The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
Yes, she gets really upset when they try to send us off the the private dining room (for family). She wants us all to be in the main dining room. The staff gets a little irritated because there are not enough places at the table, but we just grab a corner and crowd together — 6 of us at a table for 4. The men seem to enjoy us. My husband (the negineer) talks tractors and business with them.
I explained to one of them (Richard who rides his own scooter and doesn’t wait for an aide to wheel him around) that she was “cold” in the private room. I added, “Besides, there is no sugar on the table in there” as she was ripping open packets of Sweet and Low and doctoring her coffee and milk. “And no crackers.” This elderly man’s eyes just sparrkled and he laughed. He’s all there and still enjoys a good sense of humor. He sort of watches over her when the waitresses aren’t bringing her her food the way she wants it.
I first met Richard last August, but he says he doesn’t remember. I think he remembers a lot. I remember that he was an accountant and that he was a little unhappy because his daughter sold his house and his car and moved him into the assisted living apartments. He’s quite fragile, yet he gets around on that scooter all by himself. He likes to watch TV and his favorite program is The Rifleman, so he usually leaves the table first.
that is the most amazing batch of bull$h!t i have ever read. and what does PIV stand for? penetration in vagina? who comes up with this insanity??? oh pregancy is a fate worse than death, but without it, we’d die out as a species. good LORD.
OK that made me laugh out loud. The co-workers are wondering what's up....
he sounds adorable. are you matchmaking for your mom ; ) ? i think it’s great that you are spending time with all of them, undoubtedly it makes them feel more of their NORMAL selves to be treated as individuals and chatted with etc.
These homes are widely varied in their prices and their services. I just pray that Mom can continue to live where she is. They have raised her rent once, but it is fully understandable since she needs an aide for everything now -- dressing, bathing, transporting. Her retirement income almost covers her expenses with the remainder being paid for by her savings. But, if she were to start moving from place to place, those savings would be quickly depleted.
Penis In Vagina.
seriously? goes together like peanut butter and jelly, rum and coke. LOL. i cannot fathom the warped mind that comes up with these things. its UNNATURAL.
You are just stuck in the heterocage.
And the fact that animals do it is no argument for it being natural!
Ask Dave, I’ve been long saying he should do stand up!
Heterocage. Another grate product from the makers of Mister PIV.
Isn’t that article insane? You know that photo going around of the liberal twit with the long dirty dreadlocks and the ugly cap on her head? That is what I envisioned the author of that piece looking like. A man hating, liberal lesbian with daddy issues.
Not matchmaking. But, I think that she’s always enjoyed conversing with men. She invests more credibility in their opinions.
Bill (the one who moves around from home to home) seems to like us because he’s from Iowa and we’re visiting from Wisconsin. He likes to talk about the weather. He was a farmer after the Army and he and his late wife raised 6 kids. His daughter stopped by last night, and she was delightful. I could sure see the family and personality resemblance.
I know, but I like the furniture and the occupants in here with me.... ;^)
i can’t even conceive of what has to have happened to you in life for you to remotely think that way. i know that they couldn’t ever have brushed up against any religious teaching in any meaningful way.
Man, you guys are on target with the jokes today!
well it’s good to hear that the family is involved and coming by to see him. by and large i think men are more interesting also, so i can’t blame her there.
The idea that men “enforce intercourse” because we want to cause pregnancy is surely news to every man out there who has ever sweated a late period.
Yes, complete mental dysfunction. Obvious deep issues.
One less drunken violent wife beating anti-Semite in the House.
How ever will they make do?
