Infirm Parents for Dummies.. ....... . . . . . .. . .

Em, I hear you. My parents are both 84, and the decline is noticeable, more so in my mother. Jacquie is also dealing with aging parents. Her mother has Alzheimer's Disease and can not be left alone anymore. It is hard watching those you love become less and less capable.

I heard something once which may be a fit in Sillyville for this:

May you live long enough to be a burden to your children.

{{{HUGS}}}

'.. .. .. . ...How incredible, if you could be here. ALL Psillies, in the hospital with me. . . ..

We are sweetie.

Thanks for this, POeter. I needed it - - there are always those who have things tougher. My dad has never grappled with the Alzheimer's demon. .. . .this must be absolutely heart-wrenching, to lose a loved parent in such a way, as he/she slowly becomes a complete stranger. Hugs back to you and Jacquie.

Enuff sadness in Da Ville! Someone start talkin' about penii, er sumphin'. . . . . .. ..

Ok--I just ate a huge bowl of fresh pineapple chunks.

There's a start--take it way, pholks.....

[Jestgar]

Next time I get a major owie I'm asking the vet for whatever she gave Lyle. It's obvious that his paw still hurts, but he soooooo doesn't care.

Gaacck. I don't know what it is about pineapple, but I just can't get into it. It is more than just sweet--it is cloying.

For the life of me I cannot fathom why otherwise intelligent people would put pineapple on a pizza, along with ham, and actually eat the thing.

Give me bacon, mushrooms, green olives and green peppers. I'll take some gluten-free pepperoni if available, all on gluten-free crust. Lots of mozzarella and some tomato sauce, too.

Bad for the heart? Have you heard of the Cardiologist's Diet? "If it tastes good, spit it out!"

[DingoGirl]

Oh no Suz--our wee lil Skit Cat is growing up!!

......where does the time go?????........

I know

I wants the wee Kitteh who attaks and snuggles and plays and kisses the Weez

may HE come back!

Uh yes! Could you get working on that toot-sweet?

Okay. Yeah. I've had SO much luck with the Forest Service and guv-ment grants, I"ll start working on ours TOOT SWEET

Aw, Poeter. Sending hugs and love. The cycle of life, so bittersweet.

Enuff sadness in Da Ville! Someone start talkin' about penii, er sumphin'. . . . . .. ..

Next time I get a major owie I'm asking the vet for whatever she gave Lyle. It's obvious that his paw still hurts, but he soooooo doesn't care.

WHOT? what woz it?? percocet? darvocet? ecstacy? GIVE IT TO US!!!!!!!!!!

For the life of me I cannot fathom why otherwise intelligent people would put pineapple on a pizza, along with ham, and actually eat the thing.

OMG - that was my second favorite pizza - pineapple and canadian bacon (first being vegetarian in garlic sauce :drool: )

such a bastardized version of anything resembling the original, but I do NAE care!!!!!

off to bed Sills.

some sombering thoughts but.....not for now, more later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[elye]

Good Morning, Psillies!

Give me bacon, mushrooms, green olives and green peppers. I'll take some gluten-free pepperoni if available, all on gluten-free crust. Lots of mozzarella and some tomato sauce, too.

Hey! POeter, you had this when we had our pizza lunch together, methinks. . . ..

Certainly the mushrooms, as that brought about the discussion of their different life level and questionable value as human food. . . . ...

and tho thillies, your wisth ith my command <penith - HEE!!!!!!!!!>

OMG.. . . ....PENITH! Somehow sounds like a Biblical term. . .... ...O brandisheth thy penith...... .. . ... .

[Jestgar]

oh who invented work anyway??

want to stay home and lounge with Lyle in bed. He's claimed his spot, next to the open window where, if anything exciting happens he can open one bleary eye and say 'hey'.

actually this kinda describes me at work, so maybe going in isn't so bad.

[jerseyangel]

Me phave, too--except swap out black olives fer the green. I also like pepperoni much better on pizza than sausage (Mark and I disagree on this). Never tried pineapple on pizza--can't fathom it wif tomato sauce <yuckphace>

O brandisheth thy penith...... .. . ... .

Sounds like Em's throwin down the gauntlet

He's claimed his spot, next to the open window where, if anything exciting happens he can open one bleary eye and say 'hey'.

