Hmmm…missed that. I mean, I’ve probably driven past/near there, but just don’t remember. Mom and I spent many vacation days in the Sierra Nevadas over the last 25 years traveling together after Dad passed, both sides of the range. We’ve driven the entire stretch of Highway 49, which is also “Gold Country”. But my favorite memory will always be visiting San Andreas. There were bumper stickers everywhere that said “It’s Not Our Fault”. Just cracked me up. (Yes, that’s some faulty humor there.)
Charlie Chaplin burned his unreleased film “A Woman of the Sea” in 1933 for tax purposes, as he was unsatisfied with the final product. He also once fired an underage girl from his movie after she refused to abort his child. He knew her from 8 and seduced her at 15. He narrowly escaped this scandal by marrying her in secret.
Which is why you pre-empt the change on the lead up week by moving feeding time slightly later each day until you’re around half an hour late on the day of the change, you can then spend the next couple of weeks Recovering continuing the move to the later time. That is what I’m in the process of doing for Ivy, I also changed my alarm times to be half an hour earlier to assist with the morning feed, plus it means I get more morning.
I solved that problem by having such an erratic schedule that neither I nor my dog ate at a certain time every day.
But still… On daylight saving time I just aimed for a later time than I did on standard time, so that it would be the same to her. If you don’t HAVE to feed your dog at a certain “clock time”, I see no reason to change with the clock.
Don’t feed them so early on daylight saving time, that you wouldn’t get home from work in time when the clock falls back.
My vet said to always feed your animals after you eat, so they know who’s alpha, so I always did. No racing home to feed them asap. I adored my dog and she knew it… She also knew I ate first, and no begging.
Good human! This sort of thing make the dog happy as it gets a treat, plus it thinks it’s being sneaky and getting one over on the human. There’s several videos floating about where you see Goldens doing things like this.
If you have a loved one in a care facility of any kind, check on them without announcing yourself and on no regular schedule. And as often as possible.
My father was in a retirement home after his stroke, and later in a care home when the dementia got too bad for the retirement home to cope with, and I will say that both of them were absolutely fantastic. They were privately owned, and the care and the facilities were top notch. I know that not all places are the same, and there are some horror stories out there, but we somehow managed to pick two places that were fantastic.
Exactly. Even the best intended ones can have hidden issues.
It’s just a good idea to keep staff on their toes.
As for the caregivers, they are usually nurses that have just got their certification but don’t have much experience. Long term care facilities are where many nurses get their first experience.
I couldn’t agree more (keeping staff on their toes).
One of my workers, and older gent with some minor mental challenges was injured at work. The first time I visited him in hospital (once he was stabilized about 4 days later), when I got to his assigned room he wasn’t there. I asked the nurse at the wing-station where he was, and she didn’t know. I told her that I was astonished, that it was her job TO KNOW where he was.
Never had a problem afterward.
They thought he didn’t rate. So I set ’em straight.
Not a great one. Wheel chairs leave TWO sets of lines – the rear wheels seldom follow closely in the front wheel tracks. AND…the wheel chair had to leave. That would be even more lines.
For the first time in many moons, I lost my Internet connection last night, a few minutes past midnight, right in the middle of posting.
It used to happen all the time on my DSL, but a year or so ago, wireless internet finally reached my neighborhood, and I grabbed it. It’s only been out a very few times.
Usually if it does happen, I can come back with my phone, using cell service instead of WiFi. But I get both from T mobile, and for the first time, they went out together. Mobile came back for a few minutes this morning, then went again.
You know, I got my first, dial up, Internet service in the late 1990s. I’d had computers, but no modem, and no service to my neighborhood. I’d only used the Internet a bit at the library.
I got my first smartphone in 2010.
It’s shocking to me that, considering that I spent most of my life without the Internet, I was so devastated without it!
…..
I just talked to T-Mobile.. it was a network outage, and I had to reset some stuff. They had to help me find my network password, which, what do you know, is different from my WiFi password, my cell password, and some other password.
It’s still a little flaky, in and out, but now I know what to do if it doesn’t stay on.
Anyway… unfortunately I have to leave now. See you later!
I keep a list of passwords in Excel. It’s a password protected file. So I only have to remember that one. And I didn’t share it with the dogs ’cause they can’t type anyway.
In one place I have a list of not the passwords themselves, but words that are clues, but only for me.
I never write down the actual passwords… except my WiFi password, cos what’s anyone going to do with it.
However these T-Mobile ones are strings of about 12 letters and numbers that I didn’t choose, and can’t change. The one I was missing was assigned to me during installation of my “gateway” (a 5G to Wi-Fi modem) over the phone, and I don’t believe I was told.
It’s not actually kept secret from the user…there’s a way to find it if you log into their mobile app and know where to look, which is what the tech told me today.

Moby Bull, the white moose?
He looks amused.
A-moosed?
WOW! A white chocolate Moose!
I was going to say that…. and I’m only four hours too late.
The frost is kinda heavy this morning.

Clearly the whole place is a laundry.

I want a fountain like that!
Maybe you could get one, up there in the frozen North… but maintenance costs are high.
You’d spend a fortune just on Purina Moose Chow.

“The land that time forgot…”
Yeah, we have a lot of those in the Ozarks.
It’s in a beautiful area, in the Sierra foothills… part of the California “gold country”.
A tiny town, but it gets a fair number of tourists, so I think they purposely try to maintain the old time-y look of it.

The Calanais standing stones, near the town of Callanish, on Lewis Island, in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland.
They date from about 2,700 BC, making them nearly 5,000 years old.
Supposedly, Stonehenge only began about 3100 BC, and was completed around 1500 BC. I wasn’t there, so I can’t confirm this.

Okay! Okay! What did she refuse to do???
Oh – and wikipedia has something more to say on that matter.
Oh…
Inquiring minds want to know!
You’re welcome.

That is what I’m in the process of doing for Ivy, I also changed my alarm times to be half an hour earlier to assist with the morning feed, plus it means I get more morning.For me dinner is around four. Yesterday they got dinner at three thirty. Probably about the same today.

good advice, Hap. with help hard to get, nursing homes are often understaffed,
leading to neglect or worse
