and expected to rain most of the day.....Lazy fall days can be some of your most memorable days of your life if you put in the effort to make them so........One of my pleasant recollections of lazy fall Saturday's was watching the pre-cable TV viewing's of The Victory Garden and This Old House.......Usually I was buzzed on weed and relaxing from a torturous work week and wanted nothing more than to veg out on the couch as high as I could tolerate......</strong></em></p><p></p><p><strong><em>When I got up this morning I didn't know if I wanted to post in this thread as yesterday was a somewhat tedious day ,even for me..................</em></strong></p><p><strong><em></em></strong></p><p><strong><em>I'm trying to choose my words to match my thoughts today carefully and that has caused me to question whether or not to post today...........I look at this board , which I love , as therapy for me and anything i post is like having a conversation with my close friends and I only share valid events that actually occur in my life....I have worked and been around various people who you could tell in short order that they were embellishers of the highest level possible when it came to their physical side of their relationships....I always just nodded or laughed when necessary to just get through those moments and then smiled behind their backs knowing it was all BS.....But , that's their problem . not mine......I am direct and sometimes brutally blunt giving real life details of my life....Rest assured what I share with you here is or has actually happened....Sometimes after I post I go back and re-read my post and just shake my head......WOW.........kinda trippy , like all my trips I did in the ""Orange sunshine barrels " period of my life.....</em></strong></p><p></p><p><em><strong>This has been a somewhat long preface to my subject at hand for discussion today........No neighbor lady talk , well I did get a call last night from NL # 1</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>[ATTACH=full]12735[/ATTACH]</strong></em></p><p></p><p> <em><strong>saying she wanted me to meet another lady from her circle , but that will cum later today.....</strong></em></p><p></p><p><strong><em>Wednesday and Saturday mornings are when i call my dad at the nursing home , then follow that call with a call to my mom at her assisted living facility....I really look forward to my calls to my dad , wondering what condition his mind will be in that day and how he has been eating and sleeping.....As far as looking forward to my calls to my mom, not so much at all........We have a contentious relationship and she was the epitome of "" Mommy Dearest "" before that title became popular......I was the happiest man alive when I set out into the world at age 17 with $$ in my pocket from working since I was eight years old carrying out boxes and washing windows at the department store where my mom was the assistant mgr.............I worked every summer and then in my early teen years I worked after school till 8 pm at various places....I'm telling you this to help you understand the rest of my post.....</em></strong></p><p></p><p><em><strong>I know some of you reading my words here have experienced the loss of one or both of your parents....I humbly offer my sympathy and sorrow in your loss and hope your memories comfort you immensely........I have yet to experience that loss..................................................I had to lean back and take a few moments before continuing on with this post..........Composing myself with a smoke and another cup of coffee , the following is what I experienced yesterday morning.....</strong></em></p><p></p><p><strong><em>I called dad around 8:30 am as this is the best time to reach him.........He sounded chipper and we talked about the cardinals ( both of us are diehard fans) and then his voice changed some......i asked him if he was ok and he said yes but I knew he wasn't....I didn't press the issue but told dad i wanted to speak to his nurse ...we said our goodbyes and then the nurse came on the phone.....She is a caring person and i asked her if she had time to speak to me ....She said yes she did and told me she had all the time i needed to give me an update on my dad's condition......she was very frank with me as I have told her in the past to be as blunt as possible with me regarding my dads condition....</em></strong></p><p></p><p><em><strong>She was a nurse at the assisted living facility where mom is now and where dad was before going into the nursing home so I respect her opinion greatly......</strong></em></p><p><strong><em>She told me my dad's condition has gone down in the last 2-3 weeks as she has noticed his jovial demeanor not as prevalent as before......she also mentioned early stages of dementia has been discussed between her and the doctor there.......It's hard to lose someone you are so close to , but I'm finding the stress of hearing that from her and wondering if the next phone call i get from mom or the nursing home will bring finality to my father's life path.................................I really think my dalliances with the neighbor ladies has allowed me to not dwell on the life events with my parents...........lol, and I just love being around beautiful women and helping them with their struggles in life.....I really really do.......</em></strong></p><p></p><p><em><strong>My next call is to my mother..........I try to be as non combative with her as possible , but seems like she always says something to frost my gonads , and i think she does it purposefully ....It's her nature and that why we don't get along very well....But , she is my mother and usually I just bite my tongue and not be drawn into her verbal warfare tactics.......</strong></em></p><p></p><p><strong><em>So she answers the phone and after the hellos ,how you doing stuff she starts in with your dad is sleeping to much , he's hardly ever awake when she goes to see him every 2-3 days....She questioned the same nurse I earlier referenced about changing my dad's pain pill schedule so he will be awake when she is there.....The nurse shot that down PDQ and i could tell my mom didn't agree with the nurse......That just hit me the wrong way and i started to question my mom on why she even brought up dads meds to the nurse........the following conversation with her crashed into another war of words and I just finally excused myself from the call telling her I had another call coming in.....</em></strong></p><p></p><p><em><strong>My life is no different than anyone else's is but I had to get this off my mind as it has been wearing on me tremendously......For my friends here who i know support me , thank you for your kind words as I grow older and less mature......LOL.....Without this board to interact with you all and a platform for me to spew my idiocracy in these posts, I would probably nut up and be a basket case.....</strong></em></p><p></p><p><strong><em>BUT , life goes on and I am determined to not let anything get me down.....I am going to enjoy every second of my time with my various neighbor ladies and hopefully add # 5 later on today......</em></strong></p><p></p><p></p><p>[ATTACH=full]12733[/ATTACH]</p><p></p><p><strong><em>Tackling life as best I can and loving every second................VIVA LA

to be the master of my life path and deal with the woes of life the best I can..........The 2 albums by Kacey Musgraves "" Golden Hour and Star-Crossed "" have been an ancients-send for me.......Her lyrics have helped me in some of my difficulties and allowed me to get misty eyed in other ones.....Just the experience of emotion's has been good for me , allowing me to reset my life every day
