Not riding, just blowing snow

 

Still around, just no news.

 

I'm trying to stay warm and counting down to PHX visit ... 9 days.

 

Was 80 degrees here yesterday. Have not heard the high today. Guess Al Gore is happy.

 

sixtys. I'm sitting near the wood stove on a gloomy, miserable day. Looking for something on duh internetz to cheer me up!

 

Morning all:
Watched both playoff games yesterday, thought they would be a lot closer than what they were!

 

Hi Carl, I watched them both as well. I was disappointed that Pittsburgh didn't do better. I just have a dislike for Belachik and Brady. Was hoping it would be Steelers and Atlanta. Hope the Super Bowl isn't a blow out. Windy and raining here. Miserable day.

 

Trying to upload a vid from my iPhone to youtube. Says it is doing it but sits there and spins its wheels at the end.

 

I always end up calling the grand kids Dave. .

 

Been off the net for a few days. After a horrendous weekend of trying to help my Mom manage her panic as she struggled to get oxygen, I was with her as she peacefully left this earth on Tuesday. She chose the 20th anniversary of my Dad's death to join him. Still numb, still haven't let the emotions out. Focused on the few administrative details left to do.

Here's my gift to the younger folks from her. Don't smoke!!! She did for 60 years until a stroke forced her to stop. In the end, it wasn't even the breast and lung cancers that took her - it was the COPD that destroyed her lungs. Don't put your family through what I faced this past weekend as she stared at me, eyes pleading for me to help her get oxygen...wracking me with guilt that I couldn't do anything but hold her as the morphine and anti-anxiety meds put her to sleep.

F***.

 

Sorry for your loss, Mark. Hang in there.

 

Morning all:
Sad to hear Mark.

 

So sorry to hear of your Mom passing Mark. My sinewest condolences.

 

i am so sorry Mark.
i am the only one in my family that doesnt smoke.
i guess im thankful i had ashma growing up. no way was i thinking of smoke in my lungs
my sincere condolences sir..

 

So sorry for your loss Mark. You only have one mother and I lost mine on Thanksgiving Day 2012.

May the Comforter give you peace in the days ahead.

For a long time I would think about calling her only to remember that I could not. I could not bring myself to delete her phone number from my cell phone but eventually I realized it was time and did so as I stood next to her grave. Hopefully this will help you understand that time is a great healer and better days are ahead.

My deepest condolences and prayers are with you.

 

So sorry to hear Mark... BTDT and it sucks. Condolences to your family.

 

I guess I should sign up here...just turned 60 and cannot imagine how I pulled that off... I was just 40 the other day....!

 

welcome from a wanna be. They let me hang around as long as I don't cause trouble. What part of the country are you from?

 

Tonight's Guest Editorial; Dreary Winter days where it's not sure if it wants to rain, or snow, or just be cloudy and raw are the WORST!! Yuck!

 

Welcome, pull up a chair on the porch, just don't forget to fill the cooler up first!
