Good morning Gang

Happy place being talked of

To me anymore being with friends has been my happy place ☘️

Quote by KimmiBeGood

Warning, my writing is about to go weird and dark again!

Hosparus Health has taken over Dad’s care. We met together Friday night and they evaluated Dad. He’s really declined in last month. The nurse said he’s in 1st stage end of life which usually means less than 3 months left, but some do plateau and live longer. He has necrosis starting in a foot. Other foot is swollen many times its normal size. He needs to pass in his condition but I’m not handling the end coming. My bf who passed early 2019 got necrosis in all appendages while in ER. I will never forget seeing that. I feel like an elephant is sitting on me. I don’t think I’ve really released grief from my bf, best girlfriends, Mom because it was one after another I had to be strong for and Dad tanked after Mom passed. I’m going to need help releasing it all, I know.

In the meantime, writing is saving my sanity, but I am having dark and strange ideas in my head.

Hugs and may your dad be at peace Kimmi

Yeah, that seems to be becoming a theme song for the summer of 2026, eh. Sorry to hear it's still blowing your way. We got it for three days last week but I guess the weather systems shifted or something.

And National Handjob Day? Did not know that was a thing. I, um, gave myself a handjob. Does that count? (Yeah, got a little overexcited writing my comp entry😋).

To be fair the smoke is also coming down from Minnesota show my post to your favourite with puppy dog eyes

Catching up after a few crazy days.

Sending thoughts and prayers your way, Lion. I loved your daily mixes and your openness to share the jukebox when I first stumbled across Lush.

Thanks brother remember everything and everyone shares here. EVEN the Jameson

I was blessed to meet him a few years ago when he was in Louisville. He and his family are really great people! My heart is breaking!

Thank you for sharing, Kat! ❤️

Love you all! ❤️

Let's give Lion some music while he's here – he's more than earned it. Which is more than I can say about some of the rest of you lot!

Let's start with my favourite rendition of … Lord Lift Us Up Where We Belong … by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes:

The Würlitzer is going to miss his deft touch, but we'll try to keep the music playing!

And, of course – Jameson's all around, with the Irish blessing:

“May your glass be ever full.
May the roof over your head be always strong.
And may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead!”

Thanks Bear

Fuck it James you are one in a million... never had the honour to enjoy a bottle with you. I understand you getting a book published

Congrats my friend Tell me there a picture of a Polar Bear on the inside dust cover all your fans and friends will be honoured

☘️☘️☘️

I'll try popping in now on new meds

Bless you James

So sorry to hear about Carl’s health condition. As an occasional Rump’s drop in, I tried to meet up with Carl aka Lion while heading through KC one time but our schedules didn’t work out. Lion’s set up of “Music Selections” to get a start to our morning’s was always great. His love of animals both large and small was apparent in his posts. I’ll be keeping him in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you i look back and wished we met and have a drink together do me a favour keep a eye on Bear's taste of Jameson! Ok?

Quote by KimmiBeGood

Thank you for your military service, Fuzzy Lion!

And for your love of animals!

And for cheering on Chiefs with me! :worship:

And for all the great tunes!

And most of all for your friendship! ❤️

Kimmi your love touches my heart deeply

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Morning Rumpies,

Carl, AKA fuzzy1954, AKA Mr. Lion, has been a true friend to many of us here in Rumpulations Awesome Honky Tonk and Cyber Whatever Bear Feels Like Calling It This Week Bar.

Carl reached out to Bear and me (and perhaps some others?) to let us know that his health has taken a major turn for the worse, and he is in hospice care. He also asked us to share whatever we thought was appropriate with all his pals here.

I wish I could say that Carl will recover, but that doesn’t seem to be what the doctors are saying. He said he has about 30 days. That hurts my heart because he has been the kind of friend who transcends Lush. He’s more than just a casual acquaintance, more than just an online pal. He’s one of a handful or so of people here who know what I look like, as I don’t share my face on Lush for a variety of reasons. He’s someone I trust and who trusts me. He knows things about my kids and grandkids, and he even persuaded me to share a pic of my youngest daughter’s wedding dress. LOL.

I don’t edit stories for people because I don’t have time, between modding and writing my own stuff. But I always have time for Carl’s stories. And he’s always had time for me.

Some years ago, I took a huge break from Lush, and when I came back, he was here, welcoming me, making me feel like I belonged.

6 years ago, I wrote a story for him on StoriesSpace called Thanks Pal. It didn’t win or even place, but it’s still one of my favorite clean stories, even if it’s sweet and silly, and the picture says more than the words.

I don’t know if he’ll be able to check messages, but he said he planned to try. I would think he’d enjoy hearing from his friends here. He’s been a constant fixture, sharing music vids, telling stories about his animals, relating tales of his love life, and just being an all-around great guy.

I Ping’s. Let’s drink to the man who has been making us all smile for all these years on Lush and let him know how much he means while we still have the chance.

"May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. And rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of His hand."

Love you bunches, Carl.

Slainte.

Thank you Kat for all the fabulous memories we have made. Your Irish prayer hits my heart and soul perfectly

Love you Kat ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

My heart is full of love and knowledge of wild horses still exists in our country.

Time Jane and I mosey off to the ranch

Enjoy your day y'all and treat Bear to a hug ladies

Quote by Seeker4

That's been coming up in my recommendations but I have not partaken yet. I had a bit of thing for Tia in her heyday but haven't heard anything about her in a very long time.

Speaking of actors who also sing, Kate Hudson is proving to be pretty capable in the vocal department. Her dad, who I otherwise know nothing about, was apparently a singer. Mom is, of course, actor Goldie Hawn.

Dude you making me feel OLD 😃

Her fathe, Bill Hudson was a part of The Hudson Brothers and also their TV show in 1974

Here is one of their songs
