Dementia is horrible for them....and for us. My grandma was in a local "care facility" I visited regularly and ... it's scary ! We tried home care and couldn't do it. She was 100 years old when she passed. My dad is 93 and is starting to worry about dementia. He has/had a 180+ IQ so the loosin' it scenario scares him.
My grandmother was one of the most intelligent people I knew. Started a business from nothing and it lasted 30 years. My family made it so she could stay home and her and my grandpa managed money well so we were able to keep her home with the help of caretakers. She passed at home. Though at the start it was awful. She was be terrified constantly hiding from imagined things out to get her. It was really hard being there trying to keep things okay.
 

Oh for me it was an incredible struggle I wanted to chicken out so badly I was terrified
Ahhhhhh.....But you didn't! My daughter was bullied in high school... I got envolved... She was expelled permanently. She asked a few months later.... WTF do I do?
Now she is an MMA fighter, carries a 9mm, and takes no prisoners!!!! Her main problem was ... I cant fight or yell because it hurts their feeling, we are in Oregon....
I explained self defense is different, if they swing first ... well...
Now she can punch a 6' 5" 270 pound a hole (me) without hesitation!
She also has a fear of getting sick. We are working on that one....:BangHead:
:laughing7:

I understand that all to well neighbor being I'm in California we tainted your state and Washington. I got bullied all the time because I kept to myself and was awkward and short back in the day. My young years I'm not fond of.

Lol I just was never that brave nor felt the want to be violent. So I dealt with a lot of crap unfortunately. Till I got tired of it later in life and kept myself fit.

Respect is a 2 way street. Here small town 6600 things are pretty mellow, as it should be.
And fit is good!

Can I vent? It is a pet peave of mine when I help somebody solve a mystery to a "what is it" post, and they do not acknowledge, say thank you, or say anything. I do not want a medal, but sometimes it takes time to solve these mysteries so a little appreciation would be nice. The most recent took 15 minutes of my time and no word of thanks. I am done helping solve new folks mysteries unless I see some evidence they appreciate your efforts. I am done rambling. Sorry but you are my ship mates so no one else here to vent to. What ever happened to simple common courtesy.
Welcome to my world.
