Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
They showed him and his wife and girlfriends photos. He and his wife are both in their late sixties, early seventies I would guess. It was hard to tell cause they were African american and a lot of them look young for their age. The girlfriend looked to me to be in her late thirties, early forties, blonde, slim and attractive.
Could he be doing this for fear of losing his assets if he left his wife? There is always that to consider. A person with Alzheimer's can still be co owner and so on of property, assets etc. can't they. Maybe if he left her he'd lose all that. Who knows. I am skeptical.

The BBC absolutely adores running stories about how Japan isn't all it's cracked up to be, with its soaring rates of drug abuse, teen delinquency, organised crime etc etc. Well! - the rates may be 'soaring' by Japanese standards, but it only ever seems to mean they're soaring from virtually none to hardly any.
On the other hand. Daughter 2, knowing I'm a big fan of the country, gave me a little handbook about Ikegai and how to live happily to one hundred, like almost everyone aims to in Okinawa.
All I can say is that I wonder more than ever what Japanese readers make of the novel 1984, and whether they actually get what's so dystopian about it?
Oops. Ikigai. I beg its pardon.
There are a few websites out there, it is like Bop-A-Mole trying to get the ads off of what I am reading... and doing it again when it says "go to next page" :P
And try installing adblockplus if you want to get rid of pop up ads.
the jail guards were complaining they were working as caregivers
one woman when released committed another crime to be sent back
Avoid the online ads that draw you in, give you limited but enticing next page, then next page, until you never get your answer unless you pay for something.
Have you ever gone to the ones that say: "Never eat this one food"; OR,
"Three foods you should never eat".
Those are the ones you just cannot get through without the ads taking over.
After going there, you find your computer is slowing, hard to type in your words correctly.....etc. Advice is to shut your computer down for a few minutes, then restart. May not work. So just stay away from those ads.
Now that I know what to call it, my hubs will help me. He hates it if I don't use the right words, or his words.
I have deleted cookies, history before. That time I was not able to log back in to AgingCare without help from admin.
But I will still avoid those click bait ads, just like avoiding all the tabloid papers at the market checkout as I have always done.
Now, everytime I close my computer, I was being logged out automatically.
So, I have increased my efforts to log out on purpose. Except when I fall asleep in the middle of posting.
My aunt is doing ok at rehab. We have a Care-plan meeting Tues. It's a week late because I was sick. My high blood pressure has gone down! So peaceful not waiting and listening for her next fall, or what to feed her, or why she's up and dressed at 2 am. I believe that I'm getting too old, and have too many health issues of my own to keep up after her rehab. Not easy to decide.
I believe your own health condition has made the decision for you.
There is one school of thought that teaches we should not treat our own bodies harshly. imo.
Schlep only if the weather allows.
Can you find a new church where you live?
Here is your ritual greeting:
Good Morning! Good to see you here today!
God Bless you.
Stay after the service and say hello.
Greet someone you do not know today.
Divide up into small groups for prayer in the sanctuary.
Go in Peace.
And remember, the life that He gives, He gives you forever!
Yes, small towns can be insular. Luckily I am sick enough to need one of those self-help groups, and have other adults to talk with. Good luck.
