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.
This happened to me awhile ago when my oldest daughter told me what the youngest daughter did. My oldest daughter was in on the whole thing so she wasn’t exactly innocent either.
She was laughing when she told me the story. I spoke to my younger daughter about it and she didn’t know how to respond! I think she may have been upset that her sister ratted her out all these years later. Then she laughed about it too.
Hmmmm, I may try that too.
Thanks for the tip!
I have always thought that Amelia was a really beautiful, elegant name!
Need, nice to hear you think my elder daughter’s name is pretty.
I’m amazed at the amount of trash that we accumulate for just two people! Everything comes in too much packaging.
I don’t let the same one hang around too long . I use prob two dish towels per meal .
I am guilty of that too! I use too many paper towels.
My neighbor hosted a student from France in her home. He freaked out when he saw the amount of paper towels that her family used. He asked her for old towels. She gave him some and he cut them up for them to use in place of the paper towels. They did it. They made the switch.
He was a sweet kid. My friend only had a couple of issues with her foreign exchange student living in her home. Her daughter fell in love with the guy! She adored his French accent. Plus, she had to tell him that he couldn’t walk out of his room in his underwear! They are more relaxed about that stuff in France but she didn’t want her daughter staring at him.
Am I going to get rich now?
Problem: I have about 3 whine moments, every minute. That makes for a lot of moments in one full day. Maybe I belong in another thread :(.
Hopefully I can still hang around in this thread ;).
My husband says that we should own stock in Kleenex!
Yes, and guess how long it took to do the surgery? About 15 minutes for both eyes.
It is the quickest and easiest surgery that I have ever had!
My anesthesiologist said, “Hey, do you like music?” I said, “Yes, I do!” He said that he was going to play music for me and by time that the third song was over they would be just about done! He was right!
I told my ophthalmologist that she worked magic on me!
I knew how you meant it. I just wanted to share about my dad. It still touches my heart. He died many years ago, in 2002.
Here’s the thing. The one in my right eye was a normal cataract from aging. It could have waited.
The one is my left eye was a different type that was rapidly robbing me of my vision.
So, my doctor said to have it done. I couldn’t even see the big E with my left eye. I was able to see some light but nothing else.
After I had it done, I was blown away. The doctor said that I am an exception to the general population who has cataracts removed. I have 20/20 vision and don’t need reading glasses. Most people still need glasses for reading.
Hold on, I don't mean apologies from sweet people. I meant, apologies from people who really should apologize for major things, and it's long overdue. I'll edit my message below.
My sweet dad apologized for everything that he ever felt that he did wrong a short time before he died.
Of course, I told him that no apologies were in order. He really did want to make sure that he squared everything away before he died.
He was the opposite of my husband’s grandmother who wrote hate letters to everyone that she knew before she died!
Here's what I read:
"People justify to themselves the things they do in all sorts of ways…and the sh***ttier the person is, they less they feel the need to do so."
**Edit: I mean deathbed apologies from narcs; nasty, abusive people.
I’m not there yet , my cataracts are newish , not bad enough the doc said to do them yet.
It was just wrong that I wore glasses and my mother didn’t (after her cataract surgery ) .
Way, I'm pretty good about checking pockets and sleeves before the laundry. It doesn't take too many loads spattered with bits of Kleenex to make a lasting impression,
I looked at my sofa the other day and saw a couple of Kleenexes on the cushions and said to myself, "An old person lives here!" Sometimes they drop out of the sleeves.
I got cataract surgery and can see again! LOL 😆
I wore glasses for years! The other day a friend of mine said, “Why haven’t I noticed how blue your eyes are?” I hadn’t seen her in awhile. I said, “Take a good look at my face. What’s different?”
She stared and stared. I finally had to tell her, “No more glasses!” Then she said, “That’s it! Did you get contacts?” I said, “No, I got cataract surgery.”
I love Edwina for a brat name!!! Very fitting!
Way,
That’s true! Some are sweet. I love certain old names, Amelia is so pretty! Lots of other ones are too.
DH and I both had grandmothers named Mildred . They were both nice.
YOU are most definitely NOT a senior brat!
Hahaha 😝 We may be a little bratty at times but it’s all good natured.
You are our inspiration! And absolutely delightful. 😊
Im getting there. I have fully embraced comfy jeans with elastic waist this past year , and I wear glasses.
