A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?

Still, Dame Eileen, who dreamt up the idea for the original series of Upstairs, Downstairs with her friend Jean Marsh, says: “When I first heard that they were reviving it, I thought, 'well, that’s my pension sorted out.’”
Mum--
It was not Dame Eileen who had the stroke, it was her friend, Jean Marsh, at age 78, who had the stroke.
Long time ago.
So funny-maybe the friend, whatever her name is, would bring along her own caregiver, live next door?
Are you recording the conversations for your caregiving book?
Cwillie, Should I be worried? The conversation made perfect sense to me.
Who is Eileen, inquiring minds want to know!!! I hope she recovers from her stroke.
BTW they are right, the queen 'is' remarkable for her age, isn't she?
Mums friend is really very hard of hearing, Mum has dementia and her speech is quite soft now (unfortunately that doe not follow through to her harsh comments but hey ho)
So overheard conversation
Started with Mum saying
Its about time you sold that house and got a flat - you can't manage it now
I don’t want to move from my house …go on say something
Well the Queen doesn’t use a stick yet
She pretty though lovely skin
Yes but she’s had the best of it all her life
Well not all her life she’s a commoner
Is she but Charles wife isn’t is she
Who Kate oh she’s lovely
And their baby is cute
Which one
Eugene
And as for Eileen well she has had a stroke
Well she wont be on duty much now then - who’s Eileen
Now when I had taken said friend home Mum said to me I like having Freda here (friend is not called Freda!) She and I have so much in common and she understands me. Its a shame she doesn't live nearer - perhaps she could live with us!
Oh and perhaps I could kill myself now!!!!!! I did say I thought caring for one person was enough to which I got the reply that I was selfish. Well I don't care .......I am a selfish caregiver!
What about STIGMA against the mentally ill?
Thanks Glad, for the millenials song.

Then, just an hour ago, the wind was so strong-we heard a loud Pop and our electricity went out. My husband thinking it was a transformed exploding-but oud electricty went right back on. Very, very windy here!
- Irish blessing
If the wind is always at your back, t would just be too too windy-all the time!
Sorry.
