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.

Wow look at that diabolical smile on his face. -
CA is run by commie democrats. Haven't lived there since 2014 and can bet I have voted in every election since.

Obviously a democrat, so there is no way there could be voter fraud.😉

Sarah Silverman posits forming a USA 1 and USA 2
Wacka replied to SCBills's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Hollywood films so much outside Ca and the US. Have been doing so for years. Don't you realize that most of Star Wars was filmed in England. Number 2 being the important phrase. -
odds are he killed her. when Scott Peterson said his pregnant wife disappeared on Christmas eve while he was fishing 90 miles away in SF bay, I immediately figured he killed her. She was somewhere between Modesto and SF bay there are myriads of places he could have dumped her where she would not have been found for a long time. the easiest conclusion is usually the right one.

fraud has been going on in CA elections for years. about 15 years ago in the local election, the guy ahead of me in line went to sign the register and someone had already signed and voted as him. this was for town offices,. no fed or state seats were up for election.

Can change by Sunday. Depending on the wind direction, could get more rain if if actually does rain. For example in July, the Tonawandas got 7 inches in about 2 days, while in Cheektowaga, we got about a tenth of an inch. This AM, the sky was perfectly cloudless from Cheektoeaha north, but in the southtowns they had clouds that looked like lake effect. They were predicting lake effect rain for the southern half of the county. The situations were like what causes lake effect snow (difference in water and air temps), but it is much too warm for snow (low 70s today). They did spot a waterspout off Ripley (by the PA state line) this morning.
