Mom would prob'ly have insisted on filing a police report and sent management a bill. Sis was also a newspaper reporter and had the power and inclination to do a story about anything or anybody that ticked her off.
I never got on that well with either of them, but the same traits I found endearing in Mom seemed to make sis want to rule the world, or at least HER world, and take steps to make it so.....Joe

I never told the assisted living I was coming. I went when I did. Maybe this home is exceptional . I looked at a great many homes before I decided on this one. I knew what the bad homes were like. I also knew my sister would run away. Very few homes are set up for this problem. You can see the people are happy, the workers are happy. They are well paid. The place is clean and I never smelled anything bad. They have no problem getting workers. The owner sends all nurses to college and pays for their training in geriatric care. She never had children. Her father built and ran the hospital
I deeply appreciate the care they give her

daw, sounds like the place is a real GEM! My daughter claims she can stick her nose in the lobby of a nursing home and judge the quality with just a couple of sniffs, because bed sores stink and really good quality care is the only thing that prevents them.....Joe

A while ago someone wondered what's become of farmerjack. Any updates? He used to write on another forum, too, posts stopped about the same time there.

He also used to keep in touch with me somewhat regularly. Not a word since he left for that trip last spring. ☹️

I'm afraid we've lost Farmerjack. I always enjoyed his posts, and it seemed he was enjoying his life away from the farm, traveling when he wanted. Good guy, he's missed.

Ok I have shared about our moose Florence... Well she got knocked up and now they're are a family of 3...she had twins since last winter and being the welfare moose we have to leave feed a safe distance ....moose are not pets. You have to always know that they can kill. Yet this is their land and we have to live in harmony thus pre set of distraction feed. Last week on Tuesday I was stuck in the house from 915 till 5pm as moose I do not know were in the yard. Radar was NOT HAPPY he had to stay in a windowless room.

This is really random, but it was time to add "something" to the forum. My cat Boots, was going to be in & out until he tangled with something that ripped his shoulder apart, requiring layers of stitches. (A few years ago.) His demeanor (do cats have "personalities"?) changes when he's upstairs. He comes charging up the stairs when I go to bed, tucks himself against my feet or legs, purrs so loudly. Sometimes grooms my hand or arm that's outside the covers. Downstairs? Snotty-face if my other cat, Hisser, Dad's cat who sort-of came with the house, is near me, and if I'm at the computer too long, tries to jump on the keyboard. He still has evening zoomies, too, even though he's not at all a kitten any more.

UseLess , Oh yeah, cats have distinct personalities alright. We have two "unintended" felines, one given to us when her litter mates were carried off by hawks, the other just appeared one night, starving. The female is a "lap cat", while the male loves to be petted, but on the floor and never in a lap. They couldn't be more different. Matter of fact, the male won't eat canned cat food, while that's nearly all the female eats.
This is the first glimpse we got of "Casper" our ghost cat.
