This story was SO FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your imagination is ........ It makes me smile and laugh and shake my head at how wonderful your thoughts are to come up with a very plausible story!!!
Bravo my friend!!! Bravo!!
ps. sorry, it took me so long to read. Life has been..... Please keep my Mom in your prayers. I am leaving in a week to go down and hopefully get her on the mend and back to enjoying her almost 85 years on this Earth.
Thanks again for reading my story and giving me feedback, you're the best!
I have been there with my parents who both passed away in 2005. I took care of my Dad for years shuffling him back and forth on two-hour drives to spend the afternoon at the VA hospital. He was treated for a condition that he got at 18 years old during WW II, and for his hearing, for his teeth, for his eyes, and for skin cancers that routinely popped up on his face. But you know what, that was probably the best time we ever spent together, we were both adults and there were no parent-child walls between us. I talked to him many times more during those trips than I ever talked to him when I was living at home, and we were always close. But it is hard to find time to talk to someone who works 3 jobs, and me having school and after-school sports activities. The cancer finally spread, and my Dad didn't last long after that, Three months later Mom passed away from a massive heart attack while in the hospital for tests
What I'm trying to say is that even though this may be very difficult for you and I'm sure that it will add some stress to your life, you can still use the time wisely and try to have as much quality fellowship with your Mother as possible. I don't know what your relationship is with her, my wife and her Mother have always had a strained relationship, mainly because they are too much alike. But whenever her Mother gets sick or is struggling with something, who do you think she calls? That is because deep down her Mother knows who loves her and who will advocate for her proper treatment.
Anyway, I will pray for you and your Mother, I'm sure that all will work out. This is the part of life that we all dread and we all must deal with at some point if we live long enough. You are a strong woman, it will be okay.
This trip will be hard.
If I can not get her healthy I need to bring her here and find a nice place for her to live that has meals and nursing help. Plus people that are friendly. Since my Dad passed away five years ago I have been the only one to go down to Florida to help her when needed.
My Husband is understanding but this time will be for months.....
She has blood cancer, a rare kind and her blood is too thick which helped cause a sore, now an open wound on her ankle that has not healed in over 6 months......but she is stubborn and doesn't listen....
My husband says we are a lot alike. LOLL He is correct there. Yet this time she will need to listen or soon will lose her foot......sooooooo....... again not looking forward to what is ahead knowing if it was me at 84 and 3/4th I would be the almost same way she is.
What you say about your Wife is exactly what Mom and I have going on. I feel for your wife :D It is hard knowing it is up to you to make the hard choices.
BUT. saying all that, we do have fun together and will once we settle in and she realizes until her leg is healed she is not moving :D I am sure that will go well LOLLL
Just a suggestion on your stories......
can you break them up into smaller posts? I think how long they are makes it so people do not read them as much. Do not water the story down PLEASE!!! I love all the detail you put in but they do take a while to read and a lot of people now just read on their phones.
so something to keep in mind when making posts :D
BUT do NOT water down your stories PLEASE!! I might be late reading them but they are so freaking Great!!
and what in ............ are you doing awake at 2:45 AM ??? Hmmm?
It will probably be a long time before I write a story like that one again, I just couldn't get it off of my mind after I daydreamed about it one afternoon from beginning to end. I really, really appreciate the feedback, and if there is a next time, I will certainly break it up into smaller chapters.
I have a question for you, do you use some type of auto upvote app or do you get an alert when certain people that you follow post? I had just posted the last part of that story and you had seen it right away. I'm fumbling around here trying to read and comment to the posts of the people that I know and it is still so clunky on Hive. The Scorum UI is so much easier!
Speaking of Scorum, now that the Scorum World blogging site has launched and Scorum is not just about sports anymore, you should open up an account and try to load up with at least 1K SP. That is equivalent to 14K HP and if Scorum can pull off what they are now working on the value of Scorum coins will take off. Hopefully, there will be a bridge, or at least an easy trading block set up between Hive and Scorum soon.
My wife and I have been retired for a long time and we have basically been in lockdown for over two years trying to avoid Covid, we both have multiple co-morbidities. So our sleep times are "Whenever." We are normally in bed by 2 AM but if either of us is caught up in a show, movie, or anything else interesting then we just stay up until we are both ready for bed. This morning we finally turned the lights out at 4 AM and I was back up at about 9:10 AM. I usually sleep 6-7 hours after we turn out the lights, but I stayed awake almost an hour after lights out, then I woke up early, there is too much going on in the world and I have always hated to sleep.
When I was young and in the military I slept 2-5 hours a day, and it was not unusual for me to go 2 days or more without any sleep. I was almost always the last man standing after a party, and if I was still going strong I would simply find another party after the one I was at died. I'm pretty sure that I'm paying for those days now, but when your young you don't really think that your going to live this long. 😉
use this site to post. It shows you your comments really nicely https://ecency.com/@deaconlee
I use this program for auto voting. https://hive.vote/dash.php
I had added you to my list right after I saw you had come back.
Make sure you go in and change your Master Key. The keys you are using now are your Steemit keys. so you want to change them so the accounts do NOT have the same keys.
Plus I use GinaBot. Here is a post I found about it..not sure how recent it is. https://hive.blog/steemit/@jheff-shayd/a-begineers-guide-to-rising-on-steemit-using-ginabot-to-give-you-notifications
It gives you Discord notifications about if someone posts and so on.......
will read this again later when I have more time to answer better but at least it is a place for you to start :D
Oh and use Keychain. It is a chrome browser exstention
Okay thanks, I will try to figure it all out over the weekend.
