You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

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

I’m so sorry, Tep

And sarameg. But grateful for your insights.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I wish I could see more things.

I hope you get the chance to do so soon. I know it’s complex, though.

Sorry Steph. That sort of thing is hard enough when you have a well of good history and feelings to draw on. Much grace~ma to you.

Thank you! I am super excited about being 70. Seriously! I'm about to go across the street with SIL and DH and have a mimosa on the beach.

That's exactly the kind of thing I was hoping for!

One thing I read about dealing with parents with dementia - it's not like children who you're trying to teach good behavior or ethical treatment or something like that. Sometimes it's just best to lie to them. It's not like they're going to learn.

I must say, it goes against the grain but there it is.
