As we Silver Surfers know, sometimes we have trouble with our computers. I had a problem yesterday, so I called Eric, the 11 year old next door, whose bedroom looks like Mission Control and asked him to come over. Eric clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem.
As he was walking away, I called after him, 'So, what was wrong?
He replied, 'It was an ID ten T error.'
I didn't want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired,
'An ID ten T error? What's that? In case I need to fix it again.'
Eric grinned ...'Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?
'No,' I replied.
'Write it down,' he said, 'and I think you'll figure it out.'
So I wrote down:
ID10T
I used to like Eric, the little shit head.
If you're not a Senior yet (HAH !) then send this to someone who is.
I forgot to mention last night that I had two cancer spots surgically removed from in front of my ear up from the jawbone. The doc told it it was just a little spot so I figured no problem right? He started by finding the LITTLE spot and said there was another one close by so he would take care of that one also. I said ok so he starts numbing up the spots and starts on the first one. Does the second one and the put a covering on it while they do the lab work to make sure they got it all and an hour later the doc says they got all of the first one but not the second one so back in we go. Numb it up again and less than 5 minutes I'm back in the waiting room sitting with the wife again. An hour later they call me and said they got it all this time and they just had to stitch it up and we could go home. I came back to the wife and she said my what a big hunk of gauze and tape. Well i took it off tonight so I could take a shower and clean it up and said Holy Cow. The cut was about 3 and a half inches long and the wife counted 20 stitches. No wonder I didn't sleep last night. It hurt like heck. The leftside of my cheek bone is all swollen and the bone itself hurts so they must have got right down to the bone and scraped it clean. He didn't tell me all this. Everything looks good but yowser. Well enough about me. No news about my brothers legs yet but if he doesn't start to exercise or do something the Michelon tire guy is going to have some competition. The heart might be fixed but you still need to move around a little bit. The friend of the wife's, her mother fell at broke her hip so now she will be transfered to a nursing home that deals with alzheimers and dementsha which is going to be good for Cindy. She just couldn't handle her mom any more. Well kuli we still think about you and everyone else on the site. Everyone is in our thoughts and prayer for what you have gone through and for some are still going through. Hugs to all and hope to have some new stuff for ya. I try to hold off on repeats but some are still good the second or third time around. luvCuz
Hey, Bobbie. Entering the dark zone, 2nd anniversary of dad's passing on Oct 26th. Lots of changes at work. Crazy times but can't help but remember where I was at 2 years ago. The memories kill you at times. Thanks for thinking of me. Hugs ~ Kuli
Internet in and out and just was able to read and catch up with everyone.
Juju, sure is good to see you and lil deb and mame and meanwhile and cuz and Jen! what's new over at your place? DEEF!!! the new folks who posted: hope you guys are coping as best you can...
Austin! how goes it with your sweet life?
Kuli! everybody!
I missed a boatload of people so post and chew me out!
Either I am sick or that last rainstorm unleashed a vile allergen! My eyes are puffy and itchy and I have such a headache! It is so frustrating to feel bad and still have to "go to work." I am fanaticizing about going to a hotel for a week-it has to have a pool and hot tub and a massage parlor. My food & drink will be brought to me as I request. There will be entertainment every night. Food will have no calories and there will be no charge for my stay! Who is in?!
