I hit my mother in the face today!

'numnutz'? ROFL THAT'S what we should refer to the trolls as from now on! It's perfect! Trust you jerz! LOL...........you just made my day!........still LOL......

Geez, louise, how should I know? I wrote it last night. Where were you? That's why I sent it to you this morning after numnutz didn't read it. I figured that would get your attention! For all I know, you were in pain med paradise.

Yeah Beastie I was in pain med paradise for sure, my legs were killing me ( my bones) I think I told you that in an email so yeah after Survivor I went straight to bed...pathetic I know..(G)! My legs are killing me again today I look like I'm wearing knee socks from all the pain patches I have on me..LOL!

Thank you. I was hoping it would catch someone's eye. Yet, I wanted to share the story because it was so bizarre and funny at the same time!

Oh, I know - I shut a door on her once - I honestly thought she was past where it would close - and left a huge bruise on her fragile, steroid-thinned skin. I felt so bad, but laughed a bit because I was embarrassed since someone was standing there. She made a joke out of it, but I still feel bad about that, even though it was FAR from purposeful. But, this one - I think she laughed more because I was laughing hysterically, yet I know it didn't hurt her. She just kind of sat there shaking her head and chuckling. I'd have been way embarrassed, too, by the tomato episode and I'm also glad it didn't hit her silk blouse. I hate embarrassing myself publicly - I just want to hide!!

I always thought scrapple was some kind of innards! It's just the meat under the skin and cornmeal??!! That doesn't sound so gross! This story about hitting your mom is hilarious! I needed a good laugh! Thanks!~

You know, I really have no idea if I got that fly or not! The whole thing was such a surprise that I totally forgot to look. I didn't notice him after that, but for all I know, he was off in another room laughing his wings off at what he'd caused!! Scrapple used to be much more gross than it is today, but if you grew up on it, you never thought about it. When you butcher a pig, there is a lot of meat that can't be butchered. Especially under the skin and such. My grandfather used to raise pigs and made his own scrapple. The meat is boiled down and mixed with spices (especially sage and salt, some pepper, etc) and cornmeal. It is cooked more until it is very thick like a really thick porridge and then poured into the molds (like very large baking pans). My mother still has some of the pans. In the old days, a layer of lard was put on top to prevent spoilage (like paraffin wax is put on top of jelly) and it was left to cool and solidify. Then loaves are cut out of that larger pan and served. It is sliced and pan fried and served usually for breakfast, but we like it whenever we're in the mood for it. Our local diners also serve it, but they slice it thick and deep fry it because it's more convenient for them. I like it thin and crispy with a soft center. We eat it with catsup, but if the flavor is exceptional, I just eat it plain. I bought ours at the Amish market last Saturday. They usually have it cut in one pound loaves. There is also a pork store nearby that smokes their own meats and they make a really tasty scrapple (as well as sausage, ham, etc.) all the old ways (that conform to today's health codes, of course). I was able to find scrapple in the supermarket when I was living in Utah and Arizona, but it was the cheaper kind with more cornmeal and less meat, but still it was a piece of home when I lived out there.

If she could still move as fast as she used to, I probably would have been chased with the fly swatter or the hose from her oxygen!! LOL When I was young, she would chase me around with a cricket in her hand knowing I was afraid of them. I'd run screaming to my room and she'd just laugh as she walked away. She could be "evil" sometimes!!!

And, I still don't know if I got the fly, don't you know? There were the two left and today I'm only seeing one, but I found no body on the table or on the floor, so maybe I injured him and he flew off to die. Or die laughing??

Thank you, teka. She is quite the person, I have to say.

LOL - yes, I suppose she could sue me - but who would give her her pills in the morning and at night??? No - she knew it was an accident and she has a crazy sense of humor as well. (Good thing.)

Haha. Good thing your mom still needs you. ;D

Holy spit, Fast!! Wowzers (as Inspector Gadget might respond)! Oh yeah - I'm way glad I didn't do that!!! I don't think she would handle round three in the ER nearly as well as the first two times (and she almost didn't survive the second one!) I'm very glad this was as minor as it was and that we could laugh at it right away and not after it was over. I mean, I've pulled the shopping cart with her still attached to the oxygen tank and yanked her like a dog without thinking and I've shut a restaurant door on her arm because I thought she was past where the door would swing, but hit her in the head with a 24-pack? Whoa!! Oh, wait....I HAVE done some stupid things to her, haven't I? I'll shut up now.

Oh, no. Never on purpose and not nearly stupid enough to brag about it if it were! LOL It was just so funny how it happened, and how fast it happened. There was no time to think or react protectively - only react to the results, which fortunately were hilarious!

Heck, so am I!! I was laughing, turning beet red and apologizing all at the same time. I couldn't believe it had happened - and still can't. I told her, if I had wanted to do that, it would NEVER have worked.

Well, I'm glad I helped you brighten your day. And, equally glad what happened wasn't something that would hurt her. She'd already had two hospital stays in September. The LAST thing I needed (or she needed, for that matter) was one caused BY ME!!!

lol it was funny-i hope your mom is doing fine from the 2 previous stays in the hospital
