There were things you could do to simulate being elderly, like putting popcorn kernels in your shoes to simulate something or other, putting cotton in your ears to simulate how they hear, and all sorts of other things, find the video, perhaps if you saw it, you'd have a bit more compassion. I'm around old folks all the time and I certainly learned a lot from it, sounds like it would do you a world of good to see it too!! It really puts it all in a different light indeed!!My adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218693077058627643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249087072631679631.post-51607923713811570222008-10-27T00:26:00.000-06:002008-10-27T00:26:00.000-06:00I can visit my parents (and Dawie's for that matte...I can visit my parents (and Dawie's for that matter) in short bursts.

When I'm in Florida taking care of Mama for some reason it's usually bearable. Believe it or not, though, it's more difficult to be with her when she's feeling good and I'm there for a friendly visit rather than a care-taking mission. <BR/><BR/>I hope you survive, sanity intact. When do you get to go back home to the peace and quiet?Javahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17377033663576614925noreply@blogger.com
