    HYE had a birthday 'mile stone' and was depressed about it?
    My 50th.

    I wasn’t depressed about the decade.
    But it was absolutely the worst birthday ever.
    I had been going to a school two hours away from Podunk, trying to finish my BA. So mostly I stayed at the school to avoid the long commute.
    My husband was beginning to act more and more bizarrely (we now know it was early onset dementia) He started dating other women and not hiding it very well. And he had had a stroke six months before which made things especially complex because I had to keep an eye on his health.

    Our son was living in Canada at the time and didn’t send a card or anything.

    Anyhow, I made the effort to drive home hoping for at least a little family time. And I got to the door of my own house, my husband threw my mail at me and wouldn’t even let me in (turns out paranoia was an early dementia symptom for him)

    I drove to a local beach and opened my mail, crying my eyes out. The one person who remembered was my older sister, who sent me a gold necklace with “Happy 50th!” engraved on it, that she had given our mom for HER birthday decades before.

    And I cried and cried and cried. And drove back to school….

    So. Anyhow….

    No, I've never done that.

    HYE had a stray cat or dog that kept coming to your house and it became your pet?
  • MargaretYakoda
    MargaretYakoda Posts: 2,997 Member
    I’ve lived in the country most of my life and have had cats dumped on our doorstep too often to count. Not strays, technically.
    There were witnesses to the most recent one. The poor cat was dumped out of a moving vehicle in front of our house. And didn’t make it across the road to us. But is now buried under one of our walnut trees with the rest of the furry family members.

    Reason #67345128 why I hate people.

    HYE had butternut squash pan roasted with crasins and rosemary infused olive oil?

    @MargaretYakoda you are kind to the animals that come your way, your recent story was so sad about the cat.

    I have had pan roasted butternut squash but never with your recipe, sounds delicious will have to try it.

    Yes, long ago when I lived in Boston. We were on a boat. I wouldn't say it was that close to us though.

    Have you ever been hurt by negligence?
  • MargaretYakoda
    MargaretYakoda Posts: 2,997 Member
    Yup. I won’t say it’s why I am diabetic right now, but being directly called a hypochondriac to my face, refused a referral, told I was wasting every doctors time, then abruptly kicked out of the office by my neurologist (I have a benign brain tumor that has to be monitored) when I tried to report symptoms that turned out to be (likely) diabetic related right before COVID hit and shut everything down is why I can’t feel my toes now.
