Slache Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Not you as in you're not a tough princess? Or you wouldn't have felt awkward? I'm not tough. I handle tough situations well but I would never intentionally be put in one. Someone climbed Mount st. Helens in heals. I probably wouldn't have done it otherwise. ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I have no shame in making him carry my stuff and I definitely was not skipping ahead with energy to spare. When we got to timberline on the way down (1 1/2 miles left, fairly flat) I started crying because I was so tired and I didn't stop until we got to the car where I apparently fell asleep before Matt finished packing.Then it seems things are divided up just fine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read what I missed and "liked" a few things. I'm too tired to actually respond to anything. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots of little ducklings Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I am attempting to ketchup, but am oddly anxious to interrupt my ketchup flow and share with you about my skissors. So in Duck's house there are: Blue Grownup Fiskars skissors for MOM but often stolen and not returned to Mom's desk* Orange Grownup Fiskars skissors for MOM but often stolen and not returned to Mom's desk* Blue Grownup Cheap skissors for the garage Blue Kid Fiskars for DS8 Pink Kid Fiskars for Dd6 Green Kid Fiskars for Dd5 Purple Kid Fiskars for Dd4 Black Cutcos for the kitchen (a wedding gift, and the only thing from the knife set that was worth keeping) little skissors for the sewing basket other little skissors that I just found in the corner of crawlspace today beside where we keep the kids off-season shoes; they are still there now. Because what gets left in the crawlspace, stays in the crawlspace. nice manicure skissors that I stole from dh when we were married so I could use them on my nails. They were his, for his nose hairs, and has not forgiven me. cheap manicure skissors that came free in the mail from some organization wanting a donation. I gave them to dh. hair cutting skissors, used for cutting tags off of new clothes. Because I don't do hair cuts, much to dh's dismay. I think that is all. *hence the need for two. :toetap05: *I should mention that I stole the orange ones from MY mom decades ago. The irony of that just hit me now. :lol: 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lots of little ducklings Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I felt that by hugging me long and hard that he would feel that I was not wearing a bra because it was all smashed there between us. I have enough to make a difference in what sort of support chosen. I also am kind of old and need support. In a baggy shirt with a baggy sweatshirt over it, nothing can be seen. But when you grab someone to your bosom (hehehe) and hold them there for a long time, it might become obvious. I tried to shake his hand. He wanted to hug me like I had donated him a kidney. Tactical error - should have chosen the supportive bra. I will not make that mistake again. I did not anticipate a Hug-a-thon. I would have gotten pledges and raised money. :lol: :smilielol5: :smilielol5: :smilielol5: :smilielol5: :smilielol5: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) I have a pair of orange Fiskars. They are my favorite. So sharp. They were Nan's, and I was at her house using them to cut coupons and admired them. The next time I saw her, she gave them to me. <3 Edited May 22, 2016 by texasmama 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots of little ducklings Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 It's clear and cold here in Central Texas. We may or may not leave the house today. I still have to put away the Christmas stuff that is in the room outside the actual room where we store stuff. My tree is now tossed beside the driveway! :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: The ornaments must still be boxed away, though. I was going to do them tonight, but why do tonight what can wait until the third Saturday in June? So there they shall sit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next time I saw her, she gave them to me. <3 That was not too long before her steep decline into Alzheimer's land. Of all the things Nan gave me, I treasure those scissors the most, I think. My dh says they are his because they remind him of his childhood since she had them a long time, but I know the truth. I admired them, and she gave them to me. At the time even it seemed odd to me, like she knew her time of needing scissors was drawing to a close. She chose a good home for her scissors. I love them. I will think of Nan now every time I use my orange ones. That was a sweet story. :001_wub: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots of little ducklings Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) On to the next topic... Laundry at Duck's House. Out of the dryer and sorted directly into the owner's personal mini-laundry-basket, unfolded. (We have 6 mini-baskets for myself and kids; dh does his own laundry on his own time. Because he survived for forty years without me and can manage his own laundry, says I.) Children then carry their baskets upstairs and shove their clothes into their labeled organizer drawers, unfolded, while I hang my own. Everyone then takes their empty basket back to the laundry room. It works beautifully and we all get along just fine. With few exceptions, any wrinkles disappear within ten minutes of putting the garment on, and by the time I die I will have redeemed for myself 68.3 weeks' worth of folding time.* *Figure is approximate, and based on absolutely no data whatsoever. Your own results may vary. Edited to add space between "on" and "to." Because I puffy-heart Ellie and would go home crying were she to see such a glaring error and correct it.

So I shall start getting ready for bed now, even though I don't wanna. My Hashimoto's makes sleep cycles pretty much non-existent.
