Now the potato and cauliflower with cheese sounds good, but I never had sheep before When my daughter and I went to the Space Needle Restaurant (my profile picture)in Seattle she ordered a lamb burger, I couldn't even look at it I avoided looking at it the whole time it was there.
Yeah "banned" from a thread means you can't write on it. "Hidden Comments" are there, just hidden but anyone can look at it I don't understand the latter.
Glad you wrote this Glitchy, I think for some of us who are over 50 should have some sort of Power of Attorney that the kids (if you have them) could be the spokesman for their care. And that is not just for the married ones. For ones who have more than one child like me. I need to get something going. There are certain kids (I have a lot of kids) I don't want to be the spokesman for my care.
My stepmother and I have talked about certain things like this, about if we want to live in a vegetative state or not and DNRs (Do not resuscitate). We said we were going to write something, but procrastinators that the both of us are...have not done it.
This is what happens more often than not, and for years one child is left to care for their parent and never have respite and so much resentment toward their siblings. It is sad, but in America it happens quite a bit.
I know a few others in other countries that it is common that three generations live together. They respect their parents and think it is a shame how Americans treat their elderly. But in this day and age, we have parents who were horrible parents and so the respect goes right out the window. I mean not just "oh mom sent me to my room without dinner" type thing. Parents are just horrible. Some who have grown up with good parents could never understand what others have gone through, so it is hard to say what is our moral obligation.
I am thinking so too Juicy. I've known her since childhood.
When there are children involved and they've been married or have been together for a long time, there is always that possibility that the ex whom you are dating will badmouth your friend, that could go really wrong.
One of my friends wanted to set me up with her ex-husband, but I felt like that was too icky, there was too much history, four kids and all that. Even though she had a boyfriend. Well a couple of years later he died, had heart problems and it turned out that she was still madly in love with him. She is was and still is brokenhearted.
We have a pretty good neighborhood here. And the houses are so close, it wouldn't be right to mow early...specially when I stay up half the night on CS!
In the summer there is a fine line: We have to mow early because it gets so hot early, there is the danger of heat stroke and also fire danger. I always try around 9 AM.
I do need sleep...but am awake early Sunday morning. Not like I have to get up early, just have to mow the grass and weed eat tomorrow so not something I can do early in the morning, the houses are too close and it is not nice to fire up the lawnmower early. That is my story and I am sticking to it!!
RE: can you choose the way you feel..?
Well yes Dandy if you are wanting to go out the window!!
