They're still threatening tomatoes and flooding here, but less and less do I believe it. The puddles I saw while I was out didn't seem to amount to all that. With any luck at all, you get much less drama than that forecast sounds like.

Oh my be safe...

Thank you I'm sure we will be well prepared. Our problem is we've had 8 in of rain earlier in the week and now this on top of it. So the ground is soaked. But I'm sure it'll be fine it's moving faster and going to be out of here sooner.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Thanks and normal amount of cloudiness. Otherwise very little discomfort.

Excellent!!! Mom complained very little about hers, and she's a whiner.

Well shout out when it's all clear those pesky tornadoes make us all nervous.

So sad news….

My mom fell last nite. Broken hip. She has to get surgery this morning or she will not walk again.

My sister is with her last nite and again this morning. I will be taking over later and tomrrow.

Well shoot.... it is my biggest fear with my mom

 

[Missk_2022]

Well, that sucks muchly!!! The Josh shall burn all day then since she suffers' needlessly.


Honestly, that has been my fear with my mother, and she won't take her stick with her. "It makes me look old, and it's heavy, and I don't want to." Fuck all that noise, Mom, and do it anyway.

I wonder if we frustrated our parents as much when we didn't listen....I think yes...grrrrr

Use the stick woman!!!!

Looks like Calm before the storm here in New Jersey. Around 11:00 a.m. we expect severe thunderstorms 30 to 40 mph winds with gusts to 60 mph. The storm moved over Pennsylvania but we're on the east side which is the strongest. We have a 30% chance of tornadoes today until I think 3:00 p.m.. so it's going to be a wonderful morning. Hope everyone else is safe and dry.

And here in oh we are dry dry dry dry

Pimp out the men? Naahhh too much...lol

Oh no Wonderer. I’m praying for an easy surgery and a quick recovery. My 80 yr old mother fell off a ladder but thankfully she landed in the grass and only her arm hit a paver. We scold her all the time about how she thinks she’s still in her 40’s but can’t do the things she did then. It’s a fine line between letting them keep their independence and protecting them. I’m glad you and your sister are there for her. That will surely help her recover faster.

Debby is gone. She’s left some reminders but nothing like past storms. Usually the clean up is far worse than the storm. All she did was delay our concrete pour another week. Hopefully everything dries out.

Now back to safe harbors, turquoise water, and sunshine Morning Z…

Hang in there. Tornado’s are no joke. Luckily we only had a couple of small sporadic ones that did minimal damage and none near us. It turned out to be a rain event. Hunker down and brew a pot! Stay safe dear.

Just some levity between meetings and updates from my sister.

Well it's almost Noon and it's so nice to see the sun rays peeking thru some of the clouds. We haven't seen any signs of said sun in days?! Looks as if that Debby front went way west of us and we'll soon have the summer heat and sun back this weekend.

Happy Friday!!

I had a gross dm today.... gross

Ugh - hate these

Both sound SO good! Thanks, Likes!

Directing thanks to @Missk_2022 as they are her recipes.
I'm just a good note taker.

Yuck! I hope you just deleted it! That's what I do with them. Don't even engage.

Well..., maybe except for an eye poke!

Among other pokes

Well whoever it was. Fuck them.

In the lungs.

Bastard.

What an awesome curse - will need to remember this for future usage!!!

Devastating news, @Wonderer67. Keeping the light on for you here and thinking of you/mom/family until we hear she's all clear and recovered.

Well, that sucks muchly!!! The Josh shall burn all day then since she suffers' needlessly.

My mom was the same with her walker - until her second fall when she broke the same 5 ribs again.

These tools are to help retain independence - and to give you more room to safely navigate.

Does your mom need a custom, badass, lighter weight walking stick?? Hmm... sounds like a project

Running 10. Behave!View attachment 2375186

Going with that math, after your 10 miles, you're eating... 100 tacos??? Um, I'd recommend stretching first?

Good morning. I don’t wish to be ungrateful but my tea was 4c and I don’t see it. Don’t worry I will make my own to save the pain!

Your tea is always available - just not always advertised.

Honestly, how do some people manage to navigate life?
Today's example:

Standard email sent:
We got your request.
We updated your password to unlock your account.
Login w/ the new, generic value below.
Then change your password & set security questions.
Reply to let us know you completed all tasks or if more assistance is needed.

Customer: Does this mean I put in my old password, it doesn't like that?

Me: No - this means you enter the new values that I sent in the email below. Then once you've signed on with those, you need to change the password to a secure value.
(copy/paste & highlight the relevant section)

Customer: I'm sorry. I didn't see that in the first email. Do I continue to use that password, how do I change or answer security questions, it didn't prompt me to change or questions?

Me: No, the application will not prompt your to change your password or set security questions.

However, the current password is generic and not secure. Which is why the email directs you to change your password after you have signed in ... and to set your security questions if you have not already done so.
(copy/paste & highlight that section from original email - complete with instructions on "how to")

Customer: When I log in again, it should prompt me to change my password, I will do it at that time.

Me: When you log in with the generic password (value) the application will not prompt you to change the password.

The application does not recognize that as a generic, non-secure password, but we humans know it is. So for best practices and security, please change your password to a non-generic, secure value. And check to see that your security questions have been set.

So, that was the first hour of my work day.
How y'all doing?
TFIG - on steroids today!!
And a (decaf) coffee day for me as well.

Mom has a good lightweight cane which would suffice for most occasions. I also got her a lovely twisted wood walking stick for walking and for Necessary Poke Administration. They both rest in the corner near the front door and both get ignored. I'm wondering if it's going to take a fall to get her attention.


Truth is, I'd prefer first of all that she take her phone with her. She sucks at that, too.

I dearly hope not, but getting old isn't easy. Loss of mobility and acknowledging that it means you're closer to the end of the road than the start is very difficult for most of us. Whether we're the one aging or the one watching our parents age - it's not easy... and often not a kind process either. I wish you both the best outcome possible.
