard enough without depression. That would make everything twice as hard. Prayin.
Aww... Happy birthday to your son! I hope the ice cream + insulin work out okay -- did you do a combo for it (he's on a pump isn't he)? I'm sorry you've had a bad day.
Going to bed. Working too hard to stay awake. Gonna throw in the towel. So behave. Do the dishes and lock up. Don't forget to turn off lights! Someone left the bathroom light on last night. Just sayin.....
Awww 7 is such a precious age. Does he seem reasonable yet? :lol: Sorry, I mean no disrespect. I've just always wondered why the Church chose 7 as the golden year? I know that if your child isn't ready, they have to wait, but why not 13 (Isn't that the year for Jews that they become a man?) Anyway, I just wonder sometimes. I'll bet he loved the ice cream and having his Dad with him. Plus having a new baby brother! That's something different. Alot of good things in there for a new 7 year old. Bless his little heart! Prayers for the birthday boy! :cheeseheadbeer: Cheesehead with Lemonade!! 8)

I'll lock up. You can't blame an angel for needing a nightlight on once in a while. I get your pm on the way before I fall asleep this time. Sweet dreams!

We are women, and hear us PURRRRRRRRRR!
Ok, Kitty, I'll include you!
G-nite Non, Bird, Dymph, Ches :pray3:, Chris :pray3:, Mata, Pheo, Kaese, Jayne, Lydia, Heinrich.....who never stops in, St. Drogo and Miki, Martin :pray3: Christina, Obrien, Greg, ........and all!
You're right, I need to disconnect for the night too. G'night!
Stopping in to say hello, but it looks like I'm too late! I missed everyone. I've been so busy lately. Husband has been out of town for work for the past week. Between that and my Mom, I've been burning all the candles at all the ends. He'll be home in two days, then we get the weekend to relax and catchup. He missed Father's Day, so the kids and I are planning a few things for when he gets home. We cut the yard, so he won't have to do it this weekend....(by "we", I mean me). Keeping the back porch neat and swept (it's his pet peeve), and picked up a few of his favorite snacks in town today.
Carleen, the kids like the bathroom light on....keeps the monsters at bay, and helps with bathroom trips. Very important now that I am down to only one in diapers! Three year old finally graduated from that phase (phew!).
Ches, I've been battling low moods, too. I'm sure not quite to the extent you are, but still. Something to offer up, I suppose.
Good night all.
Ok. Bathroom light stays on for munda's kids and all kids everywhere.
Ok. On my way to go to bed. Party at my house tonight. Choir, everyone made it. Big crowd with children along as well. Big dinner, ice cream cake Guspacho soup, bean and beef dip , chopped veggies tortilla chip. Everyone had a good time and just left.
So tired after working outside and cleaning house, putting on my party face, taking it off! Getting ready for BED! Oh yes, I am ready. Good night everyone!
Seems I wasn't ready afterall....but NOW I am. G-nite all. This is the real deal. Lock doors, keep bathroom light on for the monsters. I mean kiddies.
Hey, we gotta get out of good morning and go to bed. It's almost 10, planning on being in bed by 11. How about you? Whatcha up to and what did you do today? Come...tell big mama.
Therapy and grocery shopping. Ready to go to bed. I'm exhausted.

Aw Bird, I'm tired too. Really tired, but want to stay up til 11. If anything is going to do me in, that would be grocery shopping. I need therapy AFTER grocery shopping. It is such a zoo out there. My head spins and I find the things I see at the store so appalling. Used to be kinda fun, going shopping, but now it is just a parade of oddities, cleavage, skin tight clothing and tattoos on old ladies. I mean ladies with scalp showing and enough wrinkles to pass as one of those dogs like a sharpei.
Good night my friends.

I've started finding posts from the previous day/night that should have been there, but weren't. What kind of monkey business is my computer up to now? Is anyone else seeing that happen?

Nope, your computer is playing games with that stupid head of yours. Just your head is stupid, not your thoughts, Dymph.
Yep, go, it's time. Wait drop me a line first.
Just stopping in to pay hommage to Big Mama. I've brought an offering of fresh pineapple.
Here is the only line I have to drop. It is attached to a certain Man's hem. ;) 8)

Well look at you! Being all Hosty and stuff. Can you just bring me a bottle and a glass? I paint better when I can actually DO something.
So....what do you have to say for yourself? We're you good today? Did you say your rosary? Did you pray for your family, your priest, your bishop, your church, your country and your Godchildren? Did you work hard and laugh harder? Well these are basic obligations. If this is done, you had a good day! Yes, you did and you can sleep well when you do go to bed, because these things were done. Outside of this, everything else is a bonus, extra things to offer our God. Maybe He smiled down on you today. I hope so. I think He frowned on me today. I did all those things, but a few extra not so good things. Hopefully I have another day to correct my wrongs. Please God.
Well, we didn't say our Rosary, but we did say our morning prayers and the Angleus at lunch. We will say night prayers soon, too. Last night, we went to Mass in honor of The Sacred Heart....our family devotion. Today, we spent the day getting chores done around the house, and spending some quality, family time together. Husband is finally back home from work travels, so all is right with the world again. That poor man...I love him so. He has spent the bulk of the day (and yesterday), off and on, listening to me ramble about all the thoughts that have been rolling around in my head since he's been away. I am a lucky woman, indeed!

Oh yes, you've been blessed. I'll bet the family revolves around his returns. I am so pleased you have such a sweet relationship. The kids will always remember YOUR joy upon his return. They will see and desire that type of relationship when they reach that age. Good for you and hubby, Munda.That is such a delight to see.

One day closer to paradise. Nightie night.
Who left the ring around the tub!!!! They didn't squeegee the mirror after brushing their teeth either!!! Wait a minute... who has the blue rubber ducky? Mine is pink and lights up, Carleen's is yellow with the broken wing, Non's is the smiling orange one, Bernadette's is the purple one that lights up, Matamoros has the fiery red one, and MLG's is the pretty orange one with the IV in the wing.

I'd say all the evidence points to you Chris. Please clean you tub ring, and squeegee the mirror after brushing teeth. Thank you.
"Go to bed?" Ok. I will. Now. Very tired. You may drop me a line in here and will enjoy reading them tomorrow! Good nite my friends. Yes, I know it's early, but I am bushes and done in. God bless you all.
Just out of bubble bath again. YES, cleaned the tub ring. :toth: I always scratch my head after taking a bath originally 2/3rd full, when I get out its 1/3rd full and the floor isn't wet. :shrug: Kind of like when I keep finding just one sock of the pair wondering where the other socks went. Enjoyed evening walk with Peanut. Threw out some thoughts on Ches' recent thread, for what they're worth. Finishing book on purgatory. Becoming devoted to our own modern mystic St. Padre Pio. He bad chronic GI pain besides you know the stigmata and such. Second PT session tomorrow. Want to get better to take the wife where we honeymooned. Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Worth a Google search. ;) A magical place. Tomorrow night a tray of goodies. Guten nacht.

Well go to bed is open. Come on in. Mama is a bit bored. Fill me in on your day! Hope it was a good productive day for you. Mine was just ok. Cleaned up after husband cut into a wall to get a look at chimney. What a mess! Had to remove all the dishes and everything because of the dust mess. Pulled it back together by about 7. Now, your turn.

I brought a pan of brownies to my therapy group, and everyone liked them. :) Then I came home and organized my ebook library (one of my favorite things to do these days). Tried to settle down to actually reading one of my ebooks, with limited success. Tried French; no go. Tried English; no go. Tomorrow I might try Spanish: there's that biography of St. Teresa that just might tempt me enough to stay engaged. Spent some time on my exercise bike: doc wasn't kidding when he said my medication would increase my appetite! :o

Brownies are always a winner. Do you make them from scratch Bird? About meds. I am taking lyrica, a med for nerve pain. They say it causes weight gain. I have yet to take the 3 a day I am supposed to. Weight gain I do not need. Why oh why is this such a common side effect? Really, we are told all the time this country has a terrible obesity problem and yet, so many of our meds can cause weight gain. Why? We are destined to fail at our weight loss plans with meds like this!
Thanks for stopping by...got anymore brownies?

I surely do not want to hurt anyone's feelings while making a point. Well it probably isn't the first time, but I'd like it to be the last.
Oh Carleen! I can imagine the mess. We had our old TV sitting in a cubby (I guess that is what you would call it) in the entertainment center we had recently bought. Then the TV died so of course ::) we had to get a brand spanking new giant flat screen TV. Problem was that it was too big for the entertainment center and he was very concerned about just mounting it to a wall. So my super-duper fix it all Hubby brought out the reciprocating saw and cut the top of the entertainment center off right in the living room! Saw dust was everywhere. When I was cleaning my silk flower decorations a little while back, 2 of them had saw dust in the pots. That stuff gets everywhere!

Nothing better than an ice cold Coke in a little glass bottle! And margarita pizza does sound interesting. But I think Chris meant pizza margherita, the classic Neapolitan pizza with tomato sauce, mozzarella, and fresh basil. Ah, but I see Big Mama has gone to bed. I'll just help myself to the rest of the pizza and a Coke...

(This is just a ROAST because, even though he sometimes doesn't respond, for some odd reason I love Ches. Click "Say Thanks" if you love Ches too)
Actually, Im getting very upset at Ches starting his nihilistic threads and not responding to people. I probably offended him saying he's a victim soul. Pisses me off. The Stephen Hawking of Suscipe Domine huh? Give me a break. Hawking cant even move a muscle and he teaches in a university and is upbeat. Next time Ches starts one of his rants we should just ignore him. No margherita pizza for Ches. Oh wait I forgot, Ches cant eat.

May the angels tuck you in, the Holy Ghost put you right to sleep, and Our Lady fill your night only with pleasant dreams.
EXPLAIN: Margarita pizza. 8oz. margaritas make sense, But....Margarita pizza is what? Lime chunks, rock salt, and what else, Chris? Need to know this. I may not sleep not knowing this.
And Chris, I too wish Ches, our dear friend, will respond to his thread. I'm afraid I may have upset him by grimer wormtongue. I hope not. Just trying to tell him like I see the things he ssys. I surely do not want to hurt anyone's feelings while making a point. Well it probably isn't the first time, but I'd like it to be the last.
Actually, Im getting very upset at Ches starting his nihilistic threads and not responding to people. I probably offended him saying he's a victim soul. Pisses me off. The Stephen Hawking of Suscipe Domine huh? Give me a break. Hawking cant even move a muscle and he teaches in a university and is upbeat. Next time Ches starts one of his rants we should just ignore him. No margherita pizza for Ches. Oh wait I forgot, Ches cant eat.
(PS This is just a ROAST because, even though he sometimes doesn't respond, for some odd reason I love Ches. Click "Say Thanks" if you love Ches too)
I'm so glad you put the PS into your post. I was going to lay into you like nobodies business. So thank you for that. Ches is such a talented, intelligent, and manly man trying very hard to figure out how to use this life to gain eternal happiness in the next. He is not our mascot (I'm not saying that you have said this Chris, but I have heard others talk as if he is), all in all he is like the rest of us, trying to be holy, save his soul, and save the souls of his family. In order to do that, considering like you, Chris, I think most of us love Ches and get frustrated with his questions. However, they are worth exploring or their wouldn't be Church teachings that we laymen can understand.
He's asking the same questions I would if I were young and staring death in the face. In the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises, they teach you how to mentally place yourself in those positions so as to understand and work on whatever you need to, to please God. I apologize if I'm putting words into your mouth, Ches. This is just how I've understood your questions. And Chris, please don't think I'm ragging on you, because that is not my intention at all. You just seem to bring up topics I like and ones that are provocative to me. :)

Well go to bed is open. Come on in. Mama is a bit bored. Fill me in on your day! Hope it was a good productive day for you. Mine was just ok. Cleaned up after husband cut into a wall to get a look at chimney. What a mess! Had to remove all the dishes and everything because of the dust mess. Pulled it back together by about 7. Now, your turn.

I edited it and put that note at the top.

No, Chris, it is I that owes you an apology. I had no right to jump into your conversation like that. It had nothing to do with me and if I saw disrespect, that was my problem, unless Ches said something about being offended. I am truly sorry and ask for both yours and Ches's forgiveness. I really need to practice MYOB better. :-[
Chris, I too was taken in and somewhat confused. What was said is not the Chris I know and like very much....then I saw your postScript. Now that's the Chris I know!! You are a good sport and are always kind, that's why I should have KNOWN you were just razzing Ches
My dear Dymph, I love the way you go into defense mode if it seems the people on here that you love are being speared. I want you on my side Dymph, with me, not against me!

Quote from: Jayne on June 27, 2017, 11:50:49 AM
I did not get a chance to post this morning, but did have a few minutes to spend reading the forum. It reminded me how much I dislike "roast" humour. Somehow, hurtful comments are supposed to magically become funny if somebody calls it a roast. For some reason, the magic never works on me.
It reminds me of "The Emperor's New Clothes". Just like nobody wanted to point out that the Emperor was naked, people don't want to point out that the "roast" comments weren't funny. Because one then risks being accused of lacking a sense of humour.
I think that being kind is more important than being funny. If that means there is something wrong with my sense of humour, I can live with that.
Jayne, I know Chris quite well so I trust his post was just what he said it was. But, at the risk of embarrassing him I will take the time to say a few words about it. Sorry, Chris. Gotta do this.
About roasting. It seems to be a cover for negative thoughts you've really had but would never say out loud, due to backlash you would certainly get, outside of the roast. When we wrap these thoughts in humor, they are somehow acceptable. Unwrap these things said, and they are mean and hurtful and most times, things about the target that have been bugging you but you did not have the courage to say. Yes, we could certainly do without this type of "humor".
Chris did not mean to open a can of worms. He truly loves Ches and would do all in his power to help him. I know this and could vouch for it because of conversations we've had privately. Chris is a very good man. I realize you never said he wasnt, Jayne, just pointing it out. As anyone can relate to, I've unfortunately used poor choices, regretful and hurtful words and if I could unsay them I would. I've humiliated myself more times than I could count, but I am pleased you took this opportunity to remind everyone....not all humor is innocent and sometimes truly hurts the object being "roasted".

Id try and respond with another attempt at well-meant humor, but I risk making an ass again out of myself. :) Sorry Ches if my post came across weird or offensive. It was late and I was in a lot of pain at that moment.
If there is anything to be read into it, it is just that I noticed he sometimes doesn't respond on his own threads and I wish he would. Something I tried to light-heartedly mention in my first post last night in gotobed, followed by an assanine attempt to give Ches some "ribbing" after Carleene responded about it.I. I had/have absolutely no negative feelings towards Ches , and if I did I would never use a roast to vent those feelings.
Roast me anytime, Chris. I can take it! :D
This kind of humor is a tricky thing though. As Jayne says, it can be a mask for truly malicious remarks. And even when well meant, it can still strike someone in a vulnerable moment and do serious damage. On the other hand, it can also be a mark of the deepest friendship. Precisely because there is a lot of truth in those jabs, when our friends laugh at us, with us, what they are really saying is that they see our faults, see them clearly, but love us all the same.

Said with ironic, benevolent humor:Maybe in due time. I dont know you well enough yet Mata, but I am picking up on things about you that may be roast-worthy. But I did find it extremely rude and inconsiderate that you wouldn't try one of the Rocky Mountain oysters I made after all that hard work "harvesting" and cooking them. >:(

I have yet to master the art of ironic humor, but that is often how I think about life. Saying that Ches' threads are nihilistic and we should ignore them, my intended and poorly used rhetoric device was irony. Meaning that my words conveyed the opposite of what they literally are saying.
Ches' threads dont strike me as nihilistic but being an inquisitive gadfly trying to make sense of the human condition, including his own.

I brought a pan of brownies to my therapy group, and everyone liked them. :) Then I came home and organized my ebook library (one of my favorite things to do these days). Tried to settle down to actually reading one of my ebooks, with limited success. Tried French; no go. Tried English; no go. Tomorrow I might try Spanish: there's that biography of St. Teresa that just might tempt me enough to stay engaged. Spent some time on my exercise bike: doc wasn't kidding when he said my medication would increase my appetite! :o
Brownies are always a winner. Do you make them from scratch Bird? About meds. I am taking lyrica, a med for nerve pain. They say it causes weight gain. I have yet to take the 3 a day I am supposed to. Weight gain I do not need. Why oh why is this such a common side effect? Really, we are told all the time this country has a terrible obesity problem and yet, so many of our meds can cause weight gain. Why? We are destined to fail at our weight loss plans with meds like this!
Thanks for stopping by...got anymore brownies?
wishlyrica would give me some weight gain

Just to be clear, I was speaking of roasting in general, not your remarks here, Chris. I don't know SD well enough to get most inside jokes, so this whole discussion went right past me until the topic turned to the humor of roasting in general, though I think Jayne might have mentioned that in another thread...

At the risk of offending some one somewhere on this planet I do believe we will close this topic about humor... good humor, bad humor, roasting, unwrapping, oysters stinking and just carry on. This thread is enjoyable. All that needs to be said has been said. Chris and Mata, love you guys. Chris, Ches, Mata, sometimes Martin, you guys are a delight when you pop in. Keeps this from being too girly.
So no more be said. Besides, I may be on the verge of saying something stupid. Can't have that. I am the host of this good night, go to bed thread, you bed heads.

(edit: didn't see Carleene's edict before posting this :))
Seeeee ladies. He wasn't offended! :)
To conclude Chris'-inappopriate-roast-of-Ches-Gate, would you be willing to answer the following survey question?
Chris' roast was:
a) perhaps objectively inappropriate but I knew Chris had no malice
b) an appropriate, albeit ambiguous and oddly worded, form of ironic humor
c) just weird but thats ok
Hey, I forgot!!!!! Go to bed you bed heads is now OPEN!!!! Come to me all ye who are weary and heavy laiden. Yes, do come, bring munchies, bring veggies...um....no veggies..bring mixed drinks, soft drinks, decaf coffee, vitamins, melatonin, benydryl, iced tea, ice cream, frozen gelatin, frog legs. Mama says wear your jammies, slippers, and beer T- shirts. Bring swords, darts, and horses. Just park horses outside. Got a tie bar put up for Mata!
We have margaritas (the real deal, not the pizza) and chicken tacos. Help yourselves. Little mama's tired (fun factoid.....my family actually does call me 'big mama' to be silly sometimes, but I won't be stealing Carleen's title here).
I've got 3 types of homemade ice cream, peach, strawberry, and vanilla. There are sugar cones, waffles, cantaloupe or just plain old bowls for the ice cream puritans. There is a blender in the corner if you desire a milk shake.
I've got my night meds to take so I'll sleep tonight. Changed into one of Hubby's HD t-shirts. Got my S&W M&P .40 on my side and my .38 on my ankle, both locked and loaded. Bring on the night!!

Wow dymph, may I sleep on the floor right next to you? You are so safe to be around. And I bought a summer nightgown. It will be a sleepover!
G-nite. See you in the morning when I have cultivated an appropriate bed head for coffee time.

Bringing out a tray of frothy guiness beers and filet mignon shooters in a spirit of reparation for my blunder.
May waves of serenity sooth your nerves tonight as you fall into a deep, child-like slumber. May all worries of the day fade off into the sunset as your mind is filled with relaxing and rejuvenating dreams.

Wow! Could you blunder a little more often? :P ;)
Rosary finished - check
Night prayers for everyone at SD finished - check
Dishes done - check
Jammies on - check
Teeth brushed and mirrors squeegeed - check
Looks like everyone is just about ready. Sleepy, we are getting very sleepy...

Hey wake up! I was just joking. I haven't been to sleep. Errrr......um...not like I didn't try. CHRISSSS! Where's that dog gone tray you brought out. Never mind. I have a platter of my own. One half of a p. butter, strawberry jam sandwich, cut into eight equal pieces. N-i-c-e huh? Help yourself. I'll never be able to finish this by myself. Never.
Ok. So I couldn't sleep. I need something to do for a bit, while I wait to try again.

Thanks big mama but I can't eat bread just starting back today on my low carb diet. Ahem, I mean low carb lifestyle.
Why couldn't you get to sleep? You just have to lay down, close your eyes, relax your mind, and just let yourself drift off. No big deal. Lol
She forgot to drink the Guinness. So now; :eek:
Thanks Chris! Really and truly? It's that simple? Lay down? Close my eyes....uh oh....wait here while I run back and try again, I think I now know what I didn't do to be a successful sleeper. Does it HAVE to be BOTH eyes. Well of course it does....Chris said so. I'll get this right, yet. So wait right here Chris, I may need a hand getting both eyes to shut at the same time.
Dymph, stay out of this. I am taking sleeping lessons from Chris. Just sayin.....
Carleen:
QuoteHey wake up! I was just joking. I haven't been to sleep.
OK Mama, time for a bedtime story. There once was a Mama who was bored with her job watching children. So she cooked up a fantastic joke to pull on all the forum members. The next day she came running out of her house yelling, "I'm going to sleep now! Someone else needs to come watch the shee...errr... the children! I've got to go to sleep! Now!!" Everyone on the forum came running since no one wants to see children left alone. Mama did this a second time the next day and everyone walked over this time instead of running. The third time she did this, and she really was ready to drop tired, no one came to help. She had to stay up and watch the children and her sparkly reputation was ruined. The End
Now you are ready to go to sleep, aren't you? Sweet dreams my sleepy, but awake friend. Hope your night goes well. :P ;) :) :lol:

I really hope you are in bed with both eyes closed now. The next option was me singing a lullaby. And NObody wants to be subjected to that. :wag: :leaving: :ack:
Sweet dreams, my friend.
Chris' Full Proof Plan for Falling Asleep in 5 Minutes:
1. Lie down.
2. Close your eyes (both eyes).
3. Relax your mind.
4. Just choose to fall asleep.
Disclaimer: this may require a hypnotic sleeping pill like Ambien (which in hindsight I do not recommend unless you are about to die from sleep deprivation)
Chris, your fool proof plan is a sound and good one for most. :cheeseheadbeer: However, as someone who routinely stays awake for 2-3 days in a row, and up to 7 days a couple of times, your plan, while wonderful for normal people who have insomnia once in a while, doesn't cover my situation. Do you have any words of wisdom for someone like me? I can't take ambien because it makes me hallucinate. I have found a mixture of meds that is working for now, but after 2 years, medications usually stop working for me like they did before. :shrug: :)

Chris' Full Proof Plan for DYMPHNA to Achieve Normal, Healthy Sleep:
1. Exercise vigorously for at least one hour during the day, ideally outside and in the morning.
2. Eat a reduced carb, low glycemic index diet to better stabilize blood sugars, especially at night.
3. Practice deep breathing relaxation twice a day.
4. Spend at least an hour a day in leisure with family or friends.
5. Always go to bed at the same time, and early. No later than 10pm.
6. Progressively decrease activities and serious concerns over several hours in the evening, also progressively turning off lights and other electronic devices.
7. Turn off almost all lights one hour before bedtime.
8. Take a small dose of Melatonin (1-3 mg) EARLY in the evening to help mind slowly shift to sleep mode.
9. Before bed, take a heavier dose of TIME-RELEASED Melatonin which will KEEP you asleep. 5-10 mg.
10. Also take Valerian root and Calcium Magnesium with warm milk or Camamilla tea. Plus a small, low carb, high fat, high protein snack (like avocado and turkey).
11. Write down a daily list of concerns for the next day, to clear your mind.
12. Take a hot shower, or bath with Epsom salt and lavender oil.
13. Strictly observe the bedroom for just sleeping. Avoid being in the room except when about to go in bed. Keep the room as quiet as possible. Eliminate all sounds.
14. Keep the room very clean and organized, and cool at night. Use cotton sheets and a comfie comforter. Invest in the best quality mattress and pillows.
15. Keep the room as dark as possible.
16. Lie down and try and sleep. After 10 minutes count sheep or something else in your mind. Don't go more than 20 minutes awake in bed. Leave the room and do something routine and boring for 15 minutes and then go back to bed. Repeat cycle as needed until you fall asleep. Same if you wake back up.
17. Always get up at the same time every morning.
18. Buy a book about sleep hygeine.
19. Consult a sleep specialist for guidance.
20. Keep following this plan for as many weeks and months as it takes to establish healthy sleep.

A decidely good night to all my bed heads.
Today veggie omellete and ground meat with broccoli. Day 2 back on low carb. Should I roast Dymphna for not thanking me for my words of wisdom about sleep? Just kidding. Learned my lesson. Pmd SD friends. Read very frightening chapter on purgatory. 2 long walks. Long talk with the Mrs.
Pleasant dreams big mama, Ches, Dymph, Mata, Jayne, Matto, Martin, KK, etc
I know."go to bed", "go to bed", you hear this every single night. But, what if I don't say this and you forget to go to bed? What if? Chris may forget to bring us some goodies, probably pork rinds tonight because of his low carb diet. Hey Cris....put some grated cheese on them, microwave, season with a little creole and chives...not bad at all. Back to forgetting to go to bed. We would have a few very tired and crabby SD-ers. So guess what?
WE'RE OPEN! Drop in and say you're nite nites. Come on. Give mama a little hug g-nite.Tell me about your day. The good, bad and ugly. Don't be shy. What is said in go to bed, stays in go to bed!

A big hug to big mama for her motherly care of us all. :shrug: (my attempt at a hug).
The good: good sleep last night, engaging discussion on indulgences, devoted attention of dog Peanut, savory dinner of ground beef and cabbage, consoling rwading about purgatory, gentle evening breeze, rosary with wife (hopefully gaining plenary indulgence).
The bad: pain, anxiety, while driving 30 mins in traffic with no A.C.
The ugly: sin
Thanks Chris...the good the bad and the ugly.... :grouphug: good night good man.
Hey Chris! You just described my ringtone on my phone. The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly! You know the first part where they whistle? That's it.
I haven't had pork rinds in many years. I had an Uncle that was addicted to them. Thanks for the food and the memories. :) :cheeseheadbeer: 8)

Open NOW! Hopefully Dymphna is having a good time at her reunion. Right, dymph? Hope Chris is having a good day. This is my monthly withdrawal day, sends me to bed all day. Tomorrow will be better. Tonight is a mild night. Not hot or cold. Haven't looked up tomorrow's weather. Surprise me.
It's cooling off here. Tomorrow's forecast is cloudy with a high of only 100. :D
monthly withdrawal...like from a bank account?

Don't go to bed yet. Just dont. We are not kiddies. We do not go to bed before 10.
I've been to bed, but couldn't sleep. So I'm back up. Time for decaf tea. :)
Third time is magic....hmmp, we'll see! It has been tough so I'm counting on my angel soothing me so I can just melt for the night. We're open for all you social butterflies! Come on in, I promise not to bore you with my woes! Give God thanks for another full day and we're all here to work off our purgatory time! Toast to all working in the vineyard!

G-nite. Zzzzzzzz. I hope.
Visited with wife and her Filipino friend. Took car to shop. Watching more of Padre Pio movie. Japanese buffet. We sat there for three hours. Pmd a SD friend for a while. Drug store for toilet paper. Late rosary.
The good: a day closer to fixing A.C. in car.
The bad: humidity, pain
The ugly: sin
Pleasant dreams.

I don't even have a smart phone. Maybe the virtual keyboard on my Kindle is bigger, but I have never used it to post and don't think I could stand it. I do have a blue tooth keyboard, and have used it for notes for myself, but not yet for posting. I use my Kindle for surfing but if I want to post, it is always the laptop.
I don't have a phone, either, but I've posted from my aunt's phone. Not fun. I definitely prefer a regular keyboard.
Bringing out a tray of chilled mango green tea and mango bars (like lemon bars but with mango)
Went to PT. Took car back to shop. Walked home. Rested. Did PT exercises. Discussions with Gerard, Pon, Quare. Walked back to car shop. Chinese buffet. Picked up wife from her friend's house. Grocery store.
The good: noticed MAJOR improvement in my face + very low pain day, finally have A.C. in car.
The bad: A.C. doesnt blow too cold when driving slow or stopping. May need major repair $$$
The ugly: the ghost in the machine that possessed Carleene's tablet, curtailing her daily apostolate on SD. Its weird.
One day closer to paradise. Pleasant dreams.

Chris, you are too funny. The ghost, my apostolate....wow! But, it's true about curtailing my activities on SD. Why oh why, why only on this site? Works doing Google or email. Just doesn't make sense! I've been banished by an unseen force!
Any way, my 8 month pregnant daughter is here and we are really having fun!!!! So I lose something and I gain something! Had a wonderful rosary tonight, can't always say that. Please keep my brother in prayers. He is distraught and suffering. His wife disturbed him horribly right after he woke from surgery. Talked tonight and he is unglued. Wife has a boyfriend. She won't be any help to him. So sad.

Fireworks at Riverside was always an experience when I was a kid. One of the first times we went, I think I was about 10, and my Dad was home from work for the first time in months and wanted to take us girls to Riverside. This included my youngest sister who was almost 3 yo. Dad was thinking ahead and parked in such a way that we could be one of the first ones out and not have to wait in endless lines of traffic. This meant we had farther to walk to get to the festivities, but the benefit outweighed difficulties in his mind. Now, picture 3 little girls aged 3, 6, and 10, alone with their Dad for the first time in years, trekking through what seemed like a million people to find a place to set up our chairs and a little bitty cooler that had Dad's beer in it. It had to be a spot that we could see what was going on. Finally we find the perfect spot and got all set up and ready for the show. Youngest sister was even being particularly good. About 5 minutes before the start of the show, the inevitable happened. Middle sister had to go potty. She refused to use the port o potty so we had to pack everything up and leave just as the show was starting. Dad was fuming. He tried again a couple of years later but that time, my youngest sister had to go after we got all situated. After that, we only went if we had someone with us that could drive whichever girl in need of a bathroom, home, then back to the show. :lol:
Hope you all had a great holiday! :patriot:
Loved your story.

Hi bird. I can only respond on my phone. My tablet won't let me use the alphabet. It's hard on phone. I aill be a woman of few words until tablet acts right. I can use the keyboard on other sites, but not here. I'm stumped.
Me 2. Since laptop crashed in April. I swipe my thumb across the letters. Faster, but darn text corrections.
Sitting in one of those new fold out camping chairs with the wife near riverside Tulsa. Fireworks in 30 mins. Cooler with drinks. Cheeseburger w/o the bun. Guy flying drone. Pondeing the ethics of drone warfare.
Today:
The good: right now, America
The bad: weird TMJ-related ear fullness
The ugly: Americanism
Happy 4th! Good night Carleene, Ches, Dymph, Mata, Martin, et al
Fireworks at Riverside was always an experience when I was a kid. One of the first times we went, I think I was about 10, and my Dad was home from work for the first time in months and wanted to take us girls to Riverside. This included my youngest sister who was almost 3 yo. Dad was thinking ahead and parked in such a way that we could be one of the first ones out and not have to wait in endless lines of traffic. This meant we had farther to walk to get to the festivities, but the benefit outweighed difficulties in his mind. Now, picture 3 little girls aged 3, 6, and 10, alone with their Dad for the first time in years, trekking through what seemed like a million people to find a place to set up our chairs and a little bitty cooler that had Dad's beer in it. It had to be a spot that we could see what was going on. Finally we find the perfect spot and got all set up and ready for the show. Youngest sister was even being particularly good. About 5 minutes before the start of the show, the inevitable happened. Middle sister had to go potty. She refused to use the port o potty so we had to pack everything up and leave just as the show was starting. Dad was fuming. He tried again a couple of years later but that time, my youngest sister had to go after we got all situated. After that, we only went if we had someone with us that could drive whichever girl in need of a bathroom, home, then back to the show. :lol:
Hope you all had a great holiday! :patriot:

Carleene, I've mastered using a smartphone for SD, so it CAN be done. :)
Great story Dymph. There's now a play area for kids on the west side of the river across the 21st street bridge with games and food before the show. We sat near there. Yes its tricky parking to avoid a long walk and/or getting stuck in traffic--like we did Tues night for an hour and a half going home (just 3 miles away). :o
Today:
The good: face still major improvement which started yesterday. Picked first tomato from garden.
The bad: yesterday's A.C. repair wasn't enough.
The ugly: getting $1000 A.C. repair tomorrow

Miss you all. The bus has felt so empty lately. You guys get off or something? I mean really, just having a rough patch here. Don't abandon us. The struggle bus is still going In The same direction, still the same destination......please remember, it's destined for the pearly gates. There were quite a few travelers not so long ago. I thought this was a mission bus, we could struggle together. Kind of a joint effort. Not to worry, well get you there. This is just a front end alignment. We don't want to go off course. We don't want to veer off course because of a bump in the road! Please, I don't want t to arrive alone, I want to party with my peeps when we arrive. Non, Munda, Chris, Martin, Lynne, Dymphna, Bird, Ches, Jayne Mata, Christina Pheo, Lydia, Kaese, .....it's about struggling together to the finish.
Had some great swordfish tonight. See you tomorrow.

Honk honk honk. Still awake? Guten nacht
The Good: low carb strawberry smoothie, the ever devoted Peanut, eggplants on the vine
The Bad: hot, hot day
The Ugly: stuck home alone all day, while mechanic fixed AC
Hey Chris I'm hearing good things about that face of yours and couldn't be happier for you! Praise be to God.
Slept all night last nite! So grateful. Sounds like my daughter and her hubs and six kids will be living with us until they find a home to purchase.
OH!!!!! Go to bed is now open!
Oh my, Chris, I just now saw in one of your posts that your face has gone from good to bad. So sorry my friend. :pray3:

Bringing out a tray of warm milk and melatonin.
It did but thx 4 d prayers. PT said improvement will be up and down til this thing resolves. AMDG. Today walked 45 mins to mechanic to pick up car (finally have cold A.C. hooray). Home PTexercises. An egg and salmon for lunch. Took mom for Chinese buffet later. Best for low carb. Praying to St. Padre Pio.
PS. Where will all those six grandkids sleep? Sounds like itd be a full house
We have a small house behind our big house.. about size of a cabin. They just stay there. Too small...but more private for daughter.
So, this is the time, right? I can think about bed now! Don't want to actually sleep, but I do love to think about it. Think of absorbing a lot of rest and having a wildly productive day!
Yup, 5 lambs butchered and 2 useless sheep. Beer brats, ground lamb, roast leg of lamb. My freezer will be full and I will have choices! Sometimes the effort pays off. Next weekend we will be grilling lamb brats. No. I'm not. Really, I'm not bragging. One bad lightening storm could kill my freezer and my meat thaw. I know this. But, as of now...... :)
Chris if you make it in tonight, make sure you leave the back door open when you leave, don't want Ches locked out if he drops in, or any one else for that matter! Check shoes at the door. Some one dragged in unmentionables last nite. Dymphna had a fit. Just saying. I had to assure her Mata did NOT bring his horse in. He knows better.
You know, it's pretty weird that I have only had lamb anything once as a kid and did not like it. I tried making lamb stew once. Neither the dog nor the stray neighborhood cats would go near it. I don't know what I did wrong (other than shell out too much $$ for something I had no clue how to make), but here's the way Hubby described it when he got home from work, "What did you do today? It smells like somebody pissed on a radiator in here!" I had made an extra large batch knowing a bunch of guys from the base would be over for supper. That was the last of my attempts to make anything with lamb or sheep for that matter. I can't imagine it being a staple in our house. I bow to your cooking superiority, Miss Carleen.
So, where's Chris with the snack tray? Sorry, Chris, I know you are more than just a guy that brings snacks. I hope you aren't feeling bad. Let's see, Non, Bernadette, Elizabeth, Ches, how were your days? And anyone else as well. My brain isn't running at full capacity right now. Hopefully everybody had a wonderful day, and if not, I hope you were able to offer it up and grow in virtue. :)
OK, I've got to start an investigation to find out who let the "animal" in to mess up the floor. >:( :P
Dymphna, Lamb is not stinky. If it is, it's old. Or the sheep grazed on bad pasture. The meat bought in store is not fresh. Should be bought freshly butchered. So there. My house does not smell like piss on a hot radiator. When you come I'll make some if you are brave enough to try again! ;)

I'm so sorry Carleen! I certainly didn't mean to imply that your house smelled like anyone pissed on a radiator. I was just saying that I knew I had done something wrong and that smell was one of the ways I knew it. I just don't know what exactly I did wrong. Of course I will try it when I visit you. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear.
Oh Dymphna, really who cares about lamby pamby. In the scheme of things, not even on the radar! It's bed time in an hour. I will pass out I hope. Hubby is battling poison oak. Will need Prednisone. 3rd week and still new spots popping up all over. Poor thing.
Did y'all have at least an ok day? I am exhausted. I worked hard today so bout to fll face first into bed. Who am I kidding, I AM in bed. Well, on it.Daughter due next month? Due THIS month. In about 11 days. :pray3: Hope all goes well. Just wanted to tell all g nite.
What a strange day this has been. Up at 3 am with Hubby until about 7:30 am, fell back to sleep (not what I had in mind at all!) until 4 pm :eek: when Hubby got home. Then I ran around doing errands and got home just in time to tuck Hubby in a little while ago. Most of these things were completely out of the ordinary. Now I'll be awake for days. :-\
So, that was my day. It was crazy hot today. Even now, it's 93 degrees and 56% humidity. At almost 9:00 at night! We are in a heat advisory for now until 8 pm tomorrow. The prevailing opinion is that it will be extended to Thursday evening. I don't think I'll ever say enough thank yous to God for air conditioning. Prayers for those who don't have A/C but need it. :pray3: Hope you all are staying cool!

You slept all day Dymph?? Til 4pm??? >:( Goodness gracious...actually me too. Slept 4am to 4pm. Mea culpa maybe, or I really needed it. But yup throws off the sleep cycle. Read about a saint recently who had severe, chronic insomnia. Think of the insmoniac mystics attacked every night be demons. Padre Pio always looks tired in pics, videos of him.
Today:
The Good: very low pain day, feeling again of major improvement
The Bad: $1000 A.C. car repair--not blowing very cold air. May need another part. Ugh. Oklahoma humidity in July is...purgatorial.
The Ugly: poison oak. Not fun. Carleene, calamine lotion? Epsom salt baths? Could unite sacrifice with St Damien the leper priest. Similar pain Id think. This one time...at boy scout camp...I was itching literally
every part of my body for a day or so. Later broke out in poison oak. Huge swollen lesions covered nearly
every square inch of my body for a couple weeks, even where the sun don't shine.
My husband has poison sumac. Going on 3 weeks now. They gave him Prednisone when creams did not work. It's everywhere you do not want it. Just not enough Prednisone. It was working, but he needed about 4 more days worth. Now it's spreading again. Poor you. Poor hubby.

Oh that poor man! My niece is dealing with a terrible outbreak of poison oak. It's everywhere on her. She works in a factory that makes wood cabinets. In other words, not an air conditioned building, so she sweats something terrible which compounds her itchiness. Hopefully the doctor will put her on something soon besides Benedryl. Hubby was so freaked out by it that he wouldn't give her a ride in the dune buggy. He was afraid she would leave it in the seat and someone would get it from her that way. God has been very good to me in that I've never had poison anything. Hubby has had it and will do anything not to get it again. :lol: Using Aveeno soap (made with oatmeal) in a cold shower seemed to help a little bit she said. I don't know, but I feel so bad for her! And your Hubby, Carleen. Prayers for them and anyone else suffering from this stuff. :pray3:
Thank you Dymphna! Yes miserable. Chris sorry for you too. Yup where the sun don't shine. He has an appointment Thursday, hoping to get Prednisone. Only thing that works when it spreads this bad.
Anyway. They removed 17 nodes from my brother. There were only 2 nodes with cancer and those were the two nodes that had tumors. Thanks be to God! He has appointment Monday w oncologist. He will receive final word on that. keep up the prayers until sure!
I am truly sorry for not opening up earlier. It will be my fault my grievous fault, if my peeps are walking the halls all night, not K owing if it is truly time to go to bed. There may be unbrushed teeth. There may be missed night time snacks. There could be full bladders not being released before this bedtime no one knew was happening. Bedheads that do not happen, dreams not dreamed, night time prayers unsaid. Oh how will I make this up to you all?
Ok. Go to bed. It's time, late, but hopefully not too late. I know. My goodnight is not all that necessary or important. Good night.

So your brother is now possibly cancer free? Prayers to St. Peligrino and St. Padre Pio. :pray1: :pray1:
That bad case of poison oak was when I was in boy scouts. Dr. Weil (looks like santa) says witch hazel helps the blisters. :shrug:
I am now using my recently acquired mystical powers, to bilocate to Kansas, Michigan, and New York to tuck in Dymphna, Carleene, and Ches. Id visit others too if I knew where you lived. Let me know. :)
Go to bed! OPEN NOW! IM HERE! Come on in. Tell me you story. Any story. Doesn't even have to be true. Just come. Have a drink with me. My day is done. All is well. Well enough any way.
Chris how about an update.Getting better? Oh I hope so. I am doing better. Back on meds. Much more functional. Sad it takes med, but it is what it is.
Had a good day. Went to lunch at McDonald's and I had an ice cream cone, which was delicious. :) Then therapy, then home. Listed some stuff on ebay; put away some laundry; downloaded and organized some ebooks, and here we are.

Well tbh very bad pain day. Even with ibuprofen. I end up lying down a lot with phone in my hand for distraction. Half reading. Half spaced out. Dog staring at me. Try to remind myself to do ejaculatory prayers. The worst part when it flares up bad is feeling so disassociated I feel half dead. And then I think of Ches and others here with their own cross. AMDG.

Oh Chris this makes me sad. I go from hopeful to discouragement when I read this. So sorry to hear this. Dear Lord, please allow more improvement for my friend Chris. Please Lord. He just wants to finish school and move on! Please God. We will keep on praying and begging for his well-being and degree, until he is cured or clearly shown a different path.
And yet, Chris,you find the strength and time to nightly, every night, bring us snacks, yes some a bit questionable, but snacks and drinks. I don't know what to say, Chris. This is just too kind of you. What are lamb fries?

Dont be sad Mama Carleene. Its ok. Im knocking off some serious purgatory time I'd think, which is good, plus there'll be more abundance of pleasures and delights in eternal paradise. Truth be told, when you do the math, that's not a bad deal. :)
Lamb fries? You all were talking about butchering lambs earlier. One time I went by myself backpacking near Sante Fe, New Mexico. Stopped in Amarillo, TX at the famous Big Tex (home of the free 72 ounce steak, if you can eat it in an hour). I ordered up the "lamb fries" not knowing exactly what they were until later the waitress told me. Like Chevy Chase in Funny Farm.

That's pretty funny Chris. Disgusting, but funny. I'm kind of sad that I knew what those are. I'm sorry you are having so much pain, but I really appreciate your attitude. I wish I could adopt it. I'm working on my temper, but it still gets the best of me sometimes. You all help me keep things in perspective and aid me in finding beauty all around me in various stages. Anyway, thank you for setting a good example. I sure wish there was something I could do to help. Unfortunately all I can offer is prayer, which you have every day.
God bless and keep you and yours,

I talked to Fr. Rutledge on Sunday after Mass. He'll be saying a Mass for my healing. That would actually be the most powerful prayer to offer for me! Plus praying to St Padre Pio.
I'm not sure my attitude is anything special. I dont have any other choice. Is what it is.
You're a shining example yourself Dymph. You remind me of my wife. Strong, pious, full of zeal, charitable, hard working. Maybe even similar temperaments. At least that's how you come across.
I'll tell you what. Here's something to look forward to. When I recover in the future--Gods will be done-I'm sure we'll be taking another trip up to St Marys sometime. Like for Christ the King Festival. If you'll have us, we'll drop by your place on the way there, for a visit. To meet the famous Dymphna! And you can meet the famous Christulsa!

You're on! We (mostly Hubby, but me too when I'm not migraining) spend most of our time in St Marys anyway. Between family, friends, and the airplane hangar holding our Weedhopper and now the powered parachute, we are always around there. So give me a call (I'll pm it to you whenever you are ready), and we can meet up somewhere, have a laugh or two, or three or four for that matter! lol Sorry, but it will just be me, the not famous dymphna17. :-\ 8) I love the Christ the King Festival! It gets bigger and better every year. Definitely get ahold of me and we'll see what we can do. ;)
I'll be sure to join my prayers with Fr Rutledge's when he says Mass for you. Regarding the bolded sentence; yes, you have another choice. You could decide not to accept God's current will for you and constantly fight it. It wouldn't get you any further along and possibly get him too upset to visit with you. Just a thought. Have a great night!
Chris Dymphna, you two have pleasant conversations! Fun to read. Chris if you meet Dymphna before I meet Dymphna, well I will be happy for you, but sad I wasn't with you guys! I think we would be a great 4 some, including your wife, Chris. Actually a 6 some. Dymph's and my hubby too. My hubby can beat up your hubby, Dymphna. Just saying. He is agile as a cat. Former Marine and boxer. Tell hubby not to try anything. :)

Ya think so, eh Carleen? He had better be agile like a cat, cuz' if my Hubby gets ahold of your Hubby, it would be like squishing jello through your fingers. Former Sailor and wrestler. He wrestled his older brother every day for years. Just sayin'. It's kind of looking like we might be in Vinita, OK at the end of the month to look at a 2 place Quick Silver with a friend. We may very well be able to set something up, Chris. It's going to depend on 3 things. 1. The other guy's timeline and 2. With the ever precarious nature of my head, if it's OK, it's a go, and if it's not good, it's a no go, and 3. How you are feeling. Carleen, you might want to call Expedia now. Unless, like me, you want to save the money and just sleep in the rental car. :lol: :P 8)
Edited: To correct the plane we would be looking at in Vinita. It's a 2 place Quick Silver, not a 2 place Weedhopper. Sorry about that.
Ok. He's like a cat. There. I said it. My guy will not beat up Mr, Dymphna. He won't. Tell hubby to stand down.
So, choir practicing tonight. Just lovely. The dinner they made looks wonderful. It quit raining. Sun shining....UGH! So stinking muggy and hot. Not at all pleasant. Hiding out in bedroom with AC.
Cris, AC working well yet? Does home have AC or is that a dumb question? So, what delights have you prepared for us tonight? We are getting fat on your superior food prep. How's the face today?
Dymph, how are you today, my dear? Did you have a good one? I had a very bad moment about mid day. Got over it and moved on. Thanks be to God! Sometimes you just have to roll with it and forget it. A bad moment does not completely wreck a whole day.rigjt?
MLG??? Just wanted to say good night, just in case I...ummm...errrr, forget, not likely, but maybe forget you again.
We also know what time it is...
Time for Chris to show up with the goodies
Right Chris? But please, Chris no funnies. No lamb fries, no rockey mountain oysters, no animal gonads. You're too big for such pranks, but not to big for big mama to put you over my knee. Still have the paddle with small holes drilled in it. Oh yeah, every kid can remember the paddle. Don't make me do that. Would hurt me much more than you! Now...behave
G-nite all! Guess what? I am typing on my tablet! All of a sudden, it's working again. Still don't know why it wasn't or why it is working now! But hey, I'm grateful it is now. I can, much easier carry on with what Chris call ed my apostolate. Lol.
I would like to think of this as my apostolate but that's just a touch too lofty. Kaese may have a bit of a problem with that. If giving hugs and talking smack is all it takes...I'm in. But I know better than that. Besides I'm pretty sure Chris was just being cute about it, so I'm out.
G-nite my peeps. G-nite Ches, Chris, Martin, Pheo, Keph, Mata, Martin, Heinrich, Non, Miriam, Bird, Dymphna, MLG, Munda, Christina, Orate, Lydia, Jayne, AKavit, Christe, OC, mikemac, ummmm, meh, probably short more than a few, but...G-nite anyway. Still rejoicing over the fact I can type on this thing again!
Bringing out a (late) tray of mint cucumber coolers and batter-fried green tomatoes, fresh from the garden.
Lowish pain day, PT, doc appointment, napped, wife off today, pharmacy, groceries, prayed at hospital chapel--rosary, stations, holy hour (3 chances for a plenary indulgence!), humid here too, A.C. in house but still not very cool in car (one fan needs wiring)
Dymph-- sounds like a plan! Visit your place or hang out in St Marys. Last time there was 10/14. Lunch at Froggys was nice, with Fr. McBride. The plane sounds fun. If a miracle comes my way this month, :pray1: we'll meet you in Vinita for steak dinners on us! 😊
Mama Carleene--ok no more exotic treats, for now ;), you had a "rough spot" today?, retreated to back bedroom with A.C.? Me 2. Seems your tablet is ok now. We need more men active in gotobed. Ches? Martin? Mata is a guy? I bet Matto would drop in, great guy, newish on SD. Btw, I was an Eagle Scout and wrestled in high school so you girls tell your husbands to watch out for Chris! :)
Can't sleep. :-\ I'm making cocoa. :cheeseheadbeer:
Well, I probably should....go to bed that is Good nite Bird. Enjoy your hot cocoa. Chris???? Good nite. Dymph......good nite. MLG....Good nite. EVERYONE ELSE?????? GOOD NITE! Love you guys. Sleep tight. Don't let the bedbugs...well...you know.
Guess I'll open up tonight. Cocoa's already finished, but I'm still not sleepy. :( How was everyone's day?
Bringing out a tray of strawberry milk and strawberry shortcake.
I got here first. (Edit scratch that Bernie was here first) Its gotobed time. Or are ya'll out back swimming or what? Wish I could meet Dymph in Vinita, OK when she comes down here. Perevangelica? Mato?
Today PT exercises x 3, 30 min walk, finishing purgatory book, car A.C. not working well, needs another repair, glad Carleen's (no "e" at the end of Carleen, Chris) tablet works for her apostolate
Do you find that purgatory book coming into your mind as you ride in your hot car, Chris? :P

Oh thank you, Bird. Yes, we are open. Come fill mama in. And Bird, maybe a second cup will do the trick. Hate to see you face a sleepless night! Not sleeping at all, sure gives an appreciation how l-o-n-g the night really is! So. Will say a prayer that you sleep tonight. :pray3:

Actually yes. I was thinking about that the other day in the car, how hot it is in purgatory, so I was able to offer it up. :pray1: :)
YES, Chris, hot car= pugatory. Offering up and enduring may be cause for sainthood! Really, I would melt on my way to church. Even at church we get minimal airconditioning.
Did not see my friend Kevin tiday. Hope he is ok. Had another man who usually panhandles outside our church, in the parking lot. Before Mass I was setting up for potluck. This poor man comes in hot and almost drooling. But, instead of asking for money.....he asked for food. So I had the pleasure of feeding a hungry panhandler. Made him up a plate and told him to come back after Mass and all the dishes that were baking would be ready. He actually attended Mass then came down for more food. Makes me happy to feed a hungry man or woman. When they ask for money, I get flustered because this particular man is usually high and money just contributes to this. He is usually dirty and carrying a Styrofoam container of food. Today he had no food with him. And I firmly believed he was hungry. So I enjoyed feeding him. God bless him.
God bless you, Miss Carleen!
:pray2: for Kevin and the hungry man

Unfortunately, no. But I just noticed St Joseph Workbench under your name, so it just tells me I was right all along. Yes. And no. To me you never reminded me of a woman. Don't know where our fellow poster got that idea. Oh, and this was not discussed in Go to bed. May have been a pm. Please, laugh. I am squirming Mata.
Mata??? Oo... Mata???? Oo....
Unless you reply Mata, and put my fear that I have lost you to gender nonsense, I'll just say :seeya: :seeya: it's been nice. And things were going so well. :-\

It's late, and I can't make heads or tails of this thread. I think I'd better go to bed... and trust that all will be set right in the clear light of day.
If we shadows have offended,
Think but this and all is mended,
That you have but slumber'd here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
If you pardon, we will mend.
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearnéd luck
Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call:
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends.

