Stretch I know you don't drink coffee. But try a cup with extra caffeine?

 

If I don't drink coffee, I get a headache.

If I don't eat, I get a headache.

If I look at my wife, I get a headache...

[SAT 9,609]

You know what I feel like eating? 

Watermelon...

Now I know why MIL was being all nice and feeding me cheesecake, she took another bluddy cleaning job - I get to spend 3 evening's this week cleaning an office building and she gets paid.

I actually lost my cool and yelled at her, I don't like that I did that but it's so frustrating

Because she's 84 and would go on her own if I did.

Theres a bunch of heavy lifting and a ton of carpet to vacuum, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if anything happened to her.

I'm a soft touch and she knows it

Redneck isn't happy with her and is going to have words with her

It's really bad. I look like a raccoon with big black shiners. I was expecting to hear back from them by now.

You need to call the ppl paying her and tell them off. What on earth are they thinking? Do not keep doing the work or she will keep taking these jobs.

I'd let her do it. I would sit there and watch her then when she can't I'd take her home and leave the rest not done. These ppl are taking advantage of her and you.

So not Thanksgiving. But still up to no good. That is wrong, and you ought to let her do it on her own. Seriously.

You need to, pardon the expression, harden up.  A lot more needs to happen than 'words with her'. Let her go on her own, maybe she might just learn something from it. Nothing will happen to her. And if it does? Her responsibility. You aren't there to bail her out of every wrong-headed thing she does.  My opinion, coming from someone, you understand, who fell into that trap for years. It's not your job, Trudi. It isn't your responsibility. 

 

Find out what bright spark at the church though this was an acceptable thing for someone of her years, and self-confessed poor health to take on. And give them an earful.  Whoever they are, they need a good swift boot.

Massive headache! I don't know how much longer I can put up with it. I just cannot function like this. I get only a few minutes a day where it's gone. Surgery cannot come fast enough.

Poor Ontarklar, sigh D ma'am.

Can they amputate it while you await the corrective surgery, huh D ma'am?

I ordered some Taliban spices to make goat kabobs for July Many'th...

And, I bought some fireworks for the kids to play with.

And, you're probably one of those clowns who wait till past the last minute to order their July Many'th pre-owned toilet seats (even past the generous same-day delivery window!) and then cry and moan when they don't arrive in time for the festivities, zero pity here man.

 

Your outhouse will therefore remain starkly bare and unadorned, disappoint all your guests man.

 

Next time, priorities first, get with it man.

And, even if you come to your senses in time, no 0.000001% discount for you, no and  man.

For once we agree, at least temporarily man.

 

Many-Part ([2+2]-Part) Rant, grrr man:

 

1.  Mrs. T-B. calls us late at the office, call we she man.

      Says that her one-hour appointment lasted all day, and that she socialized afterwards, admit she man.

      We ask, "Did you remember to take Mama-Mrs.-T-B. to her acupuncture session, huh man?"

      We could see the patented blank/terrified ADD look without any video, ADD she man.

 

2.  Mrs. T-B. tells us that she is taking Mini-B. & Mama-Mrs.-T-B. to the park, "so you can nap," say she man.

      We arrive at casa to find thermostat set at Many (2x2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2) -- yes, Many (2x2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2) degrees, parboiled we man.

      Upstairs, it was Many (2x2x2+2) degrees hotter, vulcanize we man.

      Of course, we had to collect the house trash and clean the litterbox, all upstairs man.

      Half the pills in the medicine cabinet were melted, $o long man.

      We sweated at least as much as after mow-lawning, all apparel soaked man.

      We couldn't shower for a very long time, no sense topping old sweat with new man.

      We were a very unhappy camper, frosted we man.

 

We know the precise reason for all this, si man.

Mama-Mrs.-T-B. keeps mentioning that she's cold, not used to A/C man.

Mrs. T-B. has therefore been upping the thermostat on the sly until gauging when we'll return, devious she man.

However, her ADD did her in this time, forgot her plan man.

 

When she called again, we read her the riot act, grrrrRRRRR we man.

We told her that this isn't a censored Many'rd-World country, NO man.

We told her that we'd give her a major chicharron if she ever pulled this stunt again, serious we man.

But we have the last laugh, ha ha we man.

The A/C is currently set on Many (2x2x2x2x2x2 + 2+2+1) degrees, and there it will stay all night man.

 

Many.  Mrs. T-B. left us din-din:  spaghetti with broccoli in it, gag man.

             We cannot eat broccoli, she knows why man.

             This means that we can (and shall) be as emittive as we care to be, including in the kitchen man.

 

Many.  Mrs. T-B. knows that we dish the warsher Mon-Wed-Fri-Sat, keep under control man.

             We opened the warshdisher in preparation for doing our husbandly duties, industrious we man.

             We beheld it full of dripping-wet dishes, placed there to dry after hand-warshing man.

             She knows how this infuriates us, do a full job if you're going to start it man.

             Said dishes are now spread atop the kitchen counter & cooktop, dry & put them away yourself man.
