I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
And, PS
I know the best boysenberry pie, better than Knott's berry farm and a little vanilla ice cream too
My insurance paid for the rental car for up to two weeks (I think), and they were pretty quick in processing the claim. I got the check before I had to return the rental.
Sending hugs your way.
Well, it’s an unexpected way to get a new vehicle. There is your silver lining.
I still say and I know you do too. I’m just glad that no one was hurt. That’s what’s most important. The rest is just an inconvenience which is simply part of life. A pain, but we all go through pain and hurt in our lives.
Sometimes bad things that happen end up being blessings in disguise.
Lots of free time here for prayers, everyone.
A family evacuating fires has the wife/mother in hospital for lungs, please pray for her today.
What in the what? He’s 35 years old and hasn’t worked since he was like 22 (and only for a year!).....if he has money to gamble with, it means my mom is STILL giving him money every time she goes out of town! I realize it’s her money but I have tried to get her to stop giving him CASH! He is an unemployed alcoholic and why she gives him cash I will never understand! He does not go anywhere, he doesn’t have any friends. He doesn’t have a job to go to. Is it any surprise he continually falls off the wagon? Giving him cash means he can go across the highway to the mini mart & buy alcohol! When I asked her why she does that (and she always leaves him at least $100), she said it’s so he can eat. I’ve told her that she can always stock the kitchen before she leaves! She can even make meals and freeze them for him if she’s that worried! He does most of the cooking these days so it’s not like he won’t cook for himself. But she won’t do it. She just gives him cash!
And then this gambling thing? Calling the parents to ask if he should go blow the money at the casino? What in the hell? All I can say is......must be nice. And then again if he blows it at the casino, he can’t go to the store & buy beer with it.
It is just frustrating seeing him get a free ride all these years. I am blown away at the enabling that goes on year after year.......really just chaps my hide sometimes! And to hear how he treats my parents?
Thanks Polar! Me too. I would be happy with a used 2018-2019 model but we haven’t been able to find one with low miles. All the used 2019s have 40k + miles!
send, I hope that woman will be alright! These fires are bad. I am in the middle of the SoCal and the Bay Area fires so the air quality here is terrible as we are getting smoke from both ends! Very thankful we are safe from the fires but the smoke is really messing with me! I can only imagine how bad it is for people with lung issues. I think all this smoke the reason my son’s eyes have been red and itchy the last few days too.
So awful about the fires. Natural disasters are horrible. I will pray. Many people are sending good thoughts and prayers your way. 💗
Years ago, a woman that I worked with experienced a terrible house fire. I don’t remember how the fire started. Her house burned to the ground! Everyone collected clothes from their kids that wore the same size and gave to her. We took up a collection for her. She was a single mom.
I did not have children yet so I donated cash and went to the store and bought other items such as new towels, kitchen supplies and other household items that she said she needed desperately.
It was heartbreaking to see her start over in life. She had three beautiful children.
Another time I worked with a woman who accidentally left a candle burning and her cat knocked it over.
All it takes is an unattended candle to start an awful fire. She was in the kitchen and smelled the fire. She ran out of the house. She had damage but the fire department was able to put it out and repairs could be done.
Both cases no one was hurt, thank God!
Out of curiousity does anyone here hate the smell too? My husband likes it and can’t wait until he’s retired so he can smoke it every day. SMDH. I could care less if he smokes it, I just don’t want to smell it :(
Sorry, the first thing I thought of. I don’t partake but I am a music lover. There is always a joint floating around. No, make that a bazillion joints being passed back and forth. Live and let live.
People who smoke pot are very chilled out. They aren’t obnoxious like the drunks! Not everyone is a ‘happy’ drunk. It’s the other drugs that are horrible, meth, crack. and so forth. The potheads don’t bother me.
I wish it were legal everywhere, tax it. Our streets have giant potholes. Hahaha problem is that we have really crappy, corrupt politicians here that line their pockets with the money. Quite a few went to jail or in jail now.
We had an art teacher that smoked everyday in the parking lot before class. He reeked of weed when he came in the class.
You know which scent I hated as a kid. Patchouli oil! That stinks more than pot. My husband can’t stand the smell of cabbage! He tells me to only cook it if he is out of town.
I get it. I know some people who won’t go to fest because there is so much weed floating around in the air.
Hate cigars but some pipe tobacco smells nice. Guess it’s sentimental to me. My godfather smoked a pipe.
Same with weed. Cheap crap smells awful.
Some people hate cigarette smell. Others don’t mind. Yeah, I think people get immune to smells.
I remember being super super sensitive to certain smells when I was pregnant. Was horrible! I couldn’t eat or drink certain food being pregnant. I got sick if I smelled it.
Yeah, I know several people that quit smoking when pregnant because of the baby. As much of a caffeine junkie as I am. I stopped coffee when pregnant.
I can’t read in the car. I will get motion sickness. Remember before GPS, smart phones and the internet, my husband would ask me to read a map on road trips and I would get sick.
I heard the fire 🔥 last week was caused by a guy cooking outside as the power was turned off
uff da
Geeeeeez! He didn’t listen to Smokey the Bear if that’s true, huh?
Needhelp, weed isn’t legal in your state is it? I hope the cops are lax when it comes to weed LOL. I always cringe when watching Live PD and people get busted for a little weed. What a waste of time and resources. I’ll make sure I avoid that festival when I finally do make it out to N.O Haha!
I also absolutely can’t stand the smell of cigarettes. I will take weed over cigs every day. I do kind of like the smell of cigars though....But cigs are downright nasty and I can’t believe people still smoke them these days knowing how bad they are! I’m happy none of the neighbors seem to smoke cigs.
Weed isn’t legal here but no one cares at jazz fest. We have such high numbers attending the fest. The fest makes a ton of money so the city makes money from locals and tourists. Cops turn their heads during jazz fest.
Great points, cwille.
