  1. He did have a jeep .. but He sold it because of his chronic dizziness. He doesn't drive anymore. Not for a couple of years now. But yeah, some vehicles are hard for Him to sit in comfortably. You have to look up a lot, watch for low branches and stuff ... and the door closing things like on store doors have caught Him in the head more than once. Clothes are not easy to buy up here .. and for some reason, pre-shrunk is a foreign idea. He's ordered clothes from USA which have been better as they seem to understand who they are dealing with. Short ladies in the grocery store often say, "Can i borrow him? There's something on the top shelf.." It's sweet.. .they usually come up to his waist. lol
  2. People often think tall is better ... you should ask Michael about that. He's got some stories and always says you do not want to be this tall. Mind you, old ladies in the grocery store do appreciate Him.
  3. Day off today ... it's cool and cloudy .. the poster below sounds great. i'm not good at sleeping in or laying in bed.. i'm one of those "i'm awake now, get up" people. Sadly, my motivation often drops as soon as. LOL Have a good Monday.
  4. Just sounds scary to me... i'm just glad you're okay.

    You have passion and a good imagination. Both are needed to tell a good tale. i've been struggling with writing and what you've said is helpful. Thank you for sharing what your work means to you. I'm glad you're still out there, writing. I hope you're here for a long long time. You look after yourself. i will be around.
  6. Geez.. i'm glad everyone is okay. Sorry about your weekend. The residents are lucky to have you. Take care.

    Interesting story so far. And a nice cliff hanger.
  8. oh.. that's nuthin.. it's got like 24 different colours in it. It's just a lap blanket.. i'll take a pic when it's all done. i have 6 more colours to add.
  9. The kindness of others never ceases to amaze me and reinforce my faith in people: https://bnbealone.com/?utm_source=vancouver is awesome&utm_campaign=vancouver is awesome%3A outbound&utm_medium=referral
  10. i got some new fidget/anti anxiety toys to add to my things to do when i'm anxious... i can knit but it can be a bit much if i'm in a meeting... .
  11. i save a lot of stuff for later.. then forget about them usually. YouTube is okay, not a real fav for me. Luckily, i dont use social media, tic toc etc. at all. That would be a bad thing for me, i think. i am allowed Prime and the Toronto Star newspaper online and YouTube if i choose. That's enough to be going on with.
  12. Once upon a time, we had a long chat about poached eggs. That may have happened in the first Drop in Centre. maybe. Anyway... i just saw this. i've not tried it, but i will .. cuz while i can make poached eggs, these look amazing. Here it is.. as they say in this.. how to kick poached egg butt:

    The End

    ************* WARNING... thoughts about death and dying. ************** To be honest, the thought of dying was terrifying to me. i thought about it all the time. First thought in the morning and the last at night. For years. Today, maybe i'm more accepting that, frankly, there is no damn choice in the matter. Now maybe how i die is what i dwell on. If given a choice, i'd rather just go to sleep and not wake up. That's why surgery really doesn't scare me. If i die there, i'll never know about it. Lingering scares me. i watched my mum die a slow death when i was a kid. She was brave but in pain and it was horrible to see her suffer and leave me more and more each day. I don't want to die that way. I know she didn't either. Leaving people behind scares me too. i don't want them to hurt. i guess as well, i don't want to be forgotten. But, realistically, most of us will be. i don't have children to carry on the family or anything, either. People who knew me will remember, until their time comes too. And i wonder, likes lots of us, is this it? Is there more (i really don't think so) but it would be cool if there was. But in the cold light of day, i think this is it. We are a fluke in this universe. We are bits of flotsam and we will just join all those who came before and are now gone. We each of us are here for only a brief, shining moment in time. i guess we need to do our best with it.
  15. My gift to you all is peace. It is something i seek everyday and it's hard, sometimes, to find. Happy Friday, my friends.
  16. Thank you for sharing this about your mom's life. i'm very sorry for your loss. You've so many memories that will be a comfort for you. And you were a champion for your mom in these last years. i wish you and your family, comfort and strength. tim xo
  17. Yeats anyone? This is a wonderful poem...
  18. Can't add much to this ... other than to say, i hope you all have love in your lives ... and someone who holds your heart ...
  19. geez, i hope it does start to calm down soon ... lots of breaks and deep breathing.
  20. Well, i now know they have male only private mental health hospitals in north western Scotland.
