I was notified of a Carolina Dog but it's 100 miles away so about $30 in gas just to check it out. I filled out an application then backed out and didn't hit the send button. I would have to see the dog to check conformation sometimes volunteers aren't very accurate with breed identification. The eyes (eyeliner look) and ears look pretty good.

I'm worried the people who wanted my pups are backing out. They haven't e-mailed back. I'll have to wait and see how things go.
Shan, I'm very sorry to hear that. I hope things get resolved quickly. I hope whatever action you have taken against the facility works out in your favor (and for the good of the patients). I'm guessing there's more malpractice. Sorry your Mom is in ICU but glad she's still alive.

@Spicoli43 He uses a funny voice in his videos which I'm guessing some people might have trouble getting used to, but I like his presentation style and his sense of humor, and most of all every recipe I've tried by him has been excellent. I listened to an interview with him once and his sensibilities about food and cooking are very sharp and well thought out, you can tell he gets it.

I wanted strawberry preserves so started to make two-ingredient biscuits. The heavy cream had a best by Feb 22 date but still tasted sweet so I continued. If the cream had spoiled I was thinking milk with some oil added but how would I get it to emulsify for the same simplicity of mixing as with the cream. Then I recalled the science experiment that bud16415 posted on the homemade mayo thread. That in turn prompted me to search for a mayo biscuit recipe.
So my thought for next time is to use 1C SR flour and 1/2C (milk and 3tbs mayo blended) to make 4 large biscuits. If that works out well it also helps solve the problem of using up the homemade mayo before it spoils.
Chef John's minute steak with egg is also in my future,

I got up early & went to see my friend. He was out of diapers and there weren't any in town. He's put in 77hours of overtime work (he gets paid overtime for going to a different casino farther away) this week. We ate at Panda (Chinese restaurant) and then I got the diapers at samsclub. Grabbed some stuff for Mom (tempura shrimp) and stopped at Autozone to grab stuff to fix laptop cord. He fixed it and I have my laptop charging up again. He said once he's accrued enough $ from working overtime he'll come out and fix some stuff up at my house-- finish reconnecting some of the waterlines etc.
I drank some orange juice (fresh squeezed at Samsclub) and am actually feeling fairly good today. I'm cooking yellow rice for Mom and will take a nap after.

This morning's musings of a loon (me)
Fb post:
Today is a day that we celebrate freedom in America, however, freedom has a different meaning this year.
My mom wants freedom. I tried to find out exactly what kind of freedom she wanted, so that I could pray more specifically.
I asked if she wanted freedom from the hospital? Freedom from fear? Freedom from health problems? Freedom from this life that she would never want to live the way she is?
She told me to just forget it. I tried to explain that we are supposed to be specific in our prayers.
On the rare occasions that I can get her to look directly at me when we are talking, I see so much anger and hatred in her eyes.
We have never had an "easy" relationship, yet I have spent the majority of my life over the past 20 years trying to help her to have a better life than she had in her younger years.
All I have ever wanted for her was for her to be truly happy, and "free" from the heartaches she has experienced in life.
My mom needs freedom from so many things: fear, anger, resentment, disappointment, past failures, lost hope's and dreams, but mostly...... she need freedom from whatever this perceived "evil" she has mumbled about. She needs spiritual freedom.
On this day of "freedom". I just pray that as she cries out to God, she can begin to get the freedom from whatever it is that she won't articulate and that we can have a peaceful visit today without her fussing about everything that I say or do, and that I can have the words she needs to hear, and not the words that I want to say.
If you're about to celebrate today. Don't just celebrate Americas freedom. Celebrate the people you love, the good life that you live, and the ability to rise above generational curses and dysfunction. Rise above the negativity in life and hold onto the positives. This life we lead is a warzone, armor up and be spiritually prepared for what life throws your way because that devil will stab you where it hurts the most.
I have been her with her since about 11, it has been a pleasant visit thankfully.
Still in ICU

I seem to remember having a car that the radio and lighter were on the same fuse...
I picked up some diapers for a friend last week, she wasn't getting any more delivered before tomorrow...
I need to get back to my casino, haven't been there in a while... lost interest when the slot machines went dead as they recovered from/survived the plandemic... they sucked money and gave no wins... I'm missing the additional income from there...
Did I miss it? What happened to your rattlesnake?
Lunch looked delicious... if chicken... not mutton...
LOL ! ... I'm hoping we finally get freedom from all religions and the religion-fueled-wars such as in Ukraine/Russia and Israel/Iran today...

Shan, Prayer works · · · I recall an experience where I left my wife around midnight after a bad day in the hospital. She was going down fast symptoms were trouble swallowing (they gave her a swallowing test earlier), couldn't clear her throat, slurred speech and head listing to one side. As I drove home crying and praying I got a clear revelation in my mind · · · it's the medication. I couldn't think of any changes in meds. But as I drove on it came to me a tiny gel, what was it called?
When I got home I googled the closest thing I could recall, "teflon pearls". The google hit was "Tessalon Perles". I could hardly sleep and got up early raced to the hospital and told them to take her off the med. They said the doctor would have to change the orders but that she could refuse them. The doctor that ordered the swallowing test came in and told me she was progressing well. I chewed him out telling him about the med and that she was exhibiting every side effect. It turns out that an alternate to her admitting doctor had added the med because she was coughing and no one had noticed the added med.
Several hours later I ran into the doctor I had chewed out for patronizing me. He's really a nice guy and he said, "you were right about the med".
A patient in a hospital or nursing home needs an advocate and a smart one. A patient can be lost in one day due to a mistake or simply a lack of communication.

