Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Three

And your personal liberties, privacy, and self determination will be as good or better than the nursing home. And the staff will probably be just as caring and more helpful and attentive.

(Who me, upset and bitter? But the experience does encourage working extra hard at physical therapy to try to get out soonest.)

Amoret; I feel so absolutely horrible for you and I applaud your efforts to stay as upbeat as possible! I hope you've found a way to vape... please tell me that you have, unless you'd have to lie.

Only in recent years has General Lee’s Confederate flag, and its associations with the defense of slavery and white supremacy in America, drawn more backlash. In 2012, Warner Bros. shot down rumors that it was removing the flag from the car, and fan clubs where replicas gather remain adamant in their display of the original.

The major difference between the Confederate flag on the General Lee and the Confederate flag on the capital grounds in South Carolina is the endorsement by the government. To me, that's a really big difference. Bear in mind that there is no serious attempt being made by anyone to make the flag illegal. It is a matter of the flag being flown on public grounds BY a government.

Nope, never did find a way to vape. I'm using nicotine lozenges, really expensive and not really satisfying. I've been wanting to smoke for the first time in over a year and a half. But then I just mentally turn it back into wanting to vape.

Once southern state governments abandon it, and put the tragic war over an inhumane institution behind them, then individuals will gradually abandon it, too.

Oh, my. That is awful. I don't want to make it worse by talking about it but I just couldn't deal with that. You're amazing because you're able to.

Hey Porchers...got this from my Sis, wanted to share it with you....


Medicare - Part G - Nursing Home Plan



Say you are an older senior citizen and can no longer take care of yourself and the government says there is no Nursing Home care available for you. So, what do you do?

You opt for Medicare Part G.


The plan gives anyone 75 or older a gun(Part G) and one bullet.

You are allowed to shoot one worthless politician.


This means you will be sent to prison for the rest of your life where you will receive three meals a day, a roof over your head, central heating and air conditioning, cable TV, a library, and all the Health Care you need.

Need new teeth? No problem.

Need glasses? That's great.

Need a hearing aid, new hip, knees, kidney, lungs, sex change, or heart? They are all covered!


As an added bonus, your kids can come and visit you at least as often as they do now!


And, who will be paying for all of this?

The same government that just told you they can't afford for you to go into a nursing home.

And you will get rid of a useless politicians while you are at it.

And now, because you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay anymore income taxes!


Is this a great country or what?


Now that you have solved your senior financial plan,

enjoy the rest of your week!=============

Yes, but the real question is will Jon Snow be back .. ??

Now wait, I have not seen the last season yet!!!!

 

[clnire]

amoret, I applaud your stoicism. And your resolve to work hard to get the heck out of there. Thoughts and prayers that you will get out of there soon.

I had thought I'd waited a respectable period of time before making any GOT references .. I guess not .. you may now throw a shoe at me ..

Bingo ..

Once they abandon their Confederate symbols, that university will have to follow-- might be years, but eventually....

Matt .. if you have not done so already, you might ask your DR about Clonazepam .. a low dose of 1 or 2mg .. I've used it for years in order to help regulate my sleep cycle (well, in all honesty, I also use other things) .. however, a low dose Clonazepam will get you to sleep, quiet the voices in your head and take the edge off the next day .. not to say you have voices in your head ..

Torey .. congrats on your Ambulatory success .. each time I had a heart attack, I actually drove myself to the ER .. I was only 3 minutes away from the ER, I chewed a couple full strength aspirin the first time (if anyone experiences symptoms, chew the aspirin don't just swallow) .. I now have a nitro capsule pendant I wear all the time and refresh the nitro about every 3-4 months since it will go stale quickly ..

We men can be stubborn ..

I will do that. Thanks for the pointer. I though I'd just get the old lady a black jack and she can just wack me in the head. Tweet, tweet, tweet!

I am so glad that it turned out well. Next time, he might not be so lucky. That needs IMMEDIATE attention. We are not talking about a druggie with a hangnail, here. Might be best that if it happens again, tell him that you will call an ambulance, and follow through.

With a heart attack I am of the opinion that one should always call an ambulance. You don't want to be doing CPR on the side of the highway. Ambulances have all the equipment to restart the heart and are trained in the latest lifesaving techniques.

I'd be raising hell, she's paying for her treatment, one way or the other.

Although that would probably work, depending on the head hardness algorithm, the problem is, Doree may get to liking it a bit too much ..

No harm done Willie. My husband is on the road in motels downloading a few episodes each night No shoes necessary (heck, Geordi just steals them and runs around with them! No shoe is safe unless it is up out of his reach!)

True. Feel like hanging out? Just me in there right now.

Not tonight honey, I've got a headache! A Tualatin it's a quarter till 8 and I am having some difficulty keeping my eyes open. Thinking I might head upstairs and check my eyelids for leaks in a bit.
