Good Morning!

[WVNed]

Good day
Busy busy Old guy, broken dog, me. Nice day outside.
Things to do. Now Earnest is going to live here. It's what Jill want's. I will make it so. We will take care of him.
No assisted living in a place far from home. It would be like leaving him on a desert isle and sailing away. That was the plan of her two brothers. We refused to go along with it. We were supposed to agree with them. The easy thing.

They never once talked to him, asked him what he wanted or did anything to care for him. It seems parents are something to be tossed away like everything else now.
They have no idea who I am after 40 years. Earnest and I were never close. But he is Jill's father and I respect him like my own. I took care of my parents and I am not scared of old people with no clothes on, blood or any of the things that come out of old people.
I have seen death before.
Strength is in the will and not the body.
Next they will say we are just after the money. Like they did after I got him and Jill in to see Jean before she passed in the nursing home. Lockdown, danger, danger, impossible. Cant be done.
It took one phone call and someone willing to make it.

If you ain't for us you are against us. You make us look bad.
Such tiny tiny people should be careful what they come up against.

I got enough things to run.
Yes, many many things haver been forgotten. But not by me.

Last June we were faced with a horrible car accident involving our daughter. We ended up taking over care of our grand daughter. Many people have asked/questioned us about doing it as we are not young. I always say that I don't understand the question and they look at me funny. I explain, she needs someone to care for her, where's the question, family is family, period. Thank you Ned and your wife for stepping up.

The funny part is there is no one more amazed than Earnest
I asked him if he ever thought he would be dried off after a shower by a old fat Italian guy.

Funny how the biggest problems in life can be quickly shrunk to nothing.
We are talking about fixing some bad boards in the deck now. He is a carpenter and knows stuff I don't. A new screen in the sliding door. Bear poked it out with the giant black nose.
I will let him help me.

He by default doesn't like cats. He poked Louie with his cane to get him to move. Louie decided they were playing and goes after the cane tip every time Earnest walks by now. Earnest laughs.

@WVNed, I hope everything works out with Earnest. My mother just turned 90 last week. My brother lives in the house with her in FL. She would HATE to be in any type of nursing facility. She has been in the same house since 1975 and plans to stay there. My brother does a great job of managing her care and she is happy to have him there. I know you and Jill will do a great job, too!

Ned,
it needs to be done and you are able, so there is no real question to answer, just describe what needs to be done so you can get started. birds of a feather sometimes also keep fish.

good morning all... :) enjoy your day...:)

Good morning
Ned's Home for infirm animals and elderly humans is open. Free coffee in the kitchen.
The new tank has a low pitched gurgle. It is coming from the pipes pushing air to the other room. I cant decide if I need to try to get rid of it or not. Maybe someday.

My first walk on the beach this season. I didn't want to wait for sunrise. It is 176 steps down and up to the beach :anguished-face:



If I would have waited a little while, it would look like this: (from last year)



This is the same beach in the opposite direction.


I sat on a bench there for a few minutes and I think that is the quietest, most peaceful place I have ever been. Not a single sound. It was so quiet that I could hear a seagull burp from 100 yards away.

2 miles down this beach there are 5 WW1 ships stranded on the sand. I posted pictures last year and they are on here someplace but I just found out they are that old.

At very low tide, like yesterday the huge propellers are out of the water and are probably bronze.
Bronze is a mixture of copper so maybe that is why I don't see ich on any of the fish here or because I use water from here, I also have no ich in my tank? :face-with-rolling-eyes:

One hundred years ago everyone owned a horse and only the rich had cars. Today everyone has cars and only the rich own horses. The s-tables have turned

Good morning! I'm up early to celebrate my favorite day of the week. :grimacing-face: Have a great day. :)

Good Morning. I am off to the beach this morning then to the dentist to argue about a bill for my wife.
Then to the library. I think they want to display some of my steam punk stuff in their entranceway. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

My wife's dentist sent her to another dentist for a second opinion on an implant. The second guy charged me $300.00 for his opinion.

First of all I think the first dentist should pay that $300.00 if he needed another opinion and I think before I pay the second guy the $300.00 I will also get a second opinion.

I was an electrician and if another electrician sent me someone for my opinion I doubt I would say to him: Well the first guy was wrong, give me $300.00 :face-with-rolling-eyes:

even though giving second opinions on social media is my second job. ;)

Good Morning Reefies.
was mid eighties over the weekend here.
back to reality this week.
50's/40's/30's day time temps, with 20's for night time.
have a great day.

 

[dbowman5]

Good Morning! the third day of open windows and inside temp currently 80 deg. outside 65 deg.; well ok due to overnight expected rain i had shut the downstairs windows where the thermostat is, so it should be cooling somewhat now that the windows down here are open probably in time for the rain to arrive and humidify everything.
my DiL is in the hospital and i am on stand by to become a first-time Grandpa today. i am soooo excited. i just fed the fish and they are acting like i feel! lol
