A word you say, or are you hinting at a couple of bottles of Fench wine I wonder.

Mind you, can't wait to see what you do with our new Dr Who actor.
an elderly person who would otherwise end up in expensive care home
so
Money is invested providing good accommodation
bedroom large
en-suite shower and bath and the disabled options
doors wide enough for wheelchair
plugs light switches reachable from wheelchair
fire, carbon monoxide etc monitoring covers the property as well
brand new clothes do not acquire a new home
’patient’ has someone who cares enough to check on their health
you can monitor the incoming medical/care staff and ask questions - at the time
a patio for fresh air,a table to have a snack whilst there and a telephone or bell where someone actually responds within a decent time.
plus when it comes to the next person old enough to need proper care your basically already established.
People often balk at taking in family as they get older less firm,but with governments now stripping assets so your inheritance has to pay eye watering bills, it is actually economical for you to have a part time or no job because you are not paying mae dropping care costs.
The MHS provided us with a hospital bed, with air mattress as he was prone to bedsores
we got aids coming out of our ears,
emergency monitoring
pill delivery
i could monitor staff who came in for wound cleaning etc
i could question a doctor as I could ensure I was there when he was there…
you can claim attendance allowance in the UK, BUT they do not tell you it is available, you need to look or ask, Old Age Concern are very good at throwing information on things you can get free.
We had shower seat, electric rising lowering bath seat, hand grips, raised toilet with handles, we could have had a hoist to get him out of bed (he died first, but they were planding on fitting it)
special plastic sheets to pull him up and down the mattress/ bed
creams, bandages, you name it we had it.
blow up balloons for sores,soft water[roof cushions for wheelchair seat,
Plus when it came time to return stuff,if you could not find it, you were not rewuired to pay for it.
either I or the other half will end up in a long term hospital bed or a care home, cheaper to pay for a carer to come in and help lift,shift,slice and dice…..
We need to be done in the summer. Technically the construction loan is due in mid May. As long as the money is sufficient we can extend for a small fee.
Once we can get the outer foam wall up most of the rest is done by others. We'll lay the flooring and put up cabinets and that sort of thing. But most of the rest is others so should go more quickly.
I have a few guys coming to help me with the outer foam once we get the garage poured. It doesn't make sense to pay people to come when we are restricted on what we can do. Until then my boy and I will be working on it.
Classic American looks close enough. In a red state classic American is a better name.
Thanks. Both my kids are pretty good. Both have their faults. My son has stepped up with this house project. He is tired of it and some days he is a little more resistant to getting started but he always gets out with me and works. Hopefully he is learning from the experience.

This is the reason we build a granny annexeGood morning everyone. 33° and while somewhat sunny, clouds are increasing. Outlook for moderating temperatures and rain this afternoon...
(How was my audition for TV weather reader?).
All this talk of apology and deleted comments has me perplexed, the coffee shop has been real bland of late...Willie did enlighten us that it was on another forum that I wasn't following.
So the secret of driving in France is to prepare yourself first by consuming two bottles of wine? Christian, MADD would like a word...
I have some early phone calls to make related to next weeks visit to the Heart Surgeon, and little else. So I'm headed to the train room, shortly.
Yo Troy, there is only on really great style of Pizza, the kind ya get in Jersey. Sadly, those shops are few and far in between. Kitchen help, was composed of young people recently immigrated from Italy. Chicago, Detroit and California style are bogus imitators. (Did look good though).
Covid has reared its ugly head at the MIL's assisted living facility. Place is off limits to visitors again...everyone living in the facility was supposedly vaccinated, including all boosters. of course, they didn't require the hired help to be equally vaccinated. The facility is blaming home visits over the Holidays for the outbreak...yeah, blame the paying customers, not your policies....does make one wonder if: 1. They really vaccinated the patients or 2. if the vaccine works.
After three months of comparison, I have concluded that even though both are liberal leaning publications, the NY Times, is fare more fair and balanced in its reporting than the Washington Post. WAPO's subscription will not be renewed. Beside, NYT sub gives free access to the "Athletic", a paywall sports blog site, (owned by the NYT).
Not much else going on right now...later.

