get one of those microwave heat pads, or electric is fine, moist heat
heat that up and wrap a scarf around your neck to keep the heat pad on if you are a multi tasker and have to vacuum kitty littter and other silly chores. those swollen nodes just need some heat to help them drain. This time of year is ear and lymphnode party time
If you like jigsaw puzzles, try www.jigsawplanet.com. I try to do the 300 rotation pieces puzzles. It'll take 4 hours. Good time waster, but can be a drain on the eyes. Thanks for the other links of the puzzle games!
"I sit around a lot and feel sorry for myself. my younger daughter has removed me from her life and I can not see the grand babies ever again."
I'm sorry Rosemary. This should not be. You will see, someday the younger daughter will regret it. We humans have a hard time changing don't we? I kinda yelled at my mom yesterday as I was caretaking her because I was tired of how she only cares about herself. I told her she needs to start thinking of other people and start being thankful for what people do for her. She didn't talk to me for the rest of the day - it was actually quite peaceful. Sometimes God grants us peace, even if it means toxic family members are removed from our lives at times.
yes, I have to admit I did make some "toxic statements" in emails but only in response to the very insulting statements made by my son in law.
I should have done a few things differently but ..... I have been taking care of my parents for 10 years, We did not always agree but we were very close and laughed and adored each others company. When we did not agree or felt threatened we would always joke and laugh it off.
my entire family is liberal. After Trump won in 2016 my dad and I were walking to the cafe getting his dinner. He said, "you are the only one that is happy that Trump won" - he was 96. I said, well, maybe a few other people. I mean why get angry or upset by that kind of grumpy statement, he was grumpy about it.
It does not mean anything. We all lash out. We say things and later wish we did not respond so silly and annoying.
My younger daughter and her husband are very immature.
At the root of this, I think.... I said something to my older daughter shortly after the main disagreement and chastising. I said, I wish Lizzie and Jerome never met and married. I said that to Christina. I know Christina regrets telling Lizzie that but she did. I think that is the biggest blow to my son in law and there will be no apology accepted
Some people just can't accept apologies and that is their issue, not the issue of the person apologizing. As you say that is the sign of immaturity. It takes alot of years and heartache to realize how much time we waste trying to prop our pride up. I used to be one of those people who never apologized and wouldn't accept an apology from others (not that many people apologized to me). Now I'm learning to be quick to apologize and move on when others can't accept my apology. As you say, we all say things in the heat of the moment. It shouldn't destroy relationships forever especially when we regret it and express that regret. But relationships take two to work at them and we can only do our part. Someday you and your daughter and grandkids will be together again. I can guarantee it!
How pretty you are! Pug, thank you for giving us the gift of your face--now when I pray for you (as I do) I can envision a person instead of just an idea.
This was excellent and inspiring. I concur, God has our backs. Even though I live in constant pain from an adverse reaction to fluoroquinolone antibiotics, the blessings God pours out into my life are countless. Actually, it took a while, but I realized that this horrible terrible awful miserable crappy experience was for my benefit and then, by extension, for the benefit of those I can inspire in similar fashion to you here now. I'm trying to change the world on a macro level with my new word coincidism, describing people who blame things like medical harm or dead fish downstream from a factory on coincidence. Each of us who are aware of what is going on are ding what we can, and it's working. A lot more people are waking up. A lot more people are coming to the Lord. When everything is going well, most people feel they have no need of God, but when things get crazy bad they do. My experiences with FQs prepared me for this PHEIC pandemic and I recognized it as the same gaslighting I'd been dealing with for decades as it set in everywhere. I do have a meager disability check coming in for now, but I am confident God will take care of me even if they cut me off for being an anti-vaxxer. God will provide, and if He doesn't, I'll starve to death and join Him in heaven. My health is so bad that in all honesty, I'd just as soon wake up dead tomorrow as alive. I'm torn between praying for grace and assistance with the things He's called me to do here and praying for an end to my pain and suffering. I realize I fall far short of Christ and need to suffer some more to become the man God wants around him until the end of time. Not really quite there yet...
I hear you Mark. I used to say "if God doesn't give me my daily bread, I guess I will end up under a bridge, or I will freeze to death in the middle of winter." That was before I had the faith in God that I have now (after the Covid Clown show).
Does God want me to live under a bridge and freeze to death? Probably not. As of today I am not under that bridge and I have a roof over my head, and for that I need to praise and thank God. I need to live in the "present now", not in the "may happen future."
I am so sorry about your health problems. Having health problems sucks any joy out of daily living. Jesus healed when he walked the Earth and he still heals, even if his healing is just helping each of us deal with the daily physical pain.
BTW, I knew last night was going to be bad for me because of this post praising God. Every time I publically praise God, the demons and Satan mess with me. Right before I went to bed I asked God to help me with the attack coming my way. I woke up at 10:30 pm with a massive sinus headache, I could not sleep. I got up at 2:30 am after sitting in agony in my bed for 4 hours. Of course my special needs cat Rusty threw up spittle, then pooped on the kitchen rug. I prayed to God to get me through the morning. Slowly my sinus headache is going away...very slowly.
I know what you mean, sometimes it is all too much.
It's always surprising the way the enemy will attack while we serve the Lord. Most of my computer issues over the years have occurred whilst trying to post prayers or bible studies and so on. At first it's surprising, but quickly it's obvious what is happening. I like the analogy that if you are getting flak you are right over the target. I pray today goes pleasantly for you and that you are able to accomplish much.
Yes. What you said. ❤️
oh the swollen neck lymph nodes.
get one of those microwave heat pads, or electric is fine, moist heat
heat that up and wrap a scarf around your neck to keep the heat pad on if you are a multi tasker and have to vacuum kitty littter and other silly chores. those swollen nodes just need some heat to help them drain. This time of year is ear and lymphnode party time
I love you Pug, I love your sister Napoleon and your momma and your Orange Rusty cuddles
Keep doing.
At least you applied for jobs hahahaha not me
I sew a lot, I make piles of quilts and other cluttery things.
My hubbs plays with electronics mostly phones and computers and apple stuff
I do puzzles.. Which kind are your favorites. I have been doing to free ones on NY times web site
After I play the game (I always win, sometimes rarely I have to cheat)
and I am also playing the Yukon game at Solitaired dot com
After each game, win or lose, I say "stupid game"
You and me would get along great. A house full of yous and mes would be fantastical.
God does have our backs. No worries.
Hubbs and I are still in this big stupid family house. I need to down size.
i try to do some every day, then I slacked off.
I hope you have a wonderifical and happy snappy day
Love, Rosemary

Awesome🙏🙏💖
Compare Jesus' big eye in the peephole of our micro lives with Caesar's big eye on the macro world's printed money. I'll go with Jesus everyday!
yes me too.
I LOVE THIS!!!!✝️💝💜💖🦋🌻GOD IS GOOD!!!!✝️✝️✝️

Thank you for the kind comment!
Thank you for sharing your experiences with life and God will surely continue to bless you with your loving attitude.
