...and wish everyone "merry christmas"... the old man in a santa suit, the old lady dressed normally, hesitant, faltering, determined last year they passed out candy canes that tasted funny, this year they didnt pass out anything, and they seemed tired... there's three floors, fifty or sixty roooms all spread out... and ex-hsopital, seems like miles of corridors. but in the thirty seconds they were at the door, it seemed they'd gone downhill.

What? No Ex-Lax? That's all you can do, sometimes. IT SHOULD NOT BE THAT WAY
Oh, they get the industrial strength "Drano" for that.
The nursing home that Ann is in had their Christmas party last Tuesday. Santa passed out gift bags to all residents, contained calendars/crackers/small blanket/shampoo/body spray/etc. Lots of happy folks :-)

it was a great relief to everyone when we left him in peace.

What is and what should be is written in the mission statement and operating manuals of the corporation running the nursing homes/Veteran's homes. It's up to family/visitors to fill in the small needs and necessities that corporate does not address. The residents have their rights, including their right to be eccentric to the point that outsiders occasionally find themselves in uncomfortable (to them) circumstances that are encountered in the facilities.

ah you're telling me that the culture that's caused the problem has codified the solution to the problem. that's a relief. statement and operating manuals
#17. To: X-15 (#15)
does it say anywhere in those manuals, "X, grandma shit herself again... clean her up, put clean pants and a clean dress on her, and dont listen to her mumblings about 9/11."?
#18. To: lead.and.lag (#17)
Unfortunately, yes, that's how the nurses' aides do their job. Like I said, it's up to family members to fill in the "other necessities", including companionship and visitation.

#19. To: X-15 (#18) (Edited)
so you think nurses' aides will do a better job of caring for your Ann than your grandchildren would, assuming you have grandchildren that somehow are still human?
#20. To: All (#19) (Edited)
these old ladies... how do you read females, anyhow? they're sitting on a couch, waiting for something, maybe the bus... i'm slumped against the wall, resigned, calm, teling them i'm a songwriter, and there's lots of 9/11 stuff to write about. they listen, they dont accuse me of anything, but they seem doubtful. months later, i go into the common room for some reason... those same social old ladies are there, watching a movie... they are suspiciously friendly. is there something i should talk to them about?
#21. To: All (#20)
why the fuck is it that people who are incapable of doing anything but thinking are isolated?
#22. To: lead.and.lag (#21)
Thinking, the way you mean it, ain't a natural communal activity.
#23. To: randge (#22) (Edited)
well, i'm getting to the age wher i cant play baseball. or assemble an emprire, or fuck, or whatever. all i can do is sit here and wonder how badly i'v gone wong. assuming that i had a normal human family, i could pass my misteps on to whoever wias willing to listen. i'm completely sorry, randege, but maybe one of the reasons i enjoy you so much is because you[re such an idiot.
#24. To: lead.and.lag (#21)
I've got some real-time experience with nursing home situations. Staff promotes flu-shots/pharmaceuticals and the food served is not the healthiest you'd expect for the money. It has seemed that whenever a resident gets sent to a hospitaal for anything, they return to facility and die very soon after. why the fuck is it that people who are incapable of doing anything but thinking are isolated?

it's a good thig that old people are killed before they can pass their wisdom (dubious as it may be) on.
#27. To: lead.and.lag (#23)
I been told that innumerable times. I'm in fact the supreme id-iot. I yam all id.
#28. To: Dakmar (#25)
i got to assume that you're a slimeball, and you know it, dagamar. totherwise you'd be able to make comical comments about PNAC and its need for a new pearl harbor.
#29. To: Dakmar (#25)
Dayum. Dak iz back. Time fer shits & giggles.

I could go on forever about this topic...the seniors I speak with at my mother's place are mostly veterans or military wives who love the US government. They really do consider selves to be the "Greatest Generation" that defeated Hitler and saved the jews. People who work in that industry are some of the most brain-washed I've ever met. The corporate pc line has trickled down into their mind-set, or should I say mindless-set. before they can pass their wisdom (dubious as it may be) on.

"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, 'Fear not: for behold, I bring unto you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.' And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men

#33. To: CadetD (#31) (Edited)
that's why i dont talk to them. too bad the motherfucking truth seesps in, despiite their ego trips. They really do consider selves to be the "Greatest Generation" that defeated Hitler and saved the jews.
#34. To: All (#33)
meanwhile, dagmar is incapable of coming up with a witty comment about PNAC's need for a new pearl harbor. why is that?
#35. To: Dakmar (#32)
Merry Christmas, Dak!

stupid motherfuckers

Merry Christmas randge

My mother knows I'm a conspiracy researcher; one day she said that to the aide visiting her room....the sweet aide asked me about a few things specifically 9- 11 stuff. I answered sparingly, not wanting to make scene. I can tell the corporate management now knows I'm a nut by the way they speak with me. How dare I refuse flu-shots for my mother? too bad the motherfucking truth seesps in, despiite their ego trips.
#39. To: Dakmar (#37) (Edited)

Many years ago back in Krautland, I was working at a workbench making I forget what with a plane and a chisel and in a moment of impatience with the way things were working out on my project I lit out with "Motherfucker!" My supervisor asked me "What is this "motherfucker" that you say all the time?" I asked him "What do you think it means?" He thought for a moment and said "MUTTERRFICKER?" and looked at me utterly astonished that someone could take an expression like that into his mouth. The novelist Kurt Vonnegut called it that twelve letter word not used by white people before WWII.
