A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?

Thanks Glad, for the millenials song.
What about STIGMA against the mentally ill?
Mums friend is really very hard of hearing, Mum has dementia and her speech is quite soft now (unfortunately that doe not follow through to her harsh comments but hey ho)
So overheard conversation
Started with Mum saying
Its about time you sold that house and got a flat - you can't manage it now
I don’t want to move from my house …go on say something
Well the Queen doesn’t use a stick yet
She pretty though lovely skin
Yes but she’s had the best of it all her life
Well not all her life she’s a commoner
Is she but Charles wife isn’t is she
Who Kate oh she’s lovely
And their baby is cute
Which one
Eugene
And as for Eileen well she has had a stroke
Well she wont be on duty much now then - who’s Eileen
Now when I had taken said friend home Mum said to me I like having Freda here (friend is not called Freda!) She and I have so much in common and she understands me. Its a shame she doesn't live nearer - perhaps she could live with us!
Oh and perhaps I could kill myself now!!!!!! I did say I thought caring for one person was enough to which I got the reply that I was selfish. Well I don't care .......I am a selfish caregiver!
BTW they are right, the queen 'is' remarkable for her age, isn't she?
So funny-maybe the friend, whatever her name is, would bring along her own caregiver, live next door?
Are you recording the conversations for your caregiving book?
Cwillie, Should I be worried? The conversation made perfect sense to me.
Who is Eileen, inquiring minds want to know!!! I hope she recovers from her stroke.
Still, Dame Eileen, who dreamt up the idea for the original series of Upstairs, Downstairs with her friend Jean Marsh, says: “When I first heard that they were reviving it, I thought, 'well, that’s my pension sorted out.’”
Mum--
It was not Dame Eileen who had the stroke, it was her friend, Jean Marsh, at age 78, who had the stroke.
Long time ago.
I'm 54 as well.

You're shattered
Like you've never been before
The life you knew
In a thousand pieces on the floor
And words fall short in times like these
When this world drives you to your knees
You think you're never gonna get back
To the you that used to be
Tell your heart to beat again
Close your eyes and breathe it in
Let the shadows fall away
Step into the light of grace
Yesterday's a closing door
You don't live there anymore
Say goodbye to where you've been
And tell your heart to beat again
Beginning
Just let that word wash over you
It's alright now
Love's healing hands have pulled you through
So get back up, take step one
Leave the darkness, feel the sun
Cause your story's far from over
And your journey's just begun
Tell your heart to beat again
Close your eyes and breathe it in
Let the shadows fall away
Step into the light of grace
Yesterday's a closing door
You don't live there anymore
Say goodbye to where you've been
And tell your heart to beat again
Let every heartbreak
And every scar
Be a picture that reminds you
Who has carried you this far
'Cause love sees farther than you ever could
In this moment heaven's working
Everything for your good
Tell your heart to beat again
Close your eyes and breathe it in
Let the shadows fall away
Step into the light of grace
Yesterday's a closing door
You don't live there anymore
Say goodbye to where you've been
And tell your heart to beat again
Your heart to beat again
Beat again
Oh, so tell your heart to beat again
Sendme, I looked up that song yesterday, very nice :)
It is his hair, but it looks RIDICULOUS.
Having the best of the best, he must change the birds nest he
has on top of his head! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Uuuggghhhhh! M88
Who would respect a character that cannot even comb his hair?
What about matters of State and World Affairs?
Sigh!
