Another Lynn Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Before I get caught up on the thread, I have to spill the convo I had with my odd father, who was over today. He called to tell me that I should take care that my trash does not blow away, as the wind is going to be high. Also, the wood floors which are currently being laid upstairs probably have a high formaldehyde level, and I should watch little dd carefully for symptoms. :confused1: This was followed up by lectures on my footwear, which probably caused plantar fasciitis, and if I want to ruin my feet and my kids' feet, I should keep buying flip flops. :huh: It was twenty minutes of doom and gloom. I hung up and almost needed to call the suicide hotline! What a downer. He is not usually on such a tear, but he was in really rare form. He always picks up on a few minute details of things that should be different around my house (due to us only having time and energy for the really big stuff right now), but wow, just wow. I then went to the AHG fall party, which was very nice except for an older brother who came (age 15) to the mostly 1st-4th grade girls' party dressed as the grim reaper and chased them around with a scythe. :confused1: If anyone needs me, I will be raising goats for milk, food, and hair in the mountains somewhere off the grid. :gnorsi: P.S. I thought our kitten had gotten out while the formaldehyde wood floor man was here. I could not find her and was worried. Later, ds12 found her hiding in the crevice of the couch. She is deathly afraid of the wood floor man because evidently HE is the grim reaper due to bringing poisons into the home. :ohmy: :thumbdown: P.P.S. All I have left is my sense of humor. Tex, You are a good daughter! How did little dd do with the crazed AHG party? Goats stink and it sounds like a lot of work. I sense your desperation. But you might sleep better after all that. So glad kitty is safe and sound. . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Lynn Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Speaking of fathers, mine is on prednisone which has made him so much livelier for the first time in three and a half years (since his leukemia diagnosis). He is so funny (all the time), but it's good to see him perked up - AND especially to have an appetite again. I suggested prednisone a long time ago, but alas I don't have a medical degree. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Openhearted Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Good Morning!!!!! Finally a day at home with no appointments, no meetings, no get-togethers. Thank goodness. There is a Halloween party tonight, but I am hoping everyone has forgotten about it. Tomorrow will be a BIG day so I think we need to stay home anyway. Hope everyone has a good day. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is such good news!!! I am so glad the medicine helps him. Prednisone really helped my FIL with his breathing too. He had COPD and black lung from working in coal mines.

That is really great! Go dad! Meds taken. And magnesium and vitamin D. We have a pantry moth plague and can't figure out where they're coming from. It's not from the pantry. We got pantry moths from the parrot food. They love seeds and the dried red peppers in it. I had to put everything in mason jars and then freeze the parrot food for a week after we buy it. That parrot is a menace. Raining cats and dogs here. We need it. Mr. Ellie is on a road trip for work, to Houston and back. No hula today. IDK why.

lots of little ducklings Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Renai -- sorry to hear the moths are back. I have no tips on getting rid of them; but I am hating them for you, with venomous passion. We have a history, pantry moths and me. Not a pleasant one. Dawn - Praying, and can't wait to hear how it goes! Lynn - I'm delighted about your dad's new meds, but so saddened to hear of his cancer! :grouphug: Ellie - Shucks. I just donated a long black dress. Hope your shopping is successful, and I ditto the skirt idea. You are more likely to use it again in the future.
