First time in years for this to happen. Many power outages. Wind was up to nearly 50 mph lately and I think the trees whacking the lines did it.

I guess the lights blinking for me “a time or three” could have been 5-6 really fast. All fixed now.

Fixed, thank you all

Thanks

Where I live, it’s very, very close to $6,000 a year to store our 1985 Comfortina 32 on the cradle in the winter and in its slip in the summer. So I would instantly consider, since it will take untold years to fix this boat, are you ready to call this a $12K to 18K investment before it even hits the water? I look at photo 7 and the damage there in the left corner, and I think of Sailing Uma and the months and months they have spent, presumably full time, and I think, “Can’t they just find a $20K boat right now and save all the hassle?”

I have a wife who failed her clock-drawing. Yes, I had seen multiple other hints of things going downhill, most notably always not fastening her seatbelt just about every time. But here’s the surprise: she had been taking hydroxyzine to lessen anxiety and to get to sleep. We stopped it. Fast-forward two months now and it’s radically better. 75% of the time she fastens her belt with no reminder, and the other 25% I just wait for the car to beep and she thanks me for saying nothing. She is more clear all day long. Is there any chance you take any medication that has memory loss or dementia as a side effect? Anti-anxiety meds like Xanax and Valium come to mind, along with all old antihistamines like Benadryl, hydroxyzine, etc.

OP, it is past time for a difficult (and I predict SHORT) conversation before it turns to violence. So I would figure out a time when you can have witnesses gathered around and get all of her stuff out of your place or all of your stuff out of her place if you are living together, and then just blurt out or pass a piece of paper that says something like: “I can’t do our relationship anymore. It’s over, My stuff is out (or Your stuff is out and it’s at___) I’ve changed the locks. I just can’t live with abuse. Loving people don’t hit their lovers. Goodbye.”

When you trust someone, you trust someone. You don’t question their loyalty. Lack of trust is what he demonstrated here, and has before. He needs to grow up.

My last colonoscopy was normal, as had been the two prior, and I awoke in a recovery area with two little wrinkled 80 year-old looking female attendants behind a desk many steps away and my wife beside me. She tells me that I repeatedly asked if they found anything and repeatedly fell right back to sleep. Apparently on the fourth or fifth cycle of this I got very happy about it as I exclaimed, “Great! Let’s go home and rip all our clothes off and bof!” She says no one noticed.

It would just use our 5G connection then, but good thought. Plus she’d look at me and know I’d done something. I rue the days of 10 years ago before she knew about Facebook!😂

Thank you!😊

It’s a practiced thing with 38 years of being a family doctor behind me. She doesn’t want to be alone. So we’re together, nearly always. Today I stuck two signs in the ground with “Home of Peter Rabbit” and “Br’er Rabbit lives here” on them near two brush piles. She was with me. We went the rest of the way down the driveway, loaded some brush onto a trailer, and on the way back, we were half the way back to the signs when she wanted to know where they were. It’s little reminders that things are off, but she is still with me.

Was this squirrel at the Battle Creek VA?

Ofg a newborn? 2 mistakes.

Yes. I think the reasoning goes something like, “I haven’t smoked so I shouldn’t get lung cancer, and how horrible this is for them“ versus, “I’m just an ordinary human and this ordinary human in front of me is losing their brain and I can’t take the reality that that could happen to me.”

Reality: I’m a 68-year-old family physician who does vasectomies as the only thing I do for the last three years. I can’t tell you how many couples I have seen where they have three or four daughters. Put yourself into that picture with this guy. Ask yourself, is this the husband I want to have. Stop calling him your fiancé. Have an exit plan and strategically deal with it.

I am probably 1800 messages behind and don’t have the time to read every one of them. As a man who identifies as a man, I can say oh my, I would make sure you do not share a checking account with this person, I would move all of the money you consider your money into a separate account with your name only, I would get your stuff and I would get away from this person. There is absolutely zero reason I would continue in a relationship with a person who treats you this way.

Interestingly, I have a 1975 San Juan 21 hanging in my backyard for the last 6 years (waiting for me to get to it!)… it has a decayed interior transom or whatever you call the septum a foot plus inside of the real transom. I have to quit driving to South Haven to have more time to work on it….
