In a respectful, non binding, platonic kind of way, that is.

I'm just seeing this and I thank you. I'm afraid Life, with its year-end work/audit, our aging parents, and too many more life events to name did not allow much free time the last couple of months.
I appreciate the shout-out, hoofie. Truly.

Use this place to vent a little. I've always tried to find something funny every day.
I am estranged from my parents and siblings, and my wife is very ill. This week, I lost an uncle whom I would hang out with as a teen, and lost a former customer and dear friend of 35 years.
While this forum isn't very active, I amuse myself and those few that lurk and read every day. We all cope in our own way.

Damn there hoofie, I thought being 3 weeks off having a complete shoulder joint replaced was bad. You got me beat. At lest you're not the sound of one hand typing.
Hope things get better fast!

Sorry too hear you guys are having hardships.
Glad too see everyone back.
Hope your life gets too running smoother.
I too have a mother in nursing home in Alabama,a sister in-law that has just found out she has brain cancer. Also caring for someone with demintis(misspelled) somedays its gets too where you want too run out into on coming traffic. If any of you need too vent feel free too Pm me. I understand we all have problems just in different forms I guess.
Good too see you back JMHO and Ranger06. Since I do not know you guys sharing lets us know and help anyway we can.
Like hoofie(respect) I do not mean too pry in any ones business. Just concerned when we don't hear from our forum family . Be safe. Dixie

dixie, my mother has Alzheimer's and is now in a memory care unit. And while he'd been her sole caregiver for the last 3 years, doing all the cooking and cleaning, my father is having a difficult time adjusting to not having his wife (of 64 years tomorrow) not with him. He is now in Assisted Living next door and visits daily. Moving them twice in the last 6 months when they do not live in the same vicinity is difficult but I am so grateful to still have these amazing two individuals in my life; to call them my parents is a blessing for which I can never be worthy.
Ranger, I'm so sorry for your shoulder surgery and hope you are recovering quickly. dixie, if you can attend a caregivers' support group, do so. In addition to valuable information, the knowledge of meeting and getting to know others going through similar circumstances is invaluable. hoofie, my heart breaks for you. Unlike Ranger, who I've met and with whom we share friends, I've not met you face to face, but feel I know you nonetheless. Forum friendships are unique and I have made lifelong friends from such originations. I pray for you, hoofie. No matter what each of us faces daily, we should strive to find the humor; laughing through the pain can be quite therapeutic. Your posts fill a purpose and you are appreciated.

JMHO, thank you for the advice on a support group.I did read not long ago about one here ,just not in my area.I will keep searching out for one closer too where I live.It is very hard too see your parents sick and lonely as your Dad missing his wife.My mother has been in almost a yr.has had a stroke,been in the hospital twice infections and flu.she will be 89 yrs old the 28th of this month I believe she is the oldest resident there .Her sister was in the same Nursing Home before she died.I was not able too be her Guardian the state took that over appointed a lawyer.Moving can confuse a Alzheimer's person even more.I pray we all can stay strong thru our trials of life. I lost my Dad and son(only child) almost a yr apart several yrs back.They were my everything,you never want too lose a child that is not the way it is suppose to be.
hoofie,You are a big inspiration too us all,taking care of your wife is a blessing that is not a easy job my friend.Keep the laughter coming for that is good for the soul.
Range06, I wish you a speedy recovery I have heard that is a painful surgery and healing as well.Follow the doctors orders which most of us want too get back too our normal speed of life too soon.
Please excuse my writing as all you know I am NOT the best at that. My intentions mean well.After I lost my son and Dad I had too learn how too do many things "again" my brain almost stopped working period for a while.That is something I try not too share alot.Don't guess I will ever get back the way I once was.
Prayers go up for us all in these troubled times I do know prayers will do no harm for sure. I hope I can learn more about everyone and become as you spoke JMHO long distance friends with many.
Everyone have a good evening. We may get some snow here ,it is cold and raining.
Later.

I only post during the day. Back when I lived in the Tuscaloosa area, I would get into trouble when I would PWI (Post While Intoxicated) on the Tnews forum. Those were the days though...............
