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

Yeah I get it.... I see a little of that but it isnt too bad...
90percent they are awesome but that 10 percent is something else
In some ways my parents should have stopped at one child.
There is a lot of unresolved trauma that luckily I have fixed some of that in myself


If you can see it and be realistic about it, and are willing to try something else, you can be rid of such things.
 
Thanks OM for the memes.

Grandpa taxi runs this warm morning. It’s going up to 70 F today. Then the storms come in and down go the temperature again. It’s March so it’s expected.

After taxing then brunch with my life partner, a massage and on the patio for dinner!

Enjoy your day as each is precious!
Sounds like a perfect day to me! I hope you enjoyed it! 🥰🥰
 
Happy HumpDay…it’s my day and I share with everyone! 🤣. Weather is here, but I’m on nursing duty. Going to call in reserves today so I can have a little break. She Who is Laid up in Recovery isn’t too happy bout that. We’ll see…it’s time for a granddaughter visit to cheer her up.

Everyone hunker down. Halfway through! Santa Fe Bataan memorial MZ…

Keep her walking, doing range of motion exercises, resting, and taking fluids. How is her pain level? Medicating for pain about 30 minutes before exercise is so much better than medicating after when she's already in pain.
 
I feel both sides of this. Neither of my siblings are really talking to my dad these days. And he's disinherited both. I'm the oldest, the blackest of the sheep, and the one my dad learned how to be a parent on. So there are scars from the past that are part of who I am. There's also the knowledge that in many ways he did his best with the tools he had. And the knowledge that he's not going to change at this point. So...I can choose to cut off my past and go forward without him, or I can acknowledge that he is who he is and respect the journey he's on.
This is both very loving and forgiving, K! 🫂🫂
 
Tell me what phone you have.... I need to replace my android s9+
I just bought the Samsung S25 Ultra, thinking it would be a significant upgrade from my S22 Ultra. It doesn't seem to be. I like it fine, I'm just not overwhelmed by it.

You can get the S22 Ultras fairly inexpensively now. Look for refurbished ones on Amazon or used, not necessarily refurbished, on Swappa or Back Market. You might be able to find deals on the S25 Ultra nearer to the end of the year.

My husband's phone was an S9+. I cleaned it up and gave it to my housekeeper.
 
I had one of my famous wall of texts describing my two siblings currently and how different they are now but decided to not waste the space.

Suffice it to say that one let my dad's death be a closure and one did not. Their level of success followed accordingly.

Man, do I have stories. Heh.
Just know your "walls of text" aren't wasted here, M! 🫂🫂
 
Oooo, I found a box of hazelnut Folgers coffee pods in the walk-in pantry this morning. Opened but not even close to expired.

I'm guessing it went like this:

Sister - "I'll try hazelnut coffee because everyone says it's good even though it's different and I don't like change." **Sip** "Ugh! Gross! Why did I try that? And why did I buy such a large box of it?"

Proceeds to make Folgers coffee and adds hazelnut flavored creamer to it.

"Aaah! Much better. Why do they even sell that other stuff? Don't they know I don't like it that way?"

Seriously though, she is that self absorbed. I'm not exaggerating even a little bit. When I point it out that people are allowed to like different things than her, she kind of shuts down and goes quiet like she can't process it as fact.
My brother, a confirmed bachelor, is similarly self absorbed. He doesn't understand people that are different than he is. 🙄🙄
