Meh made me cry
80So I was having a crummy week (moving Mom from her nursing home to a new one was no fun), and I received a phone call from my neighbor. She said she had a package for me.
When I picked it up, it said it was from Meh. Hmm… I don’t remember ordering anything from them. Then again, who knows, I’ve been so tired that maybe I’ve been doing some sleepwalk ordering. I opened it and, yes, it brought tears to my eyes. It was purple love from Meh:
Also, there was a small package with this note wrapped around it:
Purple colors!
One of you Mehniacs sent this to Meh for me. All right – 'fess up, who was it?
So to you jerks at Meh and to my secret purple “crayon” friend, and to all of my other friends here on the forum, who offered to send me some purple after I missed out on the Fuko this time, thanks. And stop making me cry.

Aww, how cute
/giphy purple fantastic
+1 for humanity (or at least the Meh community).
Very nice.
Everybody Barney!
@looseneck no that’s slightly off.
Everybody Barney!!!
@CaptAmehrican Thank you for fixing! I don’t know how to do that fancy stuff.
@looseneck I was thinking the same thing.
@looseneck I can think of one place who is not too terribly fond of me right now – Mom’s former nursing home. We went round and round because they wanted to charge me for the whole month of March instead of just for the 3 days Mom was there. They pointed out that I had signed a standard contract with them stipulating that we would pay for a complete month in the event we left.
I pointed out to them that I never signed a contract with them. Mom was moved over from rehab and I was never asked to sign any papers with them.
Oops!
@Barney Fuck them with a stick.
@looseneck I’m gonna need a bigger stick.
Oops they forgot to also include this:
Glad they made you happy : )
Hey meh - thanks for doing this.
I am kinda OK about this, @Barney
@f00l I am kinda OK that you are kinda OK about this, if that’s kinda OK with you.
@Barney
Ok.
Were the tears purple?
@PlacidPenguin Nope, but I now have the means to color them purple.
Aww, that is so sweet. I love the way Meh takes an active interest and pays attention to the lives of our beloved members.
/giphy purple love
@PurplePawprints I Meh (but don’t tell them).
@PurplePawprints Yes they can do some nice things for people. For example, besides what they did for barney, instead of refunding me they just sent me a small fuko to replace the one I was sent where the box arrived open and empty. Several of us wrote them to make sure they were sending @barney something when she missed the fuko but they had already been planning to do that before any of us wrote. : )
Not me…I kept my purple bag, even though I you…kudos to the thoughtful person!
Wait…is the world coming to an end? Did you upload that pic all by yourself? So very proud of you!
@mikibell I’ve now done a few uploads here. I’m slow, but I eventually get 'em done.
@thismyusername can’t star this enough…thank you for making @barney cry!
@thismyusername
/giphy applause
@thismyusername Aww, you are such an ol’ sweetie!
Bravo, Meh community!
Damn, you guys have got to stop doing stuff like this…
…never!
Nice!
/giphy feel the love
Hope ‘Mom’ is getting adjusted to her new surroundings well.
@chienfou This home is brand new and right now, she is the only resident there. The staff is spoiling her rotten and she is so happy. For once, I think I made the right choice.
@Barney I suspect you have made LOTS of good choices about your mom’s care…
@chienfou Well, as you know, all you can do is try to do your best.
I love this place.
@Barney I know the change has been hard on both of you. Sending many internet hugs and hopes she settles in quickly and meets many new friends to make her smile.
Wish there was a Karmic Good Feelings Bank we could load our feelings into an account and let others make withdrawals when needed. Maybe I’ll figure that out in my next life.
@LaVikinga I think Mom is going to be very happy at her new home. In a couple of weeks the resident coordinator, from Mom’s old home, is going to bring a couple of Mom’s friends from there to visit.
@Barney
I am going to give full credit on this to @galmaegi - she did the lion’s share of the work. @hollboll may have been involved before I started, as well. I just helped gather some of the items.
@woodhouse @Barney Wait, what? I was just handling the shipping when I got this from @hollboll
@galmaegi @woodhouse Ahh, so no one wants to take the blame, huh? Poor @hollboll isn’t here to defend herself.
@Barney @galmaegi
shh, someone who is not on vacation has to take credit.
