And to you as well.

And to you as well.

Sorry. Disregard, brain fart.

 

[seahawk7]

Hey guys, I'm looking to get my dh a ***** pack for Christmas. I'm thinking one by travelon. Do you know of any other good ones? THNX

I don't know of any sorry.

 

[JenniferS]

Please plug your ears @JenniferS--- the tomatoes in the salad are like candy, they are so sweet and yummy.

Pass.

I haven't mentioned this yet, because I didn't want to jinx it, but I am absolutely busting!
It looks like two of the three kidlets may be moving out. Not the same two as before.

Son #1 - the most miserable, bi-polar, car-wrecking SOB in the Universe says he's leaving as soon as school is over. This means Hubby and I will have the entire upstairs to ourselves!
He says I make him crazy with my controlling ways and he has to get as far away from me as possible.
Ummmm ... DITTO!
I will still encourage him to get that counselling that he mentioned.
He asked if I could front him $400 for each of the first two months. Truth is - I would give him $400 a month for the rest of his life if it meant he were happier, living in his own place, not berating me every day.
Honestly, there are only so many times a day I can hear, "I hate you ... Your mother died just to get away from you ... You are the worst person in the world ...."

Adopted Son is getting his own place, with my nephew and another guy.
There's an apartment that will give you the MUNCHIES every time you walk in the hallway.

This will give me my bottom basement back for storage. I need to get some order back in my life, I have been so stressed with all the carp everywhere!
Plus, he always has two or three friends over. None of them are bad kids ... it's just that they are ALWAYS over.

This will leave just Son #2. His anxiety level should plummet. I will yell less. He will yell back less.

Maybe, just maybe, this will work out this time.
Please Lord.

Otherwise I'm moving! Seriously.

Guessing your DH would beat you out the door. But then again he is the one that said all along boot 'em.

And Yeah, that really is a narcissistic thing he, #1 has going whether it is just bipolar and a bit of paranoia schizophrenia mixed in or both. Much harder on those that have to cope with it than for the afflicted as they only live in their own little manipulated world. My sympathies.

We always like Mama Melrose, we do it every trip. I have heard, however that some people had less than good experiences.

Is that not true of just about any restaurant though?

 

[seahawk7]

THNX I'm going to see if they have it online. I can't believe I'm already putting together my Christmas shopping list, but I'm already planning my summer 2016 vacation. I guess I'm just a planner!

And I leave in 15 days for WDW and haven't packed or bought a thing! I gots to get movin'!

 

[seahawk7]

Is that not true of just about any restaurant though?

Yeah. I guess call Miss Obvious but I thought it sounded ok as I posted it. Oh well.

From our local Catfish Parlour...!

What are those sticks in the catfish? Are they deep fried hot dogs?

 

[seahawk7]

NAILED IT!
Day of Arrival, Saturday, August 22 - 6:55 p.m. x4

This is exciting for me, as it will be the only new dining experience for all of us.
Kind of fun to kick off the trip in a revolving Character-laden restaurant, conveniently located next to Soarin'.

That's a whole lot of SCORE in one little package!



ETA - Hubby ate there in the Summer of '86! Now he tells me.

Yea I'm glad! You will love it. Make sure to tell them you want a booth when you check in that way you can spin slowly. I don't think the tables and chairs option revolves.

 

[seahawk7]

You're right.
He's going.
Don't care how much it costs me.

And as much as Adopted Son is little to no trouble, I'll be happy to have my basement back.

Mark my words though - Bro #2, who is about to be evicted, is NOT moving in.
I've already told him so. In no uncertain terms.
That would be like jumping out of the frying pan, and into the fire. Plus, his dog is nuts!

I need some sanity in my life.
And a few pieces of new furniture. New stuff makes me happy. How shallow am I?

About as shallow as to the center of the earth.

 

[seahawk7]

At least the kid will never go to a public school. Charlotte....barf. Old fashion name.

So @FutureCEO guess who has been up since 630 am and watched the entire second season of Broadchurch?
I absolutely loved it. Now I'm going to be up for 27 hours straight but it was worth it.

*hugs* No mother deserves to be talked to that way. None. That's horrible. I hope he gets the help he needs, but yeesh; he does not have the right to speak to you that way.

Amen sister friend, a no win situation.

The mentally disturbed don't rationalize that way unfortunately, they live in that world only between their own two ears and logic, decency don't step into it. It is kinda sad because there are so many meds these days that do control the irrational behaviors, getting them to seek that kinda help is hard because they genuinely believe it is everyone else is crazed and only they are wronged. It is torturous for families to let go when they refuse help.

I have two sets of friends that have not had children to end the bloodline of mental disorders in the family, the only way to really end the flawed bloodlines. Heartbreaking but a wise decision.

My DS had 2 room mates in college with mental disorders, joy. One will likely end it all someday, he is that self destructive ticking timebomb, the other is on meds fror Bipolar. He is actually a totally different human now. He use to physically punch out people in rage. Now with meds a nice young man that finally finished college and holds a great job. Just pray he continues his meds which are a lifer kinda thing. So freaking difficult.

 

[seahawk7]

It would probably be shortened to Lottie by the family.

I could see that.

I can't say that I am surprised to see the photo. Giggle.

 

[Gabe1]

I used to walk a lot of miles too, now I'm lucky if I make it around the block.

Oh dear. That makes me sad. Sorry.

 

[Gabe1]

My dad used to catch what we called muddy catfish...cause they tasted just like fish with mud.

Yep, I'm in that camp too.

 

[Gabe1]

these bags are a must in all my trips. I always have one..
but not themed or cheap like these.

I use leather durable made locally.
They last a ton with tons of space.
Nothing like fitting securely your glasses, passport, extra money, keys, batteries (for my implant).. and even I could fit my old camera there (my new one is way too big and heavy lol)

In our early years we all had fannie packs in our family until they fell out of favor. Beyond useful though, I miss wearing mine.

 

[JenniferS]

Yeah. I guess call Miss Obvious but I thought it sounded ok as I posted it. Oh well.

Nope, sorry. Didn't mean it that way.

What I meant is that sometimes the head chef is working, sometimes the sous chef. Sometimes the kitchen is slammed and your food gets rushed. Sometimes your server is slammed and your food sits for a few minutes longer than it should. And sometimes, you order chicken parm, but then see your partner's tenderloin, and think, "Man, I should have ordered the tenderloin" ... and now all of a sudden, your chicken parm is just meh.

There are a myriad of reasons, day to day, hour to hour, why some folks will sing a restaurant's praises and others will barely give it a passing grade.

Thank you. That was very kind.
