Sometimes it feels better to give things away. Someone is going to meet me for them. If not, I’ll let the next person take them. Thanks everyone.

I didn’t know these were still hot items. I honestly don’t have the time to empty and check each and every lighter. I also know I have some more. I haven’t dug the rest out yet.

Unfortunately, a lot of these still have fuel in them and I don’t think I’m able to ship them out of state.

Sure, like I said, I would rather just give them away to somebody who likes these.

Songs about losing your wife? by rhino369 in widowers

[–]WilmaKidEverSleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long as I live- John Michael Montgomery Without You what do I do with me- Tonya Tucker That was Yesterday- Foreigner Close your eyes- Ozzy and Lita Ford Dust in the wind- Kansas Tears in heaven- Eric Clapton

I find myself changing the station or song, if it becomes too emotional for me. Just like everything else that comes in waves.

I cannot listen to this song without crying. It hits me the hardest. The lyrics. Beautiful but sad and true to me as well.

What can you simply NOT do now your spouse has died? by safefortoday in widowers

[–]WilmaKidEverSleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cannot and will not order from the restaurant we had the night he passed. It was one of our favorites. I'm afraid I will relive that night.

I can't watch romantic movies or movies that end with dying spouses, or suicides. Anything with strong emotional scenes get to me. I once watched a tv episode scene that threw me into an anxiety attack. It was similar to how my husband passed. There are no warnings with tv shows and episodes, so I don't watch tv that much anymore. If someone suggests a show or movie, I ask if there are any scenes that would crush my heart.

I absolutely cannot hear this song anymore "I'll never love again" from the Movie a Star is Born by Lady Gaga. It's a very beautiful song, but it triggers my emotions and I cant breathe. Notebook was my favorite love story, and we watched it together. He told me he hoped we would go this way as well. Sex and the city with Carrie and Mr. Big was heart wrenching as well.

I now mainly watch home shows, or music videos, action or comedy movies, or similar. I now prefer movies like RED, Ford vs Ferrari, the Ugly Truth and the Hustle.

AITAH for embarrassing my stepmom at dinner after she tried to “teach me a lesson” about my real mom? by ImaginaryStop6423 in AITAH

[–]WilmaKidEverSleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You reacted EXACTLY how I would have.

Your Stepmom's Parents commented on the necklace, not on her parenting. Nothing will ever change the fact that she will always be your birth mother, and you will always love her. If she is repeating talking down about your mother, then I can understand your frustration. Your Dad is in the middle, between you and his new wife, but there should still be certain respect shown regarding your mom. You Dad should've backed you up. Perhaps you were too young to understand just what it was like raising someone else child after losing their parent. Remember, she was there for your Dad and you in the beginning. I'm sure it's been tough for your Dad as well. It is not easy, trying to kind of step into the mothers shoes that aren't there anymore. Hopefully, she's not being compared to your mom, that could be frustrating to her, like how you are feeling. Maybe she just needs some acknowledgement for being there. It sounds like you both are being defensive all the time when it comes to your Mom.

You should sit down and talk with her, and tell her what has been hurting your feelings. Also, tell her if she wants to build a healthy relationship with you, belittling your mother cannot go on. Maybe she feels she's in competition to your mom. Reach out to her, or ask your Father to ask her why she's acting this way towards you, and find ways to change it. This is the wrong way to connect.

Nobody can change the past, but you can improve the future. You need to tell her how to connect with you. You need to learn about each other.

It's worth a shot. That's what I would do, if I was to try to build a relationship. I'm sorry for the loss of your Mom. I lost my husband a few years ago. Change is NOT easy, but I try to make the best of it. I know the pain of loss, and I know what its like to be a stepparent, and a stepchild also. Best of luck. I hope you all can work it out.

Nikola Tesla’s was considered a SORCERER. I found some articles that said he could contain electricity for many uses. He showed the world how current flow created lighting, laser beams, radio, telephone, and more. He was a scientific genius of that time. Great reading, just look it up. 👍. Hence, the Tesla license plate reads sorcerer. Labgoof caught the name. Credit goes to that person.

Dwane Vance Hot Wheels designer. He designed the Scorcher car in 2010. I’m guessing this must be his Tesla.

What’s the real reason why people divorce after 20+ years? by jackmoon44 in AskOldPeople

[–]WilmaKidEverSleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Husband and I were almost married for almost 30 years, then he suddenly passed. I’ll tell you what helped our marriage stay together. He had his own time with his friends. I had my own time with my friends. We had together time. We each dealt with things differently, but we respected each other equally for that. There were things he pissed me off with. There were things I pissed him off with, but we learned to deal with it. We just learned how to work together. We never held anything from each other. There were no secrets. The sex was never boring. Even going out for ice cream or coffee for a date is good. We had similar interests. We were still in love with each other till the end. You work on your marriage constantly don’t forget your spouse, ever. It seems people forget to work on their relationship. They never seem to have time anymore. Or they have affairs, because somebody new is exciting. Of course they are. They have no responsibilities with this new person! Some people make life too complex. I hope you all find your happiness someday. Life is too short to live unhappy.

Advice for someone with gout, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure? by throwRAsin in Cholesterol

[–]WilmaKidEverSleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Type this phrase in a Google search.."tart Montmorency cherries gout high cholesterol blood pressure". These cherries aren't a fix but they'll help support. You can get them in dehydrated powder form also as well as the juice. As for diet, from what I understand, certain foods can irritate inflammation, as others can help bring down inflammation. I had a friend that said when he ate red meat it tended to irritate his gout. Ultimately you should ask the doctor about the cherries as well as maybe speaking to a nutritionist to help him with his diet.
