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.
SIL was in much the same situation. We were celebrating among other things our once again empty nests.
Way, way too much togetherness plus everyone brought their pets.
It is over, we survived, we have some tall tales to tell about the event for years to come.
Our home did not blow apart like we thought it would at times but has some pretty significant damage. Insurance Co has been very cooperative...so far.
I will never, ever, ever, ever stay through another storm. I will put the above ingredients in my Go BAG and go!
Triple Sec
Fresh Lemon Juice
Cranberry Juice
Shaken Not Stirred...LoL
Martini Glass
Consume...Relax
Follow with a steamy hot soak in the tub...aaahhhh
Excellent!
Did not know you were in the storm too!
We should put those ingredients on the list for emergency kits.
I was so happy! My bff, hubby's sister called on her way home from work. She wanted to have a board meeting. Gab session. Okay. When she got here she asked if I had any adult beverages. :0 Okay. When she got here we dug around and decided to have Cosmos. Omg! We paced ouselves and had 3 in 3.5 hours. It was 4:30 but 5 o'clock somewhere! Omg we gabbed and griped and cussed and cursed the storms.
I am a very bad girl but it's the first time I have relaxed in 3 weeks. I probably should be a bad girl more often....
One night at dinner,trying to make conversation,I said"I heard at a meeting that pepper makes your sex life better" and my Mom picked up the pepper shaker and firmly set it on Dad's empty plate and he picked it up and threw it hard and it hit Mother's arm.I didn't understand then but later I found out that my Dad had just become impotent and Mother was very upset about it.
From then on,we whispered "Pass the S&P" quietly.I still feel bad and wish I never said anything.
The second one chimed in. "Yes I find myself on the landing and can't remember whether i was going upstairs or down"
The third one said . "Glad I don't have those problems, knock on wood" and she bangs on the table. "Is that the door? I"ll get it"
Sorry Send.
Me and my phone...I do drive by posts and don't get back regularly during the day. :o
There is a tiny rectangle showing on my kindle.
This also happened with a recent post from Sharyn.
Whatever it says, thanks, I think?
Had a newly married friend whose black Saturday pair with red stitching fell out of her pants leg at her MILs house on a Sunday afternoon. There on the dining room floor for all to see. Her MIL raised an eyebrow and said "those underwear are very small but are in good shape and it's good to know my sons wife keeps up with the laundry". Apparently "Saturdays" pair came out of the dryer inside her pants leg. She nearly died of embarrassment! But she did get a couple of compliments out of the ordeal.
And I had forgotten, not just clean, but no holes, "the good underwear".
That includes the right underwear with the right day sewn on them, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.......Lol.
Maybe senior underwear could have the day sewn on.
1) A good cognitive test-Mom, you have the wrong day on, here's the right day.
2) You must! change your dirty underwear, it is the wrong day!
3) Cannot believe you haven't changed your underwear since last Tuesday!
4) Oh, n e v e r m i n d, Tuesday is tomorrow!
Lol.
Mom taught to never leave the house without being fully dressed, clean underwear, using the admonition: "What if you are in an accident and etc. etc."
So, I guess jammies are out for my drive-thru experience.
Hoping your Mom is feeling better.
It is harder when you know family in the areas of a natural disaster, imo.
Your updates have been appreciated, and I am hoping all will be well. With you too!
I am not even going to turn on the news until my coffee has me up and running.
But I can still pray without knowing the news.
More power to prayers, less power to the storm! YES!
