That would really suck.

Fire engine and ambulance showed up at a group home at the end of our block and across the street, lights but no siren. They got the gurney out and left it in the yard. A few minutes later they walked a man out, put him on the gurney and strapped him down in the sitting up position then off they went.

Someones not having a good day.

I sincerely like the lines on that one. All of my roasting pans are the oval-shaped enamelware type.

I like the enamelware, but I'm not a fan of the oval shape.  I've got a small enamelware broiler that gets a lot of use.  I'm looking at enameled steel next if I like this one and it gets used.  Martha Stewart and Pioneer Woman make enameled steel with liftout handles for the rack.  The only thing I don't like is they're rather deep.

The police were at out facility last night because somehow a resident got a hold of alcohol and caused a scene.

When dad was in his final days, he had a stash of liquor smuggled in by his girlfriend.

One day he asked for a drink of vodka and cranberry juice.  She thought it looked a little strong so looked for something to dilute it with.  She found a Mt. Dew bottle in his bedside table so she added some of that.  Dad took a sip and remarked that it was a pretty stiff drink.  Turns out my niece had brought him some rum in the Mt. Dew bottle.

At the end of my dad's days I'd sneak in shots of peppermint schnaps, he loved it in his coffee. Never enough to cause a problem.

I'd also bring peppermints, sneaky, sneaky, sneaky.

We all figured it certainly wasn't going to hurt anything.  They already had maxed out pain meds.  If a dying man wants a drink...who are we to say no?
