It is a beautiful, balmy 40°F and damp. A couple of months ago, that would have felt warm.

I worked as a paramedic in the Rio Grande Valley, where there were some pretty horrible nursing homes and at least one very good one. In the bad ones, the RNs and the LVNs employed by the nursing home were nurses who had probably hoped for a more illustrious career, but were perhaps the bottom...

2.7 miles. I was going to go further, but I had to go to the bathroom. I hate being old.

Happy birthday, Steve.

I hate the whole redistricting thing, but the GOP has to play the same game as the Dems or they'll sacrifice it.

One of my patients, when I was a paramedic in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, went into what was the best nursing care facility in the area. Her insurance covered the costs, and she was happy there for a few years until it ran out. We were transferring her from this very nice facility to one of...

The last time I was home, an aunt and uncle, as well as two first cousins (brothers), were in the same nursing home. I won't name it because I am going to say both good and bad things about it. My first impression was that it was kind of a run-down place because it's been there a long time and...

We are discussing some of these options in @Marie Mallory's thread (Hospice or Hospital), and should continue to do so, but since that speaks specifically to her situation, I thought we could probably use a more generic thread to discuss these and other options more generally. Not all of these...

We feel bad (sad) because we care about you, and some of us express that by making suggestions, while others say little or nothing because we feel helpless in the face of a situation that only you can know. Suggestions of whether to stay at home, use a hospice, assisted living, a nursing home...

I had to drive to Bangor to pick up my second pair of glasses and am having dinner while I’m here. Country Fried Steak, mashed potatoes, and corn.

I'll add some new topic areas this weekend; meanwhile, more suggestions are welcome. I want to encourage you to invite friends, family members, and anyone you know who is 50 or older, and who you think might enjoy being a member of the Seniors Only Club. I know that it can be difficult...

I subscribe to Factor prepared foods, receiving five of them a week, and eating them either for dinner or supper. They make for an easy, microwavable meal that generally tastes okay, and sometimes actually good. The portions are perfect. I've tried other similar plans and have found that most of...

It's always nice to have new members from down under.

I sent you a private message (conversation) the day you registered. You can respond to it or simply tell me which last name you want to use here, and I can change that for you.

Yes, in most elongated URLs, the question mark and anything after it can be deleted. Amazon links will sometimes include other extraneous stuff after the ASIN number and before the question mark that are also unnecessary.

I am the humblest person in the world. I take great pride in my humility.

I won't post any others, but Amazon does have a lot of them, in various sizes, shapes, and configurations.

My concern with either of these would be snow load, but I imagine they could be modified to add a metal roof. I would also want to place it on a platform or some type of stand so that the bottom portion isn't buried in snow all winter. In case anyone is wondering, cats absolutely would go out in...

The same we as you would any other link, however... Often, Amazon links will add a bunch of other nonsense at the end of the URL. For example...