Ok, definitely open now. Was out picking weeds until dark. No Kaese, not that kind of weed. I may be a woman of the 70's but not that kind of woman now! Just an ordinary big mama. I am your most ordinary of the ordinaries. As a matter of fact I actually bore myself. But I'd rather be bored than having an exciting life, but living a life without light. A bad life is lived in the dark. Yup, give me a nice old fashioned, predictable, rocking chair kind of life any day over the other option.

Good man. St. Teresa's nuns once traveled in the summer to make a foundation, and were able to profit by the heat in their covered wagons by meditating on hell.

My dear bedheads,
Hope your day was a blessing to you and those you care about! Husband and I enjoyed a quiet day making progress on kitchen cabinets. Said our prayers. Laughed at each others stupidity. Enjoyed the weather, pulled weeds.
It is time to turn in. Me...not you. If you stop in, jot a note and tell me about your day. Really do enjoy reading about your day. Reading about the good, the bad, the ugly... as I've said before. So go ahead. Fill the page. Chris, AC all better? Dymphna, that head of yours? Ches, how's the fam? Praying for a good job, that fits the bill. Lydia...ummmm, errr...did you have a good day? Bird?? Got a report? A good one? Mata....we doing better tonight? Kaese??? Oh, you do know my tablet is typing again. Remember, it typed everywhere but here, on thevforum. Weird, huh? Just started working again. Non...how's my sweet friend? Still walking? Per E. Another sweet friend, you have an enjoyable day? Good night and GOD bless you and send great dreams.
Love to all,
Carleen, working on it

Dear Christe Eleison,
You spread good will and encouragement wherever you go. God bless you for that. :grouphug:.
Carleen
Dear Munda,
You are a great mama, and a lot of fun. God bless your sleep and your day tomorrow!

Dear Martin,
I forgot you my little cupcake! Good night, Martin. Sleep tight...... :grouphug:
Love, Mama
Dear Carleen, I hope you've had a good day up until now. And God bless it from now down until then! :pray3:
My dear friend Dymphna,
Why thank you for your kindness. You are too good to me, for sure. And you my dear, I truly hope your head complies and your day, tomorrow will be a day filled with comfort and peace. No clanging cymbals, no pounding drums, no noisy head banginging tomorrow, dear Lord. Please God, put her head to bed tonight, not to be heard from until the sunrises and beyond ...please God. Hear my prayer for Dymphna.
Go to bed, my little bed heads, is officially open, unless some sneaky little bedhead has sneaked in and opened up already! Love you guys!
Bringing out a tray of Mexican beer with lime and salt, and shrimp cilantro tacos.
Today: PT exercises, read, prayed, blogged, visited with sister, made a couple doc appointments, debating Vatican II with Quare (makes good points), wishing Ches would cough up some jewels of wisdom about the human condition. Last 2 days my face has very substantial improvement, even more than before! Hope building. Thanks to PT I think. But now have toothache. AMDG. IF St Padre Pio perchance should heal me by months end (ya never know) we'll meet Dymph and her hubby in Vinita, OK for those steak dinners on us. But maybe in exchange for a ride in the airplane they're wanting to buy?
I love you too Mama Carleen.
If you meet up with Dymph, I will be happy for you Chris!
And you FACE! getting better, is a wild happy piece of news. Thanks for sharing that little nugget of great news. Could be therapy, could be time to be over. The therapy is good regardless.
I'll take the tacos and salted beer.Sounds great! Had some grapefruit Shandy tonight. Really tasted grest.. He, my living at home son, made grilled pork loin, salad from garden and garden beets. Greek bread grilled withmprovolone. Great dinner.

I don't eat anything that lives in water. And I suppose you could call it that. :shrug:
at skilled nursing facility where I do the day program I go to for therapy. Not sure how long i will be here but too anxious to fall asleep right now. Was hard for my wife to bringg me here but glad to have this place when caring for me at home is to much
stayed there last night and today my son came to visit. Have to have a lot of adult conversations but because I also want to see my kids, cant have those adult conversations with kids around so it is all on google hangout, not an ideal way to conduct marital bussiness
chris how is PT going what kind of exercises do you do for your face? gladyou think it is helping
Wish I had pearls of wisdom to give, I am not so confident in my own way of dealing with this right now.

Chris, I think he is. They are still seeing each other. If it's not working.....at their age....they would just stop instead of wasting time. Really. Too old to be messing around. He has never taken up with a gal just to have a gal. To date someone means you want to find out if they make a suitable match. Seems they do. ;)
Mama Carleen, you are easy to love.
Chris, I have really been getting a lot out of your posts. You make a lot of sense and speak so clearly - and you are fun and charitable. I enjoy your snacks too! Creative and delicious.
Today I went for a walk AGAIN, but this time it was longer and UPHILL and DOWNHILL and UPHILL again... Over hill and dale. I was pooped. Next time I should start an hour later and bring water, to beat the heat (though it wasn't that bad). (I have been walking consistently but not that far)
I've been saying a novena with the Chaplet of the Holy Face for Trump (joining a group of relatives/Republican/Catholic folks). I'm now adding to my intentions all SD people with pain in the face or head (or anywhere).
Good night, to anyone who is going to bed late. Otherwise, good morning!
Ok. Line up, Mata, Chris, Martin, Ches, Heinrich, Non, Munda, Per E., Pheo, Kaese, Christe, Dymphna, Lynne, Lydia, Birdie, Christiha, Obriej, Angel , Gardener, Greg, Pon, RSC ...all you resistors and all willing participants,, just line up.
:grouphug: :hide: :grouphug: hugs for who wants them and a scaredy cat hug for the resistors. Good nite to friend and foe! Everyone needs a hug from mama whether you want one or not. There now, didn't hurt a bit, did it? We should do that more often, huh?

love reading the story about the homeless guy,madmehappy
The therapist does cranial manipulation some days, which is based on osteopathic manipulation, where I lie on my back and she sits at the head of the table subtly shifting my facial bones back and forth. It relaxes the muscles and relieves pain, but also helps reset the normal muscle tone. Some muscles are tight, others have poor tone feeling like sand. Gradually the muscles fall back into their normal tension and tone. Other days we do posture exercises, which I also do several times a day at home, since facial muscles are affected by neck and back muscles, which are affected by problems with posture.
My face feels a lot better since starting PT 3 weeks ago. Less pain overall, far less bad pain days, less tightness. Started feeling more normal muscle tone maybe 10 days ago, and even more so in last few days. Hoping everything starts to fade away soon.
You liked the story about St. Benedict John? Me too. He seemed to be dealing with some sort of mental illness. My first thought was I hope those monasteries that turned him away understood his instability enough to try and send him back home to his parents. Not sure the Church would encourage wandering, homeless monks ?? But the guy just wanted to give his whole life to God. Makes me think of all the homeless people. I'm sure there are some insane homeless people out there who are also saintly. At least we have a roof over our heads and air conditioning. I cant imagine their suffering.

Bringing out a gigantic joint of medical marijuana for Ches, the size Bob Marley use to smoke. Hope that won't offend anyone. Applying the principle of double effect. ;) I hear ya brother. 7/10 sharp nerve toothache pain tonight for me, even after tooth ointment and ibuprofen. Started last week. Seeing dentist in morning. AMDG. :pray1: You know someone in the world needs to explain more deeply what
pain is beyond the definition "noxious stimuli" they taught us in school. Noxious?? Well ok thats just getting nauseous. Pain seems to me like a defect in our biology God put there as a form of suffering. Pain is a signal to the brain that there is injury or disease that needs attention. That's what it is. But why doesn't the darn thing turn off once it alerts the brain? Facial muscles tell the brain "Help, I'm tight." The brain says "Ok Im on it. I'll send signals to start relaxing the muscle. No need to constantly tell me. Just check in with me once in a while if the muscle is still tight." But instead the stinking muscle sends a constant "noxious stimuli" to the brain that interferes with your ability to think or function, when all that was the matter was the muscle was "tight." ugh lol. Know what I mean? And what's the deal with nerve pain it has to hurt so much? I get that at first a damaged nerve is going to keep sending pain signals since there's pain neurons that get damaged, but nature could've designed pain neurons to shut down at some point. And is depression an actual form of pain?? I'm dealing with it due to my pain and depression hurts my brain and skull. Feels like a soggy wet towel wrapped around my cortex suffocating it. AMDG. Anyways, good night Ches, Carleen, Dymph, Bernie, Perevangel, etc.

Our Lord has ways of reminding us to hit our knees, eh, Chris? I do hope and pray things are better for you. Part of this head banging I've got going on has your name written all over it.
As for Vinita, I won't know for sure until at least the weekend is over. The guy in Vinita is stalling for some reason. The guy who is looking to buy it can't sit still very long when he has money in his pocket. The last time we were waiting one out, he drove out to North Carolina, bought one, and trailered it back, all over a weekend. Anyway, I will sure let you know as soon as I know something for sure. As for going for a ride, as soon as you all get up to St Marys, let me know and we get you a ride in an enclosed airplane. The man we hangar the Weedhopper in, is owned by just the nicest man you'll ever want to meet. Sorry, Heinrich and Ches, you all come in a close 2nd and 3rd (I'll let you all settle that between you ;) ) but the man who owns the hangar and runway comes in first. He lives to take people up in his plane. He'd do it all day if you let him. Anyway, Chris, not to bum you out or anything, but the plane we are hopefully coming down to look at is a 2 seater version of this:

The main variation, besides the 2 seats, is that the motor and propeller would be behind you. Hey I found a picture of one. This is what it would look like:

Here's a video of Hubby flying the Weedhopper. It kind of gives you an idea of what it's like. And yes, I'm bragging. My Husband can do pretty much anything he puts his mind to, and I think it's pretty cool for him to have chosen this to be one of those things. He likes to fly low and do fly-by's for little kids, but the Weedhopper, like the Quick Silver will go over 10,000 ft. You'd have to carry oxygen with you if you plan on going that high. Anyway, Here is one of Hubby's videos;

Neither one of the guys have flown a 2 seater yet, especially one they haven't gone through and at least changed all the bolts on. There's no way they would bring someone else up in it until they have flown it a few times and made all the necessary corrections. If that changes your mind about meeting up I understand. But I sure would like to have that steak with you. Not on you, but with you. lol I'll let you know as soon as I do. :)
On my way, chillins. Mom has work to do tomorrow. G-nite all!
Does anyone remember the very early days of the internet there was a Trad Catholic proto-blogger (fairly well know at the time) who got badly smashed up in a plane crash. I think he was flying a Cesna. Anyone remember his name?

I don't know but I have a guy that might. I'll send an e-mail and get back to you. :)
Really, we are open, come on in and mix a tall one. You name it, it's here. Remember....coasters. please and take shoes off at the door. Just got us some new rgs. I'd hate to find dog poop on one of the new rugs.
Your stupid mama was so excited about her refinished doors for kitchen cabinets last nite as choir was citing in. First stupid thing...I grabbed a door and knocked a beer over getting beer all over the place. Daughter came in right after we cleaned that mess up...again, excited, still stupid, I grabbed a door and knocked over the polyurethane? It landed on one girls shoes and splashed all over my finished, beautiful drawers. Got that cleaned up and promised not to show anything to anybody as the cone in. I felt like such a bad dog last nite.
Good night everyone. Tomorrow will be another day of getting it done. We have a lot done now. By the time counter is finished, so will the rest of the kitchen. yahoo!

Unmotivated day home alone, but tomorrow action packed day with the wife.
Good night.
Open! Oh so open.... now. We can have drinks and go from there. Worked so hard today and I am sore, very sore my therapy has been quite challenging, but it is helping me do more around the home. Getting stronge?. Between refinishing the kitchen cabinets (stripping paint off and then putting on stain and polyurethane) I've been spending hours pulling weeds. How bout chu? It was hot and humid here. Mata?
G-nite. Zzzzzzzz
Go to bed is open. Come tell me a story. A real life story.
Ok. No stories. I'm alright with that. Anyone experience the snow storm they were predicting? Well, gonna turn in. Getting late,mom seeing doubble. That's my tell. If I ignore it, it gets worse and I just keep falling asleep, so really, why fight it?
G-night all. Won't even try listing names. Never manage to get everyone I want to, anyway.

Go to bed is open. Come tell me a story. A real life story.
Went to a wedding yesterday where the groom, one of the sweetest kids I've ever known, married a girl I've only met a couple of times. There were maybe 100 people at the reception. Everything was impeccable and beautiful despite the meager setting. Of course your mind goes racing back to your own wedding day. How much of it do you remember? The whirlwind of excitement, the intense "get ready" time, the nuptials and Mass, the reception, whoosh! All gone in the blink of an eye. Morning prayers begging God to help you get through it all, pearls of wisdom from Dad/Mom, the sermon whoosh! Also gone in the blink of an eye.
As an outsider looking into the dramatic tornado that is a wedding I found myself praying, "Dear God, help them make it! They are so young and have so many mistakes to make, give them the grace to stay with You always, and to look to You for their strength, loyalty, and love, so they can raise their family always in Your sight." But I do remember that tornado. *sigh

OPEN!!!! I think everyone should be in bed by 10, so I don't miss anything. Really.Grand things could be happening and if I got to bed early, well, I won't get to participste. Now, if everyone goes to bed by ten, well, I won't miss anything!

I've been struggling a lot with sleep deprivation lately, so we are implementing a 9:30 bedtime for the time being. Well, 8:30 for littles 9:00 for bigs, middles depend on behavior, adults 9:30. You won't miss anything from me ;D. Nothing to miss, anyway. I'm terribly mundane.
In other news, my 12 year old made a delicious meal for the family this evening, start to finish, without any help from me (other than giving her recipes). I'm so proud! She made one meat loaf, a dozen mini meat loaves (in muffin tins), mashed potatoes, and roasted broccoli with Parmesan. All homemade. It was so good! Everyone enjoyed it. We set a nice table and lit candles in honor. It was funny....when the littler kids all came in from playing outside, and saw the table, several of them said, "whose feast day is it?!" Hahaha
Oh, and the baby sprouted a tooth today! Thus the sleep deprivation.
Kitchen cleanup next, Rosary, visit with husband, bed

Now THAT's a well rounded day! And Woo Hoo! 12 yo :cheer: You're doing something right, Munda, when the little ones understand the grandness that is a feast day. Sorry, but your application to be mundane has been rejected. Your little side of the ant hill is teeming with possibility, if nothing else. :cheeseheadbeer: 8)
Just finished working for the night. Wow what a job. But nearing the end of this portion. 990;% of my part done! Two coats poly on a few doors more, and one door to do from scratch.

Woo Hoo!! You are so disciplined. I'll bet they are going to be beautiful. Are the countertops wood as well? A good friend of mine was always good at stuff like that. She would get impatient though and it cost her a pretty penny a couple of times. She decided to redo their kitchen floor with laminate once and didn't want to wait for her Husband to help. She moved the refrigerator out easy enough, but scratched the new floor pushing it back. Easy enough to hide. When she went to pull the stove out to put the flooring down under it, she really struggled with it. She finally got it, but about a half hour later the neighbor lady came running over because she smelled gas from the direction of my friend's house. My friend had pulled the connection or something loose when she pulled the stove out. Needless to say, she learned how to cultivate her patience a little better after that! Then there was the time she decided to wallpaper her living room and dining room in time for the first Thanksgiving her parents and a new Priest were coming from out of state. Yes, I'm sure you have guessed it, the wallpaper wasn't dry enough by the time everyone arrived. The youngest was walking around fascinated with the new pretty paper on the walls. By the end of the evening there was about 5 panels on the floor! Bless her heart though, she didn't let anything stop her. She can do just about anything now and her house is gorgeous because of her persistence. You've just got to have enough courage to try and will to not give up. Right?
Is everyone ready for bed? Had a good day? Rosary said? Time for night prayers? Do you say yours separately or rosary and night prayers together? Just curious.
Usually we say two rosaries separated by several hours. I am not like your friend. Many things I can't do and won't even try. I'm not that brave nor will I risk wrecking me rails that are expensive. I've been refinishing furniture since 18. I enjoy it, plus it's something I know I can do. So I do. I like sensible but pretty. I love mission style. I used to like victorian, but grew out of that. Used to refinish antiques, now I'm looking for functional. If that happens to be antique or not makes little difference. I have many antique pieces, but that is from our victorian days. If it pleases my eye, I'm happy. This is a farm house. I hate canned country, but love true farm look. Though I probably go a bit further towards pretty.

Thank you, I think. I often wonder if people telling you your life is "idyllic", if that is a complement or a "roll their eyes at you" moment ;D. It's not always quite so picture perfect, but we do have our moments. And, we work really hard to cultivate a strong family culture. It's more like organized chaos, though....or, something. And, honestly they are more like squirrels, and they're all at a rage. No ducks; no rows ;). But, even squirrels can and should be taught good table manners! Which seems more easily practiced with glassware instead of paper plates and cups :P

Today: PT exercises, read, prayed, blogged, visited with sister, made a couple doc appointments, debating Vatican II with Quare (makes good points), wishing Ches would cough up some jewels of wisdom about the human condition. Last 2 days my face has very substantial improvement, even more than before! Hope building. Thanks to PT I think. But now have toothache. AMDG. IF St Padre Pio perchance should heal me by months end (ya never know) we'll meet Dymph and her hubby in Vinita, OK for those steak dinners on us. But maybe in exchange for a ride in the airplane they're wanting to buy?
I love you too Mama Carleen.
OK Mr. Chris! We are a go for this Saturday to head your way. They are to meet the guy at 10:00 AM at the Vinita Municipal Airport. Right now it doesn't look like it will take them more than an hour to an hour and a half. Does that sound doable for you? I know it's short notice and all. Just let me know when you can. :cheeseheadbeer: 8)

Bummer you're not at home and the transition to those new meds. I can relate. When I took gabapentin and ambien that made me feel kind of zombified. Tried lorazepam as a tranquilizer for panic attacks but afterwards I had some dark thoughts. Turns out it can cause depression and suicidal thoughts.
I never had panic attacks before except maybe a couple times many years ago, but from February through May I had too many to count. One of the worst experiences as you know. Havent had any more. Most were more a minor kind, whatever that is called.
When I got home from PT my Filipina wife had her usual Filipino spread on the table for lunch. Sweet potato leaf salad from the garden, jasmin brown rice, and the salmon head soup was made with tomato, bell pepper, and mushroom flavored with lemom grass and ginger. :)
When I go to PT some days I just lie there and get cranial manipulation. Other days I work on posture and my core, ie abdominal muscles. Its all connected to the face. At home there are several exercises to stretch my shoulders and back and strengthen my back. Amazing to think how everything in the body is connected.
My goal and prayer is to be able to return to school next January to finish the last semester. Before that I need to tell the director by November if I can. So four months to "put Humpty Dumpty back together again" At least most of the pieces. :)
God's will be done.

Your PT sounds like mine. I lay on table real gentle neck and skull manipulation. Core work and lower back exercises. I am sore when I leave. My crash begins tomorrow. No more med and withdrawl. Say a prayer it is no too bad. It involves stomach upset, headaches, restless legs, sleeplessness to name a few torments.
Eating cukes fresh from the garden. Got pretty close to finishing the work refinishing the drawers and doors. Need to finish in morning. They look very good hung back up. I am happy with the result.
Go to bed if you are tired. I am tired, but not ready yet. Come get a drink and whatever. It's here. Everything. Is right here. How did your day go? The good. The bad. The ugly. You start.

I always feel very relaxed after the cranial manipulation. Offering my cross for you tomorrow that it'll be mild. Maybe good food and beverages help? Me I gained 20 pounds the last few months just from eating as a form of pain management.

No, food does little for me. I have a light appetite anyway, and none during the withdrawl. But thanks anyway. 20 pounds? Poor man putting on weight is easy, taking it off can be monumental. Thank you for your sweet offering Chris. I will count on that. It's such a blessing to have this contact with other Catholics. Love you guys and gals! :seeya: :seeya: hmmmmm, why am I in a box?
Wow! You know, if someone had the inclination, they could write a book about SD. Changing the fake names to protect those who think they are innocent. :lol: We have so much in common and yet are many times lightyears away from each other.
How do you know it's July? You have cottage cheese and fresh garden tomatoes for supper! Woo Hoo!

It seems like Carleen, Dymphna, PerEvangelica, Bernadette, Non nobis, Ches, and me really interact a lot, or am I missing somebody? If I left you out and you want to be a member of the club let me know. Carleen is the Den Mother, cheerleader, chronic sufferer. Dymphna is the Assistant Den Mother, SSPXer from Kansas, also chronic sufferer. PerEvangelica is the Stress Reduction Life Coach of SD, she knows suffering too. Bernadette the idealistic, brilliant, young mind of the group. Non nobis the inquisitive scholastic philosopher. Ches the perennial gadfly, potential victim soul saint, with subtle wit and posting style. And Chris the SSPX guy who stopped physical therapy school due to a strange ongoing medical crisis, fixated on purgatory and suffering saints, but provider of tasty evening snacks at gotobed. Again I hope I didnt miss somebody. :cheeseheadbeer:

That's all well and good, but you forgot the
tasty evening snacks this time! You can make it up to me with Braum's ice cream. Cherries, pecans, and cream please. I'll go make my rounds and then come back, eat some popcorn, and cultivate my patience until you get back. :popcorn: :grin: :lol:
Lydia. You forgot lydia, she stops in. Chris, I think you idea is fab. To be a member you have to post in here. But, we must be gracious to all. Lynne, she used to stop in, Munda Stops in alot. Maybe your idea is not so fab. Maybe I don't want to be den mother. What then, Chris? I'm feeling a bit ambivalent.

Oh, I love you, but a den is like a box. You guys need to spread your wings and fly. Unless you are broken winged. No den for my favorite and best.
if there are den mothers can we have a pinewood Derby?
How is the withdrawal going carleen

Vinita, OK has a Braums when you guys visit there. :)
So Chris, you and Dysphagia meeting up! I am thrilled for you both. :)
Today was very busy, so I had to drag my sorry butt wherever husband dragged me. Had to get put on his account. DO some banking. Mail some money out. Husband wrote three checks wrong. The fourth was the charm. Finally got it out. Came home. Then had to run out to therapy.
Came home again, Cleaned up for choir. You can imagine my house after two weeks of working on the kitchen. Even though hubby, tidy guy that he is, always cleaned the major part of the mess after working. Still the junk in our cupboards ando kitchen was just kinda dumped in the dining room. Slowly getting stuff back into drawers and cupboards.
A huge day of distractions from how I feel. Ches, you asked how withdrawal is going. So far so good. Tomorrow will show me how I'll be. But I was actually able to clean up and go out and do therapy. Which, thanks to Chris's sacrifice for me today, is usually impossible. So far, it is bearable.
Do they have that special sensory room, Ches? Hope so.
Pray for my brother who has to institutionalize his wife against her will. This is essential to keep her and others safe, and so she can get the help she needs. Brother is a wreck. Has to be done by police who then turn her over to hospital. She is 5 ft. And 90 pounds and will fight like a wild animal. They have forest behind their home. Hoping she won't get out and run into woods which she knows very well.
Bringing out a tray of Bloody Mary's (with homemade tomatoe juice using tomatoes from Dympha's garden, if that's okay) and sweet potatoe steak fries seasoned with sea salt.

Your brother had to restrain his wife? A danger to herself? Yikes. Not the brother dealing with cancer.
Glad my little sacrifice helped. I could set up a PayPal account and ask for stipends. Lol. Don't know how you can run around and do all those things. So you're sitting in your living room listening to the choir practice with your tablet? Won't be able to meet up with Dymphna. She has dysphagia, oh that's bad my mom has it for two weeks before.
Chris, dysphagia is what? Can't speak?
No Chris, I did not sit out with choir. I have crashed. Nothing needs doing. The choir grilled steaks tonight. I can't chew meat because of trigeminal. Sounds and smells awesome though.
This is another brother. We always thought she was looney. But, this is crisis looney. Once my brother woke up with a gun pointed at him, actually this was recent. So, of course he got every firearm out of the house. She thought people were coming in and taking her stuff then putting it back later. She believes the fbi is following her. Cia, too. They follow her where ever she goes. Yes, so sad. And sad to see my brother trying to protect her from herself. He has lost 40 pounds trying to deal with this. He was so distraught about having to have her put in hospital.

Lord have mercy. That's bad. If she hasnt already I hope she gets the right diagnosis and treatment in the hospital. It sounds like she has a mental illness like schizophrenia or schizoeffective disorder. I understand that usually the right medications will really stabilize the patient long term if they are willing to be treated. That's maybe one of the worst illnesses. St. Dymphna pray for us.
No steak with trigeminal. Man. Well something to look forward to in paradise. Btw, dysphagia = difficulty or inability to swallow like from a stroke or neuromuscular disorder. My mom had it for two weeks last December due to very bad acid reflux. It freaked her our into a constant state of anxiety from not being able to swallow so bad she had to stay with us for two weeks. Which was an ordeal with my wife working and me doing a clinical rotation. The family couldn't understand why it was such a big deal, but the panicky anxiety is uncontrollable because we're constantly unconsciously swallowing our saliva. When the muscles of the pharynx spasm you get a gag reflex. So it can literally feel like you're choking every few minutes. It was a two week nightmare for her, and us.

OK. I tracked down where the subject of me and dysphagia came from. Miss Carleen, I think your tablet corrected my name of Dymphna with the word dysphagia. Then a couple of posts down from that, Chris said;

Because of punctuation, it looks like he is saying we won't be able to meet in one sentence and then in the very next sentence he says "She has dysphagia, ..."
So, for the record, I do not have dysphagia. It has been interesting to learn about it though. Sadly, Chris and I won't be able to meet up in Vinita, but it's something to look forward to in the future. I hope that helps clear things up a bit. :) 8)

Open up this door right now, you two! Chris? Dymphna? Don't be trying to usurp big mama here. Did I say we were open? Well in truth open up anytime you want, if you need mama, I'm here. Just behave. No hootenanys.
Oh, the beloved 'go to bed' thread. My favorite! Please God let me sleep tonight so I'll be ready to enjoy tomorrow. Breakfast at Braum's in Independence and Lunch at Braum's in Vinita after checking out the plane. Please God let this plane be a good deal so I'll finally be able to learn to fly one without Hubby having a heart attack. Then over to Winganon next to Lake Oologah to get drone footage of the old homestead.
Up since 1 AM. That should count toward good sleep tonight, right? I've been trying to prepare myself to meditate my way into dreamland all day. You ready Miss Carleen? Are you laying down with fluffy pillows propping you up so you can use your tablet? This is Dysphagia talking. ;) I know Bernadette can't wait to hit the fluffy futon! Chris, what's on the menu tonight? How are you feeling? Ches, how are you holding up? It's Friday! One more day closer to home, right? Non, are you out walking?

Chris, update please?
Non, you running yet?
Munda, enjoy your trip.
Lydia, hope your evening is sweet and your sleep sweeter!

Keph, relax, not to worry about women. God has a perfect one for you and you'll have all the right words.

It really is. And it was the same price as Western-style mattress. Everyone should have one. :beer:
Carleen, this is why you are the Mama! You've got everybody on your mind while I'm too wrapped up in me. I was going to ask if I should wear my crimson top with the crocheted collar (crimson and cream are OU colors 8) ), my pink and black Harley shirt, my black and gold Harley shirt, or my boysenberry (reddish purple) top with a sweetheart neckline. Then I come on here and see such an awesome post that covers concerns about just about everybody! Maybe guilt will be conducive to sleep. :-[
Hubby took his Protege and Protege's Sister to an empty parking lot and let them drive the buggy! It was a competition to see who would get the furthest. Protege's Sister won, of course. She is a speed demon! Hubby has been teaching them to drive. They go out to the runway and buzz up and down. It's hilarious. They are so cute!

Truth be told face seems to be improving even more, with mostly low pain days. But here's the big hurdle. Since the TMJ facial pain started in March, I've been somewhat mentally disassociated from not only reality outside my mind (except for my face), but my personality itself. Put both hands across your face and apply pressure. Imagine adding pain. And then try to ignore it or at least disassociate from it. Because this thing is right in my face by my brain, its bizzare the sensation permeates your mind even if you try to shake it off. This afternoon a classmate texted me which "triggered" a chain of thoughts and them bam suddenly I felt overwhelmed. Went through what I've been calling a "dark spot" which is an hour or so of mental hell. But then I'm ok right now chilling out. My PT says when you really start recovering it will be up and down. Im getting plenty of ups which keeps my eye on the finishline, but the downs make me feel very pessimistic. I cant wait to getting back to being "me," joking, doing creative projects, blogging, running around town for the joy of it. I've been a walking zombie for four months. But when this things done Im hosting a pig roast here in gotobed with beer kegs
Big mama--any withdrawals?
Dymph--the Harley shirts would fit in in Vinita but not the OU crimson colors. You might get run out of town. Country rednecks are big OSU cowboy fans. Oh and beware in Vinita is the state mental hospital for the criminally insane. Btw I love ultralights. Very fun and you don't need a license. Oh and I want me a drone. Think of the things you could do with a drone. PS will you be passing near Salina on the way to the lake? If so you must stop at Wanda's blue hole spring for a dip in Its ice cold water. Its like an oasis this time of year.
The lobster is outstanding, Chris. I don't do beer, but thank you anyway.
Now, an OU fan back down from osu fans? :rofl: Are you high? I appreciate the heads up. I knew about the Eastern State Hospital. Fortunately, I've had MANDT training at the psych hospital I worked at, with the Security Supervisor job I had, and from the job I had at the prison. I haven't had zombie combat training though. So that could be a problem. :)
Please say a prayer we have a safe trip.
Have a great day you all! AMDG! :pray3: 8)

Don't say I didnt warn you if a cantankerous redneck Okie gets hostile about wearing OU colors. At the least you might get odd stares or a comment like "Where you from? You aint from around here are you." :)

In my last post I said I have been a walking zombie. Are you saying zombies are insane? >:(

Open for all. I'm sure Chris has got a splendid treat picked out for later. He must be getting tired of feeding the crew, but we have gotten used to this. He has spoiled us.

Well, no plane today. :( Sadly, there is not always truth in advertising. We'll leave it at that. >:( But now I hear the guys are hot on the trail of another one. A little closer to home this time, but not much.

Duly warned. And I think I would be cantankerous and hostile if I was a Cowboy fan too. It's got to stink losing over and over and over for years on end. ;) I never was from Vinita though. After seeing several OU bumper and window stickers we even actually saw a barn with a giant OU painted on the side, I couldn't help but think they may be getting a clue around there. I did wear crimson and black but out of reverence I left my OU earrings at home. :grin:
I forgot you said that about being a walking zombie. When I told Hubby about the hospital, he was teasing me about being trained for everything but a zombie attack. And yes, zombies are insane. It's the lack of sleep that gets them. :P
I'll try to get you drone footage when I can figure it out. :)
It was a good day. Braum's, Chelsea, Winganon, Lake Oologah, and home safe! What's not to love? Well, no plane, but God will remedy that in His time. Thanks for all your prayers everyone.

In other news, we enjoyed a wonderful day, relaxing on the back patio, after a weekend filled with family and friends. Fixing to feed kids dinner and wind down for the night. I hope the baby sleeps! She's a bit fiesty today. Back to the daily grind tomorrow

Oh! Yes, we did go to choir on Wednesday and kids bought snacks on the way to bring with (which turned out to be a huge ordeal, because the workers at Wendy's that day took forever and a day to get a few items together, and we ended up late to choir. Choir was enjoyable, though). I would call that just a weekly commitment, or activity. A trip is when we leave the house for more than a day to visit family or go on vacation. Simply a miscommunication.....that's all :). Feel free to be silly all you want, though ;)
Ok. Time to send my friends to bed with a wish for a blessed nights sleep. Of course I expect each of you will in turn say a little prayer for me, please.
Dear God, you know their hearts, their sighs and hopes and desires, please take them from each of these Christian souls, and bless their hearts with resignation peace and fulfillment, with a sweet splash of joy so they can face this week's challenges with confidence in your Divine providence. Thank you.
May all your guardian angels keep you covered and safe, you hear me? Spera, Lynne, Dymph, Christe, Keph, Non, Chris, Ches, Munda, Lydia, Kaese, Martin, Pheo, Gardener, Daniel, FaithfulSon, Orate, Heinrich, Red, Mikemac, Michael W., Mata, Matto, Obrien, Angel, Jayne, Greg, OC, Miriam, Jaca, and ummmmm. Ok. All those I can't remember.
Oh, sweet, bedtime in about 2 hrs. Another day down. Hope there is at least one good thing to offer Our Lord. Went shopping with husband. Bought some more grapefruit shandy ( Leininkugels?) Got one more rosary to offer up and then I will be winding down. How bout chew?
Rosary said. Got in a day of school, took oldest son to get a bracket from his braces replaced, and the baby has learned how to use her new tooth. Another day in the life. Time for a late dinner (smothered chicken and okra), then bed.
Going to dentist on Friday to see if my teeth hurt because of a dental problem, or if it's my trigeminal nerve. Haven't eaten normal food in quite a while because it hurts too much. Maybe he will be able to fix teeth if there is a problem. Sure do hope he can. I've eaten so little meat, because it hurts to chew. Looking forward to a nice country rib off the grill!
Hubby and I had fun shopping. Bought boxers and socks. He threatened to buy whitie tighties. So I dared him. He bought the boxers. I feel rich when I have the largest package of paper towels you can. When we were so poor we couldn't pay attention, I only used cloth napkins and never bought paper products. Now it has become a mania. Help me please, I'm drowning in paper. See how twisted we can become with a few years of deprivation? ;)
Picked up food for diet. Rats, gained weight this week, for the first time, even though I didn't cheat at all. I'm down to the last 5 lbs I want to lose, so I'm getting impatient. >:(
Maybe I'm gaining muscle from the longer walks I sometimes go on! Probably not; I'm going on one today in any case (there I said it, now I have to do it!).
I know, maybe I've been having too many of Chris' wonderful snacks! Eat virtual food, gain real weight? Who cares, they are worth it. :D

Munda - your dinner sounds mmm. Your family life is inspiring and motivating. :)
Carleen - I miss chewy meat too. I like the all you can eat steak at Golden Coral. One day.
Non - how did you loose the weight?
Dymph - looking forward to that drone footage. ;)

Oh and you too, no eatie meatie? I eat yogurt, ice cream, p. Butter, toast. Mostly.banana, canned veggies and fruits. So limited. Good for offering up. It's getting so I care very little about food. I used to love eating and now look forward to enjoying food again. But I can't complain, not really, I have a very special friend who cannot eat at all :(
G-nite all. Dysphagia will be by to tuck in those with no one to tuck them in. Chris still has some sweet melon balls so grab a few. Say thank you. Brush teeth. Go to bed. When you feel like it. :)

I accidentally posted my original post twice and couldnt delete it and it won't save without at least one character, so I deleted it and just put a dot. Daniel did that recently in his thread which got me worrying what was up too. His was basically a similar reason.
I've gotten use to a soft food diet these past months. I pay for it later in the day if I'm chewing too much. But my PT said she wants me eating more chewy meat but in small sizes, so I think I better take her orders and grill me up a good steak.

Cantelope and water! ;D
That probably would have worked better, but I am using the "Jenny Craig" program. It worked for me several times (over the decades I've lost it, slowly gained it back, and then repeated). It is very expensive. Because I'm lazy and don't cook, I like the fact that you get all the food except salad, fruit, etc. I'm used to frozen food anyway, and it tastes good to me. Maybe the worst thing is that it doesn't teach you how to select your own food, except during the final phase after you've lost the weight.
In other words, it wouldn't be for you or most people here who love to (or at least have to) cook, especially for a family! Because of the expense, it is going to have to be the last time for me.

Hey Chris, Dysphagia is back.
Yup, more proof I am a bit touched in the head. So, I spent a couple hours putting a finish on the oak trim boards for the kitchen, right? In between the sets for the doorways, I would clean my hands with mineral spirits, right. Ok. Here I am, happy, a big job done...so I go to the counter to clean my hands for the last time and I shove my hands into the polyurethane jar...took hands out , proceeded to rub hand and arms down. I'm a sticky mess. But job really is done.

That's because all the marbles are over here. Everytime I sweep under furniture, marbles go flying everywhere.....inevitably, they end up rolling under different pieces of furniture, awaiting the next thorough sweep of the house. If you come clean my floors, you can have ALL the marbles for free :D

I KNEW IT!! I knew I'd find good Catholic marbles here somewhere. I won't take them all (you never know when you might need some), but have you given thought as to where the owners might be? An insane asylum? Homeless on the beach in San Diego? Isolation cells in prison? ;) Thank you for your kind offer. I greatly appreciate it. Supper was awesome, btw. That too, was greatly appreciated.
Chris - No, I've not flown the Weedhopper. I've flown the Piper Cherokee, so flying isn't completely foreign to me. I have driven the Weedhopper up and down the landing. Hubby ran up and down the runway with me.
Meh....is it that time already? I am one Shandy shy of a complete over indulgence, so yes the rest of the twelve pack is right there, in the cooler and available to the next 8 callers! And yes, 4 is more than enough.
The choir made me do it. Plus hubby was gone. :whistling:
Ok. No takers? That's ok. Really. Probably waiting for Chris with his super duper fancy pantsy treats. Ya know Chris, you can't wait too long, we will find something. To eat. And drink.
It is that time again! Just had to switch Hubby's fan that he sleeps with, with an old one out of the garage. Man I hope dislikes it enough to go get a new one tomorrow. That thing is nasty and he didn't want to wait for me to clean it up. But it doesn't squeak, so he'll be able to sleep tonight.

Deep battered fireflies are a delicacy served at the rite of passage of young men of the Amazonian tribe called the Zombidympheens. The women who prepare this have handed down to them a secret method of preserving the luminescence of the fly after frying. After the ritual is over, each young man is presented a glowing, luminescent bowl of batter fried fireflies to eat. I myself have witnessed this in college during a summer anthropology trip and was allowed the rare privilege of tasting. Their flavor is like crab but partly aromatic.

Bullshit......they taste more like popcorn.
Wow Chris. That must have been very exciting for you. Did you have to go firefly hunting? The only indigenous cooking I've ever had the pleasure to taste was with something so secret that I had to promise to not use any vowels when spelling the name of the most important ingredient, p___t_. We rode up some bluffs on horseback, and each taking their share, we went separate ways for a while to insure an individual experience.
I didn't expect anything to happen except maybe get food poisoning. I closed my eyes for a minute to decide how soon I should go back to our meeting place. The skies showed clouds rolling in with a possible storm. Should I ride it out or take shelter? It looked to be a pretty good sized system headed my way. I kept thinking that if I could just get ontop of those clouds, somehow, I would survive without being harmed. I talked to my horse, Randall, to see what he thought. Not a peep out of him. Sure, if you ask him to add or subtract, he's all over that. But meteorology just isn't his wheelhouse. I decided to hunker down for a while under a large rock formation. While there, Randall suddenly decided to talk. And boy did he talk! Then the storm hit. It was an unusual rain that smelled like cotton candy instead of the regular purple raspberry rain. Brown was smelling alot like lemon though.
I turned to ask Randall if he liked the cotton candy or the purple raspberry better? Only to find that Michaingo had taken his place. Why would a horse trade places with a purple flying squirrel that liked '80s grunge music? He didn't know about that, but he did know that if a job came open that would get him away from his wife and 78 children for a little while, he wasn't going to complain. Hope Randall is doing alright with Junay and the kids. But a swap is a swap!
Now we just have to figure out what we are going to do to get us back to our rendezvous with the rest of the gang. I think they are going to like Michaingo. Soon we found a tree in which I could climb and Michaingo could take off without dropping me. Off we went! The popcorn, which was Michaingo's fur for all you haters out there, smelled delicious. It wasn't gamey at all. I couldn't help but swipe a couple of pieces. So we meet up with the guys. I turned around to introduce Michaingo to everyone, and he was gone. They didn't have any out of the ordinary experiences either.

Sure, if you ask him to add or subtract, he's all over that. But meteorology just isn't his wheelhouse. I decided to hunker down for a while under a large rock formation. While there, Randall suddenly decided to talk. And boy did he talk! Then the storm hit. It was an unusual rain that smelled like cotton candy instead of the regular purple raspberry rain. Brown was smelling alot like lemon though.
I turned to ask Randall if he liked the cotton candy or the purple raspberry better? Only to find that Michaingo had taken his place. Why would a horse trade places with a purple flying squirrel that liked '80s grunge music? He didn't know about that, but he did know that if a job came open that would get him away from his wife and 78 children for a little while, he wasn't going to complain. Hope Randall is doing alright with Junay and the kids. But a swap is a swap!
Now we just have to figure out what we are going to do to get us back to our rendezvous with the rest of the gang. I think they are going to like Michaingo. Soon we found a tree in which I could climb and Michaingo could take off without dropping me. Off we went! The popcorn, which was Michaingo's fur for all you haters out there, smelled delicious. It wasn't gamey at all. I couldn't help but swipe a couple of pieces. So we meet up with the guys. I turned around to introduce Michaingo to everyone, and he was gone. They didn't have any out of the ordinary experiences either.

Deep battered fireflies are a delicacy served at the rite of passage of young men of the Amazonian tribe called the Zombidympheens. The women who prepare this have handed down to them a secret method of preserving the luminescence of the fly after frying. After the ritual is over, each young man is presented a glowing, luminescent bowl of batter fried fireflies to eat. I myself have witnessed this in college during a summer anthropology trip and was allowed the rare privilege of tasting. Their flavor is like crab but partly aromatic.
Bullshit......they taste more like popcorn.

Wow Chris. That must have been very exciting for you. Did you have to go firefly hunting? The only indigenous cooking I've ever had the pleasure to taste was with something so secret that I had to promise to not use any vowels when spelling the name of the most important ingredient, p___t_. We rode up some bluffs on horseback, and each taking their share, we went separate ways for a while to insure an individual experience.
I didn't expect anything to happen except maybe get food poisoning. I closed my eyes for a minute to decide how soon I should go back to our meeting place.

Shhhh! Not just any p___t_, but reservation p___t_. The kind that makes you hear colors, see thoughts, and smell the future. No, this was no ordinary p___T_. That was an awesome ride! Randall and Michaingo, where ever you may be, you always have an invite here.

I confess to too many. One too many and I go over the edge. Not a very big person so it does hit hard. But.....the culinary arts are mine. I do more culinary than the white house chef. Just so you know, Chris... now anthropology.l. I do lack higher education, never went to college, just the school of life. Poor stupid woman that I am. Big mama is a big disappointment.

You just cross that false last part out of there, Mama.
Speaking of Leinenkugel's shandys -- I got a little taste for them for a period over the winter (the Cranberry-Ginger Shandy). Someone gave some to me, and I have to admit, I was not all that thrilled at first because I don't like wine-coolery type drinks and I figured that's what it was. But it was actually pretty good. I even bought some more for myself. But then, I lost my taste for them entirely (I think). And, well, I guess that's the end of my shandy story.

You are only a disappointment to yourself, Carleen. A poor stupid woman, I'm sure! Apparently you haven't been around stupid people very often. There is absolutely nothing wrong with not having gone to college. College teaches people a way to get through life. You didn't go sit through classes listening to professors drone on about this, that, or the other, which may or may not have anything to do with what you are actually there for (to learn about the actual field you have chosen). You chose to jump right into life head first. You have honed your skill in cooking, home schooling, being a wife and mother. You can't be stupid and raise intelligent, talented, Catholic children. It doesn't work that way. So knock it off young lady! You have much to be proud of.
I heard she has a PhD in Domestic Engineering with a postdoc Fellowship in Domestic Education.
But batter deep fried fireflys dont taste like popcorn according to the International Encyclopedia of Food Tastes (volume 2, p.455). So on that point Carleen is absolutely wrong and Christulsa is absolutely right.

Sister in law is in hospital in a neighboring town. Ken knows very little how it went down because he chose to not be there. Can't blame him. His grief is beyond measure. Please remember to say an Ave for him tonight. It would kill me if he did stupid now, after all this. Please God.

Hopefully he can get some respite for himself. Be able to come home at night to a quiet house, and just chill out in from of the tv with a beer. It sounds like an extremely difficult situation but with prayer and going at this one day at a time, hopefully she will become stable and relatively healthy and reconciled to her husband. To live a holy marriage life. If not to have children, to help family and the poor. She's a dental hygeinst? I've heard of some making six figures.
I follow a blog of a guy right now who is a professional rock climber. Organizes expeditions up Mt. Everest. But he had a serious injury few months ago. Can barely walk. Doctors say it will be at least a year before he might climb again. But he has his eyes on the goal. I'm looking forward to checking his blog next year and seeing him back in the saddle.

No, I don't have to Chris, but I have no steam. My heart is heavy. Was a hard afternoon. I can't believe this part has actually happened. Only had an hour heads up. Doesn't matter how much it had to happen. My brothers pain is so palpable. We are close and always have been. I've watched his wife's crazy since he married her 27 years ago. He spent all those years miserable though always loving her, and now even more so. Her crazy was torture to him but the new crazy is so pitiful and sad, it's easy to forgive all of the past and love her too. Can only trust in God's hands. May He guide and direct this whole situation, and Mary comfort the both of them.

Is this her first time being confined? Isn't it weird how the nicest men seem to end up with the craziest women. I'm sure sorry they have to go through this and hope she gets all the help she needs. It sounds like maybe he needs to find someone to talk to as well. Anyway, :pray3:

Yes Dymphna. He surely does need help too. Hope he gets some counsel. And yes, why is it the nicest men get hooked with the craziest women. I think they marry them because they want to protect and take care of them, but that often does not make for happy marriage. Good point, dymphna.
I hope the worst is over now and that things start improving for your brother and his wife, Carleen. :'(

any updates onyoursister in law carleen?i have been praying for her, although i dont have much confidence in my prayers lately
I've been in the position of having my wife inpatient on the psych floor of a hospital and I don't remember being able to relax or sleep. The absolute worst part is that the visiting schedule is very restricted. When I'm in the hospital my wife is allowed to visit all day if she wants. Many of the hospitals allow 24 hour visitation. Sometimes in intensive care they shoo you out or restrict the amount of people who can come. But generally they welcome family members to be at the bedside. But with psych hospitalization usually you're only allowed 2 hours at most. And it was in this "day room" with all the other patients and their families, so there's zero privacy and it was hard to have a conversation because the room was noisy. So for those other 22 hours I had no idea how things were going. It was necessary but it could not be over fast enough.
just as an aside, i would avoid using labeling people with mental health diagnoses as "crazy." I guess with psychotic disorders it might seem easy to say that word because they are so obviously out of touch with reality, but I know my wife has been labaled that by people before and it was very hurtful. i've seen how hospitalization can change how former patients on psychiatric floors see themselves for years after the fact. she has said before that no matter how far she came in her recovery, that hospitalization is always there on her "permanent record" following her for the rest of her life. That's stigma for you. i dont say this in the name of political correctness but out of respect for people with difficult diagnoses.
it's likely that she'll come home from the hospital on some kind of medication. one of the best things you can to encourage her to stay on the medication is by talking about it in a positive light, the way you'd talk about any other medication. my wife's mom used to refer to the meds as "crazy pills" or "happy pills" so that made it hard for her to stay on meds. Not saying you'd ever do this but being positive and supportive about taking medication can help a lot.
I think one of the hardest things with mental illness is that because it's mental, you can't easily separate it from your identity and your moral character. in the church mental health and moral virtue are often seen as interconnected so sometimes it seems like there is no support for people with mental illness in the church...often you hear people in traditionalist circles talking about mental illness and how most mentally ill people are really demon posessed or they just need to pray more rosaries
so when people use language like "Crazy people" it's counterproductive, because the person with a diagnosis often struggles to not define themselves based on their diagnosis and being talked about that way can make it harder. it's very different from a physical diagnosis like say, cancer. When someone gets cancer we don't call them "cancerous"
i think one of the best things you can do as the spouse/relative of someone going through mental health treatment is to just accept them, for who they are and also for where they are in the recovey process
Ches, that is very good advice. I am wrong to say crazy and won't say it again, sorry. I was never close to her. She was too cruel to my brother and said awful things about our family. I can forgive anything knowing she was never well. My brother feels she will never want to see him again. I'm not so sure. At this point she is not in a home yet. My brother said with this action, he put his future with her, on the chopping block. She may never want him back and that breaks his heart, but he would do it again if it would save her. I hope she does. He is the only one who truly loved her, deeply. I could love her too if she gave me a chance.

Ok. So Chris, where's my steak? Oh forget it, still can't chew well. Give it to Keph. He's a man. Men love steak, right? Now, ice cream.....I LOVE IT!!! I love soft serve. So many flavors now. I remember when it was chocolate and vanilla soft serve. That's it. Now you can get any flavor you can think of. I love lemon, p butter, coffee, butter pecan, and so many more. I would choose ice cream over a meal. Just like a kid. Some people never grow up. That would be me.
I have some limoncello. We bought some to try. Please help yourself :)
The baby is still teething and cranky, so Carleen, I can't shut her up. Get some ear plugs! Like I tell my kids when they complain too much...offer it up, or do something about it, but stop belly aching ;)

First day using 7 day free pass at a "health spa" gym just down the street in the same building where I get PT, joined to a Catholic hospital. With discount being a patient its $50/month which is steep but I'm thinking well worth it for my recovery. 2 indoor pools, one heated, hot tub, wet sauna, dry sauna, raquetball courts, walking track, lots of weights and machines, many classes all day long, very nice deli.
I walked, did some weights, swam, and sat in the whirpool.

