Been working really hard to get Mom off eating just cookies and candy. Since she has been eating more regular meals she has gotten up earlier and much more active during the day. All the up time keeping tabs and making sure she has a good meal has cost me though. The foot has kinda stopped getting better.

Yesterday I did walk in to find she had fixed herself a bowl of "cereal." It was a cereal bowl all right, and it did have a spoon in it. BUT...it was full of Reese's Pieces and Hershey's Kisses.

I'm buggered, Night all. Have a good day. Hooroo.

you have got to chuckle at that, good try!! But it does sound like something a child would do, but I suppose that's the problem with Alzheimers. That's us eventually.

My MIL is 92. If she had the choice, she would only eat sweets or sweet pastries. She's in a nursing home and they try to feed her well.

Is it just me or does my friend look kinda like C3PO?

Good Morning folks.

It is Monday, on the first work day of daylight savings time.

The part I ate the most is driving to work in the dark again. It will be nice in the evenings. Now I will have time to wash my car after I get home and get the routine of feed the dogs, feed myself and the other honey doos done.

I think its weird how people call things "cursing" when it isn't even a curse!

Cursing is telling some one "May your toes turn into worms and fall off!", or "May your shoes always squeak in a way that sounds like a Justin Beiber recording."

Then people call things swearing that isn't. Swearing would be something like "By Mary".(I think bloody actually is a contraction for a swear, but I no longer remember the meaning).

Then there is vulgarity, which is what a lot of people use the above words to refer to. Vulgarities are typically German/Saxon words with Norman counterparts that mean the same thing. It wasn't befitting of a noble of the new ruling class(Norman conquerors) to use the words of the old ones(Saxon). So its ok to say crap(norman), refering to excrement, but its vulgar to use 5hit(Germanic). A German word for thrusting is vulgar, but the Norman word screw isn't. So you can say that you screwed something up, but its improper to use the Germanic of F'ing something up even though they both mean the same thing.

Then there is profanity, which again, I hear misused to refer to vulgarity, although depending on some words, you can have things that are both profanity and vulgarity. Profanity is using things that people may consider sacred in a common usage. A profanity that makes me want to comment when some one around me says it, is when people who are used to using the word hell as a common adjective will say "cold as hell" without realizing how stupid they just sounded.... I soooo wannt comment "Musta not been that cold...."

annnnd, I'm not used to being up when people are saying g'night in this thread, I guess I'm stuck on the old time and not in bed yet...

One of the ladies I worked with several years ago was a prude when it came to almost any profanity. She would get upset when she heard the occasional string of cussing from the production area. Even when a processor had just broken down and we had a big expensive mess and the cussing was justified. ;)

The funny thing is this lady would use the word heck as in "hot as heck" but she would never say hell. One day I put the dictionary on her desk with one page copied. The one page I highlighted the definition of heck. That pissed her off. :D

Morning all. Off to go play nice with the computers at work.

Bahahahaha. How many times did she still say it after that?

In Dilbert, they had Phil, the prince of insufficient light who could darn people to heck.

A guy I used to work with, I suppose technically my superior, that thought he was smarter than everyone gave me hell about using the word 'hijack' in reference to a car all in front of a bunch of coworkers at lunch. He insisted hijack could only be used in reference to a plane...I copy/pasted the definition and emailed it to all of them.

One of my life goals is to successfully emulate Dilbert's pointy haired boss. :cool:
