Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Good morning and thanks for the great quotes last week Slo! Supposed to rain today. We need it bad. Hope everyone has a good Sunday. Another 24 for me please and thank you.

Another 24 hours please & thank you.

Another day of staying home but my day will be brightened by a Face Time visit with kids and grandkids.

Saw this online this morning and thought it a good reminder for how serious this pandemic is. “April distance brings May existence”

Stay safe everyone and have a great af Sunday!

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Thanks for last week's quotes, Slo. Thinking of you...

ABC, that is a wondeful quote. I sure hope we all remember to do just that after this is over.

I'll take another 24, please and thank you!

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

That was a perfect quote for today and for our current times, Cowboy. Thankyou! And thanks for the carry out breakfast as well. Delicious treat for after Church.

But I was so disappointed on that front today. I have been watching our local priest say Mass since this distancing policy went into effect. I was going to watch today's Palm Sunday service but when I opened up the Facebook page was instead greeted with a message that Mass had been postponed. I tuned in later in the morning only to see a post that Mass was cancelled. The church was broken into last night, vandalized and items were stolen. I am so saddened by this, but not surprised. The local paper had printed an article about how the services had been streamed online for the faithful. I'm sure some opportunistic person saw that article and thought they could help themselves to some electronic equipment. I'm just guessing, of course. I don't know what items were stolen.

Beyond that disappointment, I hope we all have a good and healthy Sunday. 24 more hours, please and thank you.

4 weeks ago I woke up hungover and full of regret.

Today I woke up glad that I did not drink last night. ODAAT

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Wonderful quote and brekkie yesterday cowboy! Thank you!

That's so sad about your church being broke into [MENTION=7944]dill[/MENTION]! There have been a rash of burglaries in my area as well, which only adds to the paranoia that already exists from this pandemic. I worry about my 96 year old neighbor who lives alone. Maybe I'll let her borrow one of my dogs! I have 3 so I could easily spare one!

Great job everyone for staying sober in these uncertain times!

Humbly asking for another 24 please and thank you!

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Good morning Cafe. Dill, that’s terrible about your church! Drifty, congrats on 1 month! Thanks for the great breakfast Cowboy. Slo, hope you are doing ok. Hi Ginger, Narly QW, Pauly and anyone else I missed. My granddaughter showed me how to do a group face time call so we were able to get all the kids on one call. For us it was great to see them all at the same time! It’s challenging not to go stir crazy during this crazy time. Another 24 for me please and thank you.

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

My uncle’s wife had early onset Alzheimer’s. It can be quick when it’s early onset! My friend’s husband died of Lewy Body dementia a couple years ago, so I got the description of what that is like, and some of the characteristics of it. That was reasonably quick also, mercifully.

Your crocus photo sounds amazing, QW, what with the crisp background illuminating the details of the petals. You worked hard for it too!

I appreciated yesterday’s quote. I did not appreciate my brother enough, and now he’s gone. Although I appreciated him the last time I was with him, and basked in the delight of his presence. But then he totally misinterpreted something I said and left abruptly, leaving me totally confused. So I kept asking my daughter, “Why was he mad? Why did he leave so suddenly?” She didn’t pick up on it and thought everything was fine, and I let that false assurance placate me for awhile; thinking I must be being too analytical again. But it still made me feel...sad & scared, and lacking confidence. I would think each week after that of texting him about this or that, but then would think, “No, that might set him off.” Traumatized people who get in a bad place sure can be touchy. Like, I want to reach out, but I don’t want to make things worse!
I did get daughter to invite him over one more time after that late January visit, for early February, but he declined. And now he’s gone forever.

I’m heading up to his apartment today to pack some things, and then will babysit Beckett for three days while D1 starts back to work! (at home) Didn’t think I’d be allowed, but I guess they want me to.

I didn’t realize that burglaries would be a fallout from this too!! But, I suppose all the vacated buildings leaves an opportunity for burgers to strike.

Drifty, that’s wonderful that you are waking up happy and with a month in already!

24 more hours sober for me, please.

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Dill, that's absolutely horrible about the church! Very sad, they said on the news that crime in Vegas is actually down-im shocked, especially cuz of the kinds of people who live here, Slo, stop second guessing, I do it ALL the time still even 3 years later but it doesn't help, it helped me for a bit to be mad at him for a bit, I dunno everyone copes different, have fun with the baby 6:08 am in Vegas another 24

[Quit wining]

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Another 24 hours please & thank you.

Congrats on 4 weeks Drifty!

Slo, I’m glad you’ve got 3 days of Beckett therapy ahead! Nothing like spending time with grandbabies to make you feel great.

We had a great visit with our kids and grandkids via Face Time yesterday and then last evening, Mrs QW read a bedtime story to our granddaughter. Not the same as a real visit and a hug but the next best thing these days.

Stay safe and af everyone!

Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Dill, so sorry about your church.

ABC, I love Dr. Seus. He was such a genius.

Slo, have fun with Beckett. I'm a little surprised your kids want you to come into their home during this time. Two of our gkids have bdays this week. One family didn't even consider a party and the other informed us by text yesterday they were having a party(x-dil). I responded asking why they weren't social distancing. She responded, "We are family". I reminded them family can spread it too. The thread went silent after that. We won't be going. Sad but it's too chancy. I'd like us all to come out on the other side of this alive! Ugh

I'll take another 24, please and thank you!
