Sympathy like.

Oh that stinks and definitely a reason to lay all day. Hmmmm. So a really good cold is all I need.

I don't recommend it. I always think colds are no big deal and then I get one and I realize how miserable it is to have one. Maybe just fake one.

Dh has had a nasty cold for a week and a half. Lingering cough now. His voice still isn’t back to normal yet. I am grateful no one else got it. Hope you feel better for work tomorrow.

I'm sure with all you've got going on it is hard to find the time for that. I actually had a nice slate of activities planned for today, like brunch, wrapping presents, going to a hot cocoa bar party at church, but all that was scrapped because of this stupid cold I have.

Sympathy like, hope you're all better by tomorrow. GWS xoxo

Can’t say that I have. I don’t really have time to watch shows I DVR’d.

I hear ya. I'm still behind on my DVR'ed shows, but that one got hold of me...

Yes well hopefully it is done now. I didn’t like when he picked on @Mr Ferret 88 where he basically said that his father didn’t spank him enough. That was when I had it. Only @figmentfan423 can pick on him like that.

The difference being that @figmentfan423 never intends her tormenting of @Mr Ferret 88 to be mean. She doesn't have a mean bone in her body.

That guy on the other hand was doing it to be a jerk. He was also going after @DisneyBound2017 and me, but the worst was said to Ferret.

He was just wrong on so many levels.

I actually facepalmed when he went into that territory, I guess he's projecting his insecurity onto others. maybe HE didn't get spanked enough.

I get that I don't have Prime and didn't pay extra for shipping so I'm automatically a third class citizen. But I ordered something from Best Buy and it was here within three days. Free shipping and everything. It's been five days and haven't even shipped. I would tell Amazon off but they have stuff no one else has.

And you're 100% certain this product was handled by Amazon and not by a third party vendor?

Thats very clever!
Love the system to maintain the passagers in perfect lineup.

Thanks, I hope I feel better tomorrow too. This morning when I took hubby to work I stopped at school and put together a sub plan for Monday just in case. That way if I feel wretched tomorrow I will call the lady that arranges the subs and roll back over and go to sleep. Although I have not improved all day, so I might call tonight.

 

[Gabe1]

@Gabe1 , I figure you're back home now, right? You must miss WDW, but you were lucky to fit in a recent trip. You're probably busy now trying to get caught up on everything--are you done with your Christmas preparations? What's for Christmas dinner? (My mind always goes to food! )

Hi! Sadly, yes I am back, back since Wednesday. And not happy about that at all. Life hit a yahoo and a oh no the day before we left town. Upon return life has been in a major tailspin with a good outcome but getting to that outcome made us feel we deserve a vacation.
More later...

Poor you.

I'm reading you took the hubs to work....I'm sure it is buried back in all those days I missed but what happened at his Doc appointment?

Other chit chatters may want to skip ahead this is a recap update for @Gabe1 about my inlaws.

Yeah it's buried back there....long story short. The ankle is healing on schedule but not on Brad's schedule. So he can only put 25% weight down and is working his way each week up to 100% so on Tuesday he can start with 50%. No driving still. Dr said that if he took the boot off to drive and got into an accident, even if it wasn't hub's fault because he isn't medically able to drive he would be 100% liable. Not something we are going to risk.

So no Chicago this year. When hubs finalized the news to his family. The one brother-in-law (the one who always becomes the spokesperson when his wife is mad) sent many texts trying to convince hubs to talk me into driving and then he was trying to find us flights. He even told hubs that if we flew we wouldn't have to stay in a hotel and we could have one of the full sized beds upstairs. Hello, hubs has trouble going up stairs and the stairs to their bedrooms are very steep and slippery (I've almost fallen a couple times).

Hubs finally just said it didn't work and we would not be down. Since then it has been silence from his sisters and the brothers-in-law. The eldest niece even got into a pretty bad accident (she was able to walk away without injury to herself) and after hubs and I both saw the post on Facebook we expressed relief that she was okay. Hubs even texted his sister and the niece. Only the niece sent responses and had a conversation with Brad. So they are going to be holding a grudge and be petty about it. Their problem I guess. I'm sure they will bring it up the next time we see them, and I may or may not hold back my thoughts.

Sorry you had some curveballs but I hope you had a great vacation, it is always sad upon returning from vacation.

 

[Gabe1]

If a company hired me tomorrow, I would be on the next flight out. Of course, I would only go to certain countries.

I get the certain countries. My Sis left yesterday to vacation in Vietnam, Cambodia and few other neighboring countries. Me, mouth open and the desire to say But Why? Granted my memories and knowledge of those countries are from my childhood, maybe it is now the mecca for tourism now???

That is a good point. Sometimes those thris parties can take a month to deliver especially if it comes from Asia.

Well I am glad the Hubs ankle is starting to heal and they are letting him put a bit of weight on it. I get the disappointment on Hubs part, we all always just want to get better. Seems like sound logic you too had in deciding to stick close to home. I am also the only distance driver in our family for a very long time so I appreciate Chicagoland not being in your comfort range. Those toll ways around their and their fly overs are intimidating add snow or ice and they can be ugly.

Family. I have no words. None. It is like a good chunk of my inlaw family, not all but a big chunk. Long ago stopped trying to comprehend.
I'm happy your niece is OK though. So scary.

*pixie dust* and enjoy your At Home Christmas.

Welcome back. I’m sorry.
Vacatiion in Vietnam and Cambodia. Yes I find it odd too. I never saw the movie The Killing Fields,but that is what I think of when a place like Cambodia comes up. Like you said though, it is decades later. Hey, maybe it is the hip new place.

I would have to agree with that. I had an all expense paid trip to Vietnam for a years vacation. I've talked with many veterans that do go back, I do not have any desire to ever go there again even if they paid me thousands of dollars to do so. I'm just barely starting to get the feeling out of my brain, no need to renew old memories.

Sounds like how my maternal grandmother was (she died when I was in high school). Whenever she got mad or someone did something that inconvenienced her, she stopped speaking to that person. I can completely have seen her doing that to one of her sisters. She had the wrong idea in life that she always had to be mad at someone to be happy. And she was always mad at someone throughout her life.

Of course, she eventually did it to my mother, and as a result, never bothered to get to know me or my brother. It's sad when people are like that. It ruins relationships.

Hopefully you'll work it out. Nice to see your niece isn't being that way.
