[Flowersoul]

In memory of Dave (Bells), a couple o' pics of part of my Father's Day gift from my girls:

This is a Pork Bolognese Pasta casserole made from a Hello Fresh meal kit. Keep in mind, I'm a 'toss together what ya got available and make it taste good' kinda guy.

But our girls knew that Patty and I aren't dining out any more, so they chipped in for an HF membership. Was somewhat skeptical until I opened today's delivery and started following directions. Actually, the preps, steps and times were pretty much on. Must say the Marinara sauce was super.

Patty now has at least two lunches fer next week!

Will I continue the membership once this one expires? Chances are... probably not. It's not too expen$ive, but also not e¢onomical.

Anyone noticed the SILICONE HANDLE COVER on the skillet? They're on $ale now, two fer $5.99. Luv 'em; heat protection and surer grip!

PSA: Please remove silicone handle cover after putting skillet in da oven!!!

Luv y'all... later...

Iffy, what a thoughtful gift from your daughters! The dishes do look good, but I agree that the plan is not economical, but maybe a once/twice a month treat?! The company probably doesn't even offer that option.
Glad you enjoyed it.

Have had you on my mind lately!

I seem to be slipping back to the place I've been before, that is ,to say I don't feel like I'm getting better and I don't want to be here anymore. I don't like it but that seems to be where I'me heading. I just don't feel like I'm even alive.The world wouldn't stop if I wasn't in it by any means.

Pat, I agree with what has been posted above......we care for you, and if for no other reason, think of your family and the grief they would feel if anything were to happen. Help is available, if only to air your feelings to a professional. They can and do help!!

Does anyone have any ideaas that actually work. Get me out of this dark place please. It just seems to be getting worse.-+

Legs, I certainly haven't gone through anything like you're going through but the medication I'm taking does often send my brain into very dark, irrational places. TV or a DVD sometimes holds my attention for a while. Doing chores allows my mind to wander though unless they're challenging.

Playing Angry Birds helps a lot since I find it funny and if you don't pay attention the pigs win. Perhaps a video game you like? Speed solitaire?

You used to do great reviews on vape gear. You have any new shiny stuff to test out? You used to love doing it.

Knowing your political bent, here's a thread you might really enjoy that will keep you busy with a lot of good links, not all political, and some funny stuff. Be aware that there are usually a couple of trolls on there so recognize who you can trust before clicking on a link. "Cyn!" and "Syndrome" you can trust and post a lot of interesting links. I just read, don't post there. I think you'd like it and it will keep your brain from going to the dark places. https://www.oregonlive.com/comments...nion/2019/06/an-open-thread-for-comments.html

Hope you feel better soon and post here more often.

Well my injury has taken a welcome change. My sons what should have been wife by now, they have 2 kids. I found out she does care giving, I gave her my name and tried her out yesterday. She is fantastic. She put me on a plan to gain weight and will fix all meals just have to eat. Did I say she is fantastic. Plus I get the family discount. She is state certified

I tell you this gal is fantastic. Me and my son have kind of been on the outs for 3-4 years and now I know why and it is not what I thought. She is so good at this.

Pat,

What a welcomed piece of grand news! Ya know the porches have been hoping for just such a ray of 'light' from your mind and attitude.

Although we try in our own ways to encourage you, it's a biatch when we don't have the right combination of words to assist you. In this case though, your encouragement was right there within 'house'; what blessings. Please, just take time to count 'em!

If ya would, keep us posted as to your well being!

They'd call it vaping today and would ban it if medication was added...

Nah, they just call it a nebulizer and make it prescription only.
