Chit Chat 2023

Good afternoon, Naiwen!

Yay the internet is back.  Lost landline and internet during the storm this morning.  Kept power thank goodness.

Good afternoon beautiful Shouters!

We had a storm continue for several hours and dumped almost 4 inches of rain since midnight.  We needed rain but not floods.  Garden is going to love the rain.

So THAT's what happened!  Thanks for telling us!

It's good to see you back again Glad. Yes the garden will love the rain. We had rain and hail here the other day.

Good afternoon all.

Hi all!  I'm a little stressed right now, but I'll be okay.  Will be going to work today.
Yesterday started off badly, when Sheri called me to say she was ready to leave.  I said hello, and she didn't answer right away, so I again said "Hello".  She replied "What's wrong with your phone?".  I said "I don't know."  She asked again.  Again, I said I don't know.  A third time, she asked.  Thinking she was having trouble hearing me, I shouted into the phone "I don't know!"  Immediately, she replied "Don't you shout at me!  Don't you ever shout at me!"  I tried to explain that I thought she couldn't hear me.  She told me I was lying.  Said "Never do that to me again!" I again tried to explain, and she interrupted with You lost your temper!  Never do that to me again!  Understand?!"  I sheepishly replied yes.  She told me she was ready to go, so I told her I was going out to the car.  Our ride to work {she drives- my car} started out in stony silence.  Finally, I told her that since she hadn't worked the day before, I didn't know what change the girls had left in the till.  That I had a roll of quarters in the car, and 15 ones, if she needed them.  She said thank you, and it turned out she needed the quarters.
She said she was hungry, and onion rings sounded good.  Asked if she gave me the money, would I go to the soda fountain at the drug store for some chicken strips and onion rings, just a block away, within walking distance. I did, but I forgot, and got french fries instead.  I said I'd go get onion rings, and she said no- that this was okay.
After eating some of it, she gave me the rest.
Then, on the way home, she stopped by her Son's house to let Princeton, her dog, run in the back yard.  Told Princeton her Son's dogs, Fonzi and Chachi, wouldn't be there.  I thought I'd heard her Son's wife's mother's Sister say at the birthday party that she would come get the dogs, as Sheri's Son was working.  We took Princeton to the backyard, and Sheri went in the house, then found that the dogs were home, and let them out to play with Princeton.  She told Princeton that she didn't know the dogs would be home.  I then commented I  thought I'd heard that someone was going to come get the dogs.  Sheri snapped that  Sylvia was going to come get them in the  morning. "Why don't you listen?  You think you know everything!" (That's another story about her thinking I think I know everything, being the narcissist I am.)
Anyway, to make a long story short (too late), I've been berating myself, thinking I can't do anything right.

Sadly, it almost sounds like Sheri is suffering some form of Manic mood swings. It doesn't sound like a hormone imbalance, where a person stays in an ill mood, but bursts like that, over simple things, usually points to a problem bubbling beneath the surface. The outbursts are usually brought on by other stress in their environment.

Hang in there.

Thanks, Windwalker.  I needed that advice from one trained in handling these types of situations.

Good morning all.

Hi Naiwen!

Good morning to one and all. I hope the day goes as you wish. We may get some rain.

Good morning Windwalker.

It is going to be a beautiful day in Missouri.  We are in the upper 60's currently with low humidity. Nice!

Good morning all.

Today went well.  Guess I won't be going in tomorrow.  Sheri said I can stay home, that Jodi will be there working with her tomorrow. (Jodi doesn't like me.  She'll probably try to talk Sheri into not taking me with her anymore.)

I'm running slow today. Did a lot yesterday, and woke up really tired.

Good afternoon all.

Drove to walmart at 6 this morning.  I was out of Peach Sparkling Water, which is pretty much all I drink anymore.  I picked up a couple other things.  Then I got some Yogurt, and fairlife milk for Sherry.  Left it by her door.

Looking forward to going to the pub for lunch today.

Everyone have a lovely day.

I often go to the saloon across the street from Sheri's work for lunch..

Good afternoon all. A bit hotter here today and will be the rest of the week too.

Chit Chat. I was takin' a bath, long about a Saturday night! I sing that when I come to this thread. (Sung to music of Bobby Darrin's Splish Splash)
Last I knew, Sheri was going to have her Grandson today; so taking the day off work.

Good morning all.

Good morning from Iowa.

Hello Naiwen, Margie!  I guess I'm staying home today.

I'm tired, and the day just started. Fed the Chickens, dogs, cat, Chinchillas. Rest a bit and then start on the kitchen.

I know the feeling Windwalker.  Hope your day gets better for you.

I think I'm going to work today....

Awwww LFF take the day off you have my permission!

I just had 2 days off!

Good morning,
After reaching over 34C yesterday today's high of 25C will be a welcome relief. Been a busy week as I am doing a bunch of themes for a forum I am a member of not to mention trying to add some new ones to my own board.

Hope everyone is keeping well.

Good afternoon all.

Looking forward to our afternoon walk today.

Everyone have a good day.

I think Glad is having trouble with her phone and internet

Not internet but laptop battery won't charge past 33%

Tried calling you, Glad.  No answer.  Thats why I thought your internet wasw down.

Thanks LFF and I enjoyed our phone visit this evening.

Don't know if I'll be going to werk today or not.  Yesterday, Sheri invited her Grandson 9 12 years old) to come to the store tomorrow with her.

Good afternoon. Pretty warm out there today. I'm staying inside.

A little after 10 this morning, Sheri called and told me "You don't have to come in today.  My Grandson is coming with me."
I guess Saugatuck is getting hammered with Thunderstorms.  Might not be a good day for business there.

Hi Naiwen!

Sheri came home early.  Closed about 3.  Guess her Grandson was bored.

Good morning all.

Had to run an errand this morning. Thank goodness the truck still has AC. Made it back home and sitting here in the coolness. Sipping Iced Tea. 97F here already at 10 am

Hi all!  Just got home.

Bet you are tired LFF.

'Taking care of business ' is very tiring.  keeping quiet is the hardest part.I ate and drank nothing from 9 a.m till 6:30 p.m.

It was nice to wake up on this Friday feeling better than I have in a month. Staying away from doctors is probably the secret. Have a super day, everyone.

Had my Honeycomb cereal, so I should be set for the day.
Have a good day all!

Good morning all.

Hi Naiwen!  I just got home from work.

Good morning to all. I'm pretty sure, I broke my little toe ramming it into the door frame. Not positive, but I don't remember being able to turn it 90 degrees out from the foot. LOL

Mornin' Windwalker and all!
Sheri stopped by and told me she's going to breakfast for her birthday with her Son and Grandson.  Then she'll go to work from there, so I can stay home today.
