I actually had to walk thru an Alzheimer's unit for work a few months ago and an old lady came up to me and repeatedly told me she "did not take that money" and how "they came and took my things, but I didn't take that money."  Obviously I had no clue what she was talking about.  Then when we were measuring the outside, I see her looking at us thru a window.  We walked around to the otherside of the wing and she kept following us and staring with empty but curious eyes.  Kind of creepy...like the beginning to a Stephen King story.

I don't mean to make light of it.  It is a devastating disease.  It hurts the family mostly although you're not sure what thoughts may exist with the patient.

But, sometimes I get in a mood....and, then...well, I didn't take the damn money either....and there I go...off into irreverence.....sorry!!!!! :yes: :no: :razz: :rolleyes: :confused:

Sorry folks, the coffee brewer's been misplaced.  If anyone finds it, please return it to the kitchen...where ever that is.

Fires can be dangerous around here.  The reason is eluding me at the moment.  But the V's will bring us home and keep us warm, or whatever I was just talking about.
