It’s been my experience that the elderly are suckers for a spin-kick to the base of the skull. Try it and let me know how it works out.

The umpteenth weight loss journey of my older life is almost at an end. Been losing weight, feeling great. Since I no longer drink alcohol, the weight should stay off this time.

Plus, less gout issues. Win-win! Good for you!
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Was thinking about my writing while I was on the toilet, and I remembered that I need to edit the last scene to change the season of the year.

Do you ever get in situations where elderly patients casually confess to decades-old murders?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Nope.
The thing to understand about dementia is that usually the person behaves the opposite of how they were normally. So, if they were quiet and calm, with dementia they'll curse, be mean, and strip their clothes off for no reason in the middle of the night. If they normally had violent tendencies, they'll be the sweetest little things with dementia.

Chapter four was kicking my butt, though it has finally corrected itself.
