Thanks to all of you, it means so much that you still read and talk to me here, even though my daily blog skills are gone. I am alive and so far, so good. You and I were right, it is Diabetic Neurpothy (spelling sucks, sorry). The nerves and blood vessels in my foot and leg are being destroyed by Diabetes. It sucks because I am on the lower end of the disease, I take my meds for eating and for the nerves, I eat mostly right and have even started vaping over smoking, but, it still got me. It is an evil and mean disease that kills in a horrible way. I have started a new med regimin meant to stave it off and possibly reverse the damage. I think we all know that last part is a stretch. But, hey, they did not stick me in a hospital bed and I am thankful to be home fighting with my lazy, ungrateul kid that I love to pieces and am catching up on some weird Netflix shit. If you have viewing suggestions, please..go ahead. I watch about anything.
Feelin' almost human, I will try a real post in the morning, my friends.
"Seven Psychopaths" "War of the Buttons"
ReplyDeleteKeep on keeping on. I hope you feel better
Sorry I've been very distant lately. I'm turning into a Netflix couch potato recluse. Really enjoyed binging on Love. Just fun and easy and while love is not a part of my life anymore, it's fun watching people in their early 30's freaking out about it. You'll like it. Refreshing after House of Cards, that's for sure. I'm sorry to hear that the diabeties is getting the better of you. I hope the new meds bring some improvement. Big hugs.
ReplyDeleteYou can stop it and even reverse it. You can do anything. I'm sure of it.
ReplyDeleteWho gets Alyssa the pan girl, when you croak?
ReplyDeleteCareful, obnoxious anon. She knows stuff. Spells and stuff. With a little incantation and the snap of a finger she might turn you into a toad. Then you'll be the one croakin'.
ReplyDeleteBorder Collie, there are days I think I might love you. Even if it makes me sound like a pan girl to say it (sorta) out loud. It's raining. I'm going to erect some boards near the puddles on which to proclaim my love, lol, like yard-stake political placards, only better.
Disher, hang in there.
I'm sorry to hear of your difficulties. Check out "The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmitt". It's cute.
ReplyDeleteJust rest up on your sofa with a nice cup of tea and enjoy the BBC series MANOR HOUSE it's the real life DOWNTOWN ABBEY.
ReplyDeleteAn Edwardian home and how it manages the upstairs and downstairs services , parlor, kitchen , library , dining aspects of country life.
It's entertaining and informative also real. Hope you feel better soon Pat. Take care.
Kiki :)
I am so impressed that you have given up smoking for vaping. That is huge. I hope it helps your diabetic status. I knew what it was when you described the symptoms, but I just hoped it would be reversible. I hope that the new medications and the changes you have made will really help you regain some circulation and feeling in that foot.
ReplyDeleteAs far as viewing suggestions, I am really no-one to make suggestions, as my tastes run to things like Gilligan's Island. As usual, I will just jump in head first, though. As far as movies that I have here, at home, I like the whole Terminator series, The Mary Hartman series, The X Files, including the new ones, the first new Mummy movie, Sense and Sensibility, The entire Call the Midwife series, The Office, Office Space, Guardians of the Galaxy, the original Tremors, Arachnaphobia, Expedition Unknown, The Silence of the Lambs, The Pioneer Woman, America Unearthed, Any of the Transformers movies, Battleship, The Hobbit trilogy, Lord of the Rings, Finding Bigfoot, any episodes, and People's court with Marilyn Milian (I think she has a heart, and I love it when she uses Spanish expressions and explains them.) I consider this list mostly useless, as I don't think it's really your taste, but I could be wrong, so there you have it.
I hope you heal well and quickly. My wishes for you are that your stress decreases, so you can heal better.
Christina
Watch the movie "Chef" if you haven't seen it yet! So much fun!!!
ReplyDeleteHello Christina
ReplyDeleteI also watch the people's court & judge millian is funny with her
Quenos mas machos Cuban coliquoilisms.
The cheap comes out expensive. Lol
She's endearing indeed.
Kiki :)
Pat, I'm so worried about you. But you have been through so much and have made it, I know you will work through this and will fight it all the way. I am sending every bit of positive energy I have to you. Like Border said, if it can be done, you can do it. Are we silly to think that? Maybe, but you are a fighter. So keep on fighting! We are with you.
