I’m sorry to hear about your time w your mom HDH. Sounds like a tough day.

But nothing that Fields of Dreams can’t help. (Such a great movie)

She’s in good spirits, but the gravity of the situation is starting to hit her. She’s doing all the right things. Getting some loose ends tied up, and making sure all bases are covered. I did take her by a car dealership and we looked at a newer car for her, so she’s still thinking long term! Not even a thought of not driving anymore! I take that as a good sign!

Have to get prepped for work early today. SWMBO has a procedure today that they wont let her drive home, then mom’s big event tomorrow. I might have to play hooky a day…

Some River MZ…about ten yards this side of the bridge on the right, was my great-grandfather’s farm. My mother was born in the old house that still stands, but has long just been a storage area for cousins who maintained it. Last I heard they were going to tear it down. The state came in and either bought the strip or took it through eminent domain not sure which, but the ramp leading up dominated the view off the front porch. That’s been before I was born. We didn’t visit much as my grandmother didn’t drive and my auntie who lived there drove so would come to us. The times we did go out, all I remember was a herd of kitties, and more snake pieces parts laying about….

Them kitties do their jobs well…

I feel your pain.... my mom and I trip felt like a goodbye tour... it is scary.... thinking one day i will be an orphan

Ugh…. I know. She and I are the last of our nuclear family. I had a sister that passed before me so we’re it. I handled my father’s death pretty well relatively speaking, but I don’t think I’ll handle hers that way.

One thing I take comfort in is she gets to spend every waking moment with her great granddaughter. Our oldest moved in until they save enough for a house, so every morning is out in the swing with her and doing things together through the day. The bond they have is really something to behold.

Just taking it easy today

Found these out by our fence line.

A few apricot colored Lilly’s. Wife or I don’t know how they got here… or the Shasta Daisy. But they’re here.

My beautiful smelling Japanese Lilly’s are not tho.

Had a neighbor trade me some elephant ears for some crepe Myrtle’s a few years ago. The E-ears pop up in the earnest places.

I came home last week and one had pushed its way up in my Bonsai I repotted last year! The one I posted pics on. I have no clue how it germinated in that pot? It stays on the screened in porch so unless they release spores? That or some Wood Fairy is playing a joke on me…

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

Me ex-BIL sent me this clip.

He is super funny and we still get along, even though had a divorce from his sister for nearly 15 years.

Anyway, this clip is fucking hilarious. If you have a Monday morning, funk, this may help.

All right…one last post this a.m.

Dick Clark pops out and Batman says he’s from Philly. When my mother graduated she moved up to DeeCee and moved in with my aunt and her husband for a year or so. They went up to Philly and danced on American Bandstand! .

I only remember AB when it was in LA…

A friend of ours gave us some hops to grow. I used to make my own beer and thought this would be a great addition.

Can I tell you that shit is still “hopping” up 10 or more years on. It is so fucking hard to kill.

I noticed some growing at our farm and I have no fucking idea how!

 

[Wonderer67]

A good cowgirl nurse. Yep.



Reverse cowgirl is good, too.

There something about nurses….

 

[dkak001]

Two gold fish are in a tank.

One looks at the other and says, “You know how to drive this thing?”

 

[Greylag]

Yep...I was like fill me up charge nurse.... and you know nurses.... there are those that do and those that dont

Yes i heard that call a few times when in hospital ..... grins

 

[dkak001]

String em together..always sounds creative

Ryan Reynolds is the king of stringing them together.

One of my personal favorites, from a cheesy vampire movie.

Sluts...especially er nurses.... other specialties i am not sure.... lillianna?

 

[Missk_2022]

I literally had the loudest thunder ... made me jump out of my seat

 

[Tweedledude]

I can't get them to post

Sluts...especially er nurses.... other specialties i am not sure.... lillianna

Now now Missk lol

 

[Missk_2022]

You should see the rain

Yes yes you are it must be the Monday

In my past experiences, a commonality I've seen about nurses is that they don't tend to be "squeamish."

Be very careful, we just had a very damaging storm come through. Heavy heavy, thunder and lightning and very strong, wind gusts, and pouring rain.

