The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Sorry for your loss.

I am, of course, on another corner of this triangle. But I suspect that the Chiefs will roll out every injured, blind and just not damned good enough player tonight so that the bucking (sic) Broncos will romp home. To compound our collective misery, the Dolphins will almost certainly snatch a 4th quarter defeat from the jaws of an almost certain victory!
I, for one am a Kansas City Chiefs fan and I hope they win...

Afternoon all

My poor mom can barely talk… she’s pretty weak. But when I asked her last night if she wanted coffee, she said quite clearly “half milk with a lot of sugar.” 😂

Thanks for your well wishes. She is not in any pain.
🫂 Very glad she's comfortable and still able to enjoy her favorite coffee

He died in the wee hours of yesterday morning.
🫂 My condolences on your loss, Wat. Family is complicated but still family. Thinking of you during this time.
Back in the states and man….who left the fridge open? 🥶. It only gets worse for me as I’m ending up in ND 😲. Stay warm my friends….
Best take a few extra layers and make sure you can protect your entire head and face. I think they have 1 tree to break the wind for the entire state?? :oops:
I got 8 hours of sleep for the first time in a month. I had been averaging 6 to 7 and needing naps. I feel great. I need to replicate what I did yesterday.
:nana: That's a win, B2. Hope you can find the correct combination of variables to replicate this formula consistently!!
(Then share with the rest of us, right? ;) )
What a blessing to not be in pain.... hospice is a godsend for people
I agree. They have special rules for pain management that are so crucial at these times. And the staff? My experience with hospice staff has been incredibly positive. I hope @Wonderer67 and his family have a similar experience.

Stay Toasty, everyone!
I'm off to start some homemade soup. Because, brrr

I'm gonna have to utilize your method of catching up. Glad you do i can use your post to catch up also. Hope everyone is warm and comfortable this blustery winter day...
 
You know those days when you shouldn't have gotten out of bed? I should have guessed this was one, when I started fixing a faucet, and a small leak in some piping.

Faucet was a royal pain. The pipe was even worse. Cracked bronze fitting. Can't get a replacement today, and trying to mess with it made it worse. Had to clean and solder it shut as a temporary repair...

This new bronze is potable water 'safe', but starts springing leaks in only a few years.

I think I want to go back to carrying it with a bucket! 🤬
 
Chores done, Christmas put away. My butt is now planted in my recliner watching the game. Oh yeah, went and got my right ear pierced today. My wife has been teasing me to get it done, so I asked our daughter for recommendations on reputable piercing/tattoo studios. She gave me the name of a couple so I went and got it done. It will be interesting tomorrow at work when “Mr. Conservative” (they have no clue about Lit) comes I with an ear pierced.
 
***Attention*** I just heard from greylag and he wishes everyone the best of there holidays. He apologizes for not being on and advised me that his 89 year old mom has had a seizure, and is doing her best at recovery. I advised him that he and his whole family, especially his mom will be in our thoughts and prayers. He also said when he can he will be returning and misses everyone.

It must be the weekend. Mom's preferred younger brother (the older one is a raging asshole) has been on the Alzheimer's downward slope. Last week he started circling the drain. He died in the wee hours of yesterday morning. Meh. The funeral will be either the 11th (way easier) or the 16th (a pain in my ass). Of course, it's out of town and I'll be chauffeuring.
I’m sorry to hear of his passing, Wat. Sounds like you went close, but it’s good you can be there for your mom especially. I’m sure it will be very trying.

Deep breaths, brother.