ReplyDeleteChristina, what an eclectic choice of viewing. I see many things on that list that I like. I really like any mystery or suspense. Or if I'm in that kind of a mood, any Monty Python. (ratfish)
Hope your pain decreases and you feel better.
ReplyDeleteI've been recovering from an illness and binging on Netflix/Amazon/iTunes lately. Here's what I've watched to pass the time;
The Killing
House of Cards
Love
Ray Donovan
The Affair
Poldark
Transparency
Cooked
Master of None
Chelsea Does ( I dislike her but I liked these shows on hot topics on Netflix)
Cuckoo
Broad City, Peep Show ( these are all on YouTube), The I.T Crowd - they're all my faves.
ReplyDeleteTake care DD.
LB in Sydney.
Try Flaked on Netflix.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Whatever Happened Miss Simone.
ReplyDeleteI just tried to watch Flaked, not funny. Not sure what they're trying to convey, or how it's meant to be entertaining..
LB
The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia (documentary)
ReplyDeleteI like the Star Wars.
ReplyDeleteOh Pat Im so sorry that this beastly disease is affecting you so much!
ReplyDeleteIts a daily battle to keep it reined in for me too. I hope the meds help lessen your pain.
Hows Lissas volleyball game doing? Is there a position she prefers to play?
I have to find Manor House. Is it on Netflicks or what?
ReplyDeleteI am wearing a shirt that says Dogton Abbey on it. I will miss Downton.
When is Call the Midwife back? I am anxious for the thalidomide to play out. I hate to be kept hanging for a year.
I think it will be back sometime this spring, if I remember right. So, it can't be that far off. I check the schedule every few days. I am still rewatching the Christmas special periodically. I absolutely love that show.
ReplyDeleteChristina
Thanks Christina, and do you know where Manor House can be viewed. I looked and it isn't on netflilx and doesn't show up on tv guide.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will feel better soon, Pat.
ReplyDeleteManor House is available on Amazon Prime if you are a subscriber.
I also found episodes 2-6 on youtube. For some reason, episode 1 is not available there.
Several of the PBS house series are on youtube. Just search "PBS house series" and you'll find Colonial House, Frontier House, Texas Ranch House, The 1900 House, 1940s House, etc.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I do have Amazon Prime although I only seem to get it on the tv I hardly ever watch. I guess I'll have to call the TV manufacturer and have them tell me how it can appear on my most watched tv. I hate the tech calls, but need to do it. Appreciate it CatsPaw.
ReplyDeleteBorder, is your less-watched TV a "smart TV"? It may receive Amazon Prime because it was able to download an app like that directly.
ReplyDeleteIf your most-watched TV is not a smart TV, it probably needs an Amazon Fire or Amazon Fire Stick or a Roku or other streaming device to receive it.
My TVs are not "smart" so I bought a Fire Stick for about $40 and it works great. (You must have wi-fi.) I pull in my Netflix connection with it as well, and I'm trying out Sling TV right now. I can move the stick from one TV to the other easily if I want it in the other room.
I'm far from expert on this stuff, but that may be why you can receive Prime on one TV and not the other.
Taffy, I like Absolutely Fabulous also. I just feel so sorry for the daughter. Such a funny mess to be into.
ReplyDelete@Jane
ReplyDeleteI loved the episode when Patsy sells Saffy into slavery when they're in Morocco. Or Patsy set the kitchen on fire and survives. lol
Saffy is depressing.
We have had so much rain and some places have been flooded for a few days now. Graveyards are in trouble because vaults are starting to float. We usually see this after a hurricane. It's really weird to see where the vaults end up when the water goes down. The dead aren't walking but they are moving. Probably looking for a dry spot.
ReplyDeleteBorder Collie, Call the Midwife returns the first Sunday in April. I looked it up a day or so ago because I can't wait for it either. Such a great show.
ReplyDeleteYes! That gives me something to look forward to. Love Call the Midwife.
ReplyDeleteWe're having beautiful spring weather today and I love to be able to open the doors and windows and let fresh air in. There'e just one problem, one of my neighbors is cooking something that smells really good. And it's making me salivate. Maybe I'll just drop by to visit at suppertime.
