~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Good luck at the dentist today Cowboy! You will feel so much better and be able to enjoy your food! Dill very cool about the drones and the fawn! Ginger, so glad you positively influenced another sister! Slo, your post sounds like you are happy and doing pretty good. Thats good to hear. Hi to Jude! Our bug man came Monday and no more ants have been spotted. I am loving it! Going out with my former coworker today for lunch. Looking forward to catching up. My dad is still hospitalized and stepmother said he is not ready for hospice. The woman is completely delusional. It’s just a matter of time. I am praying that he passes soon in a peaceful way. 24 more please and thank you.

Rava, great news about the ant problem! Geez, your stepmom is being very foolish and selfish. I'll say a prayer for your dad this morning.

Cowboy, that's radical! I probably would have made the same decision if I were in your place, but it's going to be a challenging few days until Tuesday! I'll say a little prayer for you as well!

Safe travels, Ginger.

Jude, we love our game cam. We actually have two now because the first one malfunctioned and we bought a second to replace it. Then Mr. D tinkered with it and got it working again, so we have two.

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

It's good to be home! I'm so exhausted this morning. Cyrus was happy I was home so he spent a lot of time bugging be last night. I have workout this morning too. Ugh

ABC, half way there? Sorry you have to wait. I hope the fitting goes ok next week.

Rava, fingers crossed that's the last of those ants! Prayers sent for your Dad. His wife is being selfish. By any chance is she a bit narcissistic?

Dill and Jude, I'd love to see footage from those game cams. Hey, Slo!

I'll take another day of freedom!

I just got home from D1’s, and enjoyed time with her and the three young grandchildren -and, bonus: I got all that time with D4/Young Daughter too!!

D1 and her HB shared news too: D1 is pregnant! And true to form, she is still nursing the third one. She has been continuously either pregnant or breastfeeding or both since 2019!

D2’s surrogate is also pregnant too!! So, possibly two new grandchildren on the way! But, very early days for both: they are both only about 5 weeks along.

Poor Cowboy! You will have to eat soft foods too I suppose. It makes sense to do it the way you did it.

I liked learning about modern day farming.

Of course the step monster didn’t set up Hospice, Rava. I hope he goes soon, and quickly & peacefully too.

Good morning all!

Wow cowboy, that's a lot of teeth to be pulled! Hopefully you're not in too much pain today.

Slo, congrats on your daughters pregnancy. How many grandchildren do you have?

Well, I've been in contact with admin and they are working on why I keep losing half my posts so we shall see what happens.

I'm in for another 24 hours of freedom...

Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

[abcowboy]

Let's hope they come up with a solution for you Jude. I didn't have much pain at all, just a bit of soreness and that's mostly gone this morning as well.

I don't think you ever slow down Ginger, I'll bet you're even planning activities while you sleep lol.

Glad they got rid of the ants Rava, and I hope your dad passes just the way he wants even if you can't be with him.

That's fantastic news about more g-kids Slo, you'll be seeing even more of your daughters in the future. And yes, pretty much a diet of soup or mashed potatoes for me, but the consolation is lots of ice cream as well lol.

How's the reunion plans coming dill, July is not that far away.

[Ginger999]

ABC, you know me too well! I'm glad you're not too uncomfortable with the extractions! I hope the dentures fit like a glove.

Slo, congratulations on the new additions to your family.

Jude, I hope admin finds the cause of your truncated posts and is able to fix it!!

I was able to rent the beach house for 2 weeks in August during the kite festival. It's six bedrooms so all family is invited to come and go as they like. It's kind of a family reunion, Dill, but nothing organized like yours!

Rava, i hope those ants are in the rear view mirror!

I'll happily take another day of freedom

[Slo]

Renting the beach house for two weeks during the kite festival sounds so fun for you & your family, Ginger!

I have potentially two more grandchildren coming on top of the six that are already here, but I have made such a mess of my life and my body that I’m not of much use or service to them, unfortunately. I hope I can heal. My left foot has been giving me a lot of pain so that I can hardly walk. And this despite getting laser treatments and chiropractic manipulation to the calcanius / heel bone that is apparently misaligned. I hope it’s not making things worse…
…and I wish the new orthotics would get here! I’m pinning my hopes on those. I hate being lame. It’s scary not being able to do much of anything.

I had D4 with me yesterday, and my sister here too yesterday evening as well, and both overnight! I loved it. My house felt like a home with people staying! Now Young Daughter has left to go on a road trip to visit her sister.

I love seeing deer and the little fawns too.

My alcoholic little brother didn’t attend his twin sons’ high school graduation (unless he lurked at the fence), and wasn’t there at the end to congratulate them and get a picture taken with them.
Well, he hates his in-laws, so he won’t get near them; and they were there. Plus his mother was there; our Mommy Dearest who narcissistically abused and rejected him (covertly, as they do, so no one knows).
So he is paranoid now, and massively drinks to drown the pain (and the pain of his beloved wife’s death).
My sister saw him that day, and noted that he is turning yellow. I thought he might make it into his early 60s at the rate he is going, but maybe he won’t make it through his early 50s. He’s 50 now.

So let’s keep keeping on!

Quick check in here today. I was working the info desk at the hospital all morning and I'm feeling kind of tired. Things are still not up and running so my job is to turn people away. It's wearing. At least we are now able to offer simple x-rays and lab work but only to patients whose doctors are in network. Very limited. Phone system is up and running....sort of. The recovery from this attack is painfully slow. They are losing millions of dollars and I don't know if they are going to recover from this or not.

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

Late check in today. Ginger, so glad you got the beach house for the kite festival. That should be a great time. Slo, congrats on 2 more grands coming. Boy your daughter still breastfeeding the 3rd and pregnant again. WOW she is gonna be busy. Cowboy your tooth saga continues. Hopefully it will all be over soon. My dad has been placed on a full code status now to include chest compressions if needed and step mother has requested no visitors. That woman will not be in my life at all after all this is over. It’s unbelievable how crazy she is. My only hope is that the hospital with shut this nonsense down. 24 more please and thank you.
