We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Oh, thank heavens.
I just spent an hour on the phone with a woman who runs a consulting service placing the elderly in assisted living. She's marvelous: sympathetic and knowledgeable, and free. (Although I would be more than happy to pay for her services.)
Seems to think that even with my mother's trifecta of issues (dementia, mental health, mobility-impaired), we can find a facility that will take both my parents and keep them together and give my mother the care she needs and my father the support he needs and all that without breaking the bank.
It will mean a lot of ugliness getting there because my mother is so incredibly difficult (suspicious, paranoid, nasty), but if we can do it, there is almost certainly a place that will take them.
Dear sweet jebuslug, let us be able to do this.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's great, Consuela. I'm so glad you found someone who can help!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Apparently, the proportion of the pop who claim atheist is growing.
Paul Ryan is a conservative Catholic (supposedly) but was an apostle of Ayn Rand. I have heard him speak quite fervently about Rand and not about Jesus. I wonder, in my heart of hearts, if he really believes in God.

I saw one interview where he said that he believes in Ayn Rand's economic policies, but not her "philosophy," by which I assume he meant atheism. I'm not certain whether he counts her "charity is evil" position as economics or philosophy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Young people especially are abandoning organized religion in droves. This seems to be entirely due to homophobia in many churches today.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Her writing (in total) runs pretty counter to the words of Jesus Christ (as I understand them. I have not been to church in awhile). I don't see how you can reconcile the two perspectives at all.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Great news, Suela!
Some Congressional districts are so small, it's not surprising there are minorities in the House who could never win in a general election.
I suspect we will have a female President, a Latino President, and a Jewish President long before we elect a Muslim or atheist. Or a gay President. Or a single childless President. There are a lot of boxes to tick off.
