What irritates you?

you know what times have changed and you may have to ask him overe the phone if his daughter isnt that inportint!! to him!!Or maybe he wasnt saying no to lunch HE was saying no to you marrying HER!!!!! LOL :eek: :eek: :eek: :worried: :worried: :pbpt:

hope she says yes, even if he don't.

Personnaly I never would have asked if I didn't already know the answer.

I never did ask him.

Ask her and then the two of you ask for his blessing.

And congratulations on finding that one special person!

(makes me feel a lot better)

having a couple of cocktails and some fast food this weekend, and the scale being UP at work today.

sigh

~ the girl who will be eatting leaves and twigs until the end of bikini season.

Anyone want to test drive cars for the day and get paid for it? Wednesday and Thursday shifts...10-4 during the day...

Taking two giant steps backwards and no steps forward.

Joe

:frown:

so...

my dad is evidentlly going to be coming home sometime this week...

he's refusing to go to this really nice care facility thing that they pretty much have a room waiting for him, at....

and instead wants to come home, where a nurse's aide will have to live with him (and me) 24 hours a day...

myself, and my sister (and my uncle, if we're lucky), are then required to provide said person with food to eat, food to cook for my dad, and a place to sleep....

I havent even gotten paid yet from this new job, and now i'm supposed to provide things for some jackoff that I cant even provide for myself???

I dont want somebody who I dont even know, living in this house, sleeping on my couch, and eating my food....

especially for the 9 hours that I work during the day...

call me selfish, I gives no f**ks....

It sounds like my sister and my uncle have been making a shitload of decisions without my knowledge simply because "i'm not there when they need to be made"... which happens to be when i'm at work - where I cant leave, during the day - for the next 8-9 weeks of training....

my dad isnt saying anything to anybody other than the fact that he doesnt know anything, and doesnt want to know anything.... and sure as hell doesnt want to go to a care home place...

I brought up the fact about somebody living here, eating our food, etc... 'round the clock, to him as well, and he doesnt like it, almost as much as me....

but at the same time, he says "whatever, I dont care, what happens, deal with it"

I wish I was f'n able to....

there is no way/how that he should be coming back to this house, right now.

Nick - just remember a facility is about 3k a month that insurance doesn't cover...

so home heath aides are certainly a more financially sound way to go.

again, hospice is a good resource for finding nurses etc.

he's under the impression that when he comes home, he's going to get the same kind of treatment that he's been receiving at the hospital too...

I dunno...

I think they should allow him to stay there a while longer, since he has said that he would like to do that...

.......

"no, you cant die here, go home and do it"

thats pretty much the response that I'm seeing....

"and make sure somebody pays us our money"

"no, you cant die here, go home and do it"

thats pretty much the response that I'm seeing....

"and make sure somebody pays us our money"

Boy do I know that scenario all too well :eyeroll: :eyeroll: :angry: :frown:

too bad he won't at least go and look at the place - he might just see the advantages of being there - and if they are already pretty much holding a bed, its obvious that they think that would be a good thing for him to go there.

just my two cents worth, though.

i'm sorry you are on the receiving end of all this shit.

dude not to make lite of it but if the nurse chick is hot hook a brother up I mite be able to work off haveing to pay her!! for traded services!! lol I like naughty nurses! hehehe lol!!!!! but know I have a friend who dose home nursing I will talk to her about the costs it sucks brother like I said anything I can do to help let me know!!!!!!!!!

Having a rough night to cap off a rough day :frown: :frown:

having a cocktail to alleviate the pain from my lifting class at the gym

having it be 90 freakin degrees IN my house at 10 pm

sitting here in a pool of sweat.

... and no I don't have a/c - I live in an area where (typically) we don't need it. We have like maybe 10 days a year like this, but 2, back to back days of it, is yucky.

I guess he changed his mind, and wants to go to the care facility now...

I went up there last night, and talked to him about everything.... and he still seemed adament about going home instead...

by the time I got back here, there was a message on our voice-mail from my sister, saying that my dad had evidentlly changed his mind, and told my uncle that he now wants to go to this place instead....

Its a brand-new facility, where he would get far better care than he ever would at home.... my sister checked it out, and says that it looks really nice...

If somebody was able to talk some sense into him, i'm glad it could be me...

ooooh nick :frown:

I'm thinking of you & your dad

and vino? suck it up chick! you're gonna end up with a hotter bod in the end!!! :wink: I can feel your hard abs from here everytime you post :sheepish:

I get to go to the bank today and tell the guy to take a hike on the loan we signed last Thursday - today is the 3 day renig. - long story - wow.

good luck....

Saturday is considered a business day (in most states) (i'm not sure about minnesota)

hah. funny.

the good news, is that I can move my arms today, with minimal soreness - so I"m hitting the gym tonight.

Toned abs... I wish... those will be the last to step up to the plate.

Ramsey county courts screwing up and sending the summons for court to the wrong adress. Now I only have 1 defendant instead of 2. I could give them the right adress but I'm worried that they wont accept another certified letter and then I would have nobody as a defendant in my car accident claim. At least the one that did get it is the owner. Pretty sad that all you have to do to get away with not going to court is to have a fake adress on your license. . :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

went to 3 banks to cross reference -

got to my bank and made him make 4 changes or we wern't doing it. Including lenght of the loan, no annual hidden $50 fee - no lock in $50 hidden fees and fixing the bottom rate.

