Sometimes I think about weird shit and then relay it to you, here, and when I get to the post button, sometimes I click it and sometimes I don't. I woke up this a.m with a Mac Lethal song stuck in my head called Jake + Olive. That's not the weird part.
I always wake up with random songs in my head. Often times I'm I didn't know I knew the words to this as I'm karaoke'ing the whole thing, doing my best Usher impression across the kitchen tile while emptying the dishwasher.
Give it a listen. The song's 11 years old. Track 12 on Irish Goodbye.
It's about his grandparents, the love they shared and how they impacted his life well into their 80's before leaving this world within weeks of each other. Chorus goes:
Satisfied unless I live
My life with you, don't wanna
Live one single day apart
I hope I die before you do
It's not the lyrics that trip me out or the dying part per se. It's the if she dies before me part that I wouldn't mind erasing the possibility of.
I get all selfishly jealous when I hear that song. Jake + Olive had Mac Lethal, more than likely a handful of grandkids, children of their own and whoever else to take care of them into their 80's. Not I. If Pura dies before me, I'm fuuuuUuuUuU.u..
We both have a couple life insurance policies which, by the way, iThink should be called death insurance. Hold, please, I'm about to go off on a tangent.
Why in the hell they call a service that isn't required to fulfill itself until you're dead, life, is weird like those long ass tarantula eyelashes chicks glue to their face. They should call it death insurance. Or dead or dying or anything other than life. Life is deceiving. Anywho..
She's set to collect half of my pensions, the max allowable, and is beneficiary of my IRA when I'm no longer around to whip up sentences like this. That and a couple death insurance policies, the house is covered and, other than my chivalric omnipresence stripped from her life for eternity, she'll be fine.
Myself, however, should she check out first.
FuuUuUuu..
Cough!
I can't find the mustard without a map.
Send me for provolone, I'll just tell you right now, they don't have any.
Good thing she thinks I'm funny!
I didn't used to be so domesticated. I didn't even drink coffee before her and now I drink the stuff until noon with a most likely venomous concoction of coffee and coffee creamer and, if that's not anti-bachelor enough, I know what a duvet cover is and can be spotted on any given day comparing ingredients from one bag of dog food to the next in public.
Quiche, lasagne, twice baked potato, pizza from scratch, I used to do all that stuff. Now I'm lucky to put together a PB&J without fuckin something up. She'll call me sometimes if we're separated and she stops by the market, "do we need anything?"
Como?
I don't even know what we have.
I'm a helluva timer setter though! When she's got something in the oven or on the stove and needs a timer, she'll be like "set one for 40 minutes." Under most circumstances, I do exactly that, my intentions never go astray. I'll even scroll the timer to the precise minute she requested but about once every 20 times I forget to click start and we aren't alerted to my error until the oven's coughing like a Cheech and Chong flick.
Ever get about 648 words into your article and never said what you meant to say in the first place?
Make that 671.
Vegetable quiche—she made that. She'll never do dishes. No way. Not on my watch. She's a chef, makes me all kinds of delicious immune system boosting wholesomeness.
Or open doors. Not on my watch. Lift heavy, be cold, take the garbage out—no way, hell no, are you out of your skull?!
Protection, that's what I bring to the table along with attentiveness, admiration, compassion, desire, security, respect, all the normal stuff I appreciate equally but she has to know she's protected everywhere she goes and she does. Physically, emotionally, spiritually, I got her back.
Pump gas, never. Go down to the mailbox, only if she wants to. Stress, struggle, stumble? Not on my watch.
It's what I do—keep her safe and laughing. What makes her happy makes me happy and I still haven't said what I meant to say when I started this.
If she dies first.
Nearly a thousand words and however many images later and all I managed to do is avoid it. Even in a room full of virtual strangers, when I try to put the thought of her leaving before me in words, this is all I got.
Hey man, I gotta check in with you I got some funny memes that I saved just for you.
My two favorite pictures here: shooting shit in the field and that dope ass library! Damn, with the words bibliotech I'm thinking it's somewhere in Europe cause America doesn't have dope ass libraries like that.
Keep your chin up man!
That's so cool you noticed. I'm gonna do an article on that library one of these days. You can't go down inside, it's for resident students only, that landing is where tourists go.
Pura was all about seeing it. Amsterdam; Weed, Rembrandt, waterways, shrooms, brothels, so much cool stuff.
