Pepperkorn Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 Awwwe. Blake Coleman. Dude you have the AHL curse : happiness !!!! I get that. I totally get that. Well you just think long and hard what you want. I’m telling you you have it in you to stay- BUT you have to find a way to shake off contentment. Or and here’s what a friend of mine did be such an amazing lockroom guy the team and coach need you. That requires too much mucking about manipulation-wise. But if it’s sincere it’ll work. It’s probably easier to just massively focus on your game. Work ethic pump up but you’ve got to get the results too. Seriously. The Cup. It CAN happen don’t let your personal happiness keep you from your personal mind-blwwing happiness. You’ve got THE toughest job. Sorry I singled you out 🥴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepperkorn Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) I had another dream! 😧 i was working for TomEllis and he was running a company. I was a secretary and he was writing massively going apesh!t and I had a great idea but no way to get his attention. Then he finally rushed out of his office smiled at me while rushing by and booped me in the clavicle. I was thinking “sh!t he knew me but I still didn’t tell him my idea!” Then it morphed into a new dream which was fun but pretty run of the mill so I’ll spare you Scott Stevens! Step it up man! I’d like a nice Scotty dream please. I think you must have achieved career contentment or something. 🙄 Edited December 1, 2019 by Pepperkorn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepperkorn Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 (edited) Watching Rare Exports has been my favorite Christmas movie for 4 years now. Next to A Christmas Carol of course. Alistair Sims followed by Patrick Stewart’s followed by Reginald Owen. ANYHOW Rare Exports: It’s THE cutest most little boy movie EVER. 💖❤️🥴❤️💖🥰 It’s Finnish but don’t let that stop you from watching. It must be watched even when you feel yourself doubting it’s worth!!!! Edited December 21, 2019 by Pepperkorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepperkorn Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) Holy mother of G-d who is reading this? I feel guilty even writing that. The whole name in vain thing traumatizes me even thought intellectually I know it shouldn’t. Like the whole Jesus thing. It’s like how do you NOT believe? and yet know it’s mythology ... and NOW Im goin ta hell. So. I had traumatic dreams. Two. About friend taking risks and ending up killing themselves. One dude wore electric bracelet kind of things. Then another a female friend drove us into a lake. We all lived and then before anyone could stop her she dove back into her sinking car to retrieve her purse and drowned. So. Theres something Edited January 25, 2020 by Pepperkorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarDew Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I always look for your posts. Happy when I see them. Death isn't something I care to dream about. It freaks me the hell out.

Pepperkorn Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) Hey Dew. Hope all is well. There’s been a rash of family trauma in our household. Uncles dying and having heart attacks. My side everyone is fairly ancient so it’s not as traumatic. My husbands are in the same era as my older sisters so that’s always an eye opener. I think it must have been that. Concerns about self-destructive behavior and stuff. Heart attack uncle got the same bright idea as so many of my dude friends!!! He divorced his wife and floundered then married a younger version of much the same and started another family thinking he was feeling young again. Then he lost his job which he’d had forever as well. Of course it was a massive trauma! New wife doesn’t know him well enough to be supportive just be a bossy miserable c*^+. He’s freaking out - kind of being a stay at home dad which he dreamed he’d love — but he’s just not 20-30 anymore. So... then he’s flat on his back in a hospital. His old wife is checking in with the family finding ways to help him out. She’s happy with a new guy but now she’s worried about her old husband, you know? It’s great and it’s killing hard to be a family person. Both my old man and I have very tight clannish families. And his is HUGE! Mine is a nice uptight modest little family. Oh yeah. And what about over population? He’s a screaming liberal and yet no concept about population control 🙄 Dude HAD his kids. Now he’s spawning MORE so he can feel all youthful? I’m so mad at him but glad he’s OK too. He made his own bed. His brothers are dropping too so I’m sure that wasn’t any help. He’s charmingly neurotic— as much as one can be outside of a Woody Allen movie Edited January 27, 2020 by Pepperkorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarDew Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Sorry to hear about your family. I will keep you and yours in my prayers. I only have my brother and sister and the less contact the better. I always wondered about mid-life crises. I was, am still, too busy trying to stay alive to have had one. Seems I didn't miss much. Since I last saw you have had 2 more joint replacement surgeries, dealt with a female only cancer and now I am dealing with kidney (and another freaking stone) and parathyroid issues. It just never ends but hey I have a mantra. Adapt or die. Not so worried about the death part because heaven doesn't want me and hell is afraid of me.🤪 Goal has been to get to 17. Not to far to go.

