When other's are just ticking you off, when you just cannot keep it in any longer, and you have already tried and tried; or you find something so funny but posting it topically would interrupt a conversation; OR you feel like testing your own compassionate quotient by wording it in a way so as NOT to offend;
Instead of logging out, post it here......
Here is an example: Some posts are getting soooo long that no one reads them. Ever. But one day, you find yourself bored out of your mind, and you read, and read, and read. Only to discover that person, a part of the community here, may need help that you cannot give. You want to help, but you are prevented. So, say it all here. Air concerns, but be extremely kind-because everyone you meet is fighting an uphill battle.
Understand?
If it is too long, no one will read it.
It is funny. Heheh. I think it is. Someone's going to read these threads and think we are all on good meds, hahah.
I am climbing the walls. They have my head on this padded board thing. Not too uncomfortable. They drained the hematoma. Got another bald spot for that procedure. If the swelling doesn't build up overnight I get to escape tomorrow. The doctor said was okay to use my IPad. The cable here is terrible.
I imagine you must be climbing the walls - is there any view out your window ?
Did you get any blueberry pie tonight ? After Barb mentioned Helens, I looked it up online - award winning blueberry pie, my oh my
Ali,
Cut that out! If you post something, someone responds, then you erase it, there is a weird comment just sitting there making no sense. I think that I have been doing that too? I usually edit only the spelling, but I am sure I must have messed up somewhere. It's okay, kinda funny isn't it?
Guess it is too cold to be wheeled outside in a wheelchair where you are.
Some hospitals have a lobby or an atrium with sunlight. Maybe your hubs can take you on a tour.
Really hoping your headache gets better fast. Is the head of your bed elevated? Get as comfortable as possible, think good thoughts.
Goodnight!
Maybe other posters are like me and have no idea how to find anything, anytime. I stumbled into the dys thread and have found three or four others by accident.
I am whiny tonight. Too much stuff has happened in the last 18 mos. Too many deaths, too much garbage from bad bro and family, etc. and now getting hit on the head by a nutty woman and being in the hospital for week. And this whole sleep thing. I think it's because I haven't been outside. I have to have fresh air to function correctly. Maybe I'll try breathing. If it was daytime, I'd go look at babies in the nursery.
Whatever do you mean, I have dinner every night.
Gershun,
The point I was trying to make was there is humor even if it is depends.
Becky,
Anyone who is offended by humor can go to the person directly and ask them to stop.
They don't have to leave or talk to others using back channels.
It seems talking about poop is easier than trying to dredge up a good memory. Sad, kind of..................:(
Here is a thread that only has 6 answers:
Caregiver humor.

Your know you're a caregiver for someone who is elderly or disabled when all the ads that pop up on your facebook or social media pages reflect your search for DEPENDS.
But, maybe ...............people need to talk about it? I don't know.
I'm not sure how the sleep is. Seems I can't get enough of it these days. I am in my bed and asleep for enough hours so that I shouldn't feel bone-tired, and yet... I have been feeling like that most days, just painfully tired. I'm hoping the worst of it will pass soon, and if I get help from the thyroid meds, that would be really great.
How's the hospital? You're still there or no? I would die. They would have to give me sedation meds, I can't stand being stuck in a hospital. I can barely stand to be "stuck" at home with myself if I'm not feeling well.
The new mattress is still a very interesting purchase and adjustment -- it's so FIRM. But I don't get backache overnight so I'm thinking I will get used to it in time.
I hope you're mostly recovered from the attack. Thanks for asking about me. :-)
...
And I erased the rest of my post, because it was about other people. :-)
Other people are behaving worse than me.
Although I don't understand the science fully, when people in general start behaving even differently, not themselves, or badly, I go try looking up sun, moon, and earth events for an explanation. In the past 3 days, people were weird! Both on the forum (sorry), and out there, (driving). Has anyone noticed?
I found this CME- Coronal Mass Ejection on the Sun affecting earth:
"LATEST SOLAR NEWS:
(Nov 14 1237UTC) The large CME that erupted with the destabilizing filament 3 days go swept past earth this morning. While it has only produced minor activity in earth’s magnetic field, a coronal hole stream impact is expected today and this double-event could drive stronger storms than either would have produced individually." end quote.
So there you have it! Just wanting to explore. I am not a conspiracy theorist, not a prepper, and not a Coast-to-Coast fan, (although I have listened). However, I believe there is a correlation between human behaviors and say, for example, the full moon.
Maybe even the New Moon......that takes care of human behaviors all month, thanks!
Maybe animal behaviors too!
Things are bad in the world, in Vegas, and in our own circle of friends.
So bad, we need to guard our hearts and minds.
Caregivers are doing just that by distracting others with food and garden stories.
That is a good thing, imo.
Thanks for Garden Artist, and MsMadge! Examples of rising above the despair.
