Ever just want to tear your hair out, or someone else's? If you cannot restore a sense of balance, you will run away from home? Just want to say some things without the constraints of staying on topic? Well, this thread is for you! If you just need a short break to let it all hang out, be a brat, then come on, you can do it. No holding back! Go for it, you can do it.
By chance does your eye Drs office also sell glasses?
Agree abut the shopping stress. Since I have taken to the electric carts in places like Walmart I actually find it fun again (including playing bumper cars with other shoppers)
Still stuck in buying those glasses limbo.
The doctor's office did not give me an Rx to buy my glasses elsewhere, like Costco.
So I have to get my hands on the written Rx. Even though the rose-colored lens were nice, I must shop within my budget.
Shopping i s no longer fun for me. In my 30's-50's it was a stress reliever. Now, it causes me stress.
overheard:
It is more deductible to give than to receive.
Saw this online:
I went into another room today, and actually remembered why I went in there!
It was the bathroom. So, well.....
Say what now? You had two grandfathers?
Sometimes I wish there were two of my dH, instead of one hour's work, he could do two!
Had to rush from the appointment to take dH to work. The two different pairs of glasses I need for reading and driving will have to wait. Otherwise, two tiny cataracts are forming, should be okay for 1-2 years, depending on how fast they grow.
The doctor was great, and I feel very relieved. They scanned my eye instead of dilating them, because hubs needed me. $39 extra. However, even the eye drops to numb the eye burned. My eyes might have tested better without that. Was given eye drops for dry eyes. I am ok now! Yay, that's done.
However, I am not getting my teeth cleaned unless I can pinch the dentist!
I have issues with double vision since I have gotten older, and last year was the first time a prism was used in my lenses, and it was a great help. No more seeing people walking outside with an identical twin. My Dad had double vision, too. in his later years. This can be inherited. Ah ha, when looking at a photo of my great-great-grandfather as a teen, I could see a slight "lazy eye".
Today, I am going to the ophthalmologist, after 5+ years.......hmmmmmm.....
All the others have written in their notes.
"Never schedule me with Mrs Viking again. If you do I quit"
although she's a long time patient, I didn't recognize the new hygienist, so I try to clue her in that 'dementia is in the house'
She didn't catch my drift
Mom is doing her very best, and is basically opening her mouth as little as possible and yelling aahhhhhh
as I handle the rinse and spit cups and try to bribe her with pancakes
And, then mom can do no more and cusses a bit, not bad but enough to startle the poor gal, who looks to me and says are you surprised by this ?
I said, yes, she's doing so well, and she hasn't even tried to pinch you 😆
We have an art installation going on on the north front of the cathedral just now - a stream of red poppies, flowing from a window at the top of one tower all the way down to form a pool of them on the ground. Very touching (it's all part of the Great War centenary commemorations) and very nicely done.
The trouble is, the small daily crowds who congregate to see it are smack in the middle of our dog walk, so Dog and I have to thread our way through them to get home. There is another way round but it's longer, and anyway humph. We live here.
I wouldn't mind if they were standing and looking at the installation. But they're not. They're standing and staring at their stupid iPhones, eighteen inches in front of their stupid noses, with the result that they're completely oblivious to man or beast around them, then they step forward back right left trying to frame their shot, like it's some kind of masterpiece - and not just one more of the 17,000 images that they will NEVER look at again - and we're both fed to the back teeth of getting trodden on.
I'm starting to fantasise about snatching a few and stamping on them.
That's row to rhyme with cow, not as in paddle a boat.
You don't have row to mean a terrible loud noise, either?
Luckylu, your suggestions about jello and applesauce snacks, keeping them on hand now has really helped. Having low blood sugar, not eating, and required to cook for hubs at his convenience was a problem for me. Two of us suffering from low blood sugar is bad.
There has not yet been a good time to shop in this month, but I guess it could be today, when hubs gets home from church, and he forgoes his 5 hour nap.
Self discipline, increasing efforts of survival helps.
There's nothing good at our house tonight,not even any expired popcorn.
Will it have to be popcorn, the only snack left in house?
Just do not want to go out.

According to the UNNAMED reporter-Mike Smoult.....
I guess the unamed DOES have a name!
Wow, the ashes have a chosen party-not the chosen party has the ashes?
Well, where in Heavens Sake, ARE the ashes?
What publication was this?
They should get the Golden Gufus award! 🏆
So who owns the rights to proper english if not the English? LOL
🌽🌽🌽🌽 hum. Probably not.
As per the dictionary; a serious dispute.
"Serious dispute arises over loved ones ashes."
Let's speak English for this century, shall we?
Still trying to figure out that newspaper report! "Rows rise?"
What, stalks of corn? Rows of tulips?
I thought you were going to burst forth with a spring poem or something.
Heh heh heh.
Maybe that report came from the ashes themselves, through a medium.????
(ruined by autocorrects' spelling feature on flippin' phone).
I'm assuming.
It is significant to note when our best people on here can come alongside a new poster with a serious answer to help them, everything seems right somehow.
Since I was not feeling very serious, I did not answer, but maybe some of the other "brats" might want to view this:
". My penguin is $1080. Am l aligible for Madicaid?"".
According to the unnamed reporter, Mike Smoult, a member of the wills, trusts and probate team at Gorvins Solicitors, says he has seen a 68 per cent increase in people reporting underhand tactics in order to avoid letting the executor take control of the deceased's remains.
The reporter goes on to quote Mr Smoult verbatim as having said: "... A number of clients have reported that ashes are not always in the possession of their chosen party..."
And there I paused. From whom are these reports coming, exactly? And via what medium?
Looking at the Farmer's Almanac, they report on the best days of the year to do some things, like planting, harvesting, cutting hair to encourage growth, cutting hair to discourage growth, and, April 13th will be the best day to quit smoking, for those who need to.
IS IT OVER YET?
