The OSUT #223 looking towards fall

[DoggyDaddy]

I never tried that I didn't want to experience my fathers wrath.

Same here. That's where I first heard the expression "**** a lot of that!" It was the only time I heard Dad use the "F" word. I didn't make that mistake again.

Evening folks
DD you have a lot to consider with this situation. Putting the kids into the system is the last thing I would consider.

Hello rkw2.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Howdy rk. And I know. But "the system" would be an improvement over what they're living in now. Hey, are you in the market for a litter of kids by any chance? One, oops Two (different dads, one egg doner) owner, low mileage!

Now this, is both funny and NOT.

Agreed. That's the exact thought I had as soon as I hit Post.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

There's really not anything funny about this situation, but sometimes gallows humor is the only way to make it through.

I'm just tired of all the hot, and I mean HOT, weather. My garage a/k/a Man Cave was so hot I could not even use it this summer. A lot of projects have been delayed; not to mention a few firearm restorations i have underway. I've been thinking of one of those portable a/c - heat pumps for the garage. Anyone have any experience with them?

 

[DoggyDaddy]

And man, do I feel like a Debby Downer here! Didn't mean to. Just needed to vent a little I reckon.

I don't have an outdoor man cave. No experience with a portable AC. I do, however, dress really cool. Hope this helps.

That's the guilt trip society unloads/passes around. I say f that. You bring it up that I don't take it on, you grab it and run, better then me!

Hello bgcatty.

 

[foszoe]

Sorry to hear that about your wife foszoe! But yes, similar situation. DoggyMama has fibromyalgia and neuropathy in her feet and legs and will sometimes just fall down when she's trying to do yard work or even just walking.

She's been through so much... the loss of her younger daughter to drugs, then a severely broken ankle which took months and multiple surgeries to heal, then esophageal cancer and the attendant difficulties with that. I should be an honorary CNA after tending to her through all of that.

She had always been such a hard worker... always in 10th gear. Now she can't do those things and it makes her crazy and of course shifts the burden to me (which is a mantle that I gladly accept).

I'm just not sure I'm up for raising kids. I chose not to have kids for a reason. I love the grandkids though.

Nom fights with neuropathy. She is having a second toe partially amputated Friday

I know exactly what you mean.

Good Evening Folks

Evenin' walleye.

And G'night walleye and all the rest of y'all. Time for me to hit the hay. Talked to DoggyMama just now and she's getting worn out. She got the third grandchild (2 year old) today. Her daughter is on her way to spend the day with her and the kids.

HAGN all!
