Mushrooms! Sauteed, stuffed, in stuffing, in risotto, stews, soups...

 

A friend tried to talk me into going mushroom hunting with her as they are cropping up everywhere around here this year. I refused. I know just enough about mushrooms to know I don't know enough about mushrooms and will do my hunting at the green grocer!

I'll still take a pass on the 'shrooms. At least those I can pick out of food. Unlike peppers which are definitely a hard NO for me. I've never liked them and they leave behind their taste, so I always pass on anything that has them. Jalapeños? Jal-yes please! Green peppers..nope. Those of you who love them...you can have my share!

SP and I drove up this morning & spoke w. my brother (who - shocker - actually acknowledged SP's existence  at the end of the morning).

They were planning on lowering her body temp [I don't remember why], but she made some "purposeful movements" so they just gave her some mild sedation.

Her drug panel came back clean, so she didn't accidentally double up on her meds -- also good.

At the moment, it's really a waiting game for the next 24 to 48 hours. Until she wakes up we really won't know what -- if any -- affects there have been on her cognitive abilities.

I'm sure you are relieved with the positive results. Make sure you and SP take care of yourselves and each other. I'll be sending hopeful thoughts your way.

Don't beat yourself up rick. It's not foolish to want to help someone. If anything this person was a fool to try to take advantage of your good hearted nature and generosity. You paid a small price to discover their true colors.

Awww. I am so sorry you had to go through that. Recently been through a thing with someone i've known for years not to do with money, but these things hurt. You care for people, support them and sometimes that's not enough for them.

Sometimes our heart gets in the way of our heads. This could have just as easily gone the other way, with the person being honest and paying you back and not feeling entitled. You're a good person rick. Caring and thoughtful. You are only that, never a fool.

Let it go, this is not worth the weight to carry around.  xoxo

I'm sorry that happened to you.  You seem to have good rules in place about lending and paying back. It is that person who has lost by trying to take advantage of you. People get nasty when they are wrong or they are trying to continue the con.  Please don't let that shut you off from the world and stop you from trying to help someone else. You never know when that one small act of kindness can change another person's life forever.  

thanks guys, it means a lot to me. took some time this afternoon. it’s a wonderful feeling to mediate and then in the silence you tell yourself “you did your best” that is all you can do. 

thanks

All you can do is do your best, and know you did a good thing trying to help someone. It’s on him that he couldn’t, or wouldn’t, see kindness and compassion being directed his way. 

Hold your head up high, rick. You did good, my friend.

Excuse me Good Sirs and DiC friends.

just wanted to stop in and say Good Morning.

This is for all of us - 

Life is a circle of happiness, sadness, hard times, and good times. If you are going through hard times have faith that good times are on the way.

Spent time meditating and letting go of a lot of things i was struggling with. woke up feeling much better. 

So how is your day?

thanks for the giggle!

i so desperately wanted it to be Friday, i even asked Phil when He got out of the shower what day it was 

[kbois]

I hope everyone is doing ok today. I'm flying solo until tomorrow both at home and at work. Covering our other property while the manager takes a long weekend. 

Hubby is in Orlando for work training. He left last night so it's just me, son #2 and the doggos until tomorrow night. 

Why is it that a king size bed shrinks when a 20 pound mutt takes over the empty side? Little dog takes up more room than my husband. 🤔

Hang in there @mollyhousemouse. Friday is right around the corner!