Mick and Jean were 85 years old and had been married for sixty years. Though they were far from rich, they managed to get by because they carefully watched their pennies. Though not young, they were both in very good health, largely due to Mary's insistence on healthy foods and exercise for the last decade. One day, their good health didn't help when they went on yet another holiday vacation and their plane crashed, sending them off to Heaven. They reached the pearly gates, and St. Peter escorted them inside. He took them to a beautiful mansion, furnished in gold and fine silks, with a fully stocked kitchen and a waterfall in the master bath. A maid could be seen hanging their favorite clothes in the closet. They gasped in astonishment when he said, 'Welcome to Heaven. This will be your home now.' Mick asked Peter how much all this was going to cost. 'Why, nothing,' Peter replied, 'remember, this is your reward in Heaven.' Mick looked out the window and right there he saw a championship golf course, finer and more beautiful than any ever built on Earth.. 'What are the greens fees?,' grumbled Mick. 'This is heaven,' St. Peter replied. 'You can play for free, every day.' Next they went to the clubhouse and saw the lavish buffet lunch. 'Don't even ask,' said St. Peter to Mick. This is Heaven, it is all free for you to enjoy.' Mick looked around and nervously asked Jean, 'Well, where are the low fat and low cholesterol foods and the decaffeinated tea?' 'That's the best part,' St. Peter replied. 'You can eat and drink as much as you like and you will never get fat or sick. This is Heaven!' 'No gym to work out at?' said Mick 'Not unless you want to,' was the answer. 'No testing my sugar or blood pressure or...' 'Never again'
Mick glared at Jean and said, 'You and your darn Bran Flakes. We could have been here ten years ago!'
Juju, I remember when I had to wash clothes n the bathtub n sheets n etc. It is a job. Plus, heating water n a pot to just do the dishes so I understand n feel about getting that hot water, Enjoy, enjoy n enjoy. ; )
Meanwhile, thanks for understanding n it’s get hard to keep trying to make her happy sometimes. I know u r glad to get the house done n ready to be rented out, way to go! I know that takes a lot of time, patient n $$$. Glad to hear that Indio is doing well too. Yes, that lucky part goes both with ways with u two n so happy for you. However, I wish u wouldn’t ride where a big truck coming down the road for u never know when even the easy breezy ones can even get spooked. Please be careful. Glad u enjoyed your out. Luv the cobweb decoration idea. Jen, I didn’t know u were sick n for 7 days n I hope u r feeling better by now? As for the little chick, u did say it was a late one so maybe it wouldn’t had made it anyway. Sad to hear all that after u tried to save the little thing. Like Meanwhile said, U have a kind heart. Jen, good for u getting out n spending a little $ on yourself for good grief u r way overdue entitle to some. Good for you! Jen, run to that damn boat time offer with cuz n don’t worry about that bill till Oct. U should be alright if u r able to give just 5 or 10 bucks at a time. Cuz, thanks about Bobbie n hopefully she will get her internet running soon. And omg!!! The story of Pepsi n stiffy n bust lifties. U had me rolling all over the place that I had to get a napkin to wipe my eyeballs. Thanks u soooooooooooooooo much. I will have to pass that one around. Wow! If no one can get a laugh out of that one something is just seriously wrong with your sense of no humor. ; ) Olmaandme, Wow! 93 n still going that is good. Can u put your dog up until your mom gets done eating so that the they r not sharing for that is what I have to do but my mil will try to slip it under the table. Have u tried to see if your mom will wear depends? Just call them underpants for grown-ups n see if she will try them or is this just onetime things that happen with the not making it to the bathroom? Good luck n hang in their n come on back to share.
Well, I will try to catch up on more later. That's what I get for playing games on FB. ; ) TTyl
Hi Everyone: I have been getting addicted to the games on FB, sorry but I didn’t want anyone to think I have forgotten y’all on here. Some of u r on FB so I can check on yall on their too. Weather is starting to change n I have been busy where I will start n one room n end up n another room trying to pull/put away clothes for the weather. I feel like I have gotten nowhere still. Mil is doing good as long as I stay on her to eat n every bit portion size of a 8yr old. Sometimes I think the child could eat more. She drinks more liquid than eating n starts to fill up on the liquid. Yet, as for that she is doing fine with her mean self. Mame, glad to hear that your mom got outside for a bit n it sounds like u may have gotten a wee bit of rest afterward too. It hasn’t gotten that cold here yet n I am not ready for the cold, maybe the cool but not cold. I wish my mil act as if she enjoys eating for even if I put some dipping sauce on her plate to help make things moist like the chicken nuggets Every bit of 4 n about 4 fries. She will get upset n not won’t it for she thinks the sauce is more food. I will have to explain it to her n then she will use the sauce. Today for some reason she took a spoonful n put the sauce n her mouth n went yuck! Yuckie poo me too. She has never done that before. Maybe its having too many things at one time on a plate that is overwhelming? Yet, If I try to add the rest after she gets done with the first she probably won’t eat. Idk. Here u r trying to push fluids with your mom n I am trying to keep my mil from filling up on fluids so she will eat. Go figure. Austin, I sure hope so about the knowing part of eating. She still gets around real good independently n can walk good when we go grocery shopping n stuff. I may have to slow down sometimes but she can go when she wants too. I know the Alz., is taking its toll on her n u can see it sometimes during the daytime n that kind of worries me too. Even though I could do not do anything right for her only son, I still hate this disease. Does adding the mil to the powder form help it from tasting like nasty powder milk? Anyway, U don’t say much about yourself so, I hope u r doing alright? I like your jokes too.