Now, ice cream.....I LOVE IT!!! I love soft serve. So many flavors now. I remember when it was chocolate and vanilla soft serve. That's it. Now you can get any flavor you can think of. I love lemon, p butter, coffee, butter pecan, and so many more. I would choose ice cream over a meal. Just like a kid. Some people never grow up. That would be me.
Who wouldve thought there are advantages to having Trigeminal Neuralgia, one of the worst pain conditions known to medical science. :)
Chris, I have type 2 which is bad enough, but not the electric shocks in face. More like infected teeth, but not so electrical. Oh, those people have it much worse than i.

Also great about the baby. 😁 Congrats! :pray1:

OK Chris! Come get it! Baby is doing awesome. All full of downy hair because a month early. They lose the down during last month, but since early, she is all furry. The hair on head is full and brown. She looked like a tiny red alien child. Adorable.Of Course!
We now have a middle name for new baby! Lydia ROSE Palmer .
Aww... I love her name. Congratulations to the whole family! (Hope your daughter is recovering well after the c-section, too.)
It's pretty early for bedtime, but I guess not for the baby then. ;D
Congratulations! :cheeseheadbeer:

Havent seen much of Jayne or Greg lately either. Maybe Jayne is busy settling her parents' estate. :pray1: Maybe Greg is closing a deal in Russia or vacationing in Aruba.
Carleen's daughter had a red, hairy alien baby?? :eek:
Very cute. :seeya: Very hot in Oklahoma. Thinking I'm able to return to work. Love the health club I joined, especially the heated pool and whirlpool. I keep seeing a priest there, might try and talk to him about Tradition next time I see him. Still waiting for Dymphna's drone footage. >:( Face slowly improving. Looking to make or find a third class relic of St. Padre Pio... Going skydiving tomorrow morning at sunrise which should be fun. ;D :rofl: :lol: :bs:
Please, God....my friend just wants some sleep. Please make this happen for Dymphna. Amen.
Gnite Chris...we can talk ice cream tomorrow. Sleep well. WAIT A MINUTE RABBIT!!!!!! Chris, skydiving? Tell me you're kidding. Just trying to see if we are paying attention?
Ches, you home or still at the facility? Been thinking about you and your reduced participation on the forum. You finding it harder to post? And are you sleeping ok? Tolerating your feedings? My new granddaughter is so cute with her full head of hair and a round full face. I can't wait to meet her. When Katie is ready to handle visitors. Her hubby has 3 months paid leave! I've never heard of such a thing for men, but it is wonderful. He can go back whenever he is ready, though. He works for comcast. They have great benefits.

Dang! I was about to be jealous. That is definitely on my bucket list. Hubby keeps saying he's going to make that my birthday present, but it seems like every year something comes up that stops it. We've even talked to the guy about it and he said any time.
I'm not avoiding sending you the drone footage, Dude. I just haven't found a way to send it to you. It's not a You Tube video or Vimeo. So I don't know which format will work. I've tried just about everything I know. So I'm now trying to see about making it a You Tube video. I've also got to edit it a little before that happens, so I'm trying to figure that out as well. I haven't forgotten about it, it's just a work in progress. Comprende? :) 8)

No worries. I've spent four months doing everything on my phone, including my TL;DR verbal diarrhea posts. :) Even with a functioning computer, itd probably take hours for me to figure out how to upload a YouTube video.
Btw skydiving this morning was great, but then I woke up from my dream. :)

What if one day we can all have our own avatar robots like in that movie with Bruce Willis. His body is in a computerized chair in his apartment, but his mind is connected to an avatar robot, synthetic replica of himself that goes off into the world. It feels like he is in the robot, and it feels like it is literally himself. We could all be back in our homes in Oklahoma, Kansas, Michigan, NYC, (I dont know where Munda, Per Evsngelica, and Bernie live), and send our our avatars to meet Ches and his avatar in NYC. Download a program for advanced rock climbing. Go climb Mt. Everest. Ches could be our expedition leader!

No wonder you are so endearing, Chris. You sound so much like my sons! They are make believe artists. And so are you. I would love to go rock climbing, but I could not do that as a bus. I would have ton change my avatar! And Ches...of course he would lead us. He is a teacher, so we could learn botany along our way. How wonderful that would be. Dymph, she would have no migraines and I would not have balance issues and absolutely NO palsy in my left hand. We could kick Ches's feeding tube and wheelchair down the mountain into a ravine! I am so excited, when do we begin? Chris?

Carleen, as soon as the Japanese invent avatar surrogates and they're affordable. 2040? The way technology keeps exponentially growing, maybe sooner. Ches can you hold out til then? Maybe you can upload your consciousness to the avatar. :) And just think Carleen you'll be able to eat all the soft serve ice cream you want without it affecting your health! Dymph wont have to worry about dying in a crash flying her husbands ultralight if she's using her avatar. :thumbsup:
Just finished swimming at the "health club." Going to pick up a grocery store rottiserie chicken and head home. Guten nacht.
Good night Chris. Sleep tight.
Ok, ok. Going right now, but....whats;the hurry? Ill still be asleep before 12! Anyway.
I don't think I'd trust anyone to replicate me. Everyone should be afraid of that happening. Now, if they replicated my avatar, I'm definitely on board.
Hope you all have a good night and sweet dreams. :cheeseheadbeer: 8)

Yes, it's time. Time to brush teeth after your last beer or mixed drink. Pick out some jammies. Say prayers. Please remember my dear brother. Still trying to get info on wife. Going to see a judge to get two court orders. One that they give her a med for thyroid, second that he be allowed to see her.
Chris, if you have a special tray with special healthy snack, get it in here. These poor people have to brush their teeth. Sitting here eating my refrigerator dill pickles. Love them. As good or better than Clausen pickles. Nice and spicey, a bit crunchy and even pretty to look at through the jar. Did get all my peppers chopped, steamed and frozen, waiting to be used in salsa made in quarts. Hope to get a hundred quarts done this summer. My kitchen will be pulled together by Monday. Party on Wednesday. The new kitchen is so very much appreciated.

Oh, Bird, how nice for you! I've been busy too, but right here, refinishing cabinets, tables and other items. It's been a good busy. Got a kitchen counter top coming today. It was made by some guy we don't know, so of course we're hoping it's a good fit. Refinished a cute pine bread box with cast iron hinges. Looks super nice now. I miss you Bird. God bless you and auntie.

Go for it Chris! You set it up, they will participate, but the salsa is not even made yet! I'll take a vodka shot, but I'll have to mix it with cherry juice and tonic water. Can't drink it straight. How about you. I have some refrigerator pickles, quite spice and flavorful.

Party on Wednesday. The new kitchen is so very much appreciated.
Bringing out chilled vodka shots and pickled cherry peppers.
100 quarts? Holy Moley. We should have a contest. Winner gets a quart!? :) I'll pay for the postageThis is a petition to Carleen to have a contest for a jar of her salsa. If you would like to sign the petition and join the contest, click "Thank You." :)

Yes. And Yes. I have what you need Dymph. Don't go crazy on me. I have exactly what you want, my dear. Chris said in a thread he may be taking a break. So I will step up and fill the needs. Now how do I make a fuzzy navel?

Poor guy. He must be getting overwhelmed. He's got an awful lot on his plate, that's for sure. So, a fuzzy navel consists of:
Making a Basic Fuzzy Navel
Fill a highball glass with ice. This easy cocktail recipe requires just a few steps! ...
Pour in 2 fl. oz. of peach schnapps. ...
Fill the rest of the way with orange juice. ...
Alternatively, shake the ingredients with ice and pour.
I like a splash of pineapple with mine as well. It really brings out the peach flavor, imo. Perhaps you've had it under another name?
If I did, I have no memory of it. Dymph, read what Munda and I posted in your thread about boy gifts :)
Oh, shoot me, I have only regular vodka. No schnapps, no juice, no pineapple juice. Someone broke in last night and swiped the alcoholic drink mixers. I am so sorry. Some one, not sure who, but someone did not lock up last night. I could blame me, since that sounds like something I would do, but here's the thing.....it wasn't me. Do we need to investigate?

Are you all trying to make me cry? I'm not doing anything special with them, but Hubby sure is. It's kind of funny though, because he will bring me flowers that he says are in his yard, but I suspect the neighbors yard is being pilfered. It's so sweet though. I'm pressing a couple of them and have hung the others to dry. I'm going to make a shadowbox with them in it, a picture of him, and a few other things. He just beams when I show him what I'm doing with the flowers. It's so cute! I can't be my stern disciplinary self when he does that. :laugh: Anyway, you all are too kind. Thank you.

Well, besides TMJ, I have Atypical Facial Pain. Kind of like Trigeminal Neuralgia on both sides of my face. Pain meds dont help it. Doc thinks it will go away, but Im unsure if it will ever go away. I also have symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis--single leg weakness, parasthesias in arms and legs (numbness plus neuropathic pain) plus growing fatigue--3 symptoms common in MS. Praying I don't have. The worst is my face feeling constant strangeness which makes you feel disassociation. Almost impossible to ignore. Think Leonardo de Caprio in The Man with the Iron Mask. But TMJ and facial nerve pain is getting better so there's hope there. Plus docs thought before my MS symptoms were like stress responses due to pain and insomnia while trying to finish school plus all the ER visits. Oh plus my ears are plugged and I got tinnitus now from the TMJ so that's fun. So I'm kind of mamed. To me it's very bizzare, but is what it is. Good news I can now sit a long time in one place relaxed and am returing to work next week. I make it to the gym and PT, etc. Plus have a very supportive wife. I am determined to finish physical therapy school next January and for us to have kids (naturally and through adoption). Plus pray novena every night for recovery, especially to St. Padre Pio. So there it is hanging all out. Will drop in now and then while I recover. And bring snacks. So please still pray for me, as I do for you.
Dear Chris, wow, just wow, I will pray for you and you will stay in contact. Right? Deal? Yes I've heard of atypical face pain. So sorry, and ms? Please stop! Gonna start calling you Job. Holy cow!!! How much can a guy carry? I'm gonna cry. You have been a bright spot here and without you, it will seem a bit dimmer. Truth. Won't say goodbye because you'll be back....Now and then.
Open. Definitely, open. We have a fresh load of food and drinks. For those that do not drink alcohol, we have bottles of Perrier water and lemon wedges to liven up your drink. We have lime for the Corunna drinkers. And decaf for the coffee drinkers.
Decaf....meh
I have some tasty, pesto turkey melt sandwiches. But hurry....kids are cleaning up the kitchen now

Oh, that sounds wonderful, Munda! Don't suppose you could save one for tomorrow, could you? About the decaf. Certainly not anyone's favorite choice, for sure, but we all need sleep, right? But hey, if coffee does not keep you up, go for the real stuff! It's getting so I am a bit paranoid about not being able to sleep. It is miserable to be exhausted, yet not being able to sleep. Yes, decaf....meh.
Got a fresh cup of cranberry juice, ice cold, and a fresh glass of Dr Pepper. Just what you want after coconut cake and ice cream. All this after meatloaf, mashed pots and gravy, and corn. I am spoiled. And best of all, I got my migraine med today! I feel like some kind of junkie saying that, but relief for a few hours at a time from weeks of pain, is something to get excited about in my book. Another day to thank God for you all! :cheeseheadbeer: 8)

Oh yes, I can relate to the being exhausted yet unable to sleep, then stressing all day about being tired and hoping against all hope that when the time comes for bed, you can just sleep already! Lay down, exhausted, and sleep just doesn't happen. By the time it does happen, the baby needs to nurse agin. It's a vicious cycle. You learn to adapt, but good grief....a solid night's sleep sounds so amazing! One day....
And yeah, caffeine does keep me up if I drink it past about 3-ish; 4 at the latest. But, still....decaf....meh. Have a Bloody Mary. Husband is making them; kids are in bed; the patio lights are set to dim. Come, relax, put your feet up, enjoy. The fire flies are beautiful this time of year.
ETA: I will absolutely save you a turkey melt for tomorrow. You like them cold or hot?
Hot turkey melt. Cold bloody Mary, feet up, can't resist. I'm there.
No can do. I must go to bed now. I must try. It seems I'm ready. Gotta catch it while I can.
Time. Open. Come. Tell me something useful. Or something sorta interesting. I have nothing interesting to say. My day was decent and my evening wonderful. Mass was beautiful and Our Lady was hopefully pleased with the honor shown her today.
No visitors. Ok. I'm OK with that. Guess I'll just Go To Bed. G-nite all. Going going gone.

Sorry I didn't have anything useful to say. Maybe tonight will be better.
It's time to put on those comfy jammies. Pour yourself a nice drink. Sip. Sip again. Say rosary...sip again. Yup...then go to bed, so you can get up and do it all over again, but better.
G-nite. You guys, you can make sense lights are off and doorSo locked. Dishes done. Floor mopped. Garbage taken out.
Thanks. See you tomorrow, God willing.

Oh, you sweet man, you know we all do care about what you are going through. I pray for you daily and nightly. This is not the type of thing (things) your average guy is faced with. Plus you have high hopes for completing you PT training. Gotta hand it to ya, Chris. You never folded, through out your crisis. You did therapy, and exercised and went on to console others suffering with one thing or another. You kept your sense of humor, which admittedly goes over my head occassionally, but you are still the amiable guy I first met on this forum. You're a good man who has been put through the proverbial wringer! God bless your efforts to struggle through.
But about MS. Is that for sure? Oh how I hope not. But, many people go into long remissions, and you will too. Dear God....Chris. please. :pray3:
Its a wait and see if its MS. Neurologist is having me track symptoms before more tests. But the atypical facial pain is more debilitating. Prayers it goes away.

Oh yes Chris. Prayers galore!
Step in outa the rain. How about a nice cold drink. Yes it may be raining, but it is so hot and muggy. A cold drink and a fan to cool you may be just what the doctor ordered!
G-nite, Ches, Martin, Quare, Mikemac, Gardener, Kaese, Bird, Laus, Orate, Dymph, Keph, Non, Matta, Mato, Jayne, Lynne, Mary...love your new outfit!......Munda, Lydia, Angel, Obrien, Heinrich....someday you're gonna say hi!......Lux, St. Drogo and Miki, Chris, Miriam, Jaca, OC, Akavit, Miles, Greg, Louis, Bon, Daniel, Pace, jubilate, Spera, Christina, aJesus, Mary and Joseph, My guardian angel, and all the saints. See you in good morning, God willing! I know I have forgotten many more, but.....I forgot. :) Oh, Pon!
Getting late. Nights are longer. Soon the leaves will drop. But not for a while yet. Tonight I wish you all a sleepful sleep, dreams of heaven, or dreams of victories over the evil one, and dreams of nature, or dreams of the Saints and your loved ones who have moved on. May wakeful moment be prayerful moments. May tomorrow be full of big and small graces that keep us in touch with our Creator and our hearts joined with His. God bless you all.
Please come in from the storm. Just come in, put your feet up. Relax and absorb some of the peace in this thread. We can talk about an thing and argue about nothing. That's what sets this thread apart. For the most part we encourage each other and help when someone is down or struggling. I know many times I've been encouraged and my spirits lifted. So come. No crabs allowed. :) Unless, they are animated and actually cute!
Going to bed. Yup. Going early. Hopefully I can get up early. So tired. Dymph, your head any better? Oh, dear Lord, let it be gone. Dykphna, she has things to do...places to go...people to see, so please let it go away. Ches, hope you are having a good weekend at home. Chris, be atnpeace and sleep like a baby. Lydia, enjoy your evening, but don't stay up too late. Per, a good night to you. Non...sleep tight. Munda...please God, let Munda sleep. Mary, hopefully we will have some excellent coffee tomorrow. Try to NOT SPILL on your new outfit. Good night my Bird. Sleep well on your awesome futon. Good nite to ALL.
No, my dear friend, my pain is not gone. I thought for sure today was going to be the day it would be gone. It was down to about 20% this morning. I had even planned a holy hour this evening while Hubby took the new plane up and down the runway. But when it was time to go Hubby took a look at me and said no way. He knew it was getting worse already. There would be no church visits for me today. So I made a holy hour at home instead. I should have taken all day for that. Instead I come to SD and hurt my friends. So now my heart hurts as much as my head and I don't know how to fix it. More time at the altar I think, for now. Thanks for the chat. That cheeshead with the blinking eyes is starting to creep me out. Is he blinking the SOS signal? The dude needs some shades. Seriously. 8)
Good night to my dearest SD family.
I've dispatched my most beloved patron saint, Raphael, to provide special assistance and comfort to those in need.
With love and hugs and prayers... PED
Late night ravings from the happy, holy?, eccentric home of PED:
Recently I've had cravings for the raw goat milk that my sweetie picks up at the farm on his way home from golf.... so here's a mental pic for ya:
I pad down the stairs barefoot in my leopard print sweat pants and tank top (it's been perty humid 'round these parts) in the middle of the night, stepping over the 2 crazy Chilean street dogs we rescued when we lived in Santiago, one of which has a cat (also from Chile <sigh, long story>) curled up on his back, make my way to the refrigerator by the light of the salt lamp, unscrew the mason jar and chug it straight, no glass. Gotta love the subsequent 'stache.
How's that for a demure traditional Catholic woman lol!
(and, gasp!, I sometimes wear pants at night!)

You and your health are in my prayers Dymphna.
Yep....open. Please, help yourself!
What can I help myself to? I'm spent! The kiddos, and life in general, have been incredibly draining lately. Good thing I love them, and that they are wonderful just the same. But, good grief, I am running on empty. Actually, I do have some pork Parmesan (like chicken, but with pork tenderloin medallions) to offer. It's leftovers, but still....it's the feast of St. Bernard. Enjoy!

Munda, seems you just keep giving! Relax now, my friend. You've done enough O good and faithful servant. Let me serve you. Let's see. We had a 4 meat chili today. It had pork chops cubed, chicken cubed, brats sliced and ground lamb. Topped with chips and cheese. But you food sounds more special. If you are not hungrey, I will serve you some chilled expensive champagne, or maybe some laced coffee, or maybe some blue moon beer. Do you like blue moon?

Per, you sound so young, really. I can just see my girls doing the same thing! Well, let's make that me. I'm the one that liked our raw goats milk. Do you have goats? I used to, but they were the worst escape artists. They would find a weak spot on my fencing and work it until there was a hole. I got tired of finding them in garage, on back porch, eating the little trees we planted and getting into their food. I didn't mind the milk though. We raised some for the meat, which is pretty good. I find sheep more rewarding, though I do not milk them. 6 lambsare enough meat for the winter. We butcher at one year though many butcher well before that. We just want a bit more meat for what it costs to have them butchered and properly packaged.
Guess what? I enjoyed today's potluck, but that's not my news. I got to sit and talk with Sanambrosi, and wife, plus see their BEAUTIFUL new baby girl! He lives in Jackson now, but usually goes a bit further to be able to attend the SPX chapel near Dearborn Mi. But he came to our Mass today. He is such an amiable, sweet man with a sweet family.His baby girl may be one of the most beautiful babies I've ever seen. I say may be because I've heard my little baby girl is a real stunner. I've only seen pictures and she is cute, but another daughter said she is the prettiest baby she's ever seen, so I'll hold off until I see Lydia in real life!

QuoteThe kiddos, and life in general, have been incredibly draining lately.
Any respite on the horizon?
Or can you carve out any (don't laugh! :) ) ; i.e., a warm soak in some epsom salts and lavender at night with a good book kinda thing?
I don't have goats, CD, and your stories of escape are what I commonly hear! Luckily there's a local gentleman who raises them. I used to love raw cows milk until I got hooked on goat milk. And, bonus! It has been hands down integral to my recovery the past 6 months from an uber fatiguing stress related issue.

CD, I hadn't considered the return on investment re: lamb - butchering and preparation cost.
I love how just about everyone in Ireland, large property or small, has sheep, and the lambs roam their land in spring. Rambling thought somewhat related to your comment, but do people milk sheep? Naïveté on my part, I'd just never heard of it.

QuoteThe kiddos, and life in general, have been incredibly draining lately.
Any respite on the horizon?
Or can you carve out any (don't laugh! :) ) ; i.e., a warm soak in some epsom salts and lavender at night with a good book kinda thing?
I think the latter part of this week will be calmer. I try to take a night off each week, but I haven't been able to do that lately. I think I will this week, though, which will definitely help! Thanks :)

I don't have goats, CD, and your stories of escape are what I commonly hear! Luckily there's a local gentleman who raises them. I used to love raw cows milk until I got hooked on goat milk. And, bonus! It has been hands down integral to my recovery the past 6 months from an uber fatiguing stress related issue.

People do milk sheep, some types of sheep are easier than others. Some have little to grab onto and some have more.
So, someone asked what Shandy is. I think it may have been Chris. Anyway, I asked my son and he said any beer mixed with a fruit. My favorite is grapefruit shandy. Yes, it is sweeter than regular beer, but not much. Some shandies are sweeter than others. My favorite is not what you would call sweet. I do not like sweet beer. I don't mind a sweet cider, like angry orchard, but that's not beer.
Per E., it is so nice to have you join us in this thread. Love your posts. Please continue popping in from time to time. You are a real bright spot on this forum.
So, Bird, did you mean ENGAGED engaged? Can you tell us a wee bit more?
We are in the midst of the strangest sounding thunderstorm I think I've ever heard. It's rolling thunder, but it sounds as though it's rolling from north to south, right over our house. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, gone. Very weird.
Pain left about 12:30 this afternoon. I'm afraid to move, just in case. Going to try to close my eyes and listen to the storm outside of my head for a change. :) Thank you all for your prayers. God bless 8)

You made my night, Dymphna, thanks for reporting in. :)
Winding down now. Turning off lights. Guess this is it my folks. God bless each and everyone of you and a good night's sleep to all. Worked putting up peppers and stripping another cabinet, which holds my pots and pans. Old as the hills, made of knotty pine. Tired as all get out, so G-nite. See you tomorrow.
Up late. All that coffee and pie in the Good Afternoon thread!!
Whew, Dymphna is resting at ease tonight. Good news.
:pray1: Our Lady of Knock, intercede for us, Holy angels, protect and comfort us, especially those who are suffering.
It's getting to be that time already. Don't know about you but I will be ready by 9, but stay up til ten or 11. If too early, I'll wake up at 3 then it will take a long while to get to sleep again, if at all. So, I am already warming up my bed for an all nighter. ;)
Hi Ches! Good to see you! :seeya:
Wow! I go to bed happy. Bird, I'm happy. So pleased for you.

:grouphug:
Yes, we need a date so we can start making travel plans. Booking hotel rooms and all of that. It's cheaper for us the sooner we can book the room. I think I'll just meet Carleen and most likely Ches, in the Struggle Bus in Indiana. Wait, I don't even know where the there is. I need to know where the there is, so I'll know where to meet them. Another question Bernadette! :cheeseheadbeer:
Yes, the struggle bus will take many.
Yes, do go to bed. Just do it. It is 10 09 and you will love yourself in the morning. Well, if you don't want to.... ok, we can talk, but being tired I may not make much sense.
Ok. I'm still here. If you have anything to say, now is the time. And yes, I did proposition Pon, but it was all in good fun. Did I really ask him to marry me? See how much fun I was having? Of course Pon did not respond. I think he did not know what to say. I mean, really? Did I really say that? Oh, my.
Hello? Everybody in bed? Yoo Hoo! Hmmm, guess I'll just turn out the lights and lock up.
Hi, Dymph!!!! Everyone gone now! I have my home back! It's quiet and I'll be going to bed soon. Goodnight everyone! I'm bushed.
Good night!
Let's talk about sleep. Yes, it's time. I have a bedtime tonight. 11. No later. Probably take some benedryl, because last nite was a tough one. Cheers to tonight being a peaceful sleep for all bedheads!
Ugh. Sleep. There never seems to be enough, and it always seems to be just out of reach. Maybe we should talk about something else :P

Benadryl? Really? I may have to try that again. The only time I ever had it work was in the hospital after my heart attack. The night I got my own room out of ICU, they mixed up my night meds with my Mom's. I brought it to their attention, so taking them was out of the question, even though I know it would have worked very well. Me and my big mouth. So instead they gave me a Benedryl. I laughed but I started dozing off every once in awhile and a nurse would come in and stick me to check my blood sugar and give me insulin as needed. It would have been nice if they would have woke me up before doing that, but hey, Benadryl! :lol: Hope it works!
slept most of the evening including when my family came to visit so i missed out on that. my wife texted me saying they came and were going to let me sleep. now i'm awake and no one's here except the nurses are laughing about something across the hall
cant believe that my son's summer vacation is almost over. in a little less than 2 weeks he'll be back to school. they are saying that the weather is perfect--72 degrees today hoping it stays that way and I can go home and enjoy some of this nice weather before it's gone.
hope Christulsa pops in, someone has to bring in the virtual snacks.

I'm just a Type 2. I've got the triple threat. Sucks to be me! What do they do at Diabetes Camp? Is it to build friendships with other diabetics? Or just to relax and learn about the disease and they are taught ways to cope, and thing like that.? Sorry about all the questions, I just think that a diabetes camp would be really cool. Did he act differently when he came home? OK, I'm done now, I promise. 8)

a childrens hospital puts it on every year. just a day camp. all the staff are either nurses, diabetes educators, or teens/young adults with type 1. They do some activities related to diabetes management and nutrition but there's also a lot of regular camp stuff too, like dodgeball, a slip & slide, capture the flag, trips to the local pool and all that.
I think the best part about it was being able to send him to a camp without freaking out about whether he'll be OK vs every other time we leave him with someone (apart from school). He is getting to be the age where kids in his class are going to friends houses without a parent places, and he keeps wanting to walk upstairs to go play with the other children in our building...and while it's very age appropriate to do this we aren't able to let him have that kind of freedom. so he did make a lot of friends there hopefully we will be able to get together with some of them after camp is over. when the school year starts things get busy for everyone though..
Ches, I am happy son got to do this! What a neat opportunity, with the bonus is that you don't need to worry. Win. Win.
OK thread open! I lost track of time. Make sure no one forgets to go to bed tonight.
Open. Right now we are open. Come.
What does everyone think of a padded toilet seat or some lace curtains. This place is quite bare.
I'm not a fan of padded toilet seats.
Lace is pretty and I certainly appreciate when people use it in their decor....but, personally, I'm too simple country, and rustic (aka rough around the edges) for it to work for me. I actually wouldn't mind a touch of lace for my home altar, though. Just a little.
Toddler sounds like he is coming down with a little something. He sounds stuffy and told me after he got back from church that there was a bug in his nose. It was just snot, but to him it literally felt like a bug. Funny how children perceive things

Munda i don't even own any lace! Just asking. :pray3: no colds, please dear Lord. Padded toilet seats easily get tears and moisture sucked in.
what about those plastic couch covers
No, no, no, no, no. Just no. No plastic couch covers. It's bad enough sitting on a leather couch in the summertime, but those plastic covers stick to you even in the winter. And definitely no padded toilet seats. I don't like hearing the whoosh sound when I sit down.
As for lace, I put lace panels behind my curtains. That gives you the touch of it without over feminizing things. imo :) But I do like my lace tablecloths. Another way to add a touch of lace to a room, in particular for a girl's bedroom or a parlor, is to take the piece of cardboard that comes in a picture frame, paint it, and put a piece of lace over it. Then take a picture that is smaller than the frame and place it in the center. That gives you the look of a lace matt around your picture. You can get really cheap frames at Walmart and this just kind of dresses them up.
Time. Yup. It's time.
Gonna see the sandman by 10-10:30. Tired. But everyone can carry on. Last one out locks up. Please and thank you.
Here's some pre-tucked in help, CD :P
Take a little bath or even warm shower by candlelight. Keep the lights down low, fluff up your pillows and blankies, put on your fav soft jammies, hold your dear husbands hand and listen to some soft music after your eve prayers.
Sending my angel to accompany you tonight. Good and holy night to you and all the SD family!

Yeah, that would be my fault. Hubby showed up from work, after calling and telling me I had to be on the sidewalk in 7 minutes, in a 2014 CAMARO!!! He hops out and says, "Get in, you're driving!" I drove it back to the parking lot. And what a drive it was. Someday....

Fellow bedheads, unite. The bed head thread is open.
Non. Non! You know that vodka you had tucked away for a special occasion? Well, it's mating season. Get it out and we will toast to the happy couple. Logan and the neighbors dog. I know. I feel so proud.

my wife put our newly minted ONE YEAR old to bed for the 2nd time, cant believe today is the baby's birthday. We survived the first year! I'm glad to have made it this far with him... The Mrs is trying to put together a small first birthday celebration at home. I suggested a birthday open house so I think we are going to do that. I feel selfish saying this but a party just seems really intimidating for me and I think for a 1 year old it's a lot of people. From my experience being a dad, the first birthday party is more for the parents than the kid. The baby doesn't undrstand what's going on, why people are giving him presents. By the time they're three or 4 they know what birthdays are all about... they have their own ideas about how they want to celebrate their birthday. with the first birthday we are celebrating the fact that all of us made it through this leg of the journey together....in one piece.
he is still waking up multiple times at night. wondering how long this can go on.

You got it. Mine like butter too. They come running when they hear the dang knife come out of the drawer, even before I pull the butter out of the frig. I like the idea of melting it for their food, thanks for that idea. I also put some bacon drippings in their food too a few times a week, or other rendered fat. And eggs of course. Good for them.
We'll distract Logan with lots of love and attention and he'll forget about the bxxxxh next door. :o
One caveat: our mutts were rescued in Chile so he many come home barking in Spanish. Sure, sounds cool, you say, but have you heard Chilean? Ugh, an awful dialect. Especially when howled.
Dymphna, I could never get away with nail color like that, but I have to say your hands are lovely and feminine!
Ches, a year!!
I remember the wait here. Seems like just a few months ago. How we all rejoiced in your joy.
Thank you for sharing so many amusing and interesting stories about your sweet family. I join the chorus that you should compile them into a book.
Continued prayers for you all, friend. :pray1:

What do you mean, racey? These pictures don't even show the glittery sparkle in the red. Would it be better if I only had 1 or 2 nails as flames and the others black or orange (Harley colors)?

my wife put our newly minted ONE YEAR old to bed for the 2nd time, cant believe today is the baby's birthday. We survived the first year! I'm glad to have made it this far with him... The Mrs is trying to put together a small first birthday celebration at home. I suggested a birthday open house so I think we are going to do that. I feel selfish saying this but a party just seems really intimidating for me and I think for a 1 year old it's a lot of people. From my experience being a dad, the first birthday party is more for the parents than the kid. The baby doesn't undrstand what's going on, why people are giving him presents. By the time they're three or 4 they know what birthdays are all about... they have their own ideas about how they want to celebrate their birthday. with the first birthday we are celebrating the fact that all of us made it through this leg of the journey together....in one piece.

Flames seem to be a particular design beloved by bikers. It is a common theme that you will find painted on many motorcycles and see in many tattoos, jewelry, and clothes. I painted my nails with flames when we went to the Guns N Roses concert last year and forgot about it until I was looking for something special to do for this rally. I found a video that showed a way to do them in a little more subtle fashion this time.
You got me, my dear Carleen. I've been going back and forth as to whether having all my nails this way was too much and maybe it would look better having just one or two that way and the rest a solid color, or just leave them be. I could go either way. :shrug: Thank you for the compliment though. :)

You may have something about just do a few. My mom always said, "Carleen, less is best." It's about the only thing I took to heart. Joking. My mother was the most loving, kind, sacrificial, person I've EVER known and will ever meet, other than Father Hardon.
Oh, I am so moved by the tragedy in Texas. My heart hurts for these poor people, even the well to do are losing so very much. :pray1: :pray2: :pray3:

Thanks for the input! I'll talk to Hubby and see what he thinks, and make a decision tonight. ;)
I know what you mean about the folks in Texas. I can't imagine what they must be going through. We'll be hearing horror stories for many, many years, I'm afraid. We need to be sure to pray for the First Responders out in the field. They will be finding unimaginable things that they will have to deal with. I still can't believe we've lost 2 people in our Dickinson parish. Anyway, I'll be curious to see if the things that were done for those affected by Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana, will be done for those in Texas. Granted, the people of Texas are some the most self sufficient in the US, they will still need help. It will be many years before things will be put back together.

Go to bed is now open. So...my dog sneaked out. Yes he did. He came back filthy, but quite satisfied with himself. Calm and sweet. If I were to speculate...I'd say he found a lover. Not the neighbor dog. But an entirely new love. He is calm and passive. In a few months I may see little logans all over. There could have been more than one sweetheart. Why did I leave this dog unfixed? I haven't made a buck on his majestic self. God knows. I pay the high cost for a purebred, for one time, the only time, and can't even capitalize on it because I am a disorganized twit I am.
:seeya: Hi Ches! Happy to see you!
Come. It is late enough to not be unseemly to visit go to bed. Really, it's way late. LAUS? DYMPH?
Pon??? How are you, you stinking never gonna marry single man? Stop in for a visit. We don't bite here. Most of us are married!

Sometimes, even in a house FULL of people and boisterous noise, I feel lonely, too. It's ok =) Maybe it's a nudge from Our Lord, asking for company, because He is lonely for us in those moments.

I'll be up all night yo
Well, we're off to the rally! Hubby is bringing the dune buggy, so that should be interesting. Have a great weekend y'all!!
have fun, dymphna! we are going to First Saturday devotion tomorrow, and then to visit my Mom and siblings for the rest of the weekend. Everyone is really looking forward to it. We haven't been down to visit in awhile, and we are all lonesome.
Yahoo! A rally, how did your nails turn out? Choir is here and my home resounds with holiness, that is.....until they eat drink and be merry afterward.
So..bedtime......G-nite.
Being that it's no longer afternoon, I vote we open go to bed up. Gotta 30 pack of rolling rock.Any takers? Kaese? That thing was so heavy. Now I know why only the guys buy 30 packs!
Ok. Tired. Turning in. Lonely here. Going home.
G-night Dymph. Bird. Lynne and Non. See you tomorrow. Laus, help yourself to a Rolling Rock. :seeya: :grouphug: :toth:
Goodnight Carleen and Dymphna and all, but I hope you are already asleep and read this on Sunday!
It's 91 degrees outside now! It is rather humid and may rain tomorrow, which is unusual here. But no Harvey for us - thank you, Lord!
So...it's that time. No. Don't go to bed. Just help yourself to the beverage of your choice.
Cocoa, please. :P
Quote from: Bernadette on September 03, 2017, 05:35:32 PM

Mary, can I get you a nice strawberry margarita? Or maybe another drink of your choice? Meh.
Open. Yep. No kidding. I have, right here, some vodka, montmorency tart cherry juice and bubble water, just in case anyone is interested.

No but it was exactly as should be. For my little way.
Sliding in a bit early. Yup. Already a bit tired. But why? It's not like I am chasing kids all day. Really. Why this longing for sleep. Every. Night. Can't wait to fall asleep. Wow. What a worm. Is this what I have to look forward to? I plan my life around my sleep? No thanks. So why is it happening?
Ok. So I've had my libations. No dinner. Going to say my rosary. Then a snack and a wee bit of SD. Thennnn, me thinks....I'm not sure what me thinks. What does me thinks? Help.
You thinks...no, you think sleep sounds like a good idea. I do too. So, so ready. Hubby's not even home from work yet. He's going to be exhausted. But here I am, in the 'go to bed' thread, waiting just a little bit longer to hit the pillow. It must just be one of those days. :-\
It's been nasty and rainy all day here. I'm waiting for the cat to come out of hiding so I can put her inside, then go and listen to an audiobook with some tea.

It is already fall is here. No more hot days, not that I miss them. All they do is give me elephant ankles, swollen...big, but not a problem in cool weather.
Dymph, you and I make a pact to actually sleep. Not just wish for it!
Finished night prayers. Now it's time to relax my weary aching head and chill out so when sleep does come, I am ready for it!

Hey Laus, how do you make your presence "hidden"?
Munda, Non, MLG, Per, Drinks on Laus! Ain't he sweet?
LAUS?????
Im pouring drinks!
Wish I could drink.. bad mental health day over here
Why thank you, Laus! This wine you are drinking really is wonderful! :seeya: It's so good to share a drink with someone with such refined taste in wine. :)

At this point in your forced sobriety, a good sniff of the cork should help. So sorry for your bad day, Ches.
Yes, dymph is thirsty. I'll have a rum & coke, hold the coke. Thanks Laus! Does anyone know if putting your alcohol in the freezer makes a difference in flavor or longevity? I had a drink of some, well, we'll call it 'stuff' that the guy said would either kill you or cure you of whatever ails you. :lol: I thought boy, if that were true we'd be sending some up to Ches. Sadly, neither was true.

No! Stay up all night! Why don't you both have a slumber party instead? j/k
I came home after class and an errand. Then I ate stew. And honey for dessert.
I ran downstairs for some chips and a banana, and a glass of water. I think the five flights make it acceptable?
I could go for a beer, though.
But that's basically all the time. :lol:

Couple of quick questions. Why do they call them slumber parties when there is little to no slumber involved? And honey for dessert? Do you mean spoonfuls of honey? I used to eat peanut butter like that, but I've never heard of anyone eating honey that way.
That is a good question about slumber parties. I'm not sure why they're called what they. I'd have to look that up.
I had thought of eating peanut butter the same way too. I put some honey in a bowl and ate it with a spoon. You could say I ate it like Winnie the Pooh only with a bowl and spoon. ;D

OK Keph, you were just kidding :) But it would be quite unseemly and I dare say scandalous for Dymphna and I to have a pajama party in gotobed. All you men wandering in and out. You know. So, Dymph and I will be good and Noble Catholics and refrain from pajama parties in gotobed. :) Besides.......there's enough shock and awe around here ;)
Laus? Whatcha drinking tonight? Nevermind....I can't keep up with you. I'll just have something simple. Cold. But simple.
Yep. B.O.R.I.N.G. Don't blame anyone for avoiding this thread. But, strangely, I am not totally bored. I am somewhat sufficient unto myself. :lol:
Ok. One of my sheep got out. So I got my faithful dog. Turned off the electric fence and it jumped back in! Tell me something. Why do my truly dumb sheep know not to touch the fence when the power is on, but my truly brilliant grandchildren still want to touch the fence?

Long ago I used to eat a little bit on the tip of a spoon. Hmm, come to think about it, how many times did I do this; it may have added up! A whole teaspoon all at

Well, there goes my theory....let the, touch it, and then they won't want to do it again ;D. Our electric is pretty strong, though. Maybe you should kick it up a notch :P
I hope it's ok to open, Carleen. You've got a lot on your plate, so I thought I'd help you out =) Anyway, it's my night off, so the kids are outside at the shed with husband. I just stepped outside to find my glass of water, and oldest son is standing on top of the farm truck....bare chested, in nothing but a pair of gym shorts :o they're barbarians...the whole lot of them. Laus, what kind of wine do you have for us this evening?

My lovely Munda....I am delighted you have opened up and ordered our wine (LAUS?). Here to nights off, mom. Try to suck all the pleasure you can out of it. It's the little things. A full glass of wine, listening to the littles and almost, almost wanting to get in on their fun time with dad. But busting your buttons at how adorable the barbarians are! I wish my past Littles could be little again. Yes, I was so happy nursing cooking changing diapers doling out graham crackers chopping apples cheese and all kinds of finger food. What I wouldn't give to go back to that!
LAUS Tibi Christe! Munda's glass. She can see the bottom and she is hoping for a second glass. My glass is not half full, it is half empty, Laus. I am in my reminiscing mode while Munda is in her relaxing mode. While she relaxes, I am wishing I were back to where she is in life. Laus, we are both quite thirsty, and do not wish to experience dry throat.

It's amazing how well you know us around here, Carleen. Don't worry. I filled my own stinking glass! Thanks a lot, Laus!
Wow, I am so happy you had your own bottle. My, goodness, who knows where Laus is? He does have a fiancee now. I have a feeling, now that he has a love, we will only get the dreggs. He will save his best for her.

Yes Dymph, I forgot to get some shredded cabbage and potatoes while at store tonight. I would also love to have some Svedka, if you don't mind. It's as good as Absolute, but cheaper!

Throw some carrots and onion in there and you've got my Boiled Dinner. Now I know what we can have for supper on Saturday! I like it better with turnips instead of potatoes, but not Hubby. Next time I make it, I'm going to try putting both of them in the pot. That should be interesting. I tried it once with rutabagas but that kind of sucked. It's been a while since I've made it. Hey! Now that I think about it, I think we've got some ham in the freezer. Oh, I've got to go check! I'll do that on the way out to the store. :)
Has anyone seen PerE lately?
No, and I'm worrief. She usually shows everyday. I haven't seen her for a couple.
Hopefully she's just met a fabulous friend and has been too busy to check in. Or maybe she's on retreat in Switzerland. Or she's tied up in the back of somebody's van trying to figure out how to get out of there without her captors seeing her leave. Sorry, we were watching one of those Bourne Identity movies. Anyway, I pray everything is alright with her. :pray3:
I'm sure she's fine :cheeseheadbeer: She's probably just making a sacrifice and not getting on the forum for the week, or something.
Tomorrow is Our Lady's Birthday! There better be thread to outdo all threads for her! What's everyone doing? We are having pizza night, and making blueberry cheesecake. Hopefully, I can coordinate some hymns for Her with the kids, but we shall see

I am so freaking tired. Salsa took all I had to give. But worth it, I hope.
Don't blame everyone for just going to bed. I was out yakking with the choir. Oh, guess what they made for dinner tonight? They grilled salmon with onion and dill, had vegetable soup, gravy and biscuits, gravy heavily seasoned with sage and chives, squash and butter salt and pepper, gingerbread. What a feast. I can't believe how serious they are getting about their food. What a bunch of foodies :)

When you are young and vital, losing time to sleep is almost a sin. Now, old and tired like me, the ratio of 16 hours of sleep to 8 hours awake is called for. :lol:

Would it hurt your feelings if I said I'm not a fan of coconut flavored drinks? I know we had the peeps contention, so I'd hate to stir the pot ;). How about a splash of lime, instead, please? I'm a citrus kind of gal :).
We still have to eat dinner, too. It's just 7:30 here, so I've got a little time. Take your time on that drink ;)
Munda, I want that drink to be exactly as you ordered. I have lemon bubble water. Will that do? No lime, but I could order some into gottobed.

We pretend there is a room we meet in and just veg out...dump our worries and burdens and talk nonsense and wax profound. Plus we share what we did today, our concerns and let the children still not sleeping, run wild. Welcome Regina! Pull up a chair. Laus, Regina may be thirsty.

You and every young mother live your very own groundhog day! So did i. Had 6 kids and just cleaned, did laundry, cooked, and took care of kids. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. And yet, when I fell into bed it was sort of, I don't know, sort of a righteous exhaustion. If that can be said.
Welcome to gotobed. Such a nice surprise when we get new visitors! I love your user name. Come again. If I had known you were here last night I would have fixed you a drink!
Welcome Regina Caeli and Perpetua, to the go to bed thread! There is an accompanying Good Morning thread, and now a new Good Afternoon thread, as well as the not so popular It's 4:00 AM And All Is Well thread. So, as you can see, we've got the day covered. If you're feeling blue, have news to share, or just feel like you are in a silly mood, you might find one of these threads to be to your liking. Carleen opens the morning thread as well as the go to bed thread, unless someone beats her to it.
I look forward to seeing you both there! :cheeseheadbeer: 8)

You're too kind. I've got the last dregs of this day to tackle, before I hit the diffuse button. But I had a power nap and a cup of afternon coffee not too long ago, so I think I'll make it ;)

Perhaps the greatest gift you could give your dear Wife is spiritual. As in ignoring your own feelings and taking care of her needs instead. Smile like you mean it, tell her how much you love her and why, even if you have to find those answers from the past, let her know you still think she's beautiful and thank God for the day you met her. I'm not trying to put words in your mouth, just giving you an idea.
You know, Ches, I think that since you can't exercise your body, you need to exercise your mind. It takes work to get rid of negativity. A Priest compared it to overweight people exercising to get rid of unwanted weight. It's difficult, takes alot of moving of the will to make it happen, takes self denial, and it doesn't happen over night, but over time through trial and error. There may be times when I binge on negativity (I know what my weak points are), become conscious of it and have to start again, but the merit is in starting again, not giving up. Sometimes it takes more effort than I know how to give. So I say a prayer asking God to provide what I can't right now, and do something small. The next time is easier and I can maybe do something a little bigger. I just know that it takes alot to get out of that habit. Yes, I said habit because for me it had become one. You get the idea. I'm done now, I promise.
I hope the Mrs has had a wonderful day. I offered my morning rosary for her. :pray3:

RC has quickly caught on to the virtual nature of these threads. The things we discuss here ARE virtual. What we do during the evenings is truly private. What we say is sentiment, but not necessarily what is truly happening in our own homes. So talk of alcohol, parties, and shenanigans, is much more virtual than real!! But then, really, how can you surely know this? Keeps you guessing, huh?
I don't know about you guys, but I'm drinking chamomile tea, petting the cat, and listening to Dickens (The Pickwick Papers, one of my favorite chapters). :P
I am doing the dishes. Stopping only to check the drop-ins on this thread, but yes, I do have a bit of hooch to send me on to sleep-land. Truth.

Yes. We are open. The tea is fresh, the drinks are cold. The furniture a bit ratty, but that's because the thread is the bed head thread. What do you expect?
Laus, I hardly know what to say! Your foul mouth, And Chris, did you really use foul language? Just settle down. I need your masculinity on this thread. Laus, really? Here, have a wee drink and stretch out. Relax. No hurling epithets. This is most unbecoming, says mama. Chris.....what in the world of Chris were you thinking? Banned? Three days?

Wayward boys! :rofl: :popcorn: Just wondering what else they gonna get up to!
Aside from my boys that have run amok, how is everyone else out there in cyberspace? Keph, I know you have been well behaved. I would have heard about it. Regina, I hear you are a polyglot. I am not. I barely speak my native tongue! Ask Quare, I don't know what I am talking about. But... I keep trying.
Turning in by ten thirty. Just must.
It's 8:30, and I'm beat! Husband is traveling for a week, so I'm holding down the fort. No drinks tonight for me, thanks. Just a quick bedtime story or two with kids, clean teeth, and bed. Rosary prayed. I hope Our Lady will share some of the graces with y'all. Nighty-night!

Tea sounds nice. :)

I have chamomile and peppermint. Your choice my sweets. Peppermint goes great with cocoa!
Water's heating for chamomile. I don't like mint. ;)
Munda, I can wait. Don't hurry. Really. I may be a bit of a rascal, but really, take your time. Would hate to see an accident because we are waiting for our margaritas.

I am home... enjoy! It's a lovely evening out on the patio this evening. Would you like a taco to go with your margarita? Better hurry! Those kids can put away some tacos

Well Munda, I wouldn't take a taco out of the moths of babes, but if there is one left over....what kind are they....beef or chicken? Hey, grab thatmone, he's had 2 already!
I miss Laus. I miss, Christulsa....the real one, not halographic Chris.Comeback. tomorrow, me thinks, you can come back. Until then, :cheeseheadbeer:
Well, Munda, did you rescue that taco from your little? Really, you should discuss big mama with them. So they know to save one of anything ando everything for big mama. It's only right. She's big...meh... and she's mama!
Muna, are you always " hidden"?

Muna, are you always " hidden"?
Tell me how to be hidden. Bird would not tell me how!
Surprisingly, there are a few tacos leftovers. They ate, and ate, and ate! They played well today =) But, they still left some for Big Mama. They are both selfish and considerate, all at the same time ;) I almost always make beef tacos, but every now and then I throw in chicken or pork tacos, just for fun. What is your go to??
I wish Laus and Chris would behave themselves, too. They provide some good spice to the forum. The crudeness I could do without, though. Holographic Chris...meh. That's how I feel about that.
Ok, sweet Munda, going to bed as soon as I finish my Margarita and taco. Night all. Remember, turn the lights out!

Muna, are you always " hidden"?
Yes, always hidden. I cant remember exactly how I accomplished that. My six year old would suggest spidey-sense, but I'm more inclined to say it is a profile option, or something. Ask KK
Under "account settings" you can uncheck "show others my online status." But why would you want to be hidden? What is our Big Mama up to?
I believe she has gone nighty-night. It's been a long day. You all need to make sure you are rested up for the weekend. It's right around the corner! Pretend it a cold day in February and you are sick of the cold and dreaming of... I don't know....the Bahamas? Whatever! You all get the point, right>? Now is the time to do the things you will be dreaming of this winter! Make those dreams come true, Mama!! Munda, RC, Bernadette, all of you! PerE, Elizabeth, you all know who you are! :) Make a winter dream come true!

Bahamas, do I have to wear a *shiver* bathing suit? That would be a nightmare for me and everyone else. I'd have the beach to myself, though. There's that.
Ok. So. Open! Laus, you out of jail yet? Christulsa??
So....the choir is here. Singing their hearts out. Wow. Beautiful! Such a privilege to listen in on this.
I see you Lydia!!!! Hello! :seeya:
Bird I know you're hidden, but come out, I have a great cuppa hot cocoa for you! Come, enjoy!

It's delicious: so moist, and healthy as far as cakes go. Reminds me of carrot cake, only fewer spices and much fluffier.