ReplyDeletePeople are so funny, Jane. Sometimes I think that if we didn't invite ourselves, they would just keep forgetting to invite us. I'm glad you are taking the initiative.
ReplyDeleteChristina
Happy St. Patrick's Day, Pat, and everyone else!
ReplyDeleteI am having a family dinner at my place tonight, and have lots to do, as my alarm didn't go off, and the place still looks trashed. Yay! Let's drink a toast to that big ol'hairy assed monster (no, not tia), I'm talking about adrenaline. Time to see how much I can get done before they all get here.
Christina
Happy St. Patty's Day y'all!
ReplyDeletePat, I continue to think of you all the time and send healing energy and you-know-whats your way. I am always anxious when you don't post for awhile, though I am sure you have other things on your mind and would post if the muse was able to find you right now.
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of items to add to your viewing list, but again, you know how my taste runs. (Giant roll of eyes )
All of the sudden I can't precisely remember any of their names. Oh, well, here goes. . .
Either Finding Hitler or the Hunt for Hitler. It's based on documents released according to the freedom of information act. Thereare numerous mentions of the CIA tracking Hitler ' s whereabouts after the war, when he was supposedly dead.
Treasure of Oak Island
Pirate Treasure. I am sorry that I really don't remember the name of that one. I think it is Captain Kidd's pirate vessel that they have found the wreckage of,where he scuttled it, literally in harbor, a stone's throw from shore.
I hope you will be feeling better soon, Pat.
Christina
ReplyDeleteHi Pat,
Hope you are doing well and taking care of yourself. I was on the road and visiting people I had not seen since I left the last time I left. I miss home and I'm thinking about staying for good and saying good bye to the chaos in my life every time I leave and have to reconnect. I am a loner by nature but now I feel that my lifestyle creates an emotional space with people I care about that if I don't nurture now; it will stay empty forever.
I watched "Buck" on netflix and liked the story. Refreshing to see a person so comfortable with themselves.
Hi kiki, I have been eating shortbread (martha stewart's recipe) every day. So easy to make and delicious. Hi Jane!!.
Jarhead
Oh and I hope everyone is giving their support to Donald Trump. It's important for the future of our country.
ReplyDeleteJarhead
Jarhead, I have a nice big pitcher of Kool-Aid for ya!
ReplyDeleteWhite people will be the minority in America within 30 years. It's a fact.
ReplyDeleteJarhead
I was so impressed with the Hunt for Hitler show. They turned over rocks (literally) that had not been touched in years. I wish this could have been done years ago when the people who knew what was what were still alive. But I know that's why there was a time limit put on the freedom of information act. But think of all the history that was lost. That series just opened up so many "what ifs". I hope they show it as a marathon soon. I will be glued to the tv.
ReplyDeleteChristina, I see where we have pretty much the same likes in viewing. I'm also an Oak Island fan. Do you think they will ever find the bottom?
Jarhead, are you making sounds of domestication? You seem to be the type of person who as long as your body holds out, will be "overly" active. Could you settle down in one place?
Pat, I've been thinking of things to watch lately because you asked and people have come up with some really good picks. I always find when I'm in a down mood that anything by Mel Brooks (even the bad ones) will make me laugh. Blazing Saddles will always be my favorite. (And again---Monty Python!)
Spring is definitely here. After spending so much time outside yesterday, I woke up with huge swollen eyes. Yes, with Spring comes pollen! I look like something from Face Off.
Trump is our last hope.
ReplyDeleteJarhead
Anyone voting for Trump doesn't have a brain cell working and is a total moron. Why don't we just elect one of the Kardashians? Their "business sense" seems to be just as good if not better than Donald Drumpf. At least they haven't filed for bankruptcy 4x. But his ideas are really big and really good. Give me a fucking break. Yeah let's all vote for Deumpf because he's tough and macho. Please don't inflict this little dick'd, Hitler wannabe on this country. We are already the laughing stock of the world for even allowing this goon in the race. This country is hopelessly stupid.
ReplyDeleteThanks, everybody! You named many of my favs already, but, a few I haven't seen. I'm on it.
ReplyDeleteJane, jesus! at fucking floating vaults. A horror show for sure.
