Golden Corral for a late dinner. Food. Coma.

Sorry about your loss, Patman :( It's never easy no matter how long you've had to prepare.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge: What are you looking forward to in the offseason?

Bummer Patman, sorry to hear.

Golden Corral? Ewwww....

How long does it take to get used to bifocals? Anyone? Goldy?

So forgot to mention something. On the way back from Moroney today I-44 was backed up to I-40 where it bottlenecked to a single lane because of an accident. As we drove past we saw the accident. A pickup was on the hood of a minivan. And by "on the hood of a minivan" I mean the rear wheels were on the roof of the minivan and the front fender was on the ground in front of it.

hanging in there... mmm... chicken parm sub... my parents were going to come down here this weekend. I'm hoping, personally, that the "viewing" is Friday... my parents will still come down here... I think it'd do my mother to get away... she's been dealing with this for nearly 20 years between my grandfather's strokes and all the rest. Its been a real burden on her and I hope this frees up her time to do better things in life. On the other hand, its helped my mom work through some things from earlier in her life and issues she's had with her.

With any luck the "viewing" (as much as one can view an urn) will be friday or so... mom and dad were going to come down this weekend, and I'd still like them to so that some heads can clear. That and my mother bought a pot and pan set for me.

to be honest, I'm not so hard up about it... I'm more tied up in the problem that I've kept off boards (les knows)... even feeling better about this... I've been thinking about the grandparents lately as I looked through the Census records. You always wish you had more time... my other grandmother died the day before I intended to call (when i was coming to DC for my internship... wanted to stop by before heading down). I think its now that the generation is gone that its a bit more difficult... but I've been through so much, mentally, in the last few years that I can dissociate quite a bit. Fair or unfair... and my grandmother got really nasty with my mother down the line. My mother was supposed to be the old maid like her aunt... the ugly child... or so my grandmother thought.

I don't like to seek out the "pity party"... that's not to denigrate others... I get sentimental but I'm not big on a wide broadcast. I have half a mind to try to contact her sister.... she's, I believe... 94... but at 90 she moved like she was 70 (they all came out east when she turned 90... the last time the two sisters saw each other). Her sister is like the ultimate grandmother in that she's a sweet reserved person and usually fairly aware of things for an older person (I don't mean in the brain loss way... I mean, in the normal stream of society way).

Well, the game was fun, even though the Twins suck something fierce. We had a good time, wandering around the ballpark, and after a few innings we found a place to sit that was out of the wind and in the sun, so it was quite comfortable. Went and got dinner afterward, and overall a good afternoon.....oh ****, this was technically a date, wasn't it? :eek:


Hope everything works out for you Patman, despite the tough situation.

I so want to say who you went on this "date" with. :D The comedy factor would be off the charts with mutual friends.

Note to the clueless masses: she's way cool, and Dustin could do worse. A LOT worse.

And ditto to you, Patman.

Are they lined or no-line bifocals, old man?

I had them when I was in 9th grade, the no-line types. They were my first pair of glasses ever. I got used to them pretty quickly, within a week or two. Then the next time I got my eyes checked, by a different doctor, and she was in shock that the first doctor prescribed me bifocals. It turns out that I had an astigmatism and the first doctor missed the diagnosis but still gave me a prescription that worked.

Very happy I don't need glasses yet. Both sides of my family have needed them early, generation to generation. Both my brother and me have seemed to miss that gene. And I'll be dammed if i wear contacts.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge: What are you looking forward to in the offseason?

Good Morning, MEUSA! :)


Good Morning to the rest of tLodge! :)
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge: What are you looking forward to in the offseason?

Why have we stopped numbering these threads? Is it the math? :eek:

This should be #148 although i vaguely recall a misnumbering several years ago.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge: What are you looking forward to in the offseason?

Morning Lodge.

Can still pass the forklift driving test without them?

I wonder if anyone still makes lined bifocals these days? I got used to the bifocals in about a day. Depends on how severe the difference in the two prescriptions I think.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge: What are you looking forward to in the offseason?

Morning, Lodge. Waiting at the gate for my first flight. We got SO much done these last 5 days.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge: What are you looking forward to in the offseason?

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge: What are you looking forward to in the offseason?

Good morning Lodge.

Patman, sorry for the loss.
