The hang out...

Mary Clancy goes up to Father O'Grady after his Sunday morning service, and she's in tears. He says, "So what's bothering you, dear?"

She says, "Oh, Father, I've got terrible news. My husband passed away last night."

The priest says, "Oh, Mary, that's terrible. Tell me, Mary, did he have any last requests?"

She says, "That he did, Father..."

The priest says, "What did he ask, Mary?"

She says, "He said, 'Please, Mary, put down that darned gun!'"

So this guy shows up at our door just now. He is travelling around or perhaps just sought us out (he is interested in my husband's work in metaphysics). If I'm not mistaken, my husband invited him to pitch his tent on our property (I rolled up on this on my ATV). The guy looks like a surfer dude and is well-spoken so I guess I'm okay with it. I did remind my husband of a number of things he needed to get done around the ranch so we can put the kid to work, lol.

Be carefull of wolves in sheeps clothing.

I'm with tiger; this type of story is very familiar to me.

Grandchildren are the payoff for being a parent ! You can spoil them rotten, and send them home to THEIR parents !!!

Things are not always as they seem. Watch your back.

Yeah, mo kidding - managed to steer the kid off our property by having him tag along while we ran errands then grabbing a bite and parting ways. A couple of comments he made were a little off but he seemed alright as long as he was off out ptoperty!

I feel relieved. I just had a bad feeling about this. I go by my gut instinct. This was not good.

Thanks for your concern, Tiger1 and Chrit. The kid was actually pretty innocuous but you never know. He was a slight surfer dude type with those goofy running shoes with the toes. Still, I made him follow us in his car and we drove over to a property we had in a neghboring town and mowed the lawn (I put him to work weeding, lol). Driving over to the restaurant, I said to my husband, "vegan", and sure enough he was. Still, I made it clear to my husband that we would part ways in town and under no circumstances was he coming back to the ranch.

I had to really put my foot down, but I was really annoyed that he would invite someone to camp at our ranch without conferring with me! And somebody who just shows up at your door - how weird is that? (Well, it has happened before, but still.)

Magnificent!

An elderly couple were driving across the country.
The woman was driving when she got pulled over by the highway patrol.
The officer said, "Ma'am did you know you were speeding?"

The woman, hard of hearing, turns to her husband and asks, "What did he say?"

The old man yells, "He says you were speeding!"

The patrolman says, "May I see your license?"

The woman turns to her husband and asks again, "What did he say?"

The old man yells, "He wants to see your license!"

The woman gave the officer her license.

The patrolman says, "I see you are from Arkansas. I spent some time there once and went on a blind date with the ugliest woman I've ever seen."

The woman turned to her husband and asked, "What did he say?"

And the old man yells, "He said he knows you!"

LOL !!! :)

Psych!!! how have you been? This is amazing!

Hi Dease!

I am good, busy but good. Thanks for asking. How are you doing in sweet home Alabama?

I'm doing well. We're getting ready for Hurricane Issac. I love to watch the storms come in...great movie weather!

Be safe !

The businessman dragged himself home and barely made it to his chair before he dropped, exhausted.

His sympathetic wife was right there with a tall cool drink and a comforting word.

"My, you look tired," she said. "You must have had a hard day today. What happened to make you so exhausted?"

"It was terrible," her husband said, "The computer broke down and all of us had to do our own thinking."

My oldest daughter is getting her teeth extracted tomorrow morning at 9am. The office has no equipment to knock her out. They will numb her. All of her uppers and half of the bottom teeth have to go. They are supposed to give her immediate dentures. Tomorrow is going to be a rough day. :(

Thanks Chrit. Tomorrow is going to be tough for my daughter, and trying for me.

Thank you, Dease !!!

Good to hear. Is your house still standing?

How is your daughter doing? I hope everything went well.

JUST HANGING OUT WITH MY WANG OUT.

This was really horrible. I swear they stuck her at least 50 times, I lost count after 15. Some of the teeth broke as the dentist was extracting them, and he had to drill them out. She got immediate dentures, as they took the impressions 2 weeks ago. She has to leave them in until she goes back to the dentist next tuesday.
I took her home from the dentist, and dropped off the prescription at Walmart. They told me they would be ready in less than an hour. So, 45 minutes after I get her home, I go back to Walmart to pick up her meds. When the numbing stuff wore off, I was at Walmart getting her prescriptions for the antibiotic and the pain killer. She called me while I was in line to pay. She was screaming and crying on the phone, telling me to hurry. The pain she is in is off the scale. I gave her a pain pill as soon as I walked in the door. It had no effect, so we gave her another one. She is only supposed to take one every 4 hours, but they wear off after less than 2 hours. After the pain pills finally kicked in, she decided to lay down and try to sleep. She had her head slightly elevated, but not enough. She bled all over the bed and herself. I am changing the gauze pads for her mouth very frequently, and it seems that the bleeding has finally subsided now.
She is in bed right now, 1 room away from me, crying and moaning in pain. She still has another hour before I can give her another pain pill. Her face is very swollen, but I did expect that. She had all of her upper teeth removed, and all the molars and the canines on the bottom.
Both of her sisters came by to check on her this afternoon. They tried to comfort her the best they could. This has not been an easy day. :(

That is just heartbreaking.

I am pondering what to type because nothing I could say would even come close to how reading this made me feel, and I am sure it does not even come close to how you feel considering it is your daughter, your heart and soul, your baby.

I am not a parent so I can only try to imagine what you felt when you were at Walmart and you received her cry for help.

It all sounds so inhuman. I don't know what to say.

It is nighttime for you over there and I hope she (and you) will be able to get some sleep. I suppose it is much easier to control the pain with pain killers during the day as she will feel when it is time for the next one and to take into account the time it needs to kick in. When she is asleep she might not notice the build up of the pain until it wakes her up, then takes the pain killer and then have to wait before it finally kicks in.

When you read this I hope she feels a bit better.

I am thinking of you guys and I hope for a speedy recovery.

Much love.

Ohh Tiger I am hoping your daughter is doing better today.
