Do you know about pocket coffee? It's from Ferrero. This link is expensive but see if you can find it near you for cheaper.

My wife has bad migraines. We saw a video from a neurologist who said to take high quality sea salt in a glass of water. He said when you go to the hospital, they give you a saline bag to help. It seems to be helping my Mrs. (She still takes her meds). Maybe you'll get some relief too. Good luck.

I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. 

Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country β€” as if these people haven't lived through enough horror...

I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question β€” it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. 

A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her. 

Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard. 

...

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.

This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

Wow! Carmel and I are celebrating 25 years of marriage today. Through good times and tough times we've been there for each other.

Mellie, you're my best friend and I hope we stay together forever.

Looking forward to our special dinner tonight.

Jim Rutherford says that Mike Sullivan wants to stay in the East. Doesn't sound like he's coming to #Canucks.

The fact that the only action tonight is about Tom Willander's non-signing rather than this dogshit game says it all about this season

I Watched This Game: Cursed Canucks dominate and still lose to J.T. Miller’s Rangers The Vancouver Canucks haven't deserved to win many games this season; they deserved to win this one.

Sometimes, life isn't fair. Often, hockey is even less fair than life.

The #Canucks dominated the Rangers with one of their best performances of the season. They lost 5-3.

Hockey, man.

Canucks' Kiefer Sherwood will break an NHL record with his next hit Vancouver Canucks winger Kiefer Sherwood has 383 hits in 65 games while also setting career highs in goals and points.

With just one more hit β€” almost guaranteed to come Saturday morning against the Rangers β€” Kiefer Sherwood will break the NHL record for most hits in a season. #Canucks

There are still tickets available for the big L.A. wildfire relief benefit show at the United Theater on Broadway tomorrow night. Here I am at soundcheck with Paul Shaffer and Al Jardine - the lineup for this thing is absolutely INSANE. Hope to see you there!