Trump is divine..he insures us a Dem for Pres.
ReplyDeleteHi,
Pat,
That was not me making the Trump comment by the way. I am on the record making the point that I think all politicians suck and that any extremist view on either side of the spectrum is nothing more than a ploy to suck money from the populous. I would never endorse a politician or pretend to know what is best for anyone based on my own views.
Jane,
I do feel that I need to stay home and heal. But yes, I can't stay still in one place.
Jarhead
ReplyDeleteBesides that "divine" is not a word I would use.
Trump is a clown.
Cruz is creepy.
Clinton is a lying, insincere, entitled and completely sold out puppet of any paid interest.
Sanders is an opportunist pseudo socialist.
Anyone who makes a living from "public service in elected office is there to make a thrive from the Government trough at the expense of taxpayers.
Jarhead
Jarhead, I believe we all know who was using your name. Sometimes we just have to plow through the bullshit, and we normally don't speak of politics. Everyone has their own opinion and usually keep them to themselves. When we do speak of politics, it's usually in generalization. Like 99% of the politicians suck!
ReplyDeleteIf you stay around, please join us. We would all love to hear of your adventures and learn what daily life is like on the other side of the world. You, like Pat, are an interesting person and have seen and done things we can only imagine.
Pat, still sending you healing thoughts. Take care---watch your feet~
Hi Pat
ReplyDeleteHope your feeling better today. Keep resting and watching Netflix.
Hi jarhead.
Shortbread sounds pretty good to me. I like Marthas recipe she puts all butter into it.
it's good that you make it yourself. Also it gives you a change from banana bread.
Both are my favourites with a cup of orange pekoe tea.
Hi Jane
Are you still keeping up with the Robertsons ?
Jessica and Jep adopted a baby boy last year.
John Luke got married to his high school sweetheart.
Have you ever run into them in LA area of Monroe county ?
Hi Christina.
How are you ? Has your ex finally got his stuff out of your home?
Hope your hands feel better now.
Hello to border collie, cats paw , taffy, Dan zinski, lia , frimmy , Angie, Connie , Kyle,
& Mary Mary, & Melvin. (wherever they are ) haven't seen any posts from them lately.
Take care Pat.
Kiki :)
I once cooked and ate a human foot.
ReplyDeleteJarhead
Hey, Border, and anyone else who is interested. Last night I did an online search for Call the Midwife, looking for details on the upcoming season. I was very surprised to find that 9 episodes of season 5 (I don't know if that is the entire season or not ) can be watched online. I was binge-watching until 2am and am happy to report that I still have a few to watch today. :)
ReplyDeleteChristina
PS The site I am watching on is called dailymotion.
Jarhead's imposter needs a bleach enema.
ReplyDeleteI hope Trump lets us go clear out those ISIS cocksuckers, look what they did to Belgium. I knew a Belgian chick once who could suck the varnish off a chair leg.
ReplyDeleteJarhead
Love the bleach enema idea.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDelete"Impostor" is the word you are looking for.
Not from Belgium. The only girl I know that could do that is at the Firehouse in Manila, and she could probably do it without breaking a sweat. Some things you never forget.
Jarhead (the real one)
ReplyDeleteISIS can not be wiped out by force. By the time an ISIS fighter gets to the battlefield he is already a jihadist at an operational level. His radicalization starts at the mosque or the madraza. The change has to start from within their own religion and that is unlikely to happen anytime soon.
In Iraq it was impossible for a Sunni to work with a Shiite without the permanent possibility of conflict leading to violence. Theocracies are totalitarian and don't allow for individual thought or self-interpretation, so they are committed to follow orders from their religious elders who are only interested in keeping power in their centralized positions.
Women have a subordinate role just barely above goat or donkey and their opinion means absolutely nothing to a man. That is a fact. What kind of society can thrive peacefully with that view?. Hence the chaos and violence that has always dominated the Middle East.
We are in a struggle that will last generations. They are doomed to keep living in a place where the only good thing is the food.
Jarhead
Actually imposter is not a typo; I was trying to be clever by creating a portmanteau out of impostor and poster. Not clever enough, evidently...