Yes, it's close, but no cigar. One year my Aunt, who brought carrot cake every Easter, brought "zucchini cake" and told us how much we'd love it because it tastes
just like her carrot cake! Ummm no. Just no. We really tried to like it. We knew how much went into making it since a cake that weighs 6 pounds takes an awful lot of ingredients +love :-* And how lugging it all that way Uncle/AuntVille, Illinois and we lived in Tulsa or St Marys, meant at least an 8 hour drive. It also meant, "Kids, even if it tastes like crud, we are going to eat it. And we're going to eat alot of it, because there is alot of it, and we love Aunt Sally. We love her enough to make the sacrifice of eating this nasty stuff with a smile on our faces. It means the world to her when she comes down and we make a big deal about her and how much love she puts into the usually really good carrot cake she brings." :grin: :toth: :patriot: :thumbsup: But no, it's not just like it. :lol:

youshould send them on a tour theycan serenade SD members in our living rooms. it would be an excuse for them to travel the country, and it would be an excuse for me to wear real clothes :lol:
i'm home for the weekend. trying not to hyperfocus on whether the Mrs eats or not. her doctor is having her do this food journal. not much to report..yestdday she just had the shake. going to try to talk about getting help again. I dont think the sleep deprivation is helping. This little guy thinks it's an all night buffet here. he keeps the same hours as a new baby. She does not want to bedshare with him because of the SIDS risk and also he shouldn't be in my bed with all the IV's and narcotics and vent tubing and dialysis tubes filled with blood and needles and all that. That cant be good. But also the risk of being smothered to death. Although after 6 months the risk probably goes down I'd imagine. but that's how she has always been...she likes to have him sleep in the crib but putting him IN the crib is difficult because she'll nurse him to sleep and he'll LOOK like he's sleeping, she says he feels like a 500lb weight in her arms and then as soon as the back of his little head hits the crib mattress--WAHHHHHH he starts screaming, like he wasabout to be eaten by a sabre tooth tiger. And im sure thats how we evolved--that's how little tiny vulnerable babies ensure their survival.
i dont know how lng its been but she's bee up with him for awhile now.
:pray3:
Ches!!! Your idea! And I can tag along and get a bead on everyone. Great, now I have to sell it to the choir.
Mrs C..... :pray1: :pray2: :pray3: Ches, when I saw my daughter for her wedding, I about fell over. Beautiful....and so thin she could slip under the door. I hope to never see that again. :pray1: :pray2: :pray3:
5:30. How you feeling Munda? No hubby, just your littles. Should we open up here a bit early. Then when you do go to bed it will seem you've had an evening!
I'm ready, but Hubby just called to tell me he's bringing KFC home for supper. Me having coleslaw should be interesting. :lol:

Probably has some kind of onion in batter....meh. That was my favorite fast food. I could count on one hand how many times I've had it in my life. Though I liked it, we never spent money on fast food unless traveling, which was rare. We used no canned gravies, premade sauces, frozen meals, frozen fries, piizzas, or pies of any kind. If I couldn't make it myself we rarely had it. We were poor, but we did not eat like the poor. I made brown rices, soups, oven potatoes, pizzas, grainy breads, whatever. We drank some juice, but mostly water or coffee. Specialty foods were not what I wanted to spend my little money on. I bought everything with the thought, how can I stretch this? It's way different now. We just have what we want, though it is still homemade. But now I will buy specialty items. But hubby still wants healthy foods. Helps maintain his 33 waist he has had our whole marriage.
Oh, I'm the one that got fat. Not now, but when I could eat whatever I made, I was the one to get fat. But, that was when I made cakes, cookies. I only do that twice anyear now. Holidays. Forgot to mention. I did buy ice cream. So I ran miles and miles, until I was 52, already had a fake knee, but it was my feet that gave out on me! Connective tissue disease. And Rheumatoid.
Notice anything special about ME tonight? Not tellin if you can't guess. Hint.....it's about my looks.
You are beautiful as always. Did you get your hairs did? Take your saturday night shower to be ready for Sunday morning Mass?

I'm here. Exhausted, but here :). I had a very long, very busy day, but it was a good day. Three of the kids stayed home with grandma (my MIL came in to help me this weekend, God bless her). Busy day of birthday party, girls club at church, lunch, and grocery shopping. Then came home to visit with mother in law and kids. Sent kids to bed at 8:30, and here I am. MIL is getting ready for bed, too. I'm going to have a glass of red, relax a little, and hopefully get some decent sleep. I never sleep worth a darn when hubby is gone, except maybe every third night when I just crash.

My cup of nightly tea is already brewing. ;D I got my flu shot today, and so far no pain. :thumbsup:
Hi Bird, good to see you as always!
staying at the nursing facility.. Settled into bed my roommate and I are watching the giants game.. football season means q lot of late nights
Hi Ches, you at the nursing care and therapy place? Hope you week goes well for you.
Sorry Ches, I see you've already said. Enjoy the game!
Hi Non. Though you are hidden, I see you! :seeya:
gotobed. yay! Kids have kitchen duty, and I'm getting Little Miss down for the night (hopefully...she's bathed, freshly diapered, and has a full belly). Hopefully, I have a little energy left in me for a glass of wine and a little down time, but if not, that's ok. I feel like a hamster in a wheel lately...get up, hit the ground running until I go to sleep at night; wake up and do it all over again; did I hit every bar on the wheel today? I hope so???
Oh! good news...daughter found a way to get washer to work :cheer: The drum stopped spinning, but she discovered that if she manually spins it, when it gets to the part of the cycle where it's supposed to spin, it'll catch and keep going. whoo hoo! we have clean clothes. Husband will fix it this weekend. He can fix anything.

yes another week staying here. Dtating to get impatient and frustrated but I know the Mrs would want me home if it were possible. Starting to think it's the baby not sleeping that's making her eating disorder/ptsd worse.. Worried that things will never be back to normal (not like things were even approaching normal but I was home

Ok. So the birds are outside enjoying a trash can fire and making s'mores. So cute.
Oh! Bed time. Yes. Time to think about all things sleep related. What pillow? What blanket? Or maybe just a sheet. Flannel....or cotton? Really there's a lot to think about. Should I have another drink? Or...will I be up all night getting rid of it?

Wrecked our car. On way to adoration. Very close call. Hit by semi. Ripped the front off our car, but hey, we are fine, against all odds. By the way, we were on the 3rd mystery of our rosary. Thank You Lord, Mary, Angels. Just thanks. Avoided getting hit broadside by a second or less.

he's from Texas...it's too hot for a literal night cap ;)
if you just want a single pour, a good red wine or Maker's Mark will do; even a chilled limoncello is good, but a bit on the sweet side. If you want a mixed drink, Old Fashions are pretty darn good, as well as a mixed vodka with various fruit juices, as Carleen suggested.

Brewing up a cup of chai tea. Mind if I plop down here on the floor and just soak up the wisdom? Yes, there's often wisdom in the humor! I do better just listening.

You plop, well, ladies don't technically plop, we
r e c l i n e, or seat ourselves. Scratch that my dear, this is SD, the virtual world, so if you want to plop, then by golly, you plop away! Not sure whether you are still here or not, it seems the little green light no longer has meaning. So please excuse me if I bump into you. Anyway, what I started all of this to say was, if you happen across any wisdom, please throw it my way. I'll do the same for you, should I come across any in my travels. It's nice to have you back. :)
Yes indeed, ladies recline! In 'public', my manners are stellar, you'd be proud. But in the Go to Bed environment, it feels like a comfortable family gathering. A slumber party sometimes! Tonight I envisioned myself with my pretty blue cup of tea, and jammies, walking over to ya'll and sitting (plopping lol) cross legged on the floor, to take it all in.
Tonight's wisdom, through my lens: the usual graciousness and warmth from the usual suspects, no matter their crosses.

Per, if I plopped on the floor and sat Indian style, you'd need a crane to get me up again. Really, when I sit on the floor,I have to lay down and roll on my belly and shimmy my way back up with butt in air using hands and feet. You'd never know by looking at me, but even with all the therapy and exercises I do, my joints just don't allow this old Indian to sit as her forefathers did. Lol. But I love the imagery you have created. Family. :grouphug:
and I love the image you created, sweet CD! You are very descriptive :P
I'm so proud of you, that you keep up with your therapy and exercises! It's easy to get discouraged. Stay limber my friend. I'm sure you're doing stretching too?
Believe me Per, work on this little farm keeps me stretched and nimble. Even if I do tip over from time to time.... :)
Open for ummmmm, errrrrr, oh yes, I know, family time. SD family time. Virtual style. With real drinks though. Real tea, cocoa, and real wine, etc. What ever it takes to get comfy, bring it. I can't be providing things I don't have, now can I?
Go to bed, indeed! Real drinks, real wine...for real. I was hoping for a nice, enjoyable evening; a fun post about our dinner for Bilbo and Frodo's birthday (kids love The Hobbit), but it was just chaos :-\ Husband is traveling home over the next 24 hours, I'm exhausted, stressed, and he will not be here until late tomorrow night. I made it all the way through, without losing it, until tonight :-[ I got fed up with the bickering during dinner (which was much later than I had intended), while trying to get baby to sleep, and well...they all got sent to bed; blanket punishment. PJ's, teeth, bed, end of story. Actually, don't even care if teeth get done. Ugh! I was so close to getting through this business trip, while still keeping things together. Humility had other ideas ;D
ETA: PerE, how's that for "plopping", since wisdom is not even within grasp?! ;)
You gotta roll with the punches! Let the holy water fly!! But not the wine. :wag: You have to draw the line somewhere.
I had my whole day planned out last night, only to have Hubby blow it all out of the water at 6 am. It had been a while since he's had a gun drawn on him like that! He comes busting through the front door, he said he tripped just as the key unlocked the door and he tried to catch himself on it, making all kinds of racket, scared the living daylights out of me! I had finally taken the blankets off the windows yesterday, so I knew it was dark, but I didn't know what kind of dark; night or morning? I still am not sure why he came home that early, but I thought, OK, I can get alot out of this situation. hehehe
I've got 2 fish tanks that I have bought new ornaments and filters (I think 20 years is long enough for that kind of thing to last, don't you?) and I haven't been able to do anything with it. So Hubby can help me finally get to it, right? Wrong. "I'd love to help, but I've got to go pay the phone bill, get the oil changed, blah, blah, blah." So he's home for an hour before it's time for the bus route. He made "steak" (I have questions about aged beef if anyone has any knowledge) and eggs. Then on his way out the door, I hear, "Oh, I might have the Protege spend the night, and I'm going to St Marys right after the bus, blah, blah, blah."
So, now it's 8:45, still no Hubby or Protege, no clean sparkly new fish tanks, and all I've done all day is... do we have a pathetic drumroll?... try to learn how to draw a stupid maple leaf to I can do my nails with Autumn leaves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know whether to find something to drink or to cry!! What a bloomin' waste I am. :-[
So, please, Munda, pat yourself on the back! You did great for having Hubby gone. The kids are still alive, you still have at least 4 walls around you, your smart daughter fixed the washer!!! Look at you! You made it this far! You can't miss them properly without a little unrest. :D Just a little bit more... you can do it!! :cheer: :cheer: Hang in there Sweetie!
Now PerE and Carleen, about this wisdom....
Choir just left. Big grilled salmon dinner. Fried rice and pumpkin pie. Oh yes, corn on the grill. Mess is cleaned up. Dog begged his little heart out, but no one caved. So I brought him in and fed him his food with butter and he still went out begging.
Munda, of course you blew it. 2 weeks is long and you tried so hard. You did well 13 out of 14 days. I'd say you did very well. My kids heard me yell every day, so I'd have to throw a fit to get their attention. At least you are not like I was. Your kids won't even remember in the morning, so enjoy your wine and the peace and quiet. Tomorrow is a new day.
Dymph, your nails will be lovely, you will get your leaves perfect and the fish tank may be cleaned tomorrow. Or not. But it's been 20 years since you've updated their furniture....not to worry, it may be a few days, but it will happen, my good woman. You are patient in so very many ways, and since this is clearly not going your way, I guess you'll have to tap into your bag of virtue, which is really very generous in size, and sprinkle yourself with patience, sounds like you will need it. :)
Dymph, if I were so blest to be married to you, that tank would be clean, so there.

Using a muscle massage machine. My back is so sore from the accident. Dymph, you were right. Can't believe how this crept up. So tired. Had therapy today. Won't have it until tuesday.Glad. Here's to hurting bodies :cheeseheadbeer: Come join in. Everyone has something that hurts, right? Bird, I see you're getting comfy. Isn't it wonderful?
hmm that soundsreally interesting. Like one of those things that vibrates
I went to OT the other day and we went to this "multisensory room" where they had this vibrating mat thing you can lie down on and it was like getting a back massage without having to deal with the whole touch thing. supposedto be good for cirulation too.
she said the point is to "focus on your body" and be mentally "present" which sounds new agey but considering i spend a lot of time mentally dissociated and not really "there" i'll try anything. was a nice break from the usual cycle of bad thoughts in my head. now im home after a long week away from home and the mrs is working until 1am so waiting for her to get home. My sister is babysitting theboys and I have a nurse until 7am
my son is working on beethoven's ecossaise right now so i got to listen to that, my cousin is coming over tomorrow to help me tune my steinway so it will sound even better tomorrow. Lots of my extended family is in town and I think we will have some visitors tomorrow
Yep, we're open. Open for whatever. Food is good. Drinks are good. Jammies are awesome. Also love quilts. Too bad it's been so warm here. So no quilt.
Yes. It was a slightly boring day here. But....is that bad? No. I've had all the excitement I can stand. The most exciting thing that happened today was finding a bolt and washer stuck in a tire of our rental. Took care of it ourselves. Went to Walmart. The closest thing we have for a supermarket. Found a blouse for 1.00. Actually cute and will wear tomorrow with a matching skirt. When saying rosary, it was actually quite meditative which pleases me. A grace for sure, but one that bolsters my faith and gives me a bit of hope. We are trying very hard to regularly do more than called for because of our previous attitude of just doing the required. Bad habit and working to erase it. God help us!
Will probably turn in early. Not watching TV leaves only books. Not reading fiction leaves only nonfiction. Non fiction does not draw me like fiction used to. Although I have read many riveting nonfiction. Love survival stories. Love non saccharine saint books. Hate syrup in the stories. No one's life is dipped in syrup.
Sorry Carleen, to leave you all lonesome. On the way out to chinese buffet for supper. I'll see if I can't sneak a few eggrolls or something out to bring you. I finally finished my nails and will post pictures when possible. I guess we are taking the dune buggy so now I've got to change and pull my hair up. ::) Enjoy your evening!
Yep, still early. Turning in. Just can't find a good reason not to. Dymph, she's going out to dinner, Chinese, Munda either has husband home now or awaiting. Per is not showing her sweet self, Non is not, Keph is probably somewhere in the alps, Ches is home now, Heinrich doesn't care about us, Martin has been a no show, what else is a girl to do? Haven't seen much of Lydia, or Regina, or Christe. Bird is probably chatting with Akavit. Don't get me wrong. I am pleased and happy everyone has something better to do. Truly. Love you all. :grouphug: Hey!! Haven't seen hide nor hair of Laus. Oh yeah, he has his Russian, now Roman Catholic babe. Good for you, Laus!
If you guys come in later...you know the drill. Clean up. Turn lights off. See you in the morning. Be good.
Drill commenced, executed, and finished. White glove test given and found to be satisfactory, per regulation guidelines. Hopefully to your satisfaction as well, ma'am. Gloves left under kitchen sink, should you deem an inspection is necessary. :grin: :P
/I know, I know, I'll take my smart alecky face somewhere else. 8)
:-* for your beautiful smart alecky face :)
Good night, family! May the angels surround you. :pray1:
I should sleep.
Why?? Sleep makes you lose out on winning time. Winners don't need sleep. Snap out of it, Kaese!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P ;) 8)
Never figured out how draw a maple leaf, so I just drew the trees. Late summer (greens & golds), early autumn (golds & reds), and late autumn (wine reds and purples), and sunflowers to top it all off.

Been waiting for This dymph! Beautiful!
Just gave Logan a new rawhide. I know, not very popular thing to do if you are a purist. But I guess I'm not and he loves them. So...after he chewed it for a bit, with the utmost pleasure, I took it from him and put the non-chewed part in my mouth repeatedly, marveling, that each time he took it back he did not jump on me, make any contact with his nails or teeth, in his a tempt to get it out of my mouth. He is such a gentle doggy soul. I found another rabbit in my yard that he played with....to death. No blood, no broken neck. Probably scared to death. Poor thing.
Thanks everyone! This is all Hubby's fault. :toth: He likes it when I do my nails. Anyway, each tree has 3 colors/colours for our friends from the North and a sparkle element. I don't seem to have the ability to get the rich color or sparkle in my phone pictures.
This one turned out OK. It allows you to see a bit more of the different colors.

Dymph, I will never polish my nails again, so seeing yours, I can live vicariously through you! In truth, I never even attempted to do what you do with your nails.. But....they remind me of what I did in the corners of all my rooms. The corners, near the ceiling, I would decorate in a like fashion as you do your nails. Every corner of most of the rooms in my house had a floral splash. Nothing you could buy, just my own thing. I love how you do this.
G-nite, Dymph, Michael Wilson, Ches, Martin, Per, Non, Lynne, Miriam, Heinrich, Kaese, Logan, Bird, Lydia, CE, RC, Quare etc.... :grouphug: :seeya:

Pinterest is Diablo!!! Do you know how you can click on a picture and that link brings you to another one? And another one? That's when I figured out that people were doing with their nails. And the most astonishing thing I found, was that it's OK to wear blue polish, or purple, or *Oh the horror!!!" green. I just kept playing around with the designs until I got the hang of it. I love this stuff!
Goodnight Carleen! Sweet dreams and may the Angels sing God's praises for you, while you get some rest..

having a really bad night. back at the nursing facility. really getting tired of this place. my older son isnt taking it very well. perhaps that isn't the rigt way to say it since he is doing the best he can with his 7 year old coping skills. i just get the sense that i'm ruining his life. his life has never been predictible and he often has weeks where he doesn't know who's going to be home with him, whose house he's sleeping at. But this on again off again arrangement has been giving him a lot of anxiety because just as he gets used to having me home again I have to leave. plus the mrs. mental health is not good at all so i cant imagine things are fun at home while im gone. this is what developmental psychologists call an "adverse childhood experience." and i'm not sure if the baby cares either way. he sure isnt sleeping longer stretches yet.
plus the nurses that are here sundays are not the same as the ones here during the week and unfamiliar caregivers + my PTSD are not a great combo

I'm sorry you are having a rough time of it, Ches. I get weirded out by anyone touching me, so I can't even imagine having PTSD along with that touch. I think of Our Lord actually feeling a woman touch the hem of his robe. And it seems like He just got man-handled throughout His live.
As for your little man, remember that children are extremely resilient. What you all are going through makes me think of military children. Alot of them endure a parent being in a foreign country for sometimes months and yes, even years. So many parents in the military miss out on so much. God bless them all. I'm pretty sure your little guys will be just fine. It just a little bit different, just like everyone else. Some men may stay home, but the Husband stays in the garage, or works on the lawn, or whatever they do besides being present as Husbands and Fathers. Again, some but not all.
Dear Ches. Got no kind of help for this terrible burden of yours. I would give much to be you for a week so you can have one normal week with your family. I know that's somewhat silly to say, but you get my sentiment. Even my normal would be a relief to you. I would be honored to do that. :) :pray3:
Time It's time to consider our options. We could stay up all nite and meet in the 4 o'clock thread. Or...we can be responsible adults and get our Jammies on. I vote jammies. Not footie jammies. Too hot.
I just got back from going out for ice cream for my birthday. :) Now for a relaxing evening of window shopping on Amazon while listening to Dickens. :P

Eeeeeeks. I forgot about the keys. Here, let me open that up, and maybe enjoy a night cap with you, dymph. It's only right. Yes, a night cap. Hmmmmm, what shall it be? How about a shot of apple pie vodka?
I brought my own shot glass CD. Can you hit me with some of the apple pie vodka please? That is, if Dymphna hasn't scarfed it all down yet....
Who needs a shot glass when they certainly made the spout, perfect. After we open it and pour you a couple of drinks, it will be swig time! :)
This is opening a bit late. Sorry! It's time for a few brewskies. Yes, help yourself. Munda may have a few home made brews! Her hubby, I don't know where he got his skills, but we seem to be benefitting, though virtually.
So maybe I'm the only one to be ready for bed. Bird, you might be getting ready. If so, have a blessed refreshing nights sleep. Per, I know you put a lot of stock in a good night's sleep, so may God bless your night with calm and satisfying dreams.

As you know Dymph, we have anything and everything here. Of course. We have virtually everything. Come. It's time anyway.
Martin, I know you're out there. Why don't you come in and have a drink. Virtual drinks do not bother your stomach. Just come enjoy it.

Yes, a belated but sincere Happy Birthday! It sounds like you had a nice day. Wow! Just think. You might just be a married woman on your next birthday. How awesome!

Is this a time honored tradition of yours, PerE? Poor puppy. Funny and true story that might gross you out too! It's a win win kind of tale. My Hubby gets so grossed out by some of the drinking habits people display at the bike rallies we go to, he just doesn't know what to do with himself. I finally convinced him that no one cares if he drinks or not (which, aside from a Clamato beer once in a while, he belongs in the not category). I, on the other hand, worry about being disrespectful or not polite. Plus, I'm a very curious person, which will be my downfall yet! So when we are all sitting around the fire at night and the booze starts flowing, I want to know if Darla's Apple Pie is better than Anita's, so they pass it to you and you take a swig and then the same with the next batch. After that, you pass it around the circle again. Then someone asks if you have ever tasted cinnamon whiskey? No, then here, try this! Then a girl with one of the vendors is walking around giving away jello shots. You can't pass that up!
The first time I ever tasted moonshine, it was out of a mason jar that had the word SAMPLE written on it. The friend I was with bought some, but it wasn't from the jar I had just drank out of like I thought it would be. I had a sinking feeling in my gut, that I had just drank out of the same jar that 3,000 other people had as well!! :eek: My friend said that if it didn't kill me it would cure me. The moral of the story is to not get into a line for something that a guy with a small vendor trailer parks it on the back 40, but still has a line of people well into 3am. :swoon1: Nothing good can come of it. Fun, yes. Good, no? No. Now I stick to people I know before drinking out of a bottle. So there, Hubby! :bronx: :grouphug: :eek: 8)
The bar is open. Both, the coffee cocoa bar, and the other, with much much to choose from.
So..... my dog stayed with us through both our rosaries tonight! And lovey? He was a regular love bug. Coming, laying his head down on us. I think he was meditating on the mysteries. Can't say for sure, but that's my opinion. Yup, that Logan...he's very interior.
Dymph, Per, Bird, Heinrich, Quare, no one wants to chime in here? Wow, a dull night.

I'm sorry Sweetie! We just got home. We drove 80 miles to go get lab work done, only to be told I had to be fasting! I did not have a happy Hubby. Now I'm trying to get into 'go to bed' mode. I wish it were sugar plum fairies dancing in my head, but alas, no. I hope you have sweet dreams!

Oh how frustrating Dymphna!
CD, you're probably all tucked into bed safe and sound by now, so here is my angel to kiss your brow and watch over you tonight. Just be sure to send him home in the morning. I was hoping to have him around to celebrate St. Michael's feast day.
Love you guys!!
ps. Dymphna, write a book. That tale was another awesome one.

I once fasted to get lab work done, only to be told I hadn't needed to fast. :( Not quite so chagrining as your situation, though.
Yeah, the biggest problem with that is, Hubby doesn't get home until around 5:00 pm and then the long drive to the lab. I can do the fast with no problems, I' sure. Lord knows I've got enough to offer up. But I worry about being diabetic and fasting for that long. Oh well, it's high time I start doing some corporal works of mercy among other things. Sweet dreams, all. I'm keeping watch over the fort so you can rest easy. It will be another day to give glory to God, soon. We're locked and loaded Miss Carleen. :) 8)
Sweet dreams Non and PerE!
Poor Dymph, I know how you feel. One time they did a sugar check, which I didn't know was a fasting check. I ate a granola bar on my way and my sugar test came back borderline. That darn test followed me for 2 years, though all the rechecked were well inside normal. Ugh!
It's 8:00. If you want a coos light, it out in my Den of Iniquity. The choir has already imbibed. They will be more than ready for their Mexican dips and chips when they get done entertaining me while I sit in my bedroom listening. I have to say, if I could, I would send the tenor to sing for you. He is PERFECT. Unless you don't like tenors. The only other perfect voice is our base, who is not here tonight. The other voices are great, but not perfect.

I love Great Expectations which I read while kids were in high school. It stuck with me though.
I don't do coos light anymore :P. Husband is making margaritas, though, if you want one :D. Tomorrow, he is smoking a brisket, and we will be here, just relaxing for the day. Our hat guy is delivering tomorrow, too, and the kids are excited! They love nothing more than a barn filled with hay bales :)
Oof da! Finally done with the hexagon fish tank. Didn't get to use the blue LED light bubble wand in it. :( So that will have to go in the rectangle one tomorrow. I'm kind of excited to put that one together. I think that the blue LED lights will show off the different colored jellyfish I've got to put in there. I hope it won't be tacky. But if it is, I'll only be out $3.99. ;D
Munda, how do you keep spiders out of all those hats in a barn? :P ;)

I don't do coos light anymore :P. Husband is making margaritas, though, if you want one :D. Tomorrow, he is smoking a brisket, and we will be here, just relaxing for the day. Our hat guy is delivering tomorrow, too, and the kids are excited! They love nothing more than a barn filled with hay bales :)
Oooh, margaritas and hay. I would be very excited too. A barn full of hay makes me feel RICH!
Ok. Choir just left about 20 min ago. Going to bed. G nite all sleep well. Oh, Per thank you for your angel last nite. Slept quite well thank you and your angel.
OK it is now time for a drink then bed. Well maybe no drink. But the process of bed. That can take hours. It's not easy being cheesy.
Ritual is soothing, so take your time!
We got caught up in a yard project and are just now settling down for dinner, so early bedtime delayed. :( ah well, hunger offered for the Poor Souls.
Sweet and holy dreams, dear friend, and all my SD friends in Christ.
:pray1:
Thank you my most productive friend, other than Dymphna, who cleaned her fish tank. Sweet dreams Per, I do hope sweet dreams for you. You are such a peach.
PerE is a peach. They have been very good this year. Having one for supper as a matter of fact. So, if PerE is a peach, does that make Carleen a nectarine? Yes, it is about time for bed. I'm getting goofy. :crazy: 8)

So..... my dog stayed with us through both our rosaries tonight! And lovey? He was a regular love bug. Coming, laying his head down on us. I think he was meditating on the mysteries. Can't say for sure, but that's my opinion. Yup, that Logan...he's very interior.
hes a German Shepherd right.. they are very loyal

Yeah, the biggest problem with that is, Hubby doesn't get home until around 5:00 pm and then the long drive to the lab. I can do the fast with no problems, I' sure. Lord knows I've got enough to offer up. But I worry about being diabetic and fasting for that long. Oh well, it's high time I start doing some corporal works of mercy among other things. Sweet dreams, all. I'm keeping watch over the fort so you can rest easy. It will be another day to give glory to God, soon. We're locked and loaded Miss Carleen. :) 8)
Sweet dreams Non and PerE!

It's 8:00. If you want a coos light, it out in my Den of Iniquity. The choir has already imbibed. They will be more than ready for their Mexican dips and chips when they get done entertaining me while I sit in my bedroom listening. I have to say, if I could, I would send the tenor to sing for you. He is PERFECT. Unless you don't like tenors. The only other perfect voice is our base, who is not here tonight. The other voices are great, but not perfect.
I'll join the bass section

You are so right. I'm an idiot these days. Seems like I have more things to do than I have brains for. Thank you for catching that. Would correcting the idiot be a corporal work of being nice? ;) :)
Open. Who left the kitchen and bar a mess? Left the lights on? Left the empty toilet paper roll on the holder? Now, far be it from me to nag, but Jimminie crickets....Ya'll are big girls and boys. I'll just do a little cleaning and let this soak in. And don't blame Laus. He's not been in for a while.
I made the mess in the kitchen. :(

I've got the kids on cleanup duty for us! Lucky for us, they will work for snickerdoodles! The art of delegating is a mother's best friend ;) So, the hay guy was running late...he had a calf die in birth yesterday =( so, he didn't make it until late this afternoon. It's 7:00, and hubby is loading up the last of the hay bales in the barn. The kids found an abandoned baby squirrel in the woods, that they are trying to nurse back to health, in between cleanup chores. Dinner will be late. But, we are having roast pork loin and potatoes. Probably a side salad. Hopefully we can still get to bed at a decent hour! I'll have a hard apple cider while waiting for dinner, if anyone is interested in joining me.
Hard apple cider sounds wonderful.

I'm with you munda. Love hard cider. Love kids cleaning and love pork loin. Its win win win.
cheers, ladies! :beer:
It's after 8. Got my jammies on. Got the beginning of a bed head which I will probably wear all day tomorrow. I can do that when my hair is on top of my head. I just shove my crown on, a gold headband, and tuck up some strands, but not all, wear my boho clothing and I look messy chic. Well, mostly messy.
Dinner is done (it was delicious), and cleaning crew is at it again. Unfortunately, I can't help, because I have to nurse the baby to sleep....oh darn! ;) Looks like we won't be getting to bed too crazy late, after all. Everyone should have teeth brushed and be tucked in by 9:30. Tomorrow is a school day, and cross country in the afternoon. Gotta get adequate rest!
G-nite, Munda, and to all your littles, and hubby too. Sleep well.
Sweet dreams, ladies! Oh! And gentlemen too! I pray you get restful slumber so you can wake up in the morning, refreshed and ready to find wonderful ways to please God. AFTER your coffee of course. :laugh: :coffee:
Monday nite and all is well. Well enough anyway! Looking forward to making up for last night's rotten sleep. But I should not complain, the moms here have few solid nights, if any! God bless them.
Winding down for the night. Mondays, we sacrifice our nightcaps, but there are a few fish tacos left, if anyone has the munchies. 5 am will be here soon, so stories, teeth, prayers, bed. Nighty-night! See y'all tomorrow! Also, prayers for those in Las Vegas :pray3: what a terrible world we have become.
Yes, let's think about bed. We will think about jammies, blankets, snacks, drinks, and drinks. Realy, drinks are essential, to a good night's sleep. So let's choose them wisely. We do not need to have to get up during the night. So it must be strong and concentrated. :D

Crown Apple and cranberry juice it is! (Thanks Laus! :cheeseheadbeer: )
Just got all my throws washed and folded. Ready for cool autumn weather. Yay Fall!! :thumbsup:
Sounds great, Dymph! But why thank Laus, though I'm sure he deserves it if you thanked him, but why?
Ok. G-NITE. God willing, coffee all ready for you in good morning. :seeya:
Good night, Sweetie! Sweet dreams! I thanked Laus for the Crown Royal Apple alcohol since it is made in Canada, so he is directly involved in each glass I pour. :lol:
This may well be me, tonight:

IKR That's why I'm a practicing Catholic. I'm still practicing to be a good one some day. ;) Seriously though, I only watch it when Hubby turns it on. Since we got rid of cable and he bought this Roku thing, I don't know how to turn it all on! I admit I haven't tried very hard to learn, but 3 remotes is a little much. :o 8)

Popcorn balls made at home always had at least one hair stuck in them. Oh, Dymph, butter, popcorn, lime, white wine, and a cute mickey mouse mug to drink it in, all on counter in kitchen. Ran into Laus, he said he'll be by whenever.
Well, we may be here whenever or whatnot. :shrug: You are so right about the hair on popcorn balls. Ever fall asleep and wake up with one of those things stuck to your face? My sister did. Probably one of the funniest things I've ever seen. She was around 8 or 9yo and we were getting our usual beauty treatments on Saturday evening getting ready for Mass on Sunday afternoon. It was her turn under the hairdryer and Mom was making popcorn balls for us to bring to school on Monday for our Halloween parties (this was public school before we moved to St Marys). She had made little ones for us to have that night. She let my sister go ahead and stay on the couch (leather) since it was going to be a while before her hair was done. I think all three of us girls had to be peeled off the ceiling when we heard Mom holler my sister's name. She had fallen asleep with that popcorn ball hanging out of her mouth where it stuck to her cheek and stayed when she popped up hearing her name being called! Even Mom had to laugh.

Thinking very hard about this anecdote, I have decided that if there had been a most likely to have....in my senior year book, most likely to have woken up with a popcorn ball stuck to her cheek.....it would have been me, hands down. I was the one in my class who if there was something weird to happen, it would have happened to me!
We must all go to bed in some manner or fashion. Even if we pass out, we will go to bed. Though I would not be the one to pass out, I may be the one to slightly stumble on my way to bed. I stumble all the time, so that means very little.
Good nite all. Remember, big mama prays for you, especially at adoration. Your sorry butts are covered.
You hear me Non, Dymph, Ches, Martin, Servus, Per, etc? Laus, you hear me? I pray for you all.
Thanks for covering for me, Mama. God bless and sweet dreams! I will most likely pass out as usual tonight. It's very strange to not remember falling asleep though. I'm grateful for the sleep, don't get me wrong. It's just the not remembering part that bugs me. I've just got to finish my nails before that happens. The race is on!

Thank you, CD, as always for your diligent prayers for your SD family. I have trouble getting here before you've gone to bed, so I miss your sweet sentiments and humor. We love you too! Never doubt that, or our prayers for you also.

Open. Almost 6:30. So, yeah, open. Before we know it, Munda will be turning in.
It's 6:40 here, and already dark. Tea's on the hotplate. :P
7:42, getting dark here, too. No tea here, but a most soothing beverage, like your tea. Sort of. Winding down and will have to make myself stay awake until 10:00. Too early, I wake at 4. Rather force myself to stay up.
9:07. Getting closer to my bed time which doesn't mean you can't party while I sleep. As a matter of fact, I love reading the goings on while I'm sleeping.

hahaha....I wish! we *just* finished dinner. Husband stopped at the neighbors for a "quick" visit after work, which turned into coffee hour. Which is fine. They are a retired couple with little family, so we indulge them whenever they allow us to, which is not very often. They are wonderful neighbors. Super nice to the kids, and incredibly generous. She sent goodies to the kids, and pasta salad and wine for me. I mean, really, how can I possibly complain that husband was later than expected, given all that?! So, dinner was chicken wings, a veggie platter, and a loaf of French bread (I bet y'all thought that was just a special St. Therese day thing. It's a staple ;) ). But now, I'm nursing the little one down, everyone else is tidying up, and the house is starting to settle for the night. Later bedtime than planned, but that's ok. Maybe the kids will sleep late tomorrow! HA
We had a late supper here as well. Turns out Hubby's Protege has joined a hockey team. You could have knocked us over with a feather when he told us, but it sure is a good sign. We're dying to know the back story since this is a kid that considers walking out to get the mail at his house strenuous activity. :lol: He's had kind of a rough start to the school year so I'm hoping this is the sign of a turnaround. Hubby went to watch his practice. Since hockey isn't as popular here as other sports since we don't get alot of weather cold enough to form ice, alot of the kids are just learning to ice skate. I guess it was pretty cute to watch them. So, thank goodness for Stauffer's cheese ravioli and Pepperidge Farm's garlic bread, supper ready in a jiff!
I am so happy to hear this Dymph. That boy is very blessed to have you both. Your hubby and you have beautiful hearts!

I promise I will go to bed AFTER supper!
I love you, Non! You are wonderful. G-nite!
It is indeed terrible when you don't know where you are going to sleep. Even a car is better than not having any idea. Prayers for those searching tonight. :pray3:

Lynne, what have you decided about NFL viewing? I know you are a sports enthusiast. Has this put a damper on your weekend pleasant viewing. I feel sorry for those with few viewing choices, and those that share a love for sports with their spouse. Sometimes it's the only thing they can happily agree on watching! :grouphug:
Slight hitch tonight. I was on the way to do my grocery shopping, but my car won't start. I called AAA, and they will call when they get close.
The really funny part about this is that I was almost locked into my car. My driver's seat inside door handle is broken, so I have to roll down my (automatic!) window and reach out to open the door from the outside. Without power, I couldn't open the door. I would have needed to climb over the console and automatic shift to get out the other door (which I did open). It would have been VERY awkward. Fortunately I was able to yell loud enough to get someone's attention, and they came and rescued me.
I've tried to get the handle replaced, but between me and the handyman it still isn't working. And now the handyman has not been available for a long while.
To make matters worse, I've noticed a crack in the OTHER door handle.
I've got to really attack the problem(s) again ASAP. But FIRST I hope AAA can get the car STARTED.
The car is 15 years old, but I don't want to replace it yet. It really has few miles on it, considering its age, and it is a good car.
Say a little prayer for my car, and so that I don't get locked in! :)
May your car be salvaged, Non nobis. Gonna say a Hail Mary for it + a little prayer :pray2:

Thanks - AAA replaced the battery and now it starts OK (the battery was 7 years old).
I think I'll wait until Monday to do my shopping. I think I have enough food
to tide me and my cat over until then!
So glad it worked out for you, Non. Thank goodness for AAA! 8) :grouphug:

G-nite, T&J. G-nite all. Please say a quick prayer for me. For my son, too. Thanks.
That's right. It's that time. Either have a nightcap, or some tea, but do stay away from the coffee. And come, regale me with today's adventures. I have none to tell.
I stay away from coffee anyway. ;D I like it though. :P
We haven't had too much happen at home. I've tried to do school work.
I got to see the black cat again and feed it. I always like to make him do a trick before giving the food. I make him jump up for it. I had a hard time getting him to do it this time, but finally did. :D
I recall when I used to have my dog, I proved that you can teach an old dog new tricks. I got her to do her thing where I wanted her to after a few tries or days time. I just couldn't keep it up since I was away at school at the dorms at that time.

lKepa, I am proof you CAN teach an old dog new tricks. I can still learn if I apply myself. :)
Trying very hard to get Hubby to go to bed. Snoring isn't my idea of a romantic serenade. :lol:
I can't seem to get used to our hex fish tank. The medicine Hubby put in it last night turned the water a neon green color. It's going to take forever to get that out of there. Poor sick fishies! And in our other tank, our pleco named Lips, has lost his mind. I put some soft plastic jellyfish in, like I told you before, and last night I found Lips balancing on top of one! I couldn't figure out how one of them got turned inside out a couple of days ago, and now I know. Then before bed, he swam up to the top of the tank, balanced himself upside down, and was eating the last little bits of food! I've never seen anything like it. I know there are pet psychics, but are there fish psychiatrists? Lips might need one!
Dymph, those fish especially Lips, are indeed crazy. Have you considered this may be spiritual? Maybe your hex tank has a hex on it!
Ok. I am talking to myself here. Now that has never stopped me but it does take a wee bit of the wind out of my sails. I, normally, with an audience, would wax profound. But, with no one to entertain, I will just be my weak, undistinguished self. TRUE! I speak the truth. A worm. I am a worm without my audience. Yes, this is my confession.
Non, this is where you step in and build me up. You do see how I've torn myself down.
QuoteA worm. I am a worm without my audience.
Have I got an audience for you! But the phrase is "worm spit', not just plain worm. We are Catholic after all. These people will wax profound with you about how you are worm spit and heaven is only for the great heroes of time. How could you possibly think that you deserve to be in the same space as St Thomas Aquinas or St Catherine of Sienna? And on and on. They know it all and will be happy to inform you that you are nothing and no one. And to think otherwise is a serious form of pride that will be difficult for any Priest to forgive in confession. Come to think of it, they aren't a good audience for anyone. Nevermind. :)
Ok, miss I wear my jeans when riding my harley. Tell me all about worm spit. Actually I want to thank you for clarifying that for me. By the way, I wear pants even if I am not on a harley, or in a tornado. I am completely incorrigable. Would you please, in your charity, tell me how that works. The whole pants thing. Tell me why I can't wear pants. Oh my sweet Dymph, just giving you a hard time. And you with your migraine. I should be ashamed of myself.
I imagine men and women from days long past us could advise us best on the matter, but they're all gone sadly. :-[

Sorry. Didn't work. I guess I'm immune to it now. :P
Maybe you have some other means...?
Lips. Omgosh, just the name, let alone the description of recent behavior is hysterical. I'm offering a prayer to St. Martin de Porres, Dymphna, for their recovery.
CD, our little worm spit (?! :crazy:), all tucked into bed by now.... sweet dreams!
Confession: I've joined your incorrigible ranks. I used to be maniacal about pants. No, really. I'm very OCD about things, so my scrupulosity gets a stranglehold.
But over the past year, suddenly a lot of my crazy OCDishness has melted away (Deo gratias) and I'm much more calm and practical. To whit, re: pants
1. I can't swim in a dress, so I wear a tech suit which is pretty much a thin material scuba suit (long leg). It's my compromise for modesty, but allowing me to exercise, train and hopefully compete again.
2. I've also found it very difficult to fence in a skirt. Maybe when I've mastered the art, but right now I'll kill someone if I have a real blade (I use saber) and my legs are caught up in skirting on attack or even riposte <sarc> You get the point... get it? hehe
3. My outdoor duties aren't nearly as grungy and hard as yours, CD, but I do help sweetheart with some gardening and easier yard work, and I work with animal rescues (we have a dedicated area for rehab). Between that, and my fondness for climbing trees, it's practical at home to wear loose modest trousers. No one sees me.
Yes. I still like to climb trees. Just as I did as a girl. It's still fun.
Church, social, shopping, no problem, always in a dress. I find them comfortable and I like to feel elegant and feminine. But not in a tree with a tuna sandwich.

Lips. Omgosh, just the name, let alone the description of recent behavior is hysterical. I'm offering a prayer to St. Martin de Porres, Dymphna, for their recovery.
CD, our little worm spit (?! :crazy:), all tucked into bed by now.... sweet dreams!
Confession: I've joined your incorrigible ranks. I used to be maniacal about pants. No, really. I'm very OCD about things, so my scrupulosity gets a stranglehold.
But over the past year, suddenly a lot of my crazy OCDishness has melted away (Deo gratias) and I'm much more calm and practical. To whit, re: pants
1. I can't swim in a dress, so I wear a tech suit which is pretty much a thin material scuba suit (long leg). It's my compromise for modesty, but allowing me to exercise, train and hopefully compete again.
2. I've also found it very difficult to fence in a skirt. Maybe when I've mastered the art, but right now I'll kill someone if I have a real blade (I use saber) and my legs are caught up in skirting on attack or even riposte <sarc> You get the point... get it? hehe

Now don't be shocked
*, but I wear pants too. I don't even garden, fence, ride a harley, or get anywhere near tornadoes. I'm definitely not OCD about that, and obviously not scrupulous! The most I've done is wear a skirt when getting together with ladies who always do (and at church and church functions, of course).
* If you were shocked, it's because you don't know me very well!
Non! Say it ain't so!! You actually wear :skeptical: p..p..pants! Just for the sake of wearing them?! :leaving: And PerE, and Carleen, and Keph!! My Oh My!!

I'm kidding! Maybe this is inappropriate. I can't decide. I'll go ahead and post it, and if you all object, I'll take it down. How's that for a compromise?
As far as Lips goes, you should see him. I wish I could get a good picture of him. He's about 7 inches long and has a big round mouth that he uses to clean the algae from the tank. He hangs on the glass with them, cleaning it, and that big ol' mouth just goes to town. It just cracks me up. Pleco's like to remain hidden during the day and then come out at night to do their job. He was too big for the castle I had in the tank before, so he would swim behind one of the plastic bushes when I approached the tank, acting like that bush hid him. It was sad yet funny. Now I've got a hollow plastic log he can fit in. He has a thing about leaving his tail out, but that's alright. I figure it's kind of like some people leaving 1 foot out from under the covers so they don't get too hot. He just leaves his tail out instead of a foot. :laugh:
I'm so glad you are losing some of your OCD ways, PerE. It makes life a little more bearable. Someday we'll all get together and you can climb a tree (I'll stand there shocked and amazed and a wee bit jealous) and Carleen and I can dance in the rain. Keph can give ServusMariae the official SD sledgehammer. And Non will show us all how to wear our pants fashionably. It will be a pip!

Well, either the video is inappropriate, or my uproarious laughter when I heard it. I wouldn't have laughed not so long ago, truly believing I was committing mortal sin by wearing pants at any time whatsoever, even to bed! and scared to death what others might say.

Dymphna, that bolded statement is a classic. Maybe it's so hilarious to me, 'cause I do that.
I love animal behavior and really enjoy these stories!
I'm so glad you are losing some of your OCD ways, PerE. It makes life a little more bearable.
Amen. You're so kind.
I was super stressed the year before and really hit a wall health wise. I just had to let go and just live in peace.

I have such a mental image of this... I'm so happy we are all SD neighbors at least!
Oh, and if I have to wear a dress when I climb that tree, I'll be sure to don my most modestest Sunday-go-to-meetin' bloomers. You'll be real jealous then.
Oh, and Non, I would never have guessed you wore pants. Or Dymphna. Or CD. Ya'll are such good Catholics and I just assumed I was the only trad who did this. I'm so relieved!
well, it's 1:32 am here in SG & I'm gonna go to bed now. Nitey nite, all :)
(P.S: I wear pants too, but mostly because my family couldn't afford so many skirts for me ... but when I head to church, 100% in a skirt.)

G-nite. Pants? you are in good company!
Opening early for Munda. Never know, she may get a chance to pop in! Servus is probably still sleeping. I imagine Kepha is feasting on Regina's warm brownies with vanilla ice cream. Or was that just virtual, Regina? Per is most likely just now running down a mountain. Dymph, is nursing her migraine, which is harder than she will admit. Heinrich is working on a hernia, lifting more weight than humanly possible. Pon is definitely waxing profound on one forum or another. My friend Non is debating whether or not to take her evening walk. Now me..... I am thinking about finishing a beer and eating some most natural, most healthy, neopolitan ice cream :) Lydia and Lynne are shaking their head, "No, Carleen,....don't eat the ice cream!" as I spoon it into my mouth, relishing every bite.
Not virtual, but not baked yet either. I only just got back from the market with the ingredients, plus some Fall decorations for our front porch - mums and pumpkins and a straw bale. It's way too early for me to go to bed.

What time is it there, Regina?
I'm OK with few chiming in at go to bed. We all should be relaxing, garnering strength for tomorrow! So really, I'd rather all relax and absorb some peace and quiet. I know it helps me, relaxing, helps me to reset and face tomorrow's challenges. So I pray everyone has a peaceful night, reparative sleep and sweet dreams, maybe even holy dreams, which I never seem to have. Meaningful dreams? Oh no, only the kind that emphasize my daily frustrations, my fallen nature, my helplessness, and the aversion others may have towards me and my unsophisticated relating with them. I am grateful for the friendships I share...apart from my dreams. Otherwise, I would be quite dismayed, and as in my dreams, totally humiliated. God, please bless my Sucipe friends.
I think your prayer has been granted, Miss Carleen. He has blessed us with each other. He knew there was a need since the destruction of the visible Church left most of us without Traditionally minded Catholic neighborhoods and friends. The need arises and our good God provides a competent replacement.
I pray you have sweet dreams if you must have dreams. Hopefully mine will be non-memorable.

p..p..pants was just me stuttering while I looked over my shoulder to see who would hear me saying THAT dreaded "p" word. You never know who might be listening.
I know what you mean about worrying so much about what others might think about it. My Guardian Angel helped me realize that I'm the one who will be facing God when I die. The people I was worried about won't be in attendance to yay or nay my life choices. In my mind, the Church always makes sense. The way we interpret it might not, but in reality, it just does. So my thought process went into the fact that Our Lady didn't wear a burka. She, in fact, dressed modestly in the clothes of the times. What a concept! We have got to get rid of the extreme thinking that seems to permeate all of Traddom. This is as good a place to begin with, as any. :thumbsup:
Most Modestest Bloomers - the greatest modesty saving article of clothing that ever existed. You are correct, I am jealous! Well, as long as they aren't purple with red polka cots. ;)
God has accounted every hair on our heads (or lack thereof, I don't want to be a baldist :P ) and intimately knows the struggles we all live with each day. I could be wrong but I somehow don't see wearing :skeptical: /the "p" word at specific times (like gardening or riding a Harley) as being too extreme. Maybe it's just me. :shrug: Rest easy, my friend. We have bigger fish to fry. :)
Good morning all! I'm officially awake. ^_^

Well, my fam & I didn't really had a choice ... I used to be raised almost like a boy due to poverty ... for some reasons unknown boys' clothes were alot cheaper than girls' clothes, & it continues to be like that up to this day & age. My currrent wardrobe consists of 3 long skirts (which I rotate whenever I go to church/school/formal events) & 4-5 pants.
The cost of 1 skirt = alot of essential things.

It's off to bed for me very soon. It is nice to have your and Dymphna's company at this time of (my) night, even if just for a short while.
Good morning and good night to all SD members throughout the world - have a good whatever-part-of- the-day it is for you!
Going to bed early. For all the not sleeping I did last nite I managed to develop a colossal bedhead. Open. I have 2 hours before I even think of putting my head down. Tell me something I don't know.....shouldn't be too tough ;)
Dymph, tell me about your day. You know all about mine, it's only fair. So did you pretend to eat some soup?
It is going on ten. I will be ready by ten. Doesn't mean I'll be in bed by ten. But I'll be heading in that direction with my sore head.
I am mush. I am not strong and have no soap box tonight. Just a wilting Lilly. You could push me down with a feather tonight. Hopefully I sleep so I will be up for tomorrow. Won't matter much, I will make the trip out to see my daughter and baby regardless. But I do hope for a decent sleep. Took benadryl. Maybe not best, but effective for me. Desperate measures and all that.
Home now! Open, now. Yes, my new grandad her is the cutest in the world. I saw it with my own eyes, so it must be true... ;) Had the best visit with the best baby and best mother :)
I'm just getting home too, but not from anything as nice as visiting a new baby. :)
Trying to find something for dinner now...

Did she like the blanket and beenie babies?

She loved them, but even more, she loved seeing pappa, laying on floor enraptured by her cutest baby in the world!
That's awesome! I had an Uncle (+RIP+ Uncle Duane) who was very stern. Always a sour puss in pictures. I sent him and his wife a Christmas Card as usual, and got one back. After talking to his wife on Facebook, she sent a picture with this card. It was a picture of Uncle Duane on the floor playing with this Step-Daugther, having a ball. You could see on his face that he loved every minute of it. He was SMILING! It was hard to believe, but there it was. Proof in the pudding or proof in the picture as it was. I sure hope you all get to spend more time with them. I'm sure they loved it as much as you all did. :)
Home and happy now. Was a beautiful Mass and reception! Just happy to be in my Jammies and in go to bed.
welcome back, dear Carleen! wow, it's morning here in SG now ... did the Mass + reception you attended was that long??! How did you sit through the entire night all the way until the wee hours of morning?! :lol:
oh wait, you're in the US. whoops.
Yes it was so long, I just prayed my little heart out, all night and I am exhausted, Servus. Good thing I had lots of cake to keep my sugar level up, lol. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I gotta say, Carleen - if you were in Singapore, you will find that you won't be able to gobble that much sugar. The government here wants peeps to eat stuff in moderation & stay healthy :lol:
Actually, the campaign has been ongoing to get people to eat better. Seriously, in my house, a bag of sugar lasts a whole year. I only bake sweets for holidays. We do not eat dessert. We eat very healthy.
So, where is Dymph? Bird, Ches? Where are they? I am sad about my missing posters. Non, Munda? All gone? All busy? All sleeping?

