SIDEBAR #16- Arias/Alexander forum

[daisymae]

I am enjoying seeing my mother and sister. It is very peaceful here, almost serene. My mother's house is lovely, with a beautiful patio garden. I had not seen this home as she moved here 4 years ago. My sister is diminished capacity and has some health issues. I guess I trust my eyes to assess what all is going on more than the snippets I am told. And yes, my mom is waiting on me. I want to stay forever! :seeya:

Stay as long as you can! Hubby will get along while you're away.

I called him He has some of my stuff (clothes and a necklace). I'm ashamed to say that I'm using that as an excuse to stay in touch with him. I really need to just go over there, get my belongings, and call it quits.

I have been there, done that and all it did was postpone my moving on. I remember it well. 20/20 hindsight is a wonderful thing. Your vision will improve from your rear view mirror :seeya:

BBM It'll come, M, when you're ready to accept that it's probably really over- IMO and my :twocents:

Daisy, my fun flower, I thought of you as I watered the daisies on my mom's patio. Very cheerful, just like you. :seeya:

Awww that is so sweet. I do love daisies among many other flowers. One of my favorites are scarlet hibiscus, which were here when I bought the house, so I divided them and have a whole wall of them! They bloom from spring all the way to fall. The blooms last only one day but the bushes are always loaded with buds.

I just googled them. I know they sell hibiscus in Delaware as a patio plant. So many things grow in the South that don't grow in the Mid Atlantic. I love gardenias and wish I had bushes of them. I don't know if they tolerate my zone. Peonies are another favorite. Do they grow where you are?

M, where did you go?

Not sure about peonies, bur gardenias and magnolias grow proficiently here. You see magnolias all over in the woods, and it's illegal to dig them up and take them home. Gardenias I have grown, too.

Changed my avatar to the scarlet hibiscus from last year, not as full as this year. I love them!

There are probably thousands of hibiscus varieties, and many are annuals. Mine keep coming back yearly. I've had the potted varieties before. The leaves on my variety look just like a pot plant, and if the police ever came here I'd be questioned why my pot plants have red flowers. LOL

A good idea M. You can get closure and charge ahead. Chin up and move forward. Life is waiting for you.

Thanks daisy.
Hallmark has Frasier on Sunday night- all night.
I'm watching Ray Donovan on Showtime, cutting my nails, and letting The Queen out for her last pit stop for the night :scared: (multi-tasking :floorlaugh
Then Dexter will be on at 12:00 - Sunday is a veryyyyyyyyy busy TV night between Drop Dead Diva, Ray Donovan, and Dexter :floorlaugh:.

Those are also hibiscus but a different variety than mine. The blooms are very similar.

little old lady gets onto a crowded bus...
A little old lady gets onto a crowded bus and stands in front of a seated young girl. Holding her hand to her chest, she says to the girl, "If you knew what I have, you would give me your seat." The girl gets up and gives up her the seat to the old lady. It is hot. The girl then takes out a fan and starts fanning herself. The woman looks up and says, "If you knew what I have, you would give me that fan." The girl gives her the fan, too. Fifteen minutes later the woman gets up and says to the bus driver, "Stop, I want to get off here." The bus driver tells her he has to drop her at the next corner, not in the middle of the block. With her hand across her chest, she tells the driver, "If you knew what I have, you would let me off the bus right here." The bus driver pulls over and opens the door to let her out. As she's walking out of the bus, he asks, "Madam, what is it you have? The old woman looks at him and nonchalantly replies, "Chutzpah."

There was an old married couple that had happily...
There was an old married couple that had happily lived together for nearly forty years. The only friction in their marriage was caused by the husband's habit of breaking wind nearly every morning as he awoke. The noise would always wake up his wife and the smell would cause her eyes to water as she would choke and gasp for air. Nearly every morning she would plead with him to stop ripping one in the morning. He told her that the couldn't help it. She begged him to see a doctor to see if anything could be done but the husband wouldn't hear of it. He told her that it was just a natural bodily function and then he would laugh in her face as she tried to wave the fumes away with her hands. She told him that there was nothing natural about it and if he didn't stop, he was one day going to "fart his guts out".
The years went by and the wife continued to suffer and the husband continued to ignore her warnings about "farting his guts out" until one Christmas morning. Before dawn, the wife went downstairs to prepare the family feast. She fixed Christmas pudding, mashed potatoes, gravy and, of course, a turkey. While she was taking out the turkey's innards, a thought occurred to the wife as to how she might solve her husband's problem. With a devilish grin on her face, she placed the turkey guts into a bowl and quietly walked upstairs hours before her flatulent husband would awake. While he was still soundly asleep, she pulled back the covers and then gently pulled back her husband's jockey shorts. She then placed all of the turkey guts into her husband's underwear, pulled them up, replaced the covers and tiptoed back downstairs to finish preparing the family meal.
Several hours later she heard her husband awake with his normal loud a$$ trumpeting. This was soon followed by a blood curdling scream and the sound of frantic footsteps as her husband ran to the upstairs bathroom. The wife could not control herself and her eyes began to tear up as she rolled on the floor laughing. After years of putting up with him she had finally gotten even. About twenty minutes later, her husband came downstairs in his blood stained underpants with a look of horror in his eyes. She bit her lip to keep from laughing and she asked him what was the matter. He said, "honey, you were right - all those years you warned me and I didn't listen to you". "What do you mean?" asked his wife. "Well you always told me that I would end up farting my guts out one of these days and today it finally happened. But by the grace of God and these two fingers, I think I got 'em all back in."


Seventy year old George went for his annual physical...Seventy year old George went for his annual physical. All of his tests came back with great results. Dr. Smith said, "George everything looks great physically. How are you doing mentally, emotionally and are you at peace with your self and have a good relationship with God? George replied, "God and me are tight. We are so close that when I get up in the middle of the night, poof!...the light goes on and I go to the bathroom and then poof! the light goes off! ""Wow," commented Dr. Smith, 'That's incredible! A little later in the day Dr. Smith called George's wife. "Thelma," he said, "George is just fine. Physically he's great. But I had to call you because I'm in awe of his relationship with God. Is it true that he gets up during the night and poof! The light goes on in the bathroom and then poof! The light goes off? Thelma replied, "Oh God! He's peeing in the fridge again!"

Where'd everyone go?

Where'd everyone go?

just back from shower and I feel so poorly. This happens to me sometimes when I push myself too hard, in the heat, mowing grass and stuff. Missing my mom always when I don't feel good.

I have to go to bed.....work tomorrow. Have a good night everyone. I'm going to bed listening to the sound of thunderstorms in the distance. So soothing. :seeya:
