Hobbits vote for small governments!
You shoulda done that last Thursday! That's a great Halloween thing for the front yard; a creepy fog rolling over the lawn!
I've done my duty as a citizen and exercised my franchise! I'll be praying hard ALL day for the Repubs. to keep the House and take back the Senate. I would love to see what Dubya can do with all the backing he needs in Congress!
What part of NH, ksen? If you 're going to be up near the White Mountains, you may even have a WHITE Thanksgiving!! Be sure to bring WARM clothes!!
Now THAT'S what I call 'getting out the vote'!! You GO, honey!
I did that last Thursday.....in the lab
This dwarf did too. Perhaps at my own peril...but that's 50,000 words on its own...
All we have is land Katie Scarlett...
I think it must depend on the State regulations and the disease. My Mama was considered in Hospice Care and she has Alzheimer's. They considered it a terminal illness, it just takes longer than others. With the Hospice designation, she was able to receive some of her medications through the program. She wasn't really on that many prescription meds at the time.
She's now in a nursing home, and interestingly is more alert and talkative than she's been in months. My sisters said the nurses will wheel her down to the Nurses' Station with all the other old folks who are not ambulatory or confined to beds with IVs etc. They will sit and chatter among themselves, though half the time, no one knows what anyone else is talking about, they just like being in a group.
She still has the congestive heart failure and diminshed kidney capacity, but she's hanging in there!
My family said that the Hospice people were always very good to Mama; the nurses and aides were very caring people. If you need to go that route Corin, I'm sure you'll find the same.
I love Tom Bombadil, whatever he is, and I love how he loves his lady!
Romance is taking a big hit today!
I had an errand there: gathering water-lilies,
green leaves and lilies white to please my pretty lady,
the last ere the year’s end to keep them from the winter,
to flower by her pretty feet tilt the snows are melted.Each year at summer’s end I go to find them for her,
in a wide pool, deep and clear, far down Withywindle;
there they open first in spring and there they linger latest.By that pool long ago I found the River-daughter,
fair young Goldberry sitting in the rushes.
Sweet was her singing then, and her heart was beating!And that proved well for you – for now I shall no longer
go down deep again along the forest-water,
not while the year is old. Nor shall I be passing
Old Man Willow’s house this side of spring-time,
not till the merry spring, when the River-daughter
dances down the withy-path to bathe in the water.
