FreqFlyer, I heard about this video when I was watching the morning news while changing dad’s pamper. I was suppose to google it when I came home from work. But I forgot about it until I saw your post. You even provided the link. I am sooo envious of them. They have some very good facilities there that covers almost everything. Did you notice that on the part when he was dancing in the movie theater, that on the screen was also him dancing? They really put a lot of effort into this. Some people in the background was moving to the music and some weren’t.

Captain – I never saw a Chris Rock video. That was sooo funny! My younger siblings would get a kick out of that one. Most likely they've seen it. When I have time, I’m going to check out the rest of his other videos. Thanks!

I found this on another forum on AgingCare.com that is so good I had to share it, it's a retirement village in New Zealand that is singing to the song "Happy" wimp/usualretirement/ Also, watch for the guys on their outdoor scooters in the background, funny stuff.

Book I love the dementia village concept and there is no reason something similar could/should not be done in the US. A whole new concept on aging in place which all would like to do. But is has completely different meaning to families of those with dementia. They do not recognize their place any longer, so the goal is to keep them in a safe environment where they can go about their lives as they think they should.

looloo, I am also a big fan of "Modern Family", didn't discover them until I stumbled upon a late night rerun, now I can't get enough of the show. Also a huge fan of "Frasier" which gets me laughing so much :)

A few years ago, we use to get the "Red Green" show here in the States, it's an older Canadian comedy about a fellow named Red who can build anything out of junk in his garage... some of the short-takes in his show were priceless.

And how can I forget the BBC comedy "Keeping Up Appearances" with Hyacinth Bucket. Always good for a chuckle.

This is one way of looking at your missing checked-in baggage - from British Airway's point of view...

Travellers are finding it hard to come to terms with baggage recovery in British Airways flight. The airway’s is misplacing luggage in various routes causing frustration, anguish and loss among British Airways passengers.

According to the British Airways , the problem began on Thursday of last week, 26.06.14 when a technical failure knocked out the baggage processing system at Heathrow Airport.

The airlines are advising people to carry their essential items in their hand luggage for precautionary measures.

The airline assures its ‘victims’ that their baggage is not lost; it has merely “missed its flight.”

I've mentioned this before in the other threads. The Paris Transport Authority released this Etiquette Guide for using the Metro in Dec of last year. This is a translation from the French version.

Understand that the huge crossed out cigarette on the platform is not a work of contemporary art, but a ban on smoking.

Propose to help the person in the Bermuda shirt with a metro map in one hand and the other hand in their hair. It’s worth losing two minutes of your time for a good cause if only to hear the (foreign) passenger struggle to pronounce the metro stops “Trinite d’Estienne d’Orves or La Motte Piquet-Grenelle.

No-Nos: playing music too loudly through headphones. Loud phone conversations should also be avoided.

Resist the temptation to stare for a long time at beautiful women.

Holding back from starting a fight with someone who’s just stepped on your toes.

Hold the exit door for the person who follows you.

Handkerchief not just used to wave someone off with, but to sneeze into.

Take the bag of an old lady ... and she will give a smile at the top of the stairs.

Greet the engineer, especially if it is a man or a woman [But...what else could it be other than a man or a woman?]]

On hot days, it is best to keep your arms along your body like a penguin, and hold the pole at the bottom, not the top.

Don't confuse the metro with the bathroom, even if both have tiles on the walls.

You know, I never thought that when bomb sniffing dogs are trained, that they use real bombs. Well, Duh! How else will they sniff out hidden bombs if the trainers don't use real bombs for training? So, the following article below was an eye opener.......

This was leaked into the news around July 2 of this year.

French police put a block of explosives at Marseille Airport in the freight section during training exercises- and forgot where they hid it, says a leaked report. The authorities have been searching for the perilous package for a week to no avail.

The deadly substance was hidden during exercises in which the local gendarmes were training police dogs to find explosives. However, the sniffer dogs didn’t seem to be trained well enough to find the substances. Neither were the officers, who forgot where they put no less than 100 grams of C-4 military explosives.

Some of the Strangest "hand luggage" items people have attempted to take on a plane (from ETN news):

1. A TURTLE IN A HAMBURGER. A Chinese man put his pet turtle inside a KFC hamburger to go with him to Beijing. At the xray machine when questioned about the odd-shaped burger, the man said, "This is not a turtle but just a hamburger."

2. A Weapon and Ammunition in his Son's Stuffed Toys.
An American father traveling with his 4 year old son, stuffed his taken apart gun and the ammo in the boy's rabbit, teddy bear and Mickey Mouse stuffed toys. Rhode Island TSA caught it in the xrays.

3. Tadpoles Inside the Mouth. A Korean woman leaving Guangzhou Chinese airport had a bottled water. The security told her to drink the liquid or throw it. She chose to drink it - except she didn't swallow it. So the security told her to spit it out. She was trying to smuggle the tadpoles out of the country.

4. Seven Snakes and Three Turtles in his Pants. - A man going from Miami to Brazil tried to smuggle these animals in nylon bags hidden in his pants.

5. A Corpse in a Wheelchair Pretending to be a Passenger.
2 German women (age 41 and 66) tried to board their relative's cadaver as a 3rd passenger from Liverpool John Lennon airport to Berlin. The dead man was wearing sunglasses. When questioned about him, they told security that he's sleeping.

6. A Crocodile in a Briefcase.
Jetcost airline. A passenger brought the crocodile in the carryon luggage. It escaped. The passengers totally panicked and fled away from it. This caused the plane to lose balance and crashed into a house during a flight from Kinshasa to Bandundu. The Only Survivor of the Let410 plane crash told what happened. Ironically, the crocodile survived the accident, but was immediately killed by the rescuers with a machete.

7. A Laser Sword from Star Wars.
TSA stopped the actor Peter Mayhew (played Chewbacca) just finished a ComicCon in Colorado was returning home to Texas. It caused a serious debate if it was a threat or not. Finally, American Airline Staff came to his rescue and managed to convince TSA that it was extremely unlikely that a famous actor would kidnap a plane armed with a light sword.

I have the Elder Rage book but in paperback. I was planning to buy the e-book but it was way too expensive. I'm in the middle of reading a series. When done, I will make the time to read the Elder Rage. We can discuss it in our wall so as not to bore others. Hmmmm, we can recommend this book to the Book discussion thread and give our input.

Just found Jacqueline Marcelle and ordered her book on Elder Rage. Based on her article in AC she takes a very humerous approach to her caregiving of early stage dementia parents. Very cheap on Amazon for a used copy 1 cent plus $3.99 shipping
