Kzoo Posted May 5, 2021 Share #4 Posted May 5, 2021 You sound cranky. You need to go yell at some kids on your lawn. It always helps me. I just make believe that there are kids out there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always helps me. I just make believe that there are kids out there. I just cleaned out my wife’s cabinet in the bathroom. I must have thrown out 100 contact lenses unopened. Why would she have so many? Fifty tooth brushes unopened, seven packs of razor blades for women’s razors, all different brands. A dozen packages of sleep aids all different brands almost full packages they must not have worked. I found a bottle of her happy pills. I must have snuck them back there when my sons were throwing out all her drugs. I took one, I’ll see if it helps my mood. It did wonders for her. She was in a terrible situation with not much hope of it improving yet she stayed positive and cheerful almost to the end. I’m cleaning out the linen closet now. I think I am going to buy all new sheets. The ones in there look drab and worn out. It’s only 45° so I have a fire in the furnace, a good place to get rid of old stuff. I might get rid of some of my old clothes too. Summer is coming, who needs clothes? 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petitepedal ★ Posted May 5, 2021 Share #6 Posted May 5, 2021 Donate that unopened stuff... You can have a non healthy treat..but back to business tomorrow. And no self medicating or I will send RG out there to paddle your azz ( you would enjoy it too much if any of us forum ladies showed up to do that) Tomorrow make a trip to your local garden store and plant a tree for Esther. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a lot of leeway when working with dying people. So far I haven’t noticed any difference from the happy pill. I can’t get refills so it would be a short term thing anyway.

Airehead Posted May 5, 2021 Share #8 Posted May 5, 2021 Do not be afraid to talk to your doctor about a short term dose of happy pills that play well with your heart. Your situation is one that likely warrants a little assistance. It will help you sleep more restful, regain some energy, and generally help you get through some painful days. I also vote for donating unopened supplies to a shelter. It is difficult for homeless women to get things like razors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom left my dads closet untouched for years, maybe a decade even before she could get herself to let it go. Some of his things never left the house. Hang in there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was all set to grill a black angus burger that was raised behind my house when I saw a package of beef, bean, and cheese burritos in the freezer. Those would be easier so I nuked three of them. They were awful. I threw two of them in the trash. Ny son must have bought them when he stayed with me after Esther passed. No wonder he didn’t eat them.🤮 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottleshead ★ Posted May 5, 2021 Share #13 Posted May 5, 2021 This thread's title reminds me of the Pacific Northwest, John. You can not only do it but you can thrive! But you may want to drink more caffeine. So sorry about your void. Nothing can take care of that but maybe some help from Father Time. You're in our thoughts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the only frozen burrito I’ll eat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan, the guy that sold me the bike keeps telling me they will ship it tomorrow. He sent me this on Monday: Hey John, We originally were set to ship you out last week but we changed your size from L to XL so that added just a couple extra days to swap those components over to the larger frame. Austin and Alex (our mechanics) should be able to get you built and shipped out by end of day tomorrow We are stoked for you brother!

My blood pressure is so low I could probably switch to Bustass coffee, the coffee with nine times the caffeine of regular office blends. My diastolic number is the one that is dangerously low. I don’t know how to improve that. Maybe ride a bike? My blood pressure this morning was 112/51 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how to improve that. Maybe ride a bike? My blood pressure this morning was 112/51 But I'm sure it doesn't live there. My advice is to raise your blood pressure by jumping in that relationship between @Kzoo and @jsharr and raise some hell like @Razors Edge. Tell jsharr that pasty Jerry Jones is God and tell Kzoo you know a thing or two about lawns. Then just at the right moment, make sure you tell them they're liberal commies who don't know anything about football. That ought to get your measurements back up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Further Posted May 6, 2021 Share #22 Posted May 6, 2021 Get away from the house for a while. Go visit the kid down south. Take the old bike out. Drive down and have a beer with me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
