No, flosey, but they are calling for a huge storm here - anywhere from 8 to 15 inches and bitter cold. That is a bit unusual for us the last few winters, which have been mild.

How are things with you Sprite---did you have another night of bad dreams
3:01 am
sprite

I have discovered I love making them. finding the right images and having fun making little 'jokes' and then compiling them.
3:01 am

seems I am up for a new series, yes pug. My hip is bothering me, so maybe it is the pain that is triggering the dreams this time.
3:01 am
puglet

I like your puzzles too Sprite
3:01 am
sprite

thanks pug :)
3:02 am
puglet

did you find your new shoes
3:02 am

I think it was Atalante who once had this fun cat icon that started with: "Let me out, let me OUTTTT!!!" and ended with "I am dying out here, let me INNNNN!"
3:02 am
Lizlin

:( about your hip and dreams.
3:03 am
sprite

yeah well, pack and parcel with ptsd. Will survive.
3:04 am
Lizlin

Yes, you will and things will get better and we are all here for you :)
3:04 am
puglet

did your shopping cause the hip pain
3:04 am
sprite

pug: yes!!! It was amazing. We went to the store the podologist adviced. Didn't see even one nice shoe. Only with bling or fur etc. Then a rather old man came to help us, he picked out a pair after looking at my feet and the new soles, and they fit perfectly. Most comfy ones I have ever owned.
3:05 am

3:12 am

3:12 am
grannyrose

3:13 am
grannyrose

yes, miz pugs, email me too if you can't talk here...please dearest.
3:13 am
sprite

and at night the sadness is so much harder to bear, isn't it. Takes on whole new proportions. *hugs* my dear friend. If you want, write me about it. Write it down and get it out of the system.
3:14 am
puglet

I dont mind talking here -- but no one needs more sadness on their plates right now
3:14 am
sprite

misery shared is misery halved, pug.
3:14 am

pugs, i slept late. have started the 2 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 4 o'clock rock and roll again. when i take the meds at 6am, i fall back asleep.

3:15 am

argh, those kind of nights. Yeah, they last forever and wear one out.
3:16 am

3:16 am
sprite

omg pug! That is so so lousy. Off on a binge, your reckon?
3:17 am
grannyrose

for goodness sake, pugs. are you okay, hun? that is too much.
3:17 am
puglet

of course---and I wont hear anything until hes either picked up or he comes staggering home and then I got to worry about if its going to be a brutal whiskey rage
3:18 am
sprite

any chance you won't let him in the house until he is stone sober again?
3:18 am
sprite

3:19 am
puglet

and here we got this storm rolling in and now I got to worry about taking care of the outdoor animals and sisters sugars are running high and thats my life in paradise

Hi Ruby
3:20 am
sprite

way way too much on your plate, pug. Darn and you are so far away. Yes, maybe have the locks changed. You really don't need a drunk agressive husband coming home.
3:20 am
sprite

hi ruby *hugs*
3:20 am

morning ruby, dear
3:21 am
puglet

thanks rbud
3:21 am

must be hell, rbud and pug :(
3:21 am
rubyfoo

oh, dear pugs!! You don't deserve that! I just read partway down because DH is out hunting for the wallet he lost yesterday, after having fallen on the steps without telling me.
3:21 am
sprite

your life is also a whole barrel of laughs, isn't it ruby :(
3:22 am
rubyfoo

He lost his French residency card, the registration from the car, credit cards, cash and God knows what else. He is a mess. And because he didn't tell meabout his hurt lg, he got blood all over the sheets!
3:22 am
sprite

aw poor old man... and poor you
3:22 am
rubyfoo

he is a mess and very depressed and keeps talking about how he is a burden to me.
3:23 am
sprite

that is so sad... nobody deserves to feel that way.
3:23 am
puglet

hugs Ruby
3:23 am
grannyrose

well he is, ruby. ask him what he is going to do about it!!
3:23 am
rubyfoo

Rosie and Sprite, you don't know how fortunate you are to have such wonderful husbands!!!!!
3:24 am
puglet

no they dont!
3:24 am
sprite

actually, ruby, I do know. Not a day passes that I don't give thanks for having him, and that I don't tell him how much I love him.
3:24 am
rbud

