I wish I had an answer for you Send. I don't know enough about politics to even speculate a solution for the problem that is Donald Trump.

Gershun, You are still very young. You make so much sense-a very astute Canadian who knows what trouble we will all be in the U.S. if we don't wake up and get a viable candidate for the highest office in the land. Worried, I thought I should ask my Canadian friends for ideas.

I'm only 54 and I don't make much sense a lot of the time too. :(

I feel for you, Phoenix. Maybe it's not all the same kite, but multiple kites with one string? Who knows - just when you think you understand it, you find out you really don't at all...

Eileen is my Mums friend so all is sort of there just very jumbled up. I feel more and more often these days as thoughI have one of those kids' puzzles 6 children 6 kites but the strings all jumbled up and you have to find out which kid has which kite! In Mums world they all have the same kite I am sure

UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS. BBC
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.

Phoenix,
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.

Maybe it all made perfect sense and it is really just you losing your hearing? lol
BTW they are right, the queen 'is' remarkable for her age, isn't she?

My Mum had a very elderly friend visit yesterday - now it is always amusing to listen in to two people's conversation (made even more amusing by their inability to hold the line of conversation)

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!

The Carol Burnett Show collection on DVD is non-stop laughing and I find it more enjoyable now than when we watched the original shows. Definitely a must have!

Right now one of my favorite things is sitting in Mom's room and watching tv with her.we enjoy Blue Bloods, Big Bang Theory, Chicago Med, Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. For Mother's Day I got her a collection of Carol Burnett Show on DVD, so that will be another way to enjoy time together.

Was the card a birthday greeting?

It's okay, Gershun, some people can be hit by a car, a card, or a feather and the effect would be the same. We knew what you meant. Lol.

Hit by a car, not card...........LOL

Yeah, And I should know better than to mess with an Irish blessing-it was shortly after that the wind whipped up, the electricty blew....

I also nearly got knocked down by the wind in Ireland. No lie. We heard a story while we were there about someone getting blown off a cliff. I said "yeah, right" Then a few days later a big wind gust nearly knocked me down. I guess thats why thats an irish proverb. You probably do want the wind at your back.

My eyes swelled shut when I got my first sunburn as a teen. True.

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!

The road rose up to meet me once when I got hit by a card. True story:(

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face And rains fall soft upon your fields And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

Then there is the sun burn, with the sun always shining on your face.

I'm a klutz, Send - if the road rose up to meet me, I'd be kissing the pavement all the time, just like you said. And if the wind was at my back, I'd be straining against it to stay upright, and when the wind suddenly died down, I'd fall over backwards! LOL

LOL

Wait, how can the road rising up to meet you be a good thing? If you are falling, you will get smacked in the face.
If the wind is always at your back, t would just be too too windy-all the time!

Sorry.