Of all 3 banks I checked we got the best deal for now. no closing cost - free appraisal on the house - no yearly fees. .77 below prime at all times. Even if the other banks offered a lower rate at first -they raise it to prime somehow. so all is good today. we'll see if I feel scammed tomorrow - I always feel scammed.

are you talking home loan??

whats your interest? I'm looking at re-fing and I'm looking at 6%.

paying $6.99 a pound for organic cherries.

a little spendy, but man are they yummy.

None the less, a bag was a little under $15. I have to ration them out for 4 days - or I'll make myself sick - cause I could just sit here and eat the whole lot.

Those sound good....

On another note, being berated by some tech support people. I'm not and idiot! I just need to fix the crappy install of your crappy software.

they are good K.C.

New irritation, not being able to control myself and eating more than i should...

My stomach is going to be killing me later.

a second? you mean like an equity line? I don't know what that is.

you got it

ahhh.

I'm in the market for one of those for my 2nd house.

Lovin the tagline L4V :smile:

Having the worst feeling that I've ever had about something. :worried: :frown:

CM - anything that any of us can help with? Need to talk? We're here for you if you need or want anything.

today sucked ass...

found out on my lunch hour that my dad had changed his mind again and wanted to come home, and do chemotherapy....

I guess my uncle and some doctors and even a priest were at the hospital today, trying to talk to him... the doctors are pretty sure that chemo is not even an option, since he's too far past that point already...

he's still convinced that he can get better... so he still half wants it...

but by this evening had changed his mind once again, and now wants the care facility again....

only pretty much needs reassuring from everyone involved, that this is the best choice... which pretty much is....

he's told me a couple of times now, that i'm one of the only people he trusts..... and tonight said that he'll "try" it.....

:chagrin:

I dunno...

<crosses fingers>

I hope he doesnt change his mind again, by the time most people have read this post.

Whats up bro?

Thanks TV and Nick. I'll know more in 10 minutes. I'm about as numb as one can get. I'm hoping I'm overreacting because I'm over-stressed and sleep deprived. Unfortunately, I don't think I am. :frown:

I feel for you on your dad Nick. It sounds like it might be a rough road ahead.

cm brother if you needto talk you got my number I am up all night and if you need to talk at any TIME!!!!! eavn if I am sleeping anyone can call at anytime!!!!!!!!!

Thanks man!

As some of you already know, my wife has been in the hospital for over 3 months now. It's been a huge roller coaster ride. She's in a pretty big dip right now. They had to bring her down for an emergency MRI and EEG. It was delayed so they could give her something to calm her down. She must be so scared. I'm totally numb right now. I haven't had much sleep at all through all this but especially not in the last week. I'm a wreck right now. I just called and she's still down doing the MRI. Waiting for this call is killing me inside. I feel so helpless. Every minute longer makes me feel as if something bad is going on. I'm trying super hard to think positive but it fades fast. Those of you who did know about my situation have been super supportive and I appreciate every single word or gesture. I didn't really want to say anything because it's hard talking about it. But now I feel like I've lost all strength. :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown:

I AM SO SORRY CLUE!!! I WISH THERE WAS something I could do none of my problems pale in compare and I am sorry for complaining about my petty stuff I didnt know that you where going thru this!! anything I can do for anyone letme know!!!!!!!!! I will drop all for a friend!! agin I am sorry!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear that CM. I hope things get better for her (and you in the process).

I really appreciate the sentiment guys. I just talked with her nurse and my wife is so agitated that they couldn't do the MRI even after they gave her the Adivan to try and calm her down. The nurse even said that she was worried and was calling her doctor right now to see if they can get some labs pulled right away to see if anything is really messed up with her numbers. I'm freaking right now. I might need to have my brother come over or something to stay here with my daughter so I can go to the hospital tonight. :frown:

And problems are problems guy. They're all relative for where you are at the time of the problem. Nobody's problems are any less important than someone elses. I just know that there are many people out there covering theirs up and painting on a happy face. I was one of them until tonight.

I gotta go puke now

oh sweetie. i wish i was there. i.d offer to watch the kiddo.

hope everything works out for the best. ill keep ya in my thoughts and prayers.

sometimes u just need to spit something out to make it tangible. once others know it sorta forces ur hand to deal with them.

Thanks Vino. Good advice. Both my brothers offered up to come sit with the kid. But I think I might stay put and just call in to work tomorrow instead. I asked the nurse if I should come down - obviously a lead-in question on the severity of her condition - and she said that it was up to me and that she could still update me all night if needed. She did say she was very worried about her though. So, I'm not sure what to do. I might just take a melatonin and see if it kicks in.

I'm sorry to hear about things CM. My one piece of advice is to make sure that you are taking care of yourself. Take time for yourself to help get yourself to a better place and feel better, whether it be talking to someone, taking a walk, getting a massage, rocking out to lose stress, etc. I know you want to be there for your wife and daughter, and by taking care of yourself in little ways, it'll help you be better able to help them I think.

CM - You are in a tough situation. If there was a way to take this from you, we would all do it in a nano second.

Try to take care of yourself. Call if you need anything.

We keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Thanks TMK. I know I should take care of myself but it's easier said than done. I'll force myself. I have it in my head that if things are the same or better come tomorrow, I'll enjoy taking my boss to the Twins game we have planned. Small milestones. I'm heading down to the hosp now. Thanks for your advice too. I think last Sunday's concert was a nice break for my mind.

I know you guys are there TV. You're the best!

:frown: :frown: :frown: :frown:

sitting by the bonfire last night I could feel a calm before some storm ... :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown:

you'll both be in my thoughts and prayers all day Brad

Brad, hang in there bud. Know your in our thoughts and prayers.

CM, so sorry to hear all that you and your family are going through. Thoughts and prayers going out to you and yours.
