Where in the World is Bob Saget?

[Nemo14]

Success! Thanks Sageteers!

Ok who left the basement/cage door open? Why is Busey in a strip club?!

Good grief. That's enough to make billy goat puke...

BTW, that reminds me...
When was the last time anyone saw the goat...?

 

[donaldtoo]

and one has a lot of breweries...

Brewery...?!?!?!

As "Squirrel" is to Dug, "Beer" is to me.
And, "Brewery" is a close second.

and one has a lot of breweries...

And I hear a group of brewers are actually going to win the World Series! From simple drunkenness to famously drunken!

 

[donaldtoo]

My office is still waiting on the pizzas we ordered.

Oh my. Just more Sagateer same person evidence.
We had an office site visit scheduled for today that I did not attend due to my deadlines (and, possibly, posting here a bit ).
Anyway, pizza is always provided by the company for those...8 pies were an hour and a half late...and free...!!!!!

Boy Meets World was my favorite show growing up. And yes, I have all 7 seasons on DVD. And yes, I plan to watch the series premiere of Girl Meets World tomorrow because I am that awesome.

Yes you are!
You know, because you hang out with us. And we are awesome.

 

[PUSH]

Yes you are!
You know, because you hang out with us. And we are awesome.

But if one of us is awesome, doesn't that make all of us awesome?

(The word you don't like), sometimes being the same person is tough work!

I still like that song.
Sadly, I think @StarWarsGirl95 and I are the only two.

If truth be known, I've never actually (I don't ever remember posting otherwise?) disliked the song.
And, of course, since it was the song oldest DD chose for her wedding bouquet toss (I posted the video), It has actually taken on a very special meaning to me.
Such incredibly happy memories.

 

[Gabe1]

No problem.
So very glad today has been a much better day.
He's doing what he needs be doing and you're good with that. Y'all make a great team.
Hope y'all get to spend a little peaceful celebration time together this weekend.

Yep, me too, we shall see how this all plays out. He did remember though and brought home a beautiful arm load of flowers.

But for those keeping score my DH and the brother he gets along with better sat the MIL down today to discuss yesterday. Wasn't grasping the gravity of what everyone went through yesterday, likely because nobody told her but DH looked her in the face and said do you realize the police in 3 states were looking for you for a half a day??? You scared the F--- out of everyone. (my DH doesn't talk like, dramatic effect.) She turned to Brother and said I thought for sure he was going to say S---! And he wrapped it up with they could no longer allow her to drive. She took it well. A while later she spoke of how dirty her car was and needed to be washed. DH said I'll do that. Indigently she replied she is capable of taking her own car to be washed. When she left the room DH rifled through the her purse and took her keys. With the Grace of God this chapter should be over.

I'm glad the radio station I am forced to listed to in the waiting room of my daughter's dr's office has the decency to recognize that when playing "double shot Thursday" a Van Hagar song needs to be followed up with another Van Hagar song and cannot be followed by Van Halen with David Lee Roth. Two completely different bands, in my opinion. I enjoy both. But they are not the same band.

I love that scene!!

Golden teeth and golden tones, welcome to my presence.

I am so fortunate, and thank the Lord every single day, that my folks are still as lucid and healthy as can be, at 81 and 76.
Y'all are obviously doing everything y'all can to monitor her situation and take care of here in a very loving and respectful way. The elderly deserve that.
Again, many prayers.

I love that scene!!

Yep, LOVE that whole silly flick, and that scene is one of my faves, too...!

I love this theme. My wife and I just went and saw the second Muppets movie last weekend for our anniversary!

One of the funny things about watching your parents, is that your eyes are seeing things that disturb you because you have put those people at a level above that. (Generic use of the word 'you') From what you describe she is a long way away from real problems. What she did might have been just a test to see if she could still do what she did when she was younger and had nothing to do with incompetence. I doubt she will ever try that particular test again, but, she will still be driving locally as long as she can. I'd bet on it!

I am 66 and by comparison am quite young. That said, if my kids were to decide that I was no longer competent because I forget things occasionally or with my leg issue, can no longer run fast or jump high, I would be pretty upset.

Spoiler

Who am I kidding, I can no longer run or jump at all.

I have already stated that if I were them, I wouldn't want to be the one that tells me that I can no longer drive. That is the only freedom my age still affords me. Take that away and frankly, why would I want to go on. I am staunchly independent. It is my life force. Without that I have no reason to hang around. Aging is not pretty, either for those watching it and for those going through it. I worry about my health but at the same time have no desire to spend the last, long years of my life sitting in a chair drooling on myself. I, honestly, would rather die.

I can't explain why she wants to be in an assisted living situation, but, there could be a number of reasons from no longer having the energy to cook and clean or desire to pay taxes and upkeep of a home or even the simple thought that she might be lonely and sees that as a way of having people around her. Connected with that is the thought of dying alone and no one being aware of it for extended periods of time. It happens very often.

If what you say is true, that you don't like to see the elderly mistreated, remember that taking away their adulthood and replacing it with old age childhood, is something that many, myself included, actually shiver to think about. It is a very thin line to walk, but, it is important to recognize their right to grow old with dignity and grace whenever possible.

Well you nailed somethings correctly, but I am more removed from drama as this is not my Mom but his. I think she is lonely but she does see her children every week which is not the case in some families. She was a very involved woman and had a professional career. She was almost relieved when her DH passed, he was ill the last few years and his care giver. I adored my FIL but he in the end wasn't always sweet to her and she worked her tushie off. She was able to come and go after he passed and was enjoying life. The assisted living center she has chosen she will have her own apartment, they cook 2 of 3 meals a day, something she doesn't get around to doing anymore. She can't eat meds on an empty stomach, so then she doesn't take meds, a vicious circle. I think she is choosing assisted living over living with either of my two SILs. In this place she can take all her furniture, piano, birds and still has a bedroom, dining area and a small kitchen. It is in the same town she lives so they will take her where she wishes to go. I can see why she picked this. As her memory starts to fail (who knows the rate) she is now making the choice of where she wants to be vs someone else making it for her. Plus the place has all sorts of activities that she says she would like to participate in again. The place is near my two BILs, one lives 4 minutes away. My DH is usually at his Mom's 2x a week and the same with the one of the brothers. I don't see that changing just because of where she lives. She hasn't been in the condo long so she isn't overly attached, she was in a suburb for 20 years but what they called home they sold long long ago. The condo was chosen because of my FIL falling and my one BIL being able to get there quickly and he or his son was.

The car thing is now done but I am pretty sure isn't over, not really sunk in. But my DH has had all he handle in the last two days...but the drama is likely coming I pretty sure. I have dealt with the car thing with my Mom, she is much younger but was loosing her sight from diabetes. She had 2 surgeries over the last year and receives shots in the eye and regained the use of her car. She is grateful everyday for the newer procedures.

When I was pregnant with my first kid, being a maritime surveyor I was grounded by my boss. I was very unhappy. I went 6 months before I told them I was pregnant the second time, I made it till my 7th month that time before I was grounded. I really understand the plights.

By the way everyone I am loving this weeks theme. Muppets rock.

With @Nemo14's move into 5th place on the Like Board, the Sageteers now have the majority in not only the top 3, but the top 5! It's only a matter of time until one of us takes 1st place!

The rise of the Sageteers is happening. The forums are turning to the Age of Sageteers, which will bring prosperity, Saget, and rhubarb to the land*.

*Each member will also be given a tax that will benefit PUSH's bank account the people.

Anyone else think The Rise of the Sageteers would make one heck of a movie?
