Don't be surprised if it feels firmer than you remembered the one in the store felt. When I got my Beautyrest Black Luxury Firm I was disappointed with my first night's sleep as it was not broken...

Hey.... how did you post pics?

Cute kitteh BTW

If anyone wants to pick my brain about things to think about/consider when making the move to care I'm happy to help. I've have learned much and there are many little things to keep in mind that...

Got mom moved into the memory care facility on Thursday.

She seemed good during the day and really liked her room but had a hard night.

She was pretty down when I showed up to have lunch...

Yes, it's called compassion. It's something I've hoped for on more than one occasion. No one wants to suffer or see their loved one suffer.

May we all go peacefully into that long dark...

He needs to go into memory care. They deal with the difficult and violent all the time and have more leeway in what they can do than a general nursing home.

My neighbor has early onset and was fit...

In Churchill, Canada, it is common for people to leave their cars unlocked so that others have somewhere to escape in case they encounter a polar bear

FedEx drivers who are too scared to drive up to my house and deliver packages instead leaving them on the road or in the wet grass to get damaged and/or stolen.

Yeah I've got a steep drive with...

What is with cats and changing bedsheets?

Crazy kittehs!

Sorry you're going through drama with your brother GL. After all you've been through to have the misery extended after your father's passing is awful.

***********

On my end it looks like I'll...

Why was she bypassing the screens? Frustrating to watch.

Sorry GL

Brutal Buster. You are a saint. Glad you're not having to deal with that on your own.

McSki, yeah I've seen some bad ones in Seattle but this one is nice. Very spacious and open as I mentioned...

Thanks everyone for the thoughts and advice.

Sorry for what you're going through GL. I missed being by my father's side at the hospital when he died but I was there for my great uncle. I was on...

The stroke my mother had at the beginning of March has sent her into dementia and it's apparent she will not be able to return to her assisted living situation. She has become incredibly cruel to me...

Never. That's why we respect them. Always true to themselves.

There's still time to show your respect:

Respect Your Cat Day is celebrated on March 28th every year.

Ugh.....

It's sundown and I just got a call from the rehab facility. She's pulling her call button out of the wall. She's called 911 and refuses everything they suggest saying she doesn't...

So I suspected for some time and it was confirmed last night that my mother is experiencing Sundowners Syndrome.

Got a call from the rehab place she's in for her stroke that she was wandering into...

So nice having a furry purry body on the bed though it can get out of hand. I had 3 last night and one of them likes to sleep between my legs.

Not much room for me.

How did G do with her boarding?

Oh you guys! So funny. LOL!

Rome there is getting long in the tooth. 14 now. He likes to spent most of the day in his heated house. He's got a bad hip and I think the heated pad feels...

I've watched my whole family die. My brothers in 72 &74, Grandpa in 83, Dad in 86, Grandmother in 2002. My mother is 92. I will be sad when she dies but not surprised nor will I feel bad for her. ...

This is an interesting read and something to know/understand about your aging loved one. I've seen this with my mom moving her between home/hospital/rehab facility.

Relocating Nursing Home...

Thanks everyone for the thoughts. Mom is actually doing very well. You can't tell she's had a stoke (this is actually her second). The only problem she's having is left side neglect which means...

Sorry I missed this Buzz. Hope things are a little lighter for you now.

As others have said, we're here for you and we are listening. You don't have to carry this burden alone.

((((((Hugs)))))

May he go peacefully into that long dark night.

Thanks. It is what it is. She's 92.

This just popped into my feed. It's something I've been thinking about. Seems like this would be a good thing to teach in school with other real life skills...

Oooh not the answer I was looking for.... darn Dylan and his repeat lyrics!

She's been hacking up a lung for a couple weeks now. The day before the stroke I had her at the doctor for it and they did lung x-rays and what not. Doc thought it was nothing big and prescribed...

Mom had a stroke on Wednesday. Currently in hospital but moving to rehab tomorrow. She is left side neglect and on top of that has now tested positive for the flu.

Other than that she looks...

What was she torn between?

Those security envelopes in Washington state ballots.

The ballot does not fit in easily and must be crammed in forcibly.

Psycho weather day. Snowing in town. Sunny and windy at home.

Funny this showed up in my FB feed this morning:

Can't even get from the house to the barn!

Around here they ebb and flow. They can be s real problem for livestock breeders.

Washington has no restrictions on killing them as they are considered a nuisance species. Some people do it...

I've got some bucks who shed weeks ago and some still hanging on.

Had a YUGE 4 point sleeping in my yard today and another smaller one going to town on a lilac tree with his antlers.

The ones I find are in my yard or on my acreage. Only picking if I happen to come across them.

The deer sleep in my front yard and feed in my wheat and corn fields (and eat all my bird seed)....

Found the mate! It was down by my barn.

Another thing ppl around here do is send their kids over to help free of charge. Not a bad lesson to teach them IMO.

I can't say that I never experienced spontaneous acts of kindness from my...

LOL! It's my nightly sport - scoffing and yelling at the news. Quite entertaining.

I just love how they came up with the idea and that Dad was having as much fun as the kids
