Morning!

Guess I need to spend time today doing all the things I didn't get done yesterday.

Hope you have a great day Sean!

I did too much yesterday, paying for it today! You wouldn't think sitting on your butt for 3 hours mowing would affect my hip....but I have found out differently. back to crutches.

Have a good day too Debby!

P.S. What kind of pineapple do you want? Fresh? Canned? Rings? Chunks? Crushed? Heavy syrup? Light syrup?

If I'm shopping for you, I need the nitty gritty

All that bouncing around on a lawn tractor can be very painful! I hear it from DH quite often with all the time he spends on the big ones.

You take care of yourself!

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?

Seems there's alot of the millennials having there version of a mental breakdown this weekend. If they think they are the future...the future is in trouble. Oh how I yurn for the days of old, when young folks had respect for their elders. That's all I have to say about that.
Hoping you have a better day today, Blooie!

Gotta agree with you on concern for the future. I know my parents used to say the same thing when I was a kid but we still knew to be polite.

I don't do Facebook because of all the reasons you listed Blooie. It's like high school on steroids. Don't blame you for the irritation with your GS either but I'm over my kids pity parties right now myself so...

I hope today is a better day for you!

Have a good day too Debby!

How many times have we all told you to quit thinking you can do more than you can do yet?? Goofball! Next time break it up - do an hour one day, skip a day, do the other half. That grass ain’t gonna change that much in a day, like your as.....um, hip can!

Come here @Blooie you need a big ol hug

I’ll take it! And thanks! Didn’t start out whining, but my fingers just kept going!

P.S. What kind of pineapple do you want? Fresh? Canned? Rings? Chunks? Crushed? Heavy syrup? Light syrup?

If I'm shopping for you, I need the nitty gritty

Oops, forgot. I need a 20 ounce can of Dole pineapple tidbits, in their juice. Thanks!

I am, Sean, thanks. But I can think my problems away....you’ve got some real healing to do! So get busy, darn it!