Open. Yes, ready for your comments. Will ban if needed, will hug if needed, will give drink to the thirsty, food for the hungry, counsel to the doubtful, encourage the downhearted, and bandage boo-boos.
Chamomile, peanut butter granola bar, and Little Dorrit via Librivox. :grin:
Ok, so how about coming here and tap into the charity and kindness offered above. Really, it's cheaper than any clinic, healthier than wallowing in negativity or self pity. I will lift you up and out of your quagmire. Whatever ia quagmire s. I are here for you. PayPal is not acceptible. Plus, charges are simply donations, not charges. I take ice cream in lieu of money.
I love p. Butter granola bars.
Ok. So maybe I'm a worry wart, but Dymph, you must pray for her. She can barely type out a coherent sentence. That's not like her, even with a migraine. :(

I'll take a little of all of the above, because I am a little of all of the above. I am busy, but not with sleeping. Something about this school year is just insanely busy! Our family dynamics are shifting. We have commitment, after commitment, after commitment, and we aren't even all that involved with extra-curriculars! I'll have a teen in the house in less than two weeks ( :-X :shrug: :madsmiley: :ack: :eek: :hide:), which means I've got baby, toddler, pre-school, middle-school, grade school...it's kind of surreal. All of a sudden, I'm well into the second decade of parenting and in the thick of things, and life is moving at break neck speed. I want to soak up and enjoy every moment with every kid, but I don't know who to turn to next. I just don't even know. It's not that any of this is bad. It's all good changes, and I'm embracing it and finding joy in this chaos (I think??). But...it's so new and unchartered territory for me. I don't know what to do with it all. I worry I'm screwing everything up. I don't want to fail anyone, but I don't feel like I can really succeed with everyone, either.
So, there you go, Carleen! That's my gotobed in a nutshell ;)

Me too because my fear is waking up at 3 and not being able to fall into a good sleep after that! That is just not acceptable. I want to sleep at least until 6:30. Is that too much to ask for? No, I say. No one should be awake before 6:30, unless work requires it.
Well, not that I'd want you to get hurt, CD, but Servus has the sledgehammer. She must be awake now. ;D
I'd like wakingup at 6:30 too. Even at 5 ot 5:30. In middle school years, I used to wake up at 5:30.

No sledgehammer needed. I use benadryl for a seep aid. I guess that is my very gentle sledgehammer.
Anyone who tries to wake me up before 7 is getting the sledgehammer. Did I say 7? Make that 10.

Warning heeded! Almost time to go for my walk (for which you have made me famous, sort of). I have to be careful, I've needed to use a flashlight because I start too late. And now Daylight Saving Time will soon be over (when? - oh Google says Nov. 5), and I'll really be in the dark!
Praying for Dymphna...
Thank you Non. Now I know what day for the time change. And Dymphna, I know appreciates your prayers. Now get it done, Non. Hup 2, 3, 4!
Wow, it's so quiet around here, you could hear the proverbial pin drop!
Talking to myself here. Non is out walking, Per is swordfighting, Munda is putting the Littles to bed, Dymph is out of comission, Kepha is sorting out what he is learning in the Singles Forum, Martin has not been well, Heirich, as usual ignores us, Pons is lurking, but not commenting, Kaese just let's us go our way, Ches is a bit on the quiet side, Servus is eating breakfast, Lynne is just out and about, Regina is baking dessert. And me? I am sipping some wine to put me to sleep, along with my benadryl. Works for me, but not yet, still too soon.
Oh, and don't worry about benadryl and 8 oz of wine. That's not enough to do me harm. See.....I'm still here! I'm sure, much to the chagrin of Heinrich and probably others! Not everyone loves my constant prattle!

Don't hold your breath, Kepha! I think we may have to fend for ourselves.
Kepha, I have some cake you can have. Chocolate cake. Vanilla cake. Your choice.
Chocolate please!
Okie-dokie. Chocolate is a great decision. One large piece coming up! Enjoy!
Thank you! Gulp!
Kepha, maybe some nice quality dark chocolate, at least 75%. You do not need to bake it. Just buy us some. We can not always supply baked goods!
Open now. Come on in. Just don't challenge me to a debate. I am exhausted defending Fatima. Somehow the apparition went south. I am so totally disoriented about something that has been near and dear to my heart.
God's ways are certainly mystrous. We just have to keep our eyes on the Prize. He will never fail, no matter what we think we see. Love isn't always in a pretty pakage. Eyes on the Prize forls, that's the key. Sorry for vad spelling. I'm getting there though. Tahnks for the love and prayers from you all. You are never alone Miss Carleen. We have our Angels to be with us to help keep our eyes right. :pray3: :grouphug:
Yep, Dymph, our eyes on the prize! And that is all I want...that prize! Nothing more, nothing less. Please, God! Look at me, so pathetic and small, may I please be counted among the elect?
I got that 75% dark chocolate. And some 100% too! ;D

Yes, Dymph, God's ways ARE mysterious. He will never fail us, but we on the other hand fail Him daily. And yet, He is faithful to us, despite our wicked ways. We shrink from the suffering He sends us, so kindly to make up for our defects. We shrink from being the courageous militant Catholics He would like to see us be, but our ever patient, ever kind
God accepts us still. Not requiring a special courage, or even special efforts.I am so moved by this I could cry. But thinking about the nonsense I may cry over, that means so very little.

Kepha, 100 %?is impossible, unless you are offering pure powder, cocoa powder. But we cheerfully accept your offering of 75%. That is a wonderful thing to offer a room full of girls. Old girls and young girls alike!! Thank you! From all female chocolate lovers!
I've bought 100% before. It's very bitter. I ended up melting the rest of it and mixed it with sugar to make hot chocolate.
Hot Cocoa sounds good. I'll take one. It may help me sleep.Oh, you sweet man, kepha.
You do realize why we can't eat 100% right? It would end up beneath our noses . Just not option.
I l
Yes, it is now time to consider your night cap. Or tea, or decaf, though personally, decaf is yuck.
Thank you for praying I stay awake at adoration. I did. Though next time Also pray my focus is as it should be. :)
Hi, Lynne. :seeya: Hi, Obrien. :seeya:
Dear all....I am heading to my bed. Last night I was up until about 1:30. Not good. Won't do that again tonight. Stupid. Very. Tonight I am surely disposed to a short night. Late nights do nothing for my next day, other than make them longer and more painful. Besides, I am simply tired. Finally I no longer taste Pinesol. Mary's Garden knows what I'm talking about.

The 100% I had was a bar though. It probably referred to just not having sugar.

Oh! It may, don't know this, but it may have been baking chocolate!
Yes, bedtime thread open!
A few offerings to please the alchies, tea for the non-alchies, cake eaters. So....we drinkers avoid cookies and cakes. We are so twisted, right? Really, think about it, we will damage our livers before raising our sugar levels. Wow. Actually, we don't look to do harm, but neither do the tea and cocoa drinkers wish to raise their sugar levels. 6 of one and half dozen of another. Right? Wrong? Tell me. I am confused. 'Splain this.
It's almost 9. I can go to bed in one hour. And probably will. Why stay up longer? I am weary and spent. My day was used to prepare the small house for visitors. They are bringing two dogs which Logan will love playing with. Logan shares his space, his bones, and his toys. He is not posseive at all. You can take meat out of his mouth if you want, food from his dish. He's like, oh yeah, play with me and I will share all that is dear to me. My dog really should have a special place in paradise, I think. If I see him there, God willing, I will not be surprised. Really, my dog is more virtuous than I. Just try and steal my cup of soft serve choc-vanilla ice cream. I may bite you.
Enough about my dog. I could go on, but wont. Y'all are probably bored of him. I'm not, but you may be. Ok. So. How about we talk about Fatima. Such a controversial topic, huh? Well, not to me. It's so simple really. She came, she spoke, they conveyed. How these little ones made up such a preposterous story, I have NO idea. They were not so sophisticated as to make this up.
People have brought up the fact that Lucia was a talented story teller. Well, who doesn't have a friend that could tell a good story? I know I did, but at ten years of age, I know of no child savvy enough to pull this deception off. Not a one. These little ones spoke messages about things they truly did not comprehend. Do you know of a child 7,8, or even 10 that even understands what sins of the flesh even are? I know not one who could make that up! The words came from outside their realm of experience. Our Lady chose the most innocent to pervey the messages. Why? Because there is no way in the world these children could make them up! Heck, they thought Russia was a nasty woman!
I love hearing about Logan. I think you may be onto something with the thought that we should be more like him.
Fatima, just a couple of things; I believe. I don't care if you don't. If you are interested at all, talk to someone who believes that is articulate enough to express it well (in other words, not me). I've heard and read many, many disbelieving viewpoints. None have been able to explain why God would allow His Mother to be known all over the world, for so long, as a lie. It doesn't make sense. Perhaps since the "proof" of the Shroud of Turin keeps going back and forth, we should quit believing in the Resurrection. Again, I don't care if you don't believe. I still believe Our Lady appeared to the 3 sainted children. Just like I believe Our Lady appeared in Lourdes. You don't go to hell if you believe or if you don't. My only thought is that it sucks to be you if you don't.
Now, back to Home on the Range with Logan... :)

This^^^^^ is why I love you Dymph. You like my dog! No its because you believe OLF. I am sick at heart over the naysayers. Our Lady of Fatima has turned us into fervent Catholics. I need no apparition to convince me. Truly, I do not. But, that being said, I can not deny how She has given us such fervor and conviction. She has been quite convincing to us, at that time, somewhat ignorant and uneducated Catholics.

I did my Total Consecration before a statue of Our Lady of Fatima on 1 Christmas morning some years back. Trust me, she has granted alot of graces to this ignorant, never-gone-to-university, peasant soul. Oh, to think She even preserved my faith after I miserably came out of the LGBT club. Magnificat anima mea Dominum!
Choir practicing. Work done. Rosaries said. Now it is time to stretch out and suck up the peace and enjoy no stress about anything. I do enjoy this time of the night. Hope everyone is relaxing and winding down!
10:25 and all is well. Winding down here. People are leaving and it's good to just relax. Get ready for sleep! How I love sleep.

Preach it Sista'! I wonder why God didn't make us sleep until something is needed from us? IOW, why can't sleep be our default? Too much to be done during this time as well. *sigh

This is the bed head thread. Is it ever too early to work on your bed head? Actually we do much more here than talk about sleep. People come in, go to the virtual bar and mix virtually any kind of drink they prefer. There is coffee, hot cocoa and tea, too. See, it's a night time social gathering. There has even been known to be sleepovers. Not mixed company of course! The stories people tell after a couple wee drinks are unbelievable, literally.
Welcome Lumen! If Servus, weren't sleeping she'd throw confetti.
So, pick your poison. You name it. We've got it! Plus counseling if need be! :)

I also don't know of any child who would defend an actual deception to the point of being potentially boiled in oil, as all three children were threatened with.

Thank you Dymph, and Lumen too. I am heart sick over those that doubt the veracity of Fatima. Doubt was created by even a few princes of the church. Those few have spoiled the trust many might have in this apparition. I am ashamed of my contemporaries that believe little Francisco and little Jacinta would in their childlike minds choose to be boiled in oil rather than deny our Lady's visitation.

Have you read the book Vision of Fatima by Fr. Thomas McGlynn? He spoke with Sr. Lucia and sculpted an enormous statue to her specifications, the way she saw Our Lady. There's some very interesting information in there.
Thank you, Lumen. I have to say I have not read that. I do know that there was NO image of our Lady that was truly satisfying. But... that said, neither was Bernadette of Lourdes, never satisfied, that is. I don't think anyone could be satisfied by an earthly representation of "Man's solitary boast".

I would imagine that after you see the "real deal," no representation suffices. I agree. Sr. Lucia was pleased with the end result of the statue, though.
Ok. So. Logan watched the menonites that work the field, soybean field, next to our property. The menonite women came to the field their men are working, and brought a big table filled with lunch and desserts. I was so pleased to see he did not feel the need to beg at their table. He is so very Catholic that he does not beg from menonites. Yes, I am very proud of him.

Exciting (not) history of the last hour or two, while this post remained open...
Car not starting again tonight - with new battery I just had installed by AAA 2 weeks ago. "click-click-click-clickety-click" it says. So AAA is coming again. I don't drive much, so perhaps new battery hadn't warmed up enough... (???). I last drove Thurs. and it was OK then.
Sitting here again waiting for a call...
OK finally AAA guy got here, and got lost in the parking area... finally looked at the car said the problem was that the little light on the rear view window was on and drained the battery. Maybe it was the final straw for the old battery too. Such a little light. There's a pretty bright light shining into my car from the roof of my covered parking space. I think it makes little lights less obvious.
AAA jumped the battery and said I had to drive 20 min on the freeway to get the battery fully charged again. Drive... drive... drive. OK, I'm back.

I'll have a fuzzy navel thank you "a mixed drink made from peach schnapps and orange juice". My aunt used to make them (or did I just have them with her?), so they always remind me of her (RIP, years ago). I've rarely had them, but remember they are yummy.
Counseling... well maybe not yet for such a small problem as a dead battery and a little driving going nowhere! But I'll definitely take up your offer another time.

Goodnight, Servus! :)
Sadly I missed Mass today :( :'(. I got to church and didn't have my regular glasses, but only my sunglasses. You would think I would be brave enough to drive carefully in the dark/ dusk with sunglasses on. (My Mass is at 4PM, just early and late enough so this is an issue). But my old eyes have been having real problems with night driving lately. I got into a really serious situation driving lately, because lights blinded me; I didn't get into an accident but it was scarily close. I am still driving (when I really have to) but with a lot more care. Sunglasses would have helped in that case, but they also cut light when I need it. So I figured the right thing to do at church was to go back home before Mass, while it was still light, after turning my purse inside out looking for the glasses. (They were on my table at home).
So it's time to read the missal and make a spiritual Communion... (Maybe a walk first, so I'm not walking in the dark :) . I do that, with a flashlight, but it probably isn't the best idea )
Non, are you familiar with this website? livemass.net
You could follow along with the TLM there and make a spiritual communion! :) God bless the FSSP.
I went to bed with damp hair (I've been letting it air dry as of late) and I may have given myself a cold...my eyes feel weird and I've been all sniffly/sneezy today.
Oops.
Good evening, everyone...
Good evening! How are you?
Good evening Bed Heads!! How's everyone? Here's your Fuzzy Navel, Non. Love those things. Let's see if one goes with coconut cake, shall we?
Anyone hear from Carleen today? Haven't heard from PerE in a while either. Too many MIAs. Going to have to start a search party soon.
Good evening all! (Albeit it's a beautiful morning here haha)
Where did everyone go? ;D
I'm here now, but soon going to bed, Dymph! It has been a long day, celebrating many Oct. B-days. It was a pleasant day, but eye looking very bad. It will heal, I trust. So nice to have someone wondering where I am! :grouphug:

Oh, sweet Non, I am sorry you had such a crazy Sunday.but really, the right glasses matter. I hate it if I forget my reading glasses. I can not read the readings without them. I know how you feel. I guess you did the best you could under the circumstances, so yes, a spiritual communion. These things happen and all we have is the best we can do. And you did. Of course you feel bad, so would I but God knows you Non. He knows you do not miss Mass for lack of desire.
You are always charitable to me Non. Don't think I deserve it, but there you are, constantly attributing more virtue to me than I deserve. When kind people like you do this, I feel like I have purveyed a less than honest image of myself. I am a silly vain woman who like anyone else, happens to get a few things right. I just know we would get along in real life. Wanna come and stay with me in the little house? We can drink coffee, eat healthy snacks, ice cream and my homemade bread. Make fires, be quiet or chat about the Faith, go to bed whenever we want. You can help me water and feed the animals, and we can walk miles on our walking path around the property. How's that sound? Oh, please come to my house. And pick up Dymph, Per, Servus, Lumen C....Lynne, Munda, Orate, Lydia, Jaca....and anyone else who wants to come! Say yes, say yes, say yes..... :)

Sadly I missed Mass today :( :'(. I got to church and didn't have my regular glasses, but only my sunglasses. You would think I would be brave enough to drive carefully in the dark/ dusk with sunglasses on. (My Mass is at 4PM, just early and late enough so this is an issue). But my old eyes have been having real problems with night driving lately. I got into a really serious situation driving lately, because lights blinded me; I didn't get into an accident but it was scarily close. I am still driving (when I really have to) but with a lot more care. Sunglasses would have helped in that case, but they also cut light when I need it. So I figured the right thing to do at church was to go back home before Mass, while it was still light, after turning my purse inside out looking for the glasses. (They were on my table at home).
So it's time to read the missal and make a spiritual Communion... (Maybe a walk first, so I'm not walking in the dark :) . I do that, with a flashlight, but it probably isn't the best idea )
Oh, sweet Non, I am sorry you had such a crazy Sunday.but really, the right glasses matter. I hate it if I forget my reading glasses. I can not read the readings without them. I know how you feel. I guess you did the best you could under the circumstances, so yes, a spiritual communion. These things happen and all we have is the best we can do. And you did. Of course you feel bad, so would I but God knows you Non. He knows you do not miss Mass for lack of desire.
You are always charitable to me Non. Don't think I deserve it, but there you are, constantly attributing more virtue to me than I deserve. When kind people like you do this, I feel like I have purveyed a less than honest image of myself. I am a silly vain woman who like anyone else, happens to get a few things right. I just know we would get along in real life. Wanna come and stay with me in the little house? We can drink coffee, eat healthy snacks, ice cream and my homemade bread.

Certainly, I would love to stay in your little house and get to know everybody! :) I'm going to be the one who is most quiet, probably, but I'd love to listen and just say a bit now and then. (That's the way I was in school and still am).
I know you would be a marvelous hostess in real life, just as you are here.
We never know who is really virtuous (only God reads our hearts), but you SEEM more virtuous to me than I KNOW I am - e.g. by your fruits in life (ok, your "few things right"!), and my lack thereof. It is good that most people here do try not to be vain, and to look for the very best in others. As I said in another post, I think I filter myself when I post so I say better things, but I know it is PARTLY vanity. Honestly, a professor I had in college said I was quiet on purpose so that I would sound smarter in comparison when I spoke. I don't think he was joking, either; we were supposed to be talking (give and take) in our "seminar" style classes.
Another thing about me, is that I'm too analytical and serious sometimes, and think too much about myself :P. Here I am:

But wait, those aren't the glasses I was looking for! :confused:
OH, after all that heavy stuff I almost forgot to say :seeya: I would come too =) :) ;) :)
Good!! Then we are all set. Don't forget Munda.
Will be hitting the hay a bit earlier tonight. I,pray you all have sweet dreams, and a restorative, restful sleep. Truly.
Almost ready, but not quite. Working on my bedhead though. Should be good to go by morning..

That sounds lovely!
Non! I can't believe the picture of the cat you posted! We had one that would be the identical twin to this one. His name was "Honkey" (a black friend of ours named him :lol: ) and he preferred to sit up like this one is. He had his spot on the couch, but he would prop himself up against any wall and just sit there. It was hilarious!

Speaking of cute animals, my best friend is getting a puppy soon! It's a super adorable husky.
In related news, my dog needs surgery to get some glands removed. They've had some chronic issues. Funnily enough, it'll be on Halloween. If you all could spare some prayers for him, I would greatly appreciate it. He's 12 and so sweet. The surgery itself isn't dangerous as far as I know, but at his age, it does concern me that he's getting anesthetized.
Yep, we certainly are open now! Bar is open. We have some new beer steins you may want to trymout. And some lovely tea cups donated by anonymous. We need to put these lovelies to work for us!
No way LC. Cat people do NOT pray for dogs. Next thing you know, we'll be asked to pray for bearded dragons and birds. :pigeons: :wag: On the other hand, cats are usually Catholic and St Anthony took care of all animals that presented themselves in his path...
Just kidding!! Of course I'll pray for your dog! Poor thing. That's a heck of an age to have to have surgery. Hope all goes well.
Speaking of beer steins Carleen, my Dad had a really nice collection of them. There was a bar in the den of our house in Tulsa that had several shelves on the wall behind it that he put them on. When he was home he would always call one of us girls in so we could pick out which one he would use that evening. Cleaning them was always a joy rather than a chore. Funny how that works. :cheeseheadbeer:

I'll have some peppermint tea, please! :)
Thank you, dymphna! Thankfully he's in pretty good health for his age...the only real issue with the surgery that I'm aware of is that it may affect his heart murmur. They'll run tests on him before surgery to make sure he'll be all right, though.
Hip yourself Lumen. Just ran some water through the coffee maker. Go for it. In the meantime I will enjoy my glass of merlot. Are you of drinking age?
Not to make any particular point, but, how many years between you and your beau? Hubby and I are 11 years apart and that worked for us, probably because I was very docile, like you, and not truly set in my ways.

Thank you! *pours some tea into a mug* Yes, although I don't drink very often. I did have a really nice mixed drink at an Irish pub last month, though. It was a cider that tasted like an apple pie.
We're five years apart. He's going to be visiting me and my family as soon as he gets passports in order for himself and his daughter. My nana is really excited to meet him. She's going to be making him a dinner.
Sweet, Lumen....just keep your BS meter on high. I mesn, it will be the first time you meet! Not that you expect BS, but you do want to pick it up, if there is any present! :grouphug: :pray3:
Open! *she holds the door open* .....the cat enters with Logan right behind her. Logan had a couple girl dogs stay here for a night and 2 days. As often as we let him out he runs to where they urinated and just remembers the sweetness of his new girlfriends. I'm sure he is not recalling their snarls and warning nips at all. They were both fixed, but they were...you know.....GIRLS! To him, their snarly reactions to his advances was simply coy and cute. Their nips to him were high spirited and adorable modesty. Oh how he loved them. He's just now quit drooling at the mere thought of them and their sweet fading scent. I thought he would cry when it rained subduing their sensual scent peppering our property.
I'm coming, I'm coming. Don't slam the door yet. Whew! Made it to the go to bed thread! Yay! Getting through that door is so much easier since my halo started falling off. Logan is such a renaissance dog. He wears his heart on his fur, doesn't play mind games, always lets you know exactly what he wants right up front. :swoon:

Glad you made it into the thread. Not only to have your lovely self, (Yes I missed you.) But your humor and quick wit, too! Also, so you can participate in a new sleep study done for Beauticians of America. Study is called..."The Making of a Bedhead" . This will run in next Sundays paper. We are looking for participants to volunteer for this most essential study. Not only participate, but be willing to do interviews, with no modification to the natural progression, during the four day study, of your bedhead and the end result after 4 nites.
The control group has used NO hair products.
No dogs in bed. We do not want your drool pool contaminated by additional drool. I'm sure you understand. You must sign, truthfully, under penalty of death, there was no animal in bed with you.
Let me know as soon as possible....the demand from Beauticians of America can't be put off. This could influence and impact the world, society, terrorism, and the world market. We chose you for your beauty, bad sleep habits and other factors we won't mention. Please respond quickly. It's a simple easy request.
:seeya: I'm here, too. I'm indulging in the peace and quiet this evening! I might regret it in the morning, but I could surely use an hour or so to just relax and unwind, and I haven't had much time to visit with y'all lately, and I miss it =)
So, we have a new cat. Or, I think we do. He seems to have adopted us, and the kids already named him (Bagheera, ala Jungle Book) He is young; just past kitten stage. Super sweet and friendly. I like him. Our current cat is....coming to terms with him being around ;) He's dark, with lighter stripes. Son looked him up in the encyclopedia, and thinks he is an American short hair, which I agree. He does look like one, based on the pictures.
Oh, hsppy day, a new kitty. Kids must be rejoicing! If I were still a kid, I would be. So, he wandered in. Well, Bagheera is a perfectly proper name. Just make sure he doesn't get a big head with such a noble name!
the kids adore him! he is loving it. The baby is the most excited. She tried to lick him earlier today :ack: She gets SO excited when the cats let her get near them. They usually don't, because, well, she's a baby ;D. The other cat, Brigitta, is kind of jealous of Bagheera, though. Meh...she'll have to get over it. She's still queen of the farm.
Yes, I think I will...go to bed that is. G-nite all. Sweet dreams. Just let it all go and sleep. Besides, you're tired. I know this. How? Because I am tired. If I am, you must be.

Is it too late to sign up for the beautification study? I just now saw this. :( By saying you can't use hair products, does that include shampoo and conditioner? How much would it pay? What kind of doctor is running it? Can I bring a friend and my own pillow and blanket? Just to be clear here - this is a
non-legitimate study for people who don't sleep well. What is their claim to fame ratio? I'd like to talk to someone that has gone through the process. Will Debbie be picking me up to bring me there? If so, she'll want to bring a truck. I've got alot of stuff to bring, even if it's just for four days. Eeek! What am I possibly going to wear? Wait a minute! Hold on right there.... Are you asking us to change our way of thinking, but have to run this study with the permission from the insurance company? Will we have to pay for this study and any follow up appointments? Who do I contact about this? If I sign up will you get a finder's fee? :P ;)
Sweet dreams everyone!

My dear Dymph, you sure know how to complicate things. Take your questions to Beauticians of America. I am simply a facilitator. My job is to check you in. Check for tea cup animals. You'd be surprised by the number of people who try to slip in their tea cup sized animals. We've found lizards, birds...you can't imagine how much they drool when sleeping.... kittens, humming birds, and spiders. If you only say no dogs it seems people think...well its not a dog, so it must be allowed. Stupid. Very stupid. How can we know the impact on the bedhead, that lizard drool may have? See what I mean? Not to worry about insurance. The study picks up all bills related. Again you were chosen because of the height and circumference of your morning bed head. Not to mention your drool pool.
It's time for bed already? :-[
I think I need to be in that study to get my sleep patterns readjusted. ;D

Kepha, this is only a developmental study. The development of bedhead by the participants. Not truly a sleep study. But it must be done during sleep. The effect of a leaking mouth, on the development of bedhead. Could be misconstrued
as gross. Could be misunderstood by the less educated and less sophistiated, but upon the night long ×4 obsevation, the study will prove mouth leaking does indeed effect the bedhead. I hope you don't feel left out here, but in case you do....we have hot cocoa and coloring books in the snowflake room.
Well...let's just say it's getting close to considering which jammies you might wear. I may wear hubbies sleep pants. I might. But just because we have our jammies on doesn't mean we are going to bed and conkng out. I just love jammies.

My hubby is quite slim and his sleep pants are black and red check red wings pants. Too long but so comfy. I don't dip into his pants drawer, for pants, except to snag these sleep pants. It is cold and they are flannel. beats a light nightgown for now...until I get my own flannels.it just makes sense I wear his until I buy my own men's PJ flannels. Don'cha think.....? I mean, really, is this wierd?
It's 9:19pm over here. Not bedtime for me yet.

Me? Drool? Why, I'll have you know I have never drooled a day in my life. Ladies do not drool unless there is a hot guy in the room, and even then, it's a different kind of drool. And while we are at it, we never f*rt, P@@, or do any of those vulgar type things. Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I have been set upon by the vapors and need to lie down. :swoon1:
Oh, Dymph, do lie down I am horribly embarrassed to say, you will not do for our study. You have denied the obvious drool pool. Your name was given us by your hubby who obvious?y doesn't look at you while sleeping, if he did.....he would know you do not drool up a pool. Your drool pool is not. So therefòre, your sleeping has no relevance to our study. No drool pool, no drool pool effecting your bedhead. Simple as that.
drooling is no fun. i have a lot of issues with it because i cant swallow so they have to use the suction machine to get it out before it becomes drool which always triggers my PTSD when they use it

I know Ches, just the bit we have to put up with in the dentist chair is not pleasant. Plus, I used to take care of a kid with cerebral palsy and he would break out terribly from the acidity of his drool. Especially his cheeks from laying in bed. I always felt so bad about that. Add ptsd into the mix and a very difficult thing developed over something we just laugh about. Sorry Ches.
A nice relaxing evening to all. No more bedhead talk, no more silliness, no more crudeness. Turning over a new leaf. From now forth If I haven't something intelligent to say, I will say nothing......tonight. I mean this 8:00 hour. For now, I mean. Ok, I'll just try.
Munda? Non? Dymph? Christe? Kepha? Anyone up for a glass of wine and ampleasant, intelligent conversation? Anybody? Really, I won't talk about my dog, my eye, or my dog. You start......
what happened to your eye

I'd love a glass of wine!
Today my car started, which is a pretty big event for Saturday night, after having my battery dead or drained for 2 Saturdays in 3 weeks! I actually got to finish my shopping, and don't have to starve until Monday. I forgot the wine, though, so yours is most welcome.
Keep talking, Carleen, I love to listen, and behind the silliness I think there really is something that sure looks like intelligence to me, and a lot of love. And life would be pretty dull with no silliness or fun. Keep talking! I hope Dymphna and others join in soon too.
It's time for supper and the evening routine. I must feed my cat Pollyanna first, because I know she'll insist.
Not sure if I'll get back here or not. I have to watch myself or I'll get mesmerized on SD instead of doing what I really have to do!
Goodnight!
I'm wondering like Ches, how is your eye? Never mind your promise to not talk about that or other things - people want to hear! Oh, OK, I can stay a little longer - or I will come back when duties are done.

what happened to your eye
I got a terribly swollen black eye and bruises up and down my side. I haven't a clue how it happened or where. I presume I was outside. But I have no memory, at all. How this happened, where it happened. All I remember is being in my bedroom afterward, and hubby asking what the hell happened to me. I only knew I hurt, bad. Doc says it is probably amnesia and I may never know.

How this happened, where it happened. All I remember is being in my bedroom afterward, and hubby asking what the hell happened to me. I only knew I hurt, bad. Doc says it is probably amnesia and I may never know.
Have you had any new symptoms at all? Fingers crossed for a no!

Other than some facial pain NO! All seems well, my friend.
Hi Dymph. :seeya: Hi Spera, :seeya: Hi bird, :seeya: Hope you enjoy peppermint tea.

Deo gratias! I'm so glad. This evening we took the kids to a place outside of town that used to be a berry farm but now they have hayrack rides, a petting zoo, and a corn maze for all the big kids and a whole host of things for little ones. Here's a link to their photo gallery on their website: https://www.garysberries.com/gallery It's pretty cute.
Hi, everyone!
How is your eye treating you tonight, Carleen?

This reminds me of Bates Nut Farm out here, about an hour away from me (out in the "boonies"). Some ladies I know have a custom of driving there at least once a year in order to get all their nuts and supplies for Christmas baking. They have events where they have a lot of activities for the kids like those you mentioned: https://batesnutfarm.biz/ce-12867-the-2017-pumpkin-patch.html
They started in 1921; here's their history and more about them: https://batesnutfarm.biz/p-9221-about.html. And here's their gallery: https://batesnutfarm.biz/gallery.html
Good night!
Goodnight, Non!
Oh my goodness! I'm about to keel over from cuteness overload. Hubby's Protege asked Hubby to teach him how to shave! He MAYBE has some peach fuzz. So they went out yesterday and bought supplies and today the deed was done. It's adorable. Hubby got a couple of pictures to tease him with when he gets older. :lol: You all have shared in hearing bad stuff regarding him, so now you can hear about some of the sweet stuff too!
Go to bed, does not necessarily mean, go to bed. Thank you Dymph, for this very cute anecdote. Your little guy, it seems, wants to grow up! He has such a good mentor in your dear hubby. Really. Hubby going out and purchasing this young man's shaving starter kit, is like a passage. He has entered a new realm, and hubby made it more than a joke, but a serious event. Oh, yes, he may truly be too young to shave, but thank God, that is all he wanted. This passage into the next stage of life is often marked by less than cute interests.
It would be nice not to have to shave. Too many knick injuries. Also, it would be nice to save money by not having to buy shaving products. One time I did really try to grow out a beard, but I didn't care to have anymore later on.

A good pillow fight is wonderful fun. There is a big difference between a pillow fight and just using a sledgehammer on someone. It only takes one to use the sledgehammer. You do not need to agree to it. Pillow fights have to have two participants. A pillow fight is a good laugh. But she has to want to participate.
I thought it might cheer her up. :D

It just may, Kepha, yes it may do just that. Good thinking!
It's interesting that you bring up other interests, Carleen. I'm assuming that you are talking about girls. This is all somewhat new to me. I just happened to notice last night that whenever we would come across any pretty girls, he would pull his hood off and flip his hair to the side. Then when we would get by them, the hood would come back up. I was cracking up but Hubby didn't notice it.
But you are right, Carleen, this was treated as a serious event in his life. It made me kind of sad for his Dad. This was yet another event in this boy's life that he has missed. He will have few memories to comfort him in his old age.
Instead it gave Hubby one. He's got quite a few now. I really can't wait to see what the Protege will do with his life. It holds so much promise but could easily go either way.
Oh! I was going to ask, and I hope I'm not out of line with this, but is there anything that you do for boys when an event happens, thus bringing them into 'manhood' for lack of a better term. I know for girls, she is given a bouquet of flowers and a special dinner is made when her 'special moment' happens. If this is too personal, I understand. But if there is something that should happen that isn't, I'd like to take care of it. :)

Nope, I do believe your hubby covered that special occassion. I do not think there is anything beyond this for boys. Maybe there should be, but I know of none. Your hubby did exactly what was needed. Good hubby, good mentor.
Hi, Dymph , hope you sleep tònight, my sweet friend!

Going into go to bed territory. Could some one please have a pillow fight with Kepha. I think he was disappointed, when he received no takers. Please, out of charity, please engage in some pillow fighting.
We don't use pillows in Iceland, we rest our heads on raw slabs of meat and the entrails of our enemies. So yeah sure, I'd be up for the challenge.

Serviam s just trying to gross us out, Non. My response should have been...bring it on! Besides, it was Kepha who wanted a pillow fight! Not us. We can let Kepha deal with the rules of engagement!
I'll fight him, but I get to use the cement pillow I use at the rallies. :grin: 8)
Dymph, you stay out of this one, please. Kepha, he picked the fight. It's his. But I think he was just thinking of the ordinary pillow fight. Not one of meat and entrails. Don't want to see you caught up in this bad boy fight. Cement would surely be bad boy, compared to meat an entrails, but it is what it is. Kepha, has not weighed in on this. I have no idea where he stands but me thinks cement may be over the top for our pillow warrior. He may be grossed out by meat and entrails, but would go for that rather than cement. What say you? Kepha, what say you? You matter, greater than I or Dymphna! Kepha, where are you? Serviam? You started this most gross chapter of the begnine pillow fight.
WAIT A MINUTE, RABBIT!!!!!!! Was this for Servus'a benefit or yours Kepha, Serviam? I am confused. Help me out here, if you don't mind. I thought this was about cheering up Servus? What IS this all about? I know not.

Thank you Kepha. I am seeing it now, almost. But Servus must be at least somewhat happy. Serviam has not weighed in on this. He was the one throwing the curve ball. He and Dymphna. But I agree. You are safer going with Serviam's offering. Yes I would think it would take real minutes to respond after a cement hit. Dymphna, surely you jest. Of course if the joust weapon is cement, it would take but one hit. That is not a pillow fight. That is knock out material. Certainly not kosher in a pillow fight.

Hehe. Not quite. :)
Sadly, the pains began to stop in the afternoon (they came and went throughout the morning and such), a couple of hours after Mass. :( I get a ride there with my mom and she wasn't feeling up to it either. She had a tooth pulled after an abscess and the tooth didn't come clean (it broke in three places or so), so the swelling and other side effects have lasted longer. I stood up to see if my aching was any better and I got a couple of "warning strikes" (they were pretty relentless earlier in the morning), so I laid back down. I don't like missing Mass, even though I always have a good reason for doing so. It always feels strange.
...
*tosses more pillows while everyone is occupied by my story* ;)
Servus, congrats on your pending graduation! *throws confetti even though that's usually your thing!*
Ok, Servus, I get it now. That is like getting a certificate here, in a specific field. It is training, just not a degree. Thank you for clarifying. I was curious, though never would think less of anyone for NOT perusing a university degree. I have no credentials what so ever. Unless M. O. M. counts. :)

I didn't pursue college or university, and I don't think I missed out on much. So many of them seem to have been turned into giant daycare facilities for tantrum-throwing students.
Yes we are open for buxiness. We are mixing some fine drinks for those interested and some soft drinks, such as cocoa, decaf, and beverages of the like. Come, something for everyone!
How about candy? It's Halloween! Happy Halloween to everyone! :D
I'm supposed to have some tacos soon with garlic with the meat to keep the vampires away. ;D
Kepha, candy is for kids. Adults indulge in adult beverages or maybe a popcorn ball or something like that. Not saying all adult beverages are alcoholic. There is tea, coffee and such. Says the mom who loves Reese butter cups and pbutter M&M's. :lol:

This is true, Ches. Maybe we should have a special way of celebrating. As far as a moment of passage for teens, boy and girl, I always viewed confirmation as the moment of passing from girl to young lady and for boys, passing into young man territory. So this rite of passage does little to celebrate boy graduating to young man, because it includes the girls, correct?
We survived Halloween! My son's blood sugar is only slightly high and that's ok because he's off to bed. He tried a milky way bar for the first time and he hasn't tried a reeses peanut butter cup yet but he kept 10 pieces of candy and the rest go to the homeless shelter.
The baby also got to try chocolate for the first time he is 14 months
I am staying at my moms houseshe is taking care of me all week she rented a hospital bed in the living room i havent been home for Halloween in years. i grew up in this house is weird sleeping in the living room. They must have had hundreds of trick or treaters my mom went through a few Costco bags of candy. Lots of kids who come from neighbprgoods that aren't safe or people who like the decorations

I already had my alcohol last night. I had a glass of cheap Cul-de-sac red cabernet sauvignon wine. I'm still getting over its effects. :cheeseheadbeer:
My dog is ashamed to be dressed up for any festive occasion.
He had tiny boots put on him one year for Christmas, which he disliked.
Today, my mom tried putting a headband, bandana, and wig on him, which he either shook off or looked very embarrassed to be wearing.
What's funny is I took a picture of him with her phone, not realizing the flash was on, so he has spooky yellow eyes in it.

What did the boys dress up as? I'm afraid to say our little 11 month old has tried chocolate....well, more than just the one time :P We are becoming "those" parents who are lax with the later kids ;) My older ones are going to start complaining soon: "wait, what?! you NEVER let us do that!!!"
Carleen, I opened the thread....hope that's ok.
So, husband is working late tonight. Normally, Wednesdays are my night off. Last week it didn't work out, and this week didn't either. But...my kids totally came to the rescue! They said, "Mom, why don't you take your night off, anyway? Because, you deserve it!!" Really sweet, right?? They were scheming over which movie to watch about 5 minutes later ;) I don't really care if they have ulterior motives....I'm just glad to have a night off, and they are glad to have some freedom from Mom and Dad's watchful eyes :P

It's pretty amazing. When I was pregnant with number six, I kind of hit a wall, and husband and I both recognized a need for me to get some time alone, so I could recharge a bit and serve our family better. I read on a blog about a Mom of 9 who got a night off every week, so I ran the idea by Husband, and he agreed it would be in everyone's best interest. So, one night a week, he comes home a little earlier than usual. When he gets home, I'm completely "off duty". I usually go in my room, get in my pajamas, and just relax. I knit, quilt, watch a movie, take a bath.... just whatever I want. Sometimes I'll organize or declutter something I've been needing to. Or, I can leave the house by myself and do whatever. Sometimes, Husband kicks me out, because he sees I just need a change of scenery. Usually, that's when I call him at work, crying because I "just can't do this anymore! I'm failing at everything!". He says, "Yeah, why don't you go out for your night off this week?". ;)
We try to make it happen each week, but it doesn't always work out, which is fine. If we aimed for once a month, it would probably happen less often than that. On those nights, he also prepares dinner and tends to kids for the evening. I highly recommend it, if your husband is willing. It makes a huge difference. Honestly, we all benefit from it; not just me.
That is awesome, Munda! I hope you get your night off tonight. Enjoy it! :)

As you can see I opened go to bed at 4:11 because I knew I'd be gone until at least 7:30...but if you did not notice, probably no one else did either! Anyway, Munda, you are always welcome to open up if I forget or an not around. I trust you. You know the rules...no tracking in mud, make a mess, clean the mess. Oh a new rule ....if you have some, share it. Now, I realize that is a no brainer.
And when the party is over, Servus has to clean up her confetti, partiers have to do dishes, last one out turns off lights, except for the wee little my little pony lamp on the virtual end table. Check toilet before leaving to see if it still running. Having a bit of handle trouble. If need be, leave me a note if we are lacking things like toilet paper, beer, wine. You know. If you finish a bottle of vodka or tequila, I need to know. Plus, I've added a donation can right near the coffee maker. Oh, one other thing...set up the coffee maker for Good Morning. I can not be relied upon to get up early these days.

We survived Halloween! My son's blood sugar is only slightly high and that's ok because he's off to bed. He tried a milky way bar for the first time and he hasn't tried a reeses peanut butter cup yet but he kept 10 pieces of candy and the rest go to the homeless shelter.
The baby also got to try chocolate for the first time he is 14 months
I am staying at my moms houseshe is taking care of me all week she rented a hospital bed in the living room i havent been home for Halloween in years. i grew up in this house is weird sleeping in the living room. They must have had hundreds of trick or treaters my mom went through a few Costco bags of candy. Lots of kids who come from neighbprgoods that aren't safe or people who like the decorations
What did the boys dress up as? I'm afraid to say our little 11 month old has tried chocolate....well, more than just the one time :P We are becoming "those" parents who are lax with the later kids ;) My older ones are going to start complaining soon: "wait, what?! you NEVER let us do that!!!"
big brother was Totoro and the baby was a dust sprite (from the movie)

I want to see this Ches! Would it be bad to ask for a picture? That sounds adorable. But I know many never post a picture of their kids, so I won't be offended!
yeah i try not to circulate pics of my kids but I know my wife took some
my tablet has a camera but it's rarely pointed at anything interesting. I can post a nice picture of the doorknob

Lol. Ok, I get it Ches! My daughter will not post any pics of her kids. She just sends them to my email. Well, we do have pm, just sayin. Oh well, my imagination is quite good. Glad they had a good time. I'm sure older son had the better time! :)

Same here. While I'm thankful for much of it. some of it just plain ticked me off. When I was young and going to school, we got up at 5:00 so we would have time to clean our rooms, put ourselves together. Breakfast was either Puffed Wheat with NO sugar or Cream of Wheat with NO sugar. Then, not too long after we married, my Sisters were given the privilege of picking out their own cereal every morning. Anything they wanted; Fruit Loops, Apple Jacks, Corn Pops, whatever they wanted. Then Mom quit getting up with them. They had alarm clocks and took care of it themselves. While that much freedom is not good, imo, some of it just wasn't fair. Puffed Wheat. Who eats that crap? Not me anymore. But being the oldest calls for us to endure alot of crap. 8) Here's to all the oldest people!! :cheeseheadbeer: :beer:

oh, don't y'all worry....there's still plenty of strictness to go around for those younger kids of mine ;) There's no Fruit Loops or Apple Jacks here!!!
Got home about 45 min ago. Had to make some food, feed the dog, and clean up. I'm a busy girl, huh? Church started with low mass at side altar and finished with a solemn high Mass. It was a beautiful night. Especially love the sequence in the requiem Mass. Anyway, brought Kevin where he needed to go and got on our way. Here I am. Safe and sound. No near misses with semi. Was glad to get home and see what you are all blathering about. :)
Ok, so.....its me and only me here tonight. I will clean my mess, turn off lights, lock up, but first make sure all is in order!
I wish there was something for me to say, but I'm not sure what to say.

Dear Kepha, you do not have to say anything, my dear. Besides if you need to think hard, nothing might be better! What 'cha think? Wait don't answer that, if you're not feeling it!
Good evening!
A very good evening to you my Kepha! How was your day?
It has passed from evening to night even for me. It sure is lonely here. Keph? Carleen? Servus?
Oh THERE you are, Carleen. Come and join me for a little something. Anyone else is welcome:

Non, I snuck in there only to find a rock on the table. Could it...possibly...no, can't be.....could be.....maybe Laus has been lurking, saw the chocolate and absconded with my treat? Well, if he did, I give it to him in my heart. But my head thinks...that little sh%#, how could he!

Thank you, Dymph. Hopefully Laus will get a charge out of this!
How was your head banging day today my friend? Hopefully not as bad as most. You sure do have a terrible cross my dear! I love you and pray when you have to endure this. Please know you are not alone with this. We all care when you are hit with a migraine.

Ok. Ches, but to be less anxious is good for you. Wish it was by more natural means, but whatever helps is better than your excruciating anxiety. I know this. Just happy to hear you have a bit of calm before bed. Love you Ches. Never forget you in my prayers.
Ok. Going to bed now. Church tomorrow. Shower and do the do. Takes time and effort. Yes. I am vain and try to do a fair job on the do. So what of it. Most women try to make the do presentable. The do, as in hairdo.....

An early good evening to all!
I'm glad we got that hour and are on the real time for few months at least.
Of course we went to church an hour early! Ding, dong! Yep. Didn't even get the benefit of that extra hour. Oh well, we are no worse off than last weekend. Had a family party here today. if family is together....it is a party, right. Great food, great company. That's a party in my book!

Well, had a busy week Kepha, had 4 Masses this week, traditional. Went to visit my daughter and her 6 kids. Then todsy, had family party and now I am back! Never fear, we will not die for lack of nonsense.
Ok, so no one wants to chime in. I'm OK with that. Really, who needs to stay up and chat with their friends on SD? Me, I tell you. I will stay up and chat. That is, unless I go to bed. And this IS the go to bed thread....just sayin.....
I'm chiming in now...

I don't mind that my neck of the woods can still get in the 80s or 90s because my car heater doesn't work. We tend to be warmer even during the winter if there's no cold front.

Servus, I see you :seeya:. Now why would RD say you'd put her out? Oh yes, I get it now....the sledgehammer. It seems to me Kept a likes that particular sleep aid. Hey, just wondering, Servus, do you get a time change, too, like we had last night at 2:00 am?
I sure might need the sledgehammer this week to keep me in line.
I looked it up, and I saw that her country doesn't have daylight saving time this year.
I'm still glad we're on the real time now. :)
Thanks Kepha, but does that mean that up to this year, they did have ?ST?
From what I read, it hasn't observed DST since 1935.

And a chili night here. Hope your day is as good as mine was. Worked on project and made progress, just need to use polyurethane about 3 coats, sanding in between coats. Should take a few more days, considering dry time in between coats.

Have good night! Sleep tight! We'll stand guard. ;D

Thank you, Non. Good night!
Good evening.
Good evening Kepha! You are so very loyal to this humble thread. You probably won't learn a whole lot other than how girls think. But I would find that advantageous if I were a man, not as worldly as some.
Servus? You up yet? :grouphug: You have a mess to clean up in Adrianus's intro. Don't want to be a downer my dear. Just sayin....
G-nite. Feels like 10: 30.. going to sleep. All done.

*settles in with my coffee*
Hi, everyone!
Hi lumen, *she sips her beer* So, how was your day?
Hi, Carleen! It's been good, just uneventful. My sleep gets pretty topsy-turvy sometimes, so recently I've been waking late. I'm enjoying my coffee and an audiobook of The Way of Perfection by St. Teresa of Avila.
How are you? :)
Not a bad day, got done what I wanted, but have a cold, and feel kinda saggy baggy.
Aww! Can I get you a pillow or blanket?
Also, "saggy baggy." I've got to find a context in which to use that.
I'm so impressed with St. Teresa of Avila's clarity in teaching and her true love. *listens to audiobook*
"At about this time there came to my notice the harm and havoc that were being wrought in France by these Lutherans and the way in which their unhappy sect was increasing. This troubled me very much, and, as though I could do anything, or be of any help in the matter, I wept before the Lord and entreated Him to remedy this great evil. I felt that I would have laid down a thousand lives to save a single one of all the souls that were being lost there."
Hello, Lumen!

Thank you Lumen, really that is how I feel about all the errors floating around today WITHIN our Church. Leading souls to damnation. I wish I had the Faith to move mountains. I could if only I would try much harder.
Whether it's a harvest party, birthday party, beer tasting party, or cook out, somehow it ends up here. We have space, 3 bathrooms, lots of area to roam, wood burners everywhere, so no one has to be cold. Plus my kids, who are now adults are very involved socially, very fun oriented, and very family oriented. No one gets a babysitter to come to my house! :) Everyone knows that kids are welcome to come play in yard or play legos, and we do feed children.
Servus, you up yet?
Dymph, you out and about? How are you my dear friend. Want a drink? I think I have some flavored vodka here. Let me look. Yep. Got some peach vodka.

I do indeed be here! Trying to figure out how to draw peacock feathers on my nails. Peach vodka sounds awesome! I saw a peach Jack Daniels yesterday. I don't even want to know why they would do that. They just need to stop. Have some dignity Jack! :P blech! :skeptical: I think maybe the Ruskies made him do it.
Oh, sorry! Where are my manners? Hi Kepha and LC! :seeya:

Very good. I hope he's doing well too. :)
He is, thanks! :)
I feel bad because I think some people are getting the wrong impression of him from my Ask a Traditionalist thread. He's doing everything he can to be an excellent boyfriend and I don't want people to be uncomfortable with various aspects of him. :( He's not currently a practicing Catholic, but he is open to the idea of becoming one. We've discussed it. He's also agreed to marry me in a Catholic Church.
I have my eye on a particular Rosary for him when I am able to collect the funds for it. I have a Fatima centennial Rosary on hand for him, but this one is extra sturdy and I don't think he'll ever need another Rosary after he gets this one, because I have no idea how on earth this one could ever break:

I have my eye on a Rosary for myself from the same website, but he comes first. :)
Very good. That does like a nice and sturdy Rosary for him to have. It should hopefully bring ever closer to conversion. Where do they sell that type of Rosary?
I sure hope so!
You can buy Rosaries like the one I showed here: https://www.cordbands.com/collections/paracord-rosaries/products/power-meditation-rosary
I have my eye on a pink one for myself someday.

They just finished Byrd's 3 part Kyrie! I love Byrd! He also has a beautiful Sanctus. Which we do it at our church. He may well be my favorite composer. I think he is of the 1600's.