ReplyDelete(Anon 8:30)
Blogger ate my comment!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBut to make it short-----
The above comment we know came from the real Jarhead. The man knows his stuff. It's a bad situation that will only get worse. Not much to look forward to---for anyone.
My current two favourite things: Sushi and The Grand Budapest Hotel.
ReplyDeleteThe Manilla blow job story is a rerun. Clearly I've been around too long.
If Homeland has taught me nothing it's that jihadists are committed to the generational fight in perpetuity. They might win because of that.
Humans killing humans over make believe gods on land that was here billions of years before we ever started polluting it and will probably recover and carry on millions of years after we destroy ourselves. That's all this boils down to. Where is the sense in it?
I thought of another movie I liked. Has anyone ever seen the Boys from Brazil? No, Crabbie, it's not a gay flick. It's an old Gregory Peck movie about the Nazi's trying to rebuild the power of the Third Reich. The Hunt for Hitler made me think of this.
ReplyDeleteAlso, who watched DWTS with Nyle Dimarco? The dude is totally deaf and he was great. I was totally blown away. He was also the winner of one of the modeling shows. Quit a bit of eye candy for the ladies.
Kiki, I haven't been watching the Robinsons too much lately. It looked like every time I turned it on, it was all reruns. But I do know about the Jeb baby. Jeb is finally starting to come out of his shell.
I had a WONDERFUL day today. This morning I had my taxes done and in the afternoon I had a hearing test. Seems I'm loosing my hearing in my left ear. Don't know why yet---have to schedule a MRI.
Hang in there Pat!
Sorry---I'm losing my hearing, not loosing. Damn spell check where is it when you need it.
ReplyDeleteHi Frimmy,
ReplyDeleteGrand Budapest is a great movie, Everyone in it and the originality of the story was fun to watch. The Manila experience may be dated, but then; so am I. Amazingly though, she may still be working there.
If our politicians were as committed to fighting jihadists as our service members are, this fight would be over much sooner. We could have gotten Osama Bin Laden in as little as 10 days after arriving in Afghanistan, but Civilian Authority pressured our Military Command to "put an Afghan face" on the capture. He slipped through the mountain pass and the rest is history.
Hi Jane,
I remember watching Boys from Brazil with my Dad a long time ago. Glad you are doing well.
Jarhead
Imposterior.....an imposter with a sore, bleach-enema bottom.
ReplyDeleteExcellent posts, Jarhead. I always say there are no religious wars. It's all about power, and the religion is an excuse for the power grab. I hate it when we go to war and are hamstrung with rules of engagement.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the dailymotion tip, Christine. I will look for it.
This is kinda cool.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpDYfkymaSE
My asshole is raw right now.
ReplyDeleteFinally got onto Mom's computer. This is Casey. I am sorry to tell everyone this but my Mom was admitted into a facility. Lissa was staying with her mom for several days and when she was dropped home, Lissa found her in a very bad state. She had been in so much pain, for so long and had other private issues she was facing. I knew of some but not all. She has been hallucinating and on heavy sedation. Her meds were being overused according to her toxicology reports. We are not sure at this time of any recovery.
ReplyDeleteI am sure Mom would want you all to know why she isn't blogging. She was much sicker than any of us thought. I know you were all a comfort to her.
I am discussing with Allyssa's mother and Gabe's parents about where Allyssa should live. We have all had concerns with my mom's ability to parent a strong kid like Allyssa. Dan and I have discussed what is in her best interests.
We are going to allow the blog to stay up for another week for all of you to say by, share your stories but we are going to shut the blog down.
Thank you for being there for my mom. I know it has been a comfort to her.
Casey J.
Oh Casey, I am so sorry.
ReplyDeleteI'm very sorry to hear this. For Pat, for you and for everyone and everything she helped. My sympathies to your family as you wade through this.
ReplyDeleteSo Sorry Casey. Sending good thoughts.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear this. Pat, Casey and Lissa, I'll be thinking about you all.
ReplyDeleteThis is such very sad news. Please keep us updated on Pat's condition and know that she is in our thoughts.
ReplyDeletePat's a fighter.
ReplyDeleteI'd bet any amount of money on that useless conniving whore Miss Tia being behind this somehow...
