The Coffee House

[limr31]

But where did the gnomes comment come from? Am I missing something?

Excuse my co-worker here, folks. It seems that the stress of working five or six different jobs has taken it's toll and she has gotten a little forgetful of the origins of The Coffee House, found in post #1.

Oh.

What, I am supposed to remember 4,100 posts, 275 pages, and 3 months ago??? What the hell, I can't do magic or anything!!

A player named Rodrigues (sp?) got the assist on the gamewinner. Hmm, very interesting... a TPF psychic connection??

Yep, the first sign of old age it memory loss. Or was it hearing loss? I don't remember now. Oh well, time for me to take my Geritol. Limr, you want some in your coffee?

As for miso... it's kinda funny, but I'm quite deaf and hearing annoying noises is not one of my life's complaints. However, my wife's hearing is perfect as she can hear me thinking two rooms away. Fortunately, I have not been smothered in my sleep, given the number of noises a human body can make especially when sleeping, and her saintly tolerance of all my idiosyncrasies.

I have miso. AND significant hearing loss. It's truly what keeps me from probably going postal on someone due to the miso.

Completely off-topic (not that there is ever quite a "topic" in the Coffee House!"), but your comment about your wife for some reasons reminded me of a little story.

During the last several months of his life, my dad broke his hip and had to be hospitalized. Because of 1) his dementia and 2) his obstinance, someone had to be in the room with him 24/7 to keep them from "restraining" him, because he would CONSTANTLY pick at his IV and try to pull it out, or try to get up out of bed (usually because, if you asked him, it was "time to go home.").
So, we took turns and whoever's turn it was to spend the night could look forward to pretty much NOT sleeping.

I went in one morning to start my "shift," after my sister had stayed the night with him. I asked her how it had gone and she said:

"You see all those pillows? (there were about SIX pillows all piled up on the couch from where we kept getting nurses to bring us more) The ONLY reason we made it through the night is because I kept staring at those pillows, but I couldn't decide whether to smother HIM or ME."

I would looooove to be hard-of-hearing. I rarely admit this out loud because 9 times out of 10, this is met with, "Oh, you don't mean that!" First of all, don't ever tell me what I do or do not mean. Second of all, you have no idea how much easier my life would be if my hearing were worse. I don't need to be completely deaf - just enough that I can hear with a hearing aid...and then be able to turn that jamming thing off when I don't want to hear anymore!

Sharon, when my father was in the hospital for his last hip replacement, he got all loopy from the anesthesia because it aggravated the dementia he was already experiencing. He too got antsy and irritated and just wanted out of there. He actually ripped out his own catheter at one point. It was the beginning of a bad time, but we still think of that and we have to laugh. It was just so typical of him - this man was not one to mess around!

Well, if his name is Rodrigues, then it's possible. If it is Rodriguez, then probably not

Actually no. It's my new iMac and Safari. Apparently it doesn't like Limr and it changed it to Liar. I rest my case:

I took Mary Lou into the hospital for a check-up on her foot. A change of bandages and so far so good. We celebrated with dinner at Mexico 1900. I had tamales ... love tamales. Came home, got Mary Lou foot above her heart and took off to the market. I was low on my activity tracker, so I walked. I am about to embark on making bread ... old school ... all natural ... no added yeast. I'm going to get the starter going tonight.

I try to write my posts with pen & ink (or crayons) but the paper keeps clogging up the vent slots in the router & the bugger overheats.

Goal with a minute and a half left, thank - you! Been watching hockey for like 6+ hours, thought this was headed to another OT.

Duck boats in the streets of Boston?? maybe I should watch NESN more often. or, maybe not.
