She has to be willing to wear it always. I purchased a fall alert system for my mom. She got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, fell and broke her shoulder. Was not wearing the device because she was in bed. 🤷‍♀️

Your photo is November. How cool is that!

My Favourite Words    Pipette and plectrum, obumbrate and flimsy,  balderdash, spatchcock, flapdoodle and whimsy,  obnubilation and nontrepreneur – these are a few of my favourite words.    Sachet, humdudgeon, haboob, hurly-burly,  scroddled and dottle, goluptious and surly,  mumpsimus, tawdry, decumbent and blurb – these are a few of my favourite words.    Susurrus, zephyr, rubescent, boondoggle,  reboant, gaggle, hubris and hornswoggle,  plethora, refulgent, plinth and perturb – these are a few of my favourite words.    When the rose droops  When the branch snags  When I’m lachrymose  I simply remember my favourite words  and then I don’t feel morose.  Brian Bilston

These are a few of my favourite words …

I thought I was afraid during the Cold War. I am beyond terrified now.

Now I need to know!!! Where’s the rest…

Sad yellow lab with blue splint cast with a red heart on his front paw.

Bowie, the walking vet bill, broke his toe playing fetch at the river.

Please help Marla out, if you’re able! ❤️

Talking Heads opening for the Police. 84ish? But my fave was Joe Jackson opening for the Who. 86? Who put that one together?🤷‍♀️.
I love Joe Jackson but the crowd did not - he was amazing anyway!

Dogs are wonderful judges of character. Can sniff out all the fucko buckos.

I’m a professional engineer and was happy and privileged to be able to stay home with my kids for their first few years. But I’m not a
“Trad” wife. I’m a mom, a geologist, an engineer, a community volunteer. I think it was important for my kids to see me enjoy working with interests beyond family.

Love ferns. They are very soothing. And smell amazing.

When I put the coffee and water in the night before I always think tomorrow me will thank today me.

2 white labs looking over the backseat waiting for the ball throwing to begin.

Beautiful picture. 👏👏

Bowie and Aurora say Happy bday. Can stand for both happy birthday or happy ball day.