ReplyDeleteGuys, she hasn't been right for quite some time. I think we have all witnessed the spiral. Her comments about Lyssa have seemed off, her physical and mental state. I have been uncomfortable reading her posts for quite awhile.
ReplyDeleteMary
I think she is truly insane and we have watched her unravel. I am so glad to hear that Alyssa's residence is being re evaluated Casey. I worried about that little girl and her facebook antics. Pat just let her grow up way toooooo fast. Of course I don't wish ill will on her, but I think her posts were BS, mostly and she overshared about her granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteI would ask everyone who feels compelled to post on here to remember that there are real people on the other side of your computer.
ReplyDeleteI wish your mom the best, Casey. I'm glad she has you to look after her. Please pass on my best wishes.
ReplyDeleteSending positive thoughts your way. I hope everything works out for everyone. I will miss this blog.
ReplyDeleteCasey, my heart goes out to you, your Mom, and Lissa. Difficult decisions will need to be made, but from what I have read here, you are a strong woman (like your mom) and will make the right choices.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed this blog and will miss Pat's postings and stories. I have also enjoyed reading all the comments.
I hope you and Pat know that there is an entire community here wishing you all well.
Best of luck to you all. I will miss you.
Lucy
Oh, Casey, I am SO sorry. Pat has been such a comfort to me through the years I read her blog, and I'm glad to know she was comforted by us as well. I have so enjoyed this blog and reading all the posts and stories--not to mention the great community of commenters here. I will miss you all.
ReplyDeleteCasey, I know you will do the best you can for Lyssa; it's clear that you're strong like your amazing mom. I am in tears as I write this, but I am sending all the good thoughts, love, and wellness vibes your way. I hope your mom isn't in pain anymore.
Love,
Kim
Casey,
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us know. Hoping pat is comfortable and at peace.
Tricia
ReplyDeleteHi Casey,
Truly sorry to hear about your Mom. I hope she is comfortable and that you can get through this ok as well. All the best to you and your family.

So sad for everyone involved......Pat is a true warrior!!!! Let's all hope she pulls through.....All the best Casey J. and family.....Marilyn
ReplyDeleteHello Casey
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to read this about your mom Pat. Just as she moved into her new home too.
Please tell Pat I wish her all the best and take care of lissa for her. Hope you and Dan
can have her move in to your home. Thank you for letting us know how she is doing.
Kiki :)
P. S. Please let her know that I miss her and send her positive light.
Casey Iam so sorry! I truly hope she knows just how very much she means to me and all of us. No doubt you will do your best for Lissa. Pat is such a toughskin but even toughskins are human. I miss her, sending prayers.
ReplyDeleteCasey, thank you for letting us know...I will miss coming here every day as I have for the last 11 years or so... Your mom has been a good friend to us and a gracious host. I will miss her. She was the one person I emailed when things were very very dark, and she always took the time to respond with the most kind words. I am really a stranger to her, and she never made it feel that way. Send her my love....

Aka Mary Jo
Ps ... Thank you to all the commenters who I feel like I know...Jane, Jarhead, Christine, Crabbie, you guys were a lot of fun and I will miss you all too. Although I didn't comment often, I always read your words and feel like I know each of you....take care.
Casy I am speechless! I wish you strength during this difficult time. You, Lissa, and all your family have been like friends for over a decade and I have truly enjoyed reading Pats blogs and stories about all her friends and family as well as all the trails and tribulations. I know that Pat has had a difficult and challenging life and she came through strong with a unique instinct for sifting bullshit from reality and calling things for what they really are. I'm going to miss excitedly clicking onto my Dirty Disher Icon, hoping to read more instalments about your lives or Pat's take on current affairs. I've been worried about Pat's health for some time now but just hoped that her strength of mind and willpower would see her through. I hope that you and your family and especially Lis will be alright and take comfort in the awesome genes that you inhereted from Pat and go on to have strong and happy lives. Also to everyone who reads Dirty Disher and through doing so have also become friends, I'm really going to miss you. This is a really sad blow.
ReplyDeleteTo Jane , jarhead & Christina
ReplyDeleteI'd like to say how sad it will be not to have this blog to keep in touch.
As casey said that it will be closing in a week. I read here everyday for years.