I am still catching up on reading so hang on everyone, I am not done. ; )
I too love October and the changing of the seasons, it is so much more colorful than anything we were used to back home! Got hot water finally today! Yes!!!! Still doing dishes in tub n cooking w hot plate microwave n toaster oven. But hot water was really missed most. Working on internet next! Half way thru week has been pretty good in comparison to the last many!! Happy hump day! Peace, Juju
An Arizona Highway Patrol officer stops a Harley for traveling faster than the posted speed limit, so he asks the biker his name. 'Fred,' he replies. 'Fred what?' the officer asks. 'Just Fred,' the man responds. The officer is in a good mood, thinks he might just give the biker a break, and write him out a warning instead of a ticket. The officer then presses him for the last name. The man tells him that he used to have a last name but lost it. The officer thinks that he has a nut case on his hands but plays along with it. 'Tell me, Fred, how did you lose your last name?' The biker replies, 'It's a long story, so stay with me.' I was born Fred Johnson. I studied hard and got good grades. When I got older, I realized that I wanted to be a doctor. I went through college, medical school, internship, residency, and finally got my degree, so I was Fred Johnson, MD. After a while I got bored being a doctor, so I decided to go back to school. Dentistry was my dream! Got all the way through School, got my degree, so then I was Fred Johnson, MD, DDS. Got bored doing dentistry, so I started fooling around with my assistant and she gave me VD, so now I was Fred Johnson, MD, DDS, with VD. Well, the ADA found out about the VD, so they took away my DDS. Then I was Fred Johnson, MD, with VD. Then the AMA found out about the ADA taking away my DDS because of the VD, so they took away my MD leaving me as Fred Johnson with VD. Then the VD took away my 'Johnson', so now I am Just Fred.' The officer walked away in tears, laughing.
Much better day today. I guess I really needed to check back in, sorry such a rant. I wanted to thank everyone for their thoughts on losing my Romeo. I AM having a hard time with his loss. life os easier w/o the poop but I feel like shit for having to do it. I try to think was better than a raccoon or whatever
You think you have lived to be 80 plus and know who you are, then along comes someone and blows it all to hell!
An old Marine Pilot sat down at the Starbucks, still wearing his old USMC flight jacket and ordered a cup of coffee.
As he sat sipping his coffee, a young woman sat down next to him. She turned to the pilot and asked, Are you a real pilot? He replied, 'Well, I've spent my whole life flying planes, first Stearmans, then the early Grummans... flew a Wildcat and Corsair in WWII, and later in the Korean conflict, Banshees and Cougars. I've taught more than 260 people to fly and given rides to hundreds, so I guess I am a pilot, and you, what are you?
She said, 'I'm a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about naked women. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about naked women. When I shower, I think about naked women. When I watch TV, I think about naked women. It seems everything makes me think of naked women.'
The two sat sipping in silence.
A little while later, a young man sat down on the other side of the old pilot and asked: "Are you a real pilot?"
He replied, 'I always thought I was, but I just found out, I'm a lesbian!'
We did do ok this year on alz walk. My bff came up and did it with us n brought couple her friends. They campaigned at their job and collected most of our contribution. So thankful!
The teacher asked the class to use the word 'fascinate' in a sentence.
