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.
Cwillie, was it you who had recently mentioned that there were better brands than Depends?
Brats...NAME THE CONTENTS OF THE RATHER LARGE BOX ON MsMadge's porch!
If this becomes a real saga, google the addressee. Oh, I know, send them a card in the mail, or drop it off in their mailbox. Tell them to come and get the package, after you have opened it by mistake. This is going to be fun. Let us know what you decide.
There may be others ideas. Since there are so many porch thieves, contact the next one that makes bail, their names and surveillance videos are in the news. Take notes. ha ha. Another reason why you just cannot go delivering any packages these days. Stay off of people's porches. imo.
Whatever you do, MsMadge, do not rest one moment until this package either blows up, gets picked up by FedEx, or the porch police come to your door to question you.
What's in it?
Huh? Huh?. Tell us please.....
No offense to NJ residents, some of the best posters come from there.
Did you open it MsMadge? Do you still have the package? Be sure to write, opened by mistake.
It's always comforting to hear the voices on the walkie talkies saying,
Anyone have eyes on "so and so?"
It's from New Jersey 😳
Possession is 9/10 ths of the law, still?
What if there were Sees Candies in there?
O dear, what is it that you might have delivered? Maybe, they want to thank you. Maybe it was the F.B.I. Was it ticking?
Things are not so simple anymore, are they?
OK, next time, call the hazmat team, they will explode the package for you. Lol.
It is not your job to be delivering packages. If you wanted to be extra kind, calling them would help.
However, my intention is to give the recommend and supposedly healthy answer for those who care too much and need to detach, save their energies and choose who to help. Many are left with resentment when caring so much collapses our boundaries.
Ms. Madge, I would have delivered the package myself.
.You are too kind, never change. imo.
.
i wonder what she wants ? She's very persistent
What if I was unable to lift it put it in my car and take it to the intended recipient ?
There was no evidence of green anywhere, now I am thinking hubs ate it. But we will never know, I was too sick to supervise him.
He cannot supervise me, because he is a heel. Lol.
Sheesh, the page has turned. Reference previous page.
As for the flu. My Hubs had it over Christmas and when they talk about "man flu" I think they had him in mind. He spent most of Christmas day regaling everyone in my family with tales of his phlegm and his runny nose, oh and let's not forget how hot his forehead was. He even kept his coat on the whole evening cause he was cold. LOL I give him sympathy but after seven days of hearing about it even I need a break. :O
Now when I'm sick I get "oh, you're not sick!" I'd have to have my arm hanging by a thread before he'd believe I was sick and he is away a lot too so no supervision for me. My kitties take good care of me though.
First, because he is away most of the time for his job.
Second, he actually encourages my bad behavior! He was in the room when I was on the phone with contractor gal cheering on my bad behavior.........
One of his coworkers asked me recently how I put up with him. I replied “retirement will be hard”.
I like to think I don’t need supervision. I don’t know what will happen should the day come that I DO need supervising!
Often I am wondering while supervising hubs, who is going to supervise me?
Maybe we both should be supervised from now on.....
LoL! The avocado peel!
So glad to hear you have recovered!
We have had a bad flu outbreak here. Daughter showed up a couple days before Christmas sick. She was swabbed for flu the minute she started feeling bad. Swabbed negative. But apparently it was too soon. She went back, swabbed positive, but at that point no pharmacy had Tamiflu.
Anyway, as I think Countrymouse described we had Christmas, exchanged gifts and viruses.
Four year old grandson was next, then me, then daughter in law, then hubby. Son was the only one that did not get the Flu. He would enter rooms with various clothing covering his face and spent a lot of time outdoors!
On to the behaving badly part. The day I went to Urgent Care for my swab I think I described how I felt in very unladylike terms to the Dr that asked how I was feeling when he walked into exam room.
I think the next day the Home Repair Contractors coordinator gal called to go over some things. The conversation turned to how everything had been going wrong. I didn’t use any swear words but I do remember using the phrase “skewed” up a few times. I was probably a little too brutally honest. But, things have been moving very fast since our conversation.
Anyway, I was pretty out of it a couple of days and should not have been left unsupervised!
The paper plate had an avocado peel on it. Never slept with an avocado peel before.
"NEW SURVEY REVEALS THAT GOLF IS THE MOST BORING SPORT TO WATCH."
A YouGov poll found that 70 per cent of people in the UK who had watched the sport said it was "boring", including 52 per cent who described it as "very boring."
Somebody got paid to figure this out.
SOMEBODY PAID TO CONDUCT RESEARCH INTO THE BLEEDIN' OBVIOUS. That would be my headline.
Mind you. This reminds me of when Barry Manilow [spoiler alert for any innocent souls who would rather not know] came out. The PM programme included his press release in its top-of-the-hour headlines. Following on, they cut to an outside broadcast from Rome, where a wondering spokesman said in charmingly accented English that yes, His Holiness was a very committed Catholic. Next up: to Yellowstone Park, where a ranger, suppressing chortles, was able to confirm that to the best of their knowledge bears went to the bathroom in the woods.
I am quite tired of the pantomime "oohs" of outrage on the BBC. Another day, another tweet, another collective gasp of horror. How can anyone still be shocked?
Also, the language isn't new, just the saying it in public - have we already forgotten all the Wikileaks? My personal favourite featured two presidents on the phone. Let's call them President S and President O. They were discussing the sheer bloody awfulness of Prime Minister N, and President O said "it's all right for you, I have to talk to him all the time!"
Absolutely, Pam has to have some of that wine and if she wants it in a hot tub by all means
Of course, it may not be medically safe and sane, but does it matter?
Can your brother chaperone in case you need a boost?
I would like a nice glass of champagne and some pretty scenery when I make my final exit