Jane & jarhead I've lost your email addresses a year ago so if you could leave them here
& I will get in touch with you both. Jane I also want to ask you a couple of things that seem to be amiss.
Jarhead / Enrique ( that's how I had your name in my computer ) where are you these days ? M. E. Or home ?
Let's stay in touch. - Kiki
Oh Casey, I'm sending all my love to your family during this hard situation. This sucks. I don't have any other words.

ReplyDeleteLove you!
Crabbie for president!!!
I blame the angry tree spirits for Pat's unhinging.
ReplyDeleteCasey, I am so sorry. This has got to be a really tough time for your whole family. Along with everyone else, I really do appreciate your taking the time to let us know what is going on. As for the decisions you need to make, I hope you find a clear path that you are comfortable with.
ReplyDeletePat's blog is the one place that I have checked multiple times every day for years. Her support and kind words helped me through some very tough times. She is knowledgeable, has a way with words, and her life story is so interesting. It has been a privilege to hang out here.
Like Jane, I have started to post something several times this afternoon, and couldn't find the heart or words. I've been so worried about Pat lately. This is devastating. I hope she is able to recover and have some quality of life again. I love her and consider her a special friend. I am hoping that you can communicate to her that we all love her and wish her well.
I also understand the reasons for shutting down the blog, but am going to miss so many people here terribly. I consider many here to be my friends and hate the thought of losing track of any of you. I want to leave my email, but am too chicken today. Maybe tomorrow.
This has been a truly sad day. Pat, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Christina
Casey;
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting everyone know.
I am so sorry.
I love you Pat.
Cut On The Diagonal
Just a suggestion....maybe this small community could agree to meet in a chatroom such as WireClub or KissChat where you can create a private passworded room of your own for exchanging email addresses, remaining in touch, etc.
ReplyDeleteI'm not entirely convinced this isn't just more DD-Drama. But that's neither here nor there. If it's true and not just another carnie prank, I certainly wish the best for little Alyssa.
Casey, is there any way we could send cards?
ReplyDeleteI'm really very sad to read about this. I don't comment very often but I read frequently. I remember when all the blogging started because of freaking Kate Gosselin. I first read Pat's comments on Moon's site. It will be very strange not seeing her blog anymore. I wish her healing and health.
ReplyDeleteAnd I sincerely wish the ignorant troll that comes on at a time like this to spout her crap would move to a planet far, far away.
Casey and Pat- I am sending positive thoughts into the universe for you guys. I've been reading here for years as kind of a lurker, i'm very upset to hear about your mother. She is a wonderful woman with a tremendous personality. I am very hopeful she will pull through this awful time. I hope Alyssa is staying strong. Such a beautiful girl, I know this has to be tough on her.
ReplyDeleteI love your mom Casey,
ReplyDeleteI hope he's comfortable. We are all pulling for her, she's an extraordinary woman.
Shelly
ReplyDeleteSad to see this coming to an end. Personally, it was cathartic for me personally to express some feelings anonymously since the days of Nick Hogan and the crash that hurt another Marine (Joh Graziano), and Army Mom's loss of her brave son in Afghanistan. I wish everyone here the best and hope to receive good news about Pat and her family.
Kiki and Jane, I sent you all an email. My address is still skunkalpha@gmail.com and welcome l Frimmy, cut on the diagonal, or anyone else who stayed on the sidelines to contact me with whichever blog you are posting in now.
Either way, Pat I hope you are comfortable and resting. I thank you for the opportunity you gave me to express my opinions here freely and without judgement. I will miss your wit and laconic sarcasm, as well as the motherly care you took to nurture this website. I hope you can feel the love from everyone and know you have a place in many people's hearts. Thanks Casey, I also wish you can move forward knowing a lot of people hope the best for you and your family.

ReplyDeleteYour mom on many a day was my life saver. Strong, wonderful & kind are just a few words to describe her. I found refuge here. Didn't comment all to often but I certainly knew most and rooted for each of you. I send you strength, Casey as you navigate these waters and I am sending to Pat much love and good vibes. Hang in there mama and know you are loved ~
This news has made me so sad
Thank you Pat xo

ReplyDeletePlease remember, humans are incredibly resilient.
This really hard part for me is that Pat's been in pain, my heart aches because of that.