Silly me didn't know they have the coolest library too.
Thank you.
Shit, man, I think I got a little piece of quiche in my eye. Hang on...[smiling face with tear emoji can you feel it?]
I think in general women are supposed to outlive men, and if they don't, the men typically join their spouses shortly thereafter, so you won't be lonely for long. Probably just put off dying, both of you, for as long as you can.
Your love is beautiful. And your ingredient-checking is love. And coffee is the shit, especially with cream, but not with sugar unless there's chocolate and cinnamon to go with it. Pinch of salt, too.
I forget sometimes that I'm a girl and that saying things like "your fuuuuuu's look really cool" tends to not come across the way I intended, but it's true, your fuuuuuuuuu are really neat. They look like a piano keyboard losing its teeth. No I'm not high.
High. I am. But not before 7. It's the best I can do.
Good morning, Crow Lady. I saved this comment for last. I got a little mushy didn't I? Hope it doesn't tarnish my ganksta persona...
Cough!
So you like my fuuuu eh? Nothing to be embarrassed about, my fuuu's pretty exciting, everyone should see it at least twice. = }
Ok, I'm out of character now. Thank you. We don't do sugar either. There isn't any in this house. You know that coffee mate French vanilla creamer then, yeah? DanDays totally hearts that stuff. Like, I don't even really need the coffee part but I don't wanna bring attention to myself so I pretend to do it like everyone else.
Ever had Turkish coffee? I mean, coffee at a Turkish joint? They add pepper and cardamom. I just reminded myself how much I miss it.
Happy Friday, Subie buddy.
In my experience, a lot of da gangstas are big softies, so your persona is reinforced, not tarnished at all.
I DO know that French vanilla coffee mate, but I'm not a sweet coffee person, so I don't really know it in the biblical sense. Or I do, maybe, if I want to say I have known it, since it has been in my body before. Totally consensual, but it wasn't long before I realized I could never get the creamer to stop being sweet and vanilla-y and that I was the one who would have to change by saying goodbye. Not that I've never liked a sweet cup o' joe. But those days are behind me.
You didn't need to know all that. But you're such a good listener, I couldn't help myself.
Not sure if I've actually had REAL Turkish coffee, just Turkish ground the way my dad's ex made it. I even have a Turkish coffee pot, and used to put spices in my coffee, but never realized that there was actually a special recipe for Turkish coffee. There's a cool Turkish coffee bus right across the street. I could go out and make that happen tomorrow if I wanted...
Also don't really think you were mushy at all. Real, more like it. If ever I become a wife or have a wife or any kind of spouse or partner or SO (without the B), that's the kind of love we're gonna share. So there.
My Subaru says hi to your Subaru.
Alright, well, seems you're not done with me yet.
So, I'll start like this and tell you how when I read the first paragraph, I was gonna respond something like this is worth $100. Laughed my ass off the second paragraph thinking a couple things: She's really good at English - That's funny, I'm reading it again. I did.
LoL'd loud enough on paragraph 3, Pura's "??"
Then she pointed out how it wasn't Turkey where they made it with cardamom and pepper but Morocco. Oops. She can't help it, makes me look good everywhere I go.
Happy whatever day this is - D and A
MmpMmp - Subaru
Hrrght - Atlas
I can't just read a comment like that and not acknowledge it, so consider this an acknowledgement. Now I'm done.
Gonna try Moroccan coffee.
My phone will die soon. No insurance policy so I will work on bring it back to life so I can make a better comment. This is the most heartfelt post ive skimmed through from you😅 You are a true inspiration. Love your love for Pura!
How's the phone doing?
Heart what, felt? That was supposed to be funny lol ha ha.
Whaddup sir. Real cool you enjoy what I say, thank you. I haven't heard that song in awhile. I'm pretty sure each time I hear it it does that to me and I get all caught up in my own head.
Devil music!
Its was almost charged but now out n about. Its at 10% now. Bringing charger though.
Seriously though, happy wife happy life!
Good thing she thinks I'm funny! Enjoy them days off.
This!!! 🌟🌟🌟
This is, simply, one of the most awesome posts I’ve ever read. You are awesome, and your wife sounds super-awesome. And a love like that can never be made, it can only be found…and you’re as awesome as hell. Glorious words, all 1000nd of them! 💕❤️💕❤️🥰🥰🥰❤️🥰💕❤️☕️🥰☕️☕️☕️🌿❤️💕💕❤️🌿
That virtual pressure on your cheek was me.
