Thanks l, you’ve given me a lot of food for thought.

She’s on Medicare. They cover shockingly little outside of hospice. I was thinking about adult daycare but the barrier is getting her to get up and move.

Thanks, I appreciate your response. Good luck to your grandfather. I think it must be harder to lose someone you’ve spent that much of your life with.

I’ve never done this before so I appreciate any and all advice.

I think I’ve been deluded into thinking I could manage by how easy the baby is. But I appreciate your honesty. Thank you.

Her doctor won’t diagnose her with anything terminal. He gave me a diuretic and said maybe we should try to get her to agree to a CT scan. Good luck with that.

Have you checked out Poughkeepsie or Hudson? They’re not really upstate but both have good deals if you’re looking and great artist communities.

That was really lovely. I’m so sorry for the loss of your daughter. i can’t imagine and I’m glad your mom was such a fantastic parent.

I know a lot of Jezzies have experience in this area and I need advice. When did you know it was time to put a loved one with dementia in a nursing home?

She has 3 kids, all under 15, and 2 of them are obese. Her entire immediate family is obese. She thinks there’s nothing wrong when her 8 year old is having trouble riding her bike around the block.

It looked exactly as gross as you imagine it.

He’s always been a moron but he’s also clearly diminished, mentally, from that interview. There’s a difference between exaggeration and not only making up lies but clearly believing them. Look at his vocabulary. It’s drastically diminished since the 90s. Was he ever a great orator? No but he could string together a…

This week, I came home and my mom started telling me all about the “great deal” she made. It was the best deal ever. What it was for she couldn’t say but she knew that she had made the best deal in the history of deals. Sound familiar?

I live with a dementia patient. Believe me when I say he exhibits symptoms of dementia.

Dollars to donuts that Trump has dementia. That’s worse than a heart attack, in my opinion.

I think we have the same Facebook friend . Mine posited it as such a waste of food and all about how kids need flavor. Because fruits, vegetables and herbs all have no flavor.

Eh, Pence has involved himself in the whole Comey/Russian investigation mess. One can only hope that he’ll be impeached as well. This isn’t a Gerald Ford new guy situation; this is more of a Spiro Agnew, active collaborator situation.

People finding history to be black or white is one of the most frustrating things to me.

you’re exactly right. I keep reading about how Shakespeare was writing Tudor propaganda and yes, duh. But using critical thinking skills and looking at objective sources, you must realize that some of it is true, no?

I have a background in Plantagenet/Tudor history. Most historians agree that he’s responsible for his nephews deaths and even if he wasn’t, he was still an awful person. His interest in Elizabeth of York went beyond the way an uncle should be interested in a niece. Let’s not even get into the way he treated his…