well, we all have our sufferings... we come here to enjoy a little haven of sunny friends, sympathy, and happier times, am I right? :)
3:24 am
puglet

you are so right Rbud
3:25 am
sprite

friends who listen and are there for eachother, yes rbud :)
3:25 am
rubyfoo

pugs, I don'tknow what to say. I feel terrible for you. At least with Burt, besides the extra work he causes me, I am notemotionally invested in him any longer (I can say that here), so I'm tired, but don't care as much as I otherwise would
3:25 am
grannyrose

sprite, a dear friend of mine is taking care of her 90+ year old father. he says the same thing to her. she is at screaming point. she is constantly telling her dad, please put me into your equation, how do you think i feel? it is worse when you don't tell me stuff.
3:25 am
rubyfoo

{{rbud}}
3:26 am
sprite

rose, of course, you are right. But imagine BEING that old man. Confused, severely depressed and constantly feeling you are a burden to others.
3:26 am
puglet

and I for you Ruby
3:28 am
grannyrose

sprite, the burden becomes heavier when you find out that the elderly person has been having chest pain all night, or been feeling nauseated all night...you begin to ask yourself, why do i bother trying to take care of them if they won't let me take care of them.
3:28 am
puglet

brb need some coffee
3:29 am
sprite

rose, I do understand. I agree! But I know a little bit of the other side, and that stinks too. Every time I ask my daughter to do something for me, because I physically can't do it myself, she gives this irritated sigh. So I often do things myself which I pay for afterwards in severe pain, because it hurts worse to have her sigh at me like I am an impossible burden.
3:31 am
rubyfoo

sprite, maybe the next time she says "Have you ioned my green shirt?" or "When is dinner ready?", sigh and say, "Ill get to it when I can. Maybe she'll catch on. Practice those audible sighs!
3:31 am
grannyrose

i understand sprite, and that is very naughty of your girl to make you feel you are such a burden. maybe as she gets older her understanding will also grow.
3:31 am
rubyfoo

*oof* he's baaack
3:31 am
sprite

lol ruby
3:32 am
sprite

good luck, ruby. Will think of you both.
3:35 am
sprite

she is a teenager, they are supposed to be rude and selfish, lol. I will sit it out, she will be better in a few years time. Just saying, it is incredibly hard to care for an elderly parent. But it is also very hard to be that parent and be dependent.
3:37 am
puglet

am back---bye Ruby
3:38 am
grannyrose

i hope i have learned a little along the way after taking care of two very different geriatrics. i understand about the being dependent. each time i have surgery, i have a deficit in my independence column. i truly rely on don to do the simplest things for me, like putting on my knickers, dry my feet, it's all so frustrating.
3:39 am
sprite

so very true, rose. It sucks BIG time. *hugs*
3:39 am
grannyrose

wb pugs. sprite, my heart goes out to you, with your independence being curtailed so early in your life.
3:40 am
puglet

so Rose, did you order those new boots?
3:40 am
sprite

I am ok, rose. I have you and my other friends and my love and two sometimes impossible but still very dear children. A roof over my head, food on my table, a loving silly dog. I am blessed.

4:12 am
grannyrose

can sis help out at all? i mean with the animals and stuff.
4:12 am
grannyrose

now i am not going to tell you not to worry. no human can go through such a time without worrying.
4:13 am
puglet

yes, as long as I cue her---for some reason her sugars are up( or were last night)
4:15 am
grannyrose

it's so easy to say, just rest in the Lord, but how can you when everything is falling down around your ears? yes, prayer helps, and sometimes you do get an answer. but we are human with all our failings.
4:17 am
puglet

thats about all I can do and have to do to keep from falling apart myself
4:18 am
puglet

I truly hope things gets better for yourself Rose, I really really do
4:18 am
grannyrose

poor pugs, i so feel for you, dear. i will continue to pray for you.
4:19 am
puglet

thank you Rose and I will you too
4:20 am

Morning OO and just what is being together? And hope all is okay with you
4:22 am

Hi Liz

Hello
5:25 am
Lizlin

Hey pugs - don't like to interfere - I've read a bit of the horrible stuff you've had to deal with and just wanted to give you a special hug and remind you that you're a good person and you've got lots of good friends here.
5:26 am
Lizlin

