Great ain't it.

On the other hand it could be worse. I'll take the mind over the body anyday if I have to choose. We have friends who live across the street from us. The lady was diagnoised with dementia a few years ago. She is happy but no longer has any idea who we or anybody else is. We've known her for 14 years. She is the same age as me. Her husband Mike has told me that he would be ok if the Lord was to take her. That is tough to hear. He is going through hell.

All the best Steve. Hope things work out.

Good luck Steve and thank you for the service to our country ... I pray the VA can figure it out for you.

As for your neighbor U crank I have often wondered if this old age mental problem has anything to do with aluminum? That particular metal is in the foil that surrounds our food and when placed in a cold refrigerator can cause a reaction when heated again. More studies need to be done, but I think it could be a link.

Not sure as yet if I got Monday off, with luck and I mean luck as being told anything at my place is bad that I got Monday off. Hope so got a few things to do.

Watch out for those gargoyles when it gets dark

Spent a night at the VA Hospital. Routine procedure, but since I didn't have a ride home they had me stay overnight until the drugs wore off. Still, I spent all day yesterday just lazing around until dinner with a friend.

Daughter went into hospital overninght due to signs of early labour pains so we await the call for me to take her mom to the hospital where she will be alongside the son-in-law as her daughters birthing partner.

I'm afraid I can't say much until family have been informed by the parents but I do intend creating a thread including all the relevant info as well as the picture I currently have on my iPhone.

Parents and newborn are currently enroute home from hospital

I've always loved these... Moira brought some back for me from the May Fair in town at the beginning of the month. Are these purely a traditional English confection, or can you get them in the US, Oz or Europe?
