This place used to be cutting edge...ready fire aim...pedal to the metal....high wire act with no net...it flat out is NOT anymore.......

When have you ever done that....went on the attack? You just like to watch.

Does this mean we are going to see the Hawaiian Tiger Shark go into a forum feeding frenzy? Here, I'll hold your surfboard!

Seriously Tommy, do you ever get any more than mildly miffed? You come across as the most laid back person on earth.

I agree! But don't expect Ari and I to get in a cat fight over you, sweetie....you're not married.

But all kidding aside, you are loved and I hope things work out for you darlin'.

In addition I said... refer back to my "manifesto" and you'll see I'm just kidding. Sorry about your mom and pops, Tom. You're a good man for moving back home to take care of them. It's very commendable, not chicken. It takes a real man to step up to the plate like that and give up some things to do the right thing...to give that much love and care.

Not complaining...well maybe a tad....but I will tell you this...one day you are cruising along...then...WHAM...you are OLD...and everything that comes with it.

I keep telling you're too young to be old, so I'm going to assume you're talking about your parents.

Growing old is life. Better than dying young, imo, regardless of the rigors of life. Gotta take the downhills along with the up to see the other side of the mountain on this roller coaster ride. There's too much beauty still left in the world to enjoy not to ride it to the end, though. You have this time with your folks to give them love and love is the most beautiful thing of all.

similar situation here.uncle already had one kidney transplant a few years back has appointments scattered throughout the week and pretty much nothing more they can do.sometimes have to go to his home at 4 in the morning.there was a stretch where i was going over there every night at 3 or 4 then having him at his appointments by 7 or 8 in the morning.while this was happening the things below were happening.....


father had a minor stroke sitting in my living room last winter.got up to leave and started acting drunk.he told me he took a nerve pill earlier in the day and let him go home but something told me to stop him at all cost from leaving my house.i made him irritated by making him go to a hospital where he spent a week and where they told him i saved his life by getting him there so he wasn't too mad after the fact.

a couple weeks after that his back went out and he spent the next few months in a wheelchair while i drove him all over the city to specialists and then he finally got surgery for that recently so he is doing better.

mom had a brain anuresym here at my house five minutes before five in the morning.i was just about to get off work doing night shift when i called my wife to be ready unlock the door and let me in when all the sudden i heard all kinds of noise.my wife informed me my mother had just walked in the living room holding her head and making weird sounds and saying her head was hurting badly.i raced home in time to see the ambulance jetting for the hospital.she spent months in there and they said it was a miracle she survived.she will never be the same but she is doing much better.

all this happened within a couple weeks time period.it almost killed me from lack of sleep and pressure on all fronts.hang in there tom i know its tough.there will be good days and bad days.

You live on Maui for crying out loud! You have it good! I live in Texas where the temps are starting to rise to over 100 degree days and no ocean in sight! So excuse me if I don't feel sorry for ya! Seriously....I helped take care of my dad when he became invalid and wheelchair bound....in his 50's. I would love the chance to lift him from the chair to the car and take him to the park and push his chair around again. Would love to read to him again when he was in a coma. Would even love the chance to suction his tracheotomy tube again. Both of my parents have been gone for many years now. Appreciate the time you have with your folks because you'll miss them when they are gone.

The simplest explanation is that listening to Revelation has made all of us better people.

"I helped take care of my dad . I would love the chance to lift him from the chair to the car and take him to the park

....but the car wasnt invented yet. Neither was the chair or the park for that matter ! "

" Would love to read to him

......again, books werent invented then . "

"Both of my parents have been gone for many years now.

......and they never expected me to live to be 2200 years old"



Good on you for being such a trooper PhylMeister and always looking at the bright side of life !

I don't have all night for this malarchy. Go at each other now, kiddos and you wont be so bored. Night.

You know, I learned something here... I actually went to look up the spelling of malarkey, because that didn't look right, but seriously, I've don't think I've ever seen that word in print before.

Who the hell says "malarkey"? What next? "Snookered"? "Humdinger"? "Bees knees"?

I say humdinger ...ouch!!!

[Deb]

Noticed that with my parents it seems in just the last few years too. Mind you now that dad has 2 new hips he's just raring to go and driving my mom nuts. Mom has been slowing down quite a bit the last couple years, quite a few health issues like one kidney, heart problems and bad arthritis. Big hugz Tommy, you're a stand up guy.

[Behshad]

The whole bitch hive is stirring now! I'm allergic so I'm out. Have a go at each other for awhile. In just a matter of time before you will find a target in either each other or some other poor unaware soul who falls in here. No one should wonder why participation on here has declined to such a level. I'll sit back and watch how y'all try to revive the place. Same ol' target and attack games, I figure. If no new bait falls in, though, you'll have to go at each other instead to keep it up. Have fun with that after you 3 "ladies" have nothing to bond over any longer.

Go ahead...get the last word....you know you wanna! Scratch that itch!

Talking to yourself & about yourself again !???
How many times did you say good night and didnt leave !??? Such malarchy !

[bluejeangirl76]

it's malarkey. i looked it up!
