Not off limits at all. The plan is that we do this for as long as we can. My younger sister is a nurse with a lot of experience, and her plan is that she will pretty much take the reins when it gets too difficult. We know that this condition will only get worse, and uglier in a lot of ways, but she can handle it. She was a great help to my mom when my dad was dying, and she's given me a lot of good advice. It might be that Mom's final days will be in a home, but we hope to put that off as long as possible anyway.
Nemo, some years ago, my sister went through something similar with our mother (she lived at my mother's house). Down the road, you (and the nurse you mentioned) will know when home care will not be sufficient. At that point, it's best for all involved that the mother moves on to a nursing home.
Caring for someone in your mother's present state of mind can, at times, be exhausting. I'm not sure if your area offers any daycare programs for the elderly with memory loss. My sister would take my mother there twice a week, to give my sister a break and allow her to go out and get her errands done, or go see a movie. Taking breaks really helped.

We realize that, and it's not totally out of the question, but in the meantime we'll do whatever it takes to keep her content. We do have a daycare program here in our town, but I think that would only set her off. If a drive in the car triggers her time-warping, being left in a room full of strangers would just really tip the scales. But thanks for the suggestion.
Me too, clean up never fun. I use to hate when my in-laws would drag out all the China and Crystal for holidays. My MIL was the worst as she would use I swear every pot, pan, serving dish, serving spoon and the daughter in-laws purpose in life (she had 3 sons) would be to clean up for over an hour. I hated, hated that.
As I said I got a new Bosch dishwasher that supposedly will was pots well. I can't wait to find out. My problem still is trying to figure this appliance out. I had a Kitchenaid for 2+ decades, push two buttons and off it went to do its job.
This one will be fine when I comprehend the instructions. It is digital and there is an order, many choices for rinse, shine, washing, power on, starting.
It is terrible feeling being that inept, can't figure out how to turn on a freak'n dishwasher.
Well I got up this early to walk the Pup and plant before it is too warm again, guess I should actually do that.
Pup crawled in bed with me, I have coffee and it is so peaceful and quiet here, don't want it to end. Oh well.
Nothing stops him from making YET another account.
I still find hilarious how he pompously named his leave.. just to return 5 minutes later.
then now with another account.
Meg is a wonderful head of TDO and I stand behind her 100%. Sharknado is terrible. Rhubarb is disgusting. And Bob Saget is an awful comedian who starred in an overrated 90s sitcom.
In other news, I'm facepalming again.. the thread of wdw1974 for rumours and leaks is again being overtaken by childish posters and their personal fights about who has the bigger what... derailing the discussion for the 95th time.
Its kinda sad.
Worse when this guy comes from nowhere and tells me to "leave".
I never understand why some people cant stay on topic, they could just use the other threads for the branched discussions.
But no...It's like they MUST share their opinion and throw it on everyone's face, just because.. :|
I agree with the "troll" factor, but, what I don't agree with is that there is anything even close to topic on the Great and Wonderful Spirits, threads. In one post he can put out for consumption twenty different topics. Some have content, some are just dribble. I don't for a minute doubt that Spirit has connections, but most of the stuff he puts up there are Hollywood gossip garbage. Example... one of this weekends was that General Hospital had the best script writing. What? Who cares? And what does that have to do with Disney Rumors, News or anything else other then a personal opinion.
I have maintained, in many of his threads, when people complain about going off topic, that it would really be nice if there was a topic. There isn't, there are hundreds and to say that when someone slightly alters the just of a topic either in defense of it or to disagree with it, it is not going off topic and says that someone else's opinion is not welcome because we have all gathered to worship at the house of spirit, and no alteration is allowed. The motto is agree or leave. It is much easier then coming up with a counter that proves the alleged "evil" poster is wrong.
There is a topic here. It may not be the one that started it because I think we have all stopped caring about where Bob Saget is anymore, but there usually are topics that come up, one at a time and are discussed until the energy runs out and then, like magic, another topic seems to appear. That my friends is a discussion board.
Long story short, the LeP poster from the awards thread tagged me in the spirit thread so I went there and whatever he tagged me with was gone but he was tearing Spirit a new one post after post. So Cesar asked to please stop and get back on topic which caused LeP to be more rude to him, then Raven24 tried to help and he was a snot to her. At some point he told Cesar if he didn't like it Cesar should leave. (And I'm supposedly the rude one. ) Anyways, after probably the sixth post of pure hatred on spirit, Lee said LeP knew a lot for being a 2 week member and the response was "I've been a driving force in the forums..." So I asked if he was JT, Frenzy made a post about having double accounts then POOF! All his posts were gone. He also tagged Goofyernmost into it but I think that was a positive comment. Anyway, today's another day.
Finally, someone with the ability to "get it" and say what all of us have been thinking for a long time.

Not sure why you felt the need to quote me, but my comment was made to @Cesar R M as a "Please don't leave the forum, dude." not a testament to if there is or isn't a topic in the Saget thraed. (That was on Nemo's practice test. Did you skip that question?) Of course there are topics, Meg, rhubarb, Sharknado, goats, Canadians, toilet seats, cats, trash cans, beer runs, PUSH's jokes, dug's daily pictures, trrl1's daily specials, etc, etc, etc. And BMs. Lots of BMs.
Like Spirit or not, he breathes the same air we do, unless faux 1% have special air. Enough about all that. Can we get back on topicS.

So I assume he's banned now - can't access his profile anyway? That Thick was quite a troll, although I did find some of his posts in the past to be pretty funny. Too bad, but adios JT!
2:30 to 4. When I finally put my phone away I thought "I was up later then Jennifer!" If I wasn't brought into it, I would have been sleeping and reading Cesar's account this morning.

Well that's a bit of a relief. I thought JT referred to jt04.
The activities you described didn't really sound like him.
Now, Jimmy Thick ... that's another matter.
