Note, I don't pretend to be always successful lol

I don't think it's realistic to be "successful" with every interaction. We can strive to learn and do better every "next time" though. I think that's a better definition of success - at least for me.

My dad did the cornbread and milk thing too, as dessert.

When I say say he grew up poor, I mean 6th grade education. His mom died before he was 3. His father used a mule to pull felled trees from the hallows to take to the mill via wagon. On the way home from the mill, they would hunt for dinner. Squirrel and quail with an occasional rabbit. Couldn't afford the time it took to walk to a lake to fish.

My mom scooped him up after he returned from Korea and discovered his girlfriend had dropped him for someone that made it home before he did. He was heartbroken. He had just gotten a letter from her before he started his transport back to the states too.

His dad died shortly after they were married having sold everything to afford the hooch that killed him. Dad never had two pennies to rub together until he didn't anyone to support but his wife and kids.

Smart though. Had to be. He was a success, but that's another story.

Your dad sounds like an awesome man!

 

[Lilianna23]

Thanks for the affirmation Lili

Always happy to affirm dessert!

Figures . . . .

 

[Lilianna23]

That's "dear" to you, Little Missie.

Yes, dear!

 

[Lilianna23]

No. They taught me not to believe them.

Is orgy part of a belief system???

 

[Lilianna23]

The third one will for certain.

I don't know that there will be a 3rd!

Who needs that kind of negativity?!?

FFS the day aint ending

Did it ever happen to any of you that even a lucrative overtime payment cant motivate you to do overtime?

Workload sucks

Sometimes the time is worth more than the money!

 

[Lilianna23]

Awww. I had to swallow my pride as a cook when peanut butter and jelly was shouted out.

Sometimes you just have to take the L!

 

[Lilianna23]

I had a dream last night that I was playing @Qky75 in scrabble in St. Louis MO. He was really good at it and I am not. He gave me a layup so not to score too many points on me and changed “live” to lives”

Then I drove a couple hundred miles west to either Springfield or Joplin Missouri. There I was playing someone really good too. I didn’t know who his person was. They changed “lives” to “believes” somehow. I was amazed.

I have no idea what this means.

Now back to your regular programming!

What were you smoking/eating/drinking before bed, W?

 

[Lilianna23]

The problem is my PCP does not seem to care even though the radiologist suggested on my MRI to do more scans in 6 months. So, I’m getting a new PCP who is more engaged!

That's the way to do it!

 

[Lilianna23]

I was tired all day yesterday. Not lethargic, just tired.

I literally had meetings from 9 o’clock till after five, then we had dinner and watch mash and Jeopardy. I fell asleep right after M*A*S*H on the couch. I woke up at 10:30 all pissed off that I wouldn’t sleep well.

But somehow, I went right to bed and slept till 515. I got a pretty good night sleep.

Complete with interesting dreams!

 

[Lilianna23]

Plan for the day: drink coffee, walk the mall in the morning and park this afternoon, find a new PCP, meet son for dinner, run errands and enjoy the 60+ day!

Sounds like a fine plan!

 

[Lilianna23]

I am thinking that is the wrong prescription for sleep!

Not the way B2 and I do it!

 

[Qky75]

Good night you all

 

[Missk_2022]

Good night you all

Night

Welcome to Spring in the Midwest

I broke the record for overtime at my last employer.
They didn't want to listen when I said the workflow between Marketing and Traffic was skewed and Traffic needed to be a team of 3 Inter-Departmental personnel and not just myself.
I heard they implemented all my suggestions - after I left.

Impressive!
No wonder you're tired - that's a lot of driving in one night.

Atta boy!! Good job being your own health advocate.
Hope you find a better match with your PCP!!

Then Ima stay quiet and not mention my extra kitties from 30 years ago.

What's the recipe for that?!?!?

Snow? In the south? This late???

Day. Humans.


The plumbers loaded their stuff into my new semi trailer storage thingie. There was a whiff of stale. His helper said he couldn't do it. The smell reminded him of how he got here, stuffed in one of those things with 70 of his closest strangers. Smells make for powerful memories.


The nice resident in 201 told me she moved here to be near her only son and his two kids. Sonny spanked one of his kids. She took him to task for it, reminding him that she had never spanked him, not once. She hasn't been allowed to speak to any of them since last October 3.


My landlady for the week keeps wanting to know if I need anything. Treated a bit more like a sensible adult would be nice. At least I'm not answering, "fuck you."


I may be over people for the day . . . .

That's just mean of the son!
