Time Out for O/T – Vol 1

Nite, Kes! Sleep tight! Hope to see you here tomorrow!

Kalima, I’m not sure whether they have him or not. I have not been able to get in touch with her in a few days. She has been at the hospital quite a bit. I got the news from my daughter today who had been able to get her on the phone. I’m going to keep trying and will post an update when I get some information.

I totally agree with you, Kalima! The longer I live, the more I trust my gut! There was definitely something weird about this one.

Hey Cher, yes Flossy was a light-weight, but he used to get on these rants about socialism, communism, Marxism, etc. ad nauseum. I don’t think he really knew much about any of it, but he liked to throw out the terms to impress. I just hate someone who is just a pompous ass! He lit into me a few times.

Hey Cher, I don’t think there’s a thing wrong with your boundaries! This person, for whatever the reason, tried to cloak the insults in some pretty stilted language, building you up and then cutting you down. I would have been as puzzled as you were if it were me. The fact that you brought it over to the Planet to discuss proves that your boundaries are just fine! 🙂

Addendum: The language used by this person reminded me a little bit of ol’ Flossy who used to drive me to the brink over there. He loved to use big words and lots of “isms” to impress everybody. What a twit!

Kes, I know what you mean. I used to have to run all over the hospital to follow up on patients that I saw in the ER.

I check the obits every single morning! As long as my name is not there, things are great!! 🙂 At least, I’m still looking at the right side of the grass!! LOL

Good girl! I went back and read it again…and it’s even more weird the 2nd time around. Really creepy! I guess I had forgotten just how nasty some people are over at HP.

Thanks, Cher! You PlanetPeople are the best! I just love it here!!!!!!!!!!!

I would have to agree with Kesmarn on this one. I don’t understand what people get out of insulting someone they don’t know. Just because he read your previous posts does not qualify for “knowing you”. You don’t owe this creep any explanation for anything! It’s creepy people like this that become stalkers. They try to engage you by saying outlandish things.

Nighty-night, bit! Sleep tight…don’t let the bedbugs bite! 🙂

Hi Kes! I’ve been trying to reply to your comment earlier about my friend’s mom on the OT thread, but for some reason, your comment won’t come up. Thanks for asking, but I don’t think there was much hope from the outset. The fact that she hung on for this long was a miracle. But I guess the brain damage was just too much. She only made it for a few minutes after the ventilator was turned off.

The worst part is the impact on my friend, Ann. She has really agonized over having to make this decision. She feels guilty about it and I hope I will be able to help her through this difficult period.

Thanks again for your kind thoughts. BTW, what ever happened to your patient who was the radio operator in WWII? Did he and his wife ever get to be in the same hospital? I have thought about him and hope he is doing better.

You gotta’ be kidding!! Cher, what does all that gibberish mean? I take exception to the comment and hope, with all my heart, that this troll never finds the URL for the Planet! If he/she does, we’ll make mince meat out of him/her! Don’t give it another thought!

Addendum: I would not give this idiot the satisfaction of a reply. The more I think about it, the more it pisses me off that he would be so critical without knowing you in the least!

OMG!! Jon Stewart’s take on Beck’s interview with Ms. Mooseburger! Priceless!!!!

» Posted By Emerald1943 On January 14, 2010 @ 8:03 pm

I caught that! Wow! Maybe there is trouble in paradise!

» Posted By Emerald1943 On January 14, 2010 @ 7:50 pm

I completely agree with you on that, Javaz! This is almost like our own brand of “chat room” and I really like being able to touch base with friends here!

Good work, bit!

Just a thought…I watched the President’s statement about our aid to Haiti. Perhaps it was the lighting over his podium, but his hair is turning grey/white in front of our eyes!! No doubt, the job is taking its toll on him!

» Posted By Emerald1943 On January 14, 2010 @ 2:33 pm

Wow! Javaz, that’s almost eerie! I did exactly the same thing yesterday! Got rid of a bunch of stuff to the landfill, re-cycled some old electronics and plastics. It does feel good to clean out!

Two great minds…working together! LOL 🙂

Thank you, javaz! I will certainly convey your thoughts to my friend. It has really been hard on her. She was the one who had to make the decision to “pull the plug” and I can tell you, she was agonized.

I plan to talk to her tonight and hope to be able to post an update about the police investigation. I just hope they get this animal who did this.

Hope, seriously though…with all the crap coming out of Congress, surely some of these wits can come up with enough material! 🙂

» Posted By Emerald1943 On January 14, 2010 @ 12:28 pm

Hey bit, I’m so glad! My one goal is to make somebody smile today! 🙂

» Posted By Emerald1943 On January 14, 2010 @ 12:26 pm

Hey Sue…you don’t! There was a really funny ad on the boob tube about “clean coal” where the politician had a big black smudge on his nose. Wish I could remember…

I’ve got that CRS syndrome! Can’t Remember Sh*t!

I simply cannot look! “Fox News Analyst” my ass!

» Posted By Emerald1943 On January 14, 2010 @ 12:15 pm

Hi Hope! Glad you’re here! We all wish you many more smiles today! 🙂 I think Tiger and Whatsthatsound should collaborate and do a daily comedy routine! We need some comic relief around here sometimes! 🙂

» Posted By Emerald1943 On January 14, 2010 @ 12:13 pm

Eeeewww! You could have analogized all day without the “bottle of bile”! LOL One of my doggies is sickly today and has provided me with some of that! Yuk!

» Posted By Emerald1943 On January 14, 2010 @ 12:06 pm

Sorry, bit! I don’t know what I was thinkin’…

I guess I’m not used to all this FREEDOM! Ain’t it great??!!! 🙂

» Posted By Emerald1943 On January 14, 2010 @ 12:04 pm

PK is entirely tooooo nice to be over there! We need to do an intervention and get her out of there! 🙂

Some sad news today. Many of you, I’m sure, remember the terrible story about my friend’s mother who was brutally beaten in an attack in her own home. She had been in ICU in a coma since that time and on a ventilator.

I just received the news that she died late yesterday after my friend made the decision to discontinue the ventilator. There never was much hope of this 85 year old lady recovering from the skull fractures and other injuries. I do not have any news yet on the state of the investigation by the police, but I will post an update later as information becomes available.

I just want to thank all my friends here at the Planet who were kind enough to pray for this stranger. We are, after all, our brother’s keeper.

OT for sure…but I seem to notice that some of our best and brightest are missing. Has anyone seen Mogamboguru, peacekitten, or TheRarestPatriot?

» Posted By Emerald1943 On January 14, 2010 @ 10:52 am

Hi there, Sue! I’m glad to see you! And also too you betcha’!!

» Posted By Emerald1943 On January 14, 2010 @ 10:27 am

Hey bit! Thanks for the update. Maybe when our big ships get in they will have adequate fuel for just that. I’m sure they are carrying tons of it. Also, I just heard that our big hospital ship, the “Comfort” is heading in that direction…1,000 beds and 12 operating rooms.
