Good, I'm not impressed with your tantrums. Hope I never have a nurse like you.

What an offensive reaction from you!! For crying out loud, can't you see that Hyacinth is venting?? The aging grumpy father, the pain in the --- sister-in- law, and now you to keep stirring it!!

I am OVER the coffee maker thing. I think it is a vent about how he has changed and how unhappy he seems lately.

I think my sister-in-law whipped him up about how much the cups might cost. He is always lamenting costs and comparing them to many years ago. She is an agitator and selfish person. I have decided to REFUSE to let her know she gets to me! I am pretty much being sickeningly pleasant no matter what her attempts.

He was always the positive influence in my life, and maybe I should be paying him back now. I have to accept what I cannot change, but try to do anything I can to make anything better.

holly jolly jingles bells sure dies not seem too jolly. Why would you think it was kind to come on here and jump all over someone who already feels bad that her Dad is not the same person he was for so many years?????? Were is your heart and compassion for someone who is feeling like her Dad is lost to her, and has a sister-in law who seems to be adding fuel to a fire. Nice you are not to someone who is stressed. Sorry Hyacinth that your Dad was not happy with a gift you took time to think about and give to him. Some time as we age we just don't appreciate things that someone does for us.

I totally get where you're coming from. My Dad's favorite phrase was, "HOW much??" and then to say how much he thought it should cost. Haircuts? $1. Dinner at a nice restaurant? $10 for four. My Mom did all the bills and I don't think he ever knew how much my wedding was Smile
