Happy birthday Jessica! Happy anniversary sj!

And good luck, Jesse. I hope it's not too stressful, and I agree that many of the nursing homes/care facilities are very nice. As an aside, check out ProPublica's database of nursing home reports: they did a big project several years ago to compile state reporting data on SNFs. That might help to distinguish between the nice-looking ones and the ones which are actually good.

Common colds are common-adults get 1-3 per year.

And yet I haven't had one for a couple of years. Ever since the business with my folks (and the job) ramped up into Completely Stressful, I stopped getting colds. The only real sickness I've had recently was the vertigo last summer, and the ongoing allergies.

I shouldn't complain, but I worry that the cold is just holding off and it's going to wallop me but good--as soon as I get a new job, probably.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, thanks -- I will look at the ProPublica stuff. We're only looking at recommended places, I think, but that can't hurt.

I hope you find some good options, Jesse.

Happy anniversary, sj!

Happy birthday, Jess!

I agree with Consuela about the ProPublica site. I found it helpful. There are a few other sites out there too, at least there were for California nursing homes.

I've got a terrific cold at the moment. Kept me home yesterday and I"m not talking today.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Amazon just messaged me that my hemispherical silicone molds have been delivered and now I just want to go home and try to make Thanksgivikkuh nuggets.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

And yet I haven't had one for a couple of years.

That's because I'm getting yours and a few other people's besides.

Thanks for the birthday happies, you guys!

And happy anniversary to sj!

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

Bah, the local burrito place near us closed. How is that even possible?
