If you think it's love try not paying in the morning..

Dear Auntie still recognizes me, Mr. Happy, and she is after all my one last remaining close relative. (No smileys here for a sniffle and a sob.)
It is heartbreaking to see those poor old fucks in Memory Care. Dear Auntie is the only one of my family who lost her marbles before she 'went West' ... I figure that I owe her at least the consideration of visiting her (and I thank God daily that I don't have to take care of her!)
The sad truth is that she - and her fellow residents in Memory Care - will be better off after they let go of their last breath.
(Okay, enough of this maudlin shit!)
I'm still "Just A Lurker."

Thank you for recognizing that, Irie.
Now realize, gentlemen, that I don't really quite let that rule my life! If Dear Auntie were to drop the body tomorrow, I'd thank the folks at Memory Care for taking such good care of her - and I'd mourn just long enough to suit the requirements of propriety. And I'd strew her ashes in Sosua Bay, very much the way Jesse Conrad did with the ashes of Lama Norbu at the end of Little Buddha.
(Very, VERY much like that. I have a very strong spiritual connection with Tibetan Buddhism.)
I believe this is one of the lives that I took as a 'vacation' from Bodhisattva duties; not that it was all that complete a vacation, but I have been flouting a couple of the Five Precepts - I'm enjoying my rum and I'm preparing to enjoy Sosua!
If she still knows who you are when you walk in the door, that's a completely different scenario. I agree with you on stopping by to say hi on a regular basis..Originally Posted by Westy;1206556[B

Hope you Enjoy your Big Birthday to the Fullest !!! ... Have a Good one..........
I stopped by Big D's at 1 PM and again about 3:30 PM.
I'm sorry I missed you.
I hope you had a good-enough birthday that you didn't miss me.
Many happy reruns - Westy
Big D was 'under the weather' on Saturday so we moved the party to Don Antonio's.....a few minor adjustments but we had a very good time. Dominican friends were a few hours late (as dictated by being on "Dominican" time). Alan from Midtown Restaurant & Bar put together an excellent spread for eats as well as keeping all the beer ICE cold. Still in town for a couple more days. Stop by Don Antonios and we'll have a few beers.
Oops! I am not really over 80. Just too senile to press the right button.
