Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization
By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

it will take a while , minds brainwashed , i still hear dad hollaring but he s sleeping like a baby . told hubby i swear ! i heard him hollaring carrin on on on , hubby said honey ure brainwash ! now that scares me . oh i think i hear bob segar lalala . dont i wish !
Thanks, Linda. I guess we are programmed. I know I feel like I have so much to do and I'm overwhelmed. But, hubby has just as much and he sleeps like a baby. What's up with that? :)
The thing about sleeping is that I can NOT, I could if I didn't have to be half-awake to hear if mom needs me in the night but there is no way I can sleep as deeply as I need to when I know that I am the only one to hear her fall or something.
Miz, I don't think I have slept well since my mom was diagnosised. (over 14 years ago) After she died I don't remember sleeping for weeks. Wish I had drugs then. Couldn't eat either.
One of the exes employees was paralyzed on the job - it was months before he could sleep more than an hour or so.
Like Ted, I've since been on alert for either those late night phone calls from Dad, or now, always listening for him to call for me.
the vet told me that way back in the early 80's yorkies were larger, but that was bred out of them. I've never seen a 20 lb yorkie.........I make sure he has water....she empties and I fill it right back up. I will take him away from her before I allow her to let him suffer.....it's bad enough he is so overweight, vet said he will die from his organs being "fat" if she doesn't slim him down.....I'm trying!
my neighbor has a yorkie . she wears x-small , tiney thing and shes 5 yrs old or older ? always goes out for a walk every day . well i have a cat louie , he s over weigh , he s 5 yrs old , always eating , lol
It's true. Yorkies have been bred way down in size. There was no such thing as a tea-cup Yorkie years ago. Even chihuahuas were bigger than some of the Yorkies I see now. Although our dogs (and us) could use more exercise, most vets only know as much as the maker of Science Diet tells them about nutrition. I remember taking such offense to the way a vet knocked my dog for being overweight that I changed vets. PS: My dog outlived the vet. Twenty pounds is a pretty big Yorkie though...lol.
just got back from putting mil to bed.....so confused tonight...doesn't know if she is wet or dry....argues about what she is wearing to bed.....wanted to wear jeans. doggie's water almost gone, filled it up again, at least i know that she will sleep all night and not get up and empty it....thank you zyprexa! hope everyone has a peaceful night and that those of you who can't sleep can at least get some rest.
Good Morning Fellow Boat Mates. Hubby and I are going to Springfield (about 45 minutes away) to Christmas shop today. We just have his family to buy for plus a couple of my good friends. I feel better today. Thank God and thanks to all of you and I think I got some good sleep last night. Thank you all for being here. It means so much.
Good Morning everyone - Hope you all have a good day today. Sundays are hard sometimes because I know I have a whole week ahead of me being asked to go here and there, grocercies, doct appts...etc...Whew! Tired thinking about it! College friend's dad passed away so we are headed north for a funeral. Never fun.... so enjoy the coffee and have a fun day for ME!!
making plans to move the boat and it looks like someone here may be going with me if the schedule works out. WooHoo.
met some guys last night who have boats here. Lot of drinking in the boat world. I left after having my salad and rolls to the tune of: Hey! ya coming back? ehhh....noooooo.
I have a Cat. Way more pleasant.
thought I'd mention this: It's been 7 months since mom died and I am now pill free. No more anti depressants or anti anxiety pills. Prozac and Xanax. Had some dark times and I took one Prozac about a few weeks ago but that's been it. They're in the med cab if I need them but so far so good. I haven't had a headache in weeks and I'm sleeping through the night. Caregivers, it can happen. Living proof that the depression of caregiving WILL LEAVE YOU!!
I love you guys and thank you for all of your help for me personally to get where I am emotionally. BOAT!!
A couple was touring a shipyard area in a coastal city of Italy when they saw a strange looking craft. They stopped and asked a worker, "Sir, is that a U-boat? "No," he replied, shesa belonga to da goverment."
bobbie, I'm glad to hear you are getting "undepressed" ! It gives me hope and strength to get through this crap. good luck and have fun moving the boat. ssk
Ted! When I went to the States the first time (1981) my friend Nancy taught me that funny song: "What's the matter you? Gotta no respect. What da ya tink you do? Why ya lookin so sad? Itsanotsobad-itsaniceofaplace-shutup your face" which was supposed to be what the Italian-origin mothers told to their kids who were born in the States! I liked that song so much that I still remember it. (together with: "When you go to Trinidad, all the boys'll be awful glad"... and so on) (My friends always took good care of my education) Until some minutes ago I did one of my most important jobs: "the cat heater". This is the job: a cat arrives from the garden, all cold and wet. He jumps on my lap and I have to dry him and keep him very tight, hug him with my woollen sweater and blow hot breath upon him, until he is warm and dry. Now I will start to do my secondary work, that is support this family! We are ready for the 1800 post, long before Christmas, as foreseen
Bobbie made the 6800th this morning! We'll easily be 7,000 by Christmas, right? Hoping to hear some great stuff! Jen's cartoons were wonderful! Wish we could share with all!
I'm really tired of my well meaning friends who write of being exhausted from all the holiday parties they must attend. One can't decide what coastal beach house to rent in January. Such stress ...