I can't, don't, haven't figured out a way to say thank you for being so nice.
<3
Man, Such a Lovely Couple you are! Wholesomeness at it's Peak In this post... She's truly a loveable character.
Respect +++ bro! Stay blessed and happy forever.!
Hey much thanks, how you been? Don't think I've seen you since last year. Sorry I don't get by more often. I see you all over the place though, helluva engager. Happy new year and all that.
She's pretty easy to write about. = }
Hey... Kinda lost in studies and side hustles...I thought you're not active haven't seen any of post in feed even tho have followed you.... I hope you're Having Fun IRL and here...hehe,I spend most of weekend time in here engaging.. working days > college and work.. Happy New Year to you too.. I wish you all blessings and Happiest moment of the year.
Guilty. After six years of traveliving we parked. Did totally crazy stuff like bought a house and a puppy. I'm lucky to post a couple times a month these days. For awhile there I was only doing one. I appreciate you keeping an eye out for me.
Either all the time in the world or none at all. Maybe that's the key to living.. finding a balance. Probably why I'm always so got dang tired.
Dayum... So, Extroverts are really adventurous - right? Hehe, I travel once in a decade... And Glad you spent some Good time.
Indeed, so true! Finding a balance is quite hard thing... I believe so you take rest and maintain the balance.
What was the last trip you took and do you have any coming up?
Almost an year ago with siblings at hill side...nah, ain't have any plan so far and don't see any chances.
OOOoooohhhh, that's a bit dark. Delicious. DandAys dutifully dares do it again!
Nobody's as good at not saying the thing they wanted to say as you are, and that's really saying something!
I hope you don't dwell on such thoughts often. In case you do, here are some bright sides to look at: The shape you're in, you're almost definitely going to go before her, unless you upgrade to full bionics or something. Eventually, you'll find out that a doctor dropped a friendship bracelet inside you during one of your many sugeries, and BAM! Pura gets to do the mourning. Statistics were already in your favor, but I feel like you've REALLY stacked the deck. Lastly, it seems that you two know each other well enough that if she IS going before you, in her final moments, you'll know exactly what to say to get her to kill you with her last ounce of strength. Ain't it beautiful?
I hope that, er, helps? Just my little way of thanking you for such compelling reading.
I'm trying to find the words again so this might not come out right but since it took you this long to drop a comment worth framing, I wonder what I did wrong the previous 5 years. = }
Whaddup! Dude I'm in the best shape of my life right now and you're saying that locks me in on dead first street?? I'm going to the gym an hour early today.
Glad you liked this one. I don't mean to get all mushy on you guys but it happens, ain't like anyone's gonna make fun of me at school tomorrow or anything.
Much thanks mang.
That was the first comment you thought was worth framing!? Well, shit, now I'm wondering what I've been doing wrong these last 5 years! :D
I meant no disrespect to the shape that you're currently in, I simply wanted to point out that you've kinda looked death in the face more than once now, I'm pretty sure it's going to remember you, eventually.
To put it more simply: Between the two of you cats, I just think Pura has more lives left!
I like all of your posts. This had just the right amount of mushy to give me the feels, without making me question my masculinity. Marvelous, masterful mushiness.
Much thanks right back.
I just read back through this conversation and laughed out loud like four times. Funny. Watch what happens when I cut your sentence.
Hmmm... that's no good at all. Humor is good for your health I hear. Sorry to be so counter-productive!
And I sooooo get it…
Keep going both of you. Don’t think about it. You have her back.
Make her happy…
Stay you!
Hello.
You guys make get to Iceland yet?
Thanks littlebee. Whenever I hear that song I get all hung up on headache Highway. Thank you. <3
Now get on the right side of the road!!
Hello 👋🏻😎
We wish… hahaha we will travel there though as it is soooo Hugh on our list.
You are welcome, I can imagine especially with the strong bond you guys have. 🥰
Hehehe 🤭 Oki doki 🚗🚗🚗 vroom vroom…
I can’t still get it right in my head. It’s weird to say the least.
Wow. A lovely post! I'm glad I saw it! You are lucky to feel so lucky, but we tend to get what we deserve, so keep on deserving it!!
I'm glad you saw it too.
