Yes, it offends my sense of order, but so what?<br /><br />Hmm...gotta think about this some more.<br /><br />For Thom & Quilly -- put your memes in whatever time zone you want!

I was just coming to the conclusion that moving Punny Monday is harder on folks (especially me!) than having it always in the same time frame was. Now I am trying to decide the best time to set it and keep it.<br /><br />word verification: flumaxedquillyhttp://quilldancer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484142014229407289.post-70125074386998641792011-01-04T16:03:15.317-05:002011-01-04T16:03:15.317-05:00My Aunt and Uncle live this way. they haven't...My Aunt and Uncle live this way. they haven't allowed anyone inside the house in years so we don't really know how bad it is.quillyhttp://quilldancer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484142014229407289.post-7365716254920532052011-01-04T14:01:00.874-05:002011-01-04T14:01:00.874-05:00I had a lady that rode my bus for years.

Her house was exactly as you described. it was horrible and I hated going in there. I talked to her son and daughter about it and they said she wouldn't let them do anything. I offered to help her clean it up and she absolutely said no. That's the way it stayed for all the years I knew her until she died. You worry about fires, disease and what not but there was nothing to be done. She was determined and when they get like that I suppose you just have to sit by and watch. They are set in their ways and I would hate to have something happen to them because we wanted to clean up.<br /><br />BTW an interesting post came in my reader from you titled Timing Is Not Everything. You aren't the first to mention how early I post and because of that I'm moving them to the day it says. I've always done it early because it makes the comments come in at a good time and give me enough time to get back to them. I've never liked posting that early, but I'm gonna start. You make sense :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484142014229407289.post-71446635733870175032011-01-04T12:36:55.939-05:002011-01-04T12:36:55.939-05:00That is so sad.

She's fine right now & her house isn't a danger zone - yet. But she lives alone & there's really no one around to help her when the inevitable downturn comes. Her sister (my MIL) is in a nursing home mostly we think because she stopped taking her blood pressure meds & had a series of strokes that damaged her memory & her ability to take care of herself. And she was MARRIED - he just didn't pay enough attention (they're in their 70s). At least aunt J tends to listen to her doctors - but what if she stops?
