Oh my. Wishing your dad well. I have not been following this thread as closely. Sending positive healing vibes your way.

Thank you so much. I’m trying to get everyone dressed to head back to the hospital as I type. Trying to eat something now because yesterday I forgot to eat.

I am so glad your dad is ok!!

Do I have a generator? Only the biggest one on earth LOL
It weighs over a ton, 8 feet long, they had to bring it in with a crane and it has a custom built concrete block for it
It's connected to our gas line underground, automatically kicks on when the power goes out and turns back off when the power is back. It's a life saver and a dream!
We lose power a lot in my neck of the woods, often for days, so it was a great investment.

Floods are bad, see I love storms but when they are damaging then of course no, that could have been dangerous! and to be pregnant oh I can imagine, awful

Here is my monster generator. It powers the whole house and yard

Thank you!
I’m glad you have a generator, I never worry about black outs, we usually have impromptu neighborhood parties as those without generators will flock to “hangout”.

That sounds like a fun time!
Summer the power rarely goes out, it's usually during blizzards and ice storms...wouldn't be much of a party unless we build igloo's lol

In the south ours usually go out for storms then people gather in garages or houses for various games cards dominoes etc food drinks I guess it is kind of fun. Except I usually don’t like to be too personal with my neighbors.

I'm not very chummy with my neighbors either. In the car we wave as we go by that's about it. One snow storm the power was knocked out for 4 days, I watched my neighbor and his family try to keep warm in their car, I felt so bad, we thought about letting them in, but then what? they live with us for 4 days? eek, I couldn't handle that.

We're getting another Nor'easter on Wednesday, they predict 6" of snow...joy

I doubt I would’ve offered either, I like to keep my neighbors at a hi and bye distance too. I mean if I saw someone breaking in their house I’d report it, but I don’t want to be bff’s. My DH has a bigger heart that way. I had to put my foot down because when I worked I’d come home and all the neighbor guys would be in my garage, in and out my house etc. I told him after working all day I wanna get comfy not tend to other men I’m not married to.

Ya I just heard more snow this week. But we are getting to the end of winter.

I was so stressed during this pregnancy, I was so grateful to her for coming to “help”. I still get upset thinking about it. Sad thing is her whole reason was that she was jealous of our life together. I told her we couldn’t be friends.

I’m currently at the hospital been here since 11, my dad was rushed to the ER and is being kept for observation. I’m so worried!

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. I hope he's improving & will be able to go home soon. It's so nice that you're so close you can be there for him! Family is so important!

WOW!!! Y'all sound like us!! We have a couple of neighbors that we're close friends with, do things together like dinners & weekend trips, look after each other's dogs, ect. The rest, we'll just wave as we pass by. The lady next door lives alone & we keep an eye on her house when she's out of town. I've gone to the pharmacy to pick up prescriptions & to the grocery store when she's been sick & couldn't get out. She doesn't have any family in the state but she knows she can call us anytime she needs us. She's a very private person & doesn't call often, but knows we're available. I have some neighbors that I don't know their names or have even spoken to them. We tend to keep to ourselves. Less drama that way. LOL

LOL that was a good way to put it. I wouldn't want to come home after a hard days work to a house full of people either, you want to relax!
I've always hated company over, and by company I mean my own family and in-laws. I just like being quiet and in my pj's, i'm not big on entertaining, plus is bothers my dogs, I see they get stressed out too.

Don't put your coat away just yet! In the north east we've gotten some pretty major snow storms on and around April 1st

Aaaargh!!! Don't know where my post went, but that's what I get for TRYING to post while underground!!! The MTA ate it (along with 90 MINUTES ON MY LIFE IN STALLS TODAY, all WITHIN Manhattan!!!)

I think I was saying, I haven't had anything exciting happen, blizzard-wise, excepting that time we had 3 in a row, and someone had totaled my car WHILE IT WAS PARKED!!! When I got there, half of it was missing, in a 4-5' snowbank!! Amazingly, 2 neighbors actually SAW this happen; left notes with the hit-and-run's license plate # in a zippered plastic baggie inside the car (well, what was left of it...) The police told me they wouldn't investigate because 'no one died' (THANK YOU NYPD...)





