The Hillbilly wants cilantro

Hillbilly is hereby permanently excommunicated from the Community of Red-Blooded Men, sorry D ma'am.

Unless he wants to grow it so he can burn it, or blow it up, or ship it all into outer space, exception man...

Got second r-casa application last night, too faint to read on-screen man.

Too faint to read as printout, too, eyestrain man, and it appears to be incomplete anyway, that too man.

What is clear is that their bid for monthly rent is under our asking-price, insult to injury man.

Application rejected, bye man.

Easter-carding Asia!  Easter-carding, EASTER-CARDING Asia!

Well I'm going to plant in under a tree. Where it may not grow. 

 

He tries to tell me I'm picky. Well for a man that eats everything but hates pears. I say he has no taste buds so he can't talk.

WCG will leave today, sigh and bye man.

We gave him our old ceiling fan, fan club we man.

Many.  I say he has no taste buds so he can't talk. 

1.  Good -- waste the seeds of that noxious weed, D ma'am.

2.  Tell him, "You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't wipe your friends on the furniture, si and si and no man."

Many.  Would he even eat what (what happened to the strikethrough, huh man?) Tiff cooks, huh man?

Many.  If he can't talk, how can he respond with "Yes, Dear," huh D ma'am?

So tired.

 

I took the MIL to her follow up with the Doc yesterday.  I gave him a piece of my mind, the little I could spare. Here we are, again, having spent another weekend in the same condition she was admitted. All the discharge notes advise was that there would be a stress test in a month or two, possible a stent. Not good enough. He agreed with me, but he couldn't offer anything other than a further admission. He doesn't have admitting privileges anywhere else other that the local revolving door. So, who does? Cardiology? Great. Get that man on the phone and get him off his bottom, enough already.

 

Flurry of phone calls back and forth. She could have come home and waited, she could go back to the local hospital, she could go to Little Rock and see a proper cardiologist.

She opted to come home, until I reminded her she would be on her own. My Husband had his sleep study booked for last night, also in Little Rock. That appointment took months to get, and as far as I was concerned, it was not negotiable.

 

So, home in a flurry, pack him, pack her, saddle up the dog because now she had to be boarded overnight, and almost get out the door when her minister rolls up. Nope, can't go yet, he has to pray over her, and lay hands on her in his best old time revival tent style, and all of that nonsense. I am not a religious person, and I must say this god-bothering nonsense gets right up my nose. I am afraid I wasn't terribly polite when I asked him to wind it up, we were out the door.

 

All the way down there, in a terrific thunderstorm, poor visibility and heavy rain through construction zones being my absolute favourite thing to drive through, and I am getting back seat driving instructions. Complaints that people kept ringing her, and it is terrible how  word spreads so fast in a small town. The only person that told anyone was my MIL. If you don't want people ringing you every 10 seconds, don't tell anyone. And turn the darn thing off. Tell one person what you want half of the county to know, and let them pass it on. They don't all have to speak to the horse's mouth.

 

Stuck in traffic for half an hour with moaning minnie in the back seat, watching the time tick by. We had planned to leave at 19:00 for an 20:30 appointment, but due to this detour we had to get on the road by 16:00. And leave enough time to find a bite to eat for dinner.

 

We skated in the door for my Husband's appointment with 5 minutes to spare. He flunked hugely, she says his apnea is severe (no kidding). After less than two hours she was back in the room, and over the next few hours tried three different masks on him. As I thought, she couldn't get a good seal on any of them. Bless his heart, he tried to fall asleep,  but every time he started to drift off, his lower half mandible drops and his mouth falls open, and the machine starts to woosh which made him cough and choke, and he was awake again. So he got two hours, such as it was, and I got none.  We were back on the road at 06:00, and I waited around here until 08:00 so I could rescue the dog. I guess there was quite a storm locally too, and she's no fan of that.

 

After 25 hours on my feet, I was too tired to sleep, so will try this afternoon. She's rung me half a dozen times to tell me that she is going to have a stent late today, or early tomorrow. Frankly, I don't give a rats. I don't even feel particularly guilty dropping her off and abandoning her once she was admitted.

 

I rang her daughter to tell her what was up, and all she wanted to talk about was her retirement party coming up on Friday. In future, if she wants info she can call her Mother herself. If she wants to know what is really going on, she can call me. I'll make book I never hear from her again.

Wow, glad your husband has his diagnosis now. He will feel so much better once he can breath while he sleeps. 

 

I sure wouldn't feel guilty about dropping off your MIL after the roller coaster you've been on. Hopefully they can get her more stable. 

 

Honestly I'd stop calling your SIL, she can't be bothered let the nurses or doctors contact her if they need to.

He will do, provided they can fit him somehow. There will be a follow up with them, at some point.

Hang in there, keep the faith, and hugs, si Eh ma'am.

And do not call sis-in-law again, no Eh ma'am.

He can see a dentist too for it. Ours just recently added this to their treatments. My husband is thinking on getting them to look into his, so he doesn't need the machine anymore. 

 

I think Tbone had a dentist help with that too? 

 

I can't stand the machine the sound drives me nuts.

I can't find my cordless impact wrench. Lent it to a friend, got it back, let it in the kitchen and never saw it again. Impact wrench, 2 batteries, 1 charger. 500 bucks. 

 

Tiff.....

[SAT 9,609]

Spent 3 hours tossing the house. 

How do I know it's Tiff?

Cause I told her to leave it alone...

[SAT 9,609]

I also can't find an 8000 dollar check.
