And a special good night to our fearless founder.![]()
Night gramva ... and who else is leaving it to the night shift?
Sea, my occupation just might have been a factor in my aches. Diagnosed with shoulder tendinitis. I get by. And, not quite 60, but closing in on it.
I was a vegetarian from 1969 to 1981.
JaG, around here they say a boat is a hole in the water where you put your money. LOL.
Hope you have a good Thursday.
I should have you as a financial adviser. I'm not too swift, historically, in taking advantage of benefits I'm entitled to. It is crunch time though. Nearly too old to make the move, I've gotta do it in the next few years or forget it and die here in Hell.NCC, maybe when you get 62, you can go to the dr and get a disability claim and draw almost the same amt you could if you waited until you were 65. Then you could move to OR with a steady income coming in. Also, you can still work part time. If you work full time, they will deduct from your check. If you make too much for SS, then they will just put it on hold until you are no longer making that much money.
EDIT: I was talking about social secuity checks, not disability.
Good night JaG. Have a peaceful evening - like your cute avi!
And there's the rub. It's an issue, for sure. I don't have an answer. I DO have three adult sisters who live in town though.What if you move, NCC, will your mother move with you?
Goodnight Sea and NCC and whoever is reading!
May childlike dreams dance through your slumber tonight...
Not to worry Sea. Wouldn't be human otherwise, heh. I don't suppose you'd want to share? Shame NCC, shame!LOL, JaG - I went white in the face when i read this. I had a dream the other night, and believe me, it wasn't childlike - an adult dream would be more like it. I think I need to get out more often, LOL.
I am sadly ill equipped for the task. She's 84, and so far is doing very well for her age. She still drives and does well, considering. I visit her a couple times per week to check on her and help her with common tasks. As you've inferred, she relies on me to a degree. I am not comfortable skipping town without someone agreeing to take up the slack.When an elderly mother starts feeling and showing her age, she will need extra help with her hygiene, so your sisters would be the better pick there. Before my father passed away, Hospice helped him with his hygenic needs. He was so ill at the end that they were here daily for those chores. For the rest of the day, I hired neighbors to spend the entire day with him.
You would need to have a guy who also values his quiet times, and understands your need for the same.I'm not sure that I'm really marriage material b/c I do really treasure my quiet times.
