I can't think of a title for this

It's been a little different around here lately. Meloncoly I s'pose you could say.
My mom was placed on hospice a week ago. I'll be making the trip up there later this week while she is still somewhat lucid.
For those of you that don't know, the guidelines for Medicare to foot the bill of hospice, the diagnosis has to be 6 months or less to live.
I asked my dad if he understood what hospice means? He wasn't clear. I told him it means terminal, but I didn't tell about the 6 month thing.
I told him that they will not be giving her any more chemotherapy. He said, "well, we have 2 appointments this year, one in July and one in December. It's on the calendar here."

Denial. It's natural. After all, she's been his only love for over 61 years.
God bless him.
And please God, is it really necessary for her to suffer even more? You sure seem cruel and unloving at times.

Oklahoma! not the musical

I was in OK over the weekend. The OK! cousins and their friends needed some more people to win money from - and that is where the malemate and I came in.

Pecan trees are indigenous to OK and since the OK! cousins live on an acreage, there is much access to pecans. One afternoon I took the ATV and went out and picked up a bucket full. They were not that big this year, so getting a quart of meats will take awhile.

Whilst in OK, we took a drive around a 'hood' in Shawnee. It had mostly all brick homes. I'm thinking I will be readying this house for sale before the end of the year and yet another move will be occurring ... to OK ... to the mouth of tornado ally.

And speaking of blowjobs - doesn't that suck that the damn conservative masquerader McCain got the majority of the republican vote in the primary?
He better be careful with his arrogance regarding the republican vote.
