Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
We are at the half way point of our holiday in a lovely little cabin/chalet by a stream in the woods near Quebec city. Travelling at my age means having to take more stuff than ever before, needing to rest more and so on but it is still absolutely worth it. R is off exploring Old Quebec today and I am enjoying this peaceful place. We will see whether I can sightsee Montmorency Falls tomorrow. Then it's hit the road again back to Ontario, a short stay there and then the three day drive back west followed by the chore of getting the car fixed.
Thankfully, I think R is finally realizing that we don't have years and years ahead to travel,
Would I do it again? In a heartbeat!!! 🍁🌲🌳🍁
Hope you got to see some pretty leaves, down in my area nothing much is turning yet because it's been so dry.
After the moose adventure we had another related one. Driving out of Goderich the police pulled us over and asked if we knew why. R answered, "No." Apparently someone riding a bicycle in Goderich was hit by a car last night. This person saw our car the next morning with the side mirror torn off and the moose damage and assumed we had hit them. They followed us out of town and called the cops. We had the police report reference number for the moose encounter and the receipt from the hotel in Sarnia as proof of our innocence and it all ended well for us. I could have shown them emails from my insurance company from a few days before but that wasn't needed. The young cop was embarrassed, poor guy.
We so enjoyed the trip and when I woke up this morning, my first thought was "Where are we going today?" Oh, well. Better do a little laundry first.🧺
After several years of not having one, not remembering what happened to the two we had, maybe we just don't need one.
No longer pulling each celery stem apart to cut it, I take the entire celery stalk and start cutting the whole thing in half, then continue to cut tiny slices that end up as chopped celery. Then re-wash the cut up pieces, put the rest back in the refrigerator. Time is short for being in the kitchen.
Watching old reruns of Murder She Wrote on Roku, your story would fit right in
where she writes of Cabot Cove in Maine strange happenings where innocent
people get arrested. Small town suspicions. That was some good police work
anyway.
Was it a small town?
I can really recommend to everyone, no matter how old you are, take a holiday! It has done wonders for me but I do wish I didn't have to deal with insurance nd car repairs now. There has been only cooperation from them so it should go smoothly. The car is a 2014 but with very low mileage and was in good shape so I would like to get it repaired rather than replaced.
I had to chuckle at the question "do you know why I pulled you over" because that's a standard one, it's as if they're hoping you'll say "why yes officer, I was doing xxx" (lol)
Ah, I see. It was in the local news.
It could have been an AB car that hit the cyclist, but most black cars don't have grey side mirrors.
Oh, good. This bout is over. Know we know you, we remember you, you're a member in good standing, and we are always here to listen. And otherwise it is just to wish you best of luck. Keep on keeping on.
i wish you to find love.

“Don’t feel sad over someone who gave up on you. Feel sorry for them because they gave up on someone who would have never given up on them.”
I imagine some residents might get confused and stressed out.
It’s always been in the common living room or dining room area and the residents selected to participate were those that would not be upset by the activity .
I’ve often thought if I was bedridden , or had dementia I would be frightened .
I think they should find out from the patient or the family if their LO did not like ( large ) or any dogs in general .
My parents did not like when the dogs came in. My mother liked the cats that used to come though .
The term "mutiny" in this context likely refers to a partner taking control of the finances, which can be a form of financial abuse regardless of the reason. While a husband with autism might take over money due to communication differences, a lack of understanding of shared finances, or other factors, this behavior can still be harmful and requires addressing the situation with clear communication and professional support.
