Good afternoon Guys,
It's another fairly warm day in Heatsville which I just love of course like stepping on tack or a bee sting.
So Flo & Francine, those are the two ladies Bill Tidler used to post, at least that's what I named them, Flo's the Blond to me and Francine is the Black-haired fox!
Hello Ladies, how are you both today? I see the new place is taking shape quite nicely, your both fast workers. Oh, Rex and Jeffery have been helping have they, interesting!
I'd like the Pot Roast plate and some cold Soda and a piece of Mince-meat Pie for desert if you would. Oh, no Mince-Meat? How about Rhubarb then, that you have, great!
Not too much going on out this was other than keeping track of what's anticipated in the near future with the Nations security? Which is certainly questionable.
I'd really like to get back to working on the my layout and finish taking some pictures of the curved turnouts I started to build some time ago and never finished so hopefully that will happen soon?
Other than posting some hopefully helpful hints to another modeler not too much has been happening on the forum here.
I did inquire with Jeffrey about the DPM building and it's lit interior which I thought was unique and I guess he printed it out on some card stock, it looks very nice. As Mike pointed out it's a, '2 bit' Barber shop. I was think it was more like a Merchantile type of interior. I have to look on the web and see what's abailable?
Say Ken,
Gonna be a long week for me. Vicky [MOH] just flew down to Alabama today to visit with her 92yr-old mother who's in the hospital. She's been in and out of hospitals and nursing homes for the past two weeks since she fell face-forward and sustained a serious bruise on her forehead. The poor woman's life is hanging literally by a thread, her body slowly wasting away from the inside out. Vicky thought if she went down there to see her she might cheer up and recover. I didn't have the heart to say to her, there's not likely to be any "recovery" from being 92. But this may be the final chance she has to see her mom, so she made the right decision [going to AL].
I too am sorry to hear about Vicky's Mom, hopefully she will be able to come home but those places sorry to say seem more like do more harm than good and I know in the case of my Mom they did things that caused her injury, two times, and when I asked for a copy of the 'Incident Report' which any concerned family member is supposed to be able to obtain, just by asking, they couldn't seem find anyone that knew what happened! In writing that I just realized that statment on their part actually incriminates them as it means the patient wasn't being cared for properly as well as the appropriate notes of the incidents were not made or are too detrimental to them to allow to come forth! Either way just that alone shows willful negligence on their part!
Unfortunate they caused my poor Mother to die do to their lack proper care. I know she had to go some time but they were most certainly guilty of Elder Abuse in several areas and her bad teath were on of them and I mad them aware of her dental needs on numerous occasions and they just sluffed it off as it wasn't causing them any pain! [***] [*****]
It was the right thing for Vicky to do to go and see her Mom as it may be the last time she see's her alive. I was very fortunate to be able to go to the hospital my Mom was taken to and she and I were able to communicate a bit when I told her she was a real sick girl and that I loved her and knew she loved me and she nodded her head in acknowledgment and then slipped into unconscious state never again to wake up. The doctor said she was very bad of as her Left Lung was completely collapsed and the Right lung was partially collapsed along with renal failure and an infectious disease in her her blood stream and that possibly kidney dialysis might help but I figured my poor Mom had suffered more than enough and it was time to let her go to be with Dad. I don't mind saying I'm getting quite broke up recounting the situation but such is life and death it seems. lt's just that more respect is due to the elderly than was given to my poor Mom and theie actions & in-actions were uncalled for.
Sorry for my Rant.