What's up jasperdick? Approaching year one on the blockchain, congrats. Just scrolled through some of your content, good job documenting this surf one. Welcome to Hive. Let me know if you get tripped up. If I can't help you out I'm sure I know someone who can.
Appreciate the follow. Let me know if I disappoint! = }
Cheers man, thank you.
Thank you so much! Yes, I'm a surfing-musician new dad who works in Renewable Energy based in Cape Town, South Africa.
Being a musician is a big bonus on HIVE, because there are things like Hive Open Mic, The Singing Voice, Three Tune Tuesday, Hive Music Festival... to make sure I post regularly each week. I've even started my own challenge where I ask for cover requests, and then share the post rewards with the people who asked for the covers I land up attempting! You should give it a try! Here's the latest place to make requests: https://ecency.com/hive-193816/@jasperdick/efbfxlim
You're most welcome. Congratulations, I'm a new dad too.
Atlas, she's Czech. Never got around to making humans.
You got the right idea; requests, communities, weekly initiatives. That, and this engaging you do, keep it up. This platform is still fresh, hardly visible to most but we got a solid core. A key ingredient to growing your account, especially in the early years, is engage-engage-engage. You're doing great.
Is that JuliaDick account your wife? I think I mighta saw the little one you cat people put together. = }
Hey dude if you're not already following @mipiano and @edprivat, I recommend considering it. Both have been around a long time, are singer/song writers and all that. You're in good hands with them for what you're trying to do here, they know all the tricks.
I'll be right there.
Hi yes, I think I got to know @mipiano very early on in my HIVE journey!
As for @edprivat - I believe his wife is South African, so we are basically brothers now! Hahaha!
Hey luckiest guy 🍀 thanks for the mention 🙌
I met @jasperdick through his hive open mic entries ;) An excellent musician and yes, doing great in engagement too 🌟
🐾🐾🐾 Atlas has grown a bit ;)) 🐾🐾🐾
She just turned 16 weeks yesterday, Thursday. In the six weeks we've had her she's put on 23 pounds. Crazy!
Growing at an enormous rate, won't listen for shit, bites and destroys everything. She's perfect! <3
Oh yes - @juliadick is my wife's account! She only joined up about 2 weeks ago! Obviously as a new mom her free time for this is limited!
💔❤️
I hope it took your mind off things if only for a minute. 💛💙
Cheers Anna. You're doing great.
I read it and just wanted to sit down with you guys. You know what I mean? May sound weird but who gives a shit. I can't sleep right now...thanks for your words though. 🤜🤛
I looked across the room at my @pooky-jax
Then looked to my left on the end of the couch at my princess. "Thee Other Girl."
Yeah... I feel ya bro. One gazillion %
And I sleep on a duvet cover when at home.
Talk about strike a pose. I've seen Sami in the same position before.
Sup man? Notifications notifying you?
I should be good on mushy content for awhile. I'll post Hive token content next time or maybe a recipe, something no one's ever seen.
Maybe some Duvet images. Or pink clothing you could model..?
Now that would be "fancy."
My kinda fancy...
How's the deck? Coming along nicely? Everything's going in smooth probably. Don't forget to wear protection.
Decks on hold again. I have spent over 30 hours in the last week on 2 different tractors. Moving dirt donated from a neighbor's freshly dug pond to repair many years of damage to our shared (non county maintained) dead end roadway.
As you Homo's (homeowners) will soon know. Like the herpes, The repairs & maint. Will be FOR LIFE !
I have learned to live with the
HERPESto do list that just grows and grows.But then again. I ain't all that "fancy."
All four of those images have one thing in common—stainless steel.
Juss be you. "Believe it or Not" That's the weirdo we all
know and lovecome to see...I requested FKNWRDO for my hot rod plate back in the day. My explanation was Freaks and Weirdos. I was denied.
How "FKNWRD" that is. To be denied.
Didn't slow your "FKNWRDO-ness" at all tho did it?
May I ask about your "Hotrod" without sounding like a "FKNWRDO"?
Laugh tf out loud.
Back in the day, between 2k and 2010 I had two bikes. My comfortable bike, a '92 Softail Heritage Classic. And my hot rod, the '07 custom I built myself in Curtis's garage.
Nice...
And you didn't even have to mark that comment NSFW.
