Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch-Part Six

Now we all get to travel together.

Well, at least that is a positive...

{{{{{HUGS}}}}}!

Thanks to all for your support. Went to the nursing home thus afternoon and picked up her personal effects. Left her clothes with the nursing home to either donate or pass around the other residents. That's pretty much whar happens anyway. Nurse told me that people always want to know why so and so is wearing my mother's sweater. Geuss it never occurs to them that their mother has the mental capacity of a three year old and probably gave it to them to wear. Of course some of these old folks (I know, we're there too) aren't all that nice and tend to steal a little (or a lot). What really amazes me is the amount of sex that actually goes on in the nursing home. Heck, they're old not dead.

Adding my sincere condolences @MattB101 and Doree. I am so glad you guys got there to say goodbye.

Make it a safe one...

Yep, every time we took a vacation we had an Alzheimer's facility that we would use for my mother and aunt (usuall 3 weeks a year) - they always came home with different shoes and sometimes even clothes than what we dropped them off with... Man, could I tell some stories about those places...

Doree's mom passed away last night. All in all I believe it's a good thing but, of course, it is hard on her family. Thanks to all of you for your prayers and I am really thankful that we made it down here in time for Doree to say goodbye. Now the fun part begins. Arranging the memorial service and the finalizing the funeral home (vultures) want. Also writing the obituary. Nothing is simple theae days. I'll check back in later.

Matt, sorry Dorree's mother passed away. My condolences to the both of you.

Not yet. We are bringing with us but we suspended moving ops and just dropped everything and drove down. Probably only be here for a couple of weeks and then back to Virginia to wrap everything up. One of the good things about this trip is we brought both cars with us and will be leaving Doree's down here when we leave. That way we can all travel in the motorhome a dn tow my car on a dolly. The original plan was to have me drive the motorhome with the dog, tow my car and have Doree drive hers with the cat. Now we all get to travel together.

ok, well I kinda remembered y'all were in two vehicles, just remembered it wrong. Glad y'all will be able to travel down together for the move.

Jup! My sil worked in mental health for years, often in locked crises units, and also in nursing homes. There is a ton of sex in nursing homes, and also in the crisis units any time they can get away with it. And they'll do it any place!

My sister is in an Alzheimer's facility, and I confirm this absolutely. I've had to accept it and never get anything for her that isn't absolutely expendable. I almost think the concept of property rights is the first thing to go. Anyhow, she seems at least as good at the acquisition game as anyone else.

This is NOT a box mod:

I was crestfallen when I discovered that my mother's hearing aids disappeared when she died. Although they might have been too wimpy for me. Old-fashioned on-the- body-aids are your best bet for relatives in assisted living facilities. Just not cool is just right.

so sorry to hear this. I know that's so devastating

Well, I'm a little late, but couldn't let the opportunity to wish you and Ginny a very happy anniversary, Pat. It is very refreshing and heartwarming to know that the two of you have made it

I will NOT respond to your second-to-last sentence...I will NOT..

Well I'd like to see the whole 'reaming' be beat down ... but I hope at least this gets through.

Is it the distro for you? That depends - although I find SUSE much friendlier and "lighter" than the [REV]buntu line - I also understand that SUSE - like many other Linux distros out there - has it's problems. And with SUSE being one of the oldest distros out there, I keep returning to it. So why not try something else? Well I have tried Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Arch, Slackware, Mint, etc... and they were either too finnicky or just took too darn long to pull repos (a place to pull software from - also known as a repository) for. As for SUSE - get ready for a long download after dropping that disk in. You have millions upon millions of repos to choose from. And although SUSE is based on (and quite honestly centered on) SERVER operators - it JUST WORKS. No goofy workarounds, no bin / bash-ing through the console for weeks to install a simple app - you can if you want, just not my thing anymore - and once you get it up and running, you can go through YAST2 and install everything you want or need in one click. Granted certain things like that, people get offended by, but for me... I do both the console AND YAST - because my grammar and spelling has drastically declined over the past 5 years.

Have I used ARCH before? Hell yes! And if you are a tinkerer and like to "do-it-yourself", then ARCH might be right up your alley. So what distro is for you? Depends on the type of person you are. If you plan on using your machine for networking, server-type work - give Fedora a try. If you want something that just works right out of the box - try SUSE, if you want a "build your own", then try ARCH. Other distros, I won't even fart with anymore. They are either quirky, lack large repos to pull data from, or just have a community that is so small, they can't really help. ARCH's community is pretty good, you have to have some patience in working with those guys... but just like anything else, they also have a thorough wiki to read through. Fedora - same thing except the wiki is fairly vague - and in certain circumstances - obsolete. SUSE on the other hand - has the best of both worlds. A plethora of knowledge in their wiki, a community that ALSO has a plethora of knowledge at its disposal, and a vast number of repos from - I don't think you can go wrong with either of the 3 I mentioned. I went from SUSE to ARCH in a couple of months. And I love ARCH, but because things have changed in the LINUX world, I defauly back to SUSE every time to relearn the basics of LINUX.

@Kenna - I'm always gentle. I don't cause folks to spontaneously combust by using the brainpower on them. Nope - not me. However, if people think I wont spank their behinds with common sense when they act up... that is within my nature. I am - for all intents and purposes - a gentle giant.

@MattB101 - My condolences for you guys' recent loss.

Bet yur a Twitter Monster!

Haha! Got ya! What I said was that my GF grilled a turkey burger for me. As in George Foreman (grill).

 

[clnire]

When he said GF I think he meant George Foreman.... As in grill.... Could be wrong! Only Dave knows for sure.

Oops, guess we were typing at the same time!
