...implying that the daughter has just "dumped" her mother in a nursing home? That has really bugged me - it is obvious they didn't read the article........the mother MOVED there with her husband. It sounds more like what we would call an assisted living care facility, rather than a nursing home.
My late MIL chose to move into one.....that's right she chose to do so. Neither my husband nor his sisters "dumped" her there.

"Really, you drug addicts make it seem like the entire world is against you "
Lets take this a step at a time, so you will understand (and I will use small words):
1- Yes, I am a drug addict. I like to smoke. And the government allows me to. Why do you feel free to condemn me?
2- The entire world IS against me (you are a perfect case in point).. Even if I pay for my own health care, and yours, in the highly repressive taxes you have laid on me and my habit, you still feel free to condemn.
I don't know you, but I would bet that I could find 3 things I don't like about you. Would i criticize you? Not on your life. I would accept you the way you are. Would I try to make you live my life style. Again, not on your life.

I have a novel idea. Why doesn't the daughter let her live with her? Then she can smoke in the daughter's house to her hearts content.Because the daughter probably has a family and also works. This way, the old woman has care 24/7 in the nursing home. It's not always easy for a working family to take in the old folks.

On second thought, I do agree completely with you! How SICK is it that this old woman's daughter would put her up in a nursing home! That is TERRIBLE. What kind of daughter is this?Listen...........
Because the daughter probably has a family and also works. This way, the old woman has care 24/7 in the nursing home. It's not always easy for a working family to take in the old folks.

So then, Mrs. Mock could simply take mum out of the nursing home and let her live with her, right?I repeat:

The elderly lady and her so called daughter are pathetic. They care not one bit for the wishes of others.
Daughter Joan: if you are so upset, take her to your house and have her smoke all she wants!

Why not let her live with her. She is perfectly healthy except for some arthritis in her knees. More to the point, WHY is she in a nursing home?
Why the government intervenes and 'gives' you care, you know there will be strings attached.Maybe the old woman fell and broke her hip, therefore, needing round the clock care.
Maybe she has a heart problem requiring round the clock monitoring. The "if's" are endless when it comes to the elderly.

How sick is this??!! I'd say Gladys is rather sick.
And I don't want her bodily fluids/refuse on the floor of the nursing home either ...
To: Lokibob
Lets take this a step at a time, so you will understand (and I will use small words):Oh boy...nice attempt at a personal insult.
And now to refute your pathetic accusations:
1- Yes, I am a drug addict. I like to smoke. And the government allows me to. Why do you feel free to condemn me?
Please provide evidence where I condemn you [or smokers].
2- The entire world IS against me (you are a perfect case in point).. Even if I pay for my own health care, and yours, in the highly repressive taxes you have laid on me and my habit, you still feel free to condemn.
See refute to #1.
I don't know you, but I would bet that I could find 3 things I don't like about you. Would i criticize you? Not on your life. I would accept you the way you are. Would I try to make you live my life style. Again, not on your life.
That's fine. I could care less if you find 3 or 3,000 things you don't like about me. I'm not trying to tell smokers/drug addicts what kind of lifestyle to have, I'm merely citing the fact that smokers/drug addicts have to accept that there will be certain (increasingly many) establishments that DO NOT ALLOW any smoking. Therefore, back to your respect statement, instead of bitching and moaning about "oh, I can't smoke here", instead have a little respect for the property/business owner and the rules that they have set in place and smoke elsewhere. Is it really that hard?

"FR drug addicts "
Simply put, you sure bought the whole PC mantra hook line and sinker.
I know many smokers, I do not consider ANY of them drug addicts. That is just plain hog wash. They are no more drug addicts than those who drink socially. Which is most of the adult human race.

Because the daughter probably has a family and also works. It sounds like a convenient excuse for the daughter and mother to just bitch and whine while the daughter ignores her poor, old mother.
FYI, smoking is not part of health care.

Smoking doesn't cause oxygen fires, it's some jerk that got oil somewhere in the oxygen system, that's an instant fire!

I'm a big proponent of smoker's rights, but not where smoker's rights override business owner/private property owner rights.

Where do you live that this happens?? Seems to most of us, it's they are either one in the same, or the opposite.

Really, you drug addicts make it seem like the entire world is against you just so you have an opportunity to complain how repressed you are. In many cases, the FR drug addicts sound a lot like Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan the Jesse Jackson types.And you ignorant azzholes just don't get it. And NO! We don't think the world is against us. We only encounter A-HOLES like YOU when we come in HERE!