If we can support you in any way, you know we will.
5:26 am
puglet

thanks Liz---its kind of embaressing though but Iam being truthful and maybe my story can help someone outthere
5:26 am
puglet

I know and thank you
5:26 am
Lizlin

I think it always helps if you can share experiences and don't ever be embarrassed.
5:28 am
puglet

I more than likely make it worse when or if he comes in with a bad mouth and I dont take it laying down to say (and I hate having battles of any kind)
5:30 am
Lizlin

Maybe - but you have to do what's right for you at the time. I can't / won't give advice because, truthfully, I'm very lucky and have never had similar experiences, so I'd probably be talking out of turn. But just know that although I may not say much, you have my warmest thoughts and wishes.
5:31 am
o-o

His abuse is not your fault ... blaming yourself is something the abused often do.
5:31 am
Lizlin

That's very true and from what I've read, it's something the abuser thrives on - making the abused feel it's their fault.
5:32 am
puglet

thank you so much Liz, hugs
5:32 am
Lizlin

:)
5:32 am
puglet

He does and also tries making the drinking my fault too
5:34 am
Lizlin

Not your fault - everyone has to take control of and responsibility for their OWN actions.
5:34 am
puglet

even though I know better, the words hurt, although not as much now as they use too but it is much like a punch in the guts
5:34 am
Lizlin

Poor Pugs :(
5:35 am
Lizlin

Funny how we're taught as kids the saying "sticks and stones may break my bones but words can't harm me" - but they do! Words are so powerful.
5:36 am
puglet

I think the words last longer than the bruises
5:36 am
Lizlin

Probably because we keep going over words in our minds.
5:37 am

Pugs, look in the yellow pages for support groups .... is the an al-anon group?

Depends ... letting other define you is not good ... defining yourself with a bunch of negativity is not good either.

sometimes the negativity is true though OO

sometimes the negativity is perceived as true based on a bad self-image the result of others defining you

Pugs, I think you are doing a great job, considering all your various adversities. I don't think your problem is being "defined" by us and the negative feelings are situational, not having to do with YOU. We wouldn't love you so much if you weren't worth it!!!!
6:31 am

It is easy for people to say "kick himout". It's fine for them to say that, but the practicalities of such a decision are beyond most of us, no attr how bad it gets

Also, her husband is doing the defining, not us. Seventeen years of abuse is more than situational.
6:43 am

Hes has been through every program out here and jail time too and hes in his late 60's so if he was or wanted to change he would of done so by now. And the abuse isnot only when hes drinking but between as well anymore

8:14 am
crosshair

The cheese-mites asked how the cheese got there,
And warmly debated the matter;
The Orthodox said that it came from the air,
And the Heretics said from the platter.
They argued it long and they argued it strong,
And I hear they are arguing now;
But of all the choice spirits who lived in the cheese,
Not one of them thought of a cow. - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

9:06 am
RoundBarn

the problem is, none can come stay long enough--and none can afford it. The grandsons want it but they're still in college, and where will they get jobs? I'd rent, but it's not up to code--the old septic system--and it's hard to be a landlord a thousand miles away. I wrote most of my books at the lake. Had my daughter chosen to live--she was there every summer--I'd have figured it out for her. Now it's too lonesome (and dangerous) alone, even with friends. Plus VT taxes are awful, now, on 2nd homes.
9:08 am
gramma

Oh dear. I am sorry. And yes taxes are ridiculous on 2nd homes especially. We have a camp on Lake Champlain. I list it as my primary residence so we can afford to keep it.
9:09 am

RoundBarn, what books have you written?
9:09 am
RoundBarn

gramma, if you email me your address I will send you some of the things I've written on Vermont--got the Dorothy Canfield Fisher prize one year for my novel on Vermont--it was 3nd in line for the Newbury, but never got really noticed--they didn't advertise runners up then.
9:11 am
gramma

Wow! That's great. How can I send you my eml.w/o posting it here?
9:12 am
RoundBarn

second in line, I meant. Look up The Taste of Spruce Gum--it takes place on top of Killington and in Rutland. I think all my books are listed on my website roundbarnstories.com, or pull up my name Jacqueline Jackson--my kids run my website(s) more or less--they say just keep on writing mom, get the big book done.