Good Morning All. Mostly clear and 51° this morning. The high temperature today has been revised downward to just 75°, just like yesterday. Mild weather coming up, range from mid-30's in the morning to the upper-50's during the afternoon. May even have a chance of rain next week!
As I posted last night, the emergency dental visit went well yesterday, it wasn't a broken tooth but rather an 8 year old surface filling that came off. Really great that I could call my dentist's office at 8:45 am and be in his chair by 1:30 the same day. The X-ray showed another potential cavity next to it so he drilled & filled that as well. Done by 3:00 pm. He observes MLK Day by being open for teachers and federal workers, and folks like me!
Otherwise yesterday was just spent shredding brush and small tree prunings. As soon as I got home, I needed to start on supper. As I posted yesterday, Baby back ribs and lots of trimmings. Today I will roast a Prime Rib Roast that I got on sale back before Christmas. The beginning is labor intensive, but then it just roasts in the oven for two hours or so. I'll also make smashed taters and retrieve a jar of green beans that I canned. Wife is in charge of the Yorkshire Pudding, gravy and wine. Yorkshire Pudding for those who might not know, is a baked bread-like product made with flour, eggs, milk and some of the meat drippings. Very delicious when made right.
Thanks for the comments and reactions from yesterday.
I did not make it to the train shed for any length of time yesterday. So what little time that I had out there was running trains and thinking about what to do later this month. There's a train show this weekend in a northern suburb of Dallas that I haven't been to since 2019. While there are not many real deals among the vendors, the real treat for me is the home layout tour. However there are only 11 layouts this time, just four of which are open both days. That's down from 22-25 in years past. There's not a lot of overlap in their times, and they are spread out over 65 miles from Northeast Dallas to southwest Ft Worth. One is open only Saturday evening and a couple I have been to before and don't interest me. The one that I am most interested in is all of the way over in Ft Worth. Is it worth it for me to drive an hour, spend $10 to get in, walk around for an hour and get the map (usually required for admission to the home layouts), drive another hour to FW, and later drive an hour home? Decisions, decisions, decisions. Discount Model Trains is about 20 minutes from the convention center, but it's half empty as they pack up and haul all of the good stuff to the show.
I'm skipping the pictures today as I need to get some stuff done, and there are no new ones today.
Jeff - You should be in the clear for the next six months!
Curt -That electric building was a complete mess when I purchased it. I disassembled the entire thing and put in new glass and swapped the walls around so they made better sense.
Joe - I have been guilty of forgetting to hit the reply button more than once. It does appear that Dallas overcame their Tom Brady jinx, despite the kicker not showing up.
Everybody have a great day.

What is Detroit style pizza?
www.seriouseats.com
Quoting from the piece above:
When did Detroit pizza become a thing? I mean, I know that rectangular pan pizzas have been served in the Motor City since at least 1946, when, according to Pure Michigan, bar owner Gus Guerra and his wife, Anna, decided to throw a batch of her mother's Sicilian dough into a blue steel pan, originally used to carry auto parts, and bake it with cheese and sauce. The pizza emerged with a blackened, lacy, crispy cheese crust all the way around the edges, and a new pizza style was born. Buddy's, the restaurant opened by the Guerras, has been serving it ever since.
... The crust comes out crisp and golden on the bottom, with a lightly fried texture that it gets from sizzling in the rendered fat that drips down from the cheese. Next, we move on to the crumb, which is chewy, with a medium-fine bubble structure. Not so rustic as, say, a focaccia, but not quite as soft and fluffy as a New York–style Sicilian slice.
Above that is where things get a little topsy-turvy. Instead of using the "sauce, cheese, toppings" order of a typical pizza, Detroit pizzas are built in reverse. Creamy, tangy Brick cheese from Wisconsin is cubed and applied directly to the top of the dough, where it bakes up gooey, buttery, and thick in the middle, crispy and dark brown around the edges. On top of the cheese is a sweet, thick tomato sauce, seasoned with plenty of garlic and spices and often applied in heavy parallel bands. If you order the pizza with pepperoni (the most common topping), depending on where you are, you might find it cupped and crisp on top of the sauce, or, occasionally, buried underneath the cheese, where its flavor seeps in and penetrates every bite.* It's crispy, fatty, cheesy, tangy, and glorious, especially those coveted corner pieces that give you that extra crunch.
Detroit-Style Pan Pizza Recipe
Detroit-style pizza is its own thing: topped with brick cheese, pepperoni, and red sauce, and a lacy, crispy cheese crust all the way around the edges. Here's how to make it.
