I will be glad to see 2025

[squatting dog]

This year has been one of the worst when it comes to things giving up or breaking.
It's this endless parade of small (and some big) stuff that makes me crazy.
My list so far...

Refrigerator
dishwasher
bread machine
over head microwave... then, a second overhead microwave in less the 2 months
2 ups battery backup's
57 chevy battery
trailblazer battery
Camaro battery
my Harley battery. I expect wife's Harley will go next.
my computer
wife's computer
46" flat screen tv
bench grinder
head gasket 57 chevy
3 heating pads
computer modem
2 vacuum cleaners

This year I lost my mom, my dad and my mother in law.

My condolences!!
My DH and I hear you here!!

Refrigerator
Washer and Dryer
DHs computer
Printer
A mattress
A vac battery

TWO cars had to be replaced - the repairs and time sitting in shop for repairs is just ridiculous.
(Am happy we two agree on doing certified preowned when we can find a good one with low mileage. We ended up with the one preowned - we absolutely LOVE and the one new...well, the new one is like a a cell phone or computer on wheels. It is FAR from intuitive and all the electronics distract us TERRIBLY when driving it! We both dislike it, nowhere near the other's quality, though they are the same maker; selling it as soon as it goes out of warranty, or sooner.

I'm really sorry to hear all that. Seems that's how things go over at my house much of the time.

I started to click the "like" button, but that didn't seem right. I'm so sorry for your losses over this past year. One is too many.

That would be my DH singing as I am the fix-it person in our household. I do and he watches: fascinated.

This year I lost my mom, my dad and my mother in law.

Lost my best friend, my mom, and my little sister in 2012 - she was only 42.

Sorry PP: know is sooo hard.

My DH likes to tell friends of his: "She married me for my tools!". It is somewhat TRUE.

I had my OWN tools when we began dating 12 years ago because I've been a mechanically inclined female all my life, that and my step dad was a mechanic (airplane, boat, small engines, cars) so much of his talent transferred to me via doing.

When I saw my DH's shop and gorgeous Golden Retriever I thought: "Wow, just LOOK at all these tools I could use! And, and the DOG!! He is beautiful!"

I married the tools and the dog.

@squatting dog I wish you and family a better new year!

 

[papa tiger]

2024 has been a handful, so was 1994. Come to think of it so was 2021 - 22 - 23! ... ...
I didn't marry a nightmare; I have had one. I should hire it done. That most likely would be a nightmare too.

But I have an improved out of doors life with 2 large decks and an 80 sq Ft. Porch. The pets say thank you!

 

[squatting dog]

Looking back, all this is minor when compared to other years I guess. 2022 for instance...
Lost my mom
Lost my Arkansas house to fire
Lost the Florida home to a sinkhole
Then again, all this pales to 2017 when I lost my daughter.

 

[CooCooforCoCoPuffs]

Then again, all this pales to 2017 when I lost my daughter.

Yup. Been sitting on that cliff a long time now...

My condolences at the loss of a child.

 

[CooCooforCoCoPuffs]

My DH just said to me:

"Yup, tell them I am REALLY looking forward to 2025...I can finally go from a boy toy to sex legend".

Yes, he is hallucinating again.

Note: We both turn 70 next Fall.

 

[smiley]

do you know if 25 is gonna be better or worst - d'ya know summat we don't?

 

[old medic]

Perspective my friends, perspective.......
I "LOST".... but what did you gain? Even when it comes to the death of a loved one, you should hold them in your heart, and smile at the memories. Wishing all a Happy New Year

 

[smiley]

I only see a downward spiral atm?

 

[againstthegrain]

This year I lost my mom, my dad and my mother in law.

Hope you find the strength and courage to overcome that. You have my deepest sympathies.

One thing we do know, without a doubt, is it's going to be interesting.

 

[Aunt Bea]

At this point, my best years are behind me.

All things considered 2024 has been a good year and I’ll be more than content if 2025 comes close.

Happy New Year to all!

 

[dusty]

Aunt Bea your best years are ahead...you will be happy inside.

 

[papa tiger]

I just want to say - - - - .. - - ! Don't quit on it. Make 2025 your bitch.
You heard them words here first. ... ... I will let you know how mine works out.

Merry Xmas is only a few sleeps away. Happy New Year too!

 

[smiley]

I sit outside and go through all my life cycles - I think I am slowly taping them all up?