I'm sorry to hear that. :( I hope he's a happy camper tomorrow for you. :) Good night to you and him, CD!
He got better. Realized what he got all grumpy about wasn't worth the bother. All is well today. :)
Went to c8nfession, then out to find a new cabinet and sink for my big bathroom which is not really so big. We just looked and will look around somemore.
So...having a few drinks before bed. Anyone? What'll you have? You know I have virtually anything and tea for Bird.
I'll take a cosmopolitan, please. My all time, favorite, fancy cocktail. It must be served in a martini glass, or it doesn't count...with a lime twist =)
Husband has been working late the last couple weeks, so we are getting ready to go out for a late dinner, so we can have a few minutes to visit by ourselves. He's a good man, to put up with me the way he does. I dare say he's a keeper!
Yes, tea please. :P

GET THAT BLANKET OFF YOU! It is making you too sleepy to enjoy the voices and sounds of your family. Ask Mrs. C to put it on you just a wee bit later. It is suckling out of your head your head your orientation....home! :)

I think trying to sleep in the hospital was one of the worst things I remember about the time (10 years ago) that I was there because of a broken back. I appreciated the pain killers because they helped me sleep - I think it was the noise as much as the pain that was the problem. (There was some kind of extremely loud noise outside my room and I had the impression that it was not just hospital equipment, but some kind of construction or something going on)
Chestertonian, I feel for you (not that I really can comprehend how much worse it is for you). I'll pray you drift off into sleep despite everything.

As someone who loves both tea and coffee, I have to agree. The tastes are too distinct to blend.
I'm also more into hot tea and cold coffee, so that would be extra bizarre.
So it's heresy for someone to mix tea and coffee. ;D
I thought maybe Starbucks or some other restaurant did that some time back.
Ok. Pals. Happy to be here among the young and restless!!!! Anyway , kepha, now you know, coffee and tea are two non mixable substances. I have never heard of a major coffee shop mixing the two. Possibly, not saying surely, possibly Chai and coffee. Don't tell anyone I said that, could be the ruin of my reputation as a coffee snob.
Servus, you up yet? Well, here a good morning hug from all of us. :grouphug: GOOD MORNING , SERVUS, TIME TO RISE AND SHINE!!!! OH....Didn't meet to shout. Just get up already, my dear Servus!

Ches, I offer up blood clots once again possibly in right arm. Having a serious issue going on. Had my priest, once cardiologist, check my pulse and he could hardly find one in either artery in my arm, so fairly certain I have blood clots in both arteries in right arm. Going in on tuesday. Hoping it doesn't end up in more surgery and bypass or reconstruct of both arteries. I'll pray for you. Please pray for me. Will know more tuesday. No matter, however it turns out. Will offer it up For you. Ches, you know thatmama is always with you. You are ever so special to me. You must know this, by now.

Perhaps you have a sensitive head [or wherever Servus bonks you]? Or maybe Servus keeps an actual sledgehammer just for you.
Thank you, dymphna! I'm glad you liked it! :)
Ok, my sweet peeps, time to open up the bar, the teas and coffee maker. What ever you want we have it! Please , come and imbibe your favorite beverage.
Having a hard time being me, not any thing I don't deserve, but still.....a bit humiliating.

Already did in Mary's Garden, and I don't feel very much better. I believe it is meant to be suffered and maybe no relief. As far as the humiliation goes. Thank you Lumen. You are very kind. :)

Sounds like you meant teas and coffee maker. ;D But I know what you really meant.
I hope it's not something too debilitating you're dealing with, Carleen. :( Are you in good health?
No, not really Kepha, I am a brain damaged, vascular challenged, tried and challenged, left side dysfunctional stroke effected crazy lady who happens to cling to life, laugh at bad jokes, make up bad jokes, and enjoy my family, and grand kids beyond measure. But no, not all is well right now. A few prayers may be in order here. Thanks.

hi hi I just saw this!! oh Carleen, you are a sweet & beautiful granny sharing in the Passion of Our Lord .. & nay, you ain't crazy at all! I'm gonna send you some prayers on the way right now ... I pray you will be given a double boost in strength as you carry the cross... because no cross, what a cross. :grouphug: :pray2:
A respectable time to open up. A couple hours of fun. If any one is so inclined..... :cheeseheadbeer:
I'm having cocoa. :grin:
I just got back from "Non Nobis' infamous walk", but it is a little too early for supper (especially since I had a VERY late lunch). My cat will think she is going to eat now anyway if I say anything to her (meow - yes I talk to my cat), so I'll be quiet and she can eat when I do.
Non, Bird... :grouphug: :seeya:
Yeah, might as well go to bed. Promises to be a very slow nite. :-\ Oh well, can't always be hoppin!
Who said that^^^^ I know her not. Of course we can always hop!
HIppity hop hop hop! Good night, CD!
Kepha, you Ole sweetie pie. Oops ...I mean you manny man you!
Sweet nites, dear Carleen! Have a blessed rest ahead. ;D
Meanwhile, a long pilgrimage to my local Cathedral awaits me in 2 hours' time ... but I shall walk there.. for the LOVE of my dear brethren on this forum. on Suscipe Domine. Will keep you in prayer too!
:grouphug:
(well ok, I can't entirely walk for the whole journey as I will need to take a train in the process ... so pardon me. :P )
Open! Yep, way open now. Come tell me about your day! Fill me in. My day was long and tedious, but I am back home and enjoying listening to the choir practice!
I just woke up to a Saturday, so ... nothing much to chronicle about the day, but I'm all excited to jet to Mass tomorrow morning & catch up up with my psychiatrist on Wednesday. :D
Good morning, sleepy head! Going to bed now. Had a long tedious day, but had to do it. Tomorrow will surely be a better day!
Hi, CD! I hope it will be better for you tomorrow too. Have a good night's sleep!
Hey, Servus! Wakey! Wakey!
DO NOT GO TO BED!!!! Too early. Really. It's simply time to open up for all those who do not go out on Sat. nights :)

No, not necessarily. I don't mind if it's to eat out though. I haven't done that for some time. I actually hear a birthday party happening outside my home right now. The reason why I know it's a birthday party is because I heard the birthday song.
I remember the story a suitemate of mine told me in college where he encountered an owl at night. They both ended up scaring each other.
God bless you, Kepha, a good man. God bless you.
Thank you. God bless you too, Carleendiane!
A beautiful Mass. Thank you lord. Quiet evening here. Just hubby and i. Went out to lunch at Olive Garden. Very nice meal. Just finished a snack here of swordfish we grilled Friday night for the meal the choir put together. Fantastic. Not really a fish lover, but swordfish is great on the grill.
Oh.....open now. Want a wee drink? Just say the word. Well stocked here for thanksgiving dinner.

Oh man...do I have vodka? Tons of it. No flavored vodka, though. But mix it with real 100% cherry juice, on rocks, and if you'd like it less sweet, add some bubble water unsweetened of course, like Perrier, or even cheap bubble water is good.
Here, Lumen..... :beer: I will join you!

I drink only occasionally myself too. I like dark red wines though as well as dark and light beers.

Sweet! Rosaries said, night prayers done (including everyone on the forum, especially our Kaese), and holy water distributed, right after kissing our scapulars and thanking the Blessed Mother for her 'Fiat'. Then everybody is ready for Snooz-Fest Number 11/19/2017, the best part of the day. Time to do a little Horizontal Twist! Crawl into bed and let the 'roll over until you get comfy' phase begin. Did you find it? Of course you did, for about 2 seconds. Then on to the 'I don't care whether I'm comfortable or not, I'm just tired and am going to sleep!' phase! Congratulations on your 20 winks of sleep! God bless and keep you all close to His Most Sacred Heart through the example of His Mother. Can't sleep? Say another rosary! :pray3: ;) 8)

I used to drink soy milk "way back in the day" you could say. I drank it again once or twice within the past three years again though, but it might have been a different brand.

I've heard that soy has odd effects on men (which makes sense, since soy mimics estrogen), so you're probably better off sticking to almond milk anyway.
I had learned about that several years ago too.
I drink almond milk since I'm now lactose intolerant. It's the American Indian in me.

Interesting. I began drinking soy milk because I suspected (and still do, to an extent) that I'm also lactose intolerant (and I'm also American Indian! I'm very slightly Cherokee). I would get some awful cramps and could always track them back to a dairy-intensive meal or snack. I remember eating a McFlurry from McDonalds once and then, when the cramps set in, I told my boyfriend that I didn't understand why I was getting them. He was like, "The McFlurry, babe." So yeah, I likely have some disagreement with lactose/dairy.

Open. Yep, come on in. Probably going to be a short night for me. I am tired and barely know what to do with myself sometimes. No entertainment other than what you guys provide!
I can grab you a caffeinated drink to perk you up, Carleen! I can't be the only one who drinks caffeine really late in the day.
Lumen, I used to drink caffeine any time of the day. Until just a few years ago, but since some awful issues popped up in the past year, sleep is hard enough, good sleep I mean, that I am afraid to do anything that could throw it off. Yes, I'll take a virtual frozen coffee drink, mocha, please!

Oh my goodness, Carleen! :( I'm very sorry to hear that.
Been in therapy for a long time. Taking a break now, but doing better than one would expect. Lots of prayer and my wonderful family have helped me get through. Will never be the same again, but who cares, just want to be the best I can be, especially spiritually. Besides, I was nothing all that special before :lol:

Ches, I have recovered well, took a long time but the surgical aspect is good. It's just that the damage done to the arteries in my arm, by the clots, have left long term effects. My arms circulation is very poor due to the length of time the clots were there before surgery. Just had a very thorough vascular scan done from my carotid artery to my fingertips.
Anyway did you have your family over for T day? We had a huge house full and a particularly good day.No one left hungry!
Been missing you around here Ches. Still praying for you and family. I just keep on keepin on! :grouphug:
Ok. Pay attention. Only gonna say this once! Brush your teeth. After you indulge in leftover desserts from T- Day :) Seriously folks, I could make another Thanksgiving dinner for 8 with my leftovers. I made enough for 30. Only 22 showed up. I sent many packages of leftovers home with my guests!
Dear peeps. Yes, go to bed is open now. Come in out of the cokd. Kick your shoes òff. Come sit by my fire. Just the sounds of the crack and pop will mesmerize you. If that doesn't do it maybe a couple shots of whatever will, combined with the warm fire.and the sweet sounds of wood burning. Seriously, come and indulge yourself just a wee bit on this cold Saturday nite. Come tell mama all about it.
Well, I'm having a red letter day. First I forgot to put dinner in the oven. Then, when I went to take it out, I realized I hadn't turned the oven on.
Carleen, what are you drinking tonight? I think I'll join you.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who does stuff like this! I would bring y'all some beef and vegetable soup, if I could. How about a grapefruit cocktail? I have some grapefruit san peligrino that pairs wonderfully with vodka and triple sec :cheeseheadbeer:

Fleur, how about both,of us joining Munda tonight. Her offerings sound very good and I would appreciate the company! Thanks munda!
I do what I can, when I can :). Enjoy the cocktail! Husband and I are working on revamping chore assignments and expectations this evening :o. Cocktails are a must ;)

Good evening, everyone!
Good evening, Kepha!
Good evening, Lumen, Kepha. Good morning Servus! Son made up an awesome recipe for left over stuffing put enough stuffing, four servings worth, into a bowl and mix it up with two eggs. Make patties! Fry both sides in butter, use hot gravy as a topper. Wonderful. Serve with eggs or turkey slices.But....only as good as your stuffing was. :)
Good morning Lumen, Kepha & Carleen!! ^-^ I just woke up from bed & my eyes are still kinda blurry haha ... leftover patties sounds delicious btw! Yum yum!!

Good morning, Servus!

Hey, SM and LC, be sure to check out the music I posted in the Catholic Liturgical Life subforum. ;D
I had thought of matching some music I know I was performed in certain churches that was posted in your Christian Civilization thread, LC.
Might as well. Go to bed I mean. Will do, in about half an hour. Yup. Tired i am. How bout you? Tired?
I'm not tired. I just woke up to a beautiful morning surrounded by noisy mynas. Praise God! :D

Ok, so....go to bed is now open. Please stop in and tell me what kind of day you had! Had a decent day. Hope you all had a decent day.
Kepha, how did your interview go? Please God, I hope this went well for you.
Today was actually really nice. Our co-op was cancelled, so there were no commitments or places to be today. We accomplished chores, school, then decided to run to the hardware store on a whim.... just because we could. I needed new brooms and a new mop. A sample of paint to touch up my kitchen walls. And, some herbs and flowers for my garden. That's what we did today. Brought a few smiles and laughs to the people at the store (because crazy woman with all the kids). Cashed in on some frosty coupons. Planted herbs when we got home. Ate some sandwiches, and now kids are cleaning kitchen. Husband is traveling, so we miss him. OH! Baby started walking today! Quickly moving to 'not baby' status. They grow so stinking fast!

Sounds like a very pleasant day to me, Munda! No way....baby already walking? Seems like you just had her. Wow, how can this be? Yes, they grow so fast! Kiddies are probably thrilled, begging her to walk to them. Mine were like that. They enjoyed baby's milestones as much as me, the mama!

indeed, they are super excited and coaxing her on like nothing else! It is just so wonderful to see. Children enjoying each other. 8 year old actually got to see her first solo steps...little one has been standing and walking along furniture and such for a few weeks now. For just a moment, I was tempted to be sad and jealous (no judgment!!), but then I realized how great it was for those two girls to share that moment, even without me there - especially since 8 year old is a middle child. So, I told older daughter, "you got to see your sister walk for the first time! You're a lucky girl. That is a really special thing for y'all."
And, yes, it feels like I just took her home yesterday! It's bittersweet. I love watching them grow and reach milestones and experience the world around them, but oh those tiny babies! I'll be sad when my nursing days are over...no matter how much I complain about having to do it sometimes :P

The chant Alma Redemptoris Mater is not too hard once you listen to it a lot and keep singing along with it. It's one of my favorites, the solemn tone that is.
I have to get myself to bed pretty soon now, because I have jury duty all day tomorrow and need to take early bus(es) to get there by 7:45AM, which for me is early :-[. I could drive myself but they strongly advise not to because of traffic and parking (which they don't pay for). I've developed being-late-for-jury-duty-phobia (do they put you in jail? :hide:) so I'm going to get started even much earlier. I rarely take buses so I've had to spend some time figuring out the schedules, although google maps is amazing.
I wonder if I will get on a trial? I have been before (drug smuggling) but not for a while.
My kindle is coming along, as it may be a long day.
Good night! :)
nitey nite Non Nobis! (albeit I just woke up & all is pretty sunny here haha) Rest well to prep for a busy day ahead! ^-^ :seeya:

Last time I was called for jury duty, it was about death of a child by scalding. By the time it got to jury discussion, they dismissed me. I had some very insightful things to say. Parents got off and father guilty as all get out. I found the key to the mystery of the death, and never had the chance to tell the jury. Very frustrating. In this case, I am certain the point I wanted to make was crucial, and was never considered. Very frustrating.
Oh, non, I sympathize with you and surely hope you get there on time... :) Hope all goes well ànd you get home early, or are dismissed. It can happen, you know. Hugs. Hope, if you have to stay, it is at least interesting!
Getting very tired. This is now my sleeping time. Aren't you guys tired yet? Really, what more is to say? I've already said too much. Many are probably thinking, Doesn't she ever shut up? And I agree. Time to shut up...go to bed....save it for tomorrow! Good night everyone! Sleep tight. May God bless you with a restorative sleep! God bless!
Do you talk in your sleep too, Carleen? :lol: I've received the paperwork for jury duty and had to call in, but my group has always been so far out there that we are dismissed before we even had to go to the courthouse. :-[ I think it would be really interesting to serve on a jury. When I worked at the KBI, I was told that we would never have to worry about being called to serve because being part of a governmental Intelligence Agency would cause you to not be objective about whatever the case. I've never been completely sure how they would know that. I hope you get an interesting case Non.

From time to time I wake my self by talking. So yes, I do talk in my sleep, Dymph. :P I snore, or purr as my husband tells it.
Non, keep us apprised of the jury duty. I do hope you get an interesting case. It doesn't have to be murder to be interesting. Those cases suck up your thought life and though we are not supposed to talk about the case I would come home after each day of service and lay out the days events to hubby. He helped me to decide what to focus on and what were the nonessentials. He is very good at getting to the crux of an issue and great at making the puzzle less confusing.

You really are one flesh, so it was perfectly fine to talk to your Hubby about the case. I'm really curious how things went, Non. Did you make it alright? I was praying for you.
So, it is getting to the time I consider throwing in the towel for the night or force myself to stay awake. Don't really know what time I actually went to sleep, but I think it was after 1:30! Yes, I kid you not. I actually stayed up that long! Wow, big mama is playing fast and loose with her precious sleep.

I was up late last night, too. Husband is traveling for work, and I end up having terrible sleep habits when he is gone :-[ It was past 1:00 for me before I hit the sack. You'd think I'd be a walking zombie by now, but alas....sleep seems elusive again tonight. It's only 9:30, though. I'll give it an hour. *sigh*
Goin now. Going to bed for sure. G-nite. :grouphug:

I was in plenty of time, before the courthouse opened. The morning was very dull (I don't even knit, but I did bring my kindle). It's very tedious listening to the names of jurors called to go on a case and half hoping/half fearing that you'll be included. We had a 2 hour lunch break - I had a lovely Chinese chicken salad a couple blocks down from the courthouse and then walked down to our big downtown shopping mall (and didn't shop). And after lunch I was chosen in the first group of jurors!
We are going through "voir dire", where they whittle down the jurors from around 70 to the 12 for the trial. Really very interesting. They tell us the basic charges, but not much more. The judge asks a lot of very probing questions.
They haven't whittled me away yet so I have to report back tomorrow at 9AM. Don't know if I'll make it to the trial, but either way it is really pretty fascinating.
At this point of course I can't say any more. "I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you", as they say.
DO NOT GO TO BED! I repeat....DO NOT GO TO BED!!! Please, do drop on by for a beer, òr glass of wine, or cup of tea, as you wish. But unless you are a baby, or toddler, it is not time. If you are a baby or todcler, what are you waiting for? Get to bed so mama can drop in here for a wee little nip!!!
I'm already out of bed, actually ... all ready to face a beautiful Saturday today! ^-^

Today I was the
very last juror excused from the trial. I was a little disappointed! I'm still not supposed to say anything about it until a verdict is reached. I think I have to call in to find out, probably in a week or so. It's not a big case and wasn't in the news yet; it would probably be a fairly small news item. At this point we (jurors) have a better feel for the judge and lawyers then for the defendant or case. By the end, I was rather drawn into becoming more involved, but oh well, it was not to be!

Thank you; you are sweet as always :)! I wasn't taking it personally ;), it just would have been interesting to continue.
They must have a specific type of juror in mind Non. Otherwise you would be a shoe-in. Hubby was an alternate on the jury he was called for. For whatever reason, they chose to put 4 men on trial, from the same murder case, at the same time. But they had 12 different jurors for each man. It still doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. I didn't know they could even do such a thing.
Hubby's Protege is spending the night. I was having a glass of wine and he freaked out. Apparently he associates any alcohol at all with drunken rages and alcoholism. I can only imagine what this poor kid has seen. Hopefully he will feel better in the morning when he sees that I didn't go on some kind of rampage. Unless of course, I go on a drunken rampage. You just never know about me. :huh:

You both will be so very blessed by God for providing this poor man, barely shaving child, some normalcy in his life. Both of you have such sweet open hearts for this boy. Dymphna, go ahead, buy him those towels. kid likes to know something is his very own. His very own. His own drawer of his very own things. I think it's a great idea. No matter what you buy for his very own drawer he will love it, because it is hís. Everyone needs something to call "my own" . :) And I have little fear of a drunken rampage from you my sweets! He is a blessed young man to have you both. So is his sister...as I see it. :)

Dymphna, go ahead, buy him those towels. kid likes to know something is his very own. His very own. His own drawer of his very own things. I think it's a great idea. No matter what you buy for his very own drawer he will love it, because it is hís. Everyone needs something to call "my own" . :) And I have little fear of a drunken rampage from you my sweets! He is a blessed young man to have you both. So is his sister...as I see it. :)
You are too kind, Carleen. He has stolen my heart, that's for sure. He's now on the list to become one of "my boys". He's certainly made a difference in Hubby's life. I asked about the towel idea because I didn't want him to feel like I was making him separate from us. I wanted him to take it as something special. It was kind of funny, but I was teasing Hubby about having a surprise for him. I did, but I didn't want it to be built up bigger than it really was. Finally he turned to me and, speaking of himself, said, "You do know that boys don't get too excited about towels, don't you?" I just about fell on the floor laughing. His surprise was new flannel sheets AND new towels! Then tonight Hubby forgot to give him the new towels when J went in to take his shower. Maybe I'll wrap them up and give them to him as a Christmas gift. We'll see. Maybe I'll put a bow across the drawer for him. Hmmm... Now the ideas start streaming in. Thanks Carleen! :)

They must have a specific type of juror in mind Non. Otherwise you would be a shoe-in. Hubby was an alternate on the jury he was called for. For whatever reason, they chose to put 4 men on trial, from the same murder case, at the same time. But they had 12 different jurors for each man. It still doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. I didn't know they could even do such a thing.
Hubby's Protege is spending the night. I was having a glass of wine and he freaked out. Apparently he associates any alcohol at all with drunken rages and alcoholism. I can only imagine what this poor kid has seen. Hopefully he will feel better in the morning when he sees that I didn't go on some kind of rampage. Unless of course, I go on a drunken rampage. You just never know about me. :huh:

Don't know exactly what I did, but you certainly are welcome 😥 Dymph! Yes, tie a bow on the drawer. When he checks it out, he will be delighted to think it's all HIS! Yep a great idea. Don't forget the "shaving" cream and shavers!
AGAIN!!!! DO NOT GO TO BED!!!! Remember.....This thread is for chatting....before we hit the hay. It's for saying goodnight, for sharing a bottle, for counsel, for complaining, for good news, for bad news, for spiritual support, for sharing struggles and victories....then we go to bed. But rarely before 10. All Littles should be in bed before us, by at least an hour. :)
Good morning Carleen! I just woke up from bed ... (*yawns*) I gotta prep to head to Mass later. ;)
Good news: Advent is finally in.
Bad news: Lumen has left SD ... for private reasons. Wept over her last nite ... she was soooo sweet .... (*sobs*)
Oh, how sad. No goodbye message. Was it our fault Servus?
Well ... It's more of my fault ... I haven't even blasted farewell confetti for her! :(
(I sound really drunk in the morning. :P)
but assuredly ... she didn't left because it was our fault ... she said she needed to wean off the computer or something. Yea.

We have a few more hours until Advent starts...Go ahead and get it out your systems while you still can! It is the liturgical New Year's Eve, after all
Is it about time for our rosary? LC is gone? Oh how sad. Maybe once things quiet down for her at home she'll be back.

:-[ :-\ :'( :pray2: :pray3: :( yes, ithe seems she has left us. Just up and left without a word. I was so enjoying her here. But a woman has to do what she has to do. Just hoping she hasn't taken ofense over something said or maybe implied. Lumen, if you read this....I will miss you, my dear.
Oh, NO! I am getting forgetful. Will everyone know enough to go to BED? Well, if you stay up all night, you can blame it on me! I forgot to open up, chat, and tell everyone goodnight. Will you still love me in the morning? :) at he more innocent probably won't get this. The older one may get it, but I worry that I remember these inuendofic meanings.
Well good night. Sleep tight. May our angels protect our subconscious, and guide our dreams to good and not bad! Amen. God bless. Sorry I left you al to wander and wonder what time it is. :-[

I ended up staying up all night last night myself. Oh well, I got an almost four-hour nap later on Sunday in the afternoon. I am glad to know that I do allnighters if I have to.
No problema. Good night, CD! :) And to everyone turned in or turning in!
Open. Now it is time to enjoy the evening. Finished rosary and dinner, so it's time to read or chat or share a bottle of wine.
Hi all,
Thought I'd stop in and give you all a progress report.
Just sitting here looking at my DH sleeping in the hospital bed in the middle of the living room. At least he is comfortable. He has lost so much weight. He's maybe 115-120 lbs at 6' 3" tall. He is so emaciated. He has lost a lot of interest in eating and sleeps most of the time. I just sit and watch him breath wondering how long he has left.
It has been a long and tiring journey. But God is good. The hospice nurses and personnel are angels. Father gave him the Last
Rites and he has Holy Communion weekly. And so many people are praying!! Such a grace! It is what will get us all through this.
From all that DH has said to me, I am confident that he will die a good death. His Faith has sustained him.
God bless you all for your prayers. I sooooo appreciate them all.

I am so very sorry that your husband is so ill, but so very glad to hear that he is well provided for by you and especially by his Faith. I will pray that he lives as long as God wills, and dies a holy death.

Dear Orate, and Dear Orate's hubby..... :pray3:... :grouphug: :'( :pray3: So very sorry. May God sustain him and our Lady accompany him on his journey home.

what a beautiful testament you are to the title, 'Catholic Wife'. Be very assured of my prayers. Thank you for the update.
Yes, a Catholic Wife, preparing him for his journey. I hope to do this for my hubby. Or he for me... :-\ :)

Continued prayers for you both :pray3:
Thank you Orate, you don't know this but you have given me some perspective and peace, about a situation. The idea of a spouse sitting beside her sick husband listening to his every breath is beautiful to me. I love that scene because it could be any of us. And because I can think of no better way to leave this world, than with ones spouse. Just as I would wish, by my side. Listening to my every breath.
Oh dear Orate! You make me wish I was an artist. Your words have painted such a sad, yet comforting, picture in my mind that I wish everyone could share. The example you are setting is one that I can only hope and pray to live up to should I find us in similar circumstances. You embody St. Simon of Cyrene when you help DH carry his cross every day. Or the Blessed Mother caring for and watching over St. Joseph in his last days. Thank you for keeping us informed, Orate. Please know that you all are in my prayers.
O Merciful Jesus, Lover of souls, I pray Thee by the agony of Thy most Sacred Heart and by the sorrows of Thy Immaculate Mother, cleanse in Thy Blood the sinners of the whole world who are now in their agony and are to die this day. Amen
Agonizing Heart of Jesus, have mercy on the dying.
St. Joseph, patron of the dying, pray for them.
Going to bed early tonight! Very tired and ready even now to turn in. Will wait a bit though. Gotta get more tired than this!
It's time, you know. Time for a glass of....wine? Stop in and say your piece. I could give counsel, but I am not qualified, unless you want a quack.

Better a quack than a raving lunatic. :grin: What advice do you have for someone struggling to get out of a funk?
Being a total quack, I say just wait and the funk will pass. All things pass, right? Of course they do. Even the deepest darkest things pass. Just eat some ice cream, really, seriously.
So ... it's time to say good nite, then? Good nite, dear Carleen! :seeya:
Yes servus. Getting late. But ....feeling truth has been spoken here. Any way...I just found a lot of chocolate fifty cent pieces on my coffee tsble. Yes I ate some and enjoyed it... with just a tad of conscience. No, not totally without. But, it was a gift, for St Nicholas day.!

You're making me wish I were a kid again! (Hmm, do they make those gold chocolate coins in dark chocolate now?)
I was waiting for the arrival by 8PM (Amazon shipping) of a nifty gift I found for the hostess of a book club I belong to (we are reading C. S. Lewis'
Mere Christianity). It is a pewter Christmas ornament that is an angel sitting on a stool reading a book. She is wearing pants. This is not a good thing for an angel; but she does match many of the women in the club
* - so I will pass her off as a new member :D! (The title of the book she is reading isn't very clear but it might be "The Christmas Story")
It is late and is now supposed to come Thurs or Fri. Good thing our club probably won't meet until next week!
*The club includes mostly novus ordo Catholics! :-\ ;) The hostess is someone I used to know in college.
Maybe I'll post a pic later.
Open now. Jammies allowed, but no pillows or beds yet. Way too early, you hear me? Way.

be grateful to God for the little amount of snow your place has, Dymp ... Because there's no such thing as snow here in my country, Singapore. Just sun & rain all-year round.
Ok, yep I'm a little late. But..went to mass, went to store, came home made a couple drinks, feeling a bit sleepy. So shoot me.

Still having fire issues (and power issues come with that). I'm safe though; it's a little ways away.
Once the entire city went dark overnight. Not a fire issue - some problem with electrical grid.
No snow!

Dear God, protect Non. Please. Well her neighbors, too. :)
Spent the day with 21 year old who lives in Colorado. Had a great day, then found out a costly endeavor some how got screwed up....again. Praying Martin will be ok. Poor boy. Really suffering. I know not to complain about anything with such suffering going on. God help him. Servus is at Mass and praying for him, God bless her! God bless all of you. Living a Catholic life is truly a life of the cross! But I will hug the cross, so maybe God will allow me to be a doorkeeper, at least! I will sweep the streets, I will polish the stones. I will pour the wine, I will clean the mansions, just so I can see the glories of God! Please, dear Lord, count me one of the elect, though I have given close to nothing, nor have I carried my crosses well. But...I have believed, and confessed, and transmitted the faith to my family. Of course, so have so many others! :-\

7:22. Way too early. Just have a teeny weeny little drink with me and we can talk about.....IT! Whatever IT is. Okay? Yes, I have a few hours before I will consider turning in!!!! I don't want to brag or anything. But, that being said, I have skills...skills for counseling and direction.

spending the week at home because i just want to be home. been on meds for anxiety but they make me tired so my week has been one big "go to bed" thread but I am ruminating less and worrying less so thats good. tomorrow is my birthday and also the first night of chanukah so i think the boys might be getting some presents too tomorrow. my wife and i havent done one bit of christmas shopping because life is keeping us busy... i dont even think we got an advent wreath out this year or did any advent things. just survival mode. i think I have "advent guilt" because i know this is a season where people do things and we havent done anything

Tired. Baked bread today. House smells so good. Hope Mary is enjoying the smell in here. Hope yall have a pleasant evening! Fell asleep after done with bread. Hope I don't see Dymph in the 4 o'clock thread tonight!
From your fingers to God's eyes, my friend. That just doesn't have the ring to it like the other. I'll have to work on that. Maybe I'll bore myself to sleep.
Oh, and Congrats to the new Watchmeister! God bless you, Sweetheart! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
Dymph, wouldn't it be great if I got out my old cheer uniform and had hubby video me giving Servus a proper cheer from a real cheerleader? I actually think I'd get kicked off SD!!!!!!
Ha! I think mine is still in my hope chest. I got my football and basketball pins, but I never got the wrestling one. We could come up with a Watchmeister pin! My letter was a big 'B' for the Bell Bobcats. That wouldn't work for SD though. Oh, well. 8)

That's as good a reason as any, Ches! I'll trade you some "go to bed" for some "up all night again"! What do you think? ;)
Do you all have a menorah that you light? I'd say that you being home would be an awesome Christmas gift for the family. No shopping needed! Just put a big red ribbon on your transformer chair and call it good. :lol: I'm really glad that things are even a little bit better for you. :cheeseheadbeer:
Open now! Open and ready to .....I don't know, you tell me! What am I ready to do...,even I don't know. Help me out here If I am ready to do sonething... I should know what that is!!!!!
Ok. Said my rosary. Prayed for my peeps. Ummmm. Did my laundry. Made maetloaf...again. Did my laundry. Made my wee little drink. Now what? Oh yeah, prayed for prayer requests. Put a few birds around Mary's statue. Gazed upon her lovliness...oh...I know I have not yet ......um, what have I not yet done??????
Brushed your teeth?
OhOHOHOH! Thank you my dear Dymph, my teeth, they are longing for my toothbrush. THATS IT.You are pure genious. But...did you notice....I did my laundry twice?
G-nite Ches, Martin, Dymphna, Servus, Martin, Non, Munda, St Columba, Pons, Trump, my sweet Lydia, and Jaca St. Columba, etc al! Love you guys! Wait, forgot Kaese. A good man. Even if he's not on board with my love and dedication to Fatima!!!!!
Ok, you ready? Then, GO! BUT... you may wake at four, and spend a couple hours trying to get back to sleep. I know.....this happens when I go to sleep too early. That's why I try to NOT turn in before 10. And usually, I never do reach anything like a deep sleep.
Ended up sleeping most of the day. But poor Hubby came home sick, so now have to worry about him. He said it feels kind of like the flu. Anyone else experiencing the flu? Hope not.

Admittedly the flu is a pretty common aliment among Singaporeans to tackle on a seasonal basis, & I actually got it some weeks back. The remedy is to see a doctor as soon as possible & bear it until it goes away on its own days later. I'll keep your dear husband in prayer, Dymph! :pray2:

No flu here. I can only wish it were the flu!!!! Anyway, turning in soon. Spent evening with son and girl. Heard wedding plans. Good plans. Let's just see if they are allowed to marry before the diocesan 9 months

Not this year, thank God! I had it last year, and it was pretty terrible. Prayers for hubby :pray3:
Yep, I'm here. Give me a chance to clean up! Dust bunnies all over! There now.......take your shoes off!
And to all the sick and infectious, come one come all. Nothing more germ free than virtual!!!!!
2 Cheers for viral! Hey, it's burn free too! Got a call on Hubby's phone. Yes, I listened to the voice mail. We'll see how that goes over tomorrow. Anyway, it was the neighbor telling him that a house behind us is on fire. :eek: :eek: :eek: She wanted him to know that it might smell bad when he gets up and goes to work in a few hours. :eek: :eek: :eek: I want to call her back so bad! Ask her how her pulse is, if she has one.... I went out back and the whole street over is full of firetrucks, ambulances, police, and electric company employees!! I had fallen asleep on the couch and didn't hear a thing! I counted 7 fire trucks. How do you sleep through 7..SEVEN fire trucks??? Walked over and talked to the EMTs and they said they didn't know if anyone was home yet. If I wanted info the Chief was right over there, and they pointed to the front of the house. Well, what hasn't melted off of it yet, anyway. Then one of the guys said he didn't think my services would be needed though and it was unusual, but very nice for the USO to show up. Did I know whomever's house this was, was military? I didn't know what in the world he was talking about. Then he pointed to my shirt and said, "Aren't you with the USO?" Then I realized I was wearing the shirt the USO sent me when they got my check last year. I'm such a dummy! I actually just had it on when I was replacing the bubbler one of my fish tanks. I didn't even have any makeup on! I never, never go out without my makeup on! Even Hubby's Protege once told Hubby that we couldn't leave yet to go out for supper because I didn't have my "face on" yet. So here I was, worried about neighbor's I've only seen a couple of times, representing the USO, without realizing it and in a very crappy way! The people whose house was burning weren't home, but the house is a total loss. They were bringing out burned up furniture, all the windows that I could see anyway, were busted out. The saddest thing I saw though, that brings tears to the eyes, were little plastic candy cane Christmas decorations along the side of the house, all drooped over, melting. The siding on the front of the house is melting off and black, but those drooping candy canes just broke my heart.
I'm going to have to get on the police scanner and see what I can find out. Please spare a prayer for these folks. This place is a total loss.
*Update: The two people and their pets were out of the home when Fire fighters showed up. They estimate the loss to be $37,500 and caused by unattended cooking. Thank God no one was injured. :pray1:
Thinking, just thinking about bed. A thought or two doesn't mean I'm gonna go to bed right now. Does it? Nahhhhh. Only babies go to bed at 8.

W.O.W. What more could you possibly say? Just W.O.W. Did you get him? Oh I hope so! He couldn't find a better home than with you all.
Almost 8:30. Gotta go another hour and half before I can even think about turning in, then another half hour before I will. So, stop in and help make the time go by faster.
Hubby is off to bed so I am off to bed. Sweet dreams to all my buddies. I'll say my rosary in there. God bless you all!

Ok. So. Hopefully when I get up, and get ready for Mass, I will be able to recycle the animal on my head. Tame the beast and not have to spend valuable time in front of my bathroom mirror. I can hope :-\

Ah, yes, the phenomenon known as "bed head". This phenomenon should really be high upon the list of desired things for our bodies. Like white teeth and clear skin. "Bed Head" is proof from God that we have slept the night before. What could be better than that?! Glorify the Bed Head! Be proud to have one! Those who haven't slept yet will envy you even more when you walk by, proudly sporting your Bed Head upon your shoulders! Thank you God, today for my Bed Head!

Oh Dymph, leave it to you to understand my inane comments. This is only part of the reason I LOVE you.
Yes, 9:56 is certainly bed thinking time. If you are not "bed thinkin", you are probably a night hawk. But the problem with night hawks is that they may be eaten by night owls, which certainly may be eaten by.....eagles? Well, they are all over Michigan and it is not a stretch to think the night hawks, eaten by the night owls, eaten by the eagles, are in danger. Are you in danger? Maybe you should think about turning in so as not to be a victim of the eagle. Just sayin.....
Bump. Really, it is quite important to tuck in the go to bed-ers!!!!
So maybe I AM thinking about bed, what of it?
Wow, only about 8:40. Too early, if I have any pride at all!

10:00 is my sweet time. Used to be 11 or 12. Being older and wiser, it is now 10. I was such a knownothing when I first arrived here. *geesh*!
You must know your limitations before you can exploit them, Noble Grasshopper. Now you know how long you can stay up before you have a bad night. Lesson learned! Sweet dreams, my friend.

G-nite. Sleep tight! She said.
OK, I replied. Let her have a good night so she can do well tomorrow, she prayed for her friends. "Let them all have a good night with sweet dreams, so they can fulfill their duties of state, each according to Your will, with a true sense of charity."
O Merciful Jesus, Lover of souls, I pray Thee by the. agony of Thy most Sacred Heart and by the sorrows of Thy Immaculate Mother, cleanse in Thy Blood the sinners of the whole world who are now in their agony and are to die this day. Agonizing Heart of Jesus, have mercy on the dying.
And surely now, she thought, it's late enough and I can go to sleep. Say night prayers, get into bed, ask my Guardian Angel to go be with those who need him more. Say a rosary of thanksgiving for all the graces, people, crosses, ones I love most and least. :pray3:
Baked bread, made dozens of cookies, frosted and decorated, made a huge bread wreath. Thanks be to God, all turned out. But......I realized, I can not decorate cookies well at all anymore. Bummer. Left hand is too wacky. But... a baby boy was born today to his happy mother...while dad was home with the flu! Her little brother drove her in.

Dymph, this^^^^^^ is so sweet, so beautiful, I almost cried. I want you to give my eulogy! And of course, not during Mass! Maybe at the funeral home. Somehow, you manage to say the most touching things. Thank you, Sis.... :)
Worked my tail off today, made every thing I could do ahead of time! Don't feel very good. Strange pains, muscles Charlie horsing on me. Offering it up for Ches, Martin, Orate, Munda, Servus, Dymph, Jacob, Miki, and a host of others. Hopefully this strangeness will just disappear, like so many other things do. :) But...all in all, it was a good day.
Open, now. Come on in and distract me. Really, I am still marveling over my beautiful daughter and her brand new, beautiful baby.
I'm here to bring the distraction...and, a margarita, compliments of husband.

Ummmm, my only education philosophy is truth in God and the school of life. Not trying to be cute. It's all I know, and from that is the source of my education. Besides hundreds of books read, and a few Catechism classes. Now, I'll take that margarita, Munda.

So, based on the very little research I've done, it sounds like your ideas fit closely with Charlotte Mason's. From what I understand, she strongly believed that education and religion were closely intertwined, and that truth and knowledge - whether it be math or theology, grammar or philosophy - all come directly from God. So, for example, the orderliness of math reveals the orderliness of God, thus studying math concepts will ultimately lead you closer to knowing who God is and how He operates. She, too, believed children learn best from real interactions with the world around them vs. simulated practice. And, of course, she stresses the importance of reading LOTS of good literature. I am finding very drawn to her ideas and methods. And, while Seton has served our family very well over the years, and I still think their curriculum is very well done, I am wondering if God might not be leading us to a shift in how we educate our own children. Lately, school feels overly rushed, busy, and very 'check the box and get it done'. I feel a strong need to slow down a little bit, and focus more on better absorption of what we are studying.....more of a quality vs. quantity. Husband and I need to do some praying and discussing about things, for sure. Either way, I've not doubt God will make sure to lead us on the path that is right for our family - whether we continue with what we are doing, or transition into something different. Just some ponderings I've been doing while rocking and nursing a sick baby.....

Yep snowed all nite Christmas eve, snowed more today and the wind was wild today causing drifts and crazy conditions for driving.
Opening early. May be going to bed early. Well see. Still a bit pooped from the whirlwind weekend! So, come tell mama about your Christmas.
Not quite sure why, but we haven't opened our gifts yet. They are all piled up, sitting on the couch. Looking at me.
Hubby actually liked the gift I got him (and it wasn't cold cash :eek: :swoon1: ) :

His Mom once told me about how their house used to have a long front porch on it, but they had to drastically shorten it because he used to ride his Big Wheel off it for fun. A couple of trips to the doctor for stitches and his Dad put a stop to that. He put cement steps in that were just the width of the door. We couldn't be more opposite if we tried! :lol:
It's minus thirty degrees Celsius here tonight. It's pretty cold, even in the house.

Today I was the very last juror excused from the trial. I was a little disappointed! I'm still not supposed to say anything about it until a verdict is reached. I think I have to call in to find out, probably in a week or so. It's not a big case and wasn't in the news yet; it would probably be a fairly small news item. At this point we (jurors) have a better feel for the judge and lawyers then for the defendant or case. By the end, I was rather drawn into becoming more involved, but oh well, it was not to be!
Well, the case was nearly a month ago and I finally called in to find out the verdict - which was "guilty" on both counts. It was a domestic violence case; a man attacked his spouse or girl friend, while a child was watching. That's about all we were told.
The judge (a woman) was very likable and humorous and explained things very well; and she was very good at probing to get jurors to open up. She wanted us to tell her ANYTHING that might be a factor in how we would do in the actual trial.
Many of the jurors were excused because they had personal experience with such violence, or with the police in general, etc. The judge only dismissed them when they actually admitted that they might have trouble being fair because of their experience (or didn't want to serve); but later the attorneys dismissed more, for whatever reasons. One woman came right out and explicitly said she was a feminist, and couldn't be fair, and wanted to be excused.
The judge said that we had to do "mental gymnastics" when serving on the trial. I spoke up because this sounded to me like twiddling with my conscience. But later I understood that she meant that we shouldn't look at the defendant in quite the same way as we would outside a trial. I admit that, even if I try to be fair, I might have little preconceived notions about a defendant "well after all he has been CHARGED, how could he be innocent [and, without wanting to admit it, he looks like 'that kind of guy']". The judge reminded us how seriously "innocent until proven guilty" must be taken; and how a defendant doesn't even have to take the stand but still can't be presumed guilty (the prosecution has the burden of proof).
The judge said that we shouldn't even say hello to her or the attorneys or anyone in the court on the outside, to avoid possible influence on each other. Well, I sat down on the jury bench outside early on the 2nd day, and a man came and sat next to me, and I thought he was another juror, so I said hello, and he said hi back. Turned out he was the defendant (the courtroom opened and someone escorted him in (Oops!)). No big deal, but I thought it was something the judge might want to know about. She did, but just asked if I thought it would influence me. I admitted that it made "innocent until proven guilty" a little more meaningful. Didn't bother the judge; but it was the prosecuting attorney who finally dismissed me (very last juror excused)!
(Lest you think I wasn't very observant, my juror seat was at the opposite end of the table from where the defendant sat, so he was obscured by both of the attorneys. Of course it is also true that I am not very observant.)
Wow Non! That sounds like it was quite the ordeal. Did the man have your spidey senses tingling? More and more men are going to prison because of domestic violence. It has always been around but for some reason it just kind of seems more prevalent now. Maybe it's just me. Both Hubby's Protege's Father and Uncle are in prison because of it. Sadly, the family uses that as an excuse for Protege's behavior. I don't know what the answer is to stop the attitude from going generation to generation, but just throwing your hands up and saying, "He's bad, just like his Father!" can't possibly be it.
Did you recognize the story once you were able to hear about it, Non? You must have had a look of someone that would not take any nonsense. Otherwise I'm sure you would have been chosen for the jury. Better luck next time!

Thanks Non, that was an interesting read.And I doubt if you are all that unobsevant. I was looking at a killer in the courtroom while serving and I know I would not recognize him outside of the courtroom. Not then, not ever.For me, take a person out of the setting in which I see him daily, and most likely I will not recognize him! Or her!!!

Wow Non! That sounds like it was quite the ordeal. Did the man have your spidey senses tingling? More and more men are going to prison because of domestic violence. It has always been around but for some reason it just kind of seems more prevalent now. Maybe it's just me. Both Hubby's Protege's Father and Uncle are in prison because of it. Sadly, the family uses that as an excuse for Protege's behavior. I don't know what the answer is to stop the attitude from going generation to generation, but just throwing your hands up and saying, "He's bad, just like his Father!" can't possibly be it.
Did you recognize the story once you were able to hear about it, Non? You must have had a look of someone that would not take any nonsense. Otherwise I'm sure you would have been chosen for the jury. Better luck next time!
My spidey senses abandoned me. I just thought the guy was a little shy because he said hi but didn't seem to want to look at me! It was a misdemeanor case; if it were felony I imagine he would have been accompanied by someone else.
I actually called in just to check the verdict, I didn't hear it or see it in the news. No juicy details.
Yes, I do think I will. Go to bed, that is. Hey, anyone hear a peep from Laus? I do hope he is well. :)
Fine. It's open. Now. How was your day? ?id laundry and baked bread. That's pretty much it. Oh yeah, lots òf dishes. Lots.
Hubby's had this week off and he's been crawling the walls crazy. It's been too cold to play with the Weedhopper, so he was going to work on the paramotor so it will be ready to fly in the Spring. The friend of his that has one and was going to help him backed out at the last minute. Then another friend was going to go to St Louis to pick up a part for his truck, provided he won the auction, and wanted us to go along. That fell flat. Then he did something that wrenched his shoulder so he's been in terrible pain. He went to the chiropracter and we had to peel him off the ceiling in order to get him home. Those little thumpy things some of the chiropracters use can put you in a world of hurt, on top of what you already are going through. So yeah, the fun times are almost over. He says it was still better than going to work. :lol: Poor guy.
Oh my, poor Alan he must be amazingly uncomfortable, though I must say I've never heard of going to chiropractor for a shoulder! I know how much pain a shoulder can be when things are wrong.
I am so sorry for Alan, but none the less....life goes on. Go to bed, now open! Yes, right now. OPEN!!!!! Come tell me all about it.
Have you got big New Year's Eve plans?

That sounds like a good plan to me! :cheeseheadbeer:
Brother went to bed which means I can go! Yahoo we can go to sleep. But just because he went to bed, do I have to? I will in a ,minute. A minute, I tell you.
trying to sleep but sleeping medsaren't working I am so anxious
So happy to see you here, Ches! Just sad sleeplessness and anxiety is the reason :-\
Now that brother is over chest pain, we are watching Searching for Bobby Fisher. Execellant movie. Seen it many times, but still enjoy it. Anyway, come on in. Make a nice little good night beverage.
Ok. Yep. Bedtime. Don't fight it. If you feel like you can sleep, you probably can. Really. I know this from experience.
I often find that if I really need to wake up, I just go lay down and pretend I'm going to bed. The brain and the bod are immediately wide awake within about 2 seconds. Weird, I know. But it's me. :-\ee

7:30. Time to open. Having a shot with some bubble water. Just warming up for bed! Got a bit of work done. Now ready to relax a bit here and will be sleeping by 11 for sure!
Well....maybe 10:20. Good nite!
Yes, yes, I know it's early, but getting dark here already. I actually like the short days because it's easier for me to get to bed earlier. I know...it's all psychological. But still with fewer daylight hours I do get to bed earlier. Gotta say another rosary with hubby then get him some dinner. I still eat very little, so a dinner plate of food is something I don't do. I will eat, just not so much. Don't eat a regular lunch either, but I do have a few bites of meat and a fruit or 2 through out my day. Sometimes, especially after Mass, I feel ravenous, but not so much during the week. I should be a stick lady, but assure you I am not. Nor am I an anorexic. Actually, though we do not keep sweets, if someone brings some over I am on them like white on rice. :) :-\

Yeah, after all these years, Hubby is just now figuring out that my size isn't due to what or how much I eat, it's a lovely by-product of PCOS. A nibble here and there does me fine. Do you find it difficult or weird to just be cooking for the 2 of you after cooking for a large family all those years? Just the little bit that I helped my friend with the 13 kids with and then when they lived here for those few months was completely different when I just cooked for the 2 of us.
Oh yes, Dymph, I cook for a crew always. End up freezing soups because I make too much. But there are lots of days I don't have to make a thing because my freezer is full of leftovers, which hubby has no problem with. He loves leftovers. I loved cooking big dinners feeding lots of mouths. Now, I'm not really up to the pace I ran, so I guess I'm better off without the numbers to feed :-\

Don't feel bad. I think God does this by design. We live pretty close to the hospitals here in town and with such a big house, it was my dream that people from the parish could just stay with us when they had a loved one in the hospital and we would take care of anything they needed. A friend got out of the restaurant business and gave us his full sized freezer. At that time the house was in great shape, but there were a couple of adjustments I wanted to make before we had people over. Things like bringing the washer and dryer upstairs and extending the bathroom into the nursery and put in double sinks. Just minor things. Then the migraines started again and 1 job down. Started getting a bit better but then Hubby got the flying bug, which isn't cheap. So I had to move on from that dream. :-\ Now the dream is to get through a month without needing Butorphanol, i.e. migraine free.
Oh my sweets, sorry it went this way... :grouphug:
Yep. Go to bed is open. How about a shot of cheer? Too late. Already broke out the cheer. Well, not to late...we have a very cheerful choir here! We will be cheerful at least until 10:30. Come by. Be cheerful with us. Having salmon after practice. And baked potato chunks and salad. Really, should be delightfulet Cheer-ful.
Opening early tonight. It's so stinking dark here. Can't help thinking about sleep! Must be tired, huh? So, got the chimney cleaned and all is well now. No more threat of chimney fire. Can quit worrying about that anyway!
Watching Susan Boyle again,on youtube. Never fails to amaze me. Wow. She looks like a cleaning lady and sings like a true artist. Always warms my heart.
Dymph, you good? Munda? Non?
We are better! It took FOREVER to get over the stupid flu. There were relapses and setbacks, and then a trailing stomach virus. But, we finally turned the corner...whoo hoo! Got to celebrate Christmas with husband's family and my family after it was all over. Then, tonight, we are just returning from our Latin Mass group's Epiphany party. Had a great time. Good friends, good food, good wine. Singing, dancing, carols, games, gifts...the whole shebang. It was a really nice time, and a much needed pick-me-up.

