Fucking USAirways made me a doubter. Yay Aussie wine!

If given a choice, I want to fly internationally on sheik-funded MidEast airlines. Avoiding US based like the plague. They've been the cushiest in my limited experience. Best food, entertainment, perks. C'mon Qantas, impress me with more than your safety record!

Because books.

the transition may be really hard, but I bet the long-term will be easier for all of you

I agree. It sounds like one of the things that really upsets your mom is any disruption of her schedule or the familiar things she expects to happen/have. Once that transition is over, the routine in a facility might be really comforting for her.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Qantas is pretty nice, I'd place them ahead of US and United. My favourite airline is probably Singapore, though it's been some years since I last checked them out.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Yep, that's the case with dementia.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, there's no easy solution. But I'll repeat again that you taking care of them is NOT a solution. You need a job for money and can't do both things full-time and survive. Put your own oxygen mask on first.

When flying internationally, I try to fly the country's airline. It's almost always nicer.

Qantas is pretty nice, I'd place them ahead of US and United. My favourite airline is probably Singapore, though it's been some years since I last checked them out.

I flew Singapore airlines once with my parents. I remember getting a lot of swag, including a deck of cards with a gorgeous woman on them. Of course, that may have been because we were flying on the black passports.
