May 2020

cakes, ice cream, and candy filling the shopping bags..I always did the grocery shopping..until this crap happened - he is in his glory..with the pretense for doing the shopping so as to protect me..LOL..he did say passionately he doesn't want me to get sick...I believe him, 'cause if he doesn't, we have NO groceries..(mind you, it has been 37 years)

Anyway, I was feeling guilty this week, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer a year ago, finished radiation last Sept..9 weeks, 5 days a week..his PSA is coming down tremendously..but still, I feel his immunity has been compromised..so I ordered groceries, I went over for Pick up..first time..went rather well..

3 items not available..one being my attempt to get him his goodies, eclairs..don't worry,he has plenty of cake, cookies, and ice cream from his last swing through the aisles..Humor is our best friend...

The AR-15 is easier to buy in many states GopherGal May 2020 #21

Consider that line stolen. TheCowsCameHome May 2020 #54

I'm honoured anytime someone uses a line I post in DU. But some are not original. That one is. . .nt Bernardo de La Paz May 2020 #55
