Oh, man I go through this every night with the residents. Lost a girl friend to cancer on the brain, breast cancer and then her heart attack. I remember when my wife had to wear the adult diapers. Of course, at the nursing home we refer to them as briefs. I lose track of how many have died at the nursing home. So far I have not became indifferent to the deaths. I am glad you are making her quality of life better for her.
Yeah, meeting the people and the different cultures is something. I was listening to the radio a while back about Fats Domino in a rare interview said that he wouldn't go back to New Orleans because of the way he was treated. The program was on the diversity of New Orleans. The French Quarter changed because of the Jazz and artists that were there. Many artists found it a retreat and could only use their creative talents there because of their love for the place. The French Quarter is like this place unto itself.
Wow, what an interesting experience, Solitaire. I bet you had a good write for, "What I did on my summer vacation" kind of. I bet your memoirs would be interesting to read.
I stil want the cactus flower which I have not gotten CS to offer, yet. Just kidding. I have always tried to return flowers to acknowledge that I got one. With emails sometimes I keep returning them cause I like getting the last word in but had to watch that, too. I figure if someone goes to the trouble of sending me one I want to atleast thank them and offer a reply back to email.
I picked up a hitch hiker, today. He was enroute to a far distant place. Had his backpack on and found out his sister works where I do. We had a great talk about her, lol.
Oh, what a mouthful. I have had to do that. I have had to learn to be comfortable within my own skin. I have had to learn how to keep house; Keep now two dogs alive and not get so lonely and isolated that I could just scream. I don't want to kill any of my neighbors' relatives or coworkers, today. From the last job of being on friends' exceptional list in case we just went balastic and come in with AK47 and waste everyone to being able to cope with others around me with a live and live attitude.
I now pronounce myself man and wife. I may now kiss myself. I wonder which one of me gets to carry me across the threshold. Geez, I can't wait till the honeymoon.
I have had that experience in learning. I have had good teachers who have taught me stuff despite my rebellious attitude. I was thinking at the time that there was no way that I could get what they were trying to teach me. Especially in long division with math. I used to hate math. This teacher showed me where I made the mistake in my figuring and it was like oh I get it. I have tried to take short cuts with things like that in life and just had to take some things in baby steps.