Pepperkorn Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share Posted March 9, 2020 Dream report. About no one BUT it was complete music! How cool is that? I’m not sure I’ve done before. It didn’t feel weird at all and given my history why would it even? It beats the sh!t out of the “good god I have no idea what my next line is” dream. i wonder what sorts of dreams retired hockey players have. Like —- they forgot their skates? Or missed the bus to the game. I’ve had that one! You’re with friends but the tour bus is scheduled to leave and you have NO idea how you’re getting to the bus in time. You sit there talking frozen and not telling anyone you have to go. You just have this ridiculous internal panic. Oh I hate that one. I. The I forgot my lines ones I usually just go out there and it all works out somehow and I think we’ll this isn’t so bad. Or else I’ve woken up before even having to go on - like a falling 20stories dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepperkorn Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) Man. One of the Scotland women’s rugby team tested positive for covid19. Sucks if you played them in the last three weeks! Toddlers are asymptotic FYI. Little Typhoid Marys who don’t get it but kill off their poor grandparents. This settles it. gawd hates the baby boomers too. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand..

Pepperkorn Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) New dream. In the Star Wars world. I think I was with a Mandalorian. (😉). Really good one though I remember none of it.

Pepperkorn Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 Scott Stevens dream. I was watching a news panel and they were asking Bob Ojeda why he was so slim. He had his shirt off and looked shy and pretty jacked to be honest. Then the camera panned over toScott Stevens and Tom Brady who were also on this panel and they were in huge shoulder pads and jerseys laughing at poor Ojeda. Their heads looked tiny compared to the rest of their body. So, yeah. No idea what that meant. Hope everyone is well and happy and healthy. We’re all doing well here but I hate to be so far from my parents. Glad for the internet and smartphones! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepperkorn Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Scotty! I forgot to say HappyBirthday!! Because I know you were checking even.... My husband just had his birthday too. We had a virtual party with his work buddies. He’s losing weight because he’s not partying and drinking like he would be. Haha haha! I’m having tons of dreams. My rem sleep percentage is like 16-25%. Stevens has featured in a few but nothing amusing or otherwise remarkable. Jon Hamm was in one too. I think because of theCurb Your Enthusiasm commercials. We were just kind of hanging out. He was amusing. Nothing weird abnormal or .. ya know... just like hanging out cracking jokes and taking pot shots at people. why do I never dream about famous women? The Allison Janney one was about the only one I can recall of late. OK. My social distancing is showing now ... life is good - love my hobby farm in the woods on a mountain side It’s nice to basically live on my own private park as annoying as it is to hike up a hill to get to our pasture 😁. So... be well all!!! Edited April 2, 2020 by Pepperkorn Autocorrect BS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepperkorn Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) Oh man I am COVID-19 drunk AF!!!!!!!!!!! dear lord. Thank god I didn’t post whatever that mess I had down here was. Even I have no f&$%~£¥ idea what the hellI was even starting to get at. ?????? so. Yes. Totally ripped last night! Dark & Stormies. 150proof rum. My husband went online video hosted shopping at his favorite store in CT. ... he bought a bow tie with pointer dogs on it. Whimsical wedding attire? Lord knows. Anyhow. Here’s the thing. We were up at 6:30 AM. No hangover. And blowing a horn-in-a-can to get our daughter out of bed to help with the sheep. I’m so impressed with my 52 year old self!!!! My tea totaling daughter was rather impressed as well. I’m a light weight no question it’s so great to have this land. It’s like a nature preserve we have all to ourselves. I’m enjoying isolation. BUT sad because we would have been in a plane on our way to Heathrow this very second were it not for the pandemic. Very worried about our friends over there Anyhow. Hope Devils hockey fans are safe and sound! XO Edited April 11, 2020 by Pepperkorn 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepperkorn Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 Man. I can’t stand that I’m so digging isolating. I love not having to go anywhere. I can screw around doing all my little chores. OH!!! Of course you all know!! I think my nick name was Little House on The Prairie for a time here. I’m not spinning wool or churning butter. But I am making clotted cream right now. I of course can make a fine loaf of bread with 1/8th of a teaspoon of yeast and 2 1/2 cups of flour. I’m not sewing because everyone else and his brother already is. And I hate it. Same reason I’m not knitting. Our dogs are so insanely happy to have us here. I saved my Roosters life by chasing away the fox trying to catch him! What a good guy he is. The rooster. The fox 🦊 is a jerkoff. I’m not doing much binge TV watching. My daughter is watching New Girl. That’s cute. Our sheep will probably lamb soon. At least one will. We have had a bunch of calls for people wanting lambs too. I guess everyone wants to do the hobby farm thing. Everyone is getting chickens here. Sooooo. I LOVE my little hill. We’re awash in ramps. Have to start morel hunting now. We have 3 kinds of awesome mushrooms that grow here. My crazy boy dog eats the wacky kind that grow on our manure pile 🤪. I have had a gazillion dreams but nothing too noteworthy. I love all the free ballet classes going around on Instagram. And I love that my family is stuck with me 24/7. I can’t believe how well we’re getting along. What’s stircrazy even? Hope everyone is well. I’m worried for our extended family but must keep our distance so..

