  1. Finally got around to the puzzles. And with this, I’m on the road for a few days. 💞 mr is going skiing with family, and #2 and I are having a spa day.
  2. You could give us a master class in dealing with older people. 💞
  3. I feel. My worry is that having grown up with contemptuous people, it’s my default programming waiting for my executive function to fail.
  4. When #2 was in the hospital last year with pneumonia, he needed a more powerful machine than the one he uses at home. Lungs filled with infection need that. His mask was huge, too. We told him he looked like a tie fighter pilot, which he loved. This guy is all about cosplay.
  5. This makes the most sense. And grandma watching girls do things she probably never could do and for sure wouldn’t have the chance now would make anyone a little cranky.
  6. This. Get you some rest.
  7. If “don’t” were easy, there’d be a lot less shenanigans in this world.
  8. #2 uses a nose pillow instead of a mask. We clean it daily with alcohol-free cpap wipes, give the whole tube and mask a soak in vinegar and a drop of dish soap once a week, and then replace the nose pillow every six months, at least. We use distilled water. We track his time using it. He wears it at least five hours a night before taking it off to sleep on his stomach instead of on his side. A lot of nights he wears it seven or eight hours. He gets auto delivery of replacement nose pillows and tubes.
  9. I feel. I’m not a sunshine and rainbows person, and I’ve tasted my share of bitter pills. But I don’t want to make cranky my gift to others. I’m afraid I won’t have any control over it, though.
  10. For sure. Kids can’t keep their darn meddling to themselves. I wonder if grandma has chronic pain that makes her cranky? Or maybe it’s grandpa on the painkillers that makes him easy-going.
  11. You’re suggesting grandma was afraid for her granddaughters, and in “fight or flight mode” she chose “bitchy”?
  12. Maybe @petitepedal can shed some light based on her experience with older people. Grandparents came to the climbing gym to watch their granddaughters. After the youngest climbed atop the bouldering ladder, grandma said, “Now you’re stuck and you’ll have to spend the rest of the day there.” Grandpa said something like way to go. Then the older girl climbed a wall to the top, and grandpa said, “That was fast!” The girl replied, “I’ve climbed it before, and that one, and that one…” Grandma said to grandpa, “She’s just got it memorized; that’s why you think she’s fast.” So, I’m thinking grandma might be fading into senility, but grandpa has maintained his optimism. But why do people turn mean-spirited or negative as they age? Or, have they always been grumpy? Born grumpy. My dad varies depending on the memory he has stuck on loop in his head. But he’s generally affable, smiling and friendly. Joking. My SiL’s mom, though. She’s a bit much to be around. Anyway, I don’t want to become a curmudgeon in old age. No fun to be around.
  13. Not that long ago, after determining that bisphenol a is an endocrine disrupting chemical, we saw a market correction in containers made without bpa. It’s still used in cash register receipts, but paperless transactions have somewhat limited exposure through that particular heat-transfer paper. I have to think we’ll see a similar market swing to minimize exposure to microplastics somehow. At minimum, the marketing will make that claim. Lots of reusable aluminum bottles and glass containers already slotting into the growing awareness of microplastics. We might see a product that claims to cleanse the body of molecular plastic. I’d have to search; it’s probably already out there.
  14. Smeared on a tortilla and sprinkled with chopped green olives, then rolled up and sliced into pinwheels.
  15. Since you have to stand in line anyway, a moment of pause devoted to appreciation. It sounds like Vitullo could see your potential. That is truly a gift he took action on your behalf.
