Disappointment Or Sadness

[Britt.f7]

My sweet potatoes in the garden. They didn't mature fully. They look like little carrots. little sad, deformed carrots.

I work with a client from Mississippi and actually it is not easy to grow sweet potatoes. Study up and try again? In his son's garden they tried carrots and that was a no go too. I have not been brave enough to have more than a small herb garden. I can even kill mint.

Oh, Britt, your sweet potato makes me laugh, I grew carrots like that one year. They were so funny looking. :roflmao:

It seems that what I did best while I was working which started my senior year in high school was the ability to type which I started to do before there was such a thing as a computer and to answer the phone.

Now I do become disappointed/frustrated/sad as I can only stay on the computer now for a short while and my arm/shoulder begins to hurt and my elbow locks, when I'm on the phone too long. I'm sure what I made a living doing and all the jobs I have had to do around the house, etc. caused the calicification to build and arthritis to set in.

Disappointed that my son did not get up for school today.

Sadden, because my back spasms are worse, today.

Just my two cents, but the type of soil and drainage, have a huge impact on your ability to grow crops, like sweet potatoes and carrots. I know, in southern Ontario, my dad grew almost everything, he planted, in his garden. And yes, the veggies were sweeter and tasted better than store bought veggies.

Disappointed that my son didn't seem to really try this last week in football. Granted he got hit helmet to helmet with a 300 pound guy that kind of knocked him for a loop, but it seems more than that. He claims to have a head ache since then and didn't go to practice today, having me call the doctor. The other day he wanted me to call the doctor about a shoulder injury. I'm torn. Part of me doubts his aches, thinking that he knows he won't get play time anyway and that this is a way to make reason for it. Or something to that effect. I hate doubting my children's aches and pains. I know I get that from my growing up. That and the old toughen up, you'll live. Trying to be more sensitive to this and not a jerk. But it is making me kind of cranky.

Recently watched a program on football, head injuries, brain damage and the NFL cover-up. It might be best for your son that he doesn't play. The brain of deceased HIGH SCHOOL football players were examined, and they had already sustained injury.

Disappointments...it is cold and dark and I am just plain tired and crabby. Put in a long day working, so I know it is just fatigue, but I hate facing my kids wearing my crabby pants!

By the way, Britt, thank you for starting this thread!

 

[Britt.f7]

@a3a2 You are welcomed.

We met some college football players that had horrible injuries. It is definitely a tough game.

Sadden, my SI has gotten worse from the previous 1, to the 2.5-3, which it's currently, on my scale of 1 to 10. As I have started dreaming of chocolate, again. For most people, this will mean nothing, but, in my case, as I am deadly allergic to caffeine, it would be, a form of suicide.

Hugs for everyone who wants one :hug: and I am sorry if I squeezed too hard.

On a light disappointed note, I'm disappointed that the red arrow hasn't come back. Didn't realize how much I used it before, but my new laptop makes it hard to scroll back up.

Disappointed my son won't be able to suit up for tonight's game.
