Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
What an awesome sign for a beautiful lady that I doubt any of us will ever forget~
Sandra Day O Connor quit the Supreme Court in 2006 to care for her husband. He was placed soon after, and O’Connor opined that it was her biggest mistake.
Around 2014, she herself was diagnosed with Alz. She went on to deliver multiple speeches, college graduations, etc. while privately admitting that sometimes she had no memory of the event. In 2018, she finally announced her dx and went to a facility afterward.
She might well have been sitting on SCOTUS until 2018, just as Ronald Reagan was actually president for a year after his reported alz diagnosis leaked out.
Peggy Sue - not everyone gets dementia as they age, though, certainly many do. The aunt that I lived with was 97 when she died and had al her marbles.
Not at all sure. I don't think the majority of us can really grasp the depth of the loss of the Queen to the people of the United Kingdom. We do not have an office in our government that even ranks a close second to what Elizabeth meant to her people. Our presidents, regardless of party, are constantly embroiled in devisivism, and conflict. That goes for every politician that ever served. None have ever even come close to the longevity, stature or class of this Queen.
My deepest sympathies to the people of the United Kingdom, and especially those citizens that are members here.💟💟
From the web -" The Supreme Governor of the Church of England is the titular head of the Church of England, a position which is vested in the British monarch."
You are absolutely right there is no office in the USA that compares to the monarchy. I agree that most in the US don't grasp the impact of the loss of a beloved monarch.
She was head of the Commonwealth as well, and, as such, our (Canada's) queen. too.
You queried:
"Why did the USA even bother splitting from England in the first place?"
Haven't you had ANY classes in American history? Why should the US NOT have broken away from the English yoke????
I had moved from Maine to Ohio to take care of my mother. I moved back to Maine when I couldn't cope with her and the rest of the dysfunctional bunch. she followed me to Maine and was there until she died in 2016. She was so much easier after she came to Maine away from my brother and his family.
I guess some want to forget. It is part of our history and important to remember.
But then the blatantly prayerful Christian threads are against policy too and they are never touched....
BTW, I agree that Glad's thread shouldn't have been removed.

Jan 29, 2019 ... Remind her that you could've been killed on 9/11 but you weren't and for that she should be grateful that you're still here helping her.
Of course tragedies have to do with elderly and caregiving! Can you imagine someone bedbound and not being able to evacuate? Or, someone going through that time and left with anxiety and fear? And so many other things to remember. I am honored to be able to remember the heroes of that time.
I was thinking when I was watching the shows yesterday that air every Sept. 11th showing footage of the planes flying into the bldgs., the towers coming down, people running and screaming that it's not healthy to relive that every year. I can't speak for the families of the victims but I know if I had lost a loved one in 911 I would object to it. It's like if you lost a family member in a car accident or some other horrific way and every anniversary it was being shown on various channels on t.v.
I think it's great to honor the victims and the police, firefighters, etc. who so bravely did their duty on that day but this constant bombardment of the actual footage with voice overs analyzing every sad moment is just too much in my opinion. If they are worried that if they don't do that people might forget. Well, I don't believe there is any chance that is going to happen.
Again, this is just my opinion.
