I am reminded of the request to keep it short and to what is
ON. MY. MIND.
Countrymouse was kind enough to start this for us, with very few "rules".
So I will focus what is ON MY MIND, not on everybody else's.

Still laughing, "As AC Turns", or "All my caregivers". That is a unique concept, somebody could start a new thread......

Ali, I missed the edit. But don't feel bad at all, whatever you said.
Pammzi, no one would have ever suspected you were "investigating".
Good on you!
Gershun, Always, looking at the best in other people!

I rather like this Edit feature. Enough AC for tonight. I don't feel very pleased with myself when I turn this site into an episode of "As AC Turns" or "All My Caregivers"... lol
...I hope his son's murder can be solved. Every family deserves some measure of justice and closure.

I often wonder about the captain. I hope they solved his son's murder.

Hi, Mayday. Captain hasn't posted in a few years now, I believe since around the time of Brexit and the U.S. presidential elections, so that would have been 2016. Also, one of his children was tragically murdered around that time, too. Captain hasn't been on AC -- that I've seen -- since around that time.

I cry and no one hears.
My childhood nightmares have become my reality.
I smile hiding the pain behind my blue eyes.
Saying its just another day.

This hurt will be the end of me.
Should I lay in the pines in the silent night?

I cry and no one hears me.
The child in me has died.
I scearm and no one looks.

I will just lay in the pines.
In the silent of the night and let the cool breeze cover me.
Maybe than I will find my peace.

Just venting!!

Unitetogether, I oversee two two elderly ladies; mom and client/friend. 25 years with mom, 3 with client. 5 miles out of town of 3500, long ways from any larger town/city. Can be boring at times, especially in winter when there's ice and snow; so it sure feels like the "middle of nowhere".

DeeAnna, so glad you didn't get flooded; seems as if everyone else around did, doesn't it? A friend was at work in Nebraska today and said many roads around the area were closed, may not be able to get back here soon.

Music and what a great escape it can be. Took a few moments to listen to Wichita Lineman by Glen Campbell and think the strings are sweeping and beautiful. He looks a lot like my dad. Bittersweet. Don't make music like that today.

Nebraska is the #1 state in the US for state percentage of Agricultural land (91% of NE land is farm/ranch). Nebraska is the #2 state for beef production (just behind Texas) and ethanol. It’s #3 in corn, and 50% of our wheat crops are exported. And it’s #4 in the US for contributed Ag exports to the world market. 
It will take 1-2 months before many farmers can plant any crops because of the mud and huge blocks of ice lying in their fields from the ice jams.  We were lucky because our fields are on high ground and did not get flooded, but many of the roads to our fields did.

Mally1, hi. Yes I feel bad for them. Your in the middle of nowhere and taking care of a Loved one? Is that extra lonely or is that a silly question.

Wow! Looking at and reading about the flooding in Nebraska and Iowa; Lord have mercy..... In a lot of places it happened so fast the people couldn't rescue their horses (now I'm in tears), cows, or other livestock. Such devastation! Red River next is what they think in Fargo - think I'll sit here and be satisfied to be in a hilly place with no rivers, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc, even if it is in the middle of nowhere.

Our local newspaper had a cartoon of a person with binoculars telling a Sandhill Crane, "You're late."  The crane replied, "You try flying with snow on your wings."

[FYI: Thousands of Sandhill Cranes and Canadian geese and other birds stop overnight on the Platte River every February and/or early March on their way back to Canada.]

I know what you mean Shell38314. A Real Spring. Like it just passed us last year. Wish I could be more excited about nice weather coming however. Caregivers can't or it's hard for long to get out in the sun shine. Don't mean to be a downer, caregiving just sucks.
