So we get less than half a millimeter of rain in the last three months. My colleague and I decide to go for a walk before work a few times a week. We started last Friday with a great, energizing walk. We agree to meet on Monday, and what does it do? Rain! LOL. Today is nice, though, so gearing...

I am neither fight or flight. I'm a "freeze" kind of person. Kind of like a deer in the headlights with eyes the size of saucers, bracing for what's coming next.....

Hospice is when end of life takes place in a hospital like setting - it's a staffed nursing facility. When they come to your home, it's called palliative care. It's good there are so many options for how to live your final months, weeks and days, but we rarely give much thought to how to die...

Thanks ArmyWife! Yes, Lamb, I can go a-sheep-stealing...LOL.

Both hospice and palliative care are certainly the best alternatives. I used to work in long term care as a nurse, and there are a lot of ethical issues even in end-of-life care. One of the things I struggled the most with is that people who are able bodied and have access to the means, have the...

Thanks everyone! Hi, Lamb - yes, IDay told me you were here and so here we are! I have not been on forums much lately, but I'll sure pop in from day to day. :)

A new forum for Christians! Yay! I'm sure it will be hopping in no time. Looking forward to watching it grow... I just wanted to say that my faith persuasion is Anabaptist (Mennonite Brethren). I chose "Christian" because there were no icons for Anabaptist.
