Sure was nice having empty roads on Monday from everything being closed and the threat of clouds for the eclipse. That was a show to see though!

The pinstripes are awesome! Glad he’s coming home

Most impressive hospital cafeteria I've been in was when I worked in Colorado Springs. They had bison, goat, chicken, fresh (ish) salmon or other non-catfish fish, fresh-harvest veggies, very little fried or overly processed. Not stupidly expensive. They then fired their CEO because of financial...

Stay on top of them TC-he’s come a long way and has a lot of recovery ahead. I know you’re going to be his best advocate to the medical team and God! Prayers all over the place (for your wife too @coachg!)

Thanks for the advice. Better part about caregivers is that if one is bad, we can request someone else, and it isn’t a 24/7 situation out of our control. Already on day 1, the caregiver was able to do a single-person transfer from bed to wheelchair with a gait belt. Those were verboten at the...

Agreed. It’s going above them at this point. Her little neighbor resident was talking to me yesterday as I was picking up her belongings. She said she really worried about Mom, because staff wouldn’t check on her. The neighbor (semiprivate rooms) said she always stayed up all night and was ready...

Just an update-after 3 1/2 months at a long-term “care” facility, and being able to see what was happening at night thanks to video monitoring for the past 6 weeks, we brought Mom home. We know her likelihood of being on this earth for any significant amount of time is low, but by God, no person...

My dad talks about hot wire for their pigs when he was a kid. They’d hit it with their nose and get 12” shorter. Easier maybe since they don’t jump?

Yes ma’am!

Almost got them all picked up. SpaceX tests are helping to shake them out of the trees

Could be ice. That will shut everything down

I did see a game camera that works off cell service so would have a data fee monthly. We may start with the review of recorded footage on SD, as that is cheap enough. If things are looking fishy, will dig deeper.

Does anyone use a remote camera system that can be operated without private Wi-Fi? We’ve had it suggested by the facility where mom is, but they don’t have secure Wi-Fi for access. Can use SD card and do retroactive review I suppose, but would like to also be able to control the system remotely.

What’s bad is my Mom is a nurse, I’m a nurse, my dad is a retired surgeon. We have had to play the “I’m medical too and know what you’re doing is wrong” card too many times. I’ve been on the patient side twice in the past two months, once with each parent. If you’re alert and can respond...

Some of y’all may remember that I spent Thanksgiving in the hospital with my mom. She has frontotemporal dementia and primary progressive aphasia (same as Bruce Willis), which we have been dealing with for about 10 years now. So she can’t say much other than occasional single words or sounds...

We do our “annual story” with our Christmas cards. Let’s those we see once every 30 years know what’s going on in our world.

Apparently they all need to marry well so that they can socialize instead of earn a living. Too bad they’re “working” so they don’t have that opportunity 😆

We get far too many California plates in Texas. Might be the Austin-ites heading to OR for like-minded souls, or those going to Idaho are the Uber-conservatives, or just for a change of pace?

From Waco Texas area. Trees make great eclipse watching tools

Feed shed doorway. Stepped over him twice before I realized he was there, then grabbed the shovel.