owl, i don't think they trained him all that much -- pretty much on the job training. Meanwhile, I think he will be able to write a great book after a year or two of this. Since he was a kid, a friend of ours (who was a writer) said he'd be a writer… And i still believe he will eventually, altho he hasn't taken it seriously yet

indeed cross. I had predicted my eldest would become a professor (when he was in fourth grade) and I despaired when he decided to go to med school… Then a year or two into it, he decided to get his PhD and lo and behold, he IS a professor now

whys is there need for babble rehab?. since we are all babblers then does not that make us the majority? The answer is yes and since the majority make the rules and we all play babble then babbling is of course normal. Now if babble is normal then there is no need for rehab from what is by concensus a normal activity. Now, saying all that it seems we need a rehab for those who do NOT play babble.

Hi there, LeslieAnn. I think I told you that my family are from Pittsfield and Baylis. My step-mother passed away New Years Eve.....she was a great lady, lived to be 94. I was raised by foster parents so I didn't meet them until I was 44. I don't hear much from them anymore, however, my stepmother kept in touch for years. I'm not able to fly anymore, so I didn't go. They used to take Dad into Springfield to the hospital from time to time.

never heard of supergluing your teeth before, this guy got a degree or something
11:33 pm
grannyrose

lol, he used some sort of epoxy resin? i think. he has all the latest techniques.
11:34 pm
joso

good, not just a talented friend
11:34 pm
grannyrose

maybe i should have had him super glue all my teeth together, and go on a liquid diet, might lose a few pounds tht way.
11:35 pm
joso

next time fang came by you would rip your teeth out by the roots just because of the need to respond
11:36 pm
grannyrose

roflol....either that or wanting to rip her jugular out. poor don has had the most frustrating morning with lawyers re MIL's will.
11:37 pm
joso

lawyers, always a fun bunch
11:37 pm
grannyrose

he and fang are co-executers , and she has tripped out of state for a holiday. and supposedly don needs her permission to start probate.
11:38 pm
harpjane

actually you can't use superglue, but there are over the counter products you can use in an emergency
11:38 pm
joso

sounds right
11:38 pm
harpjane

but you can always just wire the jaw shut!

11:39 pm
grannyrose

11:39 pm
cosdem

*waves to the lovely people*
11:39 pm

thanks harp, but I hadn't contemplated any home experiments in any case
11:39 pm
grannyrose

11:39 pm
harpjane

Well, I got through a 3 day weekend with my dentures. But it wasn't pretty. Don't know about real teeth....

11:43 pm
cosdem

I have a 4 day weekend next week and the week after that so alls good lol
11:45 pm
harpjane

I was mortified. I broke my front teeth (four of them) out of my temporary plate, right before I had to leave town to play the harp at a wedding. I didn't know the people, but I was pretty sure they wouldn't want the vampire look...
11:45 pm
grannyrose

good grief, cos. just how much work do anticipate doing in 3 days? lolol
11:46 pm
harpjane

But they managed to stay together until after the wedding. They broke again on Monday but by then I didn't care!
11:46 pm
grannyrose

awww, jane. know how you feel. one of my own upper central incisors broke off at the gum. it was 4 weeks before i could get my partial made and fitted. and i had to work in the meantime. fortunately most patients were still too sleepy to notice.
11:46 pm
cosdem

dont ask me ask the board of trustees lol
11:47 pm
harpjane

I was afraid they would all joke about the harpists' teeth.... remembering it at their 50th anniversary.
11:48 pm
grannyrose

not so fortunate, i developed quite a noticeable lisp, which my work colleagues commented on. most embarrassing.
11:48 pm
grannyrose

hey, cos, so long as you are being paid for it, let them do it..
11:48 pm
harpjane

I always thought it would be an exercise in humility if it ever happened to me. But then it happened and I didn't feel that way.
11:49 pm
grannyrose

no, it's not humility, it's utter embarrassment. and degrading, demeaning...
11:50 pm
harpjane

11:51 pm
grannyrose

then there was the time, i had changed tooth-paste, and it was being remarkbly effective. and in the middle of a large family gathering, my mother said in a very load voice, i'm so glad you have had your teeth whitened, rose. i could have smacked her. lololol
11:52 pm
grannyrose
