Re: w/c 18th

Happy Tuesday friends,just back from the airport to drop LB off,never again this early!!Mick I know you used to take the outlaws that early to the airport, now I fully understand what a pain it is,now I hafts switch into "work mode" bleh, I'm glad Julie's dad has you two to help him,I'm sure losing a spouse is as hard as losing a child,my mom text me yesterday that my dad and sister have been staying with my brother for a few nights,my sister has downs syndrome and I don't think they told her about Jon's passing but I guess she doesn't want to go back to the house,maybe she feels creepy there now,or maybe she seen dad break down and it freaks her out poor thing Det,you practice some self care cuz being sick has been a trigger in the past for both of us,dunno why,just has been,feel better tell me why I'm craving nachos at 5:23 am??? I'm one strange cookie,much love to all and I hope we all have a decent AF day and I hope I can stat awake through work,BTW where's TT?

Re: w/c 18th

Just a quick check in before heading out to the meeting.

Mick...thanks for clarifying w/c got the week but couldn't figure out the c. LOL Some co-workers figure we should all be wearing hats. I'll just be glad if it doesn't rain.

Snoop...hope your Tuesday was a good one.

Pauly...hope you were able to stay awake today Pauly. You were probably craving nacho's because your body thought it was noon already.

Gotta grab a quick bite and be off. Have a restful evening all....:smile:PPQP

Probably PQ hit 117 today, they're making a big deal about it on the news but we've been here before

Re: w/c 18th

Good evening Abbers,

It was only 86 here today Pauly - much better than your temps!
I seriously hope you did not eat nachos at 5:23 am, that would kill me, ugh.

Mick, what do you do with all of those tomatoes? Set up a roadside stand maybe? I hate the mess & sweat involved in canning them. YB likes to do that on an outside burner & that's fine with me.
I hope the anniversary of your BIL's passing was not too rough.
So you still don't really know what's going on with Julie's Dad? They can be tough to diagnose.

Det, I hope you are feeling better today! Just keep taking good care of yourself, please.

Hello to SnoopStar, TT, Pie, Sam, SF & anyone else checking in tonight.
Have a nice night everyone.

Re: w/c 18th

Ahoy ho ABeroooskies!

feeling much better after a great group therapy session this eve, now back home, had some healthy chow and taking healthy stuff to try
to kick this cold. Didn't sleep well last night as I was up hacking but hopefully a better sleep awaits.

PPQ, you are so right.... I've been to hell and back and in comparison a cold is a mere pittance.

Pauly, yepper I know being sick has been a trigger but my guard is up and eyes wide open. that AL sucker ain't gonna get me.

Lav, 102F today and I'm working in a warehouse with no AC or even a fan! bastards! I'm officially an abused employee and the boss
just wants to see numbers and sales. His care for individuals has waned badly and it's certainly time to move on.

Mick, loving the funnies. Say.... you have tomatoes and sunshine..... sun-dried tomatoes?

I like eating weird things for breakfast like a stir-fry but I'm afraid nachos are just not on my menu. Pauly what did you end up having for breakfast?
(just don't say nachos)

arritey then... packing lunch and all that jazz and then scifi and an early kip is Mick would say

be well loves

Re: w/c 18th

Happy Wednesday friends,Sam Happy Anniversary you two are a year ahead of us and luckily we still talk too haha,Mick that makes me sad Julie's dad reads that everyday last night my mom called and told me my dad had to rush my sister to the hospital, she was hyperventilating and couldn't catch her breath,she's on oxygen everyday cuz of some heart problems and I'm wondering if cuz they haven't been home they didnt take it to my brothers with them or I'm thinking she had a panic attack but with her down's she can't really explain what's going on,mi sister isn't like the kids you see on TV as I said before she's mentally maybe 6 or 7 and doesn't speak very well,you hafta really listen to her,they kept her in the hospital overnight just to keep an eye on her,doesn't sound too serious but shit,leave us alone!! I wish my dad had a cellphone but he's too damn old school for that so I get snippets from my mom and its hard to talk to her when she's been drinking cuz she's allover the place,I told her yesterday I don't want her to drink so much cuz I dont want her to hurt herself, she hung up on me,I don't blame her who the hell am I to say anything to her,I should have just shut up,I wasn't mean about it at all but still,where's TT? Check in love Det,last time I was sick I made chicken soup with the bones in it,seemed to help although I thought I got all the bones out we all bit an occasional one haha,no nachos,I had 1 egg 2 egg whites a thin ham and a lite toast,I'm trying to do a more protein, less sugar and carby thing,my blood sugar stays steadier that way,much love to all and I hope today is a nice AF day for us all