That flu seemed to be a real doozy! I'm glad you got to seriously celebrate the Epiphany (Happy Epiphany everyone!), and will be ready for the rest of the Christmas season.
Going. G-nite.
Dark....so.....bed? Oh stop it, you're not even tired yet!
Gnite all! See you in the morn. Meet you at the door with a fresh cuppa and a good morning! Nite Martin, Ches, Lydia, Servus, Jayne, OC, Dymph, Non, Lynne, Munda, Kaese, Henrich, Scowler, Gardener, Pon, Quare! G-nite!
And Dymph, prayers for sleep to come to your sleeplessness. Please Lord. Amen.
Don't mind me. Just priming the pump for a birthday bash. Maybe Dymph, and Lydia could bring some birthday cake in for the pafty. I have none. :(
Lydia....Dymph.....you here?
Dymph....Lydia......I think I'm drinking alone. :(
Munda? Doncha have a kid with a birthday we could toast to?

Sorry, I'm late. Just got home from having dinner with my in-laws and out-laws. I've got a niece who turned 11 today too, so it was party central. Who knew a japanese steakhouse would have good food? Now, about that toast... Got to figure out what to drink first though. Hmmm :tinfoil:
Zzzzzzzzz :cheeseheadbeer:
Lydia. :-\ don't worry I had a few shots for you, too!
No....don't go to bed yet!!!! Still tipping one for Dymph's and Lydia's birthday. Yes, I know, I do go on, but really, I am just so happy about their bithdays.

Oh if I could I could thank myself I would....oh I would.
I LOVE YOUR TRUE LOVE. Oh , I do. Love him. Oh! I do!!!!!
That^^^^means nothing. Nothing. Can not be used against me. Nope. Ask Jim Jordan.
Sorry, Carleen! I've not had much free time to get on lately. But, yes, it's safe to assume we ALWAYS have a birthday around here....we have birthdays in May, August x2, October, November, December x2, January, and February. Every time the 1 year old sees a candle, a match, or dessert, she starts singing "happy birthday"...well, more like "ha-eee, ha-eee, ha-eee" over and over again ;D Gobs of birthdays....I will forever be your scapegoat for a birthday toast ;)
Hey, that time again! Come on in, i'll pour you a few fingers of your favorite nightcap.
Yep, it's late and I'm still up. But not for long. G-nite Dymph, Lynne, Servus, Gardener, Heinrich :pray3: Quare, Non, Kaese, Martin, Ches, Kepha, Laura, Emily, Billy, Andy, Katie, Dominic. Love you guys. Munda, Lydia....
Do. Not. Go. To. Bed. But, do drop by!
Sorry, but as soon as Hubby gets home with my big time head med, I will be going to bed. Oh, no! I'm rhyming! This is not very good timing, for rhyming. Not good at all, though hopefully the deal is but small. Must Stop Now! It's time for chow. :doh: :laugh:

Well, at least bed head is not.....inbred.
Open now. Running a bit low on mixers, but have a nice red wine. And a few different types beer and a couple angry orchards. Tea and coffee always available. You want something special, bring it.
Spent the afternoon with my newest grandchild. My first chance to meet him. What an adorable little guy. Jet black thick hair. If it weren't for his eyes, he would pass as an asian, or maybe Eskimo baby. A delight to behold, of course a beautiful baby. Baby no.7, for this daughter. And everyone's prayers for daughter and baby were heard. Both are doing wonderfully! The next daughter will be having her 5th in about 9 days. I am so rich! Three new grandkids in one year. Love it. Love them!
Ok, a very decent time to begin contemplating my pillow. Just a thought for now. By ten, it may be reality! :)
G-nite!!
Going to bed as soon as I finish baking my bread. Got half of it done. Just need to bake a few more loaves.
Got any fishes to go with those loaves? You must be exhausted baking this late. Time to put your footsies up and have a couple of shots. How long does it take you to relax before you can go to sleep?

Takes me about 1 1/2 hours. I don't like baking late because the mess I end up with is big, so I do half the cleanup, then finish,in the morning. Like most women, I like to get up to a clean kitchen. Bread turned out awesome, had some with coffee this morn. Fresh bread with butter and a little honey is great. Honey is not something I use much of. Nor sugar because I don't bake sweets, though I love them.
DIL- to be baked mini apple pies that had such a beautiful crust and very pop tartish flavor. Well, maybe that doesn't sound so good, but believe me, put them with a cuppa coffee or tea, and they were wonderful! My son may actually get back up to 170 lbs again. RI ghat now he is around 160 and looks best with a few more pounds on him. Ha, opposite of my problem. I could lose 10 and no one would know. :-\
Another baker in the family! That's great! WHOAAA! My angelfish (Raphy) just charged and rammed into the shark (Charlie). Holy cow! It's like bumper cars in there. Charlie was eating algae off the side of the tank and Raphy went to the opposite side (it's a hexagon shaped tank) and then practically flew all the way across and rammed right into Charlie. Then backed up and did it again. I gotta stop this.
YES...OPEN! We are so open you would not believe it. Come on in. See for yourself. I have a lovely sweatshirt on and the perfect pre-bed head.
Oh, for got to report, my Internet was down for most of the afternoon. Hope I didn't miss anything! :)

We couldn't be MORE open than we are now. Enjoying a beer. Just a spring board to 10 bedish time!
Dymph, Non, Munda, Lydia, Lynne..... Ches, Martin, Kepha, really? Another nite alone. No matter, a toast to all. Per? Toast to you. Glad you are back!
A toast backatcha CD! And here's a big hug for good measure, sweet angel.
And for the rest of you little, big and even curmudgeon angels, SD family! :grouphug:

my wife has been texting me a lot from the hospital. she cant sleep. shes very anxious. she refuses to talk to the counselor they sent in or the nurses. One of the nurses came in to help when she was havinga horrible flashback today and tried to do this thing we call a "grounding exercise." I do them all the time with myself and with my wife. i have her name all the blue things in the room, or i say "name 3 sounds you hear" or things like that. we do it for each other when we're having flashbacks. so this nurse said can you name 4 sounds you can hear" or soethingand my wife wouldnt engage at all because she was worried there was a "wrong" answer and a "right" answer and she was scared of giving the wrong answer.
shes up all night telling me she cant sleep and she really really wants to self harm, which shes been doing for 20 years, with razors. same thing over and over. and she doesnt have those where she is so it's extremely hard. this is the sort of thing she'd do at work or when she's with the kids to keep flashbacks at bay, or control her emotions but now she doesnt have that so it's hard for her to have any semblance of coping. plus the eating disorder was the other way she coped. That and exercise, which shes not allowed to do. thankfully she seems to have an easier time praying than i do.
im just scared shes going to go to the other part of the unit eventually where they dont let you have your phone. I can't talk on the phone so texting her is how we communicate. so that is going to be awful.
it's hard hearing her talk about the self harm but i chose to email her psychiatrist and tell him that she's feeling this way because i really dont want her to injure herself. hoping she isnt angry at me i dont want her to feel betrayed but i feel like i have to do this right now im not going to be ale to sleep well if i dont.
I'm so sorry, Ches. Wish I knew something more helpful to say than that.
Would her psychiatrist be able to have any say in whether or not she gets moved to where she can't have her phone? (Or is there another / different one in the hospital who is actually making the final call on her treatment / placement?)

He has attending privileges but doesn't normally work on the eating disorders team
So he'll be an adjunct to the regular treatment team she gets. He said the eating disorders clinic isn't as strict and they can leave phones at the nurses station and have them during some of the breaks
I am just so sorry for this amazing challenge. :pray3:
Ok. So here we are. Poor us.
Good night everyone! Sleep well, please Lord.
Grandson here for a few days while daughter goes into hospital tomorrow morn for C section. She has a daughter who is able to watch over sisters, but is not so good with 10 year old brother. So tomorrow my other daughter is coming with all 7 for a visit and drop off her son who is same age as grandson already here. Both grandsons will stay tomorrow night together. They will enjoy this I'm sure. I'm rich. I know this. Thanks God.
Yahoo! Bedtime in 3 hours. Busy, but very good day.
Please pray, daughter and her miracle baby stuggling. Most critical is the sugar levels for baby. After four miscarriages, 3 requiring labor delivery, daughter after 9 years has finally brought a child to term. This is her 5th full term child, but daughter lost tremendous amount of blood and baby's sugar levels very unstable after 10 hrs. Please take a moment for an Ave for our 9.7 pound miracle baby. Ambrose.
Oh, I'm so sorry! :pray3: :pray2: :pray1:
Yes Dymph, we thought going full term was going to assure a trouble free delivery. Silly us. But we believe this will work out.

Thank you, my sweet friends. Baby sugar up into more normal range, thank God!!! Was very disturbed by this, but your intercession provided much more confidence. Mom very hopeful it will now stay up. Me, too. Thanks again.
Go to bed now open. Come, share a celebratory shot of whatever with me!

This calls for Champagne! Or maybe a couple shots of Tequila! :lol: I'm so happy for you all! Now for prayers of thanksgiving. You said Mom lost alot of blood. Is she doing alright. I'm sure now with the baby doing well she can breathe again. But no adverse effects from the delivery? :grouphug: :beer: :pray3:

Haha funny. My neighbor next door always shows me his chicken soup recepie he got from a Jew when I try to tell him how the soup is made.
Isn't the formula / effectiveness due to the combo of onion, carrot, celery for an antioxidant effect? And it's all simmered in bone broth. Idk. I'm always open to a good chicken soup recipe!
How are you tolerating that, Martin?

Don't forget the garlic!
Being allergic to onion, intolerant of garlic, not so much the powders, but fresh...forget it. But, broth without these healing ingredients is STILL good for you. Just not as tasty!

Isn't the formula / effectiveness due to the combo of onion, carrot, celery for an antioxidant effect? And it's all simmered in bone broth. Idk. I'm always open to a good chicken soup recipe!
How are you tolerating that, Martin?
Very well by instead of onions I use chives. Carrots, celery, celeriac, zuccini, yellow or butternut squash or acorn, fennel bulb, parsley, dill and few other things. Nutritious and delicious.
PS: the chickens story needs a good ending. Old MacDonald had a farm eieio....an on that farm he had a cow...eieio
I'm here, for anyone looking for their mama! Mary, you around? Guess Dymph and hubby are off to the circus. Maybe we should wait for her to continue our story. Gee, wonder what the old Amish man did with those birds. I'm sure Dymph knows. :)
This year, Brother Aamon knew there was something different in the roostchicks, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was. They just seemed more, "dare I even think it", he thought to himself? They seemed more robust! There, the word is out there. Now, what to do about it? I can't have...err...umm...THOSE kinds of roostchicks. I'm just a humble Amish farmer. I'm sure the Lord is telling me that something has to be done. But what? I don't know of anything that would have made such a dramatic change in them, much less how to fix it. And that's when he heard it. Someone was... gulp... of all things, singing!! About that time the new Mennonite farm hand, Martin, came walking into the barn. Singing! "Old MacDonald had a farm, eieio..." :whistling: :grin:
Anyway, Martin, a secret Catholic, had a tummy ache, so the delightful ancient Amish farmer took pity on this poor young man, chopped the head off the chicken, had the mrs. clean and boil chicky, until she had a fine chicky broth. She made her way down to her moldy root cellar, found some delightfully moldy, mushy onions, potatoes, and a touch of Amish dirt, just a tad mind you, and whipped up her famous.... through out the Amish countryside.... antibiotic, antiparasite, antiyeast, anti all bad things...............ANTI-CATHOLIC.......ANTI-POPERY........broth. Tempted as Martin was to try this wonder cure.....
ETA...take it away, Dymph.....Mary....Per.....Munda.....Lynne....Martin.....Ches.......Lydia.....anyone
Go to bed....later. Not now.
Dymph, don't we have a story to continue?
Indeed we do, Miss Carleen.
As sick as Martin was, he still knew this delicious smelling broth, which tempted him greatly, was a curse, not a cure for him. He profusely thanked the Amish couple for their kindness, but he really had to get to the local hospital before he would allow anything else to get into his stomach he explained. As he walked across the yard to get to the little dirt road that had inexplicably brought him here, he turned for one last glance and was quite shocked to see all the remaining roostchicks lined up on the side of the coop with 1 wing lifted high in the air, as if to salute him. Then he heard the rooster crow, "Farewell, young Martin! Thank you for bringing us happiness with your songs, before we fulfill our destiny. Godspeed young Martin!" And as painful as it was, young Martin couldn't help but raise his hand high to bid them farewell. And now to find a true cure, he thought to himself, as he pulled his collar up to stop the north wind from battering him as he walked to town.
NEXT!! :tinfoil:

....with sadness in his heart he trudged along remembering his sweet time spent with those crazy roostchicks, the smell of the antibiotic, anti catholic bone broth still clinging to his nose hair. That poor Amish couple, trying to do good for him. They meant well. Little did they know, he slipped a few green scapulars here and there around the farm, when their backs were turned. A sweet and hopeful smile spread across his noble, emaciated, though still handsome face. The cold North wind took his breath away as he trudged on, singing in perfect pitch....."Swing lo, sweet chariot...." ....

Ok, maybe I will GTB. Maybe.
Yep. I'm done in. GOOD NITE ALL! Sleep well. See you tomorrow! A new day!

I agree Munda. I love that St Joseph has a loving hand on Our Lady's shoulder like this. I've never seen that before. Also that he isn't portrayed as an old man. I wish I could remember where I got it.
7:40. Open the @#$/ door! Oh....it is open. WHO LEFT THE DOOR OPEN LAST NIGHT????? Dymph?
Hey! How come I'm the first and well, only one on the list?? Hmmm? Oh alright. Yes, it was me. I'm sorry and promise to be more watchful in the future, Miss Carleendiane. :-[

Now it's MY turn to make sure the door is closed. Do you know why I have it open right now? This late, with snow pelting down? Because one of our little furry friends brought a mouse home as a gift for us. Isn't that thoughtful?! :-\
I'll close it as soon as DH scoot the little critter out.
So, I've been in go to bed mode ALL day. Yes siree, Bob! I've had my pillow in mind all day. Not that I didn't get anything done, but geesh, I had to overcome the siren's call. Should have used earplugs. But...the laundry got done, and the kitchen cleaned. About to go out and do it again! The kitchen, I mean. My dog is lucky he got fed today!
Going in tomorrow morn for gall bladder scan. No morning coffee. Scheduled for 9:30. Heck, if I can get out of bed! But i'll manage as always. Besides, getting up at 6:30 will be like old times! The hospital has a great coffee shop in it. I will reward myself with a great cup of coffee for completing this exercise of heroic virtue. The virtue lies in keeping my appointment! :lol:

8k. Go to bed is ready for you. Blankets turned down. BUT WAIT!!!!! It's not even 7:30 yet. You want to meet Dymphna in the 4:00 thread. Well, of course not. 10 is a safe time to turn in. Yep. 10.
Ok. So go to bed. It's surely time. I'm heading to my pillow. Long day. Glad it's done!! G-nite all. If you're gonna dream, I hope they are sweet! God bless.
I have a kind of running diary on my PC (where I work more than on my Kindle or non-existent smart phone). Should I just keep a new thread going here, "Non Nobis' Diary"?

Conversation starter:
8:12, time to consider what to wear to bed. Must be comfy. Who needs it to be particularly attractive? I mean, it does no good. No matter what I wear, pretty or ugly I wake up looking the same. Wild bedhead. Wrinkled. Messy. Why put on something lovely when you wake up looking like something the dog dragged in. I ask you. Does that even make sense?
Open for comments.
Closed now. Too late.
G-nite Per, Dymph, Lynne, Ches, Martin, Gardener, Laus in Russia by now, Scowler, Livenot, Habitual R., Kaese, Trump,
Non, Lydia, Lynne, Servus...good morning, Mikemac, Regina, Sojourn, Jacob, etc..... G-nite all.
Remember...what you wear to bed is of no significance. We all wake up looking basically the same. Bedhead, wrinkles.
See you for coffee in the morning!

Oh Ches, praying she is out soon, but not too soon. You need her well. The boys, too. God bless you all. And your kind mother!
Going to bed as soon as I can tonight! Yep, totally excited about it too! Really. Not joking. Give me one good reason to stay up.
Headed that way, myself. I think I'll actually sleep in bed tonight. We'll see how that goes and then maybe try it again tomorrow. Get a whole trend going! Sweet dreams all, and may your angels keep any distractions at bay while you rest up for another day to spend battling for Our Lord! :pray3:

Now THERE'S the making of a good tomorrow! Yay Hubby! ;) :)
So ... it's officially Ash Wednesday morning on my side now. & since it's Valentine's Day as well, my heart is weirdly excited to meet the Divine Spouse of my soul later at Mass .. Gonna make this whole Lenten season a seriously intimate season between me & Him alone. It's gonna be romantic. ;) :pray2:
My dear Servus, your talk of romance is lovely. I wish my heart felt so inclined. I am stuck in a more practical love. Do my duty well. Bear my burdens well. Sacrifice pleasures with a joyful heart and in my spare time, hopefully meditate on the Good Lord and all the blessings he has given me. Pray like my life depends upon it and try hard to place my burdens in His hands. And leave them there. Do penance I deserve and ponder heavens promises which I do not deserve.
My bed keeps beckoning to me. I try to resist, but my bed is stronger than my will. What a bed I have :-\ Don't even get me going on my pillow. They really are in cahoots to get me to conk out too early. Then, they both wake me up at 4 and that makes me a wee bit ornery. Quite a dilema. Am I the only one bullied by my bed?
Has anybody watched Shaun White win gold in snowboard halfpipe on his last run. I think the Japanese dude was better but it was very close.
Going to bed. Today not so good, although I managed to go to adoration and pray for you. :)
Yep. Open. On my way to bed. Early appointment. Make yourself comfy. Turn lights off. Lock door behind you.

Turning in early. Late nights, due to insomnia, are sucking the energy, big time. Might have a wee little drink...or two, and go to bed. Hopefully tonight is my lucky nite and I won't be roaming the halls at 1:00.

I myself would call it konking out if things end of happening that way. ;D I don't usually count sheep or see logs, but I might have weird dreams. Some are just too good to be true. Now that you mention medicine, that reminds me that I need to take some Nyquil sooner or later to safeguard from allergies.

Try 2.5-5mg of melatonin an hour before projected bed time. Or, 50mg of diphenhydramine (Benadryl). Or, if you're like me, both.

No. I meant to protect from seasonal nasal allergies. But thank you for the prayers though. :D I don't like getting allergies, but they last about one to two weeks if I do get them. We may have to change the filter of our a/c/heat unit soon again too.

Yeah, it's me, and you know that's ^^ a big fat lie. Not just a big lie, but a big, FAT lie. I'm typing and snoring at the same time. Zzzzzzzzzzzz ...
Dear Dymph, I feel your pain! Torn between heavy eyelids & using all your might to fight the sleepiness ... It's a tug of war. If body drags you to sleep, just give in. You need a good & sweet rest, after all. Rise early, head to bed early. :lol:
Servus, yes it's too late for a drink. Really, you want me up 4x ridding myself of the extra fluids?
Dymph, hay is sneaky stuff. Don't be afraid to hit it. We make it while the sun shines and hit it after dark!!
G-nite my friends. It's late and time for me to tuck in. See you tomorrow. We'll have a cup and talk over old times. Or, not so old times. Whatever. May your angels watch over you both. And all the rest of the sleeping souls around here!
Alright ... A good nitey nite to my dear SD family then. See you all tonight!! (according to my side here, that is ... lol.) God bless your dreams. :D :seeya:

What a cool way of thinking about that, Servus. "God bless your dreams." It's crazy, but I've never thought about it like that and I've dealt with nightmares and night terrors all my life. God
could bless our dreams. Thanks Servus!
Getting in THAT mode again. Yep, bedtime mode. Not much I can do to fight it. Just gonna have to let my head do its thing. If it says go to bed, then I'm only good for a couple more hours. Then it wins. At least I have been sleeping better. There's that. For which I am grateful. :) Join me for a nite-cap?
Oh! My daughter hubby baby coming to live in the little house on our property. Hubby has new job. They will be buying a house in this direction! Now I will have the chance to really get to know baby Lidya. Yep. Makes me happy!
I'm so happy for you! Of course your head is lulling toward bed. You are having dreams of a sugar plum baby, dancing in your head! Pass me the Svedka and a lemon please.
Can you believe this sweet (but mischievous) face turned 2 yo today?

She doesn't look a day over 18 months. And of course, because she is My Goddaughter, she is the holiest 2 year old around, extremely intelligent, and beautiful beyond compare! :lol: She is a real sweetie from what I understand.
Now that^^^^^^^^is a beautiful little girl. But, I must say?..beautiful beyond compare??? I'm here to tell you that, and my whole family agrees....my last three grandkids are the standard for beauty. The bar is high my dear Dymph. Don't want to rain on your "she's my God daughter" parade but WE set the bar. Just sayin. :rofl:
Open, now ! Hurry, never know when we'll close up.
Joking. We'll be open for at least another hour. Had champagne tonight celebrating birthdays of choir members. Was great. Don't know how these guys made it down our flooded road.
Can't sleep.. my mind won't calm down icabt relax
I didn't visit my wife today because they said I needed a day to rest... Well my body rested but my mind never rests
something feels like it's poking my leg
I am...going to bed that is! G-nite all. Sweet dreams. Say no to bad ones.
Goodnight, CD!
Good night Carleen and Kephapaulos and anyone who is not fast asleep.

A belated good night, NN!
Good morning to all!
Good night my good friends and SD family. Been a long day here. Though I spent it doing exactly what I wanted, helping my Katie get settled in with baby and hubby, I am quite tired and hope tomorrow will be a bit easier on me. Though it was tiring, I spent a great deal of time with baby Lidya, and will treasure those precious hours.Thanks God!
Good night to the early turner inners, For the big kids around here.....cheers! Just tipping one up to a good night's sleep! Had a lot of baby time today. Poor mom a and baby are pretty miserable with a nasty virus. Came sick and no better yet. Hoping they both get some rest tonight.
Now, about that baby....remember what the glow bug toy looked like? That is Lidya. She is much cuter, but still a glow bug. Even with her nasty cold. Plus she is teething and her little tongue is always massaging her gums. It looks so cute. Did I say she's adorable? Will post a pic when hubby takes some. You will love her. Promise. By the way, the other two grandsons are not so newish and starting to get a bit of personality. Its baby central around here. Yep. I'm rich. Richer than rich. My hubby is so taken with little Lidya, he can't stop buying things for her. He's not really the type to go ga-ga over a baby, but to him, Lidya has such an adorable personality (she's almost 7 months) and doesn't make strange. Hubby will sit with her and play his harmonica until his lips are chapped, because Lidya likes it. She has him wrapped.
Yes we are! Open, that is. How but a little nip to cure what ails ya! I don't know what ails me but I know something does..so I'm going for the cure! A nip, a cupful of a nip. I'll be feeling fine inow just a nip...I mean bit. Yep. Just a bit and I'll be good as new!
See ya'll in the morn! I'll put the pot on.
Well, it snowed all day. Wasn't all that cold so the flakes were big fluffy ones the snow is wet and it melts on the roads making it very slushy, but it is accumulating invthe yard. Supposed to get 6 inches. Looking out the window is somewhat mesmerizing. A lovely show. At least it WAS. Now it is dark and my pillow is calling to me....but I say NO. Sometimes I just have to put my foot down.Just ignore the sirens call and force myself to read or whatever. It's too early to go to bed. Felt like napping at five. Now THAT was ridiculous. I'm not all that old yet....am I? No. Not yet.
All right now I can answer the siren's call. It is a respectable time to turn in. May God bless your sleep. No bad dreams. No bathroom calls. No restless legs. Just sweet sleep. Tomorrow, God willing, will be here before we know it. May we all meet the day refreshed and eager to try yet again, to improve, even a tiny bit. G-nite!
7:08. Evening. Mild tonight... yesterday's snow has started to melt. Flooding has been a tough issue this year. For a while both ends of our road was under more than a foot of water, trapping us in. You needed a truck or high suv to get through without wrecking your engine!
Anyway...OPEN now!
Well... it's not bedtime, but it is evening, so that means come in, make yourself comfy and help your self to a cuppa or a shotta.
OK so...... so.......so what? Really, so tell me....what?
Warm lemonade with a shot of brandy please. How is it possible for the brain to want to sleep so bad but the body refuses? That is just not right I tell you. I'm just too obsessed with my new project. Well, 2 weeks doesn't constitute new, now does it? Back to it I go! Supp with u all? Good day, bad day, other kind of day?
Ok, so.....hitting the hay early....say, 10ish. Hopefully I'll get to sleep all night tonight. And I hope the same for all you insomniacs! You know who you are. We'really gonna do it tonight, right? Right. In the meantime I am drinking my sleeping med right now. Pretty tasty, actually. *slurp*
Stu has met Greg. One which I would love to meet. Not quite sure why.Probably because he is a bit of a mystery to me. But then....he is not the only one on this forum. Would love to meet Ches. Yes, you Ches. Probably my first actual friend on this forum. And I owe that to PTSD, right Ches? Funny, that!
I want to meet everyone! It would be nice if we could all meet at St. Peter's Basilica and make Pope Francis wonder why there's a group that calls itself Suscipe Domine around and wants to act like a bunch of "Pelagians" with priests who wear cassocks like his Jesuit order. ;D

Our rosary beads would probably sound like Jacob Marley's ghostly chains from A Christmas Carol. Maybe we could scare him straight. Yes, I have a bit of an evil streak.

Count me in...I just won't look up at all the neckkedness on the ceilings. Lol! But, I'll enter on my knees, wearing my veil, and chanting quietly the liturgy of the hours. If that is even a thing. It will sound very archaic anyway! No one there would know the difference....except the giggling trads as I make my way. Ha....on my knees.....in my dreams. Haven't been on my knees for 18 years! Oh...I meant the dour faced trads.
("here I hover by & wonder why this thread has been a little silent. Seems like Carleen hasn't arrived yet. But never mind ... ")
Go to bed is OPEN, folks!! It's time to avoid the bed!! Servus from sunny Singapore is ready for bedtime stories :D (wait, it's technically morning here ...)
I have no stories. But I am here. Lovely job you did opening up!!!!! My pillow beckons, but I dare not. Too soon, too soon, I say.
Oh it is my pleasure. It's my duty in fact :lol:
Here I am sitting in the surgery clinic, waiting to behold the counternance of the doctor who would do my endoscopy. How much I wish to meet you, dear Carleen! Just imagine the possibilities!! (but alas, alas ... I am resigned to stay here until I win the lottery or something ...) I know your pillow beckons, but at least ... Hold my hand in spirit, alright? :grouphug:
P.S: quick shoutout to Kepha. I see you!!! :seeya: I am just literally bored here, haha.
I hope the endoscopy goes well. May they eradicate the ailment!
Kepha....how did it work out for you today at bank? :hide: :cheer:
Open up, right now!! Ok. Open. Sometimes you just have to be stern!
Things were normal again at the bank. I made sure to be more careful. Thank you for your prayers.

G-nite. Love you guys!
Please pray I can sleep tonight. Been so much on my heart and mind, plus not been well, but that means so little contrasted with my dear poor dying brother and my recently deceased SIL. Plus I am always pining the loss of my Andy. I know there are crosses, but then there are CROSSES that need carrying too. Offering up these sorrows for many of my SD friends. Especially Quo, and she knows why.
:pray1: :pray2: :pray3:
Stay strong, Carleen! :grouphug:
Just firing up the thread. Brother smiles works hard to communicate. At least going in the right direction! Thanks, God.
They give Tom 2 days. Please pray he gets last rites. He has brain cancer.
That is terrible. I've got prayers going St Joseph, patron of the dying. :pray3: :pray2: :pray1:
:pray1: :pray1: :pray1: :'( :pray2:
My priest found a priest to attend to last rites. Deo Gratias!
Going to bed early. G-nite all. Please remember my brother in your prayers. :pray3:

Oh don't credit me for THAT. Would just be wrong. There are issues brewing as to exactly where hospice should be set up. God's will be done. The family will not allow an issue to divide us. What will be will be.
Yes, thank you for THAT. Did anyone else track a Priest down for your Brother? No, YOU are concerned about his eternal soul. So, credit you, I will. ;) Stay strong, Dear. Take a ride on the struggle bus if need be. You will make it alright. :grouphug:

My thoughts too! Carleen, God bless your brother and you.
A few lucid moments today. My brother, the one whose wife just died.....coming to attend to his dying brother. God bless him! Coming from New Mexico. Will be here Saturday afternoon. At the rate things are going Tom will probably still be with us. Hopefully, occassionally lucid. That may be hoping for too much. But still, I will be with all my siblings. God has been so kind throughout this terrible ordeal. Praying around his bed with family. A beautiful thing.
Home now. Truly exhausted, but grateful beyond measure. G-nite, my good friends. The job is done, with help from all. I will sleep well tonight. So will Thomas Joseph Brcic, died at 1:38 pm, feast day of Joseph of Aramithea.
Sorry for your loss Carleen
I am sorry, Carleendiane. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace. :pray3:
Thank you Ches, Regina. My heart is a bit lighter. Funny thing is, after last few moments, and just before last breath, my sister leaned over him and said, Tom....I know you loved me more than Carleen. The whole family was reduced to blubbering tearful laughter. Oh, all the prayers had been prayed, but that moment was like cement to our family. Then of course we made a big joke out of many things and sent him off with more smiles than tears. God knows us and may have allowed that release because it's what we've always done...laughed more than cried.
I'm so sorry, Carleendiane. :( Requiescat in pace. :pray1:
Thank you Kepha, today my heart is very heavy.
The images of suffering, that suffering naturally associated with death, are stamped forever in my mind. I've been to the bedside of a dying person before. But only for a part of the process. I've never walked a loved one through to the end. He suffered alone, for the most part, for 2 months before his collapse. He spent two months alone in his apartment laying on his couch. 2 brothers, and 1 sister checked in on him periodically at first, then daily after it was apparent that he was extremely ill. Still refusing medical help, though emaciated, the family attempted to care for him as well as he would allow. Which was not much. By the time he was found unconscious, he was desperately ill. He had deep bed sores and was all but dead. But he rallied and had tremendous gratitude for help. While still in apartment, he was hoping to just die, but upon being stablized, seemed to regret neglecting to get care. Too far gone for recovery he immediately used his lucid moments to ask forgiveness from those he hurt most. He cried as he spoke to his sons, his ex wife...a wonderful woman, his siblings. He had 10 days from collapse to death. Received his sacraments, and tried to put a little order to his last days.
So, yeah, this was a fast and terrible (painfilled) death. But a true honor to participate in. The joy of having him finally reconcile with God is impossible to convey with words. My brother did not live a noble life. But.....he died a very noble death. He suffered unspeakably, even with pain med and anxiety meds. He cried tears of regret about his life, but not tears associated with physical suffering. He shed a few tears a couple minutes before he died. As we all will. Never have I witnessed and assisted the entire process of death, and never will I regret it. Thanks be to God.
So, just gonna do it. Gonna sleep. Hopefully well. And I hope the same for all of you, God willing.
Oh....Dymph....meant to tell you....hospice care was moved from the sticks back to town. All issues resolved, if you know what I mean. As soon as lungs started filling up they (brother and SIL) knew much more oversight was needed. No more struggle over precious meds. Though, I must say, their use of pain med was never so much that they interfered with lucidity. No games played with his remaining days or hours. Again, thanks be to God. I was concerned about that.
Carleen, this is further proof that we always have hope. I remember hearing stories as a kid about how God always provides for His children and we have to have hope in that. As with my Mom's situation where a Priest in Ireland was able to contact a Priest making his circuit rounds, just as he was passing by the small town my Mom was living in! I didn't even know what town that was at the time! But Father found out and God provided her with a happy, Catholic death. I can't tell you how happy I am that your Brother was reconciled with the Church. You know that the Angels sang that day! Deo Gratias!
And to have him moved so you all didn't have to be out in the sticks is icing on the cake, as they say. Not only was your dear Brother taken care of, so were all of you! You know, in times like these, with the world literally going to hell in a hand basket, it does our hearts good to hear about things like this. God does provide. :grouphug: :cheeseheadbeer:
Going early tonight... at least hoping to. We will see, huh? Still tired, but working on that.
Ok. Late . Going. Gnite.
Oh darn, I missed you. You must be exhausted after everything you have been through lately. If you don't mind me asking, when is your Brother's funeral. We will pray for safe travels for everyone whatever the day. Get some rest. :grouphug:
Oh, and happy 300th page in this thread!!! WOO HOO! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :grouphug:

Dymph, I'm a wee bit sad Servus did not hop on this. She has become our unofficial confetti/party thrower, but you've done a FINE job picking up her slack. You hear me SERVUS? We are not at all mad, just a little surprised. But then my poor girl has not been well, so we understand.

Dear Red, I'm sure you have seen Ches's post in prayer requests. Your concern for him, it seems, was well justified. Thank you for dropping in. Good man.
Got in from up North this afternoon. Happy to be home. Putsed around until the evening, now I am in crash mode. As of this evening, I have lost my control mode. It served me well last week, and at funeral but it has cracked and tears abound. I feel so very sad, but with all the many blessings during this trial, I am actually comforted by the memories. By the image of the family wiping Tom's face, cooling him down, 105 temp, holding his hands, whispering sweet words in his ear, kissing his hot head and hands, sneaking food into a vacant room (we HAD to eat something) so he would not smell it, since he could have none, and recalling stories about him within his earshot. Seeing a smile flit across his face and feeling my hand grasped by him, while seemingly unconcious. And at the very end we gave him messages for mom and SIL Vicki...and reminding him things to ask mom when he saw her. Silly, and laughable, but that's my big crazy family. We were crying and waving goodbye like a bunch of loons. But none of us will soon forget Tom's bedside shenanigans, well, our behavior, not his : ) :'( Hopefully the memories will console my brother during his painful purgation. But....it was all worth every tear, every speck of exhaustion, every messy clean up, and there were many, every ounce of stress, and there was oceans......all that, in exchange for seeing my most troubled brother reconciled with sons, ex wife, and most important, his God. Thank you dear Lord.
You & the whole family has worked hard to give the very best (& blessed) send-off for dear Tom, & I am sure Tom will appreciate those tears of love, those great oceans of love up in spirit with God. Sending my most sincere condolences & spiritual support in this time of crashing. :grouphug: :pray1: :pray2: :pray3:
Than you, dear Servus!
So, bedtime is creeping up, and I will not fight it. Not tonight. Still working on catching up in the sleep department. Need a few more good night's under my belt. The exhaustion was not about the work involved with taking care of brother, but more in the sleepless nites, and the emotional drain. Which, again, I'd do all over again, in a heartbeat. But, tired I am, catching up I am,. Made it to confession. Thank God! Going to future DIl's home to have dinner with her parents, tomorrow after Mass. Delightful people, so looking forward to an afternoon with them. God bless you all. Hope you behaved in my absence! ???? Love you guys. Your prayers helped sustain us. Thank you! CD
9:00. Sweeeet, just a couple more hours and I am on my way!!!! Well of course, it's all about ME, doncha know? I do hope a good night's sleep for all, except Servus. To Servus I wish a beautiful Mass, and a breakfast she can digest properly, and no signs of indigestion. Dear Lord, please heal that poor girl's tummy. :grouphug: :pray3:
Sweet dreams, dear friend. You have earned a good night's rest. You have been through an emotional wringer. You don't come out of the other side of that without crashing for a bit. I hope and pray you will bounce back from it without too many repercussions. Absorb all the lessons learned, love given, and love received, slough off any bad or hurtful feelings. :grouphug: :pray3:
We went to KC today and bought a new refrigerator. Wow! Is it ever nice! It's going to be fun to decided where to put everything. All kinds of drawers to decide where everything goes. Plus there will actually be room for it all! It's supposed to be delivered Thursday or Friday. I'm like a little kid at Christmas. Can't wait! :lol:
Good morning! Holy week. Let's go crazy and make some commitments for the week. I know I want to do things that will help me to join in on our Lords suffering. Plus go out of my way to be helpful to others. I don't want this week to pass like any other week. I won't attend any NO services, so I'm on my own there.
Oops. Wrong thread!
Yep, on my way. Won't regret turning in at a decent time. Nope. Not one bit. G-NITE ALL!
Getting closer to my favorite time of the night! Sleep, dear blessed sleep. I used to do so much in the evenings, now I only think about my pillow. Boy, have I ever changed. Now I am a slug and anything I happen to produce during a good day, is a big Harry deal. Anyway, today was very stressful for various reasons. My nerves get totally wacked out when stressed. I cry easily, and am very brittle emotionally. Anyone else like this? Would love a cure. Was always very even keel, even with stress. Now I just want to bury my head and....yep, cry. I hate the new me. God has his hands full with me. Poor God.
And on that sorry note, I say good nite. Hoping a good nite sleep for all. God bless my friends here.
Thread is now open! Nothing exciting about that...but post anyway. Could use a wee bit of distraction from continuing morose and useless thoughts. Thoughts about what is NOT happening...my Andy. My brother, who is not. My father who is struggling his way through his end years. Yep, my head could use a few pleasant distractions.
But what IS happening...all local family members will be together for Easter. Found out my little Lidia is not 15 pounds, at 7 months. Yep just a wee little package, but healthy as can be. Just had her checked out and not a thing to report of a negative nature, other than she is just very petite, which is not a negative at all.. She is even starting to talk. She now says mama. Working on dada. Beginning to stand up. Every single day, she brings me immense joy. Ambrose is finally getting better. Cough subsiding. He had me very concerned, but seems to be recovering. For that, I am exceedingly grateful. : D
3.10 AM: lights are off, everyone is asleep ... Yet here I am in bed, unable to sleep ... My pillow is soaked as I cannot stop weeping over how few truly love Our Lord & there so, so, so many sinners who reject of His love ... i think of the "tranagender" people & my poor friend ... Their souls! Their poor souls! Yet I am a sinner too ... Who would stay by Jesus at the foot of the cross? Just who will console His heart so grieved & so offended? Just who?
(sorry i know this is some random giberish rambling but just can't sleep.)

Well, Servus, if the theif is good and accompanies Our Dear Lord, then maybe you and I can too. I want to join you, sinner that I am, at the foot of the cross. I want to take His place before the Sanheidrin. Before the chief priests, but I'm afraid. I will fail, beg for mercy, instead of silence. Yes I want to accompany Him, but I am a weakling. I cringe from my measly crosses. But, still, if I could only wipe His face. His holy face, as I kneel on my two useless knees, I know I will be healed of my cowardice, of my corrupt nature. If you and I could just stand at the foot of the cross along with His sweet mother, His holy blood would fall on us too, His punctured lungs and heart would sprinkle us, convert us and make us saints. Instead, I sit in my home, on my comfy couch, or lie in my luxurious ordinary bed, and beg for His glance, for His mercy. There He is, suffering so, and all I do is beg for His graces, His presence in my life. Still, still, I want to join you, Servus, such as I am. I'm afraid to traverse any other path, other than the way of the cross.
So, may I join you as you comfort our suffering Lord? I would truly like that.
Please, come on in. Make yourself at home. Having dinner with our dear Lord. It's His last supper. And I, like His chosen companions will doze while he sheds great drops of blood as He agonizes over what is to come. I will be well rested, because I am too weak to agonize with Him. But He knows this and forgives me anyway. Poor Jesus, I could not even watch one hour with him. Yet, he invites me to accompany Him. He knew I would fail, yet asks me anyway. Now, after the fact, I lament my weakness, and beg to be made a better disciple of my Lord. Please Lord.
Well, guess what Carleen: it's Good Friday morning now on my side in Singapore, so things has sped up by 1 day ^_^" Our Lord has held His supper with His apostles & now hangs on the cross for the love of sinners like you & I... When i get to afternoon liturgy later, I'm gonna give Him a dear kiss on His feet - albeit I am all but just a sinner ... But how wonderful that I have a loving Spouse who loves my soul still!
(P.S: I slept at 5 am & parents were not entirely happy ... But I'm fine now.)

Thank you Kepha, today my heart is very heavy.
The images of suffering, that suffering naturally associated with death, are stamped forever in my mind. I've been to the bedside of a dying person before. But only for a part of the process. I've never walked a loved one through to the end. He suffered alone, for the most part, for 2 months before his collapse. He spent two months alone in his apartment laying on his couch. 2 brothers, and 1 sister checked in on him periodically at first, then daily after it was apparent that he was extremely ill. Still refusing medical help, though emaciated, the family attempted to care for him as well as he would allow. Which was not much. By the time he was found unconscious, he was desperately ill. He had deep bed sores and was all but dead. But he rallied and had tremendous gratitude for help. While still in apartment, he was hoping to just die, but upon being stablized, seemed to regret neglecting to get care. Too far gone for recovery he immediately used his lucid moments to ask forgiveness from those he hurt most. He cried as he spoke to his sons, his ex wife...a wonderful woman, his siblings. He had 10 days from collapse to death. Received his sacraments, and tried to put a little order to his last days.
So, yeah, this was a fast and terrible (painfilled) death. But a true honor to participate in. The joy of having him finally reconcile with God is impossible to convey with words. My brother did not live a noble life. But.....he died a very noble death. He suffered unspeakably, even with pain med and anxiety meds. He cried tears of regret about his life, but not tears associated with physical suffering. He shed a few tears a couple minutes before he died. As we all will. Never have I witnessed and assisted the entire process of death, and never will I regret it. Thanks be to God.
see... that is my worst fear....to be on my deathbed and be a blubering mess like i often am these days
it is one thing for a woman to be this way but not becoming ofa man. we all have read the stories about the martyrs and about how the went into the collosseum singing they didnt cry or anything, they just stared death down. i often worry that my sons are getting the worst example of manhood and fatherhood because they see their father cry a lot. whereas my father never cried. sometimes when he would punish us he would give extra spankings if I cried. so nothing good can come of that. Then once i caught him crying alone after his own father died and i remember going in there with a box of tissues and just left it there and left the room. i'm surprised he didnt beat my butt right then and there.
even though jesus cried, it is still not acceptable for Catholic men to cry. i think most traditional catholic boys grow up about the same way as i did, with the same ingrained shame about crying. then something life threatening happens and we can't help ourselves and it's even worse because what are these things coming from my eyes this isnt supposed to be happening. i often wonder if my punishments in the afterlife will be worse if i cry in this life

Well, I grew up in a home where crying is forbidden, even as I was a girl & now a lady .... but genuinely, it is alright to cry. It is part-&-parcel of being a human. & no, what kind of God who will punish His loved ones for simply shedding a tear? Rather as St. Padre Pio once said:
"Tears are collected by the angels and are placed in a gold chalice and you will find them when you present yourself before God." Keeping you in my prayers today & always. :grouphug: :pray1: :pray2: :pray3:

Dear Ches, your tears are nothing to be ashamed of. They flow quite naturally....with pain, loss, severe heartache. So,why do they flow so easily? In my opinion, just opinion, we respond physically to those events mentioned above. Well duh...yes we need to control them in many circumstances. But, your father could not have stopped them, upon his father's death, any easier than you could upon wife's hospitalization, the births of your sons, any losses you may have suffered, or during the agonies you are forced to endure. No matter what you have been told, tears have their place, or God would not have made them so involuntary in so many situations. Our tears are an antidote to stress in may many situations.
Do you truly believe what you've been told? That they are wrong and not part of the human condition? Some of our emotions can be inappropriate to the occassion, but that does NOT mean they do not have place in our lives. You are no longer a boy, needing to be trained to be tough, emotionally. I think you learned THAT lesson. You are now a man...somehow, despite your family's best efforts, you have not lost the art of a good cry. Sometimes, not always, but sometimes the tears of another speak so much louder than their words. Tears can melt a heart and convey the depth of hurt or pain. Being so very powerful, tears that is, of course they are to be saved for the most appropriate times. Yet...that being said, it seems our tears are not completely within our control. So, if they flow, despite our best efforts, let them. I know my best efforts are not always necessary. I do not have to analyze each time tears flow. Each time my heart is moved, or each time the pain or joy, even, makes my eyes flow. God gave watery eyes for a reason. And it is not to distinguish the men from the boys.
Oh, forgot, go to bed is very open. Bring me.......um.....a drink.

i dont punish my sons for having emotions (like a lot of parents do, in not so subtle ways like spanking them for crying or subtle ways like time outs for tantrums). i do remember my father used to tell people in our family that I would go through dialysis treatments when I was 2 or 3 without shedding a tear...well sure, I was probably scared out of my mind that i'd be punished for it
there are a lot of women who will say it is OK for men to feel emotions but, women don't define what masculinity means... a woman can be a completely safe person to cry with (my wife is very safe although i'd rather die than cry in front of my mom) but with other men it's different. It's unacceptable--culturally, for catholic men. it just is. it doesn't matter if someone died or you're about to die or you're in pain--unacceptable. that's just the culture.

Not being a man, this seems to me so wrong on many levels. This has been your experience, obviously a Jewish thing as well as a manly trad thing. It is strange to me. In my family, my dad cried. Not often, but he never said a word if his sons cried over serious matters. Of course whining was one thing that was dealt with, but appropriate times, funerals, serious pain...not just a skinned knee, even great joyful moments, no one got a talking to for shedding a tear.
My dad was known for a somewhat volatile temper. Spankings were common, and even face slaps, belts. But....that was an out of control temper. Funny, but he never had a problem with what I call appropriate response to a sad event. And again....a highly joyful event. Yes, he scared us, but he also loved us. He was out of control when it came to temper and handling his irritations. Yet, in this one particular area, he was able to express sorrow in a natural manner. He did not ever define man behaviour as one that does not cry. Certainly, he was not mushy. Or soft. Did not like to deal with the willy nilly emotions of children and teenagers. But....sorrows, death, births, were reacted to in a natural fashion. So many out of control behaviors in my dad, but very natural when it came to tears.
When my brother Tom died, a few weeks ago (already?), Every brother of mine, 5 now, shed tears. Every one. Tom's son cried. Well the women, they sobbed, And we all shed tears for days. We laughed at the good and funny memories, and all of us teared up at those same memories. Dad was a real corker, but he managed to do a few things right. My brothere are all masculine men, in every sense, and they don't consider a tear contrary to their manhood.
Dad might not have been very good with a sensitive child that needed a little extra care. Probably not.
Happy Easter Eve. Going to bed! God bless you!
Probably won't be checking out for a couple more hours, so may as well relax and read book, or peruse today's posts on SD. Seem to have caught up from Easter activities. Always use first day after a big event for R&R. Next day, I really get to it, get things back in order.Tomorrow is business as usual. God bless.
I am ready for bed! It won't be long now. Night prayers with kids in about 10 minutes. I'm enjoying a glass of wine, and plan to read a little before lights out from my Easter gift: 'Searching for and Maintaining Peace' (where has that book been all my life, anyway?!?!). Overall, a nice day spent with friends. Only a small bit of trauma thrown in there, but it all worked out just fine in the end.
The three year old must've worn himself out something serious today....I gave him a bath about an hour ago, dried him off, and sent him to his room to find pajamas. While I was washing dishes and fixing dinner for the ones waiting for their turn to shower, 13 year old told me to go look in the boys' room (always a risky move, but I listened to her this time)....three year old was passed out, snoring on the floor, still wrapped up in his towel. He didn't quite make it to his pajama drawer ;D Poor guy. I got him dressed and tucked him in. I hope he gets some good rest tonight. We are traveling tomorrow to go visit my Mom for the rest of the week, then on to visit in-laws for the weekend.
Hopefully sleep will find me tonight. He missed the target last night. Found out my Aunt in Montana has been placed with Hospice. Her COPD has taken over and will send her to the Great Beyond soon. I'm praying hard that she will receive Last Rites. She was born and raised Catholic, but became a Protestant later in life. I really, really despise that false religion. It keeps taking people I love. Anyway, please spare an Ave for her, if you wouldn't mind.
Poor Auntie. :pray3: Yes Lord, please bring her HOME.
Time now. Drink poured.....but wait! I have another rosary to say before bed. Hubby at store. Just a few sips until he comes home. Small little ones. Don't wanna slur my rosary, now do I?
I can't seem to keep my eyes open tonight. Does this mean I'll be awake at 3 am? I guess we'll find out. Just as soon as I finish this blueberry muffin. :P
Rosary done, drink being drank, bedtime looms closer. Dymph, may we sleep soundly. Please God. Gonna take benadryl tonight. Just need a little help. Bit low on solid sleep. May we not wake until morning. Dymph, how about a drink with me. May help push you into la-LA land. Although, I see you are already heading in that direction.
Yeah, asleep by 8:00 pm and awake at 1:00 am. yay. Hubby keeps asking me, "Why can't you just be normal?" :laugh: I had to remind him that I was abnormal enough to want him for a Husband, so he shouldn't complain too much about me. And that was the end of that! :lol:
Ladies! I have just got back home sweet home!!! one of the supervisors spearheading the Japanese fair selected me for a full day of volunteering work at the fair & I got the chance to help
1000 tourists & locals young & old to wear yukata!!! They were all so awfully happy when I got them dressed .. Admittedly it was exhausting, but it was very rewarding & fufilling ... I HAVE DONE MY DUTY & THE TIME HAS COMETH FOR ME TO CRASH INTO BED!!!

It must be better than sleeping loose. Right? :shrug:
Hey, Dymph, you out there??? Let's have a wee bit of a drink. It's early and soooooo much time before bed. Hey! I know! Let's play scrabble! Anyone?
I'm here. Got my bottle of Jack in tow. Want a swig?