He sounds so comfy

Okeydokey....I know I live in Texas...and it's the south....and it's hot.....BUT pseriously Sillies--this is the hottest day I've ever felt in me life! I ran to the store (drove, really) ... planned to get there and back asap. Well, I got back here, and first couldn't get into the parking garage, and then my keypad wouldn't work on the building door.

I had to park the car, traipse around the freakin building to the front door, groceries in hand, praying it would open....and luckily one of the property managers was there showing an apartment er sumphin.

I need another shower

How do people LIVE here????? HIH did they live here before air conditioning????

I feel better now

Swear to gawd--it's like an oven out there Literally.

Thanks for this, POeter. I needed it - - there are always those who have things tougher. My dad has never grappled with the Alzheimer's demon. .. . .this must be absolutely heart-wrenching, to lose a loved parent in such a way, as he/she slowly becomes a complete stranger. Hugs back to you and Jacquie.

This might sound a tad macabre, but I'm actually a bit jealous of you guys.

See, my dad was NOT an awesome guy. Not most of my life. He was angry, rather mean and abusive, and very difficult to live/work with. During the year he was sick, a great deal of that changed, and I got to have a year with my dad as my Daddy, as loving and kind and wonderful as I knew he always could be. I know exactly how evil his mother was (a woman with whom I will NOT associate), and how extroardinarily hard he worked to improve himself enough just to be the mean bastard I grew up with.

Part of the reason I grieved so hard when he died was that I didn't want to give up the 'new' & improved Daddy I had. So I find myself (uncharitably) jealous of those of you who've been able to live your whole lives with such special parents. I can only imagine how hard it must be to contemplate losing someone who's so deeply imbedded in everything in your life, who's so well loved. I sincerely hope he gets better.

And hey, so when did I become the traveling chef?!?!?! Who's gonna shell out for all that equipment, huh? Don't I get a vote in this?!?!?

[DingoGirl]

SILLS - am at work - can't quote things.

BORED OUT OF MY SKIN and so very restless. This has been happening a lot lately, I do nae like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nicola - yer whole post :lol:

what is The Wire? American show? I believe so...haven't seen it......

Padt!!!!!!!! are you sure you're not living in Fresno in July???????????

It is unbelievably, ridivculously, egregiously HEINOUS, that kinda heat yer talkin' about. Trust me on this.

For four months every year here (or five), walking outside is just about the worst thing imaginable....a hot, scorching oven smacks you and nearly knocks you down every time you exit a building.

I hate living here

BUNNIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG - I am a little in shock - you've written something taht is almost identical to my story!!! I had my dad for the last year of his life, only. My grieving was so incredibly complicated when he died. And about three months before he did go, he looked at me one day, tears in his eyes, adn said: "I finally found my daughter." *gulp* and I replied: "I finally found my daddy." We had dropped our lifelong weapons of defense, and in his prolonged illness, he softened so.

<this post edited to remove sad family ranting. I do that a lot. The sad ranting on the worldwide web, and then removing it >

and OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Janey joined Facebook!!!!!!!!!1 She's not official, but I'm going to make her become official......

:wacko:

I think what I really want is a lobotomy.......

and guess what.........OMG guess what.........

you know on facebook when it suggests friends you may know or people to add? POPPING UP FRANTICALLY and ENDLESSLY?

well guess who in HELL showed up on there today. A day I did NOT need it.

Yes, that ASS HAT from my former life. The most ruinous man alive. The man I will never forgive and loathe the thought of. HE pops up as a "potential friend." HOW IN HELL DID THIS HAPPEN?????? his WIFE pops up also, all the time. Ass Hat and I have NO mutual friends.

WHAT IN HELL???

did NOT need this today. did not.

<I think I'd better skulk away now as am feeling particularly vitriolic>

Bunnie and Souczie--you both brought tears to me eyes. I sometimes think that this is how it might go with my mom and me. A lot of you know there are issues there--but I'd love for the walls to come down now that we're still both here but she just cares about how things look--not real things like feelings and loyalty. So complicated...but then, these things always are.....

Don't think it's ever gonna happen.....just wanted to commiserate with you two. I really understand what you're saying and I'm so sorry.

_{i have a second interview}

:ph34r:

Well now!!!! Good luck--knock em' dead!!

good luck . . . use us as references if you like . . . we'll be good . . . promise!!! . . .
