I would like to talk to people in my approximate age group (45-60) who were spanked a lot in childhood and share and compare our experiences and thoughts about childhood punishments. I won't talk to anyone I think is a phony, please only answer if you will be honest.
Grandma was 103 years old, she had a good life but it was time. She was married for 76 years (the other grandparents were married for 68 years). Lived in the same house for ~65 years.
Everyone loved her cooking and hospitality. I do some baking of things we used to have, and think of her. I miss brunch with the family. Sigh.
Here she is with her husband, circa 1946. https://i.imgur.com/likHs5D.jpeg
Earlier this year, before one of the football games. She got to see (kind of...) the Seahawks win another Super Bowl! https://i.imgur.com/yz1KQ8g.jpeg
I'd been visiting her weekly (or twice weekly) for the last few years. So glad I did. Took pictures and videos too. I guess now I have my weekends free.
I didn't really see the Super Bowl. Grandma was asleep and I wasn't feeling good, so I didn't stay to watch with her.
Health update. I had weight loss and stomach pain. My weight has stabilized but I still have pain. It's almost all on the right side of my stomach (RUQ). So I've had tests and everything looks normal. Blood, urine, and last week a CT. It lists like 13 organs and they are all normal. My colonoscopy (2 months ago) was normal enough, but I do have to do it again in 3 years.
Yet the pain has continued, off-and-on. Getting a stabbing pain every so often, among other things. Thankfully it's not too strong, so I can tolerate it until the next tests. I think something is wrong, so I'm a bit surprised all tests come back normal.
Anyone else dealt with health issues but normal tests? I swear this isn't just stress or IBS.
