Morning, all! DMC, hope all goes well at the dentist and you can avoid the headache! Debby, while you’re at the store could you pick me up some pineapple? I’ll pay ya when I see ya. Thanks.

Now that it’s over, I can say this: I am so darned glad Mother”s Day is over!! Don’t misunderstand - I am so grateful for my family and I love them all dearly. I got some beautiful cards, flowers, and Ken made a great steak dinner for me. Jamie called, Kendra decided my new name is Grandmamother......silly baby.....Evan gave me one of those hugs only gangly 14 year old boys can give (one arm, with a kind of I’m-grown-up-for-this grin), and Katie wrote me a sweet poem. So it isn’t like I sat around feeling unappreciated. Not at all.

It’s just that under all that was trouble. Jamie and Rachel are in the middle of an ugly divorce, and he feels like I have to share every moment of his pity party and hear every detail of how miserable he is. I dunno, maybe it’s me. I’m supposed to be a good listener for the kids and grands, but on Mother’s Day I would think he could have just said “Happy Mother’s Day, Gramma. I love you and I’ll call you later in the week to let you know how it’s going around here.” The end.

Little Diane didn’t call or even text at all. She’s the epitome of why people hate Facebook....her posts are absolutely nothing but either selfies or mean political rants. And I mean selfies.....10 -12 of them in one day are not uncommon, all using those goofy filters to enhance or put doggie ears on herself, and “I just love how I did my eyeliner this morning” or “How did I get so cute?” followed by dozens of empty but gushing compliments from “friends” she doesn’t even know! Couldn’t take it anymore. I don’t know how she is, what her and Pete are up to, how the business is going. But by golly if I want to know how she feels about herself, her new purple and blue hair, or how she and she alone knows how the world should change to accommodate her warped sense of history, (did you know that we attacked poor defenseless Japan because we wanted their technology and nuclear power secrets?), and if I want to see the “F” word used as nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, and stand alone sentences, then I’m all set. I need her in my life - I don’t need all that trash. So I sent her a little note, gently reminded her that Katie and Evan like to see the fam on my FB pages and they don’t need to see that or think I approve of public gutter talk, so I was blocking her from my FB but never out of my life. Got a one sentence reply - “We are the future of this country and if you don’t like it, too bad.” Not a peep since, and it’s been 5 weeks. She doesn’t even answer when I’ve called.

Ken is behind on his Grand York Rite secretary bookwork because of all the Grand Master traveling, so from almost the time he got up until he started making dinner his nose was in his computer. I dunno, it was just a very depressing day all around, and I let myself get sucked down. I’m better today, and I’ll be even better tomorrow. But I’m glad it’s over!

Now, anything else I can do to cheer you all up?

You have done great at cheering me up, makes me comeback to reality. No matter how bad a day I'm having, someone else is having a worse day! Hope your having a better day today, Blooie

Here you go @Blooie

I couldn't fit it in an envelope, so will this do?

 

[ShrekDawg]

Okay, I’ll just say it lol I straightened my hair

 

[casportpony]

[N F C]

Love this!

Thanks! I got it with a five finger discount (that means I stole it, probably from @Bamabexchicks )

It's a good one!

 

[N F C]

It's a good one!

It is!

I'm just wondering if I'll ever get a chance to use it the way our weather has been so far. We had snow last week for crying out loud.

Stick around, I'll be whining about the heat in a couple months

I’m off to the dentist, cleaning and new wires I believe. I’ll have a headache when I leave

Of all that I don't remember of my much younger days, that comment brought back one memory. Yep every time they cranked the wires, I had a headache. I hope yours doesn't last too long!

I don’t know how she is, what her and Pete are up to, how the business is going.

This is the first I've heard of this Pete person. She used to (best of my knowledge) been devoted to you. I hope this Pete person isn't the type that controls.

(did you know that we attacked poor defenseless Japan because we wanted their technology and nuclear power secrets?)

That girl needs to read up on her WWII history A LOT.

She doesn’t even answer when I’ve called.

Now, anything else I can do to cheer you all up?

Nope but I think you need a few more

You wouldn't think sitting on your butt for 3 hours mowing would affect my hip....but I have found out differently.

*I* would think so!! Maybe you have REALLY FLAT land, mowing my lawn on the rider is a whole body workout.
