I have not started this in a while, so I figured today was the day.

I had such a good laugh yesterday, I have to pass it on.

My sister is 53 years old.  My father is in a Nursing Home.  My sister goes to see him daily.  On Saturdays she runs activites for the entire nursing home. 

My father has had a catheter for a while.  Recently, they took it out, but they drain him 3 times a day.  In addition, he can go on his own.  Evidently when they drain him, it hurts.  My sister went in to see him two weeks ago and asked him how he was.  He said "My penis hurts".  She told him that it would.  But still, every day when she asked him how he was he gave the same answer.  She posted on her Facebook she would like to go one week without a penis problem.  LOL.  Then she told me when she goes to visit, the nurses always ask her how his penis is.  She says a daughter just can not be comfortable talking about her father's penis every day, even if it is a medical issue.  Also, he went to mass on Sunday.  At the nursing home, the priest stands on the alter and has his microphone on prior to the service.  As people come in, he greets them over the microphone.  He saw my father being wheeled in in his wheelchair.  He says over the mike "Hi Mr. Trost, good to see you. How are you?"  My father responded loud enough that the mike picked it up "My penis hurts".  My sister says the priest's jaw dropped.

Otherwise, a pretty good day.  Got word from my company that I can start collecting my retirement pay even while I am working.  Since I will be starting it early, I forfeit 5% for each year early.  Since I am going to be 59 in April, I would forfeit 30%.  But I will get paid starting in April for six years before I turn 65.  I figured it out, I would have to live to be 81 to be losing money.  But meanwhile, I have six early years of money.  Guess what I am going to do.

Have a good day.  What's new with you?



GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!

Hi George, and all to come.

What a cute story I really laughed at that one.  I bet the priest was sorry he asked.  

It is hard when our parents get older.  It is sad that they need some help and we have to listen to them.  Sometimes they are like children blurting out things that are inappopriate.  Sometimes it can be a little risque.

I hope everything works out with your job.  Sounds like it.

We have so much snow here that it is hard to clean the driveway anymore.  The sides are piled so high, there is nowhere to push anymore.

I haven't planned out my day.  Lately I haven't felt like doing anything.  I don't know why.  I think I am just stressed out and lost my motivation.

I am going to try and do something constuctive today even if it kills me.  lol

Not sleeping well either.  Went to bed at midnight and up at 4.  Know wonder I am dragging.

Well, prayers for all, we sure can use them

Peace
Mary

I am on my way.  What a ride it has been.

It is probably hard to get motivated to do anything seeing all that snow out there.  Although, I would love it.

Just got up.  We don't need your snow.  It has not stopped snowing since I went to sleep.  It is a winter wonderland out there. 



GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!

Good morning George and all,

Thanks for sharing George. That started my day with a chuckle.

Last September my daughter gave me a gift certificate to Victoria's Secret. I have gone to the store several times but felt weird at the thought of getting fitted by a strange (very young) woman.

Finally, I decided this was silly and went in determined to get a new bra. It was easy. They do the measurements over your clothes. No problem with that.

She showed me several styles and off to the fitting room to see how they fit. Amazing how different styles fit differently.

Found a style I liked, chose a pretty red one and a pink one. I knew the gift certificate wouldn't cover the tax so I slide my Visa card, signed the slip and went home.

 Later that evening Tom asked why I didn't use my gift certificate to buy the bras. HUH? I pulled out the receipt and oh my goodness - the damned bras were $40.00 EACH!!! Faint
Even when I was a 46 D, I never spent that much. (I'm cheap) These itty bitty bras must be made of gold 'cause there's not much material in them.

Tom laughed. He was pleased that I finally have a couple of good fitting bras, happier at my boo boo.

BTW - the purchase included a free box of Godiva chocolates. Add insult to injury. How cruel.Teary

Kisses
Annette

My wife recently had to buy new bras.  I sent her to VS to make sure she was fitted properly.  She came home very happy.  She had her surgery 3 years ago and had not bought new bras.  I finally got tired of it.  She had gone from a 44c to a 40d.

I 'm sure Mary was pleased. A good fit makes such a difference. Over the past 3 years I have had to down size several times but never got a good fit. Went from 46 D to a 34 C .  The sales person said that was really too big but it felt good to me.

Some how I feel more strange discussing bras with you. You are a special brother.

I almost didn't post it because I did not want to make any of you gals uncomfortable.  I can discuss it because it is just a piece of clothing.  Except on my wife. Then it is a PIECE of clothing.



GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
