To further prove my point, when one of Jr.'s friends set up new 'icons' on my computer, he labeled two of them (wait for it):
- not this one
- this one

Teens are Enablers...
They don't mean to be, but it's like this:
Teen: "Damn it! I told you I'm done cleaning up your mess!"
Me: "I knowwww. Come on! Just this once?? For me? Pleeeze?!?!!"
Then they help you with your computer..... all's good.

Of XM Radio Comedy Channels...
Sorry haven't been as 'attentive' to you, my followers. I've had a few weeks of 'elderly relatives' issues.
So. Now to the funny.
After hours of 'dementia,' I decide that, rather than listen to music, some humor was in order. I then go to the XM Comedy channels, which, I think we can agree, are 'guy channels.'
Every other commercial is either for male 'issues,' or how to reduce your 'IRS/personal/medical debt.' I find this funny because...you know how we women say we like a guy with a sense of humor?
Maybe we should re-think that.

Geriatric Assessment Humor
I know. There's little laughs going around when you have to take an elderly family member in for an assessment. But, if you can't find some sliver of humor in the process, you'll go nuts.
So. I take Sr.'s Mom in after she left the hospital to get her car and, instead of driving back to admitting to pick up her daughter from out-patient surgery...drove the 30 minutes home.
The social worker asks her "So, have you been confused when driving?" "No," she answers. I say "Uh, what about Tuesday when you left your daughter at the hospital?"
Her answer? "But I had no trouble getting home!"

Dementia Sucks
All us friends' parents are over 80, and many have dementia; it sucks.
It seems to either come on you slowly, or it's like falling off a cliff. Sr.'s Mom falls in the latter category. Walked to her car to pick up her daughter from same-day surgery ...and just kept driving. Made it all the way home. Thought one of her sons (both out of state) was to pick the daughter up.
Writing this, I have no answer. I have no advice, no solace. Just hope.