Buzz, it's chicken sticks-- Chicken cooked with ginger and some other spices. It's delicious. The long beans had onions with them but I had to make sure not to get any since I can't eat onions. They weren't cooked down enough to cling to the beans and make me sick though. I have a problem with hydrated onions.
Rattlesnake disappeared after we scared it. The snake expert said it probably moved on because it didn't feel safe there anymore. We really scared the hell out of that poor thing. I kinda feel bad for it because it was just trying to find a nice cool place to chill out and be safe & then we came along and it probably thought we were trying to eat it.
Shan, maybe you can pray for her to have whatever type of freedom it is that she wants.
I personally do not believe in prayer, but if people feel comforted by praying I won't discourage it. Although if action can help, I always encourage action over prayer (or in conjunction with it). I remember a story about my grandfather wanting a new car and he was praying and praying until my grandma finally walked over with a newspaper and said "Ray, God helps those who help themselves. He's not going to drive a car over here and leave it at your doorstep if you pray enough-- you have to actually *look* for one! Take this newspaper and look in the classifieds for one or get up and go to some dealerships!"
Eddie, I'm glad you chewed out the doctor and made them aware of the added med. That really shouldn't have happened-- they should have known what she was given. Sounds like malpractice. But you spoke to them and advocated for your wife and that helped. How is your wife doing now?
I never got in to the whole casino thing. My friend works at the arcade part. He told me that he went to Paragon casino for his work (he works for alpha omega entertainment) & that the employees there were absolute jerks, didn't bother to do their jobs, & had to be re-trained. But he caught them having a group chat right after his meeting where they showed gross insubordination & were trashtalking everyone but him. He screenshotted it, sent it to their bosses (some of whom were being trashtalked) and on the ride back got a call from the bosses telling him to call all of those people up and tell them they were fired. He wants the current manager of the arcade where he normally works to be fired because she's been there since November, still doesn't know how to do her jobs, and aggravates customers. She was ripping customers off on their token purchases & then gave customers attitude when they tried to get their $ back or get the correct amount of tokens.
His coworker who isn't actually working is still coming in and hiding in the office doing jack squat while collecting $. I think he gets paid $17/hr to sit on his behind. He wants to get them to hire my brother and fire the other guy. He knows my brother will be able to do the job. Hell, if they fire the other guy, I'm tempted to apply. Some stuff just involves removing a couple of screws. I can do that.
I'm tired today because I couldn't sleep well last night. Brother woke me up looking for Namir and then cats were hungry so they were walking all over my head and letting me know they wanted food. My brother had refused to bring in the cat food bags from the truck so I had to get up in the middle of the night to go get a bag since they were out. I had to wrangle the puppies to get through the front room but I made it and fed them. Yasuke is currently sleeping with his chin and paw on my wrist. I'd take a pic but my phone is too far away to reach.
Mom has a doctor appointment tomorrow so I need to make sure she can find all of her clean laundry and/or wash more for her.

Zann, I lost my wife almost five years ago. She went into septic shock, core temp went down and kidneys shut down. Later I learned that these might be somewhat rare side effects of the tamoxifen she was on for breast cancer. It was never discussed at the time. I prolly could have sued but what good is money when one's lost their soulmate?
I've had a troll insist that hawthorn berry is not controlling my blood pressure because it's anecdotal. I suspect he doesn't understand the true meaning of the word. If my observation is that it works and I found the right dosage by experimentation that's scientific as far as I am concerned. It might be anecdotal to someone else or it might work for them too. Maybe the same for prayers, only helps true believers and followers but that's a whole 'nother story (not for this forum).

Eddie, may be time to look around for some more companionship... maybe not marriage, just someone to go places with once in a while, talk to, take your mind off other things... maybe your wife would tell you the same thing...
It may be Placebo Effect... if you think the berries work, the thought calms you down, they kind of do... but if they work, that's fine... not hurting anybody else... except maybe doctor's wallets.... LOL!
I live a very healthy lifestyle... lots of physical work... lots of fun... no addictions... at 74 blood pressure hangs around 65/115... about like a 15 year old's... heading for 150 years old?

I have a circle of friends, I just meant that a sum of money wouldn't replace my wife. I will run out days before I run out of money anyway since I am debt free.
My test with hawthorn berries was scientific for me. I experimented until I found the proper dosage. Also I have had to adjust upward over the last 20+ years as I age. I don't think placebo effect applies to controlled experimentation plus as I reported on another thread I just happened onto the BP control as I was taking the supplement for another reason.
