  1. Hey all, please take a moment to uplift my friend, she needs urgent support!

    $24 needed for a day of shelter. Overdue! Every amount helps immensely!

  2. 3 days after a 2 day trip to London to see a show ... guess who has just tested positive for covid-19.

    I've seen such messages on here at times, and I guess we need to post about it when it happens so we get a real politics-free perspective.
    So yes. It is definitely still with us, folks.

    I hope the fact that I got vaccinated a few weeks before I left NZ will moderate impact.

    But helping with my relative with dementia is now a no-no to protect his care-home, as is another trip I had planned, I think.

  4. The "State of the Union" address, or as it has come to be known in recent times, the "Airing of Grievances Prior to Taking Grampa's Phone Away, Changing his Diaper, and Putting Him to Bed".

    More seriously, unless they medicate him properly and do something to keep him on-script, Tuesday's performance is likely to be #legendary, and not in a good way.

  5. Searched for:
    delirium pacemaker

    And found the site below looking at switching off pacemakers. And at the issues around dementia and end of life care.
    I knew a man who stopped with the eating and drinking after finding that life without his walks was not worth living.

    I've not yet listened to the podcast, so who knows? I might not agree with their approach.

  6. Sleep irregularity and dementia risk

    Researchers have uncovered a surprising link between #sleepregularity and the risk of developing #dementia. Their findings, published in Neurology, suggest that both very irregular and, to a lesser extent, overly consistent #sleeppatterns are associated with an increased risk of dementia.
