Bettercaring / My Opinion

I have an aunt who is in a "Board & Care." facility and luckily, is doing fine. Before placing her there, I had to look at dozens of places, including home care, board and care, nursing homes, all types of facilities, and most were disgusting. My mother is 85 and my step dad is 92. I may have to do the same thing with them. What seemed to be missing, for me, was an easy to use place that could answer my questions about "Better Caring." Well, I have been asked to evaluate a web site called "bettercaring." This was a natural for me. As I looked through the site what struck me was the ease-of-use. It might seem silly, but I also thought the colors were soft and easy on the eyes.

There was an easy to use forum for questions. Some of the topics were quite relevant, including continuing to manage at home or entering a care home, searching for a living situation and how to obtain funds to pay for these situations.

I was also impressed with their searching for care situation feature. I was VERY impressed with the ability to increase the size of the type upon request.

It seems that the creator of this website has taken into account the fact that many elderly people will be using this site. WELL DONE.

I do, however, have only one suggestion to make this site better:

1. It seems to only be for the UK. I would like to see this expand for other countries like the USA.

Overall, I think that this site serves a critical need, and from what I have seen, I am very impressed.

The Amazing Vicks Vaporub

This is not a joke and I am not being paid to report this. Consider this a public service announcement. If you have small kids, you must read this.

This is an email that a dear friend sent me. I also tried it and it does work.

Subject: Vicks Vaporub- this is amazing! Try it.

During a lecture on Essential Oils, they told us how the foot soles can absorb oils. Their example: Put garlic on your feet and within 20 minutes you can 'taste' it.

Some of us have used Vicks Vaporub for years for everything from chapped lips to sore toes and many body parts in between. But I've never heard of this. And don't laugh, it works 100% of the time, although the scientists who discovered it aren't sure why. To stop night time coughing in a child (or adult as we found out personally), put Vicks Vaporub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime, then cover with socks. Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. Works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly.

Just happened to tune in A.M. radio and picked up this guy talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good, due to the chemical makeup of these strong drugs so, I listened. It was a surprise finding and found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime, in addition to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly.

My wife tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100%! She said that it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her, coughing stopped in a few minutes and believe me, this was a deep, (incredibly annoying!) every few seconds uncontrollable cough, and she slept cough-free for hours every night that she used it.

Are You Prepared For Success? (Section III - Installment #7 "It Brings Down the Great” – Male & Female versions)

(If this is your first time on this site, you may want to begin with "Are You Prepared For Success?" [Introduction])

If you are a regular reader of my Empowerment Process please read the Section II version of this poem first; then read this version.

It Brings Down The Great

Ominous and powerful, it can bring down the great.
Few are immune, it doesn't discriminate.
It can't be held and it can't be seen.
But it leaves devastation wherever it's been.

Oh, the accolades I will have
For all those accomplishments I want so bad.
I won't let it in and I won't give it life.
I won't be cut down by anyone's knife.

I know what I want, I know what to do.
I won't be stopped. To myself I'll be true.
I won't plant the seeds. I won't let it grow.
I will stop it cold, and this I know.

I won't let it grow strong. I'll stop it today.
I won't let it destroy me. It won't get in my way.
I do not fear it…not even its name.
I will fight it off. Its ferocity I'll tame.

It won't consume me. It won't take my dreams.
It will leave in shame as it hears my screams
And now that I know, I just want to shout,
"I'll never give in to those first strands of doubt."

(An Original Poem by Mel Kaye)

I strongly suggest that you write down your immediate reaction, after passionately reading this poem.

• What will you accomplish now that all doubt is gone?

WORK VS. PRISON

Just in case you ever get these two environments mixed up, this should make things a little bit clearer:

@ PRISON
You spend most of your time in a 10X10 cell

@ WORK
You spend most of your time in an 6X6 cubicle

@ PRISON
You get three meals a day, fully paid for

@ WORK
You get a break for one meal and you have to pay for it

@ PRISON
For good behavior, you get time off

@ WORK
For good behavior, you get more work

@ PRISON
The guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you

@ WORK
You must carry a security card and open all the doors yourself

@ PROSON
You can watch TV and play games

@ Work
You could get fired for watching TV and playing games

@ PRISON
You get your own toilet

@ WORK
You have to share the toilet with people who pee on the seat

@ PRISON
They allow your family and friends to visit

@ WORK
You aren't even supposed to speak to your family

@ PRISON
All expenses are paid by the taxpayers with no work required

@ WORK
You must pay all your expenses to go to work, and they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for prisoners

@ PRISON
You spend most of your life inside bars wanting to get out

@ WORK
You spend most of your time wanting to get out and go inside bars

@ PRISON
You must deal with sadistic wardens

@ WORK
They are called 'managers'

THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE.

