I wondered about that with all your snow. I hope the mush melts before the cold wave comes. No need for ice skating on your driveway.

I'll take skating rink over bare gravel. Otherwise too much gravel ends up in the yard!

Morning all... hope everyone is well rested to deal with the day

Good morning cafe denizens!

Here is an update from our dear Lili:

She has been sick and the recovery is taking longer than hoped. But she is getting better and completely focusing on her health. There is no need to worry and let’s keep sending her our best!

I'm so sorry it's taking longer to clear than desired. Keep taking care so you can come back to us.
@B2fromA2looking4U thanks for the update!

BTW the virus that has my daughter and grandchildren is also spreading like wildfire through my friends. It’s not COVID but it’s nasty. Take care. I’m being very cautious.

Norovirus numbers doubled in some Midwest states right before Christmas. there are some nasty bugs out there, folks!

That was my entire day yesterday. Lots of heat packs and some Tylenol before bed. Thankfully the rain stopped early hours of the morning. Much better joint day today.

Morning all. Feeling lazy today, but have a few small projects to knock out.

It been raining here for 10 or 12 hours. The driveway is completely mush right now. The mat that built up is like mashed potatoes with all this rain.

Hope you clear the taters before the chill hits again. Temps here due to dip again starting tomorrow.

I think there was a 304ci... Not sure if you needed anything bigger!

That is funny.... I AM going to attempt to clean out this filter thing on my front load washer. They have pictures. I can't help but think this is totally a boy job.... like fixing the pull cord thingy on my lawnmower because people will borrow it and crank on it and pull it out so it doesn't retract..... it only requires a gentle pull... prob because I maintain stuff .....

Got a car wash the other day. Now my windshield sprayers are janked. Need to find a YouTube video to show me how to realign them.

Measure twice…cut once…you knew that, but I like say’n it! Don’t overdo it today!

I went to cut up the apples and I missed a spoiled one when I got them and the whole bunch were mushy....so...no applesauce today.... ham and pinto beans today instead

 

[Oldermom935]

Okay, I read that as "appliance sauce" and promptly wondered, WTF is that she's going on about???


It must be Naptime #1 . . . .

Allot of fun in those

 

[Missk_2022]

Ham and pintos tomorrow...I got super hungry and opened up a can of chicken noodle soup. It was pretty good.... and I need a nap

 

[Noor]

That sounds good Noor. Hope you get some sustenance and are able to stay warm!

I’m sorry your friend or restaurant owner is in hospice.

Thank you! It’s the husband of old friends. It’s frustrating not to be able to do much as they have done so much for me over the years. He’s a great cook and has never gotten my food allergies wrong.

If that's the way the person feels, it is a perfectly valid way to feel.

There isn't a set script on how something like that needs to or should progress. It's about processing those feelings and emotions, and deciding what the best path foreword is. For everyone going through that, the path and results will be different. All of those possibilities (ok, assuming not murder!) are valid and acceptable.

I think it's possible to forgive and trust again, but certainly not everyone can, will, or should do so.

I’m watching a 40+ yr old marriage split apart. One spouse is acting mean, and strangely, the other is crushed. I wonder if something is physically wrong with the mean one. In the past I’ve have seen elderly people seemingly go nuts from
Urinary tract infections and pneumonia that they didn’t realize they had.
I’ve also seen people do this when cheating, even if it’s just emotional.
The crushed one doesn’t know what to think and is lost and angry.
I can understand that feeling, but I don’t know how to help other than hugs and listening.

I’ll take one!

Jackson Five was wrong, one bad apple can spoil the whole bunch.
I guess I better check my apples.

a good one.
Hello.

 

[Noor]

a good one.
Hello.

Thanks!
Hi!

 

[Azuldrgon]

Gotta love relaxing Saturdays.
House is quiet at the moment.
Not sure for how long though.

Does the "mean" one have dementia or alzheimers

There are BIG personality changes with these diseases

I am gonna stop ordering citrus with my grocery order

Do you all remember when I asked for 2 oranges and they brought 2- 5 labs of red grapefruit?

Well I ordered 3 oranges and they brought me oranges...... 2- 8 pound bags

What in all holy hell am I gonna do with 16 pounds of navel oranges

Hahahahahaha

Yeah, that's a hard one. Especially being an bystander and watching it unfold. Not much you can do other than offer the support and the ear you currently are. The brain can do weird things sometimes, and sometimes there isn't much you can do...
Sorry to hear you have to watch that going on.

Anyway. I'm sure there's ways to deal with it.
Juice
Marmalade

don’t know, but it’s possible. Trying to get my friend calm enough to get them checked out.

I can attest to that but I usually eat them fast enough they don't get to that point. An apple a day and only enough left over for pie!
