No Vested Interest
No Vested Interest's JournalCall to work is good; so is much on History channel.
I'm a big fan of C-SPAN, especially their first ladies series, just winding up.
Is there any way you could use a hair dryer, without
electrocuting yourself, of course?
Presidents' Day! How are you celebrating (or spending) the day?
So far, not much action from me.
Sleeping late, as usual.
On my schedule - grocery shopping, and, if I'm really organized, an oil change for my car.
Hope there's something interesting on the tube tonight, including the Winter Olympics.
IS it possible that the pastor is putting a little pressure
on the husband to bring his wife along?
In the RC Church, it is not unusual for a husband or wife to attend Mass alone.
The other spouse may be of a different religion, or no religion, or could be tending to a young child or children, or may be ill.
There's no reason to make any judgment regarding why a spouse is not attending with his/her mate.
I agree with you, Justin.
No adult should be made to feel compelled to go to church.
It is a choice.
I happen to enjoy being there, but I understand church-going is not for everybody.
Gosh! Keep very good track of all medical expenses, including ambulette.
They are taxable when they exceed a percentage of your annual income.
It used to be 7.5%; I believe it has gone up to a higher percentage in the last year or two.
Because my spouse was in nursing care, the expenses for the year were very great, and brought our tax liability down considerably.
I am by nature a peaceful, non-confrontational person.
That's why Full Ignore can be so satisfying at times.
Beacool, you must realize that we have on DU a few who dwell on the same
themes again and again.
I'm weary of explaining " Vatican = Museum" to those who will not listen.
It's their shtick.
We know who they are and that they show up regularly.
Just move on and have a good day (or night, as the case may be).
It's not worth bothering one's head about.
I'm familiar with Hoyer sling and ambulette service, so can relate to your situation.
I've often said we learn much more about medical terminology than we ever wanted to know, when health problems beset us or a loved one.
My spouse was in nursing care for six years before passing; we hoped to have him come home permanently during the first two years, then gradually came to realize it wasn't going to be. And I know, like you, that even a fine nursing facility is not perfect.
So I can also appreciate how precious it is to you to have him back at home.
Is there any chance you can work an agreement with an ambulette service, since you will be using them so regularly?