Pepperkorn Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 Ahhhhhhhhhhahahahahhahaha! My friend is on Fox News pushing a new COVID drug. LOL. Just got a text to turn it on. He’s a sheep expert turned pharmaceutical expert. LOL. They’re saying how great he is. He once got us all so plastered on single malts. Anyhow he promised if we honestly wanted to relocate to the UK he’d set us up with work BUT refuses to believe we actually do. He’s a great guy. Hope this works out but honestly everyone I know is working on their own COVID drug now and of course their idea is going to work. This guy really does think outside of the box though. we’ll see clinical trials are starting next week I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarDew Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I am tired of not being able to go outside. I am tired of being isolated. I spend too much time inside and now not letting me be able to at lease walk through Vorhees state park or get to Ken Lockwood Gorge is frustrating. I live alone and no pets. Talk about alone.Being at risk seems like I will never be with people again. Gotta think of something to do. Depression is out of control. 😟 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepperkorn Posted June 23, 2020 Author Share Posted June 23, 2020 A Stevens dream! It was a cute old school one .. but I forget it completely! It was cute. We were talking - like catching up? Old friends? Can’t believe I don’t remember it. Packing! Packing for a trip and chitchatting. Kind of like sharing old stories while we packed for the trip. Hmm. No details I usually remember the conversation but I don’t. Or it was just dream hum of conversation- you know how that is. (No.No, once again, as usual, we have no idea how that is Pepperkorn). So that was pleasant. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepperkorn Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 Sad. One of my puck bunny friends had a website dedicated to Dale Howerchuk. Very sad he died. He always seemed so old to me but he wasn’t even 60 yet. Bummer. Hate to say anything trite. Hate to ever say RIP. I hate the idea of resting in peace for eternity. I’d rather rest in discovery or joy and love or something active productive and fun. May Ducky have whatever idyllic after life he’s hoped for.

Pepperkorn Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) Well. Eventful summer/autumn. My dad had been in home hospice since July (yeah, he’s not any more and yeah that means what you’d guess if you were not guessing miracle recovery 😌). ANYHOW. My dad was a big guy! It was impossible!! But we managed. Even skin and bones he looked pretty strapping even at 84!! Weirdly enough my dad’s oncologist turned out to be a grad school chum of my husband. She tried to talk us out of it even. “Your dad is not a small man and your mom is tiny”. 😄 But it’ the time of COVID and we’re a really close family so ... it was pretty amazing in the end. My dad has been compared to Elaine’s dad from Seinfeld by some of my friends because he can seem quiet yet grumpy (he was actually hilarious with a very quick dry wit) anyhow - he was so freaking happy. It was like he was coming to the end of the best book ever. I miss him a lot especially watching football but all in all in was a very good experience. Just thought I’d put that out there. My sister went to town on Facebook 🤦🏻♀️ Oy vey. I just go to town here 😁 Edited November 17, 2020 by Pepperkorn Typo of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
