The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Oh…it gets better! Buckle in. Get started on a normal day yesterday and try to find a plumber for my mom’s place. They’ve been getting a…smell. ☹️. We find someone who’ll do an emergency run (he actually go there early) and as we were due for an Ice storm I didn’t mind paying the call out fee.

He goes into he crawl space and comes out with some lovely news! The 55 yr old cast iron pipe had rusted and split under the kitchen sink…buuuuuut, he can’t do any work until the crawl space is cleared. Seems the original contractor and other’s mom and dad hired used that area to just leave whatever plaster and concrete rubble they discarded. No problem right?

Well the two bathrooms are hooked to that same cast Iron pipes with a check valve, so no sewage was getting through, but the gasses were! 🫢🥴🤢. So not only were they smelling the bog gas, there was a mold issue…

So I packed the whole tribe up and moved them in. Son is taking our granddaughter to Chapel Hill for her C-diff…a round of anti-b’s didn’t clear it so we’re worried about that…she seems fine but something’s not right.

So here I sit…waiting on contractors and doctors…not sure who I pissed off in the cosmos Lili but when it rains it pours!

At least the worst of the Ice storm missed us…come on Spring!

Some construction workers are just pigs! And that's being very mean to the pigs! 🤬🤬 It costs them money to take that rubbish to the dump so they would rather just cut corners, hoping by the time you discover their malfeasance, they're long gone. Now you're going to have to spend even MORE money than it would have cost them to clear out the crawl space.

C-diff is notoriously difficult to eradicate. Your poor baby girl! 🫂🫂

Maybe you need to burn some sage!
 
New here AND newly 50 actually. Will do my best to blend in. Just felt like I should post something and not just react and lurk. Anyway carry-on! 😂
Happy birthday! 🥳 🎂 🎉 🎁 🪅 🥳 🎊 🎈🍻🥂

And welcome to our thread!

We're a bit of a different thread here. We have 4 simple rules:
1. No drama
2. No religion
3. No politics
4. We don't hit on each other here. Take it to DMs.

Otherwise, we're a fun-loving bunch and talk about all kinds of things! Check out the first post and maybe go back a few pages to get the vibe. If you like what you see, please hang out with us! If this isn't your thing, there are about eleventy-billion other threads on Lit!

Edit to say you got a double dose of "The Rules!" 😅😅 I'm almost always on here later. I didn't read ahead to see that Miss K had already informed you. Apologies!

Morning everyone. Still snowing, 3 days of it. But it’s light and blows away I. The wind. It’s find to get heavier tonight into tomorrow. I love listening to all the new transplants who bitch about the weather. What did you expect? It’s flipping Colorado?

Hope everyone is safe and stays warm if you’re impacted.
Stay warm BSK! 🤗🤗
 
Well today is the end of our wildfowling season and it has been poorest I have ever known with so few geese about. The plus was this boy learning to settle in the mud and cold of a Scottish winter.
Gorgeous boy! 😍😍😍

Talking about the dog, G! 😅🤣😘

And, why does it look like you've brought a croquet set out with you? Is this another English way to lure birds? 😆😅🤣

It was in the 20s all day today. It started snowing around 2pm and by the time I had to drive home at 530, it was pretty slick out. Not too much accumulation, but everything was pretty slippery!

Luckily not too many people on the roads and I had my pickup.

It’s finally gonna warm up to 35 over the weekend. This has been a winter.
I'm glad you got home OK, W! 🥰🥰
 
Long day! Early start with a 730am meeting and a late leave time.

We’ve been selling firewood left, right and center, so I had to fill up the farm stand and also bundle up a buncha kindling.

It’s been fuckin cold and I think people are running low on firewood.

Shopped in our freezer for dinner again (veggie lasagna leftover from Christmas). I am determined to not throw away any food.

I made a lasagna for dinner, too. 😋

I worry about any list featuring ballz and pork sausage!
 
My wife just said to me “What rhymes with orange”
I said “No it doesn’t”

I haven’t spoken to my wife in 3 weeks.
I didn’t want to interrupt her.

I relabeled all the jars in my wife’s spice rack.
I’m not in trouble yet but the thyme is cumin…

My wife just asked me when I was going to stop quoting Elton John song lyrics.
I said “I think it’s gonna be a long, long time…”

My wife woke up with a huge smile on her face this morning.
I love marker pens.

I invited my wife to go to the gym with me and then I didn’t show.
I hope she gets the message that we’re not working out.

I gave my French wife a pendant with “le monde” carved in.
It means the world to her.

My wife has said she’s leaving me because I’ve put CCTV all around the flat.
I can see where she’s coming from.

I married my wife for her looks …
Just not the ones she’s been giving me lately