Let's not count her out yet, please?
2016 is proving to be a motherfucker.

Jane & jarhead I sent you both emails.
ReplyDeleteI'm finding it difficult to even fathom that this blog is going to close next week.
I feel so sad for pat and Casey & especially lissa.
I've been reading pats blog since her earlier previous" lambs quarter " blog.
I found pat via bohemian moons blog over a decade ago.
I haven't been able to get in touch with moon yet but will keep trying to let her know about pats turn.
I'm sure moon would like to know. She 's a friend to Pat. Has been over the years.

I will miss your mom and her posting and photos and her awesome stories.
Christina i too want to find out what you'll be doing with the holes in your yard. Just like Jane.
Also like to read about your chickens
I love the picture at the top of the header ( pats raccoon & pumpkins ).
One of my favorite posts were when pat got a baby raccoon to hand raise.
The photos of the lil guy were so sweet.
Loved reading about her adventures atvtag sales and garage sale finds.
I disliked the way her mom tuwella treated her and also her aunt bitch face always wanting to go to the dollar store.
So many times I've logged on to DDs blog and found a laugh or two. Such a wonderful meeting place.
I will keep checking in everyday until it's still here.
Thank you for reading my post.
Kiki :)
I'm going to miss you so much Pat.
ReplyDeleteCasey-
ReplyDeleteI, too, found Pat's blog during the Gosselin online drama. It's the only one from that time that I still follow, although this is the first time I've commented. Your mom is a wonderful writer and I've always enjoyed her stories. I loved all the pictures she used to post (on her other blog?) of her garden. It was so wild, random, bountiful, and beautiful; full of surprizes and secrets (like Pat herself, perhaps). Loved the blue scarecrow! Your mom is very creative and has her own, unique, style with her decorations. I love her critter pictures as well. She loves animals and has been a lifesaver to so many over the years.
I was shocked and disturbed when she exposed that psychotic troll last year. I had no idea! There are truly evil people in this world, unfortunately. I'm sorry she had to go through all that. A similar thing happend to me several months later. It's devastating to be betrayed to that extent.
I'm very distressed by your phrase "not sure at this time of any recovery". Even though I've only lurked, never commented, I feel like she was a friend in a way. Please let her know she has touched other people as well as her regular commenters. I'm sure I'm not the only lurker who loved it here.
I'm so sorry this has happened to Pat, you, Lis, everyone. I am burning inscense and sending positive, healing vibes your way. I'm also drinking beer and cursing like a motherfucker.
I wish you would keep the blog up and just turn off comments. But I completely understand why you will shut it down. Please give us an update on your mom before you do?
Sophie
I did NOT write any of that! Someone is trolling you guys. WTF!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI've been dealing with alot of other stuff and haven't read the blog in a few days or I would have caught this shit sooner.
ReplyDeleteI told you guys that deranged slag Miss Tia was behind all of this. Is there nobody out there who can put a stop to her depraved whoring?
ReplyDeleteI am so relieved that Pat is okay!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTia is a shit bag. We all know that. I am surprised that she would stoop this low, though. I guess that when time weighs heavily on your hands, and you are a deranged nut job, who doesn't know how to do anything of any worth, this makes sense. Why do anything useful, when you can mess around with people who don't respect you in the first place? If anyone belongs in a facility, it is her. If she does stuff like this often enough, she will find herself in a padded cell somewhere. The crazy will leak out where other people can actually see it, and she will be put away for a long time. At this point she is acting like an asshat here, and playing an upstanding person on D listed. Almost breaking her arm, patting herself on the back for her cleverness. I want to put a link there to her craziness here. Show them who they are snuggling up with.
Fuck Tia with an overgrown zucchini.
Christina
I don't know if you should automatically blame Tia. I don't understanding why Pat didn't come in on this post when she realized Casey J had been impersonated.
ReplyDeleteAngie is showing a lot of wisdom. Where the hell is Pat? And why is she not addressing this insane situation? Seems very unfair to all her loyal posters who genuinely felt pain in hearing of her situation. Something smells extremely fishy here. I wish Pat would say something.
ReplyDeleteDD blogged on the day her son died, so when has she ever been "in too much pain" to rabble comment some blog drama?