Molly put up her hand and said, 'My family went to my granddad's farm, And we all saw his pet sheep. It was fascinating.' The teacher said, 'That was good, but I wanted you to use the word 'fascinate, not fascinating'. Sally raised her hand. She said, 'My family went to see Rock City and I was 'fascinated.
' The teacher said, 'Well, that was good Sally, but I wanted you to use the word 'fascinate.' Little Johnny raised his hand. The teacher hesitated because she had been burned by Little Johnny before. She finally decided there was no way he could damage the word 'fascinate' so she called on him. Johnny said, 'My aunt Carolyn has a sweater with ten buttons, but her tits are so big she can only fasten eight.' The teacher sat down and cried.
Jen! Don't lose it. You can do this I swear. Take some more money from FP and tell everyone to kiss your a$$. This is criminal and you don't have to suffer like this. Love you Jen.... I am going to hit Submit without saying hi to each and every one of you guys before the Internet goes South on me again.
Juju! you hang on too.
Love all you guys and sorry I have been in the throes of crazy online connections.

Sorry spelking awful and hit something on phone to send before finished...anyway. I was hesitant ti post it as I am sick of complaining all time. Iam really scared tho this has just gotten to me. I am having anxiety issues and fearbis frezong me again...its just all crashing in and we aee so screwed, I feae we will lose the house or never get it fixed. I am overwhelmed and feel completly lost control just when I was geting things in cont rol... well I am hoping u will send us some hope!! 0
I just figured our how to get on site with cell phone....wow anyway happy Saturday morning. I am hesitant to post what the heck has been going on cuz it has gotten even crazier n when I came hime from taking care of romeo n bury him we were told had to get out hotel next day. and I just dont think I can handle all this..the insurance co sent the repair money to mortage co and they will not release till repairs are done so I have to come up wi th the money in the interim...and home insurance will not be possible till done either my agent screwed us mrtg co is forcing us into outrageously priced only option and therefore the help from housinf rehab program i was so exstatic about has disqualified us till insurable .im trapped in a catch 22 for now had to pay n I put in temp floor to make livable. least we are home and it is way easier to care for mom with her hospital bed. And turned 50 tues, that doesnt help...well altho glad home it is hell now and I fear I wont be able to gain control of this situation. I dont habe tje money, its over 15k. I just cant do everything anymore. I still got everything else we were in the middle of.
My mother once urinated in a vase as she could not make it to bathroom.She then put the flowers back into it. She often hides soiled undies in her room.Thank goodess my dog is a poop detector as we must search,destroy and sanitize on a daily basis. I hide my personal items such as my hairbrush or she uses them on my dogs) and have a spray bottle of disinfectant w paper towels in every room as mom is no longer aware that she must wash her hands after toileting or other "activities" Because she is 93 she has decided the best way to save her VERY strong natural teeth is to mash it in her mouth and spit it onto the plate if she feels it's to tough for her teeth.I cook everything of hers to DEATH and beat any meat served to a pulp as well as furnishing her with a little bag for "scraps" She lets my dog lick her plate! sooooo she now has her own set of dishes as though I wash all dishes on HIGH temp it still grosses me out.

Austin, I sure hope so about the knowing part of eating. She still gets around real good independently n can walk good when we go grocery shopping n stuff. I may have to slow down sometimes but she can go when she wants too. I know the Alz., is taking its toll on her n u can see it sometimes during the daytime n that kind of worries me too. Even though I could do not do anything right for her only son, I still hate this disease. Does adding the mil to the powder form help it from tasting like nasty powder milk? Anyway, U don’t say much about yourself so, I hope u r doing alright? I like your jokes too.
I am still catching up on reading so hang on everyone, I am not done. ; )

An Arizona Highway Patrol officer stops a Harley for traveling faster than the posted speed limit, so he asks the biker his name.
'Fred,' he replies.
'Fred what?' the officer asks.
'Just Fred,' the man responds.
The officer is in a good mood, thinks he might just give the biker a break, and write him out a warning instead of a ticket. The officer then presses him for the last name.
