Hit or miss so far!
I Know, Its really hard...to go through it....
We turn off the gas on our stove every time we have to leave my mom alone...(although I try not to go too often)..
We also turn off the elec. from the front part of the house as she tends to lean lamps in the window for some reason...I asked her once why...and she said to let anyone know she was there?????
I have to keep my car locked(more so in the warmer seasons), or she will take all her stuff from her room and pack up my car....while Im just in my room reading....or cleaning some room ...or doing laundry...Ill come out and she'll be all tired out....then I notice the back seat of my car is packed full!...All those trips up and down the stairs...
Id see her milling about on my trips into the kitchen,.. but thought she was just doing the normal wandering...She would sleep really well on those nights...
I stopped my mom from smoking, by making her smoke the cigs that wean you off the nicotine...they were in three phases...One(less) , two( hardly any), and free(none)...Then just told her she quit...and she was ok with it...
Laughed it off about her memory...
The last couple times Ive asked ...she knows my name is Betsy....but shes not sure of our relationship...Ive been her friend, her sister, ..even her mother...It all just confuses her...
At any rate....I know you could use these...
and Ill be praying for you and your DM&DD
to you and DU! THis has got to be sooo difficult!
The show will be repeated on Sirius 3:00am ESt time...if anyone wants to hear me!
That is JUST SOOOO sad & that guy does NOT deserve Subway or any other animal for that matter....It does seem like that might be what it is.
Since he's so old it will probably take quite a long time for him to heal.
At least I'm thinking that.
Most of you know that technically Subway does not belong to us. He belongs to the neighbours next door but has lived with us for probably 12 or more of his 15 years.
I went next door to advise them that he was limping, just in case they were to see him hopping around outside and think he got hit by a car or something.
I told the guy next door that Subway had a sore leg. He interrupts me and says .. I'll tell you right now that we won't be taking him to the vet
I said to him..... I took him yesterday.
Then he's like oh, what did they say
So next time I won't even bother telling them anything. From now on he is officially our cat. No need to involve his previous owners in any details of his care.
I SOOOOO agree...Dick is such a great guy & I'm sure he misses Keiko SOOOO very much, & she's (really) been gone so much longer than just the year & a half since she passed away....If his wife is no longer alive then he is not being unfaithful in any way at all.
Some people
If it were them, would they expect to stay alone the rest of their lives.
I saw an obit in the paper last night for an old highschool friend. He was 48. I haven't seen him in a lot of years but spent a ton of time with him as a teenager.
It was 2 couples and him and me that hung around together for many years.
Much to young
So sad for BIL!Thanks all for the hugs...i wasn't ever real close to that SIL...she smoked SOOOO much - i couldn't be around all that for very long...and she was ALLERGIC to everything else
It's so very hard to see our parents / relatives age. DH's uncle lost his wive to Alzh. a year & half ago or so, and has a wonderful new lady friend...but now his twin daughters won't have any contact with him at all since he's being unfaithful....after he cared for their mother day in / day out for many many years (like so many of you are doing now). just infuriates me that he's not entitled to a little happiness after years of sadness and agony....
OH YEAH....I was on the radio today.
While drivin to get james, i called into the LYNN SAMUEL show to disuss last nights Iowa Caucus!
Lynn Samuel is verrrrrrrrrrrrrry New Yawker. Been on the radio for years, and now has a show on sirius!
The show will be repeated on Sirius 3:00am ESt time...if anyone wants to hear me!
Roger got his radio turned off while he's deployed. But it's not sirius.. it's the other one.. Darn I can't think of the name. But didn't the two combine now??
Ugh, what is the name??? I hate when that happens

Robin,
Thanks!! I can sleep now... 
so I can't remember things like that.
Maybe you could record it for me on the disc with the David Spade show and send it over in the mail
turns out he ended up being some hotshot lawyer, wrote some fancy law textbooks or something
Funny thing is he will always be the funny awkward geeky guy that I knew at 17