It's me and you sis, against the disturber of sleep. What ever that is, it's certainly not good. Certainly not.
Going to bed. Trying to avoid the grim sleeper!
It certainly demands attention. I'm working on requilling this shadowbox I've been working on for the 4th time! I've got to go get yet another 12 x 12 sheet to go under it as well as requill the name and a couple of flowers that didn't make the transition. So frustrating! I'm certainly hoping the 'disturber' doesn't use this against me. Everything is good but I've never done letters before and have had to kind of make it up as I go along. Sooner or later I've got to get it right, right? Here's some pictures of some of it:

What do you think?
I think it is beautiful, even not finished. Whoever that is for is gonna love it and love you!!!!
that quill work is amazing! You're doing a great job. Quilling is such a neat hobby. I've never tried it, but it looks like it would be pretty enjoyable.
I'm almost ready for bed. We drove home from my Mom's today. A day earlier than expected, because a couple kids weren't feeling well, and the baby is teething. We were all just really tired, and everyone needs a good night's sleep in their own bed. Husband will be back home next weekend. Can't wait! For now, good night! :pray3:
Thank you Ladies, for the positive feedback on the quilling. It's going on a cool light blue background. I've got some warm blue sheets, but it just doesn't do the trick. So off to Michael's Alan will go tomorrow for me! My head banging won't let me near florescent lights. These projects bring my perfectionism to the front and center of my mind and nothing is ever "good enough", but sooner or later I just have to let it go. There are new techniques I want to try, and I just got a book with some templates in it, so that should be interesting. After this one though, I've got a heart shaped little box and a round little box to work on for my nieces birthdays. I've got to get busy on Sage's anyway (the heart) since her birthday is in May. Sasha's will be a little more difficult , but her birthday is in July so I have a little more time. I guess she LOVES baseball, so I'm going to try to quill some stitches to make the box look like a baseball with the Kansas City Royals insignia. I don't care what anybody says, it's going to have pink stitches!
Sasha invited us to go to her band competition on Monday. She is the first chair playing saxophone. She explained quite matter of factly that that means she's the best in her band class. I don't know if that is just for the saxophone or for the band overall. She's a pretty amazing kid. Not what I expected at all. Both she and Sage are amazing kids. I proudly say that I had a hand in that. We text alot and they call me "Auntie". I just love it. Their :censor: Mother actually did something right in buying a house in one of the best school districts in this area. It's no St Mary's Academy, but it's one that I would have chosen if I HAD to send my kids to public school.
Well, back to shaping paper letters I go! I'm glad you are home Munda. Sometimes it just the place you need to be. Sweet dreams, y'all! :grouphug:
Your daisy and butterfly are just AMAZING!!! Beautiful!
Again, I await that magic hour. Bedtime. Ok. No magic. But.....it does have allure for this tired soul. I keep waking up around 3 and staying awake until almost morning. Hoping I get to sleep all nite tonight. I should probably visit Dymph, or Servus, but instead I just keep on trying to fall back to sleep. I know Dymph goes through this too. Much more than I. I should just offer it up for HER sleep. She needs it much more than I do. After all she is the one who started the 4am thread!
Believe it or not.....we have been getting April showers ALL day!!! Snow showers, that is. Right now, almost white outs at times. These April showers may KILL May flowers!!

This is a meme that was going around here the other day.

Hubby thought it was too accurate to be funny, but I sure laughed. Today was windy and in the 50's and tomorrow is supposed to be up to 80. He'll be happy then.
Well, I went and spent a little time with the fam damly. Went to a school function for one of the girls. Is it terrible to say that they don't look any better than I do for a change. Probably, but I said it anyway. They still one up me on living quarters, but if I was working I don't think that would be happening. The girls are absolutely beautiful of course. The one I went to see play in the band competition is the one they said was autistic. There was certainly no evidence of that during the time I was around her. I know there is a spectrum for it, but she came running up to me and gave me a hug. She sits first chair in the school band overall, which is pretty awesome. She's got her Mom and Grandmother's flaming red hair and pulls it off with a creamy, pink hued complexion. Just beautiful. I'll quit bragging. Did I say both the girls are beautiful? ;) :)
I should be finished with this shadowbox and have a picture or 2 tonight or tomorrow morning. Just have to add the touch of bling and clean the glass. I hope she likes it. Not knowing anything about her makes it a little stressful, but there's nothing in there that I can't change. Maybe she hates lilacs or roses. :shrug: Quick! Pull a tulip switcherroo! :lol: Sure hope I sleep tonight! Pretty please, God... Meh. Plenty to offer it up for if I don't. Right? Right. 8)
So glad you saw nieces and we're delighted with them. Nieces are wonderful. And beautiful to boot!!! Yes. We will sleep because we must. Write you tomorrow. (I think you may have made your musical niece's night for her. You made it even more special!)
About that shadowbox. Leave it be. You were probably inspired.
Oh for goodness sake, I almost forgot...g-nite all.

It's in a 12" x 12" white shadowbox frame. I wish my phone took better pictures. The colors were alot more vibrant than this and you can't see the sparkle from the crystals, but you get the idea. I guess she was really happy with it. Whew! 8)

Nothing pathetic about any of that! I'm off to find mine. God is being merciful and allowed me to get my migraine meds a few hours early. My bed is calling my name and assuring me that I will be there all night! Is it wrong to be doing the happy dance in my mind between heartbeats?
Yes. BED. But later. Not now. Don't want to wake at 4 and sleep no more. Right? Well of course I am, or I'm not big momma. So instead, I'll just make a wee little drink. Just a wee one!

Dear Christe, this is bad, but try not to lose your sense of peace with God. I've been trying to find the right words to comfort you all night. I've been praying for you and for all those who are in the position to create and sustain a war. That's the only thing I know to do for the situation right now. Penance, prayer, and sacrifice. Try to stay away from the media since most of them find it their duty in life to get people worked up but not give the correct information. It's just not good to listen to what usually turns out to be alot of nonsense. We have to be smart about how we handle this. I keep thinking about when my Husband was in the Navy and he had to go out to sea several times because Russia would start a bunch of nonsense by having their ships go in and out of our waters trying to provoke us. It's what they do. Few people trusted President Reagan at the time, but now, looking back, most people find him to have been a good President. We just don't see everything that goes on and why President's make the decisions they do. It's not what you see is what you get. There is so much of the rest of it all that we don't see. I just keep coming back to the same penance, prayer, and sacrifice for our President and all of those who are making decisions for us and carrying those decisions out. And pray for our enemies as well. I know this is very lame, but getting upset doesn't change the situation. You can only change things for you. You can only change things with prayer, penance, and sacrifice.
Good solid advice, Christe. Served us through oh so many stressful developments, both family and world. Dymph is right. We haven't the power to change a thing. Our stress and tears serve very little purpose. Oh, sometimes our tears will alleviate our stress, but in the end, do they ever work as an agent of change? Daily, I could cry a river. Won't bring my brother back. Won't bring Andy home. Won't help PF in the slightest. Won't change family dynamics. Won't help to correct the wrongs I've committed over the years. Nope. But prayer and penance on the other hand, has caused a hard heart to melt. Has brought a hardened sinner on his deathbed, to the sacraments. Has brought about my own and countless others conversions. Has produced jobs for poor families. And brought health to the seriously ill. There's NO way to know in this world the far reaching effects of our prayers. So try to be at peace. I speak to myself as well as anyone else.
Your words Dymph, are greatly appreciated. I loved them. GOD BLESS ALL OF US, PLEASE!
Oh, forgot to wish everyone a good night! G-nite all!
Yep. On my way. How about you, Dymph? You sleeping yet? Non? Well wishing all of us a great nite sleep! See you in the morning.
So...go ahead....do it. Go to bed. I will soon. Just hoping I don't miss anything. Could happen, you know. Really. But I'm so tired, I will risk it. G-nite all. Let me know if I slept through anything noteweorthy.
Yep, go early. You'll thank yourself in the morning. God bless you with a good night's sleep.

advice & words, I have read them several times. It means a lot to me.

going on in the world & in the Church. Thank you for everything. God bless you & yours.

Yep, Christe, that my Dymphna alright. Thoughtful, kind and caring. She is all that. God bless her and you Christe. Our country needs our prayers. We can rant each and every day, but it does NO good. If we prayed as much as we rant, or worry, or whatever, our country would be healthy moral and safe. I know for certain I could do more sacrifice, prayer and penance. If we want peace and morality to reign here, we have to work for it. Yes, we are powerless....but God is powerful. We can effect no change in and of ourselves. But prayer to our father almighty can

Thank you so much Christe. I completely understand since I've had those fears myself. It wasn't until a Priest told me to remember to not lose my Catholic sense of Peace, our connection with God. Nor can we neglect our duties of state by getting caught up in the world's nonsense. *Not saying that that is what you are doing Christe, it was just a word of warning from the Priest to me that I thought might be of interest to you. :)

KAESE!!!!! Our masterful master, don't forget him, Christe!!! :)
So, thinking about stopping. Thinking, that is. Seems I have a regular circuit, or pattern my thoughts turn in. It's not good....it's habit. And worry seems to be the center point. Wasn't I just lecturing Christe on the uselessness of fear and anxiety. Yet I probably spend more time in worry, than prayer. This is my confession. And goodness, the dark places my worry takes me. My imagination is fired by my worry, which fires my anxiety. If I could meditate constantly on the beauty and love of Our Lady and her perfect Son, there would be no room in my head for my earthly concerns.
Soon I will go to bed....and try not to worry. But....but no....just do it. I mean don't do it.

Wasn't I just lecturing Christe on the uselessness of fear and anxiety. Yet I probably spend more time in worry, than prayer. This is my confession. And goodness, the dark places my worry takes me. My imagination is fired by my worry, which fires my anxiety. If I could meditate constantly on the beauty and love of Our Lady and her perfect Son, there would be no room in my head for my earthly concerns.
Soon I will go to bed....and try not to worry. But....but no....just do it. I mean don't do it.
Hey now! Stop all that! It's not worth it. Unfortunately, no one gets any better because we worry about them. Neither do things. Things don't get any better because we worry about them. Just try to focus on... maybe the birds. Look at what they live through because God allows it. Can you imagine being perfectly content to be out in those little nests with who knows what all weather? Crazy! Yet there they are in the morning. Singing and poking around for food. Is it bad to say that I'm looking up to birds for meditation tips? :lol:

From Christ Himself:
Quote from: Matthew 6[26] Behold the birds of the air, for they neither sow, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns: and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not you of much more value than they? ... [27] And which of you by taking thought, can add to his stature by one cubit? ... [28] And for raiment why are you solicitous? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin. ... [29] But I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these. ... [30] And if the grass of the field, which is today, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, God doth so clothe: how much more you, O ye of little faith?
... [31] Be not solicitous therefore, saying, What shall we eat: or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we be clothed? ... [32] For after all these things do the heathens seek. For your Father knoweth that you have need of all these things. ... [33] Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you. ... [34] Be not therefore solicitous for tomorrow; for the morrow will be solicitous for itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.
Good night to all!
G-nite Non. :)
Good night, my SD family! Sleep tight. I'll be out making the rounds so all will be well. Send your Angels where they will do the most good while you rest. God bless each and every one of you and those you love. :pray3: 8)

i spend a lot of time worrying about worrying....is it a sin to worry, does it mean i dont trust God enough....lots of saints have said harsh things about people who have anxiety and struggle with worrying which only makes me more anxious...i go to confession and then the moment i get anxious (which is normally like, 5 seconds after confession) i worry i lost the grace from confession.

Ches, not so sure worry is even venial. Certainly does not cause us to lose our sacramental grace. I think it is possibly a weakness in Faith. I have been praying and asking for deeper faith. Seems stronger faith would lead to less worry, doncha think? But right now I am as I am. Weak and worried.
Not to mention disheartened. Do you think Geremia was calling me a Jezebel in the Feminism thread? Well, I guess I come off different ways to different people. To you, im nice, to another I'm prideful and think I'm perfect, why not Jezebel, too!
Anyway....I hope you and I will get some decent sleep, no bad dreams, no laing awake worrying over things we can not possibly change to night. How did you talk go with your mom? I do hope she did not take it too hard. :pray3:

oh no I think he was referring to the biblical jexebrl
I don't think he was referring to you at all. He's too dry
Things went well with my mom. She knows my 2nd POA he used to be my nurse up here when I was in a rehab center right when we first moved back here right after my assault and then my wife hired him as a live in RN for awhile because he got my PTSD issues which were very recent and I was in bad shape mentally.
We've been friends since. He came back to the faith after living with us. Was raised SSPX in france but b now he goes between diocesan tlm and conservative NO. He's also the godfather for my younger son
He now has a doctorate in physical therapy so my mom knows he's well equipped to make medical decisions

Oh, I'm so glad things are alright with your Mom. I was worried things were going to be bad and heap even more agitation your way.
You've said something I don't understand. How does having a doctorate in physical therapy qualify someone to be equipped to make medical decisions for someone that has such complex health problems as you? Please don't misunderstand. I'm not attacking his abilities or even really questioning them. I just didn't know that physical therapists had the kind of knowledge that is needed for you.
You all are ever in my prayers, Ches. :pray3:
Um, OK, here it goes. Good night all! Well, maybe not for a few minutes more. Our fearless leader is around here somewhere. Maybe I'll go out and see if she is checking on the sheeps. Anyway...
Sleep tight while your Angels watch over you. Perhaps send them to tend to someone in need right now. Like someone breathing their dying breath, or some one who is seriously ill and all alone, or someone who is troubled that you know, or to lift the spirits of our troops overseas, or to a Priest who is in doubt. So much pain in this world and so little time we have to try to make it a better place. But this is a good place to start. God bless and keep you and yours always close to His Most Sacred Heart. :pray3:

My sweet Dymph, I'm here, sorta. But you certainly can conscript my angel to relieve suffering souls anywhere and everywhere! He has two strong arms, he can help. Even while watching over me. But I'll be sleeping soon and will need very little oversight. You are so good to us and others. Just knowing you are roaming, checking locks, counting my sheep, doing surveillance for the forum, while we sleep is comforting. Really Dymph, Ches may just have a trophy for assuring the well being of others. He has so, so many, I'll bet he has something appropriate for the forum's night time swiss guard (of one). Hey, we need to provide you with a formal uniform. Then when we get a pic of you with your trophy you will be appropriately dressed. Maybe a denim jumper (very traddish) thick tights, with a sew on security patch with your name on it. Not on your tights, though.Then a few smiley faces and a WWJD patch. With a sacred heart image, and sorrowful heart. Then you will need a holster to hold your holy water. And an official salt shaker for your blessed exorcize salt. Oh we could really deck you out, couldn't we.

Sure could! As Security Supervisor, I had a uniform to wear, epaulets and all. Had I been thinking at the time, I would have requested a uniform change for women. Seriously though. I did request the ability to wear a skirt instead of their pants. I would have made sure the material was an exact copy of the pants, but alas, it was not meant to be. Making my rounds at that facility meant I had to go out on a roof to check some doors, and then down through a tunnel to an electricity/maintenance building. In there, if an alarm was sounding or if asked to check and register the temperature, I would have to climb the ladder to the thermostat. And the last scenario was. that if I had to tackle an intruder, who was breaking and entering, it wouldn't bode well for me to be in a skirt. So, I had to agree with their reasons, this time. Plus being at the state lab all night by yourself, with all those nasty germs, etc, well, I could see their point, and therefore gave up on running their lives. lol
Any one needing a tuck in just line up. It's bedtime now. Not gonna be tucking in for long. Pretty tired here. Bedtime stories will be one liners.
Needing a tuck in myself tonight. Feeling a bit crappy. Talked to my dog about it. He felt bad, but had nothing to say. That's ok. My dog just lays by me and supports my self esteem. He validates my value. Good dog.

Thanks Ches. Yep my very own therapy dog. Really...and I don't even have to pay him.
OK, OK, I'm shutting down my computer!
Good night all.
I have 7 more hours at work. No way I'm going to bed right now.
Hopefully another hour and half to go! We had a late dinner. Kids have kitchen duty, husband is checking on cows, and I'm enjoying a glass of wine on the patio. An early night sounds good.

Welcome Gardener! Nice to see a new face. Yes, I recommend you stay at it, get it done! Your time and mine, I believe are 2 or 3 hrs. apart. When I'm thinking of bed, you're thinking of dinner and playing with Dominic. Right now, it's a bit early for me too, but my pillow doesn't know that and beckons to me.
Ok, so my 'toon, Lidya, is walking around the furniture. Finally big enough for her "Johnny jump up". You remember....the device you hook up on a door frame and it is on a spring that allows baby to jump up and down. She is so stinking cute in it. She is going to be walking soon, and doesn't even have a tooth yet. I had one son who did not get first tooth until 14 months, so that's not so strange, but walking before 9 months is unususl. Had one walk at 9 months. He was the earliest. She may not take off for another month, but is definitely heading in that direction. Oh, how I love watching her! She is so squishy and adorable to me! Makes the pains and suffering in this life easier to tolerate. Wish everyone had a Lidya. If not a Lidya, well, at least a Logan. Yep, my dog is almost as sweet as Lidya. Wait...I exaggerate....as sweet as he is....he's no where near my Lidya. Although, Lidya is not as good of a listener as Logan, truth be told.
Getting closer to my favorite time of nite. If I don't pop in later....G-nite. God bless.
ithink this is my favorite part of the forum
I got to see my wife today.. talked to her doctor, therapist and team. Still no word on when she'll be home but they want her to complete a whole round of DBT. Im actually kind of jealous because DBT looks like it might help me. She also has CBT too. A lot of this stuff wasn't even possible when she first got here because she didn't feel safe enough
I probably should quit this place but I think I would miss this sort of banter a lot
We would miss you too much for you to leave us, Ches. It would be like a part of our family just vanishing and that would suck. It would certainly be a void that no one else could fill.
Why have you not had DBT or CBT? Isn't that a basic part of your treatment? I guess you have already answered that question, haven't you? Duh Can you request it? I would think that would help your PTSD. Your Wife will be light years ahead from where she started if she can receive and utilize that training before she goes home. Please God! :pray3: :pray2: :pray1:

and, here's a concrete resolution to start with: DO NOT click on the "promises and despair" thread that Matto just started....DON'T DO IT! make it your self-denial for today, and offer it up for wife. She's making such progress!! Help her out.
tomorrow, we come up with another resolution...but not until tomorrow! One day at a time :)
Ok, Ches.... how'd you do with today's resolution?? I can assume you did well, since you didn't post or 'thank' anyone over there. Even if you just peeked a little, it's still good. You stayed away and didn't get involved. I say, check the box for 'yes, Lord, I kept my resolution for today. Grant me the grace to do it again tomorrow."
Whelp, hitting the hay early tonight. Usually, no matter what I say, I don't really go to bed before 11, and many times after 12. Tonight before 11. Definitely. G-nite my peeps!
Ok. So I know it's only 6:36. But I have my Jammie bottoms on anyway. Actually, I put them on right after church and lunch. So I am ready for sleep. Oh, yes, it IS too early. Way. But, I'm ready. Had a couple V8/vodkas. Now I am tired. Should have waited. :-\ They were not too bad but...guess what.....hubby accidently bought low sodium V8. I know...blech. So as a remedy, I put some of my fine Himalayan pink salt in it. Not the same. Oh, no, don't go thinking it will be the same, cuz, it's just not. No idea why, but there you have it. But, I got my veggies in, right?
I tried some of that Himalayan pink salt once. The guy tried to tell me that you don't even need as much because it tastes so much better than Morton's salt. Blech! I had to tell him that maybe the Sherpa's in the Himalaya's like it because they are plagued with the lack of oxygen and that has somehow killed their taste buds, or they just have never had good salt, but that stuff was terrible.
Good night Carleen. :grouphug: I'll be off to make the first rounds of the night soon. We're coming up on storm season, so it's time to make sure all the preparations are still in tact.
Hey, I don't mind the himalayan salt. I hear it's better for you, so that may be why I like it. Mind over matter and all that. Anyway, Dymph, thanks for keeping watch, gonna turn in soon. Back to waking up at 3:30, and that has me a bit frustrated. But....if you need a few winks, I should be up for at least 3-4 hours. :)
Drowning my sorrows in ice cream tonight. And 2 wee drinks to help me sleep. Last nite I, by the grace of God, laid awake for hours with a constant Ave. Took no effort, it just happened. I'm sure I caught a few hours all together, but hoping for more.

Why, thank you Gardener!!!! I really should have done that myself. I had the link, but feel a bit shy. No one knows him here and hate to ask for help, but that's somewhat my pride. Never, ever done anything like this. His sister set it up. The goal will continuously increase. The debt and costs will be around 100, 000. Impossible. Oh, he had insurance for anyone but himself. His dad is working off his anger at BILL for not covering himself. My son has paid rent, house payments, food, doctor visits for children, car payments, you name it, for young families in a bind, but did not take care of himself. His dad is just trying to hold it together and be compassionate instead of an ass about Bills lack of prudence when it comes to his own Healthcare insurance.

Not to worry, I've never heard of the site. Not sure why daughter picked it, but she must have had a reason. Anyway, it's a bit humbling to put that out there. Glad she did it, but not something I've ever done. Though I have donated to go fund me before.
Praying for a good nite sleep. Can't go yet, or I'll be up at 3, even my dog is fast asleep at that time. He gets up around 7:30.

Praying for you to get some sleep too! Does Logan ever snore and wake you up? Tigger was terrible about that. It was that or she was cold and had to crawl under the covers. She would always wiggle her way clear to the bottom of the bed and then work her way back up until her nose could stick out. Crazy mutt!

Logan snores ocassionally. Not much. He is way too big to be in bed. Sounds like Tigger was smaller and a real sweatheart. Do you still have him?

She was a Min Pin (miniature Pinscher). She was a sweetheart and a pistol! When we first got her, we bought some baby gates to corral her in the kitchen. We didn't know she was an olympic style high jump artist. So we put up more baby gates. She climbed those. Hubby actually made a baby gate wall. She chewed through them. And yet, I came home from work one day and she had knocked my pin cushion (tomato thingy) onto the floor and had taken each pin out. They were all laying there in a little pile right next to it. Crazy dog! Her other thing was to balance on the tops of the backs of the recliners so she could look out the windows. She was something else.
She's been gone for a few years now. She was getting older and started having trouble getting up and down off the couch and chairs. My parents were keeping her while we were at a bike rally in Oklahoma. Mom called and said Tigger had fallen off Dad's bed and broke her back. We rushed home (that's when I found out what it was like to do 120 mph on a bike!) and the vet had already come and taken her to his place. Bless his heart, he tried everything to help her (and never charged us). About a week later, we brought her home. That night, we just couldn't make her comfortable and knowing that even an expensive surgery wouldn't help very much, we had to have her put down. It broke my heart, but she was the apple of Hubby's eye. To this day, he won't allow us to get another dog, or any other animal for that matter. I had had to put both of my cats down just a couple of years before this, which was really hard for me. We had them for 17 years. So no more animals. They will break your heart. :'( Sorry, I didn't mean to get all sappy on you.
Please pray Billy's ride home is not torture. Should be home in 2 hours.
He sure has an awful lot to offer up! Should be good for a few releases of souls in purgatory. He and his pre-bride say rosaries together, caught them several times ;) I'm sure they are putting this to good use!

Now that^^^^^^ made me smile!!!
Bed,, O sweet bed. In just a wee little bit. Yes, I know, I can't wait either!
at home finally but missing my wife because her side o the bed is empty and it hs been for a long time. the kids are here and i'm glad to be with them but I think the whole family's on edge....lots of discussion about why mommy still isn't home yet which breaks my heart. I visited her today and she's improving steadily, but there's a long, long, long way to go and it's not going to be fixed in a matter of months. I worry that she'll go home and go right back to her razors and 400 calories a day and 2 hours of exercise a day. she said she was exhausted from her therapy.. the people working there are really competent and compassionate (thank God, because a lot of these places are horrible cesspools of abuse and neglect of the mentally ill) but the treatment is hard because it's a lot of thinking about things you've spent your whole life trying not to think about....
a lot of trying to get her to pay attention to her body which is interesting i feel like im learning so much about PTSD recovery from talking to her therapy team and seeing what techniquest theyre using... i spend a lot of the day kind of mentally trying to disconnect from my body because the idea of having to live in it is just horrifying and painful and disgusting
Ches, I cannot fathom your burdens, but feel hopeful wife is getting the help she has needed for a long time. Of course her treatment will take long. Her suffering is so deeply seated, so many years of coping mechanisms to untangle and uproot. I understand how difficult to change the mind. First hand experience dealing with very deep seated mental habits developed to function, that ends in dysfunction. Painful business, long time work. Offering up for family
So glad you have your little loves, but understand the anxiety you have for their well being. Yet, their sweet love is good at consolation. :pray3:
Well I probably should sooner or later, go to bed that is. But my barn cat snuck in and I feel like I have a flea infested intruder. Can't find her. We treat her very well, no doubt, but she is sneaky. No hesitation breaking and entering. I accidently stepped on a mouse she was playing with, and I do believe she may have it out for me. Call me crazy, but she has been sneaking in ever since I wrecked her fun. :-\
G-nite, my peeps. Please pray for my family. Thanks.
Prayers on the way. :pray3:

So, another day. Over. What will tomorrow bring? I know. More of the same. It would be to my benefit to love the same. Don'cha think? Actually, my tasks really are a pleasure to me...except dishes. Oh, I do them, but I do not enjoy them. Dirty frying pans? I'd rather empty and rinse urinals. Ok. Gross, but it is what is, for now. You Would Not Believe The Hoops We Had To Go Through to get my poor son his stinking Norco 5mg 325. Drivers liscence, son's I mean, social security number, 2 1/2 hrs drive to get the script. Absolutely ridiculous!!!! Gone are the days the call in a med. Then, they had no clue who he was or what he was being treated for. :(

In fact, I'm getting ready to snuggle down with my 3 year old for a nap today. We all got up before the sun, so we could go to Mass for Ascension, so a nap is a must today! It's his last day being 3...I gotta take advantage before this phase ends!
G-nite. Love you guys!

Thanks Ches!!! Yes, a hard thing for son to endure. I have a good idea what you go through every single day, and have been for years now. Son has many advantages of course. He has ordered weights for upper body work. His lower body will be pretty wasted, but at least he will be strong in upper body. Humiliations plenty, though. Can't be left alone, for more than a few minutes. He is determined to get up 2 times a day, usually to use bathroom. Makes me nervous, but who cares. My fear is a fall, which at this point would be devestating. He can use crutches for a few minutes, but back in bed right after. So, you see, he has a few upright moments, which is not possible for you....at least not by choice.
I slept all night last nite. I did not get up at 3 or4. Nope. Didnt. I am hoping for a second nite like that! Deo Gratias.
Getting closer to my favorite time. I am just a dull girl and sleep is what I look forward to. Just saying. Plus, I really never know what to expect. Will I be up for hours during the night. Will I wake up and see light? Will it still be dark when my eyes pop open with perfect clarity, the kind that says....just go get a book and read, you know there will be no sleep after this point. I mean, really, anything could happen. Every night is a story unfolding. Yes, a dull one, but still....
So...hubby got a new big truck. Remember, I'm only about 5ft 31/2 or 3/4 on a good day, right???? So we are at a big restaurant, hubby gallantly helps me out of truck. It's NOT a pretty sight, but the diners by the window enjoy the show. Then, it's time to get back in truck. Ok. I have a skirt on. Very elegant, if I may say so myself. Looking good. We walk through parking lot to truck. I can't get back in. I try. Oh, yes, I gave it a good try and fell back out. My galant hubby comes to my rescue, big Ole smile on his face. "Here honey, put your foot up here and i'll give you a boost." Don't know what I expected, but he put both hands on my butt, and practically threw me face first belly down onto the front seat. So my legs are flailng out the door, while I'm trying to find footing leverage to propelled the rest of my body in. I'm laughing so hard, I can barely get my self in and upright on my seat. Normally, there is no entertainment at this restaurant. I think the window sitters enjoyed the play. So, I waved and smiled and kissed my audience good bye. We're taking the Cherokee to Mass tomorrow. Some things are just too much, even for me.
That's my story^^^^^^ I'm sticking to it. Or not. Whatever.
I love your ability to laugh at yourself.carleen.. I never had that as a kid but would not get through life without it
A good day, no doubt. I love our Lady. She is too sweet to me. I received from my friend Kevin's sister 2 bird chimes and a sunflower chime. I was so floored. Plus a lovely accordian fan to use at church. When her brother died we tried to help the family, here and there to cover funeral expenses. Just small stuff, a few small consolation gifts to help bring cheer. Really, small gestures. Her name is...Minnie. Yep. Minnie. Then I went to their home, saw her small doll collection. She was so sweet when I gave her a pretty brazilian doll to add to her collection, because Kevin told me she had one...collection, that is. Kevin loves his sister, and she is a good, hardworking woman. She works as a CENA....Certified nurses assistant for the elderly. Hard work that is.
Kevin is a bright spot in my life. He is a little nappy haired, clean cut, God fearing 62 year old man. He is physically handicapped. Drags his left leg, wearing holes in shoes, requiring frequent replacement. Maybe five foot 4. Barely taller than me. He has no teeth, poor man. Talks a bit muffled, but ever so patient as I ask him so many times to repeat himself. He keeps making the circuit, asking people to hire him to do yard work, sweep, paint, whatever. So I ask him, what does he charge. He says...NOTHING...."I figure God will move their heart to pay me whatever my work is worth. And that's good enough for me!" So... you can see why I love Kevin.
Ok. 8:20. So. I am already thinking about the hour and an half before I can hit the hay. Wow. Ten years ago, I would not have thought bedtime could possibly be so eagerly anticipated. Well it is. And I do. I am such a schmuck. But the thing is, I wake up every morning between 4 and 5, wide awake. No more sleep. My eyes open. Thoughts are clear, fully alert. But it's way too early. And I'm mad. Mad because it's too early. Mad because I can not, for the life of me, fall back to sleep. Everyone is sawing logs. But me. Dymph. You deal with insomnia all the time. How do you do this????
Anyway, went to the goose pen to care for injured sons birds, and low and behold, there are 3 fuzzy goslings. More to come I'm pretty sure. I get so excited with new life. Even bird life. So I run in and find shallow pans for water and feed, fill them and next thing I know the big geese are eating it and trying to float in the goslings water. Hope the chick's survive. >:(
Going. CD.

I was just about to tell you all how awesome these things are:
https://www.amazon.com/Hampton-Farms-Cajun-Spicy-Roasted/dp/B001EBSRHM
Someone from work brought them in to share.
And then I was shelling one and a piece popped off and hit me in the eye. These taste great, but they are truly awful as an ocular adornment.

Gardener......safety glasses. Mandatory for shelling nuts. I think it is the homeowners code manual. So was it the velocity of the hit....or the Cajun spice that was the source of your pain and suffering????
Cajun spice.
Poison control may be useful. That is caustic material. ; )
Are you telling us that there wasn't a Warning label? Where's the lawyer? You have a case against this company! Could be worth millions! Millions, I tell you!
Ok. So. Yes. I have opened a Facebook page. Yes. But......it was an accident. I barely know how I got 5 friends. And the invites? They are pouring in. Even my, meh, enemies now want to be my, meh, "friends". I think I will just go to bed. Somethings are way too hard. Not my pillow. My pillow is soft and sweet. And new.
nothing like a soft bed I'm in my bed at home for one more night... but getting me sitting up was hard and my blood pressure dropped... So might have to go to nursing facility on a stretcher tomorrow

Don't be afraid. We all go to bed. None of us truly know what to expect. Sleep? Probably. But if you must deal with wakefulness, then you are to pray. Not for sleep, but...for all you are concerned about. Really, it just makes sense. Right? Well, yes, of course.
Yes. Sweet sleep in about an hour! Been thinking about this moment all day. But....I did get my bread made and plants replaced, you know the ones the bunnies ate. :-\
Time to take my shoes for a walk - my cat said no!
(https://i.gifer.com/7JqW.gif)
Love your gumption Non! I should see if I can find some shoes that need to go for walks. There would have to be a dire consequence should I not take them, though. Otherwise I would be able to wiggle out of it like nobody's business! I've got a few more hours left before I hit the rack. Finally making some headway on the box I'm making for my niece's birthday. I'm sorely tempted to go down into the basement and put a glittered clearcoat on it, but with Hubby sleeping right above the spot where I would be spraying, I'm inclined to think that that would be inadvisable. :laugh: Maybe I'll just take the time to do my nails for Saturday's big events. Hmmm... what to do, what to do. Enjoy your walk, Non! And you enjoy your slumber, Carleen, you have earned it! Nighty night SD family! :seeya:
Nite Non, nite Dymph!
Good night!
Looking forward to bed, as usual.
Son actually got out for Mass and confession. Came back happy, but in fair amount of pain. That was the most time upright since May 1. Surgery, next Tuesday. Can't come soon enough for all involved. After surgery, another 3 weeks flat, then hopefully he can spend time sitting upright. He's had a decent day spirit wise. Mass and confession worked wonders for him. Again, thanks for prayers.
After a wee little sleep tonic. Ever so small. Straight up.

Dear Lord, please help my dear friend relax, be comfortable and sleep. Amen
Ok. Going. In a little bit. Yawning. After a little nip to seal the deal.
Tempted to post in "Done anything fun lately?".......sleep. I love sleep. Shows I'm no spring chicken.
So, got my garden squared away. Grow so much the people at church cringe when they see me coming with my big basket every Sunday, from August through September! Getting so I think they fill the bags I bring, just to humor me, lol. In the city where our TLM is, few have gardens. So for weeks I set up a table every Sunday and share the wealth, as my friend Kevin says.
I've found the buckets of duck eggs are not very popular. They taste just like chicken eggs. Only difference is the whites are whiter and they are much bigger. Good thing I don't bother bringing in goose eggs.
It is a respectable time to say dreamy things about my pillow. I love my pillow. My headaches make it impossible to use a pillow of substance. That literally hurts my head. Can barely stand my glasses on my head, or an head band for my hair. So a pillow has to be so unimposing as to be barely noticeable under my head! That's my pillow. You see now why I sing it's praises. Speak of how my pillow beckons to me. When I'm tired I think of my bed, of course, but just as important....my pillow. I love it. It loves my head.
A busy day. Over. Tired. Tonight is hot and humid. Turns my ankles into cankles. But when I wake up in morning they are quite a bit better. Just in time for another hot one :)
Getting to be THAT time....you know...that time. Yep. 8:30 is close to 9:30, which is close to 10! You see where I'm going with this. Bed.
Going to sleep well tonight! Feel like such a big burden has been lifted. Deep sweet sleep, please God. Just finished laundering his sheets and blanket. Hell come home to fresh linens. Will be in bed for eeeks, but now, at least he is definitely heading towards healing! Wouldn't surprise me if it already feels less painful. Thank you God.
Son is home. Plenty of pain, but doing very well. Just great knowing humpty dumpy is back together again. :)
Thinking about bed, but refuse to consider it before 10! Call me crazy but bed before 10 just seems wrong, unless you have to be up before dsybreak.
Big storms this evening. Fun to watch. Came down in buckets. I love a good storm! But, not tornados. Nope.
Ok. So. 10:20. You know what THAT means! Pick the jammies. Drink your nightcap. Or not. Just get geared up, geeked up for bed. You don't know what tomorrow may bring! So rest up. I will. Well....I must. If I don't rest up, I'll screw up on every level. So lots of work tomorrow. Gotta get it done! So sleep is my goal, so I CAN get it done!.
G-nite, my peeps. Love you guy! Mwahhh!
Almost 10. Big concern. Hoping for a deep sleep, so I don't need to think about it. I'love bet there is not a single person on SD that doesn't have a grave concern on their heart. Soooo :pray3:
I've enjoyed catching up on your 'go to bed' posts, Carleen! I've been busy lately, so haven't been on here much...researching curriculum for next school year. We are taking a complete 180. Still homeschooling, but just changing gears. I feel very, very confident and at peace, but kind of scared. It's a leap. it always is when it comes to your children's education, and for some stupid reason, the world has trained parents to think they have no idea what they are doing in that realm, and that they need everyone else but themselves to do the job correctly ::) Anyway, that's my soapbox for the evening.
I need to go bake some sourdough before going to bed. It's kind of a crazy evening...it's 9:30, and husband is showing some cows to a potential buyer, and I'm about to put bread in the oven. A friend is meeting me early tomorrow morning to trade yard eggs for bread, so I'm committed to getting it done. Husband told this guy he could come by tonight; he said he would be here before sundown, but I guess he misjudged the distance from his house to ours. So, here we are! Kids are in bed, though, so that takes a load off my mind. I always feel so much better when my kid are restful and sleeping. Probably because I can't screw up too much with them, when they are asleep :P Last, but certainly not least, I'll be enjoying a glass of white wine, as I finish up my last round of duties tonight. Sleep tight, Carleen! You will be in my prayers this weekend :pray3: Nighty-night, everyone!
Wow, Munda, you need a little wine so you can wind down from your busy day! I rarely still have bread baking going on after 9. There should be a reward for women like you! Every day. Just for survival skills ;)
Thanks for your prayers. A needy bunch here! So, saying one right now, for you, before I forget! :pray3: This thread has been a long monolog lately. But really, where else will they put up with my constant blathering? Lol.
So....do things ever feel so heavy that if you allow yourself to blather, you may NEVER stop? Well, that's where I am, so I say good nite to all. Tomorrow is a new day. Thanks be to God. Pooped out here.
Yes. I think I will, soon go to bed.
I am WOMAN, HEAR ME SNORE in numbers too loud to ignore..... That's right I snore, but hubby says I purr. Really???? Truly, I don't want to contradict DH, but, come on.....PURRR? More like GRRRRR!!! Think about it, my cat purrs. And I'm no cat I sound more like my husband's Super Duty diesel truck. How do I know? Because I wake me up. In all fairness to me, I only snore on my back. Thank God I am a side sleeper who only occasionally, accidently, ends up on my back.
There, I've said my piece. Now....going to get prone, on my side.
Ok. But later. Not time yet!
Time. G-nite all.
Almost 10! I love it! But you know THAT! Yes . Everyone knows by now that I love going to bed. Love my pillow. That's getting old, I'm sure. So...unless you want me to continue with my monologue, then jump in and chime in.. Losing my steam. Love it when you contribute. Doesn't matter if it's silly, serious, happy or sad. Just come in and share. It's always interesting to me :)
Well, it 02.00 and time for this old man to go to bed and read a bit.
Jovan....welcome to the bed thread.
Gonna just DO IT! Yep , just gonna jump in my bed. In a bit. A little bit! Getting late, but had Mass tonight. Didn't get home til 9:30. Thsee evening always end up in late nights. But who cares??? I mean really. I got Mass. Only about 20 people there, but the good news is...I was one of them! Thank you Lord!
So....our 4 day party is OVER!!!! YEP, happy to go back to a quiet life. But I must say, I watched my son enjoy himself although a relatively high rate of physical discomfort. The company helped the hours pass. Card games took his mind off his troubles. A few beer didn't hurt! He didn't take pain med other than ibuprofen just so he could enjoy a few beers with no risk. 4 days of revelry has made a very weary bunch here. I have learned a lot about Sips family. Most important, that my family and hers are quite compatible. Not samesy, but certainly compatible. Similar sense of humor and lifestyle, but not religious denomination. No anti catholicism, thank God, but nor are they all converting any time soon! Thank God Sipkje has already converted. All in all, a good 4 days. Exhausting, but good.
Now, about bedtime. Ready. Yep tired and ready, though I may just want to enjoy the next two quiet hours!
A quiet day! Thanks be to God!!! Lovely Mass, good homily. Saw my friend Kevin. Got a card from his sis wishing my son well. Sweet. Kevin still collects cans, so we bring them in every Mass. Can't really give money for a while. Not until the family has what they need. Been paying for medications, and what all we can cover for daily needs. Not like son has no money, just that expenses will bleed him dry and hoping wedding will take place in the fall. And all with no income for at least 6 more months, plus physical therapy, which will be very expensive. So we are doing what we can now. So...my friend Kevin only gets our cans, and a ride to wherever he needs one. Poor Kevin must be missing our small contributions....but, family fitst. Which, he understands, but I feel bad about, you know, not being able to help him out. Oh, he never asks, but I know he needs. Again....family first. :)
It's late. So just do it. See you in the morn, friends!
Time to consider when you will turn in. What you will wear. What you will have for your night cap. Is your cat in? Your dog? Your children? Your husband? Are your dishes done? Doors locked? Did you brush your teeth? Your trash out for morning pick up? You see, bedtime is not just about plopping in bed. Much more complex!
Who cares about checking what colour is your pyjamas or whether the door is locked when all you wanna do is to crash to bad after a long busy day? :D :swoon2:
(It's morning here; (somewhat) recharged from a good sleep last night. Have been running around for errands over the past few days - & there's gonna be more!!!)
Have a great day, Servus. Go .....get it done! God bless every moment of your day, my friend!
So, bedtime, and I ain't ashamed. Bedtime. I love it! Like Serves says, "Who cares what color jammies we wear to bed." Yeo! Who cares! It's just a delight to go to bed!!!! Don'cha think??? Yep, I do. I love bed. But, you know that!
Good night my friends. Wish you all a good night's sleep!
Ok. So. No doubt, it's bedtime. Fact. So I'm just gonna do it. Going, going, gone. G-nite my SD friends. May we all sleep deeply and wake up refreshed tomorrow morning. Love you guys. God bless!
Got my beautiful wife sleeping next to me... Having her home is intense but we're glad. My son's birthday is the 20rg and he doesn't seem that interested I think having her in the hospital so long and having me be sick is taking a big toll on him. I don't know what we can do for his birthday to cheer him up he says he's nervous about a party which isn't like him he's always been a social butterfly

Funny how disturbing it is for a kid when family is separated , then when back together, you'd expect your boy to be all better. But it doesn't work that way, does it? It will take a bit for him to get used to normal again. Or as normal as he's known it over the last few years. I hope Mrs. C is doing well. She must be so happy just lying next to hubby and doing mommy things again. I pray your little guy gets over his unsettled feelings, relaxes enough to enjoy his BD with the two people he loves more than anything else in this world! Prayers for your whole family, Ches. :pray3: Can't tell you how glad I am that you all are united again!
Good night, everyone. Hoping everyone gets a good night's sleep and wakes refreshed and ready to go worship their maker!
A great day here.. kids went in on an "indestructible" rosary. Made of metal beads and parachute cord, with ano amazing crucifix to top it off. Blessed and ready to put to work!! Burgers, potato salad, and berry pie for dessert. Hours of talking, laughing, and fun. Yep. A good day.
One negative of the day. Locked the keys in the car. Had to call insurance for roadside to come out after Mass and unlock our car. It was soooo hot and humid waiting to go home but we lived to tell about it! :)
Good night all!
Gnite my friends. It's getting late. Well not time for bed, but some here actually get up very early and are now winding down. I am more likely to go to bed around 11 or 11:30.
Early yet, I know this! But what if I forget later???? I am a bit scattered and could very well forget, so I'm here now. What if people here had to go to bed without a good nite from big mamma. What if? Anyway the point is moot! I am here, and I wish all a hearty goodnite!!!!
Gonna wrap things up and try to turn in a bit early. Last nite was not a good one, so hopefully tonight's my nite. And your nite too. Don't wanna be the only happy face in the morning. Actually even after a crappy nite, it only takes about 15 minutes to find my smile, but I can be very crabby for that 15 minutes. Just give me a few minutes. And a cup of coffee. And a cinnamon bun, lol! Joking. Not. Am. Not. Am.
An early start on a late day/nite thread. Just gonna lay it all out for ya! YES!!!! Hubby found his teeth! YES.....all is well in Nothingwellville. Well..well enough. Ya'll can't possibly know Nothingwellville, unless you have lived here! I know....an oxymoron. How can he find his teeth in Nothingwellville? Well, nothing does not mean "nothing" as typically implied. It really means.....almost nothing. But....teeth are back in his mouth so obviously.....something is right in Nothingwellville.
BED TIME!!!!! These days those words are more pleasing than my mother yelling...."DINNER TIME!" A sure sign you're creeping up in age I guess, lol!
So. Too early for bed talk. Be back later.
Whelp, it's 8:00. Time to say my rosary. I may stop in later but if I don't a GOOD night to all. :grouphug:
What a nice way to end the day with Our Lady! Looking forward to Wednesday morning on your side - though now it's Wednesday morning on my side ... :lol:
Rest well! :grouphug:
Servus, we end every day with Our Lady, and have for about 30 years. THAT is our steadfast devotion. Others come and go. Our rosary is here to stay. Probably the ONLY thing we have never wavered on. The fruit is just too sweet. I can be so wishy-washy, I need it. I thank God for it.
Dear peeps, DO NOT GO TO BED!!!!!! Too soon. Wait at least 2 hours.
Here. Fixed you a wee little libation. Go ahead. Tip it up. Now....let's go over to the cosplay thread, lol!
Heh? Why is my cosplay thread so hot these days?! :o
Already wrapped the day up with Our Lady. Now, whatever :-\ Go to bed. Dont. Matters not. As long as our sweet Mother has been honored!
8:50....Yipeeeeee! I know. Don't say it......what a bore. Yep that's me.You just wait till my night cap. Then I'll show ya. I'll wax profound, I will.
9:30. That's it. Still light out. When it darkens, we talk about pillows, flashlights, and bumps in the night.
Just gonna do it! Good nite! May God bless all with a good night's sleep. See you tomorrow.
So... tomorrow's Monday. Don't get all itchy. Just another day, I tell ya!

Welp, it's Monday morning here in where I am! :lol: yet I'm still laying in bed, cool & cozy ... I refuse to get up, haha.
Getting there. 2 more hours. Hold your horses.
Ok. Time to think seriously about turning in. A good nite sleep to all!
Time. Get pj's. Finish your wine, or mixed drink. If you haven't said rosary, just do it. Let dog out for last pee. Brush teeth. Let dog back in. Walk on by those few dishes in the sink. No! Don't even look. Really. Do them with breakfast dishes. Get book. Relax. Prep for sleep. Wake up, turn lights off. Go back to sleep. Stay asleep until good morning.
Long day. Going. To. Bed. Hope yall have a pleasant evening, and sleep well. I hope to sleep. We'll see.hopefully I won't get caught up in my thought loops at 2am, lol. Need a good night's sleep.
Yes....almost there. Bedtime looming. In a good way. My challenge is to stay asleep the whole night. Wish me well.

If I'm having trouble falling asleep, I say a few Hail Marys and then find it easy to go to sleep...
Nothing puts me to sleep like trying to finish a rosary! ;)
i can relate!
:)
Longstrangetrip5, welcome to go to bed. Now....jump into jammies. Get your nightcap. Meh....the liquid kind. Then, say an act of contrition for daily small infractions, and go to bed. Well, not yet! In about an hour to hour and half. Sounds reasonable, don't it?
Good night to all!!! May God bless your sleep and your angels protect you......Big mamma.
Ok. Right to the point. Go. To. Bed. Ok. In 2 hours. Though, it is on my mind.
Going. *yawn* going *yawn* gone. The end.
***yawn****
Ok. Gonna abandon a thread that's had a good run, but dying. Gonna put it to bed. Gnite.

CD, are you in bed yet? I sure hope so, young lady.... past your bedtime.
Now that I've moved to another time zone, I can jump in here somewhat often, if you want to resurrect it.
About to pour a glass of wine and have some manchego, waiting for dinner. Here's to you, sweetest Carleendiane!
And all the other "go to bed" peeps.... you too, Kaes! :cheeseheadbeer:
May the Most Holy Trinity provide dreams of Heavenly things, through His Holy Mother, and the angels and saints surround you.
Dear Per, not in bed. Slurping my ....ummmmm, sleep elixer, yes, that. Your cheeriness is a pleasant surprise in my old thread. Maybe not dead yet! The thread, that is, lol.
Well, it's pretty late in Carleendiane's neck of the woods, so I assume you are sleeping with angels watching over you at the moment. Sorry I'm late to say goodnight to the EST and Central time folk, busy as can be today.
Novena prayers offered for ya'll, with special invocation to Our Lady of Lourdes. Someone be sure to turn off the lights? Don't forget to say your prayers.
:grouphug: :pray1:
I just sat down with my "sleep elixir" CD. A toast to you and the SD family. Have to remember to lock the door, turn off the wifi and turn out the lights. And pray I don't step on 2 sleeping mutts on my way to the bedroom. Spouse is away and they are now super vigilant, sleeping near the door, growling at any little noise. I tried to tell them that the glock is locked and loaded, but they're just doing what they do.
Getting better with the saber. I wonder if I could en garde an intruder lol
On second thought, I could end up like this:

On my way, just want to say I miss you lovely peeps. Life has been so totally unpredictable. No way could I have foreseen the direction my life would be taking at this time. I have no reason to doubt the path before me, but it is tough to follow. Tough to wrap this old head around.I do hope Servus is doing well.. . such a sweet young lady. And Laus, hope all goes well, regarding marriage and new job and location. Hope Martin is well. Arebyou doing any better, Martin? And Ches, my sweet Ches, ...you hear me? Prayers for you, lovely wife, beautiful children. Per, your new place of residence.....I hope it will soon feel like HOME to you and dear hubby. Orate......peace to you during this your anniversary, with the most obvious and painful void in your life. Thank God for your children! 9th for this sorry soul, please? Just an Ave will do. Thank you. Carleen, most bewildered.
We sure love you, my friend!
Now, rest easy, I'll lock up and make sure the cat is in. Yes, I said "in". Coyotes are clever, and my neighbors are a bit close, and wouldn't appreciate me picking them off. The coyotes, I mean LOL
Every day, dear Carleendiane :pray1:
Before we know it. our beloved "hostess with the mostess' will be back. In the meantime, I will awkwardly but diligently endeavor to say good night in her stead as often as possible.
So here is a prayer for ya'll's sorry butts, and may God hold you in the palm of His Hand.
Much love to you, SD family :grouphug: :pray1:

Good-night, sweet Jesus, guard us in our sleep.
Our souls and bodies in Thy love keep.
Waking or sleeping, be Thou our morning light.
Dear gentle Saviour, good-night, good-night.
Good-night, sweet Jesus, guard us in our sleep.
You are our shepherd, Lord; we are your sheep.
When we awaken, be Thou our morning light.
Dear gentle Saviour, good-night, good-night.
Good-night, dear Jesus. Good-night. Good-night.
Good Night, Holy Head of My Jesus

Ref. Good night, Holy Head of My Jesus,
who was wounded in body and mind.
Goodnight rosy flower,
Goodnight beloved Jesus, goodnight!
Good night, holy hair, heavily torn,
and stained with most sacred Blood.
Refrain
Good night, holy neck, chained and shackled,
Be praised for all of eternity.
Refrain
Good night, holy hands, outstretched on the Cross,
As the strings of the lute, when they are tuned.
Refrain
God, come to my assistance.
Lord make haste to help me.
Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning,
is now and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
Good night, friends of Christ.

is ok if anyone is offendervv we haveplay doh and carleens therapy doggy
Don't forget the cocoa. And Bernadette may let you wrap up in a quilt. Or....Ches could borrow an 18 lb. security blankee.
18lb wooby makes great gift idea for the hubby
To calm my husband's stress I would need a 50 lb. blanket and a ton of play doh. And a helmet playing chant.
Are you serious 50lb?? I have one that is almost 50-55 lb but it causes me stress when I take it for 5 mins. After that i dont feel comfortable even I cant bear the weight of it and begin to sweat. To be honest it helps when i come from out side to get warm but u cant spent whole night in it... for that i usually use some light weight blanket even burrito blanket is a good option.
Will do.
