INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

ok Chevy, here ya go!! No snow in my forecast.

Here ya go Spookie!

Phyllis is under Blizzard Warning and not the kind you get from Dairy Queen. 1-3". As the crow flies this is Kanorado KS (get it - Kansas/Colorado border) is not that far from her.

Loverly - yes I do remember the picture now. Just bum figs off your neighbor. I can see that you don't want volunteers springing up. Your mom can cook Vietnamese crepes for me too.

Chevster - Theresa would have to have a demonstrable need for skilled unit. Again it's all about the money. If all assessments come to conclusion that she is at the best she can be (even though that will most likely not be as good as it was) they will discharge her back. Now providing that the AL facility accepts her back. That too depends on the money I'm sad to say. They will balance their obligation/risk analysis versus how many are on the waiting list.

Susan - I hope there's some resolution for your mom. I know you don't like seeing her scared. Don't you wonder what prompted your DB to start reading Alzheimers Books - rhetorical question since you're not communicating much.

My MIL had dementia - not sure if she had a true Alz diagnosis. She and my FIl lived with my SIL for several years. Bless her heart - it was the perfect situation for my MIL. The last time we saw her I could tell she knew we were very important to her but I don't think I ever heard her call my DH or any of us by name and she adored my DD. Thank goodness she was never combative. I think we used to say in hospice (now don't take this as gospel) that the sweeter they were pre dementia you'd better watch out. And vice versa. Might have been true for my MIL lol. I had a pt who had a fall and then came on hospice. Much nicer personality after the fall - she and her DD had lived at the same NH for years.

Psalm 103:15-16

15Asfor man, his days are like grass;

As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

16For the wind passes over it, and it is gone,

And its place remembers it no more.

They are finishing the tear down of my neighbors house this morning. I felt compelled to look this scripture up today and have a little cry.

Spookie- the west has a big storm going on. Chevy is getting snow, we got 60 mph winds last night.

That is how breezy!

bah! JUST 60? That's barely tropical storm force. JK. It's nothing to mess with. That's enough to down trees and take off roofs.

STAY SAFE

goats...my mom has never been the nicest person. So sweet now, must say I am enjoying that and since she seems happy...all is well for now. We take what we can get, and roll with it the best we can.

Now don't anyone get mad at me....I am looking forward to snow . It's so pretty. And I love sitting in front of the fireplace...so cozy !

How are feeling today sas?

Hi everyone else. Hope everyone is having a good day.

Hole, how ya doing.....any pics of the new place?

Rosie, you hanging in there?

Hey Patty p

Hey Ray Ray

Mags, you feeling better?

Blonde, hugs to you

Prayers for all

Sorry to all I didn't mention...I need to write down everyone's name .....at least you all would think I was organized then :

Doing ok. Spent the last four hours doing a computer chore for cousin that would have taken 15 minutes if DH had replaced the ink cartridge on the house printer. We decided to use the one we got cousin for Christmas... That she's never been able to use. It's Bluetooth not wifi so the connection is weird. The document she needed printed would not display correctly on her windows computer but I have acrobat pro on my Mac. So finally got it to pair but the ink has been sitting for months, so it took repeated cleaning to get it right. Finally got it! Now I'm aching from the standing and sitting with my feet down. I have developed an awful ache in my left leg, probably the arimidex because it feels deep like bone pain.

Well y'all needed to know all that, dint ya? Took a pain pill. Dogs are racing around the coffee table. That's what they do. Then they will lie down and he will groom her like a monkey.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrr. I don't think I could live in the snow states. I would hibernate until summer.

Ms. Sas, French crepes are usually eaten as dessert and are made from wheat or all purpose flower, I think. Rice flour is used in VN crepes. Turmeric spice gives the crepes its yellow-orange color. Usually, yellow onions, green shallots,thin sliced pork, calamari,and peeled shrimp are added to the crepes. They are served with herbs lettuce and fish sauce.

Loveroflife- you are making me hungry! That food looks delicious!

Loveroflife- We took our Chinese adopted daughter to a lovely Mother's Day Brunch at an Indian Place here in town. She was just 5 years old maybe. She walked into this packed restuarant and made a face, made some pretty funny deaf OMG what is that smell kind of noises and proceeded to hold her nose in mock horror! Needless to say she ate tandori chicken and white bismati rice and fruit... wouldn't touch anything else and declared Indian food was nasty. It was so funny. She held her nose the whole time. To this day she shakes her head and says I would rather starve first. So our attempts at cuturally widening her taste buds totally failed. My Vietnamese kid will eat just about anything and is game to try anything new and different especially if it's spicy! I love palak paneer.. might be mauling the spelling but yummy! The food looks delicious.

Sorry about all the wild weather. It was gorgeous here today. DH and I went to a bird sanctuary and watched the ducks and hawks with binoculars and a spotting scope. It was nice to get out of the house! I can sit in the van and happily watch the wildlife. It was cool and breezy but sunny and the clouds and skies were lovely. There is a big storm coming Thursday afternoon and lots of rain and snow in the mountains come the weekend. We need the snow pack. Stay warm and dry ya'll.

I was going to ask how you made the crepe. Brie crepes sound yummy. My mouth is watery now. I think the difference is the flour used- rice vs. all purpose. Anyway what are you doing up so late? Has it been three days since you take baclofen?
