Nothing worse for a man than when the wife is hurting can't fix everything just be there for them.
When my wife was bedridden with a back injury, 3 months down, I needed some stiff drinks
but didn't cause she didn't.We've been enjoying some great summer drinks already so make mine a Stoli Sticky Bee
and watch that stinger it'll knock you out.
That what you fear the most could meet you halfway
Any case, I hope it's not serious and turns out OK for her...for them.
Hang in there, B!
Thanks for asking about her, Hedonist.
Celia is my wife. She just called and told me she waited too late to get her eye looked at in order to have the simple procedure to correct the problem. She has to go in Monday for eye surgery. As if that's not bad enough, she will have to lie face down for 10 days and and for two months she is not supposed go over 1,600 feet in elevation... which is really problematic as we live at 2,000 ft elevation.
Life gets challenging sometimes. :(
Yes indeed it can be very challenging I found that out this week. Basically one of my lady's kids did something really bad while she has been away at a conference for a week. I can see why my once black hair is slowly but surely turning grey. There's nothing that do that than dealing and parenting teens,3 of them.
Brian all the best to you and your wife hang in there even if you have to come down from that mountain. I'm seriously considering saying goodbye from this forum for a while. Take care now.

Man 3 teens, we suffered through 2 and some friends. You can see what it did to my hair
Better have a drink before you go it might change your mind.

Thanks for kind words, g. She has a detached retina and will never have normal vision in her left eye again. And this just hit out of the blue. It's been that kind of week.
I'm sorry to hear you're thinking of leaving us for awhile but I understand the feeling. I truly do. :(
Take a break if you need but... come back!

Funny you say have a drink because I don't really drink. Two weeks ago I bought some beer for no particular reason, I just have not had a drink ALL YEAR. It sat there until the craziness of this week, I've had 4 beers since Wednesday and man did I ever need them just to be able to sleep. My teen and I are going to have a talk today calmly, maybe to have him understand more about his life and where it's headed. I do know when she comes back all hell may break loose, I just need to keep her calm as well.
The board has been an outlet over the years but I'm just not finding that here anymore besides I have so much more to focus on here at home.
Peace everybody

Our kids did some crazy shit. I hobbled through PJ Lakewood concert cause I kicked an empty propane tank in my garage, broke my big toe. I was so mad at one of them. It's all history. And yeah calm and well thought out
helps if you can do it. Good luck man. It's really never over, always worry about them.
That what you fear the most could meet you halfway
g under p - you've been doing well with your teens. Just another hurdle. Hope your talk with your boy is positive and fruitful.
Would hate to see you go completely. If you need time out, pop in the lounge and let us know how you're doing.
You got it red rock.

A lot of good and fine people around here that I would love to have a real-life drink with! Alcoholic or not, cold drink or cup of coffee/tea.
:thumbup:

I'm not the biggest Beatles fan, however on an individual basis George will ALWAYS be my favorite Beatle. Nice picture of him Hedonist.

Can't have a drink yet (making decorations for a cake and playing chauffeur later) but I would have a little celebratory one, if I could. My friend's surgery went without a hitch and they seemed to have been able to keep his foot and not hack it off. He had quite a complex and pioneering operation so we were a bit worried. Now only time will tell....
Brianlux - hope all went well (or will go well depending on time zones!) with Celia.
Any case, I hope it's not serious and turns out OK for her...for them.
Hang in there, B!

So sorry about this Brian :( Hoping her surgery went well today.
Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

I thought the same can't wait to meet up with you but no coffee or tea for me
unless its spiked.
We must still be waiting to hear about Celia and the surgery. Yep sending some vibes her way.

Thank you riotgrl. So far so good. The Doc was happy with the result. Now we start the long face-down recovery. Lots to do today so as C. likes to say, "TTFN" (ta ta for now )
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
Nothing like that feeling, Brian. A flood, I imagine.
A heartfelt toast to both of you from here
May you both live long and strong on Love Street.
(what can I say? I'm watching / listening to the Doors live at the Hollywood Bowl - better I quote the above song than Back Door Man!)
I was just about to say I'm listening to the Door Live in New York and the desk started shaking. No, make that the whole house- and we are on solid rock here!
Whoa! Rock AND roll, baby!

Then why, why, when making a PB&J sandwich, she put the jelly on first then spread then peanut butter?????
She said she lost her mind for a moment....
Note: it was mine she did it with - hers was fine. Maybe she's trying to tell me something?
