Your parents are smart and you are lucky, Brd. My parents are stubborn and have insisted remaining "independent" despite the mounting evidence. That's why we're in this mess to begin with.

Nice to hear stories like that, Brd. Assisted living is in my mother's near future as well. Problem in her area is that Katrina took out most of the homes.
People, Florida is the retirement capital of the world. I can't imagine that we don't have some good facilities.
And the fact that I liver here is just icing on your cakes, I know.
Liver? Freud much, Shamey?
LOL!!

It was against my mother-in-law's wishes to move to assisted living (and, as her primary caretaker, I was the one who had to force the issue - her two sons were incapable of making the decision.) I can honestly say it saved her life - cause I would have killed her by now, otherwise.
If it were up to me alone, DG...
Well, all I can say is my favorite line from THE GOLDEN GIRLS: Shady Pines, Ma, Shady Pines.
Wow! I just saw my typo. Yeah, I have no defense for that.

ok update - the car is mine. being prepped as I type and we go sign and pick up after work. woohoo.
yikes ... just read back ... that's a tough spot to be in, deeters. Sorry about the situation ...
Having rough day - a PM at work just won't listen to me. Wants me to basically fit a square peg into a triangular hole.
I know, Tinkerbell, I know. Congrats on the new wheels!
Hey DD!

How do those people ever rise to the top, DD? Oh, right, I just remembered Deet's theory.
Sorry for your pain.
Tink - we'll want photos, you know. Congrats!
shames! moons! alls!
I just got an email from said PM - "I guess I just don't understand why you can't fit the square pegs into the triangular holes." (actually it's columns in a set page width, but the square pegs/triangular holes description is less boring).
I guess saying, "because it just won't fit, you jackass!" is out of the question.

I guess "I don't understand why YOU don't understand" is out as well.

That'll be me in a couple of weeks ... I haven't had a 5-day work week since mid-April.
I go back as far as February!
ETA: But I will add that I'm glad to have a job and not trying to find one.
