Ever just want to tear your hair out, or someone else's? If you cannot restore a sense of balance, you will run away from home? Just want to say some things without the constraints of staying on topic? Well, this thread is for you! If you just need a short break to let it all hang out, be a brat, then come on, you can do it. No holding back! Go for it, you can do it.
Do you get cheese on that burger, whole grilled onions, or protein style without the bun?
Then, at Twoheys, ONLY desserts!
Pammzi, Same old pains...At $5,500 per month for Al, No one is going anywhere!
My loved ones would never pay that just based on principle alone.
And, calls from senior housing at 8:15 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. just have got to stop. Since the housing inquiries were not for me, and strangers are asking questions I cannot answer, calling 2x per day, "on a recorded line!", at really inconvenient times, I have huge regrets clicking that "Find Housing" button, internet inquiries are to be avoided, just as everyone has always warned. Stress and desperation can lend itself to poor choices.
Back to bed!
Ahh - the ALF and a room with a view sounds nice - wish mom wasn't such a berserker Viking sometimes and could cope with being in a private room - few folks can afford $5,500 a month and I shudder at the price of mom's shared room in memory care
Nice suggestion about Twoheys- yes the sundaes are still wonderful with bittersweet hot fudge - r u a fan of the stinko burger?
They have a Memory Care section also. Just off the I-5 fwy. Expensive imo.
The people were nice, looked well-cared for. The views of the sunset and wide open space were amazing. My family would thrive there with dignity.
Pets allowed.
Would you mind if I shared that your birthday is this weekend?
Maybe everyone that can wants to meet up at IN N OUT near you?
Or, next door to the one with Twoheys restaurant for the very best hot fudge sundaes! Do they still have them?
However, the real "Dear John" letter is a real Dear John letter, I agree.
On a related note, I've noticed that the younger generation doesn't always use the term ditto correctly, subbing the word diddo. I bet even most of the ones who spell it correctly don't know that it was a brand of copying machine!
I still have a flip phone so I don't access the internet. My buddy is the good old fashioned desk top computer with an actual keyboard. I grew up the era of the old black manual typewriter, with the black/red ribbon, and the typewriter eraser pencil. And carbon paper. We sure have come a long way when it comes to typing :)
Yes the second verse is obviously the dear john letter - ha ha
FF,
I apologize for my usual lack of punctuation but typing on an iPad with just my index finger makes me forgo formalities
I try to compensate with white space :)
I learned a long time ago, when one writes, the article has to have who, what, where, when, and why. I've always remembered that.
Here are two exact same Dear John letters, examples of punctuation changing the meaning:
Dear John:
I want a man who knows what love is all about.
You are generous, kind, thoughtful.
People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior.
You have ruined me for other men.
I yearn for you.
I have no feelings whatsoever when we’re apart.
I can be forever happy.
Will you let me be yours?
Gloria
Now let’s see how those same words read with the punctuation in different places:
Dear John:
I want a man who knows what love is.
All about you are generous, kind, thoughtful people, who are not like you.
Admit to being useless and inferior.
You have ruined me.
For other men, I yearn.
For you, I have no feelings whatsoever.
When we’re apart, I can be forever happy.
Will you let me be?
Yours,
Whoever wrote this is very funny.
Now, please help figure out: Is it "Starve a cold, feed a fever", or "Starve a fever...."
Feel better soon!
Funny, but that is exactly what I should have said to a friend, going outside in the rain. Why do we risk our health when caring for someone is so very important?
When it gets overwhelming, lets not forget to behave ourselves when it counts.
Please.
Hoping they can get some real help.
I tell ya - I have weird dreams lately! Not bad, not too scary, thankfully. Just very strange and vivid enough for me to remember them after I wake up.
But, she moved in, had kittens that night, months later I was finding them homes.