Although I was a bit aroused by the images 💯🍌💯
P.S. (edit)
I just put a new Carb on my little girly bike. Looking forward to a ride this weekend. I felt crappy, hit the wall last Friday night and puked my guts out for the 1st time in several years. Horse Paste ivermectin to the rescue. Feeling pretty sporty now.
(Allen Wrench in Mouth)
So there I am agreeing that hubby and I are pretty much the same, planning/hoping to die before the other one. Him because he wouldn't be able to look after himself without me and me because I'd just be lost and alone without him. Then I start reading through what Pura doesn't have to do because you do that for her and realise I still also have to do all that myself. 🤣 The main thing that I could rely on hubby for was bringing in an income, but now even that's fallen to me, but I can only bring in a minimal wage, whereas he really brought in double that. He does do stuff to help me out, but I generally have to ask him. Nothing tedious, though, as he doesn't have the attention span. 😆
Hey you! Always nice to see you here.
Maybe I ask what he used to do or why he's unable to now?
I used to make a lot more when I was working. I suppose it's the same for anyone. What I did was listen to my grandfather at a young age and spent the majority of my younger years building a pension. Thing is, I was single most my life.
Pura and I met when I had about two years left to go in my career. I was able to get my hours and retire before I turned 42. My pensions aren't quite as healthy for two as they would've been for just myself but we're comfortable.
Or at least she is and that's all that matters. = }
Thank you. <3
He worked in the production sector, first as electrical and mechanical maintenance, then in management, mostly in the auto industry. Unfortunately that was all shut down and moved to China and there aren't many other places that produce here and those that do like to have high staff turnover. So he's been in and out of work since the end of 2017. He is also waiting on a hernia and shoulder operation, so he can't go back to manual work until they are sorted. Not that he seems to want to lower himself to that.
He's worked crazy hours too. 60 a week isn't uncommon and one place he interviewed for wanted 100! Hubby made the mistake of wanting children, otherwise he could have retired by now. 😆
You mean he considered his future and created some caretakers. = }
I know those hours well. 60 was probably my preferred also. If not 6 10's then at least 5.
Just tell me shut up or ignore me any time, I swear it won't hurt my feelings. Howcome he's waiting for surgery? Both are kinda necessary repairs really, why the wait?
The youngest might, but not the eldest unless she gets a high paying job and can just hire someone. 🤣
We don't have the money to go private and Medicare has a big waiting list. Usually about a year for the hernia (although longer since Covid) and 2 for the shoulder. He can still function, so it's not classed as urgent, but he can't do heavy lifting or tasks which need him to reach up a lot and he can't stand for long periods without pain.
He's at an age now where he can't cope with those levels of hours any more, plus he was salaried, so he didn't get paid any extra for the overtime. It was fine when he was younger, but he's passed his half century now, so he just wants to slow down. Still, I don't think he regrets his choice to have kids. I was telling him about your early retirement last night. He would have liked to do that as well as have a family, but you can't have your cake and eat it, so you make your choices. His aunt and her husband couldn't have children, so they always had money, but maybe he also saw that they were a bit sad about that (the children, that is, not the money I'm sure 😆).
Yikes. I didn't consider 60 hours without the OT. That's brutal. He's lucky to have you.
Medicare—that's disappointing. I'm so naive I'm unaware many businesses still exist stateside who offer salary and lots of working hours like your husband had but no medical coverage. Wtf is that?? Should be illegal.
My trade does a number on our shoulders too so I have a vague idea what he's experiencing. Shoulders and knees. And back too I guess. And necks. Ankles and wrists too. Ima stop reminding myself of my ailments now.
Thanks so much for tuning into this one. I'm glad you liked it. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
A far as I know, workplaces with medical coverage are a US thing. At least it's not something I've come across in the UK or Australia. I guess that's socialism for you. You didn't need private health insurance in the UK at all unless you wanted luxury accommodation with your treatment. Australia doesn't cover as much with Medicare, so health insurance is more common here, especially with middle income earners. Still a large portion of the population that can't afford it, though, so Medicare has plenty of takers.
Lol! You and he could lament together over aches and pains. His would be hips and back, I reckon.
Thanks for clearing that up. I was so confused for a second knowing you're over there but since he's drawing Medicare I assumed he had US coverage. How American of me. How or why I wasn't gonna ask, figured you found a loophole or something.
Medicare is on other continents. I see.