Our power is out.

Weather conditions like this in the Philadelphia area are common.
I was born and raised there. I used to work in the West Chester area.

 

[Wonderer67]

Power is back.

The lightning and thunder were almost instantaneous. Really heavy gusts and 3/4” of rain in about 20 minutes.

A few branches down, and I thought all of our sunflowers got blown over, but we only had one casualty!

You guys in the Midwest are probably laughing at my over dramatic storm report.

And now a little humor...

Monday - C U Next Tuesday... I mean, really!
But it's "done and dusted" leaving 7/1 to loom
What's everyone else up to today?

It'll be smooth sailing tomorrow

Your lips to the Universe's ears...
Update: Had its moments but could have been worse

so frustrating when people go cheap and use trash products. but all done now and the water is fine.

Yikes!
I like to hope in those situations that it was a case of Fiscal Challenges and not Miserism or such.
Glad you have the know-how and ability to effect the change without a massive bill.

I bought the world’s worst thesaurus yesterday.

Not only is it terrible, it’s terrible.

Welcome back... you were missed
Hope the busy season is bearable - with all the Bs, EARs, and ABLEs

Do you know any I don't know? Trade?

New Thread just dropped... #Following!!

Exactly! The busiest person always gets the most work, however.

The most competent, too...

Luckily you’re handy. You don’t know how much you rely on water till ya don’t have any.

I actually got 7 hours of sleep so I was good for the day. Anything less than 7, I drag and need a nap.

Knowledge is Power... glad you know where the line is drawn for you

Good morning early risers! News today is a massive industrial fire that is releasing dark clouds of who knows what, in the big City. I am safe but feel for those affected.

The "ick" spreads farther than you think... be safe, B2

String em together..always sounds creative

It's easy...just imagine your patient pulling out his central line.... or dropping the propofol bottle.....

I don't work in medical and just the thought of the central line has me wanting to string a few together in reaction

Yep...I was like fill me up charge nurse.... and you know nurses.... there are those that do and those that dont

Roomed in college w/ 2 of the don'ts
One was a nurse for years, but hoping she either stepped up her game or had a career change along the line

Me ex-BIL sent me this clip.

Kudos to your ex-BIL... I recognized far more than expected. Was a nice background diversion today.

I did take her by a car dealership and we looked at a newer car for her, so she’s still thinking long term! Not even a thought of not driving anymore! I take that as a good sign!

As do I... I was a bit concerned until this... reassured now.

One thing I take comfort in is she gets to spend every waking moment with her great granddaughter. Our oldest moved in until they save enough for a house, so every morning is out in the swing with her and doing things together through the day. The bond they have is really something to behold.

Beautiful! I have one snapshot of 4 generations of women... I'm a baby. Given that I was 2 when my great-grandma passed, it's so special and the only one with all 4 of us together in the one photo.

Internet has 2 words for you on Elephant Ears: corms and runners
Crepe Myrtle: seeds and suckers
Sounds legit... I mean...

Family friend w/ a fledgling Interior Design business used hops inside her home. Ended up with an infestation... aphids, mites? Not sure but she was not happy other than it was her home and not a client's.

One of my personal favorites, from a cheesy vampire movie.

*tucks that away for a rainy day*

Wouldn't have you any other way... unless it means less stress for you.

In my past experiences, a commonality I've seen about nurses is that they don't tend to be "squeamish."

You are aware of their job duties, yes?

Be very careful, we just had a very damaging storm come through. Heavy heavy, thunder and lightning and very strong, wind gusts, and pouring rain.

Our power is out.

I was going to say:
Stay safe... take precautions... fill pitchers and bowls with tap water just in case... hope the power isn't out too long.
But now?
Nevermind

Power is back.

Yay!! That was quick. 5 0 Complaints

You guys in the Midwest are probably laughing at my over dramatic storm report.

It's all relative - but storms that take out the power? Something serious is going on...
I do admit to not getting overly concerned unless the sky turns a sickly shade of green

And now a little humor...

Thanks, Rj Needed that