The man tells him that he used to have a last name but lost it.
The officer thinks that he has a nut case on his hands but plays along with it. 'Tell me, Fred, how did you lose your last name?'
The biker replies, 'It's a long story, so stay with me.' I was born Fred Johnson. I studied hard and got good grades. When I got older, I realized that I wanted to be a doctor. I went through college, medical school, internship, residency, and finally got my degree, so I was Fred Johnson, MD. After a while I got bored being a doctor, so I decided to go back to school. Dentistry was my dream! Got all the way through School, got my degree, so then I was Fred Johnson, MD, DDS. Got bored doing dentistry, so I started fooling around with my assistant and she gave me VD, so now I was Fred Johnson, MD, DDS, with VD.
Well, the ADA found out about the VD, so they took away my DDS. Then I was Fred Johnson, MD, with VD. Then the AMA found out about the ADA taking away my DDS because of the VD, so they took away my MD leaving me as Fred Johnson with VD. Then the VD took away my 'Johnson', so now I am Just Fred.'
The officer walked away in tears, laughing.
I wanted to thank everyone for their thoughts on losing my Romeo. I AM having a hard time with his loss. life os easier w/o the poop but I feel like shit for having to do it. I try to think was better than a raccoon or whatever
You think you have lived to be 80 plus and know who you are, then along comes someone and blows it all to hell!
An old Marine Pilot sat down at the Starbucks, still wearing his old USMC flight jacket and ordered a cup of coffee.
As he sat sipping his coffee, a young woman sat down next to him. She turned to the pilot and asked, Are you a real pilot?
He replied, 'Well, I've spent my whole life flying planes, first Stearmans, then the early Grummans... flew a Wildcat and Corsair in WWII, and later in the Korean conflict, Banshees and Cougars. I've taught more than 260 people to fly and given rides to hundreds, so I guess I am a pilot, and you, what are you?
She said, 'I'm a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about naked women. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about naked women. When I shower, I think about naked women. When I watch TV, I think about naked women. It seems everything makes me think of naked women.'
The two sat sipping in silence.
A little while later, a young man sat down on the other side of the old pilot and asked: "Are you a real pilot?"
He replied, 'I always thought I was, but I just found out,
I'm a lesbian!'
The teacher asked the class to use the word 'fascinate' in a sentence.
Molly put up her hand and said, 'My family went to my granddad's farm,
And we all saw his pet sheep. It was fascinating.'
The teacher said, 'That was good, but I wanted you to use the word 'fascinate, not fascinating'.
Sally raised her hand. She said, 'My family went to see Rock City and I was 'fascinated.
' The teacher said, 'Well, that was good Sally, but I wanted you to use the word 'fascinate.'
Little Johnny raised his hand.
The teacher hesitated because she had been burned by Little Johnny before.
She finally decided there was no way he could damage the word 'fascinate' so she called on him.
Johnny said, 'My aunt Carolyn has a sweater with ten buttons, but her tits are so big she can only fasten eight.'
The teacher sat down and cried.
Don't lose it. You can do this I swear. Take some more money from FP and tell everyone to kiss your a$$. This is criminal and you don't have to suffer like this.
Love you Jen.... I am going to hit Submit without saying hi to each and every one of you guys before the Internet goes South on me again.

She often hides soiled undies in her room.Thank goodess my dog is a poop detector as we must search,destroy and sanitize on a daily basis.
I hide my personal items such as my hairbrush or she uses them on my dogs) and have a spray bottle of disinfectant w paper towels in every room as mom is no longer aware that she must wash her hands after toileting or other "activities"
Because she is 93 she has decided the best way to save her VERY strong natural teeth is to mash it in her mouth and spit it onto the plate if she feels it's to tough for her teeth.I cook everything of hers to DEATH and beat any meat served to a pulp as well as furnishing her with a little bag for "scraps"
She lets my dog lick her plate! sooooo she now has her own set of dishes as though I wash all dishes on HIGH temp it still grosses me out.