Re: w/c 18th

MAE ALL...

Lav...glad your storm never materialized. The community gardeners are very generous with their extra plants. I now have 5 tomato plants in my little garden plot, I had planned on one as I'm not a canner.

Det...glad to hear the group session was a good one. Were you able to get a better sleep last night?

Mick...we've had some pretty hot days (nothing compared to you thought) here with pop up thunderstorms in the evening. Had quite the wind storm last night but the brunt of the storm was north of us. My not best of days are yet to come. So glad to hear the thought of AL was not an issue. We do learn different coping strategies as time goes on. Sad to hear about Julies Dad and I'm sure you and Julie are doing everything you can to help. Hoping for peaceful days to come your way soon.

Sam...Happy Anniversary.

Pauly...sorry to hear about your sister and glad it wasn't worse. As far as your Mom is concerned, I think there comes a time when you just have to be honest. You aren't saying things to hurt her, you really care. It is always tricky to talk to people about their drinking. I wish you peaceful days soon too.

Going to be a long day. Early morning meeting and staying through to the garden party tonight. Mick, will report back tonight, or in the morning depending on how tired I am. Will try for a couple of pics too. Have a Wonderful AF Wednesday all.....:smile:PPQP

Re: w/c 18th

Hi folks. Sorry I am not posting but I don't want to spread my negativity. I can't just jolly myself out of this and I know others have been through much worse. Or are going through it. It's just really hard at the moment for me and also my partner is not so well. I am not drinking but I have been thinking about alcohol a bit. I think the fear of the physical damage I would do to myself is stopping me. Hugs to you all.

Re: w/c 18th

TT:hug:I'm so sorry you're feeling down if you need a break from posting for yourself then do it but if you hesitate to post cuz of bringing anybody down thats not how we feel,we're here as I say through the good,bad and ugly,how would it be if I quit posting cuz I am pretty sure people are sick of hearing about my family? I'd lose out on a lot of free therapy haha,plus the mind clearing I get from posting, its just not the same writing in my paper journal, we do love you:hug:

Re: w/c 18th

Happy anniversary Sam!

Yo Pauly! Great garden Mick.

Big waves to all.

Re: w/c 18th

Good evening Abbers,

Great pics as usual Mick. I especially loved the wasp porn, ha ha!!!
Your garden looks fabulous. I hope Julie's Dad is OK, it's hard to watch someone grieve or not grieve when they should. He's probably having a hard time processing it all & doing the best he can :hug:
YB is fine. I've changed the dressing on his hand a few times, incision looks good & the feeling has returned to his hand & fingers so I guess it worked. Next month he gets the other one done. The surgeon is a very young woman, born & educated in the Ukraine & did her residency here. She has the most modern technique I've seen.

Det, glad you are on the mend. Sorry about the harsh work conditions, that's rough. Take a gallon or two of water with you everyday, stay safe.

TT, I am sorry you are feeling low. Please don't feel that you are burdening us, not true. We all share the good times & the bad. That's why we are still here & still friends after all these years. Take care of hourself, you don't want to drink, it won't help anything.

PQ, it's nice to be sble to share plants with others. We give quite a few to our kids to take home for their gardens too.
I don't mind the rain so much since it saves on watering. It's the wind damage that pisses me off, ha ha.

Hello to Pauly, G & everyone!
Happy anniversary Sam!

Have a nice night kids!
