Independence Day
Good afternoon Trish and everyone....
I have to see how long I can post before another lock up!!
Trish...I am so glad you are having such a great time. You so deserve that!! I am sure the fireworks will be awesome....ENJOY!!
Vickie....I am shaking my head....you know why!! I hope you have a great day together with Chris, Benny Bop and precious little Budder!!! Please try to relax as you can. I am glad Butch is a bit better. You know how much I care!!! 
Judy...I think Rick has the right idea....I would let him do it but written a little less harsh. However, I agree that is all they seem to understand. I have no alcohol in my apartment. I really could go for a glass of wine. I haven't had a drink in so long. Enjoy your delicious ribs. I hope Rick doesn't burn them this time....LOL...I remember the last time!!!!
Jennifer...I hope you are having a good day too. Are you celebrating at all?? I have heard from all my grandchildren. They are always remembering me!! all five of them!!
Eileen....I am sorry you have to work tonight. I hope you got some good rest on your days off. I also hope that someone brings in treats for all of you!! I agree...if you feel comfortable with sharing your apartment with Richard it sure would help you both out!!!
As for me...I rested most of the morning. I am feeling very shaky today. I messed up on my Flexeril yesterday afternoon. I didn't think I took it and took it again. Then I remembered I had taken it with some Tylenol. I took it again at bedtime and probably shouldn't have. I am so sensitive to medications. I felt really weird for hours. I couldn't hardly walk. I never did make dinner. I had a protein bar instead. Then went to sleep. 
Wishing you all a glorious day!!! 
Prayers for our fabulous OFF family.
Much love and many hugs to all.....connie d
HAHAHAA Connie!!!! I WATCHED him this time!!!!!!!!! No burnt ribs today!!!!!!!!! LOL They came out perfect this time!!!!! Silly me thought we had enough BBQ sauce...nope...so I mixed two different flavors...came out ok though...one of the tenants stopped by on his way out asked what we were having because it smelled so good way over on his side...lol said it sounded good!! Yup it WAS good!!! I am mad at that tenant also...he was told to move one of his vehicles this morning to other parking area...he agreed...did he do it?? NO!!!!! I am pissed!!! I agreed to let him park it closer than way over on the over flow lot also!!!! He has it still in this lot tomorrow...there will be WAR!!!!!!!!!
As for the sign...Rick made on for the door that already says DO NOT DISTURB UNLESS IT IS AN EMERGENCY!!! do they stay away? NO!!!!!!!!! Told him he wasted good paper...lol.
Get some rest and I will go back to FB see if I can find a nice cowboy for you to snuggle up with...LOL
HUGSSSSSSSSSSSS
Arrrggghhh! I am so mad at my husband right now! I did go to the Y and go swimming with Chris and the boys and it was such fun. I was glad I went. Then I got home and guess what? My hubby, in all his infinite wisdom, decided that since the pain pills weren't helping, he would try whiskey instead. Grrrr. I HATE it when he gets drunk. I really, really do. He just gets STUPID with it. I went into the kitchen a while ago and the damn fool had turned the oven on to 500 F! I said, "WHY?" He wanted me to cook some rolls for supper. I said, "I can't put rolls in a 500 degree oven!" Oooo, I could just shoot him right now.
I may have mentioned before that my Daddy was an alcoholic. I lived my entire childhood with a man who drank himself insensible every night. I will NOT live with a husband who does so. I don't care if he has a drink, but I HATE it when he drinks himself stupid.
I told him, "If you fall down, I cannot pick you up." And I mean it. If he falls down, he can just damn well stay there all night!
Okay, rant over. But geez. I can't turn my back on him for a minute these days.
I probably ought to delete this, but I'm just too mad at him right now to care what others may think.
Vickie
Vickie: I already got mad at you for neglecting Butch to take care of Chris and her brood. Butch needs you now, and would not have done this had you been there for him....yes, am laying guilt trip on you.
Get your priorities straight and look after your hubby, not your daughter and her brood. She has her own family now....Don't go blaming your Dad for Butch's shortfall, he is in pain and you owe it to him niw, not fun with Chrissie and grands.
Now, Jen, I'm sure you mean well, but really, there's no way I can stop Butch from having a drink if he wants one. And I really don't care if he has a drink. What I object to is when he drinks too much; I can't stand it when he gets plastered. I don't do that; why should he? He's been saying for the past couple of days that if the pills didn't work, he was going to try whiskey. I thought he was kidding, but apparently not.
And I wouldn't pass up the opportunity to play in the pool with the boys for anything. They're only little once, you know? Besides, I was only gone an hour. In my opinion, I ought to be able to leave that man of mine alone for an hour. He was settled comfortably in the recliner watching TV when I left. The fact that HE decided to get on the whiskey is all on him, not me. He has a brain, he should use it.
Vickie
Thanks Jen. If you ask me, he was just waiting for me to leave so he could do something that he knew I would disapprove of! I know how his mind works.
I will say this: he was still in a lot of pain last night, so the damn whiskey didn't help much. Ha! And I hope he has one hell of a headache this morning. I would say it might teach him a lesson but I doubt it. He's almost 70 years old. God save me from stubborn old men!