Both are alive, so they will die, it is which one first, if she dies first you will feel calm, you will sleep in peace since you protect her in life, what more could you ask for, if it is the opposite, she will be protected so now You pay, it's what's called insurance, it covers those who stay alive, those who die don't need anything, it sounds ugly but it's real, in the afterlife there are no problems with bills, you don't have to buy clothes, food, it's say, total happiness.
When my mother died I felt very sad, it's not normal for children to bury their parents, I still can't get over her death, but I sleep peacefully, I live in peace because when she's alive I gave her everything she wanted, that's the point
Hey what's up Lupega, I don't think we've met. Thanks for checking me out.
That was a lot. You're experienced with death. I buried my mother too, she was the only parent I ever met. I have a vague idea what you're saying.
Insurance though? Man.. if what you say is true and everyone's gonna be naked, I don't wanna have to think about insurance anymore when I'm dead. Or taxes. ;D
😉😂😎🤙 u are indeed a funny guy! and I can say 'echo, set timer for 10 minutes' although i always forget and just use my stopwatch.
It's a good trade-off, yea? My wife handles the things that I never could.. at least, not in any passably good way. she is pretty good at cooking, but takes about 5 times longer than me, so I'll state that I prefer my cooking better.. :P and what's a duvet anyway??
It's a thicker blanket thing'er other you stuff inside a thinner blanket thing'er other.
What's up man? I'm glad you think so too then. Thank you. It's easier to forget what they don't like about me if I keep'em laughing.
Sounds like you have a comfortable relationship too. Congrats. How long you been together? Did I see you on another post say you live in Hawaii? Thought I saw you say that.
Yup, ALOHA!!!
😁😎🤙🌈
ahhhhhh, that super puffy bed spread thing I used when I lived in Cali for a bit..
yea, me and the missus got married in 2003 and we got 2 kids. (14 y/o boy, 17 y/o girl)
Thanks for being cool Brah! 😉
Aloha! I'm a horrible person. I see that gif and silently wish for an R rated version. = }
17 and 14.. dang man, next time my puppy's a handful I'll just think about your house.
You know I'm from Ca, right? Los Angeles County, Long Beach.
Where did you stay?
A hui hou.
:) oh cool. I was in Morro Bay.. central coast cali. LA is north cali, right? It's funny, I still feel like a noob on here, but I think I'm one of the oldest and have been on the block for a while.. :P It's all good.. how many kids u plan to have?
Zero. I find it fascinating to hear about individual childhoods and reflect who does and who doesn't have kids. Well... I won't have kids. I love them. All my friends have some—pass. I'll raise German Shepherds.
LA is south actually. I've spent a lot of time around Moro Bay, gorgeous country. Big Sur, Pismo, I've spent a lot of time there. "Home," I miss it often.
I'm seeing now you been around awhile. I'm glad we finally crossed paths.
and yea! a big 100% agree on the Hot Hula girl action!:)
u know, Hawaii was voted as having the prettiest girls.. (according to some online sources)
cali is always up there too!
:)
New York?!? With the exception of New Orleans, NYC is the filthiest city I've been to in the US and I'm from LA!
Must've been a Hawaiian conducted that survey cuz everyone knows Ca is first. Wink. I should probably go investigate for myself.
A true testament to your love for her and hers for you, since she makes sure you are happy and healthy. You both have a long, long way to go, so don't fret so. Keep making her laugh..that's the secret!
According to her and her mom and them, she didn't cook before me. She's since published a cook book. Not all days are easy but they're all ours. Good enough for me.
Much thanks Miss Lovelace, always a pleasure when you stop by.
Great song, a great post, and a great love story.
Living without one's soulmate is hard for me to even think about.
When you love someone so profoundly and words aren't needed to convey each other's thoughts, the idea of continuing without them is forbidding.
Romeo and Juliet for me.
Very Shakespearean of you.
What's up Sweed? Next sunny day Pura isn't busy, we'll put up the coolest bird feeder ever. Been pretty brutal out there.
You watched the video? That sure is cool. And liked it?!
I was just talking about your syrup yesterday.
Enjoy your Sunday sir. As always, much thanks.
Cool, hang it above Atlas's reach, he sounds like he likes to get into mischief, just how you like it.
We've been keeping an eye on the weather in your neck of the woods. For that area, it looks like it's been brutal.
