Actually if you go into search on here and type in names of people who used to post their posts come up and then you can scroll down and see other names of old members.

I just did that with Sharadale's name and scrolled down and saw other names from the past.

Windyridge was another I liked a lot. He used to say amusing things.

Veronica's husband died I think and she was having her own health concerns after that.

Remember Sharadale from Florida? I think it was sharadale? I used to talk to her a lot. And Stacey who had her F I L living with her. I think she and her husband went into assisted living just before she stopped posting.

I wish the admin. could make arrangements so that they could e-mail past members and then let us know. But I guess that might be considered an invasion of privacy.

cwillie it was Book,, and Captains son's murder has still not been solved! and yes it was Veronica! You have a better memory than I do~

Bookluvr, I think about her too! She seemed to be doing OK after her caregiving ended, it seemed as though the family was doing right by her (at least she wasn't homeless).
Are you thinking of Veronica?
And the originator of the very popular What's for Dinner thread (BoniChak) is another one who had health problems and then disappeared. I do get that people move on but you can't help but imagine the worst.

Cwillie I often wonder about past members,, many of who's name I cant remember.
Except for Captain of course! The lady from probably Guam who worked at a travel agents and took care of her dad.. with the family in the US. And the lady who lost her hubs right after she moved to Maryland near her DD who was a vet. And the lady with the very, very long posts who took care of her mother until her moms death. I think it's likely that no family thinks to to update us when something happens. Or they just go on with thier lives! As they should

Lynne, my father with vascular dementia was also vile to me. I was able to see most of his rantings as his disease talking and not really "my dad". The rantings were still disturbing, but they came to lack the pain I experienced previously. I hope you can gain a similar prospective.

Hi, How to you learn to let go when you father 88, is totally vile to you, I know tomorrow is a different day and he will hopefully be better, but when he attacks me verbally like this it tears me apart, thanks Lynne x

Having traveled much of the USA during my working career, I truly believe I live in one of the most beautiful spots in our land: mountains and hills with dense forest areas and the cleanest lake in the country. I often enjoy the scenery just driving back home. Myrtle Beach and Charleston are just a few hours away for beach vacations. There are places I still hope to visit: the Arizona memorial and the Grand Canyon are on my list. But the people are the strongest bonds I have to this place. There are younger family members I can still help (mostly in minor ways) and now my foster sons. Travel during the school year is difficult (except for short trips) and even the summer is challenging around camps and football practices. I recently built a camp on some lake property with my nephew because we can usually get there, even after Friday night games. I have a trip to Pidgeon Forge planned for fall break: staying in a hotel with indoor swimming pool and visiting attractions like NASCAR go-carts and magic shows. I have lived here all my life (with work residencies in Knoxville, Charlotte, DC, Macon, Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Tampa, and St Louis) and I am quite happy to know I will most likely live the rest of my life here too. My adventure is living.

Home sweet home got me thinking.. sometimes we have to assess what & where that sweet home should be. Does it still suit & soothe us?

Met an adventurous older lady today. Said she left for a holiday a few years ago... Left her hot, dry, boring state of abode, found a place with mountains, beaches, rivers. She loved it so much she just never went back!

Sigh.. maybe sometimes being wildly impulsive instead of always being sensible & practical pays off?

I too am happy to be merely at home today 😊. But I AM on the lookout for that magic mountain, beach, river land!

Got home late this afternoon. I have two new ports (one to use starting next week and one for backup. I hope they last for awhile. Be happy to get back to doing my hemodialysis at home. I hate doing it at the dialysis center. It's noisy and too many smelly people. Plus they try to talk me into doing peritoneal dialysis which to me would be a last resort.

Lea said she would not be inputting on milhells stuff again. That’s the end, that’s the natural resolution of the situation, not ppl coming in on one or the other side. Leas not gonna reply, she says, so that should be the end with no white knight defenders.

The Ukraine situation is terrible, Russia said before it wouldn’t start executing ppl, and here they are doing it. Even if you have other concerns it’s normal to be concerned about these things.

That said, milhell, you probably can’t make this place where mil is any better.

Dude. Seriously you have bigger problems in your own life than to focus on the Ukraine. Again focus on your own dire situation.

If anyone really cares what is on my mind, here it is.

My bosses wife is from the Ukraine, I help her a few hours a day. I read her news and it sickens me.

On the 24th, Russia is planning a mass execution of the Maripol defenders on a stage built on the ruins of a theatre they killed kids. This will never be on US TV.

I guess my life is not as bad as it could be.

MIL, you didn't "disagree" with Lealoniie. You said she was judging you. You told her to look in her own back yard. You insulted her.

Disagreeing is saying "I don't concur with that; here are more facts thar clarify the situation". You are name calling. Using threats and sarcasm.

No, I am not a moderator or an administrator.

Correction you are laser focused on one person whose post was helpful. You got triggered by her reference to the serenity prayer and your anger over husband's addict sister was transferred to said posters reply to you.

This must be a clique then. I am sorry for stating how I feel.

Do you run this site to determine, who has a place here?

You messaged me the same thing you posted here to "help."

Do you care for anyone? Or just determine who has a place on this site?

All because I disagree with one person.

I'm glad you read my comment.

I mentioned the liver transplant because Lea has been through ALOT of caregiving between her parents and her husband.

MIL, YOU are treating her badly. You insulted her. What on earth do you mean about "what's in HER backyard"? Who is telling you "stuff" about posters here?

She wasn't judging you. She was giving you advice. Good advice.

We are trying to help you. If you don't want to hear how other people view the situation that YOU'VE presented to us, then this isn't a good place for you.
