Bills 40 chiefs 35

I've had too much going on in my life to pay attention. What happened to Toronto? I know Boston beat the yankees and there was a 4 way tie at the end of the season. I'l be rooting for Baston (B-I-L likes them) and SF (lived in the area for almost 20 years).

FO: Bills over Texans was Top Defensive DVOA Ever Measured
Wacka replied to Coach Tuesday's topic in The Stadium Wall
IOW, something a stat geek would care about. The only stat that matters is what the scoreboard says when the clock reads 00:00. -

IfI remember correctly, the final line of the movie.

51st State? DC Statehood Is Happening!
Wacka replied to Trump_is_Mentally_fit's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
If I remember correctly, according to the Constitution, the capital of the US cannot be in any state. That is why the DC was created,. -
Did I say completely? Might have helped but we don't know. I have read that Delta is more easily caught but tnot as severe as the original strain. Sorry if I'm not clear, please remember what I had to go through the last three weeks.
-
This vaccine in no different than ANY other vaccine. Our family was fully vaccinated and me, my brother and mother caught what we believe was the Delta strain. Nothing to do with the vaccine. The virus mutated and the vaccine was ineffective against delta. That is just biology. Just like the flu mutates ever year. My brother had no symptoms, but was positive. I had mild flu like symptoms. I have been much sicker from the flu in the past.

10/3/21 Gameday Bills vs. Texans Postgame Thread
Wacka replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
As long as the Bills don't record a video of the Super Bowl Shuffle II. Don't you mean Tubisky's kneel downs? -
Relay this to Mary if you can: Just lost my 95 year old mom last week and we had Hospice coming to the house since April. Never regretted referring her. They are angels on earth. They are there for Cindy AND for you too. There is a whole team of people available- Nurses, Social worker, and chaplin. They said to call them first when the patient passes at home. They came, declared mom dead, helped us destroy her meds and even offered to call the funeral home for us.There is even bereavement counseling available for a year. Their #1 aim is to make the patient comfortable.

Was there. Had seasons with my Sister, brother-in-law, and mother (she was 64 at the time).Our seats were on the tunnel goal line, press box side 36 rows up. Didn't go down on the field, but one of the uprights came up through our section on the way out of the stadium to the parking lots. I still remember my mom screaming her lungs out touching the goal post. Unrelated but another great moment in Bills history.- The three TDs in 77 seconds vs Denver was 31 years ago today.
-
Thank you all for your kind words. Spent the morning calling about her life insurance policy, annuities, my dad's pension, etc. Stuff you have to do . Much easier when you have put all of it together several years before it was necessary. Just went in the strong box and pulled them out.
-
We were there at the end. Hospice came to the House.They avoid taking people to their facility unless it is absolutely necessary. They were going to come daily if she would have lasted longer. I checked on her about 15 minutes before my brother did. I was just in the next room. They say to call them before the funeral home. They came, pronounced her dead and helped us gather and destroy all her medications and their "comfort pack" stored in the fridge (morphine and painkillers which are if needed-we didn't). They offered to call the funeral home for us, but my brother did it. They even offer a year of grief counseling if needed. They are there to help the patient AND the family.

Will the WFT game sell out despite new jab policy?
Wacka replied to benderbender's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
After I'm out of quarrentine, I'll buy a ticket. I was fully vaccinated and caught Delta, so I'm fine. -
Get a life. Don't you have anybody to care about?

Aphasia. Another sign of a stroke in Joe. I had aphasia for names for names for a while after my stroke. -
We were looking through photos this afternoon for the video collage at the wake. Found a professional photo of mom from 1948 that must have belonged to my aunt. Said on the back that it was her sister (my mom's name) and she was 21 and it was from 1948. My mom was a stunner! This was years before she met my dad.
-
I don't think mom died of COVId. She was going downhill and wouldn't have made it to Thanksgiving or Christmas anyway. People who work in nursing homes etc say that there is a statistical uptick in deaths within a week or so of people's birthdays. They just want yto make it to the next one. Maybe COVID just advanced it by a day or two.
-
We are going to have the wake on October 1 and bury her on October 2. My sis is negative but me and my bro will be out of quarrentine. October 1 is the 31st anniversary of my dad's death. My mom was also positive so according to state laws, we have to have a closed casket and she has to be in a bag in the casket. We will have a nice picture of her that my sister had taken when they took her on a cruise about 10 years ago displayed. The funeral director says you can provide up to 40-50 pictures and he makes a video montage he runs in the room. I saw that at my aunts's (her sister) wake about 7 years ago. We are including a very nice picture of her and my dad of them out at a nightclub at least 65 years ago (when they were dating). We were showing her that photo in the mornings to try to jump start her memory as the dementia took its toll.

Today just after my sis and BIL go to the funeral home to make arrangements(My mom, bro, and me are COVID Positive but sis negative). They call us with the arrangements and minutes later, I get THREE calls from my mom's phone!
-
We were blessed that we had her for so long with her wits about her. Had good genes in her family. Was one of 9 siblings, she was in the middle. Oldest died at 98 in 2014. Baby of the family died in the same year at 83. Her mom was 76 and her dad was 94 when he died. Her only survive sibling is 91.

We live about a mile from their main facility in Cheektowaga. When we called they were here in a few minutes. Another gracious gift from the Ralph Wilson Estate. As I said, they are angels on earth. Had a weird thing Sunday morning. Was out shopping for a few minutes and I get a call from my mom's cell phone. No one there. It has sitting in a drawer for over a year with no minutes and a dead battery. Come home and my brother is sitting with her at the kitchen table(her in a lay-Z-boyrecliner) and I ask him if he used the phone. No way he replies. That was about the time she really started being incoherent. Was it somehow a message from her?

I have mentioned my elderly mom on this board before. She lost her battle with dementia this afternoon. She had turned 95 on 9/1. She was a widow since 1990 when my dad died at 60. She had shown slight signs in her late 80s, but her mobility was greatly reduced when she broke a foot about 4 years ago. She was able to be by herself until almost 3 years ago, when she caught pneumonia and then needed constant supervision. She declined slowly and her doctor referred her to Hospice (angels on earth) in April. They were coming every 2 weeks and then weekly, and after her birthday, she quickly went downhill. We called them Sunday and had them check her vitals that were OK. They were scheduled to come today, but we asked them to come earlier in the day if possible. They did and provided her oxygen at 3 or 4. She passed about 6:50. At home and in bed like she wanted. If you are younger, cherish every moment with your parents. We only have so much . She helped me when I has in trouble and I was glad to help her out now in this part of her life.
