I apologize if I have offended
Comments (8)Caliloo, You have no reason to apologize. I've got total respect for you and most others here. I value all info my tiny brain can soak up and enjoy your posts. I tried my hardest to do as I've learned from past experience and just avoid the posts of users I'd prefer not to converse with. But this one resident complainer shouldn't call people out on a public forum like they do. My apologies to you also if you thought I was talking directly to you on a different topic. It was addressed more to a group as a whole, since I've seen quit a bit of bickering on here lately....See Morecan I whine here, just a teensy bit?
Comments (7)MomJ47....I think you wrote what I was feeling when I read her letter, and you said it well. I think sometimes they just "need a hug" and reassurance that all will be fine, even tho it isn't. It has to be scary in their world....and they are so helpless. Many times after my MIL passed away, I had so many "regrets", not goign up and giving her a HUG, and saying it will be alright, for instance when we went ot the hospital before she passed on, she was sitting on the side of the bed, with nurses around her, and they were going to release her,and she was in no condition to be released that day. She sat with the most miserable scared look on her face and said" you miswell just take me to the nursing home"!! I regret not going in and putting my arms around her and comforting her and telling her it would be ok. Two weeks later she was gone. Ohhh how the regrets always come when it is to late to do anythign about it. She knew I think in her heart, I loved her but having her for 5 years, weighed alot on my nerves. I do however, feel in some of the letters, now that i read, the aggravation these caregivers feel, but believe me...when it is over and said and done...we all will look back and have the feelings i have had. I think, no matter how angry and frustrated we are, it only takes a minute ,to hug them and let them know, we are there for them,in this final days of their life. We all need a HUG now and then, and I found it to be hard to do with my MIL....let this be a lesson learned from someone who has been there,and now has regrets. Again you said it so well...Mom J47.....HUGS Gabby...See MoreMovie Review
Comments (8)Ghost Town is a keeper! I told my husband I want to buy that one. And yeah, Lydia my husband even said he thought they were about to start preaching any second now. That's not the bad part though. The acting and script were horrible. And it seemed more like a public service announcement with a bunch of really cheesey lines....See MoreArrrgh! light above sink will not be centered!
Comments (17)We had same issue. We'd planned for one recessed light above sink but ended up with 2 because of the joist dad-smack at the center point of the new window. We replaced our existing window with one 3 times as wide and because the temporary sink we were using was in the existing location, no one seemed to notice. When our contractor started to do electrical work he felt awful because he could have moved the window a few inches down since he was custom building the cabinets. The funny thing is, once our new sink and countertops were installed, the 2 lights illuminate the large width of the area so much better than just one would have. And we put them on dimmers so we can adjust how much light we need. So it was a mistake that turned into something we are really happy with....See Moreplllog
