USMB Coffee Shop IV

[Big Black Dog]

Going to go down to the lumber yard today and get some new boards for my picnic tables. Time to change them out. I built three picnic tables 15 years ago and they are now beginning to look a bit "ratty". So, it's going to be a picnic table repairing kind of day here at the direction of Mrs. BBD. I will be well-supervised. Maybe I will get lucky and she will do the painting - well, putting the varnish on them if you want to call that painting. I suspect she will do more supervising than actual work so I shall see you all later in the day. Off to go out to lunch and then down to the lumber yard.

You should be okay with some exercises - just be sure to NOT bend over. Don't let the blood rush to your head and you'll be ok.

I'll be fine with going to class if I feel up to it. My mum needs to understand that I am responsible and I can make my own choices. I'm freaking 30 years old, I am not some immature teenager.
I have researched what I can and can't do, and I will be fine. Mum says that if I dare to go to class at all next week - she demanded I take the entire week off class - she will lock me out of the house, essentially forcing me to sleep in my car.

I pack my car up tomorrow in preparation. Its about time I stood up to her.

Go with how you feel, Noomi. Your body will tell you how much exercise it wants and needs. Just don't push the envelope for a couple of days. The anesthetic will take time to work it's way out of your system and so taking it easy initially is a smart move.

Yes. And if over activity interfere's with the body's ability to repair and heal itself, Noomie could have much more discomfort or complications with the extraction sites than would be the case if she allows her body time to do its thing. We don't have to be bed fast or immobile during the healing process--moderate activity usually actually helps--but the idea is not to exhaust resources the body needs to heal itself.

Well, yes, it's Friday, and Memorial Day weekend, so, I'm going to go out and do.... YARD WORK...

that's what I did yesterday, that's what i'll be doing again today. looks like its going to be another wet one. I guess i'll work on rock walls or something else I can do in the rain.

And since a little after 8:00 this morning, I've been helping a good friend put a new steel roof on his house, and will be back at it again tomorrow.

Does that sound like FUN? ...


I actually think it is. I love doing that kind of work.

Your mom is deranged, Noomi.

Tell her the next time she takes money from you, you will call the police.

Tell her if she screams at you or attempts to batter you, you will call the police for the last time she stole your money, and that you will file charges if she touches you.

She is eventually going to really hurt you physically if you don't stop her now.

And her mother will say, "fine, then pack your shit and get the hell otta my house."

She is 30 years old, so her mother is under no legal obligation to provide a roof over her head.

So if mom is really that big of a problem, the best thing Noomi should do is make getting her own place priority #1.

We got a little bit of rain this morning and promise of more....WooHoo!

I felt like doing this:

I agree with you 100%. The situation is toxic, but Noomi also needs to bring her mom to the attention of the police. Whether she lives at home or elsewhere, her mother will try to hurt her, and the police need to be aware.

Children still from parents all the time, but that Noomi permits her mother to steal from her is beyond me.

I actually think it is. I love doing that kind of work.

I put a new roof on a professor's house in the summer of 1984, I was 21 back then. Huge house, big roof, 90 degree heat. Fell through the roof at a weak spot over the kitchen, landed essentially on top of the sink, it hurt like hell. My prof decided to put in a sunroof over the kitchen! We still laugh about that one to this very day. That summer, I worked days at a tree nursery, played jazz gigs on the weekends and was a bouncer at a hot latina chica bar. (That was fun!) Damn, that was one hell of a summer.

You're lucky you didn't hurt yourself badly when you fell, but then, we are way more resilient at 21 than we are later on.....21 is a lot of fun, but I wouldn't go back for a minute.

Well, tonight is Foxtrot night with some very lovely ladies, I even took a longer shower for it!!! We are taking off in an hour to dance the night away. Hoping to feel like a 21 year old tonight!

 

[Foxfyre]

Stat can Foxtrot? I wonder if many Americans here would know how?

 

[Statistikhengst]

Stat can Foxtrot? I wonder if many Americans here would know how?

Lol. Out the door in 10 to go bar hopping in Cologne, one of those bars is a bar where they do Foxtrots and Tangos and music of that sort.
I even practiced the steps. Been a couple of years.

Going to be a late night. Woo hoo!

 

[007]

Stat can Foxtrot? I wonder if many Americans here would know how?

Wouldn't want to either...

But on a serious note, enjoy yourself, Stat. I'd have more fun watching than doing it.

Pics or it didn't happen

 

[Derideo_Te]

Stat can Foxtrot? I wonder if many Americans here would know how?

I most certainly can't! Being tone deaf means that I can't stay with the beat. Surprised that Mrs Te decided to keep me around given that I am useless when it comes to any kind of dancing that requires formal footwork. She was part of the ballet school crowd when I met her and they all used to go out and dance up a storm. No amount of coaching made any difference until one of them figured out that I was tone deaf. I guess I made up for it with my other talents!

The stealing is a control mechanism. Once Noomi moves that should stop, however a new tactic will take its place.

Once you're out, Noomi, limit your contact with her.

 

[Grandma]

I'll be here today and gone tomorrow. There are a lot of graves in East Liverpool to put flowers on.

Found this cruising around the net. Creative people are so cool! I love this sort of stuff!

Ceremony number one is part of history, a sad moment and a happy one.

Sad: the activities director neglected to inform me that one of the veterans passed away last night and I read off his name to receive a certificate of appreciation.

Happy: A Former marine in his 90's could not come outside for the ceremony because he had just been in the hospital and his doctor said no. So the vice Commander and I went to his room to visit him. His mind is still sharp, he remembered us from last year and got his second Certificate from us. He had last years proudly displayed on his wall. We chatted for a few moments then wished him well, and he took our hearts with 5 simple words; "I'll see you next year."

There is a veterans nursing home in Ft Lauderdale, Ollie. When I was in South Florida, part of our Memorial Day was to ride over with a couple hundred bikes for a chat with the vets and help those that were able to attend our celebration load into the vans. We spent as much time as possible with those who would be staying. There were a couple dozen or more WWII vets and a lot of Korean and Viet Nan era men and women.
They got a motorcycle and police escort, first to the cemetery for the VFW ceremony and then out to the 'Glades for the ABATE ceremony and party.

I can't understand parents that would do that to their child. I gave my kids money (way more than I should have) and I would've never considered it okay to take their money.

It may be Noomi's mom looks at it as "rent" money that she is due, but is not handling it properly.
