There is really good chocolate in Switzerland, and Chocolate coated macadamia nuts in Hawaii.
Who else wants to go?

Goodnight Gershun! Goodnight Luckylu!
Tomorrow is another day!
I was having tea anyway.
Coffee in the mornings.

My aunt belonged to a coffee klatch group - very snobby, you had to be invited to join. I can remember her fussing over trying to get an invitation, and being so happy when she was included. I would love to belong to a group of women who get together just to chat. Well, I've got my coffee and I've got AgingCare, and most of us are women so I guess we've got a cyber coffee klatch.

Everyone is invited to this coffee klatch in the keeping it friendly attitude of agingcare.
Have you an idea for today, Cwillie?
What kind of coffee did you bring?

Goodness you are up early, have you not slept at all Send?
I like a simple dark roast with milk and sugar, cream if I order out, nothing fancy. According to the web we canucks drink more coffee than just about anyone else in the world, following only the Netherlands and Finland. And why not, it's cheap, usually low calorie (no starbucks mega calorie concoctions allowed), warms you up in the winter and perks you up any time.

Sleep will come.
Coffee is plain and simple with non-dairy, but I limit it and now add boiling water, called cafe americano. I cooked an entire fantasy plate of scones, but it shut down the kindle, it was so hot!
I must have told 4 people that I was going to bed, at different times later and later.  I really tried.

Suggestion for AgingCare admins to create a new hug selection.

1) A cafe latte.
2) A white feather
3) The finger people (avatar was a thumbs up with black eyes, a thumbs up)
4) A group hug
5) Sign: Stay Calm and put your jammies on
6) Cute, but exit the teddy bear in the straight jacket
7) A beautiful cat hug
8) An ice cream cone
9)  A blank white box to indicate "there are no words"
10)  A heart shaped balloon with a teddy bear hanging on for dear life
11)  A sleeping bear with zzzzzzz's coming ouf of it's mouth.

What else? Any ideas?

THE INVITATION
CMagnum,
You are the only upstanding guy that I know on AC, and I would personally like to invite you to join the Coffee Klatch ladies.
Bring some conversation, and I promise not to ask you to bring in the firewood.

Not an exclusionary thread at all, right?

Everyone is welcome.  R.S.V.P.  (and no one knew I took french in high school) Lol.

MsMadge,
Did not know, until you mentioned it, that there was any such thing as a salt water pool!
Guess that is for the rich people?

Too funny, Send. I didn't know what the simple 2 words meant, and I thought it must be related to my recent activity on AC. 😆 "Klatch" is a good word. Put that with Guest's "transmogrify" and I've learned 2 fabulous new words on AC in two days. If only I could remember them.

I'd like to enjoy some green tea and scones with honey butter at our klatch.

Repeating the definition again, because others don't know the definition either.
I think the origin of Coffee Klatch is Swedish, Danish, or Norwegian.
Somebody help me out here?
Definition is:
"Coffee Klatch."
"a social occasion where people gather and talk about unimportant things". 

There are actually coffee houses called coffee klatch. 

Luckylu was correct.

More hug ideas: Hmm, let's see. An old woman or man holding a kitten.
or maybe an old woman or man holding hands with God.

These might be too sad but crying is good for the soul, so why not.

Sadness shared is lessened somehow. Good ideas Gershun!  Did everybody get their cranberry- orange scone with the sugary glaze?

Send,
Well rich people who have pools - ha ha

But, our local park and some YMCAs have them - much easier on the skin without so many chemicals

Nectar of the gods, cafe latte

Hot chocolate before bed would be nice, but I spilled my nectar of the dogs about an hour ago, fell onto the bed after changing the sheets, putting the wet ones in the washer, and I cannot get up!
It is so very much okay though, because last week I could not have changed my sheets without help and lots of pain. Tonight was a good night, believe it or not.

MsMadge, Was there dessert tonight at the hoca?

Report

Got there a little too late for treats tonight, but I left one of mom's favorite candy bars in the closet and let her aide tomorrow know they can share it after lunch

Hot cocoa sounds good - I always carry a pack with me in case mom wants some - just gave her small sips of cranberry juice in bed tonight - she is choking so easily now

There are people on here familiar with the choking and can advise you MsMadge.
Just ask, or maybe they will offer.

Luckylu,
The custard cups, jello, and applesauce you had given your mother may be good for MsMadge's mother? Wish there was cranberry applesauce.

The klatsch part, = gossip?
Thanks, Cwillie.
Can we still have our coffee, tea, and gather "to discuss unimportant things"? I think that there is finally something I am good at!

Have you heard the latest.....?
And what about those tweets...!

Hi everyone, I'm visiting my mom here in San Antonio tx. I live in NH. How I wish I lived closer to my mom she's been in this nursing home for two and a half years. Two of my siblings placed her here. My older brother has power of attorney. And he won't put me on for medical power of attorney he doesn't even take the time to check on her meds in this place. Any suggestions???

Superbel. if you post a new question you will reach a lot more people, threads like this tend to have fewer followers.
The problem I see with your question is that you brother CAN'T give you medical POA for your mom, it is not something that can be handed off to someone else, only your mother has the ability to add you as a secondary or remove your brother or give the NH permission to speak to you. Realistically there is not a lot you can do anyway since you live so far away and will presumably be returning home soon.

Starting the day early, dH was called into work outside of his normal schedule.
So, coffee, coffee, coffee!
We are so grateful for the hours, and SSDI allows him to keep his benefits beyond his trial work period. Just went ahead, got him to working (very part time) again, not knowing what benefits SS would take away, and reporting accurately. I know the gov't is not your friend, but in this instance it has worked for him. Not everyone has a job coach to help a person get and keep their job. I just wanted to report that one does not have to hide money from SS, especially when there is so little of it!
His work could end at anytime, and I am not worried.

Even though his good work is sub-par to his employer and they have him on what's called a "constructive discharge" plan, " we" are still trying. They take away your hours, give you a strange schedule no one could want to keep, but we are on it. Sometimes with his cooperation!! Lol!

Yes, thank you Cwillie! Loving the different cups, and I am ready for mine. If nobody minds, I would like the black and white dotted cup with the pink trim! Very good coffee, thanks, you are a good hostess.

Yum.
