Rickp Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Spent the weekend at the Hospital. My mother-in-law was a heavy smoker for years, and has COPD developing. She was not able to breath so took her to the ER. She is home now, on oxygen for the rest of her life. She is having a very difficult time of it, and keeps saying she wants to die. Then my brother calls, and my dad whose health has been declining was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and it is progressing quickly. The ups and downs of life, are what truly define us. They took care of us, of course we can take care of them.Sorry to hear about your parents. We all go thru it and a part of life. Wishing you and your family the best.Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy tony@CIC, kardboard.kid and Kenny B 3 Quote Rick Left Hand, Driver; PXG 0311XF Cypher 50 gr Senior 5 wood; Ping 425, Senior Shaft 55 gr 7 wood; Ping 425, Senior Shaft 55 gr 5 hybrid; Cally Steelhead, Hazardous R2 Irons; Mizuno JPX 923HM 7-GW Recoil 460 F2 Wedges; Titleist S9 54*, Mizuno SW 56* Putter; Waaay too many to list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom passed away at 89 after a long battle with lots of heath problems, and my dad is very depressed. He'll be 89 next month and has no desire to interact with anyone.

perseveringgolfer Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 This is only my problem.......... People who confuse LOOSE and LOSE in written form. It changes the whole sentence and its surprising how many 'educated' people do it. Another pet peeve is people who say 'F' instead of 'TH' as in "I used a free iron and a Titleist number free.

edingc Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Rain, rain, rain. Second Sunday in a row I've been rained out. Rained out my Mizuno fitting on Friday. Suppose to rain every day until Thursday. Not a great start to the fall golf season. IF I can play next weekend it will be three weeks between rounds, assuming the course can even dry out on Friday. On a high note, I did finish a French drain project yesterday while we did not have rain and it's working wonderfully today. golfertrb, ncwoz, revkev and 3 others 6 Quote Unofficial WHS Handicap: 3.6 / Anti-Cap: 9.9 (Last Updated Sept. 1, 2024) Driver: Callaway Paradym TD (10.5°), 45.75", Fujikura Motore X F1 6X | Fitting Post 3 Wood: Cobra RadSpeed Big Tour (14.5°), 43", Fujikura Motore X F1 7X 20° Hybrid: PXG 0211 (2020 Model), 40.25", Mitsubishi Tensei AV RAW White 90X 4 Utility: Cobra KING Utility (2020 Model), 38.5", Aerotech SteelFiber i110cw Stiff 5-PW: Ben Hogan PTx Pro, 37" 7 Iron, Aerotech SteelFiber i125cw Stiff | Club Champion Fitting 50°, 54°, 58°: Edel SMS, V Grind, Nippon Modus 125 Wedge| Official Review Thread Putter: L.A.B.

edingc Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Selling on eBay is such an awful experience these days. I've been trying to unload a bunch of stuff that we don't need but has some decent value (I try to donate the rest), and only about half of the time does anything go smoothly. I already hate having to deal with the 10 percent final value fees and PayPal fees, but in just the last few weeks I've had to deal with so many annoyances. Slow payments, buyers changing their mind days after winning an auction, buyers not reading descriptions, international shipping (never again) and people just generally being unable to communicate in anything resembling written word.

Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk I thought using the "Global Shipping Program" would take the pain out of it, but it really doesn't. In this case, several of my annoyances all occurred with this same international sale. The buyer didn't read my description, ended up getting something they didn't want, but I had pretty much zero recourse to do anything other than let him keep the item and refund the money. Would have cost me more to get the item back than what it was worth to me.

Jmikecpa Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Was supposed to get in a quick round today but the dishwasher decided to take a dump. So I get to take SWMBO shopping for a new one and then get to install it this afternoon.

Just make sure the "dump tank" that the drain hose connects to on the outside of the dishwasher is sitting the right way and not facing down... tony@CIC and Rickp 2 Quote In the bag: Driver: Darkspeed X 9° UST Mamiya LIN-Q M40X Blue 7F4 Fairway: Apex UW 19° & 21° Project X HZRDUS Smoke RDX Black 5.5 Irons: JPX 923 HMP 5-PW UST Mamiya Recoil 95 F4 Wedges: T-22 Denim Copper 48°, 52° & 56° UST Mamiya Recoil 95 F4 Putter Sycamore 005 Wide Blade Bag: Fairway 14 stand bag Balls: Chrome Tour X Cart: CaddyLite ONE Ver. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chanin asked me to cut up some sweet potato and my thumb got in the way. I took off the top of it, down to the top of the nail...it doesn't tickle. As a bonus, I'm left handed. Went to the doctor yesterday and got the dressing off after 15 minutes of soaking it in warm water. He said it looked clean and it'll take about a month to heal. I have to change the dressing every day and use petroleum dressing (vasso) which, of course, you can't just get at your local chemist. So I ordered a bunch of stuff from Amazon. He took a measurement and it's roughly a 1/2" x 1/2" piece. cnosil, tony@CIC, Kenny B and 2 others 5 Quote In the bag: Driver: Darkspeed X 9° UST Mamiya LIN-Q M40X Blue 7F4 Fairway: Apex UW 19° & 21° Project X HZRDUS Smoke RDX Black 5.5 Irons: JPX 923 HMP 5-PW UST Mamiya Recoil 95 F4 Wedges: T-22 Denim Copper 48°, 52° & 56° UST Mamiya Recoil 95 F4 Putter Sycamore 005 Wide Blade Bag: Fairway 14 stand bag Balls: Chrome Tour X Cart: CaddyLite ONE Ver. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
