November 2019: International Army

Re: November 2019: International Army

Yeah I suppose Molls - we'll won't know till the time comes - till we see what situation we are in. Do we feel ready to go .....
I hope I'd have the courage to do what Daddy Jacks did - so much more dignified.
Morphine would be nice too.

(sorry)

I agree Satz, hope I would be able to make the same choice. Working week over and going to Pilates tonight so trying to get something to eat.

How is the back JC? Hope you had a nice duvet day and it is much improved. Another horrible day here, where is all the rain coming from.

Re: November 2019: International Army

Wow! Must be strange to be able to say the working week is over on a Tuesday Rusters!!! I feel the week has hardly started!!

Heading to bed shortly - have a bit of a kidney infection.. feeling a small bit shabby.. so may say goodnight! xx

Re: November 2019: International Army

My (wry and rueful) joke is that we all should be issued 1 cyanide capsule to be used at the right time. Too risky, of course, but it would be nice to retain some control to the end.

We're set for Thanksgiving over here - kind of a tricky day for anyone on WW. I'm glad it is working for you, [MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION]. I seem to be incapable of tracking things or setting limits on myself so a different approach works better for me. I guess the key is to find our own ways out of everything we want to change.

Wishes for good health to all members with those irritating aches and pains! Take care, NS

Re: November 2019: International Army

Evening,
Forgot about Thanksgiving, Thursday, isn't it? Any tricky navigating around booze for you guys across the pond or is it more low key?
I think your Dad passed on, on his terms [MENTION=7008]JackieClaire[/MENTION]. What a way to go. Id have pressed the morphine button too though :nutso:

Re: November 2019: International Army

Hi all. Lots & lots of booze is served over Thanksgiving weekend. I used to start drinking in the morning to help me cook. Thankfully, that won't be a problem this year.

I know there are some options in my state for Death with Dignity. I don't know the details but I will be looking into it. I know that's a personal topic. Against so many beliefs.

Hope your back is better JC.

Re: November 2019: International Army

As a rock guitarist, along with many substances, i've likely had cyanide at some debauched party over the years. Probably had a quick vomit and carried on.

But seriously, i know having some control over popping your cloggs in certain scenarios is an important subject for many. Right now though i'm trying to cram in as much living as possible before the curtain drops.

Have a safe sober and magical week evabody.

No - as I was with alcohol I guess I would be with food - as soon as I would hear 'that's not good... or do this/do that..' -- immediately I'd want to do the opposite. Never went to a weight loss programme thingy - 'cept a few months before I got married - decided that at a size 10 and almost 6 foot that I was grossly overweight:egad: ( and that's a European size 10!) so used to go on a Monday night - would eat NOTHING all day Monday until after the weigh in - and then my pal and myself would dash into my mum's kit hen and CLEAR out the fridge/cupboards and anywhere else there was food!!!

My Uncle died a couple of years back - and many years ago he told me that he saved up any medication he got.. put it away in a secret place in preparation for 'that day' when he knew he wouldn't be able to go on living independently -- he lived in England so I wasn't around near the end - but he died very suddenly - I don't doubt that he got to 'that day' - and I was very very happy for him... talk about taking control!!!

Re: November 2019: International Army

Afternoon everyone. Hope JC and Molly are both feeling better. Managed to get long walk in but had to wait until after 10 a.m before we could chance it and were just back when it opened the heavens again. Puppy sitting today, he is so cute and is barking at door to get out already so no clean ups.

Started my Christmas house deep clean today, only the rooms that are not really used but the dust finds the way in regardless . Funny how I turn into my mother this time of year, the house was always cleaned from top to bottom. Better get back to it.

Re: November 2019: International Army

Evening,
I could move this morning so went into town so I went to the pharmacy and got some ointment and we've got co-codomol in the house. Lovely pharmacy assistant explained on usage very thoroughly, as well as using hot and cold pads on area of pain. You should have seen the huge queue behind me..........If looks could kill I'd be typing from the great beyond
[MENTION=15758]rustop59[/MENTION].....yep my mum did the big clean, so do we and then we'd go to my Granny's for Christmas and stay at least a week. Mr JC's got two days off next week for the BIG tidy.
Molls, no @@@ but feel better.

Re: November 2019: International Army

Evening.
The big clean.. I'm tired thinking about it.
Have a fabulous thanksgiving all, especially the next day when half the country are minding their hangovers :happy2:

We had to put our dog to sleep today. As we were at the vet, I had a thought. Here we are surrounding Molly with all our love, telling her goodbye & holding her as she gently went to sleep........and yet we let people suffer.

And now I'm off to continue crying. She was almost 13 years old. Could hardly walk, had already lost one eye and was almost blind in the other, was almost deaf but she was still doing ok. Was fine this morning and then suddenly couldn't walk or respond at all and was crying. Maybe it was a stroke?

Oh Nora, so so sorry for your loss :hug::hug: it never gets any easier, they are such a large part of our lives. Take extra special care of yourself and give that granddaughter of yours some extra hugs. Are you spending Thanksgiving with her?

Off to the city today to meet two friends, tour and lunch so need to get a move on. Waves to everyone else.

Re: November 2019: International Army

I am so very sorry Nora. Losing our dogs is the hardest thing in the world yet it is that ultimate gift we can give them to remove their pain and suffering. My heart goes out to you
