The care home we chose was brand new and in my village so we could visit daily, and we were lucky she never got to the stage where she forgot who we were, though she did other family members who couldn't visit so often But after yet another really bad fall, it was the hardest decision to agree with my brothers that she couldn't cope by herself anymore and needed 24 hour care, and one I will always feel guilty about. Mom is getting great care at the VA. They only take memory patients there. It's separate from the hospital. The hospital is run by the federal government and the memory care unit is run by the state. We were going to go over this weekend to decorate for Thanksgiving but they're under another lock down due to another covid case on her floor. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckynana Posted October 28, 2021 #35505 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I know some of you who watch Survivor wait until you watch it on your DVR to avoid all of the commercials, so I certainly wouldn't give anything away.

Adorable! +1🙏❤️ Yes, I had never met someone quite like her before, nor ever after all of these years. When one of my daughters was having a Bas Mitzvah I invited co-workers who I was friends with.One woman came with her obnoxious boy friend who spent the entire evening,or so it seemed telling people how wealthy he was.When they were getting ready to leave she was on line to say goodbye to my family members and to give her gift which she believed her boy friend would be giving.He embarrassed her by literally pulling her off the line and saying he was not giving a gift because he did not know us.I do not know if she had money on her or borrowed some from other co-Workers because there was $100.00 in cash and a hand written note from her. I am happy to say that she did not marry him. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 17 year old granddaughter and I differ in who we are rooting for this season.One of the people I am rooting for has the same first name as her and that is why I am rooting for that person.She smiled when I told her that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play a lot of word games hoping that will help brain function. We did not have children so I don't know who would look out for me if something happens to my husband. Luckily, he's several years younger. I have a younger sister but she thinks the answer to covid is a vitamin regimen so I'm not going that route. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were supposed to come into Tilbury at the end of a Northern Lights cruise but unfortunately the weather had other plans. The cruise ended abruptly with half the passengers being airlifted to safety by the Norway equivalent of the US Coast Guard rescue helicopters. The only time we've been to England thus far was back in '08 and so were really looking forward to it. The Lake District is in Cumbria in the extreme North west of England. We live near Durham 100 miles from Lake Windermere in the North East of England. We are about 270 miles from Tilbury. Graham. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will just say, WOW. That is all. Wish we still had that over here. We had a couple of series about 20 years ago and I really enjoyed it. Now we just have the celebrity version each year. Its called 'I'm a celebrity...get me out of here' It's usually filmed in the Australia outback and the contestants always flew out on the airline I use to work for. We always use to try and guess from the placeholders bookings who was in the show before it was announced. For the last two years it's been filmed in a ruined Welsh castle because of covid 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
