Good morning! Going to target later for yoga clothes, I'll use cash.

Being kind. Well, I brought oranges to my elderly neighbor yesterday and invited all my neighbors to help themselves to the big bag of them I got from my friends tree. Getting more today and I'll take some to another elderly neighbor.

Mr.VoR got stuck in the bad weather in PA and OH. He's heading home now though. He has to get his windshield replaced first. It cracked from him scraping ice off of it. Weird.

Hope everyone has a good day.

DH did a kindness for me this morning! While I was working on the laundry, he made breakfast! Pan sausage, and two eggs over easy - PERFECTLY done! He's such a keeper!

Yes, he IS a keeper! You are one lucky lady.

DSIL is a truck driver. He has been stuck in some nasty weather this year.

Glad your DH is on his way home. smile

Fresh oranges sound wonderful, yum!

We don't get much snow here, so when it DOES snow sleds are at a premium, if you can find them at all.

The kids in the neighborhood were "sledding" on whatever they could find, cardboard, garbage lids, trash bags.

We have 2 antique Flexible Flyers that I use for decoration at Christmas. G brought them down from the attic and took them outside. O...M...G...you would have thought they won the lottery. They had SO much fun on those sleds. We left them on the porch this morning so if they want to use them today they can. I'm just glad they are getting some enjoyment from them....

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

O4, I can just imagine the kids having a blast in the rare snow event for your area! What fun for the kids! Your G is a sweetheart for sharing the sleds.
Did anyone see the bare snow jumpers on the news? Gosh, that looked so cold!!

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

That was very nice O4! All the kids in my neighborhood were out sledding on Tuesday.

Thursdays are my day to be kind. The kids don't have a washer or dryer yet. So, Jessi comes to our house to do the laundry.

And once she gets the first load out of the washer and into the dryer, and her second load in, I take her shopping.

We have fun! I helped her find a lamp for her desk, and a few odds and ends. smile

I'm enjoying the nice stories!

What a good idea for a thread. smile

OH MY GAWD!

I love shopping for my kids.

DS1 is an IT consultant with a Chicago firm. A couple weeks ago, I found a T-shirt on zulily that said "Have you tried turning it off and turning it on again?"

He called me when he got it (he rarely calls).

I was told it was supposed to be only about kindness. I got chastised for not posting something kind. So I posted a thread where those of us who want can post whatever we want and not be chastised.

DemoniaD · Senior Member

Who said only kindness and chastised you? I only see where Blankie made a joke about some people needing it, after the joking about smacking co-workers tomorrow.

Sorry you felt chastised. The intent of the thread was just an idea for the daily. Nothing more.

Yes, we were JOKING. Like everyone else does on dailies. But apparently when some do it it is not acceptable. I was immediately told it was a thread for kindness. Not for anything else.

That's why I posted another thread. We don't have strict subject matter over there. And I won't chastise anyone if they post something that doesn't go along with my theme.

I didn't chastise you. I thought it was a fun thread with humor. A daily is never strict subject matter, IMHO. smile

Well, I will stick to the other thread since apparently I "need to learn kindness".

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

I can't control how you or anyone else takes a comment, NJN. (sigh)

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

This is a nice thread.

Today I will be kind to myself.

Yesterday about 4 I started having some stomach pain. Then I got really sick. So off to the ER I went.

Good Lord was it busy. The waiting room was standing room only. But I finally got back to see a doctor.

After some tests, meds and scans they tell me I have an infection in my lymph nods and a UTI.

So about 1:30 they were going to let me go but as they were seeing if I could hold down some liquids and getting me ready to discharge, my blood pressure dropped dangerously low.

They had given me morphine and now we know it yanks my BP drastically down.

So they came in to force fluids in an IV.

They gave me some more Zofran and finally sent me home around 3 this morning.

Now I have a headache like you wouldn't believe. And moving around makes me sick and feels like a knife is slicing and twisting in my gut. But it is better than it was yesterday.

I don't think I will be running any races any time soon. I am doing good to get myself to the bathroom.

So if I begin posting something really weird or strange remember I am on medication. A lot of it.

It is hard to decide how to take people's posts sometimes. I try not read negativety into things if the poster is generally a light hearted poster. I'm sure there was no offense meant NJN. It is the daily where we just have fun.

I'm still missing the chastising and strictly for kindness. I only see joking.

I think we all can feel a bit sensitive at times but I sincerely think there was no intentional chastising.

You would think on the kindness thread that people would at least adhere to the "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything" rule. Obviously not.

His status is deleted. And he has been removed from the User Directory. Are you sure he's on a temp ban and not a permanent ban? I didn't think names were removed from the directory on a temp ban.

Perhaps he self-deleted?

Lily, I think you should go back to the er. Having that feeling of wanting to cry is sometimes an indicator of other issues. I know that sounds weird, but it's true. I know that when I get teary for no apparent reason, I have to go in. Every time they've found something wrong. Sometimes it's our bodies way of crying (pun!) out for help.

No, I deleted him, and I'll re-instate him on March 1st. I won't "ban" the user name unless someone is permanently banned.

If I still feel bad tomorrow I will. I think it has more to do with all the medicine I have had. And the contrast they gave me and the BP going up and down and not resting fully.