Policeman Testifies in Court

If you ever testify in court, you might wish you could have been as sharp as this policeman. He was being cross-examined by a defense attorney during a felony trial. The lawyer was trying to undermine the policeman's credibility...

Q: "Officer -- did you see my client fleeing the scene?"
A: "No sir.But I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender, running several blocks away."
Q: "Officer -- who provided this description?"
A: "The officer who responded to the scene."
Q: "A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?"
A: "Yes, sir. With my life."

Q: "With your life? Let me ask you this then officer. Do you have a room where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily duties?"
A: "Yes sir, we do!"
Q: "And do you have a locker in the room?"
A: "Yes sir, I do."
Q: "And do you have a lock on your locker?"
A: "Yes sir."

Q: "Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with these same officers?"
A: "You see, sir -- we share the building with the court complex, and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room."

The courtroom erupted in laughter, and a prompt recess was called. The officer on the stand has been nominated for this year's "Best Comeback" line -- and we think he'll win.

Case of the Pregnant Lady

ACTUAL AUSTRALIAN COURT DOCKET 12659---CASE
OF THE PREGNANT LADY

A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another seat.

This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again. The man seemed more amused. When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing, she complained to the driver and he had the man arrested.

The case came up in court. The judge asked the man (about 20 years old) what he had to say for himself.

The man replied, "Well your Honor, it was like this, when the lady got on the bus, I couldn't help but notice her condition. She sat down under a sign that said, 'The Double Mint Twins are coming' and I grinned.

Then she moved and sat under a sign that said, 'Logan's Liniment will reduce the swelling,' and I had to smile.

Then she placed herself under a deodorant sign that said, "William's Big Stick Did the Trick," and I could hardly contain myself.

But, Your Honor, when She moved the fourth time and sat under a sign that said, 'Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this Accident'... I just lost it."

"CASE DISMISSED!!"

"Big Bang" - Master List-1 (Click Here For Current Copy of the List)

Please go HERE for the "Big Bang" Master list.

And the "Stats" are Mounting

This week I have surpassed a couple of statistical milestones. First, my "Blog Reactions" have soared past the 2,000 number.
And, I have entered the hallowed ground of Technorati's top 5,000.
Now, I am well aware that this stat (Technorati Authority) is based on a 180 day concept and that links fall off and this could change; however, if I want to continue playing this game, and as long as it remains fun and I do not take it too seriously, I just have to stay ahead of the curve.

Now that I have patted myself on the back and done the "Gratitude Dance", I must get back to the semi-serious job of blogging, seriously.....well sort of.

EVER WONDER

Why the sun lightens our hair,
but darkens our skin ?

Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed?

Why don't you ever see the headline 'Psychic Wins Lottery'?

Why is 'abbreviated' such a long word?

Why is it that doctors call what they do 'practice'?

Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?

Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?

Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?

Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?

Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?

Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?

You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes?
Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?!

Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?

Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?

If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?

Only In America

Only in America ......do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.

Only in America .....do people order double cheeseburgers,large
fries, and a diet coke.

Only in America .....do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.

Only in America ......do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.

Only in America ......do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.

Only in America .....do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.

Only in America .. ...do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.

China Beaches

On a personal note, this summer my wife and I are going on vacation to China. This will include Shanghi, Xian, Bejing and cruise on the Yangtse River. My plan is to turn my blog into a "Travel Blog" for 2 weeks; publishing pictures and much more, when I can get to Internet access. Anyway, with that in mind, I thought you might get a kick out of these pictures.

WOW - and we thought the beaches in the US were crowded.

When you need to relax and get away from it all in China....you go to the beach!!

HELP! ... WHERE IS THE BATHROOM ?????
