OT? Homemaking when you're never home ...
Comments (26)Thank you all so very much for your thoughtful, moving responses. Wow - I'm overwhelmed to know that so many of you feel similarly, and also wowed that there at least a couple of you whose lifestyles are like mine - with your hubbies staying at home while you go out there and bring home the bacon. (It is an unusual lifestyle, and I've found, surprisingly, that even in this day and age of acceptance, many people still raise eyebrows at the choice that my DH and I have made in this regard.) I think that women just lean naturally more towards that nurturing instinct than men, which is pretty much what Red said. Not that there aren't men who make a home and do it beautifully (I think of my own dad, who adores making homemade soup and knows how to clean house down to the last perfect detail), but more often than not, home-nurturing is a feminine trait. Perhaps it is a combination of seasonal change and hormones and "the grass is greener syndrome" rearing up in me that's causing my feelings. We don't have kids at home, although 7 indoor cats are demanding and force constant cleaning vigilance around the house. I must admit, I'm thankful that DH is home to deal with the nastier aspects of this, as I have zero desire to wipe up kitty barf or clean up the misplaced "tootsie rolls" that magically appear on the rugs at times. In my past life (when I was married to my ex), I spent 4 years as a full-time homemaker, and I absolutely adored being at home. That was a period in which some of my fondest memories were made, as my mom and I got to enjoy hours of "girl time" together. We shopped, we lunched, we traveled, and on my own I decorated and gardened and cooked and sewed, and did not for one minute miss the outside workplace. After four years circumstances dictated that I go back to work full time, and I've now been at this job for 15 years. Just as I was thankful for my time off work, I'm also thankful for my job. I know it's enabled me to do much and have things and experiences that I otherwise wouldn't have been able to. A very important part of my life nowadays is traveling. DH and I love Mexico, and I honestly am not sure what I'd do if suddenly I were forced to give up our twice-yearly trips down south of the border. This thread has reminded me that there are indeed trade-offs, and I need to be increasingly thankful for what I do have and love and enjoy, instead of pining for what I don't have. I feel I'm rambling now. Just wanted to thank everyone for the wonderful input. There's so much to ponder here....See MoreVisiting a public toilet- very funny (long)
Comments (2)Excellent!! I had to use a public bathroom today at JC Penney's...it was so clean I almost expected to see an attendant on duty offering to spray me with perfume!...we had a long drawn out conversation at work Friday night about people who can NOT use a bathroom in public...I'll now have this story in my mind everytime I watch someone go into the bathroom on the plane...maybe I should tell them about putting their purse around their neck..what a way to start up a conversation with someone!!...See Morewax myrtle ... wax
Comments (8)Thanks Susan for the holler ;o). Wax myrtle is Myrica cerifera. I have read articles where the early settlers would use the wax of the berries to make candles and have seen this wax for sale somewhere on the web and it wasn't cheap. I would like to make this wax for my own use and again while I've seen directions for doing so on the web I would like to hear someone say, "Yep I've done this and it works." 'Course at that point I would pick their brains for details and ideas of use ;o) Mike Here is a link that might be useful: Wax myrtle...See MoreLynn's colonoscopy journal. Very Funny (long)
Comments (12)I volunteer in the GI Lab and this is hilarious. I have learned a few things that might be of help to you future colonoscopy recipients: 1. choose a doc that does NOT use the Colyte. 2. make your appointment for early morning. Trust me on this one. Maybe before 9:00 AM. You'll thank me later. 3. Stop eating 1 1/2 days before procedure instead of just 1 day before. Trust me on this one, too. 4. If you have any concerns or real problems, tell the doc or nurse BEFORE you go into procedure, b/c when it's over, you won't remember to ask him a thing, unless it's like "when can I eat and go home?" Trust me on this one, too. I had 1 2 weeks ago and I don't remember who put my clothes on me afterwards, or how I got down to the car, or the doc coming in for the consultation afterwards. When you volunteer in a GI Lab, there are lots of ANGRY people b/c they're hungry, and they're always running late. Hence, the early morning appointment. Just trust me on all this!!LOL If you DO have one scheduled, I'd be happy to tell you the prep my doc uses which does not include Colyte, and it's not Rx. But, next time the Vodka may be included in my prep!! LOL...See Morecarol_in_california
