What's mildly irritating you today? - Page 165

Hang tough Dana - dunno what else to say. It sucks no matter what, but hopefully you can look back and focus on all the good times.

Oh, and an early Happy Birthday to you!

hey baby

Hey Dana, sorry I missed your birthday.
And sorry you had to try to stay awake rather than having time to yourself.

jujuwwhite · 02-23-2010, 12:55 PM

Just got bad news on my dad. I explained it all in my thread called caregiver for parents but to make a long story short...he is dying and there is nothing more that can be done other than to make him comfortable and try to keep him out of pain. The doctor said it was up to dad and to God.

The heart surgeon even told me that if dad stopped smoking at this very moment, it would not change anything because there is so very much damage done to his heart and veins. I had to be strong and break the news to my mom and even though she says she is prepared, she is still taking it very hard. They have been married 47 years and have never lived apart one from the other.

Thanks friends and especially thanks to my wonderful capnhowdy who is keeping me going!

Starts at 6pm, could well still be there at midnight.

Today's the first anniversary of Dad's death. Not that I'm particularly glum or even particularly thinking about most of te time. But I'd have liked to have a quiet night in tonight.

Tomorrow is my Birthday. I'll be spending tomorrow afternoon and evening sitting on the Planning Committee. Afternoon sitting 3pm-5.15pm. Then a meal then back in for the evening sitting 6pm- however long it takes, probably 9.30pm.

This is in the mildly irritating thread, because it is mildly irritaing to me the way these dates have fallen. I shouldn't complain. It's not as if i don't get paid. But i do feel a little like stamping my feet and shouting 'Not Fair!'

:P

Bummer Dana, meetings like that suck. Maybe you could liven it up and make it memorable by wearing your birthday suit.

It's a thought.

Some asshole in Europe stole my credit card number and racked up over $11,000 in charges before anybody noticed. It's a cut-and-dried case, obviously stolen and no way will I have to pay for any it, but I still gotta deal with the hassle.

SamIam · 02-23-2010, 05:46 PM

Goodness! How did someone in Europe manage to get hold of a credit card number from Austin? Or do you know?

Clodfobble · 02-23-2010, 05:58 PM

Online, I'm sure.

classicman · 02-24-2010, 08:59 AM

or so you say ... monsieur Toad

Clod - Some DH got mine in Niagara Falls a few years ago. Very similar thing. It sucks and it is a hassle. Sorry

One suggestion for all. If you use a credit card online get one with a $500 limit and keep it separate from your other accts. Use ONLY this one online. The damage, hassles and losses for everything and everyone will be infinitely less.
