Matt, health~ma to your dad.
Gandalfe, all the parenting~ma in the world to you.
askye, that's a really rough situation and I unfortunately have no words of advice.
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

What is even happening?
askye, maybe they could enlist the support of her doctor. Also? Maybe her doctor should review her medications, to make sure there isn't something going on med-wise, that's worsening the situation with her memory.

Good advice, Cindy. Overmedication is a huge problem with the elderly.
Other than that - you know, some of those assisted living places are pretty nice. Hell, I'm kind of looking forward to it. I'd recommend checking out a couple that you think she'd like and taking her there to see it. She might see that it's not as bad as she thinks, and maybe it would stick with her a little better than a conversation.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Health~ma for your father, Matt.
Parenting~ma for Gandalfe.
How tall are you again, Kalshane? My doctor told me last year that 185 was my ideal weight loss goal (200 being the realistic one), and I'm 5'11". If I'm remembering correctly that you're at least 6'2", I can't imagine that applying to you as well.
I am 6'2". The chart in my doctor's office states that as a "large framed" person, I should weigh 185, which seems rather absurd.
And after some quick googling, this site agrees with me. [link] and then links to this page [link] which has a bunch of different results, ranging from 181 (yikes!) to 202lbs. People of my height and build apparently agree with me, thinking 220lbs is ideal.

Oh, I'll take those old folks down.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ok, that right there? Is insane.
