It sucks growing old

Got a call from the memory care where my dad is (93, been there since Jan 10). He was eating, then his head dipped down - they thought he was praying. That is, until he threw his head back, his eyes rolled back, and he was OUT. They tried to get him to walk but he couldn't (he can normally manage wi...

X -Where Twitter goes to die.

Lately I've been followed by many accounts with photos of scantily clad women and no profile or tweets, but that like random replies of mine to other accounts. Bots been busy. That happened to me back in November. Back then I posted: Lately I have picked up at least 50 followers who follow thousand...

What are you watching?

I watched the first episode of (season 2 of) "Feud". This season is subtitled "Capote Vs. The Swans". It's about a public feud between Truman Capote and a group of socialites in the mid 60s. I wasn't planning to watch until I heard an interview with Molly Ringwald on "Fresh ...

It sucks growing old

I spent Friday afternoon and evening in an emergency room with my sister. She has been sick since MLK day - strep, ear infection, that cough/cold that's going around... you name it. (She's 64 and a special ed teacher, and is exposed to EVERYTHING.) Since she was experiencing vertigo, I drove her to ...

2024 Total Solar Eclipse

I am going to Lima, OH to stay with my niece's husband's family. For the 2017 eclipse I saw totality in Easley SC where my sister lives. It was amazing! Perfect cloudless skies; I hope for the same in April. I took this picture pre-totality - it's shadows from a small colander. Pretty cool: Colander...

Fav (and not so fav) TV and Movie Themes

When we were kids coming home from school, "Batman" reruns were always on. My little sister, in her playpen (remember those?), would sing the theme song. Her first word was "Batman". She says she has met other people who say that was their first word too, probably for the same re...

Ron Desantis 2024

Both president and vice president can be from the same state - but they can't both get electoral votes from that state, so it could affect the election.

It sucks growing old

My dad's been in his memory care facility for 10 days now; yesterday I took my mom to see him. It shows how bad his memory has been that he didn't even mention that he hasn't seen her for a while. (They told us to wait until he became acclimated to his new arrangements.) I'm really proud of my mom f...

I like to see them pushing back on the "Biden is feeble" meme. Biden could beat Trump in any competition - mental and physical - thing except maybe a belly flop.

It sucks growing old

Sad and happy here... Back in October I reported that my father (93, dementia) had attacked me while I was driving him around. He thought I was kidnapping him. It was really scary for me because he tried to get out of a moving car. We upped our in-home care and started looking for a memory care faci...
