Maybe it just needed a bit of attention. <br /><br />Robin - that is funny. My nephew had a problem with R's and L's - pronouncing them with W's. When he started kindergarten, the teacher called his mother and said, "Do you know your son replaces his R's and L's with W's?" as if my SIL was an idiot. I told my SIL she should have acted surprised and said, "Oh Wiwwy!"Bag Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885412195900280096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10997257.post-12243595026948096592015-01-06T11:18:11.751-06:002015-01-06T11:18:11.751-06:00My youngest brother brought my Mother down to visi...My youngest brother brought my Mother down to visit yesterday lunchtime (which was great as they also picked up 'fish & chips' along the way!) She is still as sharp as a razor with her wit and wisdom - that anyone within ear shot is entitled to. <br /><br />Out of the three canines she kept calling out commands to the older one named Joss; "Joss come here" - "Joss sit" - "Joss do as your told" etc… I asked her why she was ordering poor Joss about, and she laughed; "Because when he was alive he wouldn't bloody listen - or do as he was told - at least this one does!"<br /><br />Joss was my fathers name, who I named the Staffordshire Bull Terrier after… <br /><br />On the other subject of the missing r… I have a good mate who is unable to pronounce his r's as he has a lisp, he gets through life by rolling with a w in place of an r, which has aways worked, even when we were Marines together. Unfortunately his parents named him Robin, though they did consider William at first. Such is life!<br /><br />Yours Aye.Ex Bootneckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08959426594672393670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10997257.post-82113263565166024362015-01-06T06:45:14.544-06:002015-01-06T06:45:14.544-06:00Today the keyboard is a bit better.

It is tough on us all.Bag Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885412195900280096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10997257.post-83999524522797854182015-01-06T06:42:58.586-06:002015-01-06T06:42:58.586-06:00Anon, we got a new printer for Christmas and will ...Anon, we got a new printer for Christmas and will soon get a new keyboard. <br /><br />My mother-in-law is in an assisted living. She has a one bedroom apartment with a kitchenette, all her meals, maid service, laundry service, etc. She loves it.

So we told her it would only be for a week. She called crying like a baby, to please come and get her, because the place was unbearable. I thought it was so nice I was asking for a room myself! Some people just don't do well in paradise. My keyboard is seriously gimped, because I spilled some soup on it a month ago. I'm going to get a new one at office depot, as my laser printer paper is low, and combine the trip...

She fell twice and laid in the floor all night and then spent a week in the hospital both times. I'm hoping Mom will not do anything dangerous, but will come to realize how much better it would be for her.Bag Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885412195900280096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10997257.post-1916033804494462952015-01-05T10:04:30.979-06:002015-01-05T10:04:30.979-06:00I think the R problem is you not the keyboard. Yo...I think the R problem is you not the keyboard. You are rebeling against blogging!!<br /><br />We did the same with Gene's mom. She looked at places and decided to stay put in Magdalena. Then she scared herself, I think, and just said one day, "I'm moving to Albuquerque to assisted living." They looked at the place near Virginia's, she liked it and moved in about a week later. She did well there. She always said to me that she didn't really care for it - the games, etc., but it was good and safe and they kept her busy so she wasn't sitting around in her room sulking. I never thought she could do it, she was too independent always did her own yardwork, housework, sewing, etc. She liked not having to drive to go shopping and such but would complain once in a while that she shouldn't have sold her car when she moved. She was 90 when she moved. I hope that works out for you, too.<br /><br />Best for the New Year!Jo Castillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00411430042547033972noreply@blogger.com