I'm not sure if we'll be getting to making the syrup this year. By this time we are usually on the road. Robin has been by her sister's bedside for the better part of the last month. She just left an hour ago, heading back to NJ to make funeral arrangements for Dee who passed away a few days ago. Dorothy was a real fighter and can now RIP after almost 30 years.
After the dust settles, I can't wait to head south and change the scenery and Robin's headspace. The love of my life needs lots of downtimes.
Late last night Robin posted this and told me about it this morning. I wept like a baby. I figured our virtual friends would like to know.
https://peakd.com/hive-106316/@farm-mom/my-little-sister-silverbloggers
Peace my friend.
Dang dude that was rough.
Preach it brother, strange how the mind walks away from that thought. Natural disasters, global famine, being broke, losing the house to a fire etc. Those fears I can live with. That one? Usually I start looking at the weather.
You speakuh me language. Pretty much got all the world flags memorized now, might as wel try the the weather out. I don't usually st-stutter like that.
Messes me all up.
Whaddup. What's good?
Nothing exciting really, currently trying to cut my way through the thorny forest behind the house. I only, like seriously, 100 % just realized it's February.
I have like 10 days to figure out what the fuck imma do for my wedding anniversary as it's a big one, well in her mind at least. This year we've been married longer than we spent apart.
What the fuck anniversary is that? Paper?Diamond? Anaconda 5000? Maybe nipple tassels?
Other than current panic, I'm all good
What a lovely way of telling the world about how you feel about your wife.
I love it!
And the song about the guys' grandparents got to me because it's what my grandparents were like until my grandfathers' untimely death at the age of 58.
My grandmother never really got over him. She never met another man nor did she want to. It's the kind of relationship most want but will never have, including myself. Well, never say never hahaha.
Your wife thinks you're funny. It's a big win in my book. I always used to say (and still do) that I need a man who can make me laugh. I won't settle for less. I didn't so I'm still single. I made peace with that fact and I'm not looking for love. But if it comes on my path, it has to be fun. Nothing less will do.
I love how open you are about your love for your wife. Thank you for sharing this, it brightened my day.
You're most welcome. I'm glad you caught this one.
Raise your hand if every time you hear that song it gets to you a little bit. 👋🏻
I wasn't looking for anything when she and I met. At the time I think I had been single 11 years or something. Dated a lot but nothing serious and, even before her, serious was three years once. I had a lot of growing up to do.
Then we met each other, each from totally different cities and the chances of us being at the same place at the same time was dot dot dot. Now we bring out the best in each other.
I'm doing it again ain't I? All bla bla bla bla Pura this, Pura that. Oops.
= }
Well, if the chances that you'd be in the same place at the same time were near zero, then it was definitely meant to be.
I truly believe that although there is free choice, there's definitely something in life that you can't control. If it has to happen, there's nothing you can do about it to change it, other than walk away. Which neither of you did, obviously.
That's the same reason why I believe I'm single with just my kids.
It's not the easiest way of life but I'm quite fond of the way things are right now.
But if I were to run into that person that makes me laugh until I cry, I'll probably know why that happened too. :)
Don't ever apologise for talking about Pura (I LOVE that name too) in a loving way. Us women appreciate any man who puts their partner on a pedestal. It shows character. Complaining is easier but doesn't add anything. So you, my friend, just moved up a few notches on my list of 'good peeps'. 😉
Let me know if I disappoint and I'll tell Pura! = }
Those kids are lucky to have you Miss LV. Moms earn the right to act like moms.
I got a couple ladies telling me I did good with this one. I'll take it!
Much thanks. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Winter where we are, takes a lot of bundling up just to take the dog out so do me a favor and soak up some sun for me.
So sweet!
"I can't find the mustard without a map." That made me laugh ! 😂
I'm glad you're able to find humor in my dry sandwiches. = }
Thank you.
The subject that we do know want to think about :-) I guess we all did at one point (what if one of our precious dies before us...Let me take a quote from you : "Fuuu...cought." Hopefully it wil not happen, then again you never know. Treating the one you love like a queen (like you do), is the way to go (appreciating the present), I will be ost for sure as well, so let's hope for the best (lol for the death versus life insurrance term)
That was a lot of parenthesis (these things). = }
What's up Peg? Sometimes I get a little carried away all bla bla bla how I really feel bla.
Thanks for staying tuned in this long man, I appreciate it. I'll try to go back to funny next time. Have a great week.
