I aint doing it. My dad is about to turn 90 and mom is 87. Both have a good many age related health issues. My oldest brother and I are retired so along with one of our SIL's we get them to all of their appointments. which is quite an ordeal but oh well. We take turns cooking for them except for the weeks My SIL has her chemo treatment and my oldest brothers wife has hers, then I take care of everything for them and cook for the others. It will wear you out but that is what I am supposed to do. I am blessed with a great retirement and am able to do so.

Having worked may deaths of elderly folks in these so called Nursing homes, many were from absolute neglect by the staff, I will die before I allow either of my parents go into one of these facilities!!

The most egregious case was an elderly paraplegic woman, way late in the laten stage of dementia. She had a trach tube and during the autopsy the Autopsy lab Pathologist determined that her trach tube had been neglected to the point it had calcified and the breathing opening was 100 percent blocked due to the calcification. So this precious, helpless widow women suffocated. It was ruled a homicide due to neglect. I still to this day can not bring myself to understand why the State Prosecutor nor the AG Office Special Investigative unit did not prosecute any of the staff who lied on the charts for saying, in writing and then initialing that they had cleaned that trach tube. Every single one of them should have been prosecuted.

the family, if you can call them that, did of course sue the owners. It was settled before trial. Yet no individual was ever held accountable. LufkinTrapper would be the only person on here that would know which facility this was because they were constantly being shut down and then sold, only to open again under another name.

For these reasons, I can not in any form of good conscious allow either of my parents or brothers to be a victim in one of these places.

what are yalls opinions on such facilities where you live and your experiences.

Thank you for any input and advice

I had the Grok AI (www.grok.com) look at the picture of the ballad you shared and it gave me the information. It looked at 60 different sources that mentioned it and compiled the answer.

I pulled up your family tree on Family Search (www.familysearch.org), by searching your 3rd great grandfather Malcolm McLeod and followed him down to Ira. Is Ira your grandfather? All your ancestors I looked at are related to me through both of their parents, but not very closely. I also have McLeods in my pedigree, but very far back.

Family Search has literally copies of trillions of original documents, some that are thousands of years old. It is an extremely useful genealogy resource. In many cases, allow of the work has been done of putting the pedigrees together. Many people, even from hundreds of years ago, have dozens of documents on them, often including birth, baptism, marriage, death, military service, draft, tax payments, land purchases, count cases, contracts, sells receipts, journals, ship manifests, inheritance and wills.

Yahoo is the absolute worst IMO. Even though I use it for email I still scream at it every day.
I would highly recommend Protonmail.com.
I have an alternate account there and it never seems to give me any issues.

Strangely, I get the notice almost every year.

I got it 2x last year.

Got selected and was on a jury in Dec.

Those that either don't want to be on it or know you won't be picked can just call the County Clerk or write it on the initial form. It's not a big deal that you are a cop or too cool for jury duty. You can just tell them you can' miss work or you have a baby at home. They don't care, as long as you respond.

Hill topper that is cheating. this is a perch post and you are making me droll. we now have nice ice BUT covered by a foot of snow. AND that will turn to slush - yukie......jk

I get a kick out of the jargon of the day. "Fingers that would not perform their offices". "Banyans suffered".

Good stuff K. Had to get a heavy shirt on to read the whole thing without getting frostbite metaphorically myself.

Based on what im seeing they just go right around the bridge i set one night coon hunting and watches a mink hunt a pool of water at a bridge he never went under the bridge hed go over the top work to the other side come up around a whistle cross over the top hunt the other side he crossed back and forth 3 or 4 times while I was there. Ive watch an otter do the same thing at the same spot

Is a cubby considered exposed there the long barrels work the best to hide the bait the shorter barrels get some tall folded grass and leaves tossed over the baits.

Thanks, guys. If anyone has any direction they'd suggest but don't want on the open forum would be very interested via PM. Just trying to put something together to get out for a couple weeks and longline cats/canines next season.

Did that to a coon in a snare once, thought he was dead went to pick him up just about had a hold of his tail and he growled!

Have a good one!!

Its pretty acidic thats why the meat gets so tender with it. leave it in too long and it just turns to mush.
