The Old Folks Home

[Bunnylady]

We're all growing a little older every day. It's the way it is.

My daughter has seen us taking care of our parents, and me
and her have an ongoing joke.

I tell her that when her mother and I get old, we're going to get
a big double stroller (wheelchair) and she'll have to take care of
us.

She has another plan. When we get old, she's gonna buy us a box
of depends and drop us off at the Old Folks Home some night when
we're asleep. With a note, of course.

But she isn't taking care of us...

I guess it's obvious where Baby Spook got her sense of humor from. I wonder what else she got from you, Spook? I bet you can't wait for her to start driving!

spookwriter, when I get dumped off I doubt I'll even get the box of depends

gryeyes, I wish we had a "Dead Fly Diner." The name kinda describes my kitchen but, you'd never catch good food there. Do they have a gift shop? I'd love a t shirt or mug, or even a napkin if it had their logo.

I tell my girls that's their birthright/responsibility. I changed their diapers for a few years, they must repay the service. They watched me care for their great-Grama here, so they know the truth of it...I just hope they find me a home where I think I'm on a cruise like we finally found for Grama!! She's having a great time and goes back to her 'cabin' when the girls in the cafeteria start cat-fights and knock each other over with their walkers...

They're not quite that web savvy, but they DO sell those mugs and -I think - t-shirts in the diner foyer. (I bought one of the mugs on my second visit, in late 2011.)

PM me. I'm sure we can work something out.

I fixed my kids but good. Since they had both moved away from home and husband and parents have since passed on, I bought the 10 acres next to my younger son, built a house that will accommodate a wheelchair, when the times comes, and he set me up with a security system and a push-to-talk button for when I need help, also in the future. We can go a week and not talk. It's good for him and good for me. And because we live close to where all my family, cousins, are located, I still have a social life. Chickens help, they need me. Can I share? I had a 6-egg-day yesterday, out of 8 pullets. Just like having kids, without the pain.

I want to set up a remote control air plane to chase hawks with.

I LIKE that! A predator drone! I could get into RC toys if I had a Hawk Drone!

 

[Bunnylady]

I'd think a RC helicopter might work better in tight quarters, but it would certainly be a case of "don't get caught!"

 

[dsqard]

Acutally Linda the Predator drone might be a little too big for backyard activities

Just sayin'

Yes Predator is the actual name for this "drone" If you really want to be correct, they are not called drones, they are called UAS's. I get to see these take off just about every weekday.
