How do people deal with ex partners and events that happen in their life? Do you remain friends and share special events and attend marriages and funerals. Do you keep in touch with their children and remain a part of something even though it’s over? I guess some people do just that, I know when Bill’s ex (not wife) had the tragic accident that took her grandsons life Bill went to the funeral, I chose not to.
My personal opinion is that when a relationship is over it’s time to put it behind you and move on except when you have biological children involved then you need to be civil. I don’t think I would ever go to an ex’s funeral or any of their family, I might send a condolence card and flowers for the family. I don’t know what the etiquette is for those situations or if there is any. People pretty much do whatever they feel like doing now a days.
I told you about Bill’s ex friend and her son that had an accident a month or so ago, he was the Father of the baby that died. Well, he died last night he was 31 and I feel so bad for that family and their heartache so of course this will probably be another funeral Bill will attend. When I split with my ex I severed all ties with his family and I do not keep in touch with anyone even though they were apart of my life for almost 10 years.
Heart Wrenching
It seems like the whole time Bill and I have been together some event or tragedy has kept that family very much in my life. I don’t want to know the woman or her family even if I feel sorry for all the tragedy. Maybe I’m selfish and jealous or maybe I’m just tired of getting the low down about his ex and all the events that happen monthly from her brother-in-law that works with Bill.
Believe me it’s always something, it makes me think a small part is still interested. I don’t think I’m a horrible person I even talk to Bill’s ex wife of 25 years at their grandson’s birthday party every year and when I see her at the store. I even gave her my stray cats food when he ran away, but that’s different she was at least his wife not an ex girlfriend. I hope you didn’t read all of this I just felt like getting it off my chest.
What exactly does hardcore mean? If you do a search on the web you’ll find this: Having an extreme dedication to a certain activity; diehard; Resistant to change; Obscene or explicit. Of course I know about the obscene and explicit doesn’t everyone? And I know about the diehards = stubbornly resisting change or clinging to a seemingly hopeless or outdated cause, but never really understood using hardcore attached to product names.
Everyone is weight conscious and most of the blogs I visit have at least a few diet tricks even if they aren’t devoted to food or diet or health. I guess depending on your metabolism something might work for you and not someone else. Everyone wants to lose weight, but no one wants to diet or exercise. We always look for an easy way or at least I do, but my metabolism is so low that I just look at food and I’m heavier.
Ephedrasil hardcore, what the heck is that? I thought it was something pornographic until I did a search and found out it was a diet pill that’s suppose to give you energy and make you feel good. At my age I need all the energy I can get and I certainly want to feel good, but I don’t know, can a diet pill do all of that? I looked it up and found this supplemental chart, but I’m not sure what all that stuff is except the b12 and caffeine.
I guess in this instance it means for those that are really serious about losing weight, but I could be wrong. I read mixed reviews, but I don’t know any of those people so how in the world would I know unless I know someone that has actually tried something. We mostly depend on word of mouth and we really take it serious when we actually see something work for someone. Has anyone used this?
Having pets is sometimes worse than having children and taking care of them is a big responsibility. Most of us consider them as our children and worry just as much about them. When I was young I simply thought of dogs as dogs of course, but when I got older and I no longer had a child to mother I started feeling different. This last one somehow became my baby and filled a void, he’s going on 11, well 77 human years, sorry I had dog years there.
When we go away I have to make sure someone stays at the house with him instead of putting him in a kennel because I want him to be in his familiar surroundings. I leave a list of his likes and dislikes and numbers where I can be reached. I never worry of course when I go away by myself because I know Bill’s there and my dog loves him more than me even though I had him almost 5 years before I met Bill.
For some reason my dogs have started eating dirt or at least that’s what I think it is. I know the squirrels and rabbits play in our yard all the time and bury stuff and I have no clue what else they may be doing that my dogs are always sniffing and picking and digging and eating. I know that dogs love to eat cat turds because I read somewhere they consider them treats, but yuck, poop is poop.
I’ve given them pet supplements in the past, but it looks like they may be missing something in their system now so I guess it’s time to restart them. I seldom have any health related problems with them except my old guy recently had an ear infection and his medicine cost 33 dollars. I started to get pet insurance when I first got him, but it didn’t fit in my budget then, but I’m thinking now that he’s older I might need it.
Just like older people they start having more aches and pains also. He doesn’t get around like he use to and I hate to think he’s in pain. I know he has a fatty tumor, but at his age I don’t want him put under and have it removed. The Vet said if it grows it goes, but it’s stayed the same for the past few years, he’s slower getting up and down the steps though. He’s even started to snore, but that might have been from the infection.
He has slowed down a lot unless you drop something on the floor then he’s there like lightening. Both dogs are fixed, but it doesn’t stop him from getting amorous thoughts even at 77 he still tries to get frisky. Of course she’s younger and simply flips him around and shows him who’s boss, but it doesn’t stop him from trying and it’s very embarrassing when we’re outside and kids are playing in the next yard and my female dog is acting like the male.
I bought the above patch for my Vietnam Vet and gave it to him last week because that’s exactly how I feel about him and he said uh…oh that has A BAD WORD IN IT and silly me said WOT? I said did you look at that patch, it has your ribbon and I don’t consider Ass a bad word…I think it’s cool and so are you and he had to agree because even though I’m mature I don’t care what anyone says I’m still not senile…YET… even though I’m working on it.
After he looked at it he agreed it was pretty cool so he had it sewn on his vest when he went to the Harrisburg swap meet. He didn’t find anything worth buying for his bike though and said he wasted 15 dollars to get in and it even cost 8 dollars to park, I was aghast at the prices and it was suppose to be a big swap meet and it cost 10 dollars just to sew 2 small patches on… bunch of robbers. At least they didn’t get any money from me so that makes me feel better.
When we first got together it was fun going to all the different swap meets and motorcycle functions, but I soon found out if you’ve been to one then you’ve seen them all. So now I let Bill go with his son so they can have alone time and save money on my end because I don’t need to see all the parts and other junk they pull out for these events. I love riding with Bill and would gladly go any where with him and just wait in a coffee shop somewhere.
I have always enjoyed riding behind, but it was only in the past year that I really got the urge to learn to ride myself. I was really getting into the whole thing until my upset with my son then I put it on the back burner so to speak, but only for awhile. I intend to actually learn to ride my little Suzuki next year because this is my life and I’m not getting any younger and whatever happens everyone needs to experience everything they possibly can. I’ll end this now except to say my Vet can still kick ass.