I know, that's why I'm so so so devastated- he was a tiny parrot, a lovebird. The vet seemed to act like he was geriatric, so I really have no idea about their life span as hand fed, tame, flighted house birds. He'd had a stroke or something this past fall, but since he recently was acting SO much better and playful, happy, I really thought he'd be fine. I'm so so so soooo devastated

Oh, goodness, my condolences. My mother had her cockatiel pass away a couple of years ago, and he was 21! They can live 25-27 years and the only sign of his age was that his little cheek patches had faded. My uncle also had an angelfish that passed away-they are only supposed to live 8 years- and his lived to be 19; he had gotten so old that he had lost all of the pigment in his scales and looked like an iridescent, almost glowing white ghost in the water.

Thank you so much, I count myself blessed. Even if my hubby didn’t have two dimes to rub together I know he actually loves me. Together we’d make sure that we’re ok! Some never find that. Yesterday I listened to my dad tell the nurse he’s been married to my mom for 59 years. She’s a wreck with him being in the hospital. I’m trying to help as much as I can, it’s 1am and I’m just getting home. I’ve been on my feet so much today that they are super swollen and tingly.

I tried reaching out to my ex bf to offer my condolences, her hubby of not even 2 years went to work one day and just dropped dead. I can’t imagine what she must be going through! Even after what she did to me my heart aches for her.

Thank you, it’s a very scary time for us. My dad is almost 78 and I’m not ready to lose him. They kept him yet another day.

You have THE biggest heart, and THE most beautiful family . When I lost my father I sobbed incessantly for weeks- he lived in another country and had a heart attack. I loved him dearly but he hasn't spent 17 straight years with me like my dear bird!!! Hope your father recovers quickly.

I feel your pain. It’s devastating to lose a companion of any kind. Nothing will ever replace your sweet bird but have you considered getting another baby to raise?

Oh no! So sorry about your parrot.

Eventually I'm hoping- but I won this bird in a raffle!!! No idea where to even begin finding a tame bird to hand-feed. I still miss this bird terribly, not sure if I can!!

This makes me LOL bc my DSO moved here from a very friendly, small community. I had to scream at him when he'd tell random strange neighbors our business!!! Where we were going/in/out of town, etc. - I died a million deaths!!! I'm all for 'friendly', but TMI is frankly dangerous sometimes, situationally, for random strangers!!! I had to tell him that our idiot neighbor downstairs used to blab that he was out 'on the road' for x-amt of time- he ended up coming home to an EMPTY apt!! Apparently they just walked out the front doors with EVERYTHING. Ridiculous.
Good thing we're nowhere near that place anymore!!!

Blah!

Aw!!! That is exactly why I'm shocked & devastated- mine was a smaller parrot, a lovebird- the vet seemed to act like he was 'old', but then again I am very upset and resentful of my mother's ineptitude and evasiveness over what exactly happened while she was bird-sitting a few weeks over the summer, when he came back with a head tilt. After I retrieved him, she finally admitted to having excessively fed him all sorts of AWFUL foods I specifically told her NOT TO feed him, and leaving him in the cage. He hadn't flown in 6 wks!!! Wondering if a heart condition could have developed from that time, since he was absolutely fine before then. Devastated; its neither here nor there; just trying to move on and not dwell on these things. Frankly I'm relieved someone else raised me. Long story longer, after much research he got tremendously better- I thought I'd have him at least another 10-20 yrs. So sad, so sad. It's exhausting.

Thank you so much! Last night my mom took all the kids to her house and I was sitting in the hospital with my dad playing dominoes (trying to keep his mind off things, while also keeping his mind active), we had a blast! Once the cardiologist cleared him to leave, my aunt contacted a friend of his physician to see if he’d issue a phone release which he agreed to. So I dropped my dear old dad off at home where he was very happy to get in his own bed! I too was happy to take my little fam home and relax!!! He was given orders to follow up with a few things on an out patient basis, hopefully all will be good from here!

Thank you, that really made my day. I’m sorry about your father, regardless of what we go through with them it’s hard to lose a parent.
I try to be a good person, but sometimes I definitely fall short. I think the sweetest compliment I’ve ever gotten was when I helped this sweet elderly lady put groceries in her car, she said to tell my parents they raised me well, melted my heart!!!

I hope you begin to feel better soon. It’s so amazing how our fuzzy companions are able to imprint on our hearts in such profound ways!!!
