The Embarassments of Ageing

Posted on 5th April 2013 in Senior Living

I’ve always seen those commercials about male incontinence; never did I stop and realize that this could possibly happen to me some day. Well one day I was grocery shopping for Thanksgiving dinner and to my surprise it had actually happened to me, right in the middle of the store. I never felt so ashamed of myself and so embarrassed. I was hoping no one had noticed. What should I do? Should I just leave the cart and try and bolt out the door? Should I just mosey my way to the check out and pay for the items I have already gotten in my cart? The decision was tough, although I did make an easier one at that same moment. I am going to get help to get my body back on track. It was pretty simple to make that decision. I went straight home and called my doctor.

Keeping My Fingers Crossed

Posted on 17th January 2013 in Dating

After many months of convincing, my brother is about to sign up for an online relationship website for the first time. He is a really great guy, but he has not had any luck finding the right woman to share his life. We live in a small town, so options are limited. I thought that he would be able to choose from a much larger pool of women by looking for love online.

My brother is shy, but he enjoys writing and good conversation. I think he will be more comfortable interacting with women online at first. We had a lot of fun last night working to set up his online profile and choosing the right pictures to represent his life.

I hope that online dating Oxford will help my brother gain confidence and eventually find the woman that he has been dreaming of. I am excited to see what happens!

I’m thinking retro red chairs!

Posted on 17th December 2012 in Furniture

I am wanting to renovate my kitchen in red and I feel I would also like to get new appliances that are red as well as utensils. I have some trouble finding a red dining table and bar stools to match. I have looked all over and I cannot find anything. I am thinking that maybe I will have some luck if I renovate my home in Coca-Cola accents. Finding this hip retro look should be pretty easy because back in the day the had red tables and chairs. Having them in red will really make any room pop with color and have some collectible value to it as well. I feel that I can work with this very well in my kitchen. I can use blacks, whites, and stainless steel as well. I would be the talk of the town when I can get ahold of the matching table and chairs to this theme.

How The Family Came To Eat At the Dinner Table

Posted on 10th December 2012 in Parenting

For years, man lived like a caveman and ate on the floors of his domain. Going out and hunting during the day, and eating in the cave when not hunting. One day, he got tired of his food getting dirty and decided to create a table. The idea spread and soon everyone was eating on tables to avoid getting their food dirty.

Everyone was happy with this, and it made for happier cavemen and cave women because they didn’t taste the floor of their caves while eating. A major step in the right direction. Almost as good as the discovery of fire!

However, the next problem that was encountered was that he had to stand to eat, so he created wall units to solve the problem of having to stand while eating. Soon, the whole caveman’s family was eating with him at the table, and that was the greatest gift that life could offer. Eating food around the table with the family.

Picture Perfect Wedding – Or Not!

Posted on 15th November 2012 in Photography

With his hi-tech camera, my husband is constantly taking pictures of anything that catches his eye. As the family’s amateur fotograaf Antwerpen, he captures all the memories at any family event, outing or vacation. Therefore, it seemed only natural when our daughter asked him to take her wedding photos.

The wedding chapel that performed the ceremony also supplied a professional to take photos. Family and guests were not allowed to photograph any part of the wedding while the professional was working. However, no one was going to take my husband’s camera away, which turned out to be a blessing.

My husband took many photos, a lot more than the professional did. As it turned out, he was able to obtain numerous shots the other camera didn’t. Thank goodness he refused to follow the rules as his photos were far superior. It was a picture perfect wedding – not by a professional.

Growing Old and Loosing Control

Posted on 26th October 2012 in Old Age

Getting older to me is just a part of life. Everyone goes through it, everyone gets older, thats just the way it is. Unfortunately, as I got older, I began to notice that I could no predict when or how many times I would have to use the rest room. This was never a problem before, but getting older I had developed incontinence. Though I was not happy to hear that I would randomly go to the bathroom and sometimes wouldnt be able to make it to the rest room on time, my doctor suggested that I try incontinence pads. I was somewhat leery at first, but eventually I tried them. To my suprise they are very comfortable and when I do have my accidents, the odor elimator inside of them keeps the smell away. Now I do not have to worry about having any issues while in public, or while doing something I enjoy.

Not Again Grandpa!

Posted on 22nd October 2012 in Old Age

When I awoke this morning I made my way sleepily into the living room to sit down and enjoy some quality cartoons and cereal. When I looked up from wiping the sleep from my eyes I saw that Grandpa had fallen asleep on the couch again. After I scooted him to the side I plopped down and realized that i was sitting in a nasty smelly wet spot…icky. Grandpa did it again! I poked him awake and handed him his teeth so that I could understand what the man was saying and I asked him what the deal was. He just can’t get up in time, which stinks for me because I have to clean it up. Do I spank him with the newspaper and rub his nose in it? No I won’t do that. I am, however, running to the store right away for some adult nappies! There’s the answer to my wet problems!
