I haven't been online much lately because my dad has been in hospital for the last six weeks. He was suffering from kidney failure, but he's luckily turned a corner. He might be discharged this week.

I also have a new ragdoll kitten. His name is Moon and he's three months old. Look at the little munchkin.

these kitty kittys, nom nom on the toe beans

How's your Dad doin since I was here last, has he been discharged? I hope so and I really hope he's doing better, you sound like a worried little daddys girl

Wow incredibly generous prizes. U seem/sound like sucha down to earth person and so friendly and chatty if I may say.

Well things are well on my end. Except mom fell a week ago and broke her hip. She's hospitalized. It's devastating as she was the one who was taking care of my father who is also total care and needs help as he had fell about two years ago and broke his hip too. I pray that mom makes a full recovery soon and can take care of my dad. In the meantime, my siblings and I are looking after dad currently while mom is a the hospital recuperating from her fall.

Thanks again for the contest and hope u have an amazing day!

Sami you're a doll, thank you for the compliments I do try to be the kinda person that never met a stranger, gets me in trouble sometimes though

How's your Mom and Dad? It's so wonderful that you have siblings and family that are so supportive. I thank God I have a huge supportive family as well, and I always feel bad for people that don't, esp only children, or people that have less than 5 siblings, lol My fam is Irish Catholic, I have 5 sisters and Mom used to say Dad flung too much "Elvis" on the 'rythym method'

Sami I know about your mom and was wondering if she had been discharged from hospital-that has to be rough especially since your Dad's fall-keep up the fantastic work of helping them both,I know it cannot be easy for anyone of you.
love those kitty pics Dalia-thanks for sharing!!
I'm on my way to the drs soon for my legs-they wanted to implant the gels but 350.00 a leg is too much for me -and that is at a discount.So doesn't look like that is a good option so am waiting to see what he says today.

On the other hand our weather has finally cooled off a bit-last week the temp with humidy reached and felt like 107F I couldn't do much with that. and wish healing Mom is waiting to do a road trip in the fall which will be exciting for us!!
I'm always in charge of snacks so I don't mind this part and it will be nice if the leaves begin to change as the trees are in abundance here and it's something to look forward to!

Oh goodness Jo! Are there no programs or anything where you are that can help? I know a lot of people don't like to do this but, try setting up a GoFundMe, and see if you can get the money you need for the implants! Your health and legs are worht too much, if you don't want to set it up ask a friend and I'll help you share it if you want!

Also I'm so sorry for the loss of your daughter, nothing worse, ever, at all, than a parent to outlive a child, I've done it twice, still have my oldest left, so I can empathize 100% percent sweetheart. She sounds like she was a beautiful soul and I'm glad you had her for the time you did.

Caregiving is a lot of work. I was my grandfathers only caregiver before he died on hospice. I am glad you have sibling support. I will keep you all in my prayers.

My grandma Turns 83 tomorrow! My Mom was 63 on July 3rd. My oldest just turned 22. The time flies!
Grandpa had his bday yesterday but it was his first since he passed. I was only 18 when I got married and had my son but I am glad he got to know my grandparents thoughtout his life. I was truly blessed as they raised me like a daughter my whole life. My grammy in the nursing home dementia. I wish she could have stayed living with me but it got too dangerous for her. She triple up on meds and get violent. She likes where she is now finally and is close to me so I am happy. No one pays attention to my grandparents but me. It a shame but at least they had or have me. More than some have.

You're a wonderful Granddaughter! I loved my Grands too, I miss them so much. And YES, I worked in a nursing home when I was younger and you're right, a lot of them old folks don't have anyone, it's so sad. I'm glad you still see her, even if she doesn't remember you every time you go.

My cousin is currently 13, so he's going through his grumpy phase and thinks he's already very grown.
I should probably hold off on calling him gremlin for a little while, he gets angry so easy nowadays. Kids.

HallowQueen (169681585) wrote:Yesssssssssssssss the junk food lol! I am looking forward to fried green tomatos! Honestly shopping and junk food is all i would require haha. Sounds fun!
My classes start the 29th so unless I have too much homework I should be able to do something.

I am Italian and have adhd so coffee can put me to sleep actually. I sip coffee all day and night! My coffee maker broke a few wks ago and my mom and boyfriend were like omg omg she needs her coffee haha.
True tho after a day with no coffee and it into the next day I would be hard to talk to but I got a replacement pretty quickly lol.

I am glad you are getting some rest and on the mend but i'm sorry your sleep schedule is disrupted.

AHHHH I've not eaten much for a few days, now I want fried green tomatoes and I don't have any grrrr, lol. You're Italian?? Is it racist for me to ask if you can make sauce? lol Omg I would love to know how to make authentic italian red sauce. I could google it, but I would so much rather have the recipe and stuff from someone who is genuinely Italian! (hint hint lol)

LOL @ your comment - "I love a fresh baby lol" You know if someone made a cologne for guys that smelled like baby-head it would be a best seller,

Oh I was also a pharm tech in a very busy hopsital, but I burned out after 3 years, it was SO stressful

Pepsi, sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. Hope your feeling 100% again soon

Hallowqueen, congrats on heading back to school! My oldest is transferring with his AA to another school to get his BS. We're moving him in less than two weeks. My youngest is starting his senior year of high school so the application process is in full swing.

JustJo, family meals are the best. We used to get together with my parents every Sunday, but as the kids have gotten older and everyone has gotten busier, it's now about once a month. Though my brother and SIL moved closer so now they join us.

Dalia, you kitty is so precious! Love cats Used to have two. Hubby and I are allergic but got allergy shorts during that time. My have to go back to shots and get another kitty when we are empty nesting.

Thank you Sealine! I have ALL your NPCs btw lol Glad you made it here, now get to postin lady LOL and congrats on the younguns, you must be so proud!!

My long lost brother that we found when I was in my early 30's wanted us all to get together one last time since we're all getting old 65 the youngest to 80 the oldest .I wasn't going to go because I have such a hard time getting around because my hips are bone on bone and need replacing and I've been to scared to have it done. I'm so stiff I'm afraid to move because I'm afraid of falling .I'm seriously thinking about it though because I don't have much of a life the way I'm going now .I need to lose about 15 pounds first though so I'm trying. Anyhow now that I've bored you to death and don't know why I blurted this all out I'll just slink away

HA Lindy!!! Nothing is "off topic" here! That IS the topic - OFF topic lol. I may toss out sumthin to get yall thankin' but there's no rule saying ya can't just say w/e, that's what makes this fun! I'm glad you went to your reunion, you'll always be happy you went too. We start gettin older, people start droppin like flies, so we need to see our fams as much as we can in these years.
